Chapter 468: Uh~ The temptation of the witch? The battle between the siblings of the Sunset Clan?
"Thump, thump, thump…"
Dull footsteps echoed continuously within the ancient palace.
To prevent Kakuzu, Sakumo Hatake, and others from being exposed to the Ninja World, only Fujiwara Tetsuya, Uchiha Mikoto, and Torune Ryoui went to the palace where Miroku resided.
"Lady Miroku, the Konoha Ninja have arrived~"
Bowing towards the curtain over the divine seat ahead, the guiding guard immediately exited the main hall.
Just as the hall doors slowly closed, the curtain suddenly dropped, and Miroku, with a belly that looked about nine months pregnant, appeared in the sight of Fujiwara Tetsuya and the two others… "Mei Zhi Hang, welcome~"
"Please forgive my presumptuousness, to suddenly request Hokage-sama to send you to the Land of Demons."
Hearing Miroku's explanation, Fujiwara Tetsuya finally understood why Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze had been so subtle at the time… Wait, that old pervert couldn't possibly think that Miroku's child… was his, could he?
Was it because of his abandonment that Miroku was forced to resort to such a drastic measure?
Secretly pondering Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts at the time, Fujiwara Tetsuya's face gradually darkened… However, Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't notice that opposite him… Miroku seemed able to see through Fujiwara Tetsuya's inner thoughts, and as she lowered her head, her face visibly flushed at an astonishing speed.
"Lady Miroku, for the Ninja World, this is what I should do~"
"However, along my journey here, I haven't found any traces of rampant demons~ Could Lady Miroku explain in detail to us about the Land of Demons… and the current situation of Moryo?"
Seeing Fujiwara Tetsuya discard his distracting thoughts and his mind become pure once more… Miroku's expression slowly returned to normal.
With a soft hum, she began to explain in a low voice to the three… "So, those guys, and Moryo, are waiting for the right moment?"
"That's right, they are indeed waiting for Shion's birth… Only that moment is when I am at my weakest, and it is the best time for them to seize the power hidden within Shion~"
Ten-odd minutes later, Fujiwara Tetsuya, Uchiha Mikoto, and Torune Ryoui not only understood the current situation from Miroku's words… but also learned many secrets of the Ninja World concerning demons, priestesses, and various other hidden matters.
"But~ you just mentioned that only Tetsuya-kun can save the Land of Demons and quell this unrest…? Does a priestess really possess such a power similar to precognition?"
The sixth sense of women made Uchiha Mikoto and Torune Ryoui feel a great sense of crisis from Miroku.
Not to mention Miroku's beauty was not inferior to theirs, just the word 'priestess'… a term that could ignite a man's protective instincts, was enough to make them pay more attention.
"That's right… The power controlled by each generation of priestesses is different, and I… can foresee all of this through that hazy future…"
"Mei Zhi Hang is the savior who will rescue our mother and daughter, and save the Ninja World from demonic invasion… a savior-like existence."
Facing Miroku's fervent gaze, Fujiwara Tetsuya was momentarily overwhelmed, secretly sniffing his nose and slightly shifting his gaze… As Fujiwara Tetsuya, Uchiha Mikoto, and Torune Ryoui quietly waited for Miroku to give birth… waiting for the hidden observers to make their move.
In Konoha… the new Chunin Exams, after the brutal elimination of the second round, ushered in the most climactic third round: individual battles.
"Waaah… Kakashi, you damn bastard, just you wait, by next year… Lord Obito will definitely become a Chunin."
At the edge of the arena, Obito, who had been eliminated in the second round, faced Kakashi's indifference, and under his wild imagination, his mindset instantly collapsed. If Minato Namikaze and Rin hadn't held him back, he probably would have already rushed up to challenge Kakashi… "Hmph~ If it weren't for your big heart, Rin wouldn't have been eliminated~"
"Obito, if you really have the ability, show us, don't just talk~"
"Someone who only roars can't become a powerful Ninja."
Facing the snarling Obito, Kakashi, after glancing at Rin beside him, merely responded indifferently with two sentences, and then focused all his attention on the battle in the arena… There weren't many Genin who entered the individual battles, a total of twenty-four.
Besides Yuhi Tsukuru, Yuhi, Asuma, Aburame Yuto, Tanaka Gintoki… seventeen Konoha Genin, among the remaining seven spots, Tani Hidden Village took three, and Hidden Rain Village took three… As for Kusagakure Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi had deliberately allocated one spot to them to save their face.
"Hmph~ Tanaka Gintoki, surrender~ Even with that person's guidance, without any bloodline limit, you have no chance of winning against these eyes."
In the center of the arena, opposite Tanaka Gintoki stood a long-haired Uchiha loli… Looking at the blood stained on her katana, she was proudly looking down at Tanaka Gintoki.
"Tch~"
"What a troublesome guy~ Uchiha Inazuma…"
"However, don't think… that opening a one-tomoe Sharingan makes you invincible."
"Let me show you the results of my almost year-long training with my teacher…"
"Konoha-Style Swordsmanship: Double Sky Drop~"
The same swordsmanship, but different people.
Yet, it truly and genuinely pulled everyone's memories… back to eleven years ago without limit.
That year, Fujiwara Tetsuya also relied on his stunning swordsmanship and Lightning Release to sweep the arena, establishing his name as Konoha's strongest genius of the new generation… "Uchiha-Style Swordsmanship: Gale Sword~"
The roar of the katana and the surging air currents… instantly heightened the emotions of the spectators around the arena.
"What a distant memory~"
"I didn't expect Tetsuya to not only be outstanding in strength, but also so excellent in teaching disciples…"
Watching Uchiha Inazuma's retreating figure, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sitting on the high platform, curved his lips into a smile… subconsciously stroking his beard.
"Winner, Tanaka Gintoki~"
Among the countless spectators, if there was anyone who was the most joyful and whose feelings were the most complex… it was undoubtedly Tanaka Jiro.
Tanaka Gintoki, flowing with the blood of the Tanaka Clan, could be completely seen as his… continuation of the Ninja path.
"Is just one Tanaka Gintoki already so difficult?"
"Then, Yuhi Tsukuru, Aburame Yuto… to what extent have they grown under that person's guidance?"
"Next round, Yuhi Tsukuru and Yuhi Kurenai will be on stage…"
The moment the Proctor's words fell, a huge roar immediately erupted within the arena… Not to mention the Konoha Higher-Ups sitting in high positions, twitching their mouths~
Gathered on one side, the members of the Yuhi Clan, led by Yuhi Shinwa and Yūhi Shinku, suddenly changed their expressions.
The battle between the Yuhi Clan siblings?
A battle between the exceptionally talented and the mediocre?
Is it a test? Or simply a malicious prank?
