Two days passed like a white steed, leaving little trace in the long river of life.
The day Fujiwara Tetsuya had been waiting for finally arrived.
"Tetsuya, let's go!"
Outside the Ninja Academy, Sanjido Suzuko had also changed into a tight-fitting outfit.
Unlike Fujiwara Tetsuya, Sanjido Suzuko's clothes perfectly showcased her slender figure in front of him.
However, today, Fujiwara Tetsuya clearly didn't have the leisure to let his mind wander.
"Yes, Sanjido-sensei!"
Behind Fujiwara Tetsuya, he still carried that ordinary, almost too ordinary, wakizashi.
At his waist, he wore a Ninja tool pouch, several times used, that he had gotten from Tanaka Jiro.
Although his attire and equipment were subpar!
It still couldn't hide the sharp aura that was gradually brewing around Fujiwara Tetsuya.
The gains from the past two days at Training Ground No. 37 far exceeded Fujiwara Tetsuya's expectations.
Even without the system's mission buff, after successively killing over a dozen fierce beasts, Fujiwara Tetsuya had accumulated 219 points of Slaughter Value.
He successfully advanced the Water Release: Water Clone Technique, which he had just started, to an intermediate proficiency level. As for the remaining Slaughter Value, Fujiwara Tetsuya put it all into Water Release: Water Prison Technique.

Kekkei Genkai: None

The panel was still sparse!
But as long as today's weather was good!
It might produce unexpected results.
Gazing at the clouds gradually drifting across the sky, Fujiwara Tetsuya's steps gradually slowed.
Konoha Training Ground No. 24.
This was a place where many Chunin and Genin frequently appeared in the past, but now there was no trace of them.
The reason for all of this was that Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi had arrived.
Training Ground No. 24 had been cleared by the Anbu.
The moment the dark clouds completely enveloped Training Ground No. 24, Fujiwara Tetsuya arrived.
However, when he scanned the numerous figures on the high platform not far away.
His calm, resolute face finally showed a hint of agitation.
Those outfits!
He was all too familiar with them!
Konoha's Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!
Proficient in all five elemental Ninjutsu, known as Konoha's "Strongest Hokage," Professor of Ninjutsu, and Hero of Shinobi.
Although there was some exaggeration, for the current Ninja World, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was in his prime, was definitely an extremely terrifying individual.
Where Konoha dances, fire will burn!
A simple sentence that almost ran through his youth.
However, compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi!
What surprised Fujiwara Tetsuya even more was that those three would also be here today.
Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru!
Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze lingered on the three of them for a moment before quickly moving away.
At present, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru had not yet grown to the level of the future Sannin, but for him now, they were insurmountable powerhouses.
Not to be provoked!
As he pondered, Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze suddenly fell on a long-haired, straight-haired girl not far away.
That outfit!
Is she from the Uchiha Clan?
It seems she is my opponent.
But, she's so pleasing to the eye!
I just don't know if this young lady has awakened her Sharingan yet.
"Hokage-sama!"
At Sanjido Suzuko's urging, Fujiwara Tetsuya reluctantly withdrew his prying gaze and followed Sanjido Suzuko to the base of the high platform.
"Hmm!"
"Fujiwara Tetsuya!"
As the protagonist of today, Fujiwara Tetsuya was destined to attract most people's attention.
Looking at Fujiwara Tetsuya's young face, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but recall the Anbu's report on Fujiwara Tetsuya's secret investigation two days prior.
Having understood all of Fujiwara Tetsuya's past, he naturally also knew the reason why Fujiwara Tetsuya was so eager to apply for early graduation.
The Torifu Clan!
However, that was Koharu's clan after all!
If possible, he didn't want to make Koharu difficult.
But everything is never absolute.
He was, after all, the Hokage of Konoha. As long as Fujiwara Tetsuya could show sufficient aptitude.
Or to put it more directly, demonstrate enough value.
He wouldn't mind giving a little push to Fujiwara, Tanaka, and Uesugi.
It was with this inexplicable expectation!
That he called his disciples, who had just arrived to submit their missions, to come along.
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
The moment he responded, Fujiwara Tetsuya's body straightened.
There was no hint of timidity! Fear! Unease!
At this moment, in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he no longer represented himself, but the Fujiwara, Tanaka, and Uesugi Three Clans.
He knew very well!
Only by demonstrating enough potential would this Hero of Shinobi place his bets.
"Not bad!"
"Are you ready!"
"Hokage-sama, I am already ready! We can start!"
He didn't know when!
A light rain had gradually begun to fall from the sky, slowly turning into a downpour.
The weather he had been hoping for had finally arrived.
"Uchiha Mikoto Genin!"
To Fujiwara Tetsuya's surprise, Uchiha Mikoto instantly appeared beside him.
Uchiha Mikoto!
Looking at the side profile of this beautiful girl with long, straight black hair beside him.
Fujiwara Tetsuya's emotions surged like a tumultuous sea, constantly rising and falling.
His Genin exam opponent was actually Uchiha Mikoto.
The future clan head of the Uchiha, Uchiha Fugaku's wife.
Itachi-sama and Sasuke's future mother.
After staring at Uchiha Mikoto for more than ten seconds, Fujiwara Tetsuya finally withdrew his gaze.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru had all appeared!
It seemed that one more Uchiha Mikoto wasn't something too hard to accept.
However, thinking of Uchiha Fugaku's mature, old man's face, Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't help but sigh!
The reason Itachi-sama and Sasuke were so handsome!
Was all thanks to Uchiha Mikoto's good genes.
"Tetsuya, Mikoto Genin is your assessment opponent today!"
"As long as you can last ten minutes against Mikoto Genin without losing!"
"You will pass the assessment!"
"I will officially grant you the title of Genin!"
After returning to her clan and receiving guidance from the elders, Uchiha Mikoto was already able to skillfully control her single-tomoe Sharingan.
She could fully unleash the power contained within those eyes.
Her combat strength was far beyond what ordinary Genin could match.
"I understand, Hokage-sama!"
"I will do my best!"
"Mikoto Genin! I'll be troubling you!"
Among his peers, Fujiwara Tetsuya's height was not short, approximately 1.3 meters.
But when facing Uchiha Mikoto, he was almost a head shorter.
Although it was due to age!
For a man, height is always a psychological wound that is hard to heal.
