The few members of the First Squad of the Anbu all laughed, teasing Hatake Kakashi, leaving Hatake Sakumo utterly speechless, and Rong Lin shook his head, indicating that he was merely forced. If it wasn't for Hatake Kakashi asking for trouble himself, he wouldn't have been so heavy-handed. Fortunately, the other party wasn't seriously injured.
It was a pity that Hatake Kakashi would rather suffer even more severe injuries himself than endure such humiliating treatment.
There was no discrimination against new recruits in the squad. Besides Hatake Sakumo's warning, Rong Lin's great reputation also played a role. If anyone secretly sought trouble with him, they would be instantly humiliated. Besides some stubborn individuals, no one liked to ask for trouble and have someone come to deal with them. Except for Hatake Kakashi, of course.
The simple meeting quickly ended. Under Hatake Sakumo's leadership, the mission of the Anbu's First Squad began. This first mission, which brought together two Kage-level powerhouses and five elite Jonin, was very arduous, at least in Rong Lin's opinion. The content of the mission was so embarrassing that Hatake Sakumo himself found it hard to say.
Patrol the back mountain of Konoha! Prevent anyone from destroying the Hokage Rock!
What an arduous mission, so arduous that everyone in the entire squad felt listless. Are all Anbu missions like this?
On a large tree, Rong Lin sat not far from Hatake Sakumo, munching on the roasted chicken Hatake Sakumo brought back. He was bored to death!! Yet, he couldn't go and do anything else. He had to stay here constantly, continuously walking back and forth.
The six members of the First Squad were divided into three groups to patrol. Rong Lin and Hatake Sakumo were in one group. Hatake Sakumo was the Anbu captain and had the right to leave at any time, which was why he could bring food for Rong Lin to pass the time and prevent him from being so bored.
"Otherwise, what do you think? Where do so many pursuit missions and escort missions for our Anbu come from? In fact, most of the time, Anbu ninjas are very relaxed. But once a mission is received, it means the mission is very arduous, and sacrifice is commonplace. Just get used to it. If you happen to encounter the Fire Nation's National Celebration, you'll be even more speechless. The mission to protect the daimyo is not something everyone likes to do, at least I don't."
Hatake Sakumo gave a cunning smile. Rong Lin felt an impulse to kill. What was this?
He picked up a chicken leg and bit into it fiercely. Rong Lin said speechlessly, "Then he can't always be like this, can he?"
"Of course, it can't always be this relaxed. Our next mission is the arduous mission of guarding the Hokage Tower."
"The mission after that is to patrol the village, preventing anyone from fighting in the village and causing damage."
"And the mission after that, and the one after that, is..."
"Stop it!! Stop it! Don't say any more, I don't want to listen. If you keep going, I'll fall into despair."
Rong Lin felt a massive headache. What kind of useless missions were these? Why would the strongest First Squad still do such boring missions? Did they have to be so insidious?
"Hahahaha..." Hatake Sakumo laughed unscrupulously: "Under normal circumstances, basic missions that aren't too dangerous are usually given to other squads to carry out. Only if a dangerous mission is encountered will the First Squad be dispatched. So you need to be mentally prepared."
"Oh, heavens."
Rong Lin's lips twitched. He didn't want to talk anymore, because this would be even more uncomfortable than being in an ordinary squad. How many missions could there be that would require the First Squad to be dispatched?
This doesn't mean that most of the missions executed by the First Squad are gatekeeping, patrolling the back mountain, patrolling the village, or even guarding something that doesn't exist?
"Hahahaha..." Imagination and reality were different. Rong Lin felt a great headache. Hatake Sakumo's unscrupulous and cunning laughter came again, because it was his suggestion to transfer Rong Lin to the First Squad, not the Third Hokage's intention.
The First Squad of the Anbu was the strongest. This meant that there wouldn't be too many missions worth dispatching the First Squad. If the First Squad were dispatched for every mission, what would other squads do? This way, the First Squad would absolutely be exhausted to death!
Therefore, most of the time, provided they didn't encounter highly dangerous missions, the First Squad was very idle. But for someone like Rong Lin, who couldn't sit still, it was torturous. Imagine, not long ago, you were still busy running all over the world in an ordinary squad, fighting various dangerous individuals. But after joining the stronger First Squad of the Anbu, the missions you received were gatekeeping and patrolling. This huge change was difficult for most people to accept, and Rong Lin was no exception.
What Hatake Sakumo said was not wrong. The next day, Rong Lin stood at the entrance of the Hokage's office, feeling incredibly depressed. He had never thought that one day he would stand here helping the Third Hokage guard the door. This was even more irritating than patrolling the back mountain. He had immense strength but could do nothing, and he wasn't allowed to do anything else.
Patrolling the back mountain and patrolling the village could at least allow for laziness and secret training. But here, it was basically hopeless. Everyone who entered the Hokage's office would inevitably see you.
"Hmph, Rong Lin, how does it feel to join the Anbu?"
...
In his boredom, Rong Lin observed everyone who passed by. It was at this moment that Rong Lin realized how difficult it was to be the Hokage. Not to mention, the heavy documents processed every day could drive anyone crazy. In less than two hours, over fifty documents had already entered the Hokage's office.
Documents needed to be processed, and every squad in the village needed to be arranged. Just thinking about it made him feel dizzy. Suddenly, Rong Lin appeared in front of the office with his team—Kakashi, Rin, and Obito. Rong Lin enthusiastically greeted him, and Rong Lin, wearing a Nine-Tails mask, rolled his eyes. Do you have to be so obvious, you bastard?
"Uchiha Rong Lin!!!" Kakashi, Obito, and Rin, who originally weren't paying attention to Rong Lin, gasped in surprise. Rin happily ran up, circling Rong Lin, constantly looking him over, as if Rong Lin was a monkey.
"I didn't expect you to join the Anbu so quickly!! Hmph, we're finally graduates, but you're not good at all; you didn't even come to the reunion."
Rin chattered non-stop. Obito looked at Rong Lin's equipment with an envious expression. The Anbu was synonymous with strong individuals. Without absolute strength, it was basically hopeless to enter. Kakashi's gaze on Rong Lin was filled with determination. Rong Lin was always his goal, his dream goal.
