Chapter 81 A Wise Choice! Zero Qualified Candidates!
The high schoolers in front of Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't cause him much trouble.
Compared to Fujiwara Tetsuya, who had already embarked on the path of a Ninja, these Ninja Academy students were too soft in their Taijutsu clashes.
They lacked the conviction to deliver a decisive blow.
Not only did they fail to tie down Fujiwara Tetsuya and buy time for the high schoolers nearby to cast Ninjutsu, but they also got themselves defeated within a mere few tens of seconds.
"It seems you're ready!"
"Alright! Given your hard work, I'll give you a chance!"
Looking at the dozen or so figures gathering, Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't disturb the high schoolers preparing to cast Ninjutsu.
Instead, he slowly walked forward until he reached a relatively open area, free of fallen bodies, before finally stopping.
"Water Release: Water Prison Technique! Return!"
"Come on! This is probably your only chance!"
"Break through the water curtain! Heavily injure me!"
"Otherwise, this graduation exam should come to an end!"
Pointing at the two-meter-thick water curtain beside him, Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes were full of provocation.
"Damn it! You arrogant bastard!"
"We will definitely break this water curtain and beat you down to the ground!"
Fujiwara Tetsuya's actions once again stirred the emotions of these Ninja Academy students.
Only Nara Shikamaru and Nara Suzaku seemed to see through everything, silently turning their heads away.
At this moment, they finally understood why, after Konoha's founding, the Konoha higher-ups placed such great emphasis on the personnel configuration of Ninja squads.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Binding Snake Glare!"
...Regardless of whether it was useful or not, the high schoolers in front of them used all the Ninjutsu they could currently master on Fujiwara Tetsuya.
Unfortunately, what was a grand display of power resulted in immense disappointment.
"How is that possible?!"
"Water Release: Water Prison Technique! Return! I know about it!"
"It's only a C-rank Ninjutsu! Why can it withstand the bombardment of so many of our Ninjutsu?!"
Looking at the unchanged water curtain, many high schoolers, after exhausting their Chakra, felt a huge blow.
Their tone was filled with disbelief and doubt.
"Why?"
"Ninjutsu is important, but what's more important is the person using the Ninjutsu!
As long as you are strong enough, even an ordinary B-rank Ninjutsu can achieve the level of an A-rank or even S-rank Ninjutsu!
Your vision is too narrow!"
Amidst Fujiwara Tetsuya's low voice, the surrounding water curtain disintegrated, turning into small streams of water that bound all ten-plus high schoolers in front of him.
"Congratulations! You are out!"
Shhh!
As the situation changed, silence immediately fell all around.
Whether it was the observing Ninja Academy students or the Chunin and Elite Chunin teachers, everyone was shocked by Fujiwara Tetsuya's move.
So, a simple Ninjutsu like Water Prison Technique still had so much room for development!
"Damn it! What a mean guy!"
"Next time! Next time we will definitely defeat you!"
Looking at Fujiwara Tetsuya's retreating figure, several high schoolers from prominent clans couldn't help but roar in hatred.
"If I were you, I wouldn't talk to a Proctor of a graduation exam like that!"
"Perhaps I'll apply to Hokage-sama to be your Proctor for your official graduation...."
"Hahaha! After all, you never know about these things!"
Rubbing the back of his head, Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't look back.
However, these words clearly had a good effect.
At least, in Fujiwara Tetsuya's perception, the group of losers behind him had quieted down considerably.
"Is this kid a devil?!"
At this moment, gazes converged.
The high schoolers bound by the water streams couldn't help but shiver.
If they encountered this guy again in the next graduation exam, the outcome would probably not be much different from today.
"The three of you! What will you choose next?"
"Will you continue to fight me, or will you choose to withdraw?"
Following Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze, three figures gradually emerged.
They were Nara Shikaku, Nara Suzaku, and Akimichi Choza.
With the keenness of a wise man, at the critical moment, Nara Shikaku and Nara Suzaku pulled Akimichi Choza and timely retreated out of Fujiwara Tetsuya's attack range.
However, this seemed to have little impact on the final outcome.
"We withdraw!"
Although there was less than a minute left until the time Fujiwara Tetsuya had set, after Nara Shikaku looked at the scattered figures and their bizarre postures not far away, he decisively chose to withdraw.
At this moment, he had already understood Fujiwara Tetsuya's—no, the Sandaime's—thoughts.
If they were to continue fighting, they would undoubtedly face Fujiwara Tetsuya's most powerful counterattack.
With their current level, they might not be able to withstand it.
"As expected of the Nara Clan's twin stars!"
"A wise choice!"
"Congratulations! You are out!"
Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze lingered on Nara Shikaku for a moment before he withdrew it.
After turning around and pulling out kirimaru, he slowly walked to where the many Ninja Academy teachers were.
However, after witnessing Fujiwara Tetsuya's overwhelming combat, the expressions of these Ninja Academy teachers were inevitably somewhat downcast.
Dozens of high schoolers, many of whom they had praised as geniuses in the past, had lost just like that.
This graduation exam was destined to become one of the biggest jokes since the founding of the Ninja Academy.
"Tetsuya! You guy!"
Looking at his disciple, Sandaime reached out his hand but couldn't say anything.
This brat! Did he not consider saving them some face?
Dozens of high schoolers, not a single one passed.
How were they supposed to explain this to Hokage-sama?
And to the parents of those students?
"Sandaime-sensei! If you're going to ask why I did this, then that's a bit redundant!
The reason I did this is that I'm responsible for their lives!
The results of the graduation exam are as you teachers have seen!
In this graduation exam, zero passed, thirty-six failed, and three withdrew!
I will personally report the relevant details to Hokage-sama!
Of course, I will also trouble all of you teachers to prepare a formal written report and submit it to the Hokage Office!"
Scanning the surrounding gazes, Fujiwara Tetsuya knew in his heart that his actions today had, to some extent, provoked the Ninja Academy teachers.
He probably wouldn't be as welcome the next time he came to the Ninja Academy.
