Chapter 11 Carrying the Glory of the Fujiwara Clan
"Whoosh!"
As the dense fog was about to dissipate, three kunai, glinting with cold light, cut through countless raindrops and shot straight towards Uchiha Mikoto's face.
"Clink!"
The moment Uchiha Mikoto blocked the first kunai, the second one followed closely. Although the trajectory of the kunai was clearly observed by her Sharingan, it still grazed Uchiha Mikoto's cheek, and a few strands of hair fell into the muddy water with the whistling sound of the kunai.
When Uchiha Mikoto tried to knock down the third kunai, the second kunai, for some unknown reason, circled halfway around before directly attacking Uchiha Mikoto's fair and smooth neck.
"Body Flicker Technique, huh!"
The mist cleared, and Fujiwara Tetsuya stepped forward, looking at where the two kunai had fallen, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
The Sharingan's insight was simply a cheat.
Even though he deliberately tried to confuse Uchiha Mikoto's vision, at the critical moment, the Uchiha Clan girl still detected it and dodged.
Uchiha Mikoto appeared behind Fujiwara Tetsuya at some unknown point. The kunai that left her hand and flew towards Fujiwara Tetsuya was timely blocked by the short katana in Fujiwara Tetsuya's hand.
However, Fujiwara Tetsuya was also forced to slide back two or three meters by this sudden attack before stopping.
"Was it steel wire?"
Looking at the kid five or six years younger than him, Uchiha Mikoto's eyes showed a hint of fluctuation.
"That's right! It was indeed steel wire!"
Since their meeting, Fujiwara Tetsuya finally managed to speak with Uchiha Mikoto.
Listening to the girl's clear and cold voice, Fujiwara Tetsuya felt his will begin to waver slightly.
"A good idea, but the speed is still too slow!"
"And, kid! You're too close to me!"
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"
Under Fujiwara Tetsuya's terrified gaze, several fireballs continuously approached Fujiwara Tetsuya. The moment the fireballs exploded, more than a dozen shuriken mercilessly tore through Fujiwara Tetsuya's thin body.
"It's over!"
In Uchiha Mikoto's confident gaze, Fujiwara Tetsuya, who had just suffered successive attacks, suddenly turned into a puddle of water and merged into the muddy water beneath his feet.
"Water Clone! When did that happen!"
Two kunai were held horizontally in front of her. At this moment, Uchiha Mikoto's eyes were constantly spinning wildly, and her footsteps were also continuously moving.
She scanned the surrounding trees and jungle, every place where Fujiwara Tetsuya might be hiding.
"Mikoto Genin! I'm here!"
Just as Uchiha Mikoto was about to lose patience and began to search for suspicious points one by one, Fujiwara Tetsuya, holding a mottled kunai, stepped through the rain.
"Fujiwara Tetsuya! What tricks are you playing now!"
Seeing Fujiwara Tetsuya's seemingly surrendering posture, Uchiha Mikoto secretly became vigilant.
This kid was not like those little brats full of make-believe games that she met when she was in the first year of the Ninja Academy.
He possessed strength and combat awareness comparable to a Genin!
"No tricks!"
"I just thought that hiding like this isn't a solution! Rather than being discovered by you, a real duel would be more manly."
"So! Uchiha Mikoto Genin!"
"Please enlighten me!"
"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"
Uchiha Mikoto was still fooled by Fujiwara Tetsuya's innocent appearance.
An invisible water sphere, the moment Uchiha Mikoto retreated, plunged into Uchiha Mikoto's right leg, successfully dragging her into the Water Prison Technique.
As Fujiwara Tetsuya continuously injected Chakra with his right hand, the Water Prison Technique became increasingly solid.
"Tetsuya!"
"Have you already reached this level?"
Looking at Uchiha Mikoto in the water sphere, Sanjido Suzuko subconsciously thought that Fujiwara Tetsuya had already won.
"I knew it, you wouldn't be so honest, kid!"
Looking at the thick water walls around her, Uchiha Mikoto showed no panic. The single tomoe Sharingan in her pupils flashed a crimson light the moment it met Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes.
The tightly contracted water sphere instantly collapsed the moment Fujiwara Tetsuya withdrew his hand, turning into waves of water that thoroughly washed away the muddy puddle beneath their feet.
Only the kunai stuck in the ground remained in its original spot.
"Genjutsu?"
"The Uchiha Clan's Ninja talent in Fire Release and Genjutsu is truly terrifying."
"This kid's loss is not unwarranted!"
On the high platform, Jiraiya, looking at the stunned Fujiwara Tetsuya, pouted but still spoke a fair word with a sigh.
"Tsk tsk... Jiraiya! When will your gaze move away from women! Who told you that this kid named Fujiwara Tetsuya would definitely lose?"
"Jiraiya! Uchiha Mikoto's talent is good, but Fujiwara Tetsuya's talent is not necessarily worse!"
"Watch closely!"
The moment Orochimaru refuted Jiraiya, the moment Uchiha Mikoto reached out to grasp Fujiwara Tetsuya's throat, Fujiwara Tetsuya's body once again turned into a puddle of water and flowed through Uchiha Mikoto's fingertips.
"Water Clone, when did that happen!"
The kunai on the ground had, at some point, transformed into Fujiwara Tetsuya's appearance. While Uchiha Mikoto was pondering, he directly grabbed Uchiha Mikoto's throat.
"Transformation Technique?"
"You hateful kid!"
Feeling the constant touch of a small hand on her back, Uchiha Mikoto's eyes showed a hint of anger.
"Mikoto Genin!"
"I advise you not to turn your head!"
"I must admit, at present, I am not qualified to face those eyes directly!"
"If you move again, the kunai in my hand might leave a few ugly scars on your back!"
Smelling the scattered scent among her hair, Fujiwara Tetsuya secretly felt a jolt, and the strength in his fingers grew even greater.
At such a close distance!
If he faced the Sharingan, he would have no means of counterattack.
"Fujiwara Tetsuya!"
"I'll remember you! You won this time! But next time, I will defeat you cleanly and decisively!"
"To reclaim the honor lost today!"
After Uchiha Mikoto dropped the kunai in her hand, the monitoring Ninja announced the result immediately!
Winner!
Fujiwara Clan!
Ninja Academy first-year student, Fujiwara Tetsuya!
"Fujiwara Tetsuya!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
On the high platform, Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto knelt side by side before Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He hadn't felt it earlier when he was below!
But now, facing Hiruzen Sarutobi!
Facing Tsunade! Orochimaru! Jiraiya!
Fujiwara Tetsuya felt a sense of suffocation!
This was what a strong person was!
An absolute strong person of the Ninja World!
At this time, Tsunade! Orochimaru! Jiraiya! Even if they were far from the peak Hiruzen Sarutobi, they were definitely on the edge of the Kage level!
"Congratulations on passing the Genin exam!"
"As the Third Hokage of Konoha, I announce! Fujiwara Tetsuya, starting today, you are a Genin of Konoha!"
"I hope you bear the honor of the Fujiwara Clan!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama! I will not disappoint you!"
At some unknown moment, in Fujiwara Tetsuya's firm gaze, the wind and snow suddenly ceased, and the scorching sunlight pierced through layers of clouds, shining down on Fujiwara Tetsuya.
It was like the rebirth of life!
