Naruto: Extreme Bloodline Limit

Ronglin had no desire for the White Fang incident to happen to him. Calculating the time, that matter seemed to be drawing ever closer.

What a pity—a Kage-level expert!

He had actually been unable to withstand the attacks of public opinion and chose a cowardly suicide at home, directly causing Konoha to lose one of its greatest pillars. Even Konoha, the strongest village, did not have many Kage-level experts. White Fang's suicide had undoubtedly dealt the village a tremendous loss.

Not to mention that this incident had a huge impact on Kakashi, directly affecting the rest of his life.

If only White Fang had not died. Unfortunately, even if he knew about some things, he was powerless to change them. He was still too weak right now. Still, the evolution of his Sharingan counted as good news.

So next...

Thinking of Tsunade's promise, Ronglin's heart began to race with excitement.

"Hey! Uchiha Ronglin!!"

At that moment, a loud shout made Ronglin turn around. He discovered that quite a few of his former classmates were gathered in the tavern, eating dumplings.

"Hello, everyone."

They had been classmates, after all, so Ronglin smiled and nodded.

"Have you been out on missions? We haven't seen you in a long time. Come eat something with us."

Rin, who had a more lively personality, smiled as she invited him. The others joined in as well, and Ronglin found it hard to refuse, so he agreed.

"I'm really jealous of you. You graduated so early and have already started going out on missions. How is it? Is it fun?"

Obito quickly squeezed his way to Ronglin's side and looked at him with envy. Ronglin smiled helplessly.

"It wasn't exactly fun. More boring and tedious, really. This mission was an escort mission. We escorted supplies into the Land of Wind, and along the way, we ran into a group of bandits and fought them."

"Wow!!!"

The battle had provided no training whatsoever for Ronglin, but to these children who had yet to graduate, it was still incredibly exciting. Especially when they heard that Ronglin had quickly taken down a Chunin, they cried out in amazement. Even Kakashi probably would not have found that easy to do.

Quite a few of them looked at Ronglin with faint admiration in their eyes.

People... Ronglin could not help but sigh. When you were someone cast aside, everyone looked down on you. But once you had enough strength, everyone would flock to you.

"By the way, where's Kakashi?"

Ronglin did not care about any of that and casually asked. Normally, Kakashi, Rin, and Obito would always appear together.

"That guy."

At the mention of Kakashi, Obito's expression changed, and his tone turned sour. He was clearly unhappy.

"Hehe, Kakashi went home early today, so he didn't come. Besides, he doesn't like gatherings like this."

In the end, Kurenai Yuhi answered with a giggle. "Asuma didn't come either. Oh, right, Ronglin, I heard that between you guys..."

Kurenai Yuhi had not yet developed that mature, seductive charm. She instead gave off the adorable air of a young girl, and her red eyes were especially captivating. No wonder Asuma liked her so much.

"It had nothing to do with me. He and Hyuga Tianlin were the ones who came looking for trouble with me."

Naturally, Ronglin would not take the blame for something like that. If anyone had to take it, it should be Asuma.

"So that's how it was." Everyone suddenly understood.
