If it weren't for the fear of thus delaying Ronglin's important matters, the Black Shark would have wanted to raise a fuss first.
In the middle of the vast ocean, only the Black Shark's enormous head remained exposed, providing Ronglin a place to rest. The rest of its body was submerged in the seawater, its long body swimming rapidly through the water.
Ronglin had never expected this particular use for the Black Shark. Now, bringing it out, it was simply too perfect.
The Black Shark seemed to be entering the vast ocean for the first time, appearing extremely excited. Its excited demeanor made Ronglin want to laugh.
The frontal war on the front lines had erupted. The first day of the war ended miserably. Neither side should think of getting off lightly; each had hundreds of casualties. However, what puzzled the Third Mizukage was that the Konoha people seemed to grow braver the more they fought. Was this his own misconception?
The Third Mizukage didn't know; he also worried that Konoha would set up another trap. Regarding this, the Third Mizukage could only feign ignorance after pondering for a while. It was fine that the Konoha people fought braver and braver, but that Uchiha Ronglin, who should have been flayed alive, actually didn't appear.
It was understandable that Tsunade didn't appear on the battlefield; the Chief Commander, unless absolutely necessary, would never directly rush onto the battlefield. Tsunade would count for it, but why didn't Uchiha Ronglin appear?
From the very beginning, the Third Mizukage's impression of Ronglin was that he was flashy but insubstantial, believing that everything about Ronglin was exaggerated. But now he had no choice but to take it seriously.
Ronglin's previous actions had painfully stabbed the Third Mizukage in the heart. He worried that Ronglin would once again infiltrate from somewhere, and the Hidden Mist Village simply couldn't endure the torment.
What was frustrating was that Ronglin had swept through the Hidden Mist Village's outposts, causing the number of sensory ninjas to plummet drastically. They couldn't cover every single location. If Uchiha Ronglin found a loophole and infiltrated...
Whenever the Third Mizukage thought of these things, his scalp would tingle, which was why he always kept people observing Ronglin's movements closely. However, he never observed Ronglin appearing anywhere. This immediately made the Third Mizukage ring an alarm bell in his heart; he absolutely had to be careful and vigilant.
Thus, quite a few ninjas were dispatched to prevent Uchiha Ronglin from infiltrating and causing destruction. With Ronglin's strength, if there was no one of absolute power to hold him back,
he would only get the chance to casually slaughter a group of people, and Hidden Mist Village would suffer heavy losses. It was very difficult for ordinary ninjas to hold him back, unless their numbers reached a certain point.
This was the Third Mizukage's thought. But if he knew that sometimes, the more people there were, the more people died, who knew what kind of expression he would show?
Furthermore, Ronglin had no intention of infiltrating from land; he chose the ocean. This was something the Third Mizukage, and even the entire Hidden Mist Village, never expected.
"Sigh~ How troublesome." Looking at the boundless ocean, Ronglin felt extremely bored. He could only sit on the Black Shark's head. The Black Shark needed to circle a large area in the ocean, and then, only then, would it swim towards the enemy camp.
Undoubtedly, riding on the Black Shark's head was very boring. But Ronglin himself couldn't fly, nor did he have any flying summons. He could only obediently let the Black Shark take him. However, Ronglin also gave it a promise: this time, when they reached the enemy camp...
"Go! Do! Your! Worst!!! As long as you have the ability, the wilder you get, the better. I have absolutely no objections."
Ronglin's words made the Black Shark very happy. It had been looking forward to such a battle for a very long time. Before, it had never had a chance to show off, but now the opportunity had arrived.
The sight of the Black Shark, with its colossal body, charging into the enemy camp and destroying everything, was somewhat terrifying. Ronglin felt a bit unwilling to imagine it. If he really let the Black Shark cause destruction, Ronglin could only pity the Hidden Mist Village people in his heart.
The Black Shark swam very fast in the water, but no matter how fast, it couldn't compare to Ronglin running on land. Yet, he also needed to maintain his stamina and Chakra, unable to waste Chakra in other places.
Although there were some small islands around, Ronglin could completely run on the sea surface. He could rest on small islands when he got tired, but doing so would incur losses. So, even if he was bored and restless, Ronglin still obediently sat on the Black Shark's head, letting the Black Shark slowly advance through the vast ocean.
"My Lord, we can approach the coastline tonight. Should we go ashore now?"
Finally, the Black Shark spoke. Because the surroundings were full of mist, Ronglin couldn't see too far unless he activated his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and Byakugan together for reconnaissance. Therefore, he didn't know his current position or how far he was from the coastline.
"Have we arrived?"
"Still some distance, My Lord. How should we proceed?"
The Black Shark's voice was very excited. It was a bit impatient now, wanting to rush into the enemy camp and cause destruction.
"The operation is simple." A mischievous smile appeared on Ronglin's face as he looked at the Black Shark and said:
"Wait. You'll directly charge into the enemy camp, attracting their attention, while I'll infiltrate the camp."
"Uh..." The Black Shark was dumbfounded. That's not how the script goes!!!
"My Lord, but you said before..."
The Black Shark immediately stopped. It was you who said 'I'll cause destruction, you fight.' How did it turn around now?
"The front lines are heating up. Undoubtedly, there aren't many people left in the enemy camp. But do you think the enemy would foolishly leave no one to guard it? And if something happens to their rear camp, do you think the other side will quickly send reinforcements?"
"...Yes." The Black Shark thought hard for a moment, then replied helplessly.
"Precisely." Ronglin extended his hand, patted the Black Shark's head, and said with a smile: "Then you obediently charge in and attract their attention. This kind of heavy destruction mission will still be carried out by me. When we reach the coastline, just drop me off."
"Yes..." The Black Shark was very depressed. Waiting for two days only to get such a result made it utterly frustrated. But even if it was frustrated, it could only obey. Otherwise, if it offended Ronglin, it would be the one to suffer.
"Go for it, Black Shark. Make a bigger commotion."
Upon reaching the coastline, Ronglin jumped off the Black Shark's head and smiled.
Ronglin told it to drop him off, and the Black Shark dared not do otherwise. It could only obediently stop and let Ronglin get off.
"Yes," the Black Shark responded dejectedly, resigned to its role as cannon fodder.
After resting for a while and recovering its stamina, the Black Shark charged into the forest...
