Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 156 Izayoi-kun, why is your head so pointy?
"Huh? Why are they fighting?"

The situation on Madara Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha's side was immediately transmitted to the main body by the wood clone.

Upon receiving this news, Izayoi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Could it be that Itachi Uchiha's undercover identity has been exposed?"

As Madara Uchiha extracted Itachi Uchiha's soul, Izayoi was about to give the order for his wood clone to use the Heavenly Delivery Technique to airdrop a human puppet and steal Itachi's body.

After all, Itachi Uchiha's eyes were the key to Sasuke Uchiha obtaining the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

But soon, he saw Madara Uchiha put the soul back in, seemingly indicating that he no longer intended to kill Itachi Uchiha.

Izayoi also abandoned this idea and began to analyze it in her mind.

"Itachi Uchiha's undercover identity has definitely been exposed."

"Since Madara Uchiha didn't kill him, it's either because of his promise to Izuna Uchiha; or because he admired talent and thought that the living Itachi Uchiha was more useful than the reanimated Itachi Uchiha; or... he set his sights on Sasuke Uchiha, who was very similar to Izuna Uchiha, and wanted to use Itachi Uchiha as a whetstone to forge a second pair of Mangekyou Sharingan."

Izayoi felt that the last one was highly likely.

Madara Uchiha's goal was to sever the causality of the world and use Infinite Tsukuyomi to send everyone into a dream world.

To achieve this goal, he was willing to use any means necessary, even dragging the kind-hearted Uchiha Obito into darkness.

Even if Sasuke Uchiha, who looks very much like his younger brother, stood in his way, he would kill him without hesitation.

In his eyes, he was someone who sacrificed a small number of people so that the vast majority of people could be happy.

In the original work, Madara Uchiha was one of the few who was not affected by Naruto Uzumaki's talk-no-jutsu.

His will was as firm as a rock, and no external force could shake it.

However, that was Madara Uchiha during the final battle of Shippuden. Even though every second counted then, he still patiently invited Sasuke Uchiha to join him.

Sasuke Uchiha refused, so he killed him.

However, the Three-Tails has not yet been resurrected, but Madara Uchiha has been resurrected ahead of time.

Uchiha Sasuke currently lacks the strength to hinder him.

Even Izayoi would have a hard time guessing Madara Uchiha's thoughts.

He didn't care too much, as long as Itachi Uchiha wasn't dead.

"Izayoi-kun, your Jonin disguise is ready, and I've brought it back to you."

Just then, Hinata's voice reached my ears.

Turning to look at the girl who had returned with a green vest, Izayoi reached out and pulled her into his arms. He first gently nibbled on her cheek, then pressed his forehead against hers and complained, "Hinata, aren't you my teammate? Why have you been going to the Hokage's office every day lately? You didn't become the Hokage's apprentice, did you?"

Seeing Izayoi acting childishly, Hinata smiled gently and nuzzled back, taking the opportunity to smear the saliva on her face back onto Izayoi's face, and then explained, "I didn't become the Hokage's apprentice. I just worked there as a secretary, learning how to handle affairs with Karin and Shizune."

"Why did you suddenly decide to become a secretary? Did the Hokage trick you?" Izayoi asked suspiciously.

"Because I need to familiarize myself with the process first."

Hinata wrapped her arms around Izayoi's neck, rubbed her forehead against his, their noses touching, and breaths pattering together. Her face flushed slightly as she smiled and said, "That way, when Izayoi-kun becomes the Sixth Hokage, I can be of help."

Izayoi was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said, "In that case, I have no choice but to become Hokage."

"whee……"

Hinata smiled and kissed Izayoi's cheek, then gently raised her small hand to tidy up his messy bangs.

Suddenly, Hinata seemed to touch something, her movements paused, and then she touched it again with a puzzled look on her face. Finally, she looked at Izayoi with a strange gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Izayoi-kun, why is your head so pointy?"

"Because I'm about to grow horns." Izayoi still didn't hide anything from Hinata.

"Horns?"

This answer was clearly beyond Hinata's comprehension, and she couldn't help but tilt her head cutely, looking at Izayoi with a puzzled expression.

Izayoi didn't speak, but silently dispelled the Wood Transformation Technique.

Black hair turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As if sensing the flow of chakra, Hinata's beautiful eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Izayoi-kun, why is your hair white? Did you dye it?"

"It wasn't dyed, it's a genetic mutation."

Hinata immediately understood and asked, "Is it because of those eyes?"

"Hmm." Izayoi nodded without offering any further explanation.

The matter of the Otsutsuki clan is still too far away for Hinata; now is not the time to shatter the worldview of a young girl.

Upon learning that it was due to the Tenseigan, Hinata breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she curiously touched Izayoi's hair and the two small, somewhat sharp bumps, exclaiming, "The Sage's Eye is truly amazing; it can even turn into white hair and horns."

"Is Hinata scared?" Izayoi asked with a smile.

"Hehe...that depends on what kind of horns Izayoi-kun has."

Hinata covered her mouth and chuckled, "If it's a ram's horn, then Hanabi and I won't dare to take a nap with you."

"Then I'll grow rhinoceros horns and smash Hinata to death."

Izayoi pretended to be angry and rammed her head into Hinata's proud chest, rubbing against her through her kimono.

Hinata laughed and hugged Izayoi's head, and the two of them started playfully wrestling in the living room of the villa.

……

"cheers!"

That evening, Izayoi and the other three held a simple banquet at a restaurant in a traditional building to celebrate Izayoi becoming a Jonin.

They clinked their glasses full of juice together, and Hanabi immediately moved closer to Izayoi, her face beaming with excitement. "Onii-chan, you're a Jonin now, do you remember what you promised Hanabi?"

"What did you promise?" Izayoi asked, feigning ignorance.

"Onii-chan, you broke your promise!"

Hanabi immediately shouted angrily, "You clearly promised Hanabi that once you became a Jonin, you would allow me to apply for early graduation and then become my personal Jonin mentor!"

"Really?" Izayoi asked again, feigning doubt. "Did I promise anything like that?"

This time, Hanabi didn't break down and shout. Instead, she bit her lower lip, her eyes welling up with tears, and looked at Izayoi with a pitiful expression.

Izayoi felt a deep sense of guilt and quickly put down his juice, pulling his sister-in-law into his arms and saying, "Onii-chan, I remember now, there was such a thing."

"Hanabi, stop being naughty," Hinata scolded sternly. "Izayoi-kun has important things to do and doesn't have time to take you on missions."

"Sister is lying, Onii-chan doesn't have anything important to do."

Hanabi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, pouted, and said, "Don't think Hanabi doesn't know your Team 8! Now that Onii-chan has become a Jonin, you and Karin-neechan are working as secretaries for the Hokage, and Shino-nii-san applied for the Anbu exam after becoming a Chunin. The Hokage even said that it's such a waste for the three of you to be on a mission together."

Hinata was speechless after being rebuked.

Karin chuckled to herself, covering her mouth. Hanabi continued to complain, "Besides, with Onii-chan's current reputation, he'll probably become the Sixth Hokage in a few years. By then, Onii-chan will definitely be too busy with other matters to be my mentor Jonin."

Izayoi rubbed Hanabi's head and praised her with a smile, "Hanabi's intelligence gathering and analysis skills are indeed worthy of graduating early. In that case, I'll talk to my uncle tomorrow. If he agrees, I'll apply to the Hokage to become your personal Jonin instructor."

There are cases in Konoha of a person serving as a Jonin instructor to only one person, or of a person taking only one disciple.

Orochimaru and Mitarashi Anko are a perfect example.

“I spoke to my father about it last time, and his answer was the same as my sister’s.”

Hanabi wrapped her arms around Izayoi's neck, rubbing her face against his cheek, and said in a spoiled tone, "But as long as Onii-chan intervenes, I'm sure Father will agree. Please, Onii-chan~~"

Izayoi is completely melted by her cuteness.

Seeing Izayoi's expression, Hinata knew the outcome and could only helplessly cover her forehead.

Karin asked curiously, "Hanabi, why do you want to graduate early?"

"Because it's so boring."

Hanabi sat on Izayoi's lap and sighed helplessly, "I'm too strong. If I'm not careful, I might hurt my classmates. They can't even learn one of the Three Body Techniques yet, but I can already use the Shadow Clone Technique. I know everything the Ninja Academy teaches, and I also know things they don't teach. It feels like I'm in prison every day at school."

"Heh...hehe, I see." Karin could only respond with an awkward laugh.

Having experienced a bleak childhood, she truly couldn't understand the feelings of a fireworks genius.

Hinata, however, seemed to understand.

During her time at the Ninja Academy, she probably would have found it very boring if it weren't for Izayoi's company.

After all, with Izayoi's guidance, Hinata's strength made her the undisputed master of physical combat in her class, and she consistently ranked among the top three in overall academic performance.

Moreover, their class was very special, as many of their classmates were heirs of various ninja clans and possessed exceptional talent.

In contrast, Hanabi's generation had no ninja clan members besides Konohamaru.

Even if they did, their talent was far inferior to that of fireworks.

Because Hanabi's current chakra is truly astonishing.

In terms of Soft Fist, he was able to perform Bagua Sixty-Four Palms very early on, and may have already been practicing the secret techniques of Soft Fist.

Such strength is truly a waste at the Ninja Academy.

Izayoi thought so too.

So, he patted Hanabi's head and said with a smile, "Okay, then Onii-chan will go and persuade Uncle tomorrow to let Hanabi graduate early."

"Really? That's great! Onii-chan, Hanabi loves you to death..." Hanabi immediately cheered in Izayoi's arms.

"Izayoi-kun, just keep indulging her," Hinata said helplessly, but she didn't stop her anymore.

……

The following day, Izayoi visited the Hyuga clan again after several months.

Although Izayoi came to Hinata's birthday party last year, he and Hinata have already established a relationship and can freely enter and leave the Hyuga clan.

However, he has only visited the Hyuga clan once since last year, which was to attend Hanabi's birthday party.

There was nothing he could do; the atmosphere here simply wasn't suitable for him.

Izayoi felt extremely uncomfortable spending time with her future father-in-law, who had a stoic expression.

If it weren't for his sister-in-law's matter, Izayoi probably would have waited a while longer before visiting.

"Lord Izayoi!"

Izayoi entered the Hyuga clan's territory without any hindrance, just like coming home.

Along the way, all the Hyuga clan members who saw him, whether they were members of the main family or branch family, bowed to him respectfully.

Many people looked at him with intense, burning gazes.

The female members, in particular, made no secret of their admiration for him.

If Izayoi weren't Hinata's boyfriend and the future son-in-law of the Hyuga clan's main family, these female members probably wouldn't have been able to resist coming up to fawn over him.

This applies not only to women from wealthy families, but also to ordinary women on the street.

On her way here, Izayoi even used the Wood Transformation Technique to disguise herself briefly.

He would also leave in an instant when he went out. Otherwise, if he opened the door openly, Izayoi would cause a huge commotion on the street and be surrounded by a large number of civilians who had come to see him and were waiting outside.

Izayoi's current reputation is just outrageous.

After the final battle, Izayoi was recognized as one of the four super-powerful fighters in the ninja world, and also the strongest among the five great ninja villages.

In this world where the five great nations rule the ninja world, Izayoi is not only the rightful heir of the Senju clan in Konoha, but also the hope in the fight against evil.

Madara Uchiha and the leader of the Akatsuki organization have both been labeled as evil and villains.

The five great nations would rather Izayoi and Toneri Otsutsuki win than see Madara Uchiha and the Akatsuki leader's conspiracy succeed.

After the Five Shadows Conference, the daimyo of the five great powers signed an alliance agreement with each other.

From now on, ninjas from the five great nations can freely enter and leave their countries.

Although they did not form a ninja alliance to attack Madara Uchiha and the leader of Akatsuki, they made it clear that if Akatsuki made any move against the five great nations, the five great nations would immediately unite.

"Uncle, it's been a long time."

"It's been a long time, Izayoi. Welcome to the Hyuga clan."

At the entrance of the clan head's mansion, Izayoi once again spotted Hyuga Hiashi and his two daughters ahead of time.

It was this etiquette that made Izayoi feel uncomfortable all over.

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so he could only bow and greet Hiashi Hyuga.

After bowing in return, Hiashi Hyuga suddenly said seriously, "You've come at the right time. I have something to tell you and Hinata. Come in with me."

Upon hearing this, Izayoi and Hinata exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion and surprise in each other's eyes.

However, on the surface, Izayoi nodded: "Yes, Uncle."

After Hyuga Hiashi entered the house, Izayoi and the other two followed closely behind.

"Hanabi, wait for us here."

As they passed through the hall, Hiashi Hyuga stopped Hanabi, who was trying to sneak in, and sternly instructed her, "Don't sneak in here, and don't activate your Byakugan, or I will punish you severely."

"Yes, Father." Hanabi pouted, looking sullen.
