Suddenly, Lady Tsunade's voice came from afar, "Alright, stop. There's no point in continuing this fight."
"But, Lady Tsunade, I still have a special move I haven't used yet."
Naruto gestured repeatedly; he had been preparing to catch Kakashi off guard with a Rasengan.
Tsunade's figure appeared beside them, "Don't worry, I've found a new opponent for you."
As she spoke, Tsunade looked into the distance, "Come out!"
"Whoosh—"
The figures of Kenta and Yui appeared in the arena.
"Ah! It's Kenta-senpai and Yui-senpai! It's really been a long time!"
"Indeed, it has been a long time. You've grown a lot taller."
Naruto grinned proudly at this. Apart from the increase in his strength, his height was what satisfied him most over the past two years.
He used to be called a shrimp often, which made him very angry. Now that he had grown taller, no one could call him a shrimp anymore.
"Alright, the four of you will spar. There's no need for bells or anything like that; just show me everything you've learned."
"Don't worry, Lady Tsunade."
Naruto said, flexing his muscles, and stated with full confidence, "This time, I definitely won't lose."
"As long as you're confident. Now, let the spar begin."
Tsunade finished speaking and vanished from the spot.
Returning to the back, Tsunade looked at Aoki Yoru and Kakashi and asked, "As their teacher and teammate, how do you think the match will go?"
Kakashi closed his textbook upon hearing this and carefully put it away. This was Jiraiya's latest work, gifted to him by Naruto.
"It should be Yui and Kenta."
Although he was their teacher, Kakashi had never fully grasped the true strength of his disciples; they were simply too good at hiding it.
He was also very curious about their strength now. As for Aoki Yoru, Kakashi felt that he had already gone very far, even further than himself.
Tsunade glanced at Kakashi with surprise. Although she knew Kenta and Yui were strong, once an average Ninja reached Jonin level, their strength often stagnated for a long time.
If their talent was average, that level would be their peak, with at most some growth in combat experience.
A classic example was Asuma, whose strength had stagnated for seven or eight years, with only slight increases in combat experience.
As Sakura's teacher, she knew how rapidly Sakura's strength had grown over the past two years; even Asuma would be finished if he accidentally took a punch.
Someone like Kurenai Yuhi, who barely became a Jonin, would hardly be an opponent.
Without reservation, she could say that Sakura had Kage-level potential, as her strength growth had not yet plateaued.
She had already initially completed the Strength of a Hundred Seal. Give her another year or two, and Sakura might be half a step into the Kage level.
She hadn't expected Kakashi to so decisively believe that Kenta and Yui would win.
Although she acknowledged Yui's talent, it was in medical Ninjutsu, and that young girl had already carved out her own path.
However, compared to combat ability, she was only two years older than Sakura, so the gap shouldn't be that large, right?
Sakura had grown up under her hands-on guidance, whereas Yui had been exploring on her own.
She then turned to look at Aoki Yoru, "What do you think?"
Aoki Yoru rubbed his chin, looking as if he were watching a show, "I'm with Kakashi-sensei on this."
Truth be told, he didn't know how strong his two teammates were now, as they hadn't been on missions together for the past two years.
Usually, they just met up occasionally to exchange insights.
However, based on his understanding of his two teammates, they certainly wouldn't have stood still these past two years.
He wasn't sure what level of strength they had reached, but it was certain they were stronger than Naruto and Sakura.
Tsunade said in surprise, "Oh? You two are quite confident."
She then watched the four people facing off with great interest; now, she was becoming increasingly curious about their strength.
In the arena.
Sakura looked at Yui with a serious expression, "Yui-senpai, I look forward to our spar."
She didn't dare to underestimate this person. Lady Tsunade had said that Yui-senpai's talent for medical Ninjutsu was no less than hers, and she had already carved out her own path.
She was very unconvinced and had always been competing to determine who was better. After all, she was the disciple of the Ninja World's number one medical Ninja; how could she embarrass her teacher?
"I look forward to our spar!"
Yui said, assuming a combat stance.
At this moment, Kenta said, "Naruto, this is Yui's battlefield. Let's move a bit further away."
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot.
Naruto hurriedly followed.
The arena instantly fell silent, with only the wind sweeping sand and gravel across the ground, making faint rustling sounds.
Sakura took a deep breath, focusing all her Chakra into her right fist. A pale green light of Chakra flickered faintly on her fist.
She pushed off the ground with force, her figure darting out like an arrow released from a bow. She instantly appeared in front of Yui, bringing her fist, condensed with her Super Strength Punch, crashing down towards Yui with a whistling sound that tore through the air.
Yui's eyes narrowed as she instantly poured Chakra into her right fist, meeting Sakura's fist with a fierce collision.
"Boom—!"
The deafening sound of the two fists colliding made the training ground tremble slightly, and the violent shockwave instantly kicked up a sky full of yellow sand.
"What?"
Sakura's pupils constricted. This was a Super Strength Punch; how could she know it?
Aoki Yoru said in surprise, "Lady Tsunade, did you teach Yui the Super Strength Punch?"
Tsunade shook her head in shock, "I have never taught her."
"Is that so? Then she must have figured it out on her own."
Aoki Yoru rubbed his chin. He recalled that after the Chunin Exams, Kakashi was taken down by a single look from Itachi, then he took him to Tanzaku Town to find Tsunade, where they were given a lesson.
At that time, he had proudly shared his gains with his two teammates, including his hypothesis about the Super Strength Punch.
She must have remembered it then and figured it out on her own during her spare time.
"Oh! I didn't expect this young girl to be unexpectedly outstanding."
Jiraiya also guessed it, revealing an appreciative look. The more geniuses Konoha had, the better.
Even Kakashi, who was on the side, revealed his Sharingan, observing carefully.
At this moment, the two in the arena had completely entered a white-hot battle.
Sakura and Yui no longer held anything back. The afterimages of their Body Flicker Technique flashed across the arena, and each disappearance was accompanied by the thunderous collision of their Super Strength Punches.
"Boom! Bang!"
The aftermath of the two fists colliding exploded outward with them at the center. The ground beneath their feet constantly collapsed and cracked, forming huge pits instantly, while broken stones and clods of earth were sent flying by the violent shockwave.
Trees not far away were swept by the aftermath; their trunks snapped upon impact, and branches and leaves scattered like they had been shredded by a gale. Even the air vibrated violently due to these successive impacts.
Suddenly, Sakura's Chakra volume surged strangely. Leveraging this explosive power, she slammed her fist hard against Yui's.
"Boom!"
After a loud bang, Yui felt an irresistible force surge through her. Her entire body felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and she flew backward uncontrollably, crashing heavily onto the sandy ground a dozen meters away, kicking up a cloud of yellow sand.
