"Alright, it's fine. This is a good chance to see if these old bones of mine can still move."
Arisu smiled at them, speaking in a relaxed and calm tone.
Seeing that his teacher insisted, Minato Namikaze could only nod. "Then I'll leave it to you, Teacher."
Arisu looked at Minato and added, "By the way, Minato, Karin and Jugo are also my students. Karin is from the Uzumaki Clan, so you probably already sensed that. As for Jugo, he was born with a Sage Transformation body."
Minato's eyes lit up slightly when he heard that. He immediately nodded with a serious expression.
"Don't worry. I'll make the proper arrangements for them. Konoha will always be a friend of the Uzumaki Clan. That will never change."
After everything was settled, Arisu took Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura Haruno out of the Hokage Building and headed straight to a wide open area outside Konoha.
The ground there was flat, with no buildings nearby, making it the perfect place to test high-level combat.
Reaching the center of the field, Arisu stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes swept across his three students, a faint smile on his face.
Over the years, Tsunade had watched Arisu keep taking in students. Refusing to lose to him, she had boldly accepted Sakura Haruno as her own disciple.
After years of hard training in medical ninjutsu and monstrous strength, Sakura had finally mastered the Strength of a Hundred Technique. Her strength was no longer what it used to be.
Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura stood opposite Arisu, each adjusting their condition. Fighting spirit burned in all of their eyes.
Naruto cracked his knuckles and shouted excitedly, "Come on, Grandpa Arisu! My dad and mom were both your students. I've wanted to see your strength for a long time!"
Sasuke folded his arms, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
Sakura took a deep breath. The diamond-shaped Strength of a Hundred seal gradually appeared on her forehead, and pink chakra slowly began flowing.
Looking at the three of them, Arisu casually rolled his wrist. His clear voice reached everyone's ears.
"Don't hold back. Fight with everything you've got... Let me see how much you've grown."
The chakra in the air began to surge violently.
Standing with his hands behind his back, Arisu said calmly, "Begin."
The moment he finished speaking, Naruto instantly entered Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and charged first.
"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dozens of Narutos appeared in an instant, attacking Arisu from every direction. Every clone was wrapped in golden Nine-Tails chakra, creating an overwhelming presence.
At the same time, the three tomoe in Sasuke's Sharingan spun rapidly. His figure flashed, and he disappeared with Flying Thunder God.
Sakura stomped hard, shattering the ground beneath her. Using the recoil, she leaped high into the air. Pink Strength of a Hundred chakra gathered around her right fist as she smashed it straight down at Arisu.
A three-sided attack, perfectly coordinated.
The corners of Arisu's mouth rose slightly as he formed a seal with one hand.
"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"
BOOM!
A thick earth wall instantly rose from the ground, blocking all of Naruto's shadow clones.
Then Arisu lightly stepped back half a pace, avoiding Sakura's powerful punch. At the same time, he swung his left hand backward.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
Arisu's Wind Style was on a completely different level from everyone else's.
He forced a Wind Style technique to produce the same effect as Shinra Tensei.
The fierce wind roared forward, blowing away several of Naruto's shadow clones. They were scattered in every direction before disappearing instantly.
"It's not over yet!"
Naruto's real body shouted as golden chakra burst out.
A compressed Tailed Beast Bomb quickly formed in his hand before he threw it fiercely at Arisu.
At the same moment, Sasuke appeared behind Arisu's side. Lightning gathered in his palm as his Chidori Sharp Spear became a dazzling purple lance that stabbed straight toward Arisu's back.
They attacked from both front and back with terrifying force.
Arisu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he remained calm.
His right hand formed seals at incredible speed.
"Water Style: Water Mirror Technique!"
A crystal-clear water mirror instantly appeared in front of him.
The Tailed Beast Bomb struck the mirror and was completely reflected, flying straight back toward Naruto.
At the same time, Arisu casually drew a line with his other hand. A thin bolt of lightning shot from his fingertip, striking the very tip of Sasuke's Chidori Sharp Spear.
Sasuke felt a gentle yet unimaginably powerful force travel through the lightning. The Chidori Sharp Spear instantly collapsed, and he was knocked backward.
"Sasuke!"
Seeing this, Sakura immediately rushed forward.
With the Strength of a Hundred Technique fully activated, she unleashed a nonstop barrage of powerful punches, each carrying enough force to split mountains and crack the earth.
Arisu stopped retreating and simply raised one palm, easily neutralizing every attack.
"Yata Sage Art!", Sasuke shouted.
Faint sage chakra appeared around him. His perception instantly increased several times over, and he released an enhanced Fire Style: Dragon Flame Technique that was several times stronger than before.
Naruto also formed hand seals, creating a Wind Style: Rasenshuriken.
Sasuke exchanged a glance with Naruto, and the two instantly came up with a plan.
Faced with their coordinated long-range attacks, Arisu finally became a little more serious.
He formed seals with both hands and shouted, "Combined Ninjutsu: Earth Dragon Flame Bullet!"
The ground split apart as blazing magma mixed with raging wind swept forward. It not only swallowed the Rasenshuriken but also forced Sasuke and Naruto to retreat at full speed.
The battle continued for more than ten minutes.
The three of them fought with everything they had. Their teamwork became smoother and smoother, and their attacks grew fiercer.
But no matter how they attacked, Arisu responded with nothing more than basic ninjutsu, yet he effortlessly dissolved every one of their techniques.
To the three of them, it felt deeply hopeless.
They couldn't understand it.
They were already far beyond normal standards.
So how were ordinary ninjutsu still stopping them?
Finally, Arisu gently waved his hand.
A soft Wind Style technique pushed all three of them back several meters at once.
"Alright. That's enough."
Looking at the three of them, who were breathing slightly harder than before, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Naruto, your control over Nine-Tails Mode has become much more refined. You've also become much faster at compressing a Tailed Beast Bomb."
"Sasuke, the coordination between your Yata Sage Art and your Sharingan is very good. Your timing with Flying Thunder God is excellent. But you should learn to transfer Tailed Beast Bombs. For example, you could teleport one onto me."
"Sakura... your control over the Strength of a Hundred Technique has improved a lot. Tsunade's efforts weren't wasted."
Standing with his hands behind his back, Arisu commented on each of them one by one.
Then he said, "Sasuke, go see your parents. They've missed you a lot over the past three years."
Sasuke froze briefly before nodding.
"Yeah. I understand."
The three looked at each other before leaving the training ground together.
Once they had completely disappeared from sight, Arisu also turned to leave.
Just then, a deep voice suddenly came from the shadows nearby.
"Dad, that wasn't your real strength, was it?"
Yukio slowly stepped out of the darkness.
He stood tall. His handsome face resembled Arisu's by about seventy percent, but his eyes were much sharper.
Arisu stopped walking and turned to look at his son. A gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Of course not."
Yukio slowly walked closer.
"Then... Father, I want to see just how strong you really are."
"Over the years, my Karma has raised me to a level that doesn't truly belong to me... What I'm even more curious about is this: since you were the one who developed Karma, just how strong have you become?"
