[🥳 New novel is out guys, "In Hentai World as Mirai Tsubakihara's Relative", do support.🎊.]
"Hey, kid! Gotta give you props for this one."
"Too bad... your time's up."
"Muto, have you pinpointed their location yet?"
A chill crept up from the ground, sending a shiver through Fujiwara Tetsuya's body. His heart raced faster.
After all, one of these enemies belonged to the Yuki Clan.
If Minazuki Chione had fully awakened her ice-style jutsu... well, things were about to get messy. A full-on wipeout of their team wasn't off the table.
"Ice Style: Snow Swallow Slash!"
"Damn it! Of all things, it had to be ice!"
"Makoto, no holding back now! Hit 'em with Fire Style!"
The air crackled with the sound of incoming projectiles. Tetsuya's short blade whipped through the air, trying to fend off an unrelenting barrage of ice shuriken, but there were too many to count.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
"Fire Style: Flame Bullets!"
"Fire Style: Super Flame Bomb!"
A wave of intense heat evaporated every drop of moisture in the air. One by one, the ice shuriken melted in the rising steam.
"Tetsuya! I've got eyes on them!"
Just as Uchiha Makoto's chakra reserves were running dangerously low, Aburame Muto finally made his move. Clouds of insects swarmed out from his body, encircling and protecting the three of them.
"Nice one, Muto!"
"Water Style: Water Clone Jutsu!"
"Makoto! Muto! You two are in for a treat! Time to show off my latest jutsu!"
"This pointless fight... ends now!"
"Tetsuya, don't get reckless! These people are no joke!"
Makoto and Muto both stiffened, their eyes narrowing as they watched Tetsuya's cocky grin.
Ice-style, bone pulse... They were up against bloodline limits from some seriously dangerous clans.
"Relax! You two just sit back and watch."
"After today, the name Fujiwara Tetsuya will echo through Konoha!"
Ox-Hare-Monkey
"Lightning Style: Chidori!"
In an instant, both Tetsuya and his water clone crackled with electricity, tiny bolts of lightning leaping from their hands like hundreds of screaming birds.
"Chidori... So this is the jutsu you've been working on?" Makoto's eyes widened, a look of disbelief flashing across her face.
When did that annoying little brat she couldn't stand... get so strong?
No wonder he said his name would be known in Konoha...
Tetsuya, I won't lose to you. I swear I won't!
At that moment, Makoto's eyes flickered, a subtle transformation taking place. The single tomoe in her Sharingan slowly spun into a dual tomoe formation.
"Chidori, explode!"
The thick fog that had blanketed the battlefield flashed with lightning. Screams echoed through the haze, as Mist-nin fell one by one.
With a devastating blow, Tetsuya had taken down Kugutsu koyo, and killed Hoshigaki Mikawa leaving the remaining mist to disperse as the enemy's chakra faded away.
"Tetsuya! You alright?"
The heavy chakra expenditure hit Tetsuya like a brick wall. His knees nearly buckled as exhaustion overwhelmed him.
Fortunately, Makoto and Muto quickly rushed to his side as soon as they sensed his weakening state.
"I'm fine! Just drained from using too much chakra."
"Just need a minute to catch my breath."
Rubbing his numb right hand, Tetsuya's gaze shifted to the bodies of the Mist-nin scattered nearby. Nomiki Kageri, Kugutsu Koyo and Hoshigaki Mikawa had all fallen to his strike.
But three of their stronger fighters—Hozuki Shin, Kaguya Saki and Minazuki Chione—had managed to survive the Chidori's onslaught, though not without injury. They still had enough fight left in them.
"Chidori, huh..."
"Fujiwara Tetsuya! I won't forget this!"
"We'll stop for now, but mark my words... We'll meet again!"
"Next time, I'll take your head and wipe away the humiliation of today!"
Standing over his fallen comrades' bodies, Hozuki Shin's expression was twisted with rage. As one of the rising stars of Kirigakure, this was his first complete defeat.
Chidori... So fast!
If he hadn't partially mastered the Hydration Technique and shifted his vitals just in time... he'd be lying dead like the others right now.
"Heh, talk's cheap."
"By the time we cross paths again, I might already be a jonin."
"If you're not up for another round, I suggest you grab your friends and get the hell out of here."
"Otherwise, when the other Konoha squads arrive, I might just decide to finish what I started."
Tetsuya exhaled quietly in relief as he sensed their hesitation. Still, his cocky tone didn't falter, and he kept swinging his blade for good measure.
"Tch!"
"We're leaving!"
A few seconds later, Shin and the surviving Mist-nin vanished into the dense forest, carrying their dead comrades with them.
Once he confirmed they were gone, Tetsuya finally let his bravado drop. With a heavy sigh, he collapsed onto the grass, gulping in lungfuls of fresh air.
Man, it feels good to be alive.
"Tetsuya! Seriously, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, really! Just need to rest."
"By the way, Makoto, when did your Sharingan evolve to dual tomoe?"
It was only now that Tetsuya noticed the change in Makoto's eyes. She seemed a little unsteady, still adjusting to the sudden boost in her visual prowess.
"Oh, that? My Sharingan evolved just now, actually."
Maybe it was because of Tetsuya's impressive performance, but Makoto's voice sounded softer than usual.
"Just now?"
"Wait a sec—Makoto, don't tell me you leveled up because I pushed you too hard? That's the only explanation, right?"
"No way! I actually guessed right?"
Tetsuya's eyes gleamed with mischief, and before Makoto could react, he let out a dramatic yelp and jumped to his feet.
"You brat!"
"Say one more thing, and I'll make sure you get a firsthand experience of my new Sharingan's power!"
Tetsuya's blunt comment struck a nerve, sending a jolt of embarrassment through Makoto. Her eyes narrowed, and her expression turned cold.
Yeah... dealing with this kid, being nice is clearly a mistake.
"Uh..."
"Makoto, I was wrong, okay? Please, put the Sharingan away!"
