Chapter 37 The smile on the girl's lips
"Water Fang Bullet?", "Is that a new Ninjutsu?"
Two Rank B Ninjutsu in a row made the atmosphere in the arena even more heated.
However, for the many Genin watching the battle, a sense of caution secretly arose within them.
It seemed Fujiwara Tetsuya had already anticipated that they would deliberately avoid the threat of Chidori.
He had specifically enhanced his offensive capabilities.
"Tetsuya! You've already reached this level?"
On the west stands, in an inconspicuous corner!
Tanaka Jiro, Fujiwara Sachiko, Uesugi Yusuke, and Tanaka Rina were huddled together, watching the scene in the arena with eyes full of shock.
Especially Tanaka Jiro, as a former Chunin.
He understood even more clearly the extent of the strength Fujiwara Tetsuya was now displaying.
His mastery of Ninjutsu had far surpassed all the Ninjutsu he had been able to master during his Chunin period.
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave"
A stream of water, as thick as a shoulder, under the enhancement of Chakra, tore through everything in its path like a super high-pressure jet.
Since it was the finale!
It naturally had to be more spectacular!
"This… This is a Rank A Ninjutsu!!"
The visual impact was immense!
It not only attracted many spectators, but even the Konoha Chunin and Jonin guarding the surroundings couldn't help but cast solemn, envious glances.
To be able to master a Rank A Water Release Ninjutsu at such a young age!
He was definitely worthy of the title of genius.
"Hiruzen!"
Watching the approaching stream of water nearing Torune Ryoui, Utatane Koharu could no longer sit still!
Ignoring everyone's gazes, she went directly to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The Torifu Clan, although a Shinobi Clan!
At its core, it had only begun to rise in the last decade or so.
Any clan member with the potential to become a Jonin was a treasure in the hands of the Torifu Clan.
"Koharu, don't worry!"
"Orochimaru is down there, and besides, Fujiwara Tetsuya is not a reckless kid!"
After appeasing his old friend!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze towards Fujiwara Tetsuya also carried a hint of admiration.
Water Release advanced Ninjutsu, Water Severing Wave!
And according to Orochimaru, Lightning Release: Chidori, which possessed Rank A advanced level!
He truly was an extraordinary kid!
As for Tanaka Jiro and the others, after witnessing this scene, they all became stunned.
As if they had seen something beyond imagination!
"Stop! Stop! I surrender! I surrender!"
The sharp stream of water pulverized all the trees and mounds in the arena.
Watching the gradually approaching water stream, Torune Ryoui whimpered and shed a few tears.
Fujiwara Tetsuya's bold fighting style had clearly thoroughly frightened this adorable girl.
"It seems I've won!"
Upon hearing Torune Ryoui's voice, Fujiwara Tetsuya immediately dispersed the Ninjutsu, and with a Body Flicker Technique, appeared directly beside Torune Ryoui.
Looking at Fujiwara Tetsuya's gentle face, Torune Ryoui felt no warmth at all; instead, she shivered.
Her body continuously shrank backward.
"What, are you going to keep sitting on the ground?"
"If you keep dawdling like this, your clothes will get ruined."
His grievances with the Torifu Clan!
That was a matter between adults; how could it involve such an adorable girl?
Moreover, to maintain the necessary image, some things that needed to be done still had to be done.
Hesitated for a few seconds!
Torune Ryoui timidly took Fujiwara Tetsuya's outstretched right hand and stood up, trembling.
"Fujiwara Tetsuya!"
"Fujiwara Tetsuya!!!"
He had a delicate appearance, outstanding talent, a superb mastery of Water Release, and also a hint of gentlemanly elegance.
One positive label after another!
Immediately pushed Fujiwara Tetsuya's popularity to its peak.
Although, in the continuous cheers, women accounted for the vast majority.
"Let's go! We should make way!"
As Orochimaru announced the results with a hoarse laugh.
Torune Ryoui was still in a daze.
Facing Fujiwara Tetsuya, she had clearly lost the courage to resist!
She allowed Fujiwara Tetsuya to lead her by the hand towards the exit.
It wasn't until Torifu Takuno appeared that Torune Ryoui, as if realizing it belatedly, quickly pulled her hand away!
"Kid! Your strength and talent are indeed outstanding!"
"But you will definitely regret today's events!"
In front of so many Ninja, and with Yuhi Shinwa's endorsement.
When facing Fujiwara Tetsuya, Torifu Takuno could only try his best to control his impulses, coldly throwing down two uncultured remarks, then turned and left the arena with Torune Ryoui.
"Kid! Was Torune Ryoui's hand soft?"
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya was looking at Torune Ryoui's disappearing back, savoring the distinctly different feel of her hand.
Uchiha Mikoto appeared beside Fujiwara Tetsuya at some point, an invisible pressure emanating from her calm gaze.
"Mikoto!"
"What are you talking about? What hand or no hand!"
"I only did that just now to annoy the Torifu Clan and create a persona!"
Looking at the approaching face, Fujiwara Tetsuya jolted.
Uchiha Mikoto's actions had truly exceeded his expectations.
"If that's the case, then it's for the best!"
"But I still want to congratulate you! Tetsuya, congratulations on making it to the quarterfinals!"
Seeing Fujiwara Tetsuya's overly startled expression, the cool girl couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.
Like a blooming crabapple, pure and gentle.
For a moment, it almost made Fujiwara Tetsuya stare blankly.
"Mikoto! You smiled!"
"You finally smiled!"
He stared for thirteen seconds.
Until Uchiha Mikoto hit the back of Fujiwara Tetsuya's head.
Only then did Fujiwara Tetsuya, as if in a dream, return to reality.
This was probably the first time he had witnessed Uchiha Mikoto's smile since that day at the Fujiwara, Tanaka, and Uesugi clan grounds.
[Yo! Pure-hearted host! Congratulations, host, on completing the temporary mission: "Save the Girl in Hatred"! Through the host's unremitting efforts, after witnessing the host's heroic figure many times, Uchiha Mikoto has regarded the host as a new bond, seeing a faint glimmer of light in the abyss of hatred!]
[Temporary mission settlement in progress…]
[Congratulations, host, on acquiring Rank A Ninjutsu, Water Release: Water Mirror Technique, and 500 Kill Points!]
Hearing the voice suddenly coming from his mind, Fujiwara Tetsuya's moving footsteps immediately stopped.
This! The mission was completed?
Shouldn't this mission be a 'conquest' type?
He was still hesitant earlier!
He didn't expect it to be completed just like that!
Could it be that Uchiha Mikoto, like other love-struck girls, admired the strong?
Unconsciously, Fujiwara Tetsuya took a deep breath.
He always felt that Uchiha Mikoto's girlish attributes were more complex than he imagined.
However!
These things were not something he could figure out or fully understand in a short time.
Everything would have to wait until later!
