Is it over?!"
Yoshida Kazuo was a Ninja who had seen blood.
Though only for a brief moment, the surrounding students also felt an eerie, terrifying aura.
That was the killing intent Yoshida Kazuo had accumulated over a long time since becoming a Ninja.
"Poof."
However, the outcome everyone expected did not occur.
When the kunai slashed across the back of Sanjido Suzuko, who was transformed by Fujiwara Tetsuya, the figure suddenly turned into a puff of white smoke and vanished from everyone's sight.
"Clone Technique?"
At this point, not only the older students, but even Sanjido Suzuko and the many Ninja Academy teachers behind her could no longer stay calm.
A rare look of solemnity appeared in her eyes.
Such proficient Three Body Technique definitely surpassed most of Konoha's Genin.
"Teacher Yoshida, the lesson you were going to give me seems to be delayed!"
While everyone was scanning their surroundings, searching for Fujiwara Tetsuya's figure, his voice came from under a tree shade not far away.
A slender figure was currently standing on his hands under a thick tree trunk.
Tree climbing, water walking!
It wasn't as difficult as Fujiwara Tetsuya had imagined!
"Tetsuya, have you already reached this level of training?!"
Gazing at Fujiwara Tetsuya's figure, Sanjido Suzuko felt more heartache than relief.
To reach his current level of training!
Fujiwara Tetsuya, how many hardships had he endured?
In the distance, Uesugi Yusuke and Tanaka Rina stared at the inverted Fujiwara Tetsuya, their mouths wide enough to fit two eggs.
It was as if they had just met him for the first time.
"Teacher Yoshida, three minutes have passed. You don't have much time left!"
Seeing Yoshida Kazuo charging straight at him, Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't hesitate at all, turning and moving quickly into the depths of the dense forest.
"Fire Release: Flame Bullet."
When he was only ten meters away from Fujiwara Tetsuya, Yoshida Kazuo spat out a scorching flame, completely engulfing Fujiwara Tetsuya.
Fire Release: Flame Bullet, a C-rank Ninjutsu, was also one of the Ninjutsu Yoshida Kazuo was most proficient with.
"That idiot Yoshida! Why did he use such an offensive Ninjutsu?"
The distant explosion immediately attracted everyone's attention.
After leaving several Ninja Academy teachers to maintain order, Sanjido Suzuko and two other Chunin quickly rushed towards the explosion area.
"Tetsuya! This is as far as you go!"
At the critical moment, although Fujiwara Tetsuya managed to escape the center in time, he was still affected by the scorching flames.
Looking at the tattered burn marks on his body, Fujiwara Tetsuya's face immediately fell.
Well, then!
His most fitting and presentable clothes were gone.
"It's about time!"
"Teacher Yoshida, before you declare victory, please look around."
With a light laugh, Fujiwara Tetsuya pulled out a kunai from behind him and, with a flick of his wrist, broke a small tree several meters away.
The moment the small tree collapsed with a crash, Yoshida Kazuo's ears were filled with the screeching sound of tightening steel wires.
Under the sunlight, dozens of steel wires, as thin as hair, tightly sealed off the space around Yoshida Kazuo.
"A trap?"
Looking at the dense steel wires all around, Yoshida Kazuo felt his scalp tingle instinctively.
If he had taken another half-meter step forward just now, even if he didn't die, he would have suffered considerable injuries.
"Teacher Yoshida, do you want to continue?"
Two new kunai appeared in Fujiwara Tetsuya's hands again.
Don't misunderstand! These were the only ones he had left.
They were a gift from the system's beginner's gift package.
Otherwise, with the current economic situation of the Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi Three Clans, there would be no spare money to replenish Ninja tools.
"Perhaps I'm letting Teacher Sanjido down!"
"However, Fujiwara Tetsuya, I acknowledge that you possess the strength to become a qualified Genin. Congratulations on passing the trial!"
As a Chunin, Yoshida Kazuo still had several Ninjutsu of decent power.
However, if he were to use them, it would no longer be a Genin's trial, but a Chunin's trial.
"Thank you, Teacher Yoshida!"
The moment Fujiwara Tetsuya bowed, Sanjido Suzuko and two other Elite Chunin teachers also appeared beside Fujiwara Tetsuya.
Upon noticing the steel wires around Yoshida Kazuo, they immediately understood everything.
Fujiwara Tetsuya!
He succeeded!
Minutes later, when Fujiwara Tetsuya retrieved his Ninja tools and reappeared on the training ground, thunderous cheers erupted all around.
"Well done, Fujiwara Tetsuya!"
"Fujiwara Tetsuya, do you have a girlfriend? I'm still single!"
"Fujiwara Tetsuya, just you wait, someday I'll also apply for early graduation just like you!"
"Fujiwara Tetsuya, thank you for making Teacher Yoshida lose face. On behalf of the students of Class 3, Year 2, I thank you!"
...After leaving the Ninja Academy, to "celebrate" Fujiwara Tetsuya passing the trial, Sanjido Suzuko treated Fujiwara Tetsuya to a bowl of ramen.
Of course, the name of the ramen shop was not Ichiraku Ramen.
In Konoha 34, Teuchi would at most be around fourteen years old, probably holed up somewhere at this time, diligently practicing his ramen techniques.
Although it was a bit regrettable!
This did not affect Fujiwara Tetsuya's enthusiasm for eating!
In the Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi Three Clans, even the simplest, most ordinary ramen was a top-tier luxury.
This was already his third bowl!
"Tetsuya! Passing Chunin Yoshida's trial doesn't guarantee that you'll pass the early graduation exam."
"I understand, Teacher Sanjido!"
After draining the thick noodle soup from his bowl, Fujiwara Tetsuya let out a satisfied burp.
Finally, he was full!
"I know Teacher Yoshida held back!"
"If Teacher Yoshida hadn't held back, I would probably be in the hospital right now."
Chunin, although they were a slightly higher-ranked cannon fodder than Genin, they weren't like cabbages in a field!
They weren't someone anyone could just step on.
"It's good that you understand! The opponent you face when applying for graduation will definitely be stronger than what Chunin Yoshida demonstrated today."
"On this point, Tetsuya! Please be sure to be prepared!"
Scanning Fujiwara Tetsuya's smiling face, Sanjido Suzuko still carried a hint of worry in her eyes.
In her opinion, for Fujiwara Tetsuya to possess such proficient Three Body Technique and such strong combat awareness at this age was truly genius.
To call him a genius was no exaggeration!
However, there was an unbridgeable gap between geniuses.
Just like the First Hokage, and that one from the Uchiha, compared to the current Kage of the various Ninja Villages.
"Teacher Sanjido! Teacher Yoshida held back! But the strength I displayed today may not necessarily be my full extent."
"So, smile, Teacher Sanjido!"
"As my first teacher, your name will surely spread throughout the Ninja World with my growth!"
Patting his belly, Fujiwara Tetsuya looked at the night sky outside and slowly stood up.
It was time to go!
If he didn't leave now, he might not be able to resist following Sanjido Suzuko home!
"Arrogant fellow!"
Facing Fujiwara Tetsuya's "confident" display, Sanjido Suzuko didn't say much, simply slapping the back of Fujiwara Tetsuya's head
