Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Konoha's Number One Genius

Upon hearing his name, Mirai Uchiha walked slowly to the center of the field under everyone's gaze.

Asuma Sarutobi, on the other hand, appeared in front of Mirai Uchiha with a Flicker Body Jutsu.

"Mirai Uchiha, this time I will defeat you in front of everyone and show Kurenai who the true strong one is!"

Since being easily defeated by Mirai Uchiha last time, Asuma Sarutobi had abandoned his previous apathy and had been training desperately every day.

Everything was for this moment, to defeat Mirai Uchiha with his own hands in front of everyone!

However, in contrast to Asuma Sarutobi's excitement, Mirai Uchiha's face remained as calm as an ancient well.

"Asuma, you're too naive.

"Strength is not the only criterion for catching a girl's attention.

"Whether you're strong or not, Kurenai won't like you."

After saying this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Mirai Uchiha's lips. "Besides, in front of me, no matter how much you shout, you're nothing but a buzzing fly.

"I'm already studying my next opponent."

Upon hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Asuma Sarutobi clenched his fists, his eyes filled with rage.

What, I'm a fly?

He's already studying his next opponent before the fight even started?

This is complete disregard for me.

Damn arrogant!

"Alright, get ready.

"The fight begins!"

Oiwa Kimiyama barely suppressed a smile.

That Mirai Uchiha really had a venomous tongue.

To prevent Asuma Sarutobi's mental state from collapsing before the fight even began, he quickly announced the start of the battle.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

As soon as Oiwa Kimiyama finished speaking, several sounds of air being cut were heard.

Several shurikens flew toward Mirai Uchiha from all directions.

Asuma Sarutobi closely followed, and as Mirai Uchiha turned to dodge the shurikens, he lunged at him with a steel kunai.

"Too slow."

Mirai Uchiha snorted disdainfully and lifted his leg to kick Asuma Sarutobi in the chest.

Asuma Sarutobi seemed to anticipate this, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and using the momentum from Mirai Uchiha's attack, flipped backward in mid-air as his hands rapidly formed seals.

"Fire Style: Ash Cloud Jutsu!"

A cloud of high-temperature ash instantly engulfed Mirai Uchiha's figure.

Immediately after, Asuma Sarutobi gritted his teeth, and a spark instantly ignited the entire ash cloud.

Boom!

A violent roar echoed continuously, and even the ground began to tremble slightly.

"Is... is that... a ninjutsu?"

"As expected of Lord Hokage's son, he's already able to release such a powerful ninjutsu."

"He's gone too far, they didn't kill Mirai Uchiha, did they?"

"So this is a battle between ninjas!"

Upon seeing Asuma Sarutobi's fire jutsu, all the candidates displayed an expression of horror.

Could it be...?

In just a few seconds, had the battle already ended?

Even Kurenai Yūhi, who had always been confident in Mirai Uchiha, was now nervously looking at the center of the field, her forehead covered in a thick layer of sweat.

"Mirai, please, I hope nothing happens to you!"

"Hahahaha... I've won!"

A smug smile appeared on Asuma Sarutobi's face.

Having been hit by that ninjutsu, Mirai Uchiha should have lost the ability to fight.

Hmph!

Let's see if you dare be as arrogant as before, you conceited guy!

"Are you celebrating too soon?"

Mirai Uchiha's mocking voice suddenly sounded next to his ear, and Asuma Sarutobi instantly paled.

How is this possible?

How could Mirai Uchiha have appeared behind him?

Before he could understand, Asuma Sarutobi felt his feet leave the ground as he was brutally kicked through the air.

Immediately after, a long sword emitting a cold aura was precisely planted next to Asuma Sarutobi's neck.

Gulp...

Looking at the blade just inches away, Asuma Sarutobi couldn't help but swallow.

If the blade had veered a little further, his neck would have already been pierced.

"Fight over, winner: Mirai Uchiha!" shouted Oiwa Kimiyama, announcing the result of the fight.

The place immediately became a buzz of excitement.

No one expected the turn of events to be so quick.

Asuma Sarutobi, who had seemed to have the victory assured just moments ago, was now lying on the ground in the blink of an eye.

"As expected of the genius of the Uchiha clan, he's too strong."

"I knew I shouldn't have had hopes for Asuma, how could a guy like Mirai Uchiha lose!"

"One can only say Asuma is strong, but unfortunately, Mirai Uchiha is even stronger."

Mirai Uchiha silently descended from the field. Before his eyes, the semi-transparent panel appeared again.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully looting the reward: Constitution +1!]

[Name: Mirai Uchiha]

[Constitution: 26]

[Mental Strength: 25]

[Chakra: 17]

[Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan]

[Ninjutsu: ...]

[Others: ...]

With the increase in his constitution, Mirai Uchiha felt his physical condition strengthen a little more, which made him sigh in excitement.

It feels so good to have a system!

"Mirai, are you okay?" Kurenai Yūhi asked worriedly as she saw Mirai Uchiha approaching.

Just a moment ago, she had been genuinely scared.

"If a guy like this could be an obstacle for me, then my path would end here," Mirai Uchiha said indifferently.

Upon hearing his words, Kurenai Yūhi's eyes sparkled with admiration.

"As expected of Mirai, how cool!"

The exam continued.

The losers faced the losers, and the winners faced the winners.

Mirai Uchiha swept through every round, making his way to first place.

The exam was nearing its end.

"Indeed, it's the first place. Mirai Uchiha is too strong, no one is his opponent."

"Ugh... even though I don't want to admit it, I have to say he really has talent."

"Damn it, why don't I have talent like that!"

No one was surprised to see Mirai Uchiha take first place.

Even Obito Uchiha had to admit that Mirai Uchiha's strength had already surpassed his by far.

"Wait a moment.

"There's still one more match."

Upon hearing Oiwa Kimiyama's words, everyone was somewhat perplexed.

Another match?

Wasn't it over already?

"Ahem... according to the instructions of Lord Third Hokage, Kakashi Hatake, who graduated early, will also participate in this graduation exam.

"According to the rules, his opponent will be Mirai Uchiha, who just took first place."

What?!

Oiwa Kimiyama's words caused a huge stir among the crowd.

Kakashi Hatake?

That Kakashi Hatake, hailed as "Konoha's number one genius"?

He was also participating in this graduation exam?
