Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 42: Grip Strengthener, Counterattack

Three days passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the vacation that Xihihong gave to Class 8 was over.

During these three days, Izayoi and the Hinata sisters visited almost all the famous attractions in Konoha.

All three of them prepared an album, which was already filled with a large number of photos.

Looking at the smiles on the two girls' faces, Shizayoi felt that he had made the right choice by buying this camera.

After the holiday, Izayoi started to work hard and was full of motivation, which surprised Yuhi Kurenai and Aburame Shino.

Hinata then remembered something and felt a little guilty.

"Izayoi-kun, I'll give you my reward."

After Team 8 was disbanded, Hinata handed the envelope containing the banknotes to Izayoi.

"No, I'm not starving yet."

Izayoi pushed the envelope back, pinched Hinata's face, and said with a smile: "When I can't afford to eat anymore, I will come to you, the eldest lady, to support me."

"Ah."

Hinata didn't lower her head shyly this time because her attention was not here.

Seeing that Izayoi refused, Hinata did not insist, but prepared to use all the reward to buy food.

Hinata now realized that Izayoi had always wanted to buy a camera, but just couldn't afford it.

The reason is that she eats too much.

Ever since bringing Hanabi along to find Izayoi, the two of them rarely go out for picnics, and it is always Izayoi who goes out to buy the ingredients.

Hinata, who lived a comfortable life, never noticed it.

Only now did she realize that Izayoi's conditions were not comparable to hers.

Thinking of this, Hinata's eyes reddened slightly and her heart was filled with emotion.

She decided that she would work hard to make money in the future and share the pressure with Izayoi-kun.

Izayoi didn't know what Hinata was thinking, nor did he notice Hinata's changes.

Because his attention at this moment was attracted by someone.

The other person was not a handsome man or beautiful woman, but an old man with dark skin.

There was a wooden box next to him and a bottle of wine in his hand, but he was reluctant to drink it all and only took a small sip each time.

He was sitting on a bench, seemingly waiting for someone, or perhaps he had no money to stay in a hotel.

This is a person from another village who can be identified at a glance.

There are many people from other villages like this coming in and out of Konoha every day.

They could be natives of the Fire Nation or foreigners from other countries.

Shizaye had seen countless people from other villages like this since he was a child.

But no one could attract his attention like this old man.

Seeing this old man, the memories that had been buried deep in Shizayoi's mind, so vague that he could not even recall them, gradually became clearer.

Although it was the first time she met the old man, Izayoi was able to tell his name.

Dazna!
The bridge builder of Wave Country.

The client of Team 7's first C-rank mission.

The important characters and famous scenes of the first chapter flashed through Izayoi's mind like a slide show.

"Izayoi-kun, what are you looking at?"

At this moment, Hinata's voice brought Izayoi back to his senses.

He smiled and shook his head: "I didn't see anything, I was just daydreaming and remembered something."

"whats the matter?"

"The village will hold the Chunin Exam in just over a month. Do you think we should participate?"

"of course."

Hinata nodded vigorously and said seriously, "I want to become a Jonin as soon as possible."

"Oh? Why?" Izayoi's attention was immediately drawn to her, and she looked at Hinata with curiosity.

He was just trying to change the subject.

Unexpectedly, Hinata, who has never had any aspirations, actually has such a goal.

"secret."

Hinata suddenly imitated Izayoi and put her index finger in front of her mouth. Izayoi was slightly stunned.

"whee……"

Seeing Izayoi's stunned look, Hinata smiled happily.

"Okay, you've actually learned how to tease people."

Izayoi reacted immediately and rubbed Hinata's face with his hands, saying viciously: "Believe it or not, I will punish you by making you a gripper!"

"Wh…what's a handgrip?"

Hinata's voice was unclear as her face was being rubbed.

"Want to know? I'll tell you when I get home."

Izayoi had a wicked smile on his face and was about to drag Hinata home to work out.

Just then, a greeting came from far away.

"Hey... Izayoi, Hinata, long time no see."

Looking in the direction where the sound came from, a tall figure and three short figures immediately caught the eyes of Izayoi and Hinata.

Silver hair, dead fish eyes, blonde hair, fox face, cold handsome boy, cheongsam-wearing nymphomaniac girl...it was exactly Class 7.

Looking at Uzumaki Naruto waving towards them, Izayoi raised his hand in response and said with a smile: "Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, long time no see."

Two months have passed since graduation.

For Izayoi and the others, it had indeed been a long time since they last saw each other.

After all, the Ninja School has three semesters a year, and the summer vacation is just a little longer.

"Are you two dating?"

The first words Uchiha Sasuke said when he approached made Hinata's cheeks blush with embarrassment.

Haruno Sakura looked at Hinata with envy.

They were all on the same team with the most popular person in the class and the person they liked. When would the relationship between him and Sasuke be like that with Hinata and Izayoi?

Izayoi didn't answer, but asked, "Are you going on a mission?"

"We're going to take the mission."

Uzumaki Naruto pointed at Hatake Kakashi, who was walking and reading a pornographic book on the street, and said, "He is Kakashi-sensei, our guiding jonin."

"Kakashi Jonin."

Izayoi and Hinata immediately called out politely.

"Hey, hello."

Seeing that they were talking about him, Hatake Kakashi put down the intimate paradise in his hand and raised his hand to greet Izayoi and Hinata.

Then he looked at the two people whose height and build far surpassed Naruto, Sasuke and Haruno Sakura. Even if Kakashi Hatake didn't pull up his forehead protector, he could still see their chakra volume, which was definitely better than Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura.

So, he looked at Izayoi and deliberately fanned the flames, saying, "Is this the top student? Not bad, not bad. He's definitely not comparable to the geniuses and the laggards in our class."

Kakashi Hatake thought that Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke would look unhappy, but he found that they didn't care at all.

Even Sakura Haruno and Hinata thought that what Kakashi Hatake said was correct.

Seeing this, Hatake Kakashi immediately gave Izayoi a very high evaluation in his heart.

Even Uchiha Sasuke, who had awakened the Sharingan and evolved it to the second magatama, and could easily use the House of Fire Jutsu and the Great Dragon Fire Jutsu, thought it was natural to lose to him.

It seems that this generation also has dazzling civilian talents.

"Kakashi, you're too kind. Naruto and Sasuke are both excellent ninjas, and Sakura is always among the top three in academic subjects. I'm just lucky enough to be a little ahead of them in overall grades." Izayoi smiled modestly before complimenting, "Kakashi is a renowned 'Copy Ninja' in the ninja world. He's a 'Konoha Technician' who has copied thousands of ninjutsu. He's a direct disciple of the Fourth Hokage and a legendary master of Lightning Release who can cut through lightning. Sasuke and the others are training by your side. In a few months, they'll master a vast array of ninjutsu and completely surpass me."

"..."

The pupils of Hatake Kakashi's dead fish eyes suddenly shrank, and he was sweating profusely.

Sure enough, he immediately saw Team 7 staring at him with wide eyes, and he felt that he was doomed.

"Teacher Kakashi, you are so powerful!"

Uzumaki Naruto pointed at Hatake Kakashi and shouted, "You are the disciple of the Fourth Hokage and have mastered thousands of ninjutsu, but you are unwilling to teach us ninjutsu?"

"Teacher Kakashi, you've gone too far." Haruno Sakura also echoed the accusation.

Uchiha Sasuke didn't say anything, but the look he gave Hatake Kakashi was full of passion.

At the same time, there was a hint of...contempt.

Kakashi Hatake knew that he couldn't take it easy anymore.

The culprit, Izayoi, had already slipped away with Hinata.
