Chapter 20 The upcoming big collision!
Konoha Training Ground No. 22.
On this day, Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto arrived at the training ground early.
About ten minutes after they arrived, Yuhi Shinwa appeared beside them with a Body Flicker Technique.
"Yuhi-sensei!"
Seeing Yuhi Shinwa arrive, Fujiwara Tetsuya's spirits lifted, and he and Uchiha Mikoto quickly went to greet him.
"You two are here! It seems you're ready!"
Yuhi Shinwa's gaze lingered on Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto for a moment, and after confirming their condition, he nodded slightly.
"Yuhi-sensei! Don't worry! We're ready!"
"Alright!"
"Earth Release: Earth Clone Jutsu."
Yuhi Shinwa's Clone Technique was undoubtedly more profound than Fujiwara Tetsuya's Water Clone Technique.
Coupled with the powerful Genjutsu of the Yuhi Clan, it made it difficult for Fujiwara Tetsuya to distinguish which was the main body and which was the clone.
"Alright! Stop staring! I'm the main body!"
"Mikoto, you go with the clone!"
"Taijutsu and Ninjutsu! What you've mastered so far is enough. For the next period, I will intensify your Genjutsu training."
"Genjutsu of the Yuhi Clan?"
When it comes to mastery of Genjutsu,
the Uchiha Clan is undoubtedly the best in all of Konoha, and even the entire Land of Fire.
But this does not mean that the Uchiha Clan looks down on other Genjutsu.
Facing the Genjutsu of the Yuhi Clan and the Kurama Clan's Genjutsu, which manipulates the five senses, even the Uchiha Clan maintains a high level of vigilance.
"Tetsuya!"
"You know, I'm not skilled in Water Release and Lightning Release Ninjutsu!"
"Besides, in my opinion, the Ninjutsu you currently possess is already sufficient!"
"For the next period, I will intensify your training in Taijutsu and Swordsmanship!"
Watching Uchiha Mikoto's retreating figure, Yuhi Shinwa withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Yuhi-sensei!"
The Yuhi Clan's Genjutsu!
Fujiwara Tetsuya was naturally envious of it!
However, Fujiwara Tetsuya knew that he was different from Uchiha Mikoto.
His Genjutsu foundation was basically blank, and even if he learned it, it would probably take a considerable amount of time to apply it in actual combat.
Swordsmanship it is then!
Even the common Konoha-Style Swordsmanship could provide him with a lot of benefits right now.
While Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto were undergoing intensive training with Yuhi Shinwa,
Konoha Village gradually saw an increase in unfamiliar faces.
"This is Konoha?"
"Compared to Hidden Sand Village, it is indeed much wealthier."
After strict scrutiny, four Sand Ninja squads, led by several Sand Jonin, entered Konoha Village.
The bustling scene on both sides of the street immediately attracted the attention of most people.
"What's so strange about that! The Land of Fire occupies the richest part of the Ninja World, with fertile soil and prosperous people. With the support of the entire Land of Fire, it's not surprising that it has developed to its current state."
"If my Sunagakure could occupy such fertile land, it would do even better than Konoha!"
The speaker was a boy of thirteen or fourteen.
His face was resolute, and his brows revealed a heroic spirit.
Even from a distance, one could feel the boy's extraordinary nature.
"As expected of Rasa! He knows so much!"
Admiration from a girl immediately resounded around them!
However, this tone, tinged with affection, immediately made Rasa's face flush.
"Karura."
"This is just common knowledge!"
Looking at the blonde girl beside him, Rasa's eyes shifted slightly, revealing a hint of almost imperceptible tenderness.
"Let's go! This is not the place to talk!"
The conversation between Rasa and Karura attracted the attention of many Konoha residents.
Seeing more and more people gathering around, the Sunagakure group quickly moved forward, led by their Sand Jonin leader.
In Konoha!
Foreign merchants were not uncommon!
But Ninja from the Five Great Nations were rare.
"Sand Ninja?"
"It seems the Sand Ninja are restless too!"
"I can feel that the kid named Rasa is extraordinarily strong!"
Under the shade of a tree not far away, three Hidden Cloud Village squads were present. A tall and sturdy young man was gazing in the direction where the Hidden Sand Village group had left, and a strong interest seemed to arise in the depths of his eyes.
"Ay! This is also why the Sandaime didn't hesitate to lower your Ninja rank to have you come!"
"The Ninja World has been peaceful for too long! Not to mention the Five Great Nations, even Hidden Rain Village and Takigakure are showing signs of rising!"
"For my Kumogakure to gain an advantage in the future, we must ascertain the strength of the other Ninja Villages."
It was a good thing Fujiwara Tetsuya wasn't here!
Otherwise, upon seeing Rasa and Ay, he would probably have backed out!
The future Fourth Kazekage and Fourth Raikage!
This Chunin Exams was definitely not as simple as a game.
"I know!"
"Besides ascertaining the strength of the younger generation of various Ninja Villages, the more important thing is to flex our muscles, to show the strength of my Kumogakure, right?"
"Exactly! Ay, it's excellent that you understand this point!"
"I hope this Chunin Exams, besides that kid from Hidden Sand Village just now, will have other interesting guys! Otherwise, this Chunin Exams will be too dull."
...To prevent the Ninja from various villages from getting involved in unrelated skirmishes before the Chunin Exams due to inter-village relations,
the Konoha Higher-Ups, led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, also put in a great deal of effort.
They arranged the Ninja from various small Ninja Villages in over a dozen houses within Konoha.
At the same time, a large number of Anbu and Military Police Force personnel were dispatched to patrol between these houses.
What was destined to come, would come eventually.
Half a month passed in a flash, and the grand Chunin Exams arrived as scheduled.
"Tetsuya!"
Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi clan grounds.
Tanaka Jiro, Fujiwara Sachiko, and many other clan members from the three clans stopped at the courtyard gate, their gazes at Fujiwara Tetsuya filled with anticipation.
"Everyone! Don't worry, I will definitely pass the Chunin Exams and become the new Chunin of my Fujiwara, Tanaka, and Uesugi Families."
Meeting everyone's gaze, Fujiwara Tetsuya adjusted his forehead protector, his eyes filled with determination.
"Brother Tetsuya, we believe in you, you can definitely pass the Chunin Exams!"
"Go, Brother Tetsuya, you are the genius of our Fujiwara Family!"
Fujiwara Tetsuya's determination infected many children from the three clans.
For a moment, many childish voices of boys and girls echoed around.
"Tetsuya, it's time to go!"
At the end of the road, two figures had appeared at some point.
It was Uchiha Mikoto and Aburame Mokujin.
Yuhi Shinwa had been assigned other tasks!
He had informed them yesterday that he would not easily appear in their sight for at least these two days.
