Mei Terumī replied exasperatedly, but Kisame Hoshigaki didn't care, fully engrossed in his Samehada.
"Lord, the Mist Village's supply transport team has arrived at the coast. Lord Hokage wishes for you to take over."
That day, Anbu members appeared in Rong Lin's courtyard, informing him that the Mist Village's people had arrived and wished for him to take over the supplies and transport them back.
"I understand."
All Rong Lin needed to do was follow. Someone else would handle the transportation of supplies. He only needed to ensure the supplies safely reached Konoha. Of course, he also wanted to meet the two people he exchanged for with the Three-Tails:
"I hope you don't disappoint me."
Rong Lin wasn't worried that his actions would affect Kisame Hoshigaki. Instead, he was worried about Mei Terumī, whether her Kekkei Genkai would have problems because of him.
"Lord Rong Lin!!!"
The people responsible for this transport, besides a few Anbu members, were hundreds of Genin. These Genin were responsible for transporting the supplies and guarding the Anbu. Rong Lin was overseeing. This batch of supplies was too important to Konoha; not a single mistake could be made.
Compared to the number of Genin, no village could compare to Konoha. During wartime, unless they reached an unprecedented (22) level, these Genin generally wouldn't go to the battlefield.
"Mm, move."
Suigetsu Hozuki and the others were also present. Everyone had arrived. Rong Lin didn't say much and quickly made a hand seal, slamming it onto the ground.
"Roar!!!"
With a loud roar, the sealed Three-Tails appeared at the village entrance. Everyone was startled, even Suigetsu Hozuki. Fortunately, the Three-Tails didn't cause any trouble. Suigetsu Hozuki glanced at the Three-Tails' Sharingan, which was identical to Rong Lin's, and his mouth twitched.
He was a little envious of Rong Lin, and also envious of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.
"Three-Tails transport. Everyone else can relax a bit. Go back to your duties now."
Taking Shisui on top of the Three-Tails' head, Rong Lin directed the Three-Tails towards the ocean. Now, Rong Lin was directly using the Three-Tails as a summoning beast, without any courtesy.
As for the dignity of a Tailed Beast, after being controlled by him, did it still want dignity?
Spare him. If it was displeased, he welcomed it to seek revenge on him later. He would accept.
"Mizukage-sama, this is truly infuriating!!!"
Looking at the Three-Tails, which was obedient like a dog, the people of the Hidden Mist Village delegation almost spat blood in anger. You are a majestic Tailed Beast; you cannot be so meek!!!
Not even a hint of temper!!!
Suigetsu Hozuki shook his head and whispered behind him:
"I hope I won't hear such words again in the future. The Three-Tails doesn't belong to us yet. Remember, the Uchiha Sharingan has extremely high control over Tailed Beasts. Be careful."
Suigetsu Hozuki indirectly warned them that if there were any future conflicts, they must not foolishly throw the Tailed Beast out like the Third Mizukage did, and risk it being taken by others. Without a Jinchuriki's control, this would simply be serving up a dish to Rong Lin.
But Suigetsu Hozuki didn't know that for Rong Lin, having a Jinchuriki made little difference. He could directly and violently extract the Tailed Beast from the Jinchuriki's body!
See what you can do. Next, the Jinchuriki will die, and the Tailed Beast will still be controlled.
A large group of people headed towards the ocean. Because most of the team members were Genin, and the Three-Tails' speed on land was a bit slow, it took them three days to reach the seaside from Konoha.
"They're here!!!"
With so many people appearing, the people of the Hidden Mist Village had long since become wary. They only relaxed after seeing the Three-Tails and Suigetsu Hozuki in the team.
"People and supplies have arrived. You should fulfill your promise."
Upon reaching the seaside, Suigetsu Hozuki pointed at the things on the ship, looking at Rong Lin.
"Naturally, but I need the Three-Tails to drag something for me. As for the people, release them immediately upon returning to Konoha! Don't worry, Konoha has no interest in abusing prisoners."
Rong Lin said nonchalantly, waving his hand:
"You all move all the supplies onto the Three-Tails' back. If it doesn't fit, divide it up and carry it!"
"Yes!!!"
Everyone obeyed Rong Lin's command. One by one, they happily climbed onto the ship and began moving supplies. This batch of supplies was too important to Konoha; it was simply a timely rainfall.
Everyone was eagerly moving the supplies. The people of the Hidden Mist Village watched, their hearts bleeding. These things were what the Hidden Mist Village had painstakingly saved. Now, they were all someone else's.
"Mei Terumī, Kisame Hoshigaki."
Rong Lin's gaze scanned the crowd and quickly found Kisame Hoshigaki and Mei Terumī. Although there was a big difference in their appearance after the Third Great Ninja War, they were easy to identify. The number of female ninjas was not large to begin with, and Mei Terumī's hair color, delicate face, and hairstyle that covered one eye made her easy to distinguish. As for Kisame Hoshigaki, he would never be mistaken.
A shark face, no matter what corner it hid in, would be recognized immediately.
"My Lord."
Though unwilling, Mei Terumī still came forward. Kisame Hoshigaki was even more direct, approaching Rong Lin without any expression of fear.
He first glanced at Kisame Hoshigaki, who was carrying Samehada. Rong Lin nodded and said:
"Mm, not bad. Go to the back. Remember your identity from now on. Don't give me any opportunities to cause trouble, otherwise, you'll wish you were dead."
"Yes."
Kisame Hoshigaki, however, seemed to not understand this sentence. He grinned broadly, walked behind Rong Lin, making Shisui's eyebrow twitch. He really disliked Kisame Hoshigaki.
He always felt this guy was very sinister and not a good person. Yet, Kisame Hoshigaki was indeed... not a good person.
"Mei Terumī."
Rong Lin's Sharingan scanned Mei Terumī. Rong Lin then said faintly, "Go to the back."
"Yes."
Gritting her teeth, Mei Terumī took a deep breath. She could only obediently stand behind Rong Lin. The Mist ninjas could only shake their heads helplessly, their expressions unchanging.
Although there were many things, with the cooperation of hundreds of ninjas, the relocation was completed in less than two hours. In fact, there weren't that many supplies; most of the ships were empty.
These were used to pick people up. As for the ships used before, they directly became Konoha's spoils of war. There was no possibility of them going back.
"Return to the village!!!"
Both people and supplies had arrived. Rong Lin inspected them, then directly declared to return to the village and hand over the mission.
