**Chapter 9: The First Genius Ninja in Konoha**
Hearing his name, Uchiha Mirai walked slowly to the center of the field under the gaze of everyone.
Sarutobi Asuma excitedly used the Body Flicker Technique to appear before Uchiha Mirai.
"Uchiha Mirai, this time I will defeat you in front of everyone and let Hong know who the real strong one is!"
Since being easily defeated by Uchiha Mirai st time, Sarutobi Asuma had changed from his previous state of decadence and had been training hard every day.
Just for this moment: to defeat Uchiha Mirai with his own hands in front of everyone!
However, compared to Sarutobi Asuma's excitement, Uchiha Mirai wore a calm expression.
"Asuma, you are too childish."
"Strength and weakness are not the only criteria for attracting girls' attention."
"No matter if you are strong or not, Hong will not like you."
After saying that, Uchiha Mirai showed a contemptuous smile: "What's more, in front of me, you are just a buzzing fly, no matter how loud you are."
"I'm already studying my next opponent."
Hearing Uchiha Mirai's words, Sarutobi Asuma clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger.
Am I a fly?
Studying the next opponent before the fight even starts?
This is completely disrespectful!
Arrogant bastard!
"Okay, get ready."
"The battle begins!"
Oiwa Kimiyama suppressed his ughter.
Uchiha Mirai is really too venomous.
In order to prevent Asuma Sarutobi from losing his mentality before the game started, he quickly announced the start of the battle.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As soon as Oiwa Kimiyama finished speaking, several sounds broke through the air.
Several shurikens rushed toward Uchiha Mirai from all directions.
Sarutobi Asuma followed closely behind, dodging the shurikens and stabbing Uchiha Mirai with a steel kunai in his hand.
"Too slow."
Uchiha Mirai snorted, raised his leg, and kicked Sarutobi Asuma's chest.
Sarutobi Asuma seemed to have anticipated it. He crossed his arms in front of his chest. Taking advantage of Uchiha Mirai's attack, he did a backflip in the air and quickly formed seals with his hands.
"Fire Style: Ashes Burning!"
A cloud of high-temperature ash instantly engulfed Uchiha Mirai.
Immediately afterward, Sarutobi Asuma bit his lip, igniting a spark that set the entire cloud of ash abze.
Boom!
Violent roars echoed, and the earth began to tremble slightly.
"Is this... Ninjutsu?!"
"As expected of Hokage-sama's son, he is now able to unleash such powerful Ninjutsu."
"It's too chaotic; Uchiha Mirai won't be killed, right?"
"Is this a battle between ninjas?"
Seeing Sarutobi Asuma's Fire Style, all the candidates wore horrified expressions.
Could it be that...
Was the battle over in just a few seconds?
Even Yūhi Kurenai, who had always been confident about Uchiha Mirai, looked nervously toward the center of the field, sweat beads forming on her forehead.
You must not let anything happen to you, Mirai!
"Hahaha... I won!"
A triumphant smile appeared on Sarutobi Asuma's face.
Hit by that Ninjutsu, Uchiha Mirai had definitely lost the ability to fight.
Hmph!
Arrogant guy, let's see if you dare to be as arrogant as before!
"Are you too proud too early?"
Uchiha Mirai's joking voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Sarutobi Asuma was instantly shocked.
How is that possible?
How could Uchiha Mirai appear behind him?
Before he could figure it out, Asuma felt his legs leave the ground and was kicked hard.
Immediately afterward, a long knife exuding coldness was accurately pressed against Sarutobi Asuma's neck.
"Gulu..."
Looking at the bde so close, Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but swallow hard.
If the bde had deflected just a little further, his neck would have been pierced by now.
"The battle is over; the winner is Uchiha Mirai!"
Oiwa Kimiyama shouted loudly, announcing the result of the match.
The scene erupted in agitation.
No one expected the reversal to come so quickly.
Sarutobi Asuma, who had been so confident only moments ago, was lying on the ground in the blink of an eye.
"As expected of the genius of the Uchiha cn; he's incredible."
"Sure enough, I shouldn't have hoped for Asuma. How could someone like Uchiha Mirai lose?"
"It can only be said that Asuma is very strong, but it's a pity that Uchiha will be stronger."
Uchiha Mirai walked silently down the field, and before him, a translucent panel appeared again.

With the increase in his physical fitness, Uchiha Mirai felt himself becoming stronger, prompting a sigh of contentment.
The feeling of cheating is so good!
"Mirai, are you not injured?"
Seeing Uchiha Mirai approach, Yūhi Kurenai immediately asked with concern.
She had truly been scared just moments earlier.
"If guys like this can pose obstacles to me, then my path will end here."
Uchiha Mirai said calmly.
Hearing his words, Yūhi Kurenai's eyes sparkled.
It is indeed Mirai; so cool!
The next match continued.
Losers faced off against losers, and winners faced off against winners.
Uchiha Mirai crushed all the way through and surged to first pce.
As the exam neared its conclusion.
"As expected, he is number one. Uchiha Mirai is too strong; no one is his opponent."
"Sigh... Even though I really don't want to admit it, I have to say he is incredibly capable."
"Damn it, why don't I have such good talent!"
No one was surprised to see Uchiha Mirai take first pce.
Even Uchiha Obito had to concede that Uchiha Mirai's strength was far beyond his own.
"Wait a moment."
"There's still a fight to come."
After hearing what Oiwa Kimiyama said, everyone was a little puzzled.
Another battle?
Isn't it over already?
"Ahem... According to the instructions of Lord Third Hokage, Hatake Kakashi, who graduated early, will also take the graduation exam this time."
"According to the rules, his opponent is Uchiha Mirai, who just won first pce."
What?!
Oiwa Kimiyama's words caused a stir in the crowd.
Hatake Kakashi?
That Hatake Kakashi known as "Konoha's most talented ninja"?
He is taking the graduation exam this time too?
