Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!!
When Ronglin opened his eyes again, the Mangekyo Sharingan had evolved into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. A power difficult to describe in words slowly coursed through his body. Ronglin, familiar with this power, was greatly surprised.
This was the power of time. Could it be that due to the further evolution of the Sharingan, his control over the power of time had also strengthened?
Raising his hand, Ronglin thought, and immediately felt that within a radius of dozens of meters around him, time had stopped. This made Ronglin completely stunned. Previously, his maximum ability was only a few meters around him, but now it had surged more than tenfold. Time was frozen in a "domain" spanning dozens of meters around him.
This meant that within this area where time was frozen, Ronglin was king!
"Hahahaha..."
The evolution of the Sharingan meant his strength had surged again. Ronglin couldn't help but laugh loudly. The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan flashed once and then reverted to the most common One-Tomoe Sharingan.
Before the patrol team arrived at the back mountains, Ronglin left directly. The patrol team found nothing, not understanding who had been shouting loudly there earlier.
Sitting in his office, the Third Hokage's eyes suddenly widened as he looked towards the back mountains. He had just felt a powerful energy fluctuation, and although it was fleeting, its immense power shocked him.
"Lord Hokage."
"Immediately go and investigate who was in the back mountains!"
"Yes."
Unfortunately, both the Anbu and the back mountain patrol team found nothing. Ronglin had already left the back mountains before they arrived.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Ronglin did not seek out Tsunade. He didn't want Tsunade to be caught in the middle and put in a difficult position because of his affairs.
The war on the front lines with Sunagakure was still in a stalemate, and Ronglin embarked on the road to the Land of Earth.
With Ronglin leaving the battlefield, one of the main leaders was gone, making even Jiraiya, who usually had time to rest, busier. Various missions that didn't necessarily require his personal involvement now did, but Jiraiya still remained to command.
Ronglin's departure made the Sunagakure side breathe a sigh of relief. They would rather face Jiraiya, an experienced veteran, than that monster Uchiha Ronglin!
Jiraiya's strength was indeed great, but he didn't possess Ronglin's heaven-defying abilities. Both his power over time and his Mangekyo Sharingan could make many Sand Shinobi tremble in fear.
"From today onwards, you, Uchiha Shisui, will be my bodyguard. Now, pack your things and set off with me."
After three days of anxious waiting, Shisui grew more and more impatient. Finally, the notification arrived. Shisui, who had been left hanging for days, finally breathed a sigh of relief, then was instantly shocked.
That person referred to Uchiha Ronglin!!!?
Shisui was no stranger to Ronglin. He was a few years older than him, a super genius of the clan, a peerless individual. All the children in the clan looked up to him as an idol. Shisui couldn't believe that one day he would be valued by him and become his bodyguard!
Shisui knew very well what being a bodyguard meant: being responsible for protecting Ronglin's safety and handling some minor matters for him. Protection, however, was not the main point;
any battles that Ronglin didn't need to personally handle would be undertaken by him. Similarly, Ronglin would also instruct him. This was a hidden benefit, so Shisui was so excited that he could hardly control himself.
Among so many peers and veteran strongmen in the clan, Ronglin had not chosen anyone else but him. This was like a huge pie falling from the sky, making Shisui dizzy with joy.
Looking at the excited and incoherent Shisui, Ronglin smiled and shook his head, raising his hand to place it on his head: "Remember my words, you are my bodyguard,
so you must try your best to improve your strength. From today onwards, follow me and hone yourself. I will give you some targeted training, and I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Sir, I won't disappoint you! I will definitely succeed."
Shisui, blushing, answered loudly. Due to his inner excitement, his face turned completely red.
The later renowned Shunshin no Shisui was at this moment just a child.
On the way to the Land of Earth, Shisui kept looking at Ronglin with an expression of adoration. Ronglin didn't understand why Shisui stared at him so much; wasn't he tired? Was the power of an idol really that great?
Don't let Shisui's slightly goofy appearance fool you; the little guy was actually quite strong, just not yet having applied for graduation. He could have applied for early graduation but hadn't.
Not everyone attended the Ninja Academy. Some children received education from elders within their families and didn't go to school, but such cases were relatively rare.
"Sir."
Taking the roasted meat respectfully offered by Shisui, Ronglin felt that having a little attendant by his side was quite nice. At least he didn't have to do certain things himself. For example, right now, Ronglin simply said he didn't want to eat dry rations, so Shisui went and caught a wild chicken, roasted it, and respectfully offered it.
"This is for you."
Seeing Shisui sit aside and take out dry rations, Ronglin felt that the kid's mind was a bit slow. Couldn't you have made more? You let me eat meat, and you eat dry rations?!
If it were anyone else, this would be a matter of course, but Ronglin couldn't do such a thing. He tore off half of the roasted chicken and threw it to Shisui.
Catching the roasted chicken, Shisui was stunned.
"Eat it, lest others say I abused you by making you eat dry rations."
Ronglin tried it and found the taste quite good. He didn't expect Shisui, being so young, to be a good cook. It seemed he hadn't chosen the wrong attendant.
The biggest reason Ronglin wanted Shisui to follow him was to prevent Danzo from having ill intentions. It was also a good opportunity for him to teach a few trustworthy individuals to help him with certain tasks, and Shisui was a perfect fit. Without family ties, Ronglin could teach Shisui with confidence.
"Hehehe~~~"
Shisui scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, but then hugged the roasted chicken and munched on it heartily. Since his father's death, he had been living alone and was no stranger to cooking.
"Sir, shouldn't we speed up?"
After eating, Ronglin continued towards the Land of Earth with Shisui. Soon, Shisui's question arose: Ronglin had been recalled to the village for a special mission, but why was he so leisurely? It felt more like a leisure trip than an actual mission.
Walking slowly on the road, Ronglin looked at the clear blue sky, not in a hurry at all.
