Chapter 75: Monkey Demon goes to battle! The cage that restricts the power of the Hokage!
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!"
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya was searching for Fujiwara Tetsuya, Hiruzen Sarutobi's figure appeared behind Fujiwara Tetsuya!
The scorching Fire Release unleashed a massive wave of fire, completely engulfing Fujiwara Tetsuya!
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
Fujiwara Tetsuya's Water Release couldn't completely nullify Hiruzen Sarutobi's Fire Dragon Bullet!
However, Fujiwara Tetsuya was well aware of the Chakra difference between him and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The current situation was exactly what he needed!
Under the high-temperature evaporation, countless water mists gradually gathered, covering both Fujiwara Tetsuya and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
The mist obscured everyone's vision!
Fujiwara Tetsuya, deep within the mist, also couldn't pinpoint Hiruzen Sarutobi's location.
However, with his combat experience from Mist Island, Fujiwara Tetsuya somewhat knew how to deal with the current situation!
At such times, feeling was most important!
As long as the Ninjutsu's power was strong enough, an area-of-effect attack would suffice!
"What a reckless kid!"
Due to the angle, Fujiwara Tetsuya's Water Severing Wave took on a horizontal trajectory.
After piercing through the mist, the terrifying high-pressure water wave continued to sweep outwards!
For a moment, countless trees fell, and even the Konoha Ninja watching the battle were more or less affected, forced to dodge!
Fujiwara Tetsuya!
Looking at the devastation left by the Water Severing Wave not far away, the geniuses of the Senju, Uchiha, Kurama, and other Shinobi Clans grew solemn.
Although the focus of their Ninjutsu varied, facing such violent Ninjutsu would still be a headache.
"Tetsuya, how did you find my location?!"
The mist dissipated, and the figures of Fujiwara Tetsuya and Hiruzen Sarutobi gradually became visible.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was already covered in quite a bit of water, clearly indicating that Fujiwara Tetsuya's judgment just now was extremely accurate!
"Hokage-sama, if I said it was intuition, would you believe me?"
Out of caution, Fujiwara Tetsuya chuckled dryly and quickly distanced himself from Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Human nature is unpredictable.
Who knew if the person in front of him would also retaliate with a Water Release, making him look the same?
"Intuition, huh?"
"Tetsuya, good answer!"
"As a Ninja, you must not only make rational judgments based on the situation, but also trust your intuition at critical moments!"
"Once you've decided on something, don't hesitate! Otherwise, you might pay with your life!"
Seeing Fujiwara Tetsuya's cautious expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled softly and didn't immediately attack, but instead stroked his beard and began to preach.
"Thank you for your guidance, Hokage-sama! I've noted it down!"
Fortunately, in front of so many Ninja, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't try to instill in him the will of fire theory.
Otherwise, he would have no choice but to become a sycophant.
"Tetsuya, be careful in the upcoming battle! I'm going to attack!"
The moment Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice fell, Fujiwara Tetsuya's pupils suddenly constricted.
Because within his field of vision and his range of perception, Hiruzen Sarutobi's trace had completely vanished!
"Water Release: Water Prison Technique! Return!"
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi, holding Enma transformed into the Adamantine ruyi rod, appeared behind Fujiwara Tetsuya, unleashing a terrifying air current directly at the back of Fujiwara Tetsuya's head!
Fortunately, after raising the Water Prison Technique to the proficient level, Fujiwara Tetsuya's hand seal speed became increasingly rapid.
At the critical moment, a two-meter radius water curtain successfully deflected the terrifying power of the Adamantine ruyi rod!
"Hokage-sama is playing a bit too rough! To deal with a kid, he even summoned Lord Enma!"
On the periphery, many Konoha Jonin twitched their mouths fiercely as they looked at the Adamantine ruyi rod in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand.
"Who knows! Perhaps it was just Hokage-sama being spontaneous! However, this Fujiwara Clan kid is in for a tough time now!"
As everyone had guessed, Fujiwara Tetsuya had no ability to resist against Hiruzen Sarutobi, who wielded Enma!
The thick water curtain, under the bombardment of the Adamantine ruyi rod, only lasted for a few seconds before completely turning into a puddle.
As for Water Fang Bullet and Water Dragon Whip, neither could withstand the bombardment of the Adamantine ruyi rod.
If there was any shortcoming, it was that if one strike wasn't enough, then another would come!
This relentless fighting style gradually made Fujiwara Tetsuya's movements difficult.
After being battered for twenty minutes, Fujiwara Tetsuya's Chakra was finally exhausted.
Looking at the incoming shadow of the rod, Fujiwara Tetsuya very simply surrendered.
Fighting until his Chakra was depleted was his last act of stubbornness.
"It's finally over!"
"This Fujiwara Clan kid, has he grown to such an extent without me realizing it?!"
"Compared to his performance during the Chunin Exams, this rate of progress is truly astonishing!"
With the conclusion of this spar, the surrounding crowd also began to seriously consider this battle.
Facing the Third Hokage, who wielded Enma, even if it was just a test, it was still a level of intensity that most ordinary Jonin would find difficult to withstand.
"Hiashi! Hizashi!"
"This is the kid who defeated Momaru! For the honor of the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan, you must defeat this kid!"
At this moment, the one nagging beside Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi was an elder of the main family.
However, facing the words of this main family elder, Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi did not immediately respond.
Fujiwara Tetsuya was not yet nine years old.
Bullying a nine-year-old kid would only bring more shame to the Hyuga Clan.
As for waiting for Fujiwara Tetsuya to grow up, after witnessing Fujiwara Tetsuya's battle today, neither of them had full confidence.
An indescribable pressure gradually enveloped the hearts of these twin brothers.
"Tetsuya, I understand your strength now!"
"Whether it's swordsmanship, Lightning Release, or Water Release, the level of mastery you possess far exceeds that of your peers!"
"You truly have the qualifications to embark on that path!"
Looking at the panting Fujiwara Tetsuya, Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze softened again.
Indeed, his choice was correct!
Vigorously supporting the development of the Ninja Academy and continuously cultivating talent for Konoha—all the efforts had finally paid off in recent years.
Those with the potential to become strong were no longer just Ninja from prominent clans.
There were also geniuses like Fujiwara Tetsuya, who came from declining Shinobi Clans.
Perhaps in another ten or so years, he might be able to completely change the Senju, Uchiha, and Hyuga—these names that were synonymous with power cages!
