I promote boxing in the world of Konoha

"asshole!"

On the way back to the village, Tenten kicked the unconscious Sunagakure ninja who was being held up by Kai on the shoulder.

"He actually said I was worthless!"

"Tiantian, play well!"Meitka not only did not stop him, but also expressed his praise.

On the other hand, Xiao Li, who was walking silently aside, looked terribly ugly. He was not seriously injured physically, but the injury in his heart was very serious. He didn't even expect it.

, when I faced a chuunin, I actually couldn't fight at all. This was completely different from what I had imagined before, and the battle exercises in daily training were also different.

Fighting to the death and daily sparring were completely different things.

Especially... He kept trying his best to compare with Ningji, but this time, he was completely defeated.

Ningci had already used soft fists to hit the acupuncture points of this chunin. The threat to ninjas who cannot use ninjutsu in a short period of time will be greatly reduced. Even Teacher Kai If he couldn't arrive in time, Neji would not be defeated.

"sorry."Xiao Li couldn't help but said,"I'm holding everyone back! Kai patted his head and encouraged:"Xiao Li, youth is a process of constant making mistakes and constant corrections!" If you can recognize your own problems, that’s already a big improvement!"

"Thank you, Teacher Kai."Xiao Li said softly

"It's okay, Xiao Li. I was so scared at first that I didn't know what to do."Tiantian also spoke out to comfort him and patted Xiao Li's shoulder hard,"The murderous aura of the chuunin is really terrifying!

She said and looked at Ningji:"Ningji, you are still awesome, you are not afraid at all.""

Ningji shook his head:"It's not that I'm not afraid, I just think it's useless to be afraid."

"good. Kai smiled and said,"Fear does not defeat the enemy!" Tiantian and Xiao Li should learn this from Ningji!"

Ningji took a deep look at Teacher Kai, but did not tell what he had seen before.

……

Return to Konoha and report the mission.

A C-level mission, because there are ninja enemies, and there are more than one, the level should naturally be raised.

As for the few traitorous ninjas that Kai brought back, they learned everything after being thrown into the interrogation room for an interrogation.

These ninjas are all Sunagakure rebels because their carelessness caused the mission to fail during a mission in Sunagakure Village. Fearing severe punishment from the village, they simply defected and sneaked into the neighboring Fire Country. They gathered a group of bandits with their ninja strength and made money by looting some small villages.

This time when he bumped into a Konoha ninja, it was natural that he would be caught.

Konoha immediately contacted Sunagakure Village. After informing them of the situation, Sunagakure sent people over to take the people back for disposal. Of course, Konoha was also paid a large sum of money.

Part of this money was given to the third class as a reward for them.

Another half month passed in the blink of an eye.

Late at night.

Neji came to the village's training ground and looked at the forest next to him. He knew that Xiao Li was training inside.

Since the end of the last mission, Xiao Li has become much quieter and has further lengthened his training time.

This would definitely not work. As a companion, Neji felt that he needed to have an in-depth chat with him. So tonight, he came.

Walking into the forest, he suddenly stopped

……

"If you can't do 500 push-ups at once, just jump rope 200 times, and do double pirouettes!"

"You can’t jump two thousand times in a row! Just kick the wooden stake two thousand times!"

In the forest late at night, even the insects and birds were asleep, and Xiao Li was still training hard on his physical fitness.

However, the conditions he set for himself were too harsh. After a thousand jumps on the rope, his body began to become sluggish, and his feet tripped on the rope. , the body also lost balance and hit the tree stump.

The skipping rope did not meet the requirements. He should immediately start kicking the wooden stump two thousand times, but Xiao Li did not get up and just made a low whimper.

"Xiao Li, are you tired?"

Kai's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li immediately stood up, wiped away his tears, and started kicking the wooden stakes

"Teacher Kai, why are you here... Haven't I already apologized for my mistakes in the last mission? Kai looked at Xiao Li, who had his back turned to him, and said with a smile:"Li, you are indeed different from Ningci. You are not talented in ninjutsu, genjutsu, or even physical skills." However, there is also a possibility that you are stronger than Neji."

"I don’t need your comfort, Teacher Kai!"

"This is no comfort. Because Xiao Li, you are... a genius who works hard!"

Xiao Li stopped, holding the wooden stake with both hands, his body trembling:"You are not lying to me! I have always believed in this. I believed that one could surpass genius through hard work. I believed that as long as you put in two or three times more effort than Neji, you could become stronger. But now I have doubts...will hard work really pay off? To figure this out, I challenged Neji every week, but the result was the same every time, my attacks didn't work at all on Neji.

The same goes for missions, I still tremble with fear when facing the enemy... Is it possible that no matter how hard I try, this is the only way I can do it? I'm really scared! Teacher Kai, what should I do?"

This is also the first time that Kai heard the true words from Xiao Li's heart. He felt a little sorry for his disciple, but after feeling sad, he became serious.

"For those who have lost confidence in themselves, there is no point in trying hard!"

"Teacher Kai……"

Kai walked to Xiao Li and the two sat down.

"Xiao Li, we are very similar. When I was your age, I was also holding back... But now, in the duel with the genius Kakashi, I still win more than I lose!

To 'prove that you can become a great ninja even if you don't know ninjutsu and genjutsu', isn't this your nindo? Xiao Li, this dream is great and worth all your efforts!"

"……"

"Just work hard and continue to make strides on the path you believe in! Become a man who is powerful enough to make me watch with a smile! Understand? Xiao Li!

Xiao Li nodded with tears in his eyes:"Understood!""

"Keep up the good work, Xiao Li! Soon, I will teach you some new moves, but only if your physical fitness reaches the standard first!"

"yes!"

……

The night is getting deeper.

Xiao Li was still training. After Kai said goodbye to him, he walked for a while and stopped.

"Come out, Neji."

Neji walked out from behind a tree.

Kai looked at him and smiled:"It's not a good habit to eavesdrop on others!"

Ningji thought to himself: That's right, except for famous scenes!

"Teacher Kai, don’t you think Xiao Li shouldn’t target me?"Ningji said,"The goal of your efforts should be to surpass yourself. Every day you are stronger than you were yesterday. This is the meaning of hard work.

Kai laughed:"Ningji, you are indeed much more mature than Xiao Li!" But now Xiao Li, he didn’t expect as much as you said. Now he has a goal to chase, which is a good thing for him and can maximize his potential!"

Ningci frowned slightly. He didn't quite agree with this statement. But it's the teacher who decides how to teach his disciples. Since Teacher Kai thinks so, he won't say anything more.

"Neji, I understand what you're thinking. But I understand Xiao Li better than you, because he and I have a similar past. At that time, I also had the motivation to persevere because I targeted the genius Kakashi."

"I see"

"But Neji, you do have a lot of ideas, which is good. Did you see me during the last mission?"

"No need to ask, Teacher Kai, I was rolling my eyes at that time.

Kai grinned:"That's right!""

At that time, when Neji and the other three were fighting against the rebellious ninja, Kai was actually hiding not far away and watching the battle.

Kai had already eliminated the ninjas in the woods, so the reason why he didn't appear immediately to help the three of them get rid of the rebellious ninja was, He wanted to see how the squad he led performed in actual combat.

There was no need to worry about any life-threatening danger. If there was one, he would naturally come to the rescue as soon as possible. And the result was even better than he expected.

The best performer was naturally Neji. , almost single-handedly fought with a chuunin, and successfully blocked the flow of chakra in the right arm of the rebel ninja with soft fists and acupuncture points. This has almost determined the outcome of the battle.

Unless you are good at taijutsu Ninjas, or ninjas who can form seals with one hand, or ninjas with special blood inheritance boundaries. Otherwise, the vast majority of ordinary ninjas will already be at an absolute disadvantage when they are unable to use ninjutsu, and there is almost no possibility of a comeback.

Moreover, Kai also noticed that Neji specifically attacked the right arm of the Sand Ninja. Because the Ninja's right eye was wrapped in black cloth and his vision was restricted, it would undoubtedly be easier to attack from the right... This kind of small detail is still important in high-risk battles. It is very rare to notice that for a genin like Neji who just graduated recently, he has proven to have extremely calm judgment ability. For a genin who just graduated three months ago, Neji has been able to do this. Kai was very surprised.

During this process, Neji had discovered Kai a long time ago, but he didn't tell him. It was also because he wanted to discover some of his own problems through actual combat.

His goal was achieved, and the problem was indeed discovered.

"Neji, you are indeed a genius, and your future will definitely be limitless!"

Facing praise, Ningji shook his head:"Teacher, I'm still far away. I hope you can teach me more special physical skills"

"……"

"In terms of effort, I may not be as good as Xiao Li, but it’s not too far behind."

Ningji is not exaggerating this sentence.

Xiao Li is practicing extra in the forest and training ground every night. But he is also practicing extra, but in his own home.

One can be seen by others, and the other is only known to him..

Kai looked at Ningji who looked serious and sighed in his heart.

"Neji, I know you are eager to become stronger, and I will treat you all equally. But I want to remind you first that Xiao Li may learn what I teach, but you are likely to fail!"

"why is that?"

"Because of your family’s taijutsu—Hyuuga Ryuu Fist. Ningci was very puzzled:"

What does this have to do with Rou Fist?"

Kai shook his head and said,"Of course it does." What I will teach you in the future is steel fist physical skills. Steel boxing and soft boxing are two ways of exerting force. If you want to learn steel boxing, it will definitely conflict with your soft boxing habit. If you have been learning Rouquan since you were a child, many of your habits cannot be changed, so you are likely to fail!"
