Konoha Village, Senju Estate.
Paper Shuriken Technique!
More than a dozen shuriken made of white paper flew out, spinning as they shot toward Sarutobi Toru.
"Mm, not bad," Sarutobi Toru said with a smile as he caught Konan's paper shuriken. With a light rub of his hands, he suppressed the explosion triggered by the paper shuriken made from Explosive Tags.
Konan dropped onto the ground, panting, with a sulky expression on her face. "Master, you're teasing me again!"
Sarutobi Toru shook his head. "I'm not teasing you. In just two years, you've attained the raw strength of a top-tier Jōnin. Konan, your talent is among the very best in all of Konoha Village."
