Chapter 277: Three people are enough for this kind of thing called feelings! Danzo: I understand!
"It seems…there's nothing left…"
Gazing at Kurama Yobu's changing expression, Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't help but sigh softly.
It felt…like something was left unfinished.
The Kurama Clan's Kekkei Genkai indeed granted Kurama Yobu extraordinary power.
It even allowed Kurama Yobu to break free from the constraints of various Ninjutsu attributes, freely materializing the five elemental powers of lightning, fire, earth, water, and wind within the Ninjutsu space.
However.
Kurama Yobu's own vision, as well as the Kurama Clan's physique,
limited the upper bound of this Kekkei Genkai.
If Kurama Yobu could comprehend the essence of lightning! The essence of water…and possessed a physique and Chakra reserves comparable to the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan,
then she would undoubtedly be a devastating weapon, capable of slaying gods and Buddhas alike.
If she couldn't defeat them…or outwit them, then she would simply annihilate them in the Genjutsu space.
"Fujiwara Tetsuya…I want to…"
"It's over…Miss Yobu."
As Kurama Yobu, her face flushed with anger, prepared to endure the Genjutsu backlash and continue her attack,
Fujiwara Tetsuya sighed softly, and his figure blurred, reappearing behind Kurama Yobu.
That seemingly gentle palm, as it brushed against Kurama Yobu's skin, instantly made Kurama Yobu feel an endless chill.
"This…how…how is this possible?!"
"How could you be so fast?"
"If you had this speed, why did you…"
"Fujiwara Tetsuya…you are humiliating me…"
Watching Kurama Yobu, who was like a crazed wildcat, biting, scratching, and cursing him…countless black lines appeared on Fujiwara Tetsuya's forehead.
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly knocked out this genius of the Kurama Clan.
As Kurama Yobu's consciousness fell into a coma, the illusions in Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes also completely dissipated.
"Someone, take Chunin Kurama Yobu away."
Looking at Kurama Yobu, who was about to fall, Fujiwara Tetsuya hesitated for a moment, but still caught Kurama Yobu by the waist before she hit the ground.
"From the looks of it, did Lord Tetsuya win this battle?"
"As expected of Lord Tetsuya, he's so gentle even with his opponents. Chunin Yobu is truly fortunate…"
"If it were me, even…if I was just held by Lord Tetsuya once, my life would be complete."
As countless figures surged forward, their gazes gradually turning fervent,
Fujiwara Tetsuya, standing in the center of the arena, felt two chilling presences.
"Eh~ Tetsuya-kun, why are you so fickle? Don't you agree, Mikoto?"
"However…Kurama Yobu, being able to defeat Uchiha Shinji, is also a very excellent woman, and with her captivating figure and face, it's no wonder Tetsuya-kun would be moved…"
"Hmph! Ryoui, you don't need to add fuel to the fire in front of me. Know your place."
"Kurama Yobu…I will warn her."
When it came to emotions, three people were already too many, and she would never allow a fourth party to interfere… "Lord Tetsuya, do you need to rest?"
Meeting Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze, Hyuga Hiashi, Senju Shangcheng, Hyuga Hizashi, and the others paused, feeling an invisible pressure weigh on their hearts.
"Rest? No need!"
"I've already lost a lot of time just now to experience the Kurama Clan's Kekkei Genkai up close."
"Dragging it on further would be too impolite to the spectators who came to watch."
"Also, everyone…you don't need to be so formal in front of me in the future, no need for honorifics."
"Call me Tetsuya, or Tetsuya-kun, either is fine."
"Yes, Lord Tetsuya!"
Neither Hyuga Hiashi nor Senju Shangcheng and the others seemed to take Fujiwara Tetsuya's later words to heart, still responding stiffly.
"You guys…"
"Then, everyone, get ready…"
"Otherwise, if you lose too quickly, you won't be able to account for yourselves…"
At the moment kirimaru buzzed!
Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Hizashi, Senju Shangcheng, Uchiha Shinji, and the sixteen other "provisional" Jonin quickly prepared for battle.
"Gulp~"
"Hey! Did I see that right…Lord Tetsuya, is he really going to fight all the challengers at once?"
"This is…truly big news! If…if Lord Tetsuya can win, then the shock will not only be throughout the Land of Fire; by then…the entire Ninja World will tremble because of this battle."
"Hiruzen…the Fujiwara Family's brat, he's too reckless this time."
"Koharu, be quiet! Given the brat Tetsuya's personality, since he dares to do this, he must have some confidence."
"We can also…take this opportunity to witness the growth of the brat Tetsuya over the years."
Compared to Utatane Koharu, who was full of worry, Hiruzen Sarutobi's mood was much calmer.
"Exactly! Koharu…that brat, after all, is the Village's new generation's chief, not a reckless and arrogant brat."
"In my opinion, this brat's decision is quite good; if he can truly defeat Hyuga Hiashi, Senju Shangcheng, and the others…that will have an immeasurable impact on the current situation within the Land of Fire, as well as the attitudes of the surrounding countries."
"By then, it will greatly alleviate the various pressures the Village currently faces…"
"Besides, young people always need a bit of youthful vigor, don't they?"
Neither Hiruzen Sarutobi, nor Utatane Koharu, nor Homura Mitokado,
had ever imagined that Danzo, who had his Root base sunk by Fujiwara Tetsuya, would one day speak from Fujiwara Tetsuya's perspective.
"Danzo…you."
Looking at the familiar face before her, Utatane Koharu felt a tingling sensation in her head.
"Koharu! Our vision must look forward."
"The future Konoha is destined to belong to the youth!"
"Hiruzen, my thinking was too limited in the past. Although it was also for the Village, I inadvertently overlooked too many things and put you in a difficult position."
"No…Danzo, you don't need to feel guilty."
"I'm very happy that you can think this way…Danzo!"
Looking at Danzo's sincere face, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly put down his pipe, his eyes filled with relief.
His good friend, who had fought alongside him and shared life and death…was back… "Everyone, begin!"
Accompanied by bursts of sword light.
The curtain call battle of the promotion assessment officially began.
"Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven!"
While Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi blocked Fujiwara Tetsuya's attacks,
Senju Shangcheng, Uchiha Shinji, Uchiha Toumaru, and the others had already rushed in front of Fujiwara Tetsuya.
Perhaps after witnessing Fujiwara Tetsuya easily defeat Kurama Yobu,
they understood in their hearts that the Genjutsu they currently controlled would not be able to restrain Fujiwara Tetsuya at all.
So they abandoned Genjutsu harassment and adopted close-quarters combat and long-range suppression tactics.
"Uchiha-Style Swordsmanship: Gale Sword!"
"Secret Technique: Parasitic Insects!"
..."This feeling…is truly exhilarating!"
"Konoha-Style Swordsmanship: Empty Vibration!"
After dodging Uchiha Shinji's attack with a sidestep, Fujiwara Tetsuya casually struck, directly shaking to death a large swarm of parasitic insects released by Aburame Kana, and charged in close.
