He'd been away for a week, and hadn't spent enough time with Keiji recently. He needed to see how much his student had improved through his own training and mission experiences. It would also be a good time to test himself and what it was that he was capable of, and remind anyone who cared to watch exactly why it was that people didn't attempt to assault him.
His life had been nearly taken from him in Fire Country, but that had only made him stronger. His Cursed Seals were all mastered now, full control over all the cursed seals that he was aware existed. His body had transformed to contain the additional power they granted, the red hair and eyes a way for the seal's latent power to remove the excess without destroying his body from the inside out.
Another he'd invited to the arena was a female mednin by the name of Kitsune. She'd been a mednin as long as Kushin could remember, she didn't age and only recently had she decided to start putting her foot forward for a higher position. He couldn't have his mednin chiefs be able to retain their positions if they couldn't also do something in combat. This was a shinobi village, and as beneficial knowledge and hard work towards the medical branch was there would come a time when they would need to lead squads in combat.
He walked out into the Colosseum, it had been set up similar to the terrain in the mainland of Lightning Country. Grass, rivers, trees. Plenty of places to hide, plenty of everything to use. Now he just had to wait for those who would be tested.
