Although Ronglin rarely involved himself in affairs and seemed rather indifferent, his presence or absence made all the difference.
With Ronglin's strength, even if he did nothing, he still gave people a sense of security.
A document slid across the table. Ronglin picked it up, opened it, and began reading.
"Hmm~~ I never expected things to go so badly for you after I left."
The document contained reports on each village's losses since joining the war.
"The heavy fog makes it extremely easy for our people to be ambushed or stumble into traps."
Ay frowned as he explained.
"Right now, we're all considering whether we should find a way to disperse this thick fog."
No war was without casualties. Even if the losses exceeded expectations, they could still bear them.
What truly gave them a headache was the dense fog. It was a serious problem. Aside from sensory ninja, everyone else who entered the fog had both their vision and perception weakened. One careless step, and they would be ambushed by the enemy.
A great many ninja had died this way.
"Then disperse it."
Ronglin casually tossed the document back onto the table. Looking at Ōnoki and the other three, he said with amusement, "Don't tell me you've been hesitating over this all along?"
As the Commander-in-Chief, Ōnoki immediately felt embarrassed by Ronglin's words. Tsunade took the initiative to explain, "Actually, we considered dispersing it. We even covered quite a few nearby water sources because of it. But if we do that, the enemy will retreat immediately!!"
At that point, Tsunade stopped without continuing. No one present was foolish; they all knew that if the enemy retreated any farther, they would reach the sea, and that would only make things more troublesome.
"Then let them retreat!!"
Ronglin found it amusing.
