Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 76 Jealous Hinata, the official game begins

Happy times are always very short.

In the blink of an eye, time came to August 60th, the 8th year of Konoha.

There are only two days left before the official competition of the third exam.

After taking Hanabi out to play for half a month, Izayoi finally said goodbye to Karin who was reluctant to leave, taking away several large scrolls.

But before leaving, Izayoi told Karin, "Karin, there's a scroll on the table in my study that hasn't been put away yet. It contains the method for practicing a technique. After I leave, remember to practice diligently. I hope that by the time I come back later, you'll have mastered that technique."

Hearing that Izayoi would come to see her in a while, Karin immediately perked up and quickly stood at attention and promised, "Yes! I won't let you down, Izayoi-kun."

"Then we'll go back first. Goodbye."

"Sister Karin, bye." Hanabi also waved goodbye to Karin.

Karin smiled and waved, watching as Izayoi carried Hanabi on her back and disappeared in an instant.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Izayoi and Hanabi returned to Konoha on time.

"So many carriages and so many people..."

Walking along the central street, Hanabi looked around and sighed slightly.

"After all, the official Chunin Exam will be held the day after tomorrow, and those ordinary people don't know the technique of instant movement, so they must come here early." Izayoi said with a smile.

"Onii-chan, Hanabi will definitely be there to cheer you on, so don't lose!" Hanabi said to Izayoi while clenching her fist.

"Don't worry, Onii-chan will definitely win." Izayoi stared in a certain direction, his gaze seemed to penetrate all obstacles, a confident smile appeared on his face, and he whispered, "In every aspect."

After sending Hanabi, who had taken out the sealed scroll containing the souvenir, back to the Hyuga clan's doorstep, Izayoi waved goodbye to her and returned home to make final preparations for the grand event that would take place the day after tomorrow.

……

January 60, Konoha 8.

As soon as the sun rose, the central street of Konoha began to become lively and gradually became crowded with people.

When the sun was shining brightly, they even set off fireworks.

Whether they were ordinary civilians or the rich and powerful who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and traveled in carriages or on stretchers, they all rushed to the square of Konoha.

With still an hour to go before the exam, the square was already packed.

Many people who came from other places and foreign countries but failed to get tickets even blocked the entrance and quarreled with the ninjas.

After confirming that they really couldn't get in, they didn't leave, but stayed outside the square, ready to imagine the scene through sound when the time came.

Unfortunately, Ninja's brains were too poor. He didn't keep a batch of tickets inside and then scalp them outside or set up a gambling outside. Otherwise, he would have made a lot of money.

"Izayoi-kun, long time no see."

After a month, Hinata finally walked out of the house and came to Izayoi's house.

The side effects of artistic photos have long been resolved by strong longing.

The moment she saw Izayoi, Hinata took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly with both hands, her tone and eyes full of attachment.

"Long time no see, Hinata."

Izayoi also hugged the girl back tightly, and even though he felt a strong pressure in front of him, he was rare without any distractions.

This is the first time that the two people who have been inseparable since they were six years old have been separated for such a long time.

For Izayoi and Hinata, who have long been accustomed to each other's presence and even cannot live without each other, this month has been very difficult.

It was okay for Shizayoi, after all, he still had his sister-in-law to accompany him.

As for Hinata, this period of time was really torturous.

Especially in the past two days, Hinata has been listening to Hanabi talk about her travels and looking at various photos of Izayoi and Hanabi. She rarely feels jealous of her sister.

So when the vacation was over, she couldn't wait to come find Izayoi.

This separation not only did not make their feelings fade, but made them deeper.

After hugging each other in silence for a while, Izayoi and Hinata separated and started to eat breakfast.

While Hinata was washing the dishes, Izayoi returned to the room, took out one of the birthday gifts Hanabi and Hinata had prepared for him, a white robe with a flame pattern, and the large scrolls brought back from Sakura Street, and walked into the private bathroom.

By the time Hinata put away the dishes and untied her apron, Izayoi had already come out of the room.

Then, the two of them walked out of the house together and headed to Konoha's square.

Konoha Square is a spherical open-air building. Like the special training grounds such as the Death Forest, it is one of the places that is not open to the public unless in special circumstances.

Every time the square is open, it is an important festival.

Entering the square from the contestant passage, the chief examiner and some candidates had already arrived in the spacious examination room.

Looking at the examiner with a thousand books in his mouth, Izayoi knew that the protagonist of Shippuden would not be able to escape death. "I thought you two were so busy dating that you forgot about the exam time."

As soon as Izayoi and Hinata joined the team, they were immediately attacked by Uchiha Sasuke's vicious tongue.

Hinata still looked shy, and Izayoi chuckled and said, "From your looks, it seems like you've had a hard time this month."

"On the contrary, I've been doing great this month." Uchiha Sasuke raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a proud smile: "If we meet in the finals, I promise to surprise you."

"I am looking forward."

Izayoi glanced at Uchiha Sasuke's neck and saw that there was no Heaven's Curse Seal. He knew that he must have been training with Hatake Kakashi during this period, just like in the original story.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should have mastered Lightning Release: Chidori.

This means that Uchiha Sasuke's lightning style has been transformed to a certain level, and he can begin the stage of form change and learn Chidori Style and Raikiri.

The stronger Uchiha Sasuke becomes, the happier Izayoi becomes.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the rest of the candidates arrived one after another.

Just like Uchiha Sasuke was not late, Uzumaki Naruto was not chased by a group of bulls into the examination hall.

In the VIP seats, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru, disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, have also taken their seats.

Taking out his pocket watch to check the time, Shiranui Genma looked at the ten candidates in front of him and said slowly, "Time is up. Any candidate who is not present will automatically forfeit, and their opponent will automatically advance to the next round."

Hearing this, many candidates looked at Uzumaki Naruto.

Of the eleven candidates, only Tos Anvil was absent.

Uzumaki Naruto, who won without a fight, immediately put his hands on his hips and laughed triumphantly: "Hahaha... That guy must be afraid of me, so he took the opportunity to escape."

"Now, let me explain the exam rules." Shiranui Genma took out a file board, crossed out Tos Anvil's name from the list, and said, "You've all read about it in the Ninja School, and you're all familiar with the no-rules duel. The rules of the official tournament are that any means can be used, and there's no responsibility for killing the enemy, because the death consent forms you signed in the second exam are still valid."

"So, those who overestimate their own abilities, it's best to decisively admit defeat at the critical moment, otherwise your death will be in vain. Don't expect me to rescue you at the critical moment."

"Candidate number 2 automatically forfeits. Uzumaki Naruto, who drew number 1, advances to the next round. Then Hinata Hyuga, who drew number 3, and Temari, who drew number 4, will stay. Everyone else goes to the contestant area and waits."

As Shiranui Genma finished speaking, Gaara, Kankuro, and Hyuga Neji left immediately.

Izayoi and Xiaoqiang cheered Hinata on before heading towards the stands in the contestant area.

"Great, the first game is my sister's. Sis, damn!"

Looking at Hinata and Temari who remained on the field, Hanabi in the audience subconsciously shouted loudly.

"Hanabi, pay attention to etiquette." Hinata Hiashi scolded.

"Yes."

Knowing that she couldn't bring shame to her family in public, Hanabi quickly sat up straight with a serious look on her face.

"Hyuga Hinata, right? Are you really promoted to Genin this year?"

On the field, Temari looked at Hinata, who was three years younger than her but had a figure that was far superior to hers, a figure that even mature women might not have. The corners of her eyes and mouth twitched slightly.

Then, thinking back to the intel about a handsome childhood sweetheart who had been top of the class from entrance to graduation, mastered several nature transformations, and developed an S-rank Storm Release technique. Furthermore, after graduation, the two remained team mates, having never been apart since childhood. Even Temari, the daughter of the Kazekage and the princess of the Sand Village, couldn't help but feel jealous.

It’s fine if his appearance, inner qualities and background are all so perfect, but how come his partner is also perfect?
This woman, could she have saved the world in her previous life?

Hinata didn't know what Temari was thinking.

But she couldn't help but feel a little shy when she heard Temari's words.

For some reason, women of the same age, or even older than her, always stared at her conscience with envy and jealousy.

It was clearly a heavy burden.

Of course, this was Hinata's original idea.

Until she found out that Izayoi also liked her and even had a nosebleed because of it, Hinata no longer felt that this was a burden that affected her strength, but something to be proud of.

Thinking of this, Hinata's shyness disappeared instantly and the corners of her lips rose slightly.

In Temari's eyes, Hinata stared at her meager assets with a disdainful smile.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Sand Village was instantly furious.

With a bang, Temari took off the three-star fan on her back, slammed it to the ground, and sneered at Hinata: "Miss of a wealthy family, I hope your strength can satisfy my three-star fan."

The word "rich" seemed to turn on a switch in Hinata, making her think of something.

Glancing in the direction of her sister and father, Hinata's temples suddenly bulged with veins. She looked at Temari with a serious expression and said, "I will do my best."

The two people's gazes instantly converged into a line, and flames burst out.

The powerful aura also piqued Shiranui Genma's interest. He took down the Senbon, raised his arm and shouted, "The third Chunin selection exam, the official match, Hyuga Hinata vs. Temari... officially begins!"
