"Izayoi-kun, that's great, we succeeded."
Leaving the clan grounds with Izayoi, Hinata could no longer contain the excitement in her heart, her voice trembling slightly.
"Calm down, be careful your father sends guards to secretly follow us and hear what you said," Izayoi reminded with a smile.
Hearing this, Hinata quickly covered her small mouth, secretly looking around, extremely cute.
"Let's go, I'll take you to a place."
Izayoi wasn't sure if there were any guards following in the dark, and he didn't undo the Transformation Technique. Instead, he led Hinata away from the central street and towards the training grounds in the wilderness.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
After entering the forest, Izayoi created a Shadow Clone, which disappeared using the Body Flicker Technique.
Before long, Izayoi dispelled the Transformation Technique.
Seeing this, Hinata looked delighted and said, "Izayoi-kun, is no one following us?"
"Yeah, it's confirmed, no one is following us."
Izayoi nodded, grinned, and said, "I'll teach you a trick later. Practice it at home after you go back. If your father sees it, he probably won't stop you from going out in the future."
Hearing this, the joy on Hinata's face deepened.
Transforming into Ino Yamanaka to invite Hinata out.
This was Izayoi's plan.
Otherwise, if he invited her himself, there was no way Hinata would come out.
At best, he would have made a wasted trip. At worst, Neji Hyuga, who had received orders, might come to warn him, or he might be moved to another position in the class, or even another class.
Children might not know what was going on.
But Izayoi knew clearly that these were the methods of adults.
In this world where daimyo and nobles existed, the class division was even more obvious than in his previous life.
Hinata was the young lady of a prestigious ninja clan, while Izayoi was just a commoner orphan without even a surname.
There was a chasm between them.
If Izayoi was a girl, he might still have hope of becoming friends with Hinata.
But he was a boy. To prevent Hinata from falling in love with him, and to prevent the bloodline limit from leaking out, neither Hiashi Hyuga nor the clan elders of the main house would allow Izayoi and Hinata to get too close.
Unless... Izayoi's value was extremely high.
If he was a commoner genius worth recruiting, then he would be qualified to be adopted into the family.
If he was like Naruto Uzumaki, a hero of Konoha, a savior of the ninja world, then he could marry the young lady of the main house.
Before proving his worth, Izayoi could only use some small tricks.
Ino Yamanaka was the young lady of the Yamanaka clan, one of the new generation's Ino-Shika-Cho trio. Even if her strength was poor, she could still become a big figure in the intelligence department through the clan's secret techniques in the future, someone who wielded real power.
The Ino-Shika-Cho trio were allies as one, and if among the nine Konoha rookies, who was qualified to be friends with Hinata, it would definitely be Ino Yamanaka.
Only by transforming into Ino Yamanaka could he invite Hinata out, with a high probability of no guards following.
If he wasn't worried that his strength would continue to increase, widening the gap with Hinata, and making it harder to trigger a red entry, Izayoi really wouldn't want to take such a risk.
Once the first Chunin Exam arrived, and he won the title of top student, he would have a bit more confidence.
However, compared to Naruto and Sasuke's red entries, Izayoi wanted to trigger Hinata's red entry even more.
As long as he awakened the Tenseigan, he would have nothing to fear.
So he didn't want to miss this vacation.
Arriving at the deserted training ground, Izayoi looked at Hinata and said, "Hinata, have you learned the Three Body Technique?"
"Not yet." Hinata shook her head and said, "Father told me to focus on practicing the Gentle Fist, and only when the school teaches other ninjutsu can I practice those in my spare time."
"In that case, I won't teach you the Three Body Technique either."
Izayoi smiled and said, "I'll teach you a technique that can improve your chakra control, which will be twice as effective whether you're practicing your clan's Gentle Fist or learning the Shadow Clone Technique."
Hinata widened her beautiful eyes, looking surprised, "Izayoi-kun, you... you want to teach me the Shadow Clone Technique?"
"That's right."
Izayoi nodded and said, "In the future, my main body will rarely go to school. You can come here to find me at any time, or practice the Shadow Clone Technique, and secretly let the shadow clone go to class like me, while the main body comes here to practice with me."
Hearing this, Hinata was very tempted.
After learning that Izayoi was using a shadow clone to attend class, Hinata had the idea of learning the Shadow Clone Technique.
For no other reason than not wanting to be left too far behind by Izayoi.
But just like she said, Hiashi Hyuga only let her focus on learning the Gentle Fist and would not teach her anything else, nor would he allow her to learn anything else.
Don't even mention the Shadow Clone Technique, Hinata didn't even know the Three Body Technique.
Now, hearing that Izayoi wanted to teach her the Shadow Clone Technique, and that she could secretly come here every day to practice with Izayoi, enjoying both friendship and the freedom she craved.
Hinata was naturally extremely tempted.
Seeing her expression, Izayoi knew what she was thinking.
"Come over here, I'll teach you how to improve your chakra control."
Izayoi smiled at Hinata, then came to a large tree that took several people to hug.
He formed the Snake hand seal and said to Hinata, "By forming the hand seal, gather the chakra at the soles of your feet, then overcome the fear in your heart, like this..."
Under Hinata's wide eyes and surprised gaze, Izayoi raised his right foot and stepped on the tree trunk.
As soon as his right foot stepped on the tree trunk, Izayoi raised his left foot and stepped on it.
With both feet off the ground, his body stood upright in front of Hinata.
Then, one foot after another, as if walking on flat ground, Izayoi walked from the bottom of the tree to the top of the tree.
Turning to face Hinata below, Izayoi's body formed a right angle on the tree, and he smiled, "Climbing trees with your feet, this is the technique I'm teaching you."
"So... so amazing!"
Looking at Izayoi, who had escaped the pull of gravity, Hinata was stunned.
Walking down from the tree, Izayoi smiled, "Climbing trees with your feet is only the first stage, there's also the more difficult task of walking on water with your feet."
"As long as you learn these two techniques, whether it's the Three Body Technique, the Shadow Clone Technique, or the Body Flicker Technique, none of them will be difficult for you."
"I... can I really learn them?" Hinata was a little unconfident.
"Don't underestimate yourself, you are a Hyuga clan's young lady."
Izayoi patted Hinata's shoulder and encouraged her, "Go try it, don't be afraid of falling, I'll catch you."
"If you fall too far behind me, I won't wait for you."
The last sentence, Izayoi said with a hint of jest, as if teasing her.
It was just this sentence that strengthened Hinata's heart, and she nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
She had already disappointed her father, and she absolutely couldn't let Izayoi down again, and even more so, she didn't want to lose her only friend.
