Chapter 45: Charge into Despair! Advance to the Finals!
"Water Release: Water Prison Technique! Return!"
Without the slightest hesitation!
Fujiwara Tetsuya's Chakra was rapidly depleting!
A massive water sphere, four meters in diameter, gradually formed around him, trapping Fujiwara Tetsuya in its center!
"Brat! Perish!"
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Imperial Funeral!"
The moment Rasa spoke, the ground within tens of meters around Fujiwara Tetsuya began to shake violently.
Countless tiny gold dust particles, like innumerable tentacles, wrapped around the water curtain surrounding Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this?"
"Is this the power of Magnet Release?"
"The Hidden Sand Village actually possesses such a terrifying Bloodline Limit!"
Watching the commotion in the arena!
Many Konoha Ninja's eyes flickered, and they gradually stood up!
The display Rasa was putting on at this moment!
It was definitely no weaker than a high-level Rank A Ninjutsu!
"Shatter!"
Carried by the sand-gold, Rasa gradually arrived above Fujiwara Tetsuya's head!
As he clenched his right hand!
The heavy sand dune immediately tightened, followed by a continuous series of explosions emanating from beneath the sand dune.
Tens of seconds later!
When everything fell silent!
Only countless small streams of water seeped out from the heavy sand-gold.
Clearly, Fujiwara Tetsuya's Water Prison Technique! Return!
It had not withstood the binding of the Gold Dust Imperial Funeral!
"Tetsuya!"
In the spectator stands!
Seeing this scene in the arena!
Tanaka Jiro, Fujiwara Sachiko, and other members of the Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi Three Clans!
Their expressions instantly turned incredibly pale!
Their entire bodies trembled uncontrollably due to fear.
"How is this possible!"
"Tetsuya, how could he possibly die here!"
"No! It can't be, it definitely can't be!"
If Tsunade hadn't remained still!
Tanaka Jiro and Fujiwara Sachiko would have probably already rushed into the arena to search through the heavy sand-gold!
"Teacher! Tetsuya he..."
Not far away!
Aburame Mokujin's figure suddenly swayed!
His voice already carried a slight tremor.
Mikoto was severely injured and unconscious, her life unknown!
If something happened to Tetsuya again... The moment he turned to look at Yuhi Shinwa, Aburame Mokujin almost held his breath!
This outcome! It was too tragic!
It made him dare not imagine further!
..."No way!"
"Could it be that the Fujiwara Family's brat actually lost?"
"Our Konoha's genius actually lost to a Ninja from the Hidden Sand Village?"
Amidst countless murmurs of commotion!
Many Konoha residents, and officials and nobles from the Land of Fire who had come to watch the battle!
Couldn't help but stand up!
This outcome!
It was not what they wished to see!
"Proctor! It seems we can announce the results of the match!"
The sand-gold dispersed!
Rasa slowly landed on the sand-gold that had buried Fujiwara Tetsuya, and after waiting for tens of seconds!
He slowly cast his gaze towards Tsunade!
In his opinion!
Fujiwara Tetsuya, under the Gold Dust Imperial Funeral, had a ten-in-ten chance of death, with no possibility of survival!
However!
Rasa, limited by his current strength, had a restricted vision!
But Tsunade was different!
As a powerhouse with one foot in the Kage-level realm!
Tsunade's insight definitely surpassed ninety-nine point nine nine nine percent of the people present.
After a faint glance at Rasa!
Tsunade's gaze rested on the spot where Fujiwara Tetsuya had just disappeared!
It was just a casual glance! It made Rasa's expression change dramatically.
Immediately followed by the screeching of countless phoenixes!
Coming from beneath the thick sand-gold!
It was Chidori!
This brat actually survived!
Amidst Rasa's grim expression!
The Chidori in Fujiwara Tetsuya's hand tore through layers of sand-gold, reappearing in everyone's sight!
"It's the Fujiwara Family's brat! I knew it!"
"Our Konoha's genius wouldn't be defeated so easily!"
"Uncle Kiharah! You didn't say that just now! I saw you secretly wiping away tears!"
"Brat! You must have seen wrong! You must have eaten something you shouldn't have and are having hallucinations!"
"Fujiwara Family's brat, go! Take down that scoundrel from the Hidden Sand Village!"
The moment Fujiwara Tetsuya appeared!
The atmosphere in the arena surged again!
Continuous cheers almost dispersed the clouds above.
Similarly!
Upon seeing Fujiwara Tetsuya, Tanaka Jiro, Fujiwara Sachiko, and the others burst into tears of joy and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Zzzzt..."
The dazzling electricity continued to shriek in Fujiwara Tetsuya's hand!
The moment he landed!
Fujiwara Tetsuya swiftly attacked Rasa.
Just now!
His ability to survive the Gold Dust Imperial Funeral was mostly due to luck!
If it happened again, he might not have the same luck.
Rasa's trump cards!
They should have been exhausted!
"Damn brat!"
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Shigure!"
Under Rasa's manipulation!
Endless sand-gold transformed into sand bullets the size of raindrops!
They frantically shot downwards!
In just a few seconds!
The exposed ground below, as well as the shallow water that had not yet receded, was covered in countless uneven marks!
However!
With the enhancement of Chidori!
Fujiwara Tetsuya's speed!
It was much faster than before!
Under his rapid advance, he successfully avoided the attack of the Gold Dust Shigure!
"Rasa! It's over!"
At this moment!
Fujiwara Tetsuya injected all of his Chakra!
The screeching of Chidori!
It became even more ear-piercing!
"Gold Dust Wave!"
Facing the Chidori's attack, at the decisive moment!
Rasa abandoned the offensive!
Several layers of sand-gold continuously converged, gradually forming a shape similar to Rotation!
Protecting Rasa securely inside!
As expected of father and son!
The Ninjutsu that Rasa and Gaara mastered!
They truly had many commonalities!
However!
This level alone was still not enough!
Amidst the screeching of Chidori!
Fujiwara Tetsuya's figure continuously advanced! Advanced! And advanced again!
His right hand, covered in electricity!
Directly tore through the layers of sand-gold in front of him!
"Rasa! I've got you!"
Behind the barrier, the moment Fujiwara Tetsuya saw Rasa!
He couldn't help but laugh loudly!
Without the slightest hesitation!
The Chidori, weakened by the Gold Dust Wave, directly struck Rasa's right cheek!
Boom! The powerful impact!
Directly sent Rasa flying out of the Gold Dust Wave's barrier, rolling for tens of meters before crashing into a shallow pool of water.
"Rasa, it seems I've won!"
Carefulness!
It was one of Fujiwara Tetsuya's tenets!
As Rasa tried to struggle to his feet!
A cold blade was already at his neck!
"You... you won!"
"This time! I lost!"
Staring at the figure in front of him, who was much shorter than himself!
Rasa's expression changed for a moment before gradually returning to calm!
This time!
He had lost!
But this did not mean!
Fujiwara Tetsuya was stronger than him!
If they were in the Land of Wind! His home turf!
With the power of Magnet Release, he would definitely have the strength to crush Fujiwara Tetsuya!
This battle! It was not about human strength! But about the timing and geographical advantage not being on his side!
