Chapter 36: What ordinary people pay attention to is the gorgeous visuals!
By the time Fujiwara Tetsuya returned to Uchiha Mikoto's side, the battle between Hyuga Mamaru and Fugo was still ongoing.
However, against the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan, Fugo, who specialized in puppet Ninjutsu, was as transparent as a blank sheet of paper, with no secrets to hide.
He was inevitably at a disadvantage!
"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
A continuous barrage of palm strikes, like a sudden downpour, relentlessly struck Fugo's vital points.
In just a dozen seconds, his Chakra pathways were completely blocked.
Without Chakra support, the two remaining puppets in the arena also fell powerlessly to the ground!
The winner and loser!
It was clear for all to see!
"I surrender!"
As Fugo conceded, a deafening cheer erupted from the surrounding stands!
Lavish praises were heaped upon the Byakugan and Hyuga Mamaru.
"Tetsuya!"
Watching Fujiwara Tetsuya's retreating figure, Uchiha Mikoto hesitated for a moment before calling out to him.
"Hmm? What is it, Mikoto!"
"This shy demeanor isn't like you!"
Fujiwara Tetsuya naturally understood the girl's reticence.
He waved his hand, turned, and disappeared into the passage, heading towards the arena!
"Fujiwara Tetsuya!"
"Torune Ryoui!"
Torune Ryoui, in Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes, looked about thirteen years old, similar to Uchiha Mikoto, with a purple and white tight-fitting outfit and smooth skin.
The girl before him exuded a completely different aura from Uchiha Mikoto!
If there was a flaw! It was probably, like Uchiha Mikoto, that her chest development was rather unsatisfactory.
What a pity!
Such a cute girl was actually a member of the Torifu Clan!
Stuck with a group of greedy elders.
"Tetsuya-kun!"
"If you two are ready, you can begin immediately!"
This was probably the closest Orochimaru had ever been to Fujiwara Tetsuya!
Seeing the slight curve of Reikun's lips, Fujiwara Tetsuya felt a prickle on his scalp.
Indeed!
Thinking about it is one thing!
Actually facing it is another!
Facing a legendary figure like Orochimaru, his current confidence was still somewhat lacking.
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"
"Torune Ryoui! Please entertain me to your heart's content!"
The moment the opposition sign was formed, the two figures quickly intertwined.
As a Ninja of the Torifu Clan!
Torune Ryoui's education from a young age was far more comprehensive than that of the Ninja Academy.
In terms of Taijutsu, Kunai, and Shuriken manipulation, she was even slightly stronger than Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"You want to suppress me with close-quarters combat?"
"That's a bit too naive!"
"Konoha-Style Swordsmanship: Danku!"
The moment the short katana left its sheath, several sharp sword gleams struck the Kunai in Torune Ryoui's hands.
This also allowed Fujiwara Tetsuya to escape the close proximity with Torune Ryoui.
"For the Chunin Exams, using only Taijutsu would be too monotonous!"
The short katana in his hand drew a circle in mid-air, then was thrust horizontally in front of Fujiwara Tetsuya.
Perhaps, in the eyes of powerful Ninja.
The simpler and more efficient the method, the more attention-grabbing it is.
But!
This was not just a battlefield for Ninja to fight!
It was also an arena for the nobles and wealthy merchants of the Land of Fire, and the residents of Konoha to watch.
The bigger the spectacle!
The more attention it would attract!
It was perfect for creating a buzz!
"Ox - Monkey - Rabbit - Rat - Boar - Rooster..."
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
A colossal water dragon, amidst a roaring sound, raised its proud head.
With Fujiwara Tetsuya's full power, the commotion it created was far more oppressive than the one at the tower in Training Ground 37.
"It's a B-rank Ninjutsu, Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"What a terrifying brat, to be able to master such a high-level Ninjutsu at such a young age?"
"The Fujiwara Clan! This generation has finally produced a genius, there's hope for their revival."
Fujiwara Tetsuya's plan succeeded.
The intentionally delayed Water Dragon Bullet attracted countless gazes from all around.
Making the name Fujiwara reappear in Konoha's sight!
"Damn it! That brat from the Fujiwara Family! What exactly do you want to do!"
On a high platform not far away, the Taneji Jonin who had previously threatened Fujiwara Tetsuya looked at the commotion in the arena, his expression terrifyingly grim.
He couldn't fathom it!
Why would a seven or eight-year-old brat!
Dare to defy him, defy the will of the Torifu Clan.
"Torifu Takuno!"
At some unknown point! A powerful figure suddenly appeared beside the Torifu Clan.
The newcomer was no stranger!
It was Yuhi Shinwa!
"Yuhi Shinwa!"
Meeting Yuhi Shinwa's chilling gaze, Torifu Takuno's expression flickered.
Yuhi Shinwa's strength was not weak!
The Yuhi Clan's foundation in Konoha was also not weak!
Perhaps it was because of Fujiwara Tetsuya's matter that, when facing this veteran Jonin renowned for his Genjutsu, Torifu Takuno actually felt a hint of fear.
"Go back and tell those Old fellows of the Torifu Clan!"
"Tetsuya, he is a disciple recognized by me, Yuhi Shinwa! You are not allowed to lay a hand on him!"
"Otherwise, even if it costs me my life! I will protect him!"
"Jonin Shinwa, is it worth it to trouble my Torifu Clan for such a brat?"
Torifu Takuno didn't understand!
Fujiwara Tetsuya, though Yuhi Shinwa's disciple!
At most, he was just from a completely fallen small Shinobi Clan!
He was even inferior to some Ninja from civilian backgrounds.
As a supervising Jonin! A veteran Jonin.
The Genin trained by Yuhi Shinwa were by no means few.
Why! Could Fujiwara Tetsuya receive such a high degree of importance from Yuhi Shinwa?
"Is it worth it?"
"Of course it's worth it!"
"Jonin Takuno, don't say such foolish things anymore! Otherwise, it will only insult the uniform you wear."
Glancing at Torifu Takuno, Yuhi Shinwa shook his head!
Seemingly losing the mood to converse with this Torifu Clan Jonin, he sneered and turned to walk away.
At the end of the passage ahead, a young man in a trench coat and sunglasses was quietly waiting there.
The rampaging water dragon easily broke through the earth wall in front of Torune Ryoui amidst its roar, forcing the cute girl to continuously flee backward.
"Fujiwara Tetsuya! You bastard!"
The scattered water had already soaked Torune Ryoui's entire outfit.
Meeting Fujiwara Tetsuya's meaningful gaze, Torune Ryoui seemed to realize something.
She covered the protruding part of her chest, showing a hint of anger.
This damned brat!
Who did he learn that from?
"Genin Ryoui!"
"It seems now that you don't have the qualifications to entertain me!"
"This match! Ends here!"
"Water Release: Water Fang Bullet!"
The massive current of water, under constant rotation, became increasingly terrifying in its destructiveness.
The moment Torune Ryoui dodged, the ground within a dozen meters quickly shattered under the impact of the Water Fang Bullet, and countless scattered brokenstones grazed Torune Ryoui's body.
Making this pampered girl experience fear for the first time.
