Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 24 The tacit understanding between Izayoi and his father-in-law

Just like what Izayoi said to Hinata.

The graduation assessment does not take long.

After just a short chat, other students who passed the graduation examination came to the playground one after another.

Not long after, Umino Iruka also came over.

This means that the familiar faces who are not here are those who failed the graduation assessment and were eliminated.

If you look closely, you'll notice the only familiar face not here is Uzumaki Naruto.

"Classmates, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Umino Iruka held up a file board and said with a smile, "Everyone, put on your forehead protectors. Now I'll take you to take your file photos."

"Iruka-sensei, where do I wear the forehead protector?"

A classmate raised his hand and asked.

"Anywhere on the upper body is fine." said Umino Iruka.

So, the students all wore the forehead protectors on their foreheads, tied them on their arms, hung them around their necks, or used them as headbands, etc.

Hinata is one of those who hangs around the neck.

Izayoi tied it on his left arm.

Once everyone was dressed, Umino Iruka led them to the rooftop of the complex.

The photographer had been waiting there for a long time with a standing camera.

After queuing up to take their file photos, the students couldn't wait to leave the comprehensive building, either walking slowly or rushing to the school gate.

The school gate was already full of parents.

Some parents were comforting their eliminated children, while others were looking at the school with anticipation.

They all knew that those who hadn't come out yet were all Genin who had passed the graduation examination.

With the appearance of the students, the school gate suddenly became lively.

But this lively scene hurt some orphans without parents.

They either looked at the scene with envy, or ran out of the school without even daring to look.

Uchiha Sasuke is both the former and the latter.

With just an envious glance, he turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Izayoi does not belong to the former or the latter.

because……

"Onii-chan, sister, here, here..."

At the school gate, a girl's voice was particularly loud.

Hanabi, wearing a yellow-brown kimono with flame patterns on the hem of her skirt, was waving her hands towards Izayoi and Hinata.

Seeing this scene, Izayoi's mouth corners slightly raised, and Hinata also smiled faintly.

Before he even reached the school gate, Izayoi knelt down and hugged Hanabi who was rushing towards him.

"Onii-chan, sister, I'm here to pick you up."

Hanabi hugged Izayoi's neck with both hands and immediately noticed the forehead protector on his arm. She asked curiously, "Onii-chan, is this a Genin forehead protector?"

"Well, here you go."

Izayoi nodded, took off the forehead protector and handed it to Hanabi, then picked Hanabi up and smiled at Hinata.

Then the three of them left the school together.

A few years have passed, and Huo Huo, who is now seven years old, has also undergone considerable changes.

In the original novel, at this age, Hanabi still had short hair that reached her shoulders.

However, when she saw her sister growing her hair long, she also deliberately grew her hair long.

Her hair is now waist-length, just like in the movie, and her bangs are tied into braids.

When fighting or exercising, she either wears her hair straight or ties it into a ponytail. With her determined eyes and serious expression, she has a bit of the heroic look in Boruto.

I don't know if it's because of her precocious puberty, but Hanabi's development is much faster than Hinata's. She was expected to grow to 1.7 meters in the future, but now she's already 1.32 meters tall, just over a head shorter than Izayoi.

And Hinata at this age still has baby fat on her face.

But Hanabi's face has lost a lot of baby fat and has become an oval face. Hanabi imitated Hinata, hanging the Genin forehead protector around her neck, and said to Izayoi with a smile: "Onii-chan, to celebrate you and your sister becoming Genin, let's eat hot pot today."

"It's obviously Hanabi you want to eat."

Hinata stretched out her slender jade-like index finger and gently touched Hanabi's forehead.

"whee……"

Hanabi stuck out her tongue sheepishly and said, "Father doesn't allow us to eat this kind of food, but Hanabi really wants to eat hot pot today."

Izayoi was touched by Hanabi's cute look and immediately said, "Okay, let's eat hot pot today."

"Great."

Hanabi cheered immediately, then pushed forward and said, "Onii-chan, I want to ride Gao Gao even more."

"No."

Hinata immediately pouted and scolded, "Hanabi, you're already so tall now, you can't do this kind of thing again."

"I'm only seven years old, what does it matter?"

Hanabi made a face at Hinata, then said coquettishly to Izayoi, "Onii-chan, please."

"no problem."

Izayoi immediately freed up one hand, made a strongman's pose, and said, "Don't even mention she's seven years old. Even if Hanabi is as tall as Onii-chan, she can still ride high."

"As expected of you, Onii-chan."

Hanabi immediately acted in admiration, then got down from Izayoi's arms and sat on his shoulders from behind.

"Really..."

Looking at Izayoi who was walking in front and heading towards the market under the command of Hanabi, Hinata first sighed helplessly, then followed with a doting smile.

whoosh-

Not long after the three of them left, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere at their location.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a member of the Hyuga clan wearing a green vest and having the same eyes as Hinata and Hanabi.

This person is Hua Huo's bodyguard.

Hinata usually has guards when she goes out, so how could Hanabi not have any too?

But for some reason, he did not protect Hanabi personally, but instead guarded her silently in the dark.

Except for Hanabi, Izayoi and Hinata both knew about the existence of the guards.

After six years, although Izayoi has not met Hinata Hiashi yet, he has a tacit understanding with his future father-in-law.

The former is responsible for gently educating Hinata and Hanabi, allowing Hinata and Hanabi, who have lost their mother, to grow up in his care and doting; the latter treats them harshly, making them bear the glory of a wealthy family.

Hinata and Hanabi, who live a high-pressure life at home, are naturally very dependent on Izayoi.

Only in front of Izayoi would Hanabi be as lively as her age, full of playfulness and mischief.

In front of Hinata Hiashi, she is just like in the original book, a very precocious little adult.

The same goes for Hinata.

They went to the market to buy ingredients for hot pot, and also bought Hanabi's favorite glutinous rice balls, bananas, milk, and Hinata's favorite cinnamon rolls. Izayoi took the two girls home to have hot pot.

After eating and drinking, the three of them sat on a long sofa again, digesting their food and chatting.

Hinata, who was sitting next to Izayoi and finally no longer reserved, with her head resting on his shoulder, suddenly said, "Izayoi-kun, it seems that Naruto-kun is the only one in our class who hasn't graduated yet."

"Ah."

Izayoi, who was playing with Hanabi's braided bangs, nodded.

When the two of them walked to the school gate, the first person they noticed was Uzumaki Naruto sitting on the swing.

"Naruto-kun's chakra is so powerful, why can't he even do a clone jutsu?" Hinata asked very confusedly.

"Maybe his chakra control is very average."

Izayoi said casually, "His academic performance is so poor, and his shuriken throwing hasn't improved much. He's always the first to be eliminated in every survival drill. The only thing he shines in is the taijutsu duel. Maybe failing is a good thing."

"Ah."

Recalling Uzumaki Naruto's performance over the past six years, Hinata nodded in agreement.

But she and Hanabi, who was leaning in Izayoi's arms with her eyes squinted as if she was about to fall asleep, did not notice that when Izayoi was perfunctory, a tiny curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
