After leaving the hospital, Rong Lin planned to go home and change his clothes, then continue practicing some basics at the training grounds.

"Excuse me, please."

A golden figure rushed towards the hospital, cradling a person covered in blood.

Rong Lin stepped aside, glanced back, and felt slightly surprised. Golden long hair, isn't this Minato?

But it looked like the situation wasn't very good.

Perhaps he was on a mission and his comrade suffered severe injuries!

Minato wasn't omnipotent either. Even though the Flying Thunder God was formidable, he couldn't take everything upon himself. It was normal for someone to die during a mission.

But hopefully, it's nothing serious!

Rong Lin's impression of Minato wasn't bad. Strong, young and handsome, responsible. It was just that during the Nine-Tails' rampage, he handled things a bit hastily. When it concerned his wife and son, even the most mature and stable person would panic. No matter what, Minato was just an ordinary person, not a god!

In the original story, Naruto seemed pitiful, but as the plot unfolded, most people would exclaim that this fellow's old man, Minato, was simply a monster, even making various arrangements for his son many years later, especially the seal for the Nine-Tails' Yang Chakra.

A Nine-Tails known as a calamity saved Naruto time and time again, making him stronger than strong.

After watching the entire Naruto series, Rong Lin's deepest impression of Naruto, apart from his foolishness, was his Rasengan, constantly being saved by the Nine-Tails, and borrowing the Nine-Tails' power to defeat one enemy after another.

Nine-Tails? When the time comes, I can get one to play with!

As for Naruto, Rong Lin could only say sorry. This thing killed your old man and old lady; I'll just take it off your hands for you.

"Yo, Kai!"

"Huh, Rong Lin, you're here to train?"

Kai, who was training hard in the training grounds, looked at Rong Lin's attire, his eyes widening like a bull's, his mind unable to process it.

"Yeah, can't slack off on the basics~."

Rong Lin smiled and nodded, walked to the side, jumped a couple of times, tied bandages around his hands and feet, and started jumping around haphazardly towards a wooden dummy.

Kai foolishly continued kicking the wooden dummy, but his gaze couldn't help but drift towards Rong Lin, wanting to know what kind of taijutsu Rong Lin was practicing.

But Kai was disappointed because he couldn't understand it. Rong Lin was like a monkey, twisting his body, jumping here and there.

What kind of bizarre posture is this?

Looking at Rong Lin standing on one leg, with the other leg raised high, Kai felt his brain was a bit insufficient. Does Konoha have such a taijutsu?

Just as Kai was planning to observe more closely, Rong Lin started to change. He continuously jumped, using his knees and elbows to strike the wooden dummy, once, twice, thrice, like an tireless machine. Sweat flowed down his somewhat pale, tender skin, dripping onto the ground.

Kai, at the side, had completely forgotten his original purpose for coming to the training grounds. He stood there, eyes wide, staring at Rong Lin without stopping.

"Haaa~~~"

After an unknown amount of time, when the sun began to set in the west, Rong Lin finally stopped. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Rong Lin turned his head and saw Kai staring at him, blinking repeatedly.

"Kai, are you done with your training?"

"Huh?!"

Kai subconsciously nodded, then immediately shook his head vigorously.

Rong Lin, who was wholeheartedly immersed in his training, hadn't noticed what Kai was doing, so he didn't know that Kai had been staring at him for more than two hours.

"Hehe~~~"

Kai's incomprehensible answer seemed very foolish, forcing a slight laugh from Rong Lin.

Embarrassed, Kai scratched his face. At this time, Kai was still very thin-skinned, and his face turned red. He hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth, but then stopped. Rong Lin smiled and said, "What's wrong? Just say what you want to say, don't hold it in."

Since Rong Lin had said so, Kai, even if embarrassed, had to ask, "Rong Lin, what kind of taijutsu is that? I've never seen it before."

"This isn't any taijutsu, it's just a type of fist art. What, are you interested?"

What Rong Lin was practicing was just Muay Thai, which he had seen when traveling in Thailand in his previous life. He got interested and practiced it a bit. Muay Thai is very extreme, utilizing all parts of the body that can attack to inflict damage on the enemy. With the support of chakra, it can unleash even greater strength, which is why Rong Lin chose it. That's all there is to it, it's not really any rare treasure.

In fact, the differences between taijutsu styles weren't that great, though of course, things like the Eight Gates and the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist didn't count.

"Fist art?!"

Kai scratched his head, then quickly shook his head. "Never mind. I thought it was some special taijutsu. Seeing you jumping around all the time and doing some very strange movements, and the training was also very strange, I felt very curious."

Upon hearing Rong Lin say it was just a simple fist art, Kai instantly lost interest.

"...Oh?!" Rong Lin was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh. "What, doesn't it feel formidable?"

"Hehe~ Hehe~~"

Kai gave a dry laugh twice, somewhat embarrassed, but also tacitly admitting Rong Lin's words.

Perhaps compared to some special taijutsu, Muay Thai is very weak. But when it comes to extreme methods of attack, Muay Thai is not that simple. Rong Lin looked at Kai and said with a smile, "Since it's like this, then let's give it a try. Don't worry, I won't unleash too much chakra."

Perhaps, only by letting Kai experience it firsthand could he understand what Muay Thai was.

"Really?!"

Kai's eyes lit up. He had always wanted to challenge Rong Lin but had always been rejected. He didn't expect Rong Lin to actually want to spar with him now. This was something Kai couldn't ask for more; the surprise came too suddenly, (so good that) Kai found it somewhat hard to believe.

"Come on, just a simple move."

Rong Lin beckoned, flexed his hands and feet, stood far away, tossed his shoes aside, and was only wearing a pair of shorts he had made himself. This was also the reason why Kai had been looking at him strangely at the beginning. In fact, many people found Rong Lin's attire strange.

Running around everywhere in shorts?

"Then let's begin!!!"

Kai happily jumped to the other side, assuming a fighting stance. But in the next second, Kai's pupils suddenly dilated, and a figure rapidly enlarged before him.

After Kai got ready, Rong Lin moved, like a cheetah running at high speed. Rong Lin charged straight up, his right knee smashing forward.

Although they were the same age, Rong Lin was much taller than Kai. People who didn't know might even think there was a significant age difference between the two...
