Among his peers, Rong Lin's development was relatively fast. This made him stand much taller than others of the same age when they stood together.
This made the two of them look like a teenager fighting a child.
"Not good!!!"
Rong Lin's speed was too fast, his attacks so quick that Kai could barely react. All Kai could do was raise his arms to block Rong Lin's knee.
Thud!!
A dull sound. The strong impact force from the rapid rush, transmitted through Rong Lin's knee to Kai's body, sent Kai's qi and blood surging. He almost coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his whole body flew backward.
But what horrified Kai even more was that Rong Lin's knee didn't change course. His body, carrying Kai in mid-air, forcefully changed trajectory and slammed towards the ground.
"Ugh!! "Seven Seven Three"!"
Kai felt like he was about to vomit the leftovers he ate yesterday. Rong Lin's knee slammed hard into his stomach, making Kai's internal organs twist together. His stomach, the severely affected area, felt like his intestines were about to be mangled.
The powerful impact force smashed a large pit into the ground. Kai's face turned crimson, and a trickle of fresh blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. "Gah, my..."
His body suffered a strong impact, and Kai's entire mind exploded, full of questions. How could Rong Lin's speed and strength be so immense?
"Ugh!!"
An elbow slammed hard onto Kai's glabella, and Kai, whose body still couldn't react, directly rolled his eyes back and lost consciousness.
"Huh, he fainted."
After a series of attacks ended, Rong Lin jumped aside. Only then did he realize that his final blow had directly knocked Kai out cold.
If Kai hadn't fainted, Rong Lin would have told him that this was Muay Thai: using the hardest parts of one's own body to heavily injure the opponent with lightning-fast strikes, using elbows, knees, shins, and even the head, not just traditional kicks and punches, to attack.
"Seems like I overdid it a bit, but I didn't use too much force..."
Looking at Kai, whose body was embedded in the ground with only his head lolling on the surface, Rong Lin first reviewed his actions, then picked up the brought-along kettle and poured the remaining water on Kai's face.
Cold water splashed on his face, and the unconscious Kai woke up. "Aargh!!!"
He coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood. Kai groggily opened his eyes, feeling like all his internal organs had been crushed, especially his abdomen. The severely impacted abdomen throbbed with stabbing pain, making even breathing painful for Kai.
His head was completely muddled. Rong Lin had slammed him hard with an elbow. This was even more severe than a concussion from a fist.
The hardness of a fist couldn't compare to places like knees and elbows.
"Kai, are you okay?"
Rong Lin wanted to pull Kai up, but seeing his face, which was scrunched up like a chrysanthemum, he gave up.
If he moved him now, Kai would probably cry out in pain.
"Pain..."
The waves of intense pain made Kai's voice sound very weak. His originally healthy-colored face turned pale, and he breathed shallowly. At this moment, Kai didn't even dare to breathe deeply.
At this moment, where was Kai's earlier excitement? He looked like a flower that had been scalded by boiling water – wilted.
"Are you okay?"
At this time, a ninja cultivating nearby in the training ground, seeing that things were not right, looked at Kai with concern.
"Hello, senior. My friend might need to rest for a while to recover."
"Oh, I see."
The chunin who came to check the situation nodded, observed Kai for a moment, and said to Rong Lin, "Then you keep an eye on him. If it's not looking good, send him to the medical department. I can see those two hits of yours were quite ruthless, but your attack method is very strange."
Among Konoha's taijutsu, there really wasn't a taijutsu style like Muay Thai where every move was lethal, constantly using knees and elbows to attack the opponent. With Rong Lin's strength, even if controlled, it wasn't something Kai could withstand.
"I will, thank you for your concern, senior."
One doesn't hit a smiling face, and moreover, the other party had come over out of concern. Rong Lin replied politely, without showing any other emotions.
If it were the socially awkward Kakashi, he would definitely still have that same expression, and those who didn't know him would think he was looking down on them.
...
"Gah, Rong Lin, you, are you trying to beat me to death?"
After resting for a while, Kai could finally speak normally, but the pain made him sweat profusely. He gritted his teeth and didn't cry out. The pain in his internal organs wasn't something superficial that would dissipate quickly, especially his head, which was completely muddled, and his ears were ringing constantly.
"Muay Thai is like this: attacks are swift and fierce, every move is lethal. Do you need me to send you to the medical department?"
"......"
Isn't that obvious?
Kai, who felt pain throughout his body even when moving a finger, was speechless. In this state, didn't he need to go to the hospital?
And how would he know Muay Thai's attack methods? He just saw you constantly hitting the tree trunk with your knees and elbows and felt it was strange.
"Ah!!!"
Alright, Rong Lin admitted he was a bit rough. He wanted to directly pull Kai out of the pit, but Kai let out a pig-like squeal.
"I don't understand why you kids train so desperately. This little brat has quite a few deformed bones, and some internal organs are damaged. He needs treatment, and then a period of rest. For the next few days, don't even think about moving around."
The female ninja in charge of treatment at the medical department muttered while treating Kai. The treatment process was a bit horrifying, especially when she was correcting the bone positions. Kai's screams almost tore down the roof of the medical department.
0.5 "Looks like I can't be reckless in the future."
After the treatment ended, Rong Lin paid the medical fees and left the medical department.
Compared to the Might Guy of the future who would loudly proclaim himself Konoha's Sublime Blue Beast, the current Kai was undoubtedly still very tender.
Hopefully, he can grow up quickly!
Looking at his depleted wallet, Rong Lin was speechless. He had accumulated it with great difficulty for a long time, and now it was all gone.
"Hello, Uncle Snake."
Suddenly, Rong Lin saw a familiar back walking out of the hospital connected to the medical department. He subconsciously called out the address everyone liked to use in his previous life.
For Orochimaru, this character who was both righteous and evil, with a sinister aura and amazing escape techniques, Naruto fans would uniformly call him—Uncle Snake!
