"Clang! Clang!!!"
The clash of kunai rang out continuously. Under the siege of the two, Shisui could only struggle to hold on.
Leaving aside strength and combat experience, since the opponents were in a patrol squad, they naturally coordinated well, pushing Shisui back step by step.
Shisui managed to hold on, not revealing any major flaws, which was already quite remarkable.
His combat experience was insufficient, his chakra application was not up to par, and his basic taijutsu training was lacking. As for ninjutsu, Rong Lin didn't want to comment. What kind of ninjutsu could you expect a five or six-year-old child to use?
Even if he could use it, would he have the opportunity?
Constantly caught in a pincer attack, even if Shisui had learned some offensive ninjutsu, he needed a chance to use them.
"Swish~~~"
Shisui made a "four nine zero" mistake, and the opponent seized the opportunity. Blood splattered as a ten-centimeter long wound appeared on Shisui's arm. The sharp kunai had directly cut through Shisui's clothes and skin, and blood oozed from the wound.
Shisui groaned, retreated quickly, and clutched the wound on his arm, showing no panic.
He knew that if he panicked at this moment, it would only lead to a one-sided battle. However, with his arm injured, it meant one arm was practically Waste, and the upcoming battle would become even more difficult for Shisui.
Shisui was wounded. Rong Lin raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
"He's injured, let's speed up and finish him!"
Seeing Shisui injured, the two became even more excited.
Damn it, how could I be so careless as to get injured? Now the battle is getting harder and harder.
Being injured meant slower movements and weakened combat power.
Sure enough, after only two rounds, Shisui showed signs of defeat. Rong Lin glanced at Black Scale, who understood, opened its massive maw, and charged forward.
The two Hidden Stone Genin, who were diligently besieging Shisui, were startled. Their expressions changed drastically, and they roared:
"Uchiha Rong Lin! You're breaking your word!!!"
"I keep my word. I didn't make a move against you. I was willing to let you go, but whether my little pet is willing or not has nothing to do with me. How about you discuss it with it? Maybe it will let you go if it's in a good mood?"
Rong Lin said with a smile.
Bullshit! Without your command, would this big snake dare to attack casually?
The two almost choked with anger, but they no longer had the presence of mind to curse. "Ah!!!"
Black Scale's speed was so great that even a Tokubetsu Jonin might not have been able to dodge it. The result of Black Scale's action was the two letting out a scream and becoming Black Scale's snack.
With Rong Lin's approval, everyone in this patrol squad became Black Scale's midnight snack. Well, it was a bit of a late-night treat, and the quantity settled the score.
What did keeping one's word mean? Rong Lin didn't understand. He only knew that being merciful to enemies was being cruel to oneself. As for whether he was breaking his word, Rong Lin didn't care. Why keep promises to enemies?
"Bandage it up. From now on, everything will start from the basics."
Throwing medical supplies in front of Shisui, Rong Lin stroked his chin and said:
"I thought your fundamentals were good, but now they seem very poor, a far cry from what I imagined."
"I'm sorry, my lord, I disappoint you."
Cold sweat appeared on Shisui's forehead, and blood continued to seep from the wound on his arm. The heavy blood loss made his face appear somewhat pale.
"It has nothing to do with you. Perhaps my expectations for you were too high."
Shaking his head, Rong Lin didn't blame Shisui. In this situation, no matter who it was, they wouldn't necessarily do better than Shisui. Not everyone was Uchiha Itachi, who could fight on the battlefield at the age of four, killing people without batting an eye.
Compared to Itachi, Shisui was not much worse. He was also a genius of the Uchiha clan. What Shisui lacked was proper training and a teacher's guidance. From this, one could see the importance of a teacher.
For example, Kakashi, under his father's teaching from a young age, could take down one or two genin at Shisui's age. Unfortunately, Shisui couldn't. He hadn't received targeted training, and his combat experience was limited. These were all his shortcomings.
"My lord!!!"
Shisui's expression changed. Ignoring his injured arm, he stood up anxiously. Rong Lin's words made him uneasy, worried that his performance would disappoint Rong Lin, and that Rong Lin would make him leave...
"Don't worry. Bandage your wound. After you recover, follow me and train hard. I believe you will become stronger."
Knowing that Shisui had misunderstood his meaning, Rong Lin patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to panic.
"Hey, hey~~~"
Mhm, mhm, mhm.
"Ah!!!"
Rong Lin didn't mean for him to leave, and Shisui immediately gave a dry laugh, wanting to raise his hand to scratch his head, but unexpectedly pulled on his wound, immediately letting out a cry of surprise, his face turning even paler.
Rong Lin looked at Shisui, who was clutching his arm and crying out, and said with amusement, "Hurry up and bandage it, otherwise you'll faint soon."
"Yes!!"
Shisui fumbled to bandage his wound. Fortunately, Rong Lin always carried such items with him, allowing for immediate wound treatment. However, for deep treatment, they would need to return to the village to find a doctor.
While Shisui bandaged his wound, Rong Lin did not help, letting him complete it on his own.
The previous village was no longer suitable for them to stay. Rong Lin took Shisui and left for the next village.
Three months passed in a blink of an eye. On the way to Konohagakure, Rong Lin and Shisui walked slowly, one after the other.
After three months, Shisui's impulsiveness had vanished, replaced by an invisible resilience. Although his body was covered in many hideous scars, Shisui's aura had grown much stronger.
"Oh, I really didn't expect it. Danzo would suffer such a defeat."
"Yes, the village's losses will be significant this time."
Many pedestrians came and went on the road. Some walked while discussing, and Rong Lin heard all their words.
It was truly unbelievable.
After asking around, Shisui gave Rong Lin explosive news: the Konohagakure ninja army on the front lines was ambushed by the Hidden Sand Village, suffering heavy losses.
Even Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, was seriously injured, having been ambushed by a Kage-level expert from the Hidden Sand Village. This battle forced Konohagakure to retreat dozens of miles to prevent enemy pursuit...
