Through the Giant Tenseigan's far-reaching vision, Hyuga Kagami, stationed in the Aerial Fortress, also witnessed the absurd contest underway between Karin and Shion.
"These two little girls..."
With a soft chuckle, Hyuga Kagami withdrew his gaze.
Whether Karin or Shion, though both were young, immature, and inexperienced, in terms of raw strength, they had indeed reached the pinnacle of the Ninja World.
Even the Nine-Tails, the strongest of the Tailed Beasts, had no room to resist in their hands.
At this point in time, even Naruto and Sasuke, the reincarnations of those two Ōtsutsuki brothers, were likely a notch below the two girls in raw strength.
But that did not mean they would necessarily defeat Naruto and Sasuke.
If it truly came down to a fight to the death, Naruto and Sasuke, those Children of Prophecy with considerable combat talent, might not lose to them. After all, far too many factors could affect the outcome of an actual battle.
It was like how Karin and Shion could easily seal the Nine-Tails, while the Fourth Hokage could only seal it by sacrificing himself.
Yet if Karin and Shion had faced the Fourth Hokage directly, they would likely have been effortlessly dealt with by his Flying Thunder God Technique and Shadow Clone Technique before even figuring out where his real body was.
An even more extreme example was the fate of Kaguya, the Ninja World's first wielder of Kekkei Mōra.
That was why Hyuga Kagami indulged their nearly nonsensical contest using the Nine-Tails.
Rich combat experience and superb fighting techniques were not things that could be easily gained overnight. They had to be accumulated bit by bit through countless battles, reflection, and analysis.
There was no shortcut to that.
It was not something one could instantly obtain by transplanting or awakening something.
