Shamu quickly flew to the training grounds.
Sure enough, Sasuke, Kimimaro, and Haku were there.
For the past two years, the three of them had been carrying out missions as a team.
They had developed considerable coordination and always moved together.
When Shamu arrived at the training grounds, Sasuke was practicing with concealed weapons. Under Itachi's guidance, Sasuke had become exceptionally skilled with them.
Aside from making them collide to alter their trajectories, Sasuke had incorporated steel wires into his use of concealed weapons.
Those steel wires were used to restrict and bind enemies.
Combined with his secret Lightning Release techniques, they were tremendously lethal.
He could usually defeat an enemy in a single move.
Haku had always worked hard at training his Ice Release, and he had now become a qualified artillery mage.
Under Shamu's instruction, Haku had turned Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals into a mobile firing platform, allowing him to make short-distance jumps and change positions at any time.
Safety was the priority.
Kimimaro, meanwhile, was a berserker in heavy armor.
As Kimimaro grew, he became able to manipulate his bones with greater freedom.
Shamu had told Kimimaro to use his imagination and extend his bones directly into an exoskeleton.
Kimimaro now wore a bony faceplate extending from his skull. A V-shaped slit in it ensured that he could see.

The hardest thing on Kimimaro's body was his skeleton.
With his bones exposed on the outside, their defense was far greater than that of ordinary armor.
Combined with the bones that could suddenly burst through his body at random, he was an assault specialist exceptionally adept at
