Training Ground No. 24.
In the howling wind, the raindrops from deep within the clouds gradually intensified into a downpour.
In just a few tens of seconds, Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto, who were in the center of the training ground, were completely drenched by the torrential rain.
Uchiha Mikoto, after being soaked, undoubtedly fit Fujiwara Tetsuya's aesthetic.
However, at this moment, Fujiwara Tetsuya clearly didn't have enough time to appreciate the beautiful scene before him.
Because just as his gaze wavered, Uchiha Mikoto had already activated her single tomoe Sharingan, symbolizing the Uchiha bloodline.
Her crimson gaze instantly tensed Fujiwara Tetsuya's nerves.
So, she activated her Sharingan?
Hiruzen Sarutobi, you really picked a good opponent for me!
[Oh, pure-hearted host! The meeting of a 'boy' and a girl, this is simply a fated encounter! Faced with such a lovely girl like Uchiha Mikoto, why doesn't the host do something? Temporary mission triggered!]
[One: Defeat Uchiha Mikoto and engrave the host's magnificent figure deep within the girl's heart! Reward: One C-rank Ninjutsu (limited to Lightning or Water Release, randomly drawn), 300 Slaughter Points.]
[Two: Draw with Uchiha Mikoto and make the girl remember the host's name! Reward: One C-rank Ninjutsu (random attribute/random Ninjutsu)]
[The above missions must be completed within 10 minutes, otherwise they will be canceled!]
Listening to the voice in his mind!
Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth!
What 'boy' meets girl!
What fated encounter!
With his small physique!
Even if he had the will, he didn't have the strength!
However, faced with the system's lure, Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes gradually darkened.
If he could draw a Lightning Release Ninjutsu!
It would be of great help to his current strength.
This assessment! He had to win!
"Ding"
After the proctor Ninja signaled, Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto's figures streaked through the rain, leaving afterimages, and quickly became entangled in combat.
Two sharp kunai constantly clashed in the rainwater, producing dazzling Hikari.
"Oh! What a terrifying brat! At this age, he can keep up with Uchiha Mikoto's Genin speed?"
On the high platform, watching the two continuously attack and defend in the arena, Jiraiya stroked his chin, clicked his tongue, and gradually leaned forward.
"Jiraiya, you bastard, get away from me!"
Seeing that head about to touch her chest, Tsunade's forehead showed a large 'well' mark.
She could no longer maintain her elegant posture!
She cursed, then directly swung her right hand and smashed it down.
Although she didn't use Chakra!
That heavy fist was not something just anyone could withstand.
Almost at the moment Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru turned their heads, several fist-sized bumps appeared on Jiraiya's head.
"Tsunade, are you trying to kill me?"
As the comedic relief among the future Sannin, Jiraiya's actions never disappointed.
Sensing the cold glint in Tsunade's eyes, Jiraiya shivered and quickly hid behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Flirting!
Failed again!
"Jiraiya! Settle down! Watch carefully!"
"Fujiwara Tetsuya's performance is much more reliable than yours when you were young!"
"And you, Tsunade! You know Jiraiya's personality! Next time, just teach him a slight lesson! Don't be so ruthless again."
In front were his disciples, and behind him were also his disciples.
Both sides were his responsibility.
What could Hiruzen Sarutobi do!
He puffed out a smoke ring and could only scold both of them.
"Jiraiya! Teacher is right! This kid from a small Shinobi Clan is much more reliable than you, a dead last, when you were young."
At this time, Orochimaru, though devoted to Ninjutsu, had not yet embarked on the path of Forbidden Technique and eternal life, as he would decades later.
Although he had a feminine face, he gave people a somewhat gentle feeling.
Faced with the teasing of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru!
Jiraiya did not retort!
Because Tsunade was still staring intently at him.
As if to say, you wait, today's matter is not over.
Recalling the days when he was dominated by Tsunade's iron fists, Jiraiya shrank his neck again.
He forced himself not to look at Tsunade's proud figure anymore.
"Tetsuya!"
Not far away, Sanjido Suzuko looked at the two fighting in the arena, gradually showing some worry.
If Fujiwara Tetsuya could be three years older, closing the gap in physical fitness with Uchiha Mikoto.
Today's battle, Fujiwara Tetsuya would definitely not be struggling as much as he was now.
Moreover, she wondered if it was her imagination!
This Uchiha Clan girl, from the moment they met, gave her a very cold feeling.
Like being in an abyss!
Cold-blooded! Ruthless!
Just like fighting an enemy, she showed no intention of holding back.
In the instant Sanjido Suzuko lost her focus, the battle in the arena changed again.
After Uchiha Mikoto blocked Fujiwara Tetsuya's attack with her kunai, her body quickly retreated.
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya was about to pursue, more than ten shuriken in front of him rapidly enlarged in his vision, directly sealing off the space around him, forcing him to use the Substitution Technique to dodge.
"Snake – Ram – Monkey – Boar – Horse – Tiger"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique"
The moment Fujiwara Tetsuya appeared, a fireball with a diameter of over two meters, evaporating countless raindrops, shot straight towards his face.
"Snake - Ram - Horse - Rabbit - Ram - Horse - Rabbit"
"Water Release: Water Prison Technique"
Fujiwara Tetsuya's current level, four hand seals per second was a bit difficult, but three hand seals per second was quite proficient.
In just two seconds, a water sphere with a diameter of over three meters firmly trapped Fujiwara Tetsuya inside.
That's right! This Ninjutsu for trapping enemies.
After countless failed attempts by Fujiwara Tetsuya, it could now be skillfully used as a defensive Ninjutsu.
"Can Water Prison Technique be used like this? Hiruzen Sensei!"
Looking at the scene in the arena, Jiraiya's expression fell again, his eyes filled with indescribable surprise.
He could already do this much!
Hiruzen Sarutobi, after swatting away Jiraiya's outstretched hand, ignored him.
Instead, his gaze fell on Fujiwara Tetsuya.
Good idea.
Moreover, the hand seal speed is good!
Clearly the result of long-term hard training!
Is he a genius!
The moment the fireball and water sphere collided, a continuous sizzling sound echoed in everyone's ears, and the spreading water mist completely enveloped Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"Good battle awareness!"
"He's quite an interesting brat!"
On the high platform, Orochimaru stared at the spreading water mist, seemingly having discovered something interesting!
Or, perhaps, an interesting person.
He actually started laughing to himself.
"Fujiwara Tetsuya, huh!"
"Is this brat really just a first-year student?"
Outside the mist, Uchiha Mikoto's single tomoe in her eyes spun rapidly, and the name Fujiwara Tetsuya gradually etched itself into her heart.
