Chapter 14 - Top Student

Although not exploding out the Sage Body made Izayoi feel somewhat regretful.

However, exploding out the Uzumaki Bloodline was already extremely lucky.

This bloodline, just like the bloodlines of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan, as well as the Kaguya clan, all belong to branches of the Otsutsuki clan.

As descendants of the Sage Body, the Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan both possess powerful life forces, and their Chakra reserves are astonishing.

Moreover, in addition to being skilled in using sealing techniques, the Uzumaki clan also possesses three powerful unique abilities.

These three abilities are: Kagura Mind's Eye, Adamantine Sealing Chains, and Physical Stamina Healing.

Kagura Mind's Eye, one of the strongest sensory techniques in the Shinobi World.

Adamantine Sealing Chains, an integrated offense and defense, can also be used to create barriers and perform sealing techniques, making it difficult even for tailed beasts to break free when bound.

Physical Stamina Healing, can consume Chakra to heal one's own or others' injuries, with considerable effectiveness.

These three abilities are all top-tier support skills.

However, just as not everyone in the Uchiha clan can awaken the Sharingan, these three unique abilities are not something that every member of the Uzumaki clan can awaken.

In the original work, Naruto Uzumaki did not awaken any of these abilities before gaining Kurama's recognition.

After gaining Kurama's recognition, he did possess the same ability to sense good and evil as Mito Uzumaki.

As for why he didn't awaken the other abilities, either the original Sage Body was too strong, or the original author didn't want to give him any more advantages.

But what cannot be denied is that Naruto Uzumaki not only has the Uzumaki Bloodline, but also, as the reincarnation of Asura Chakra, the purity of this bloodline is very high.

And now, Izayoi has exploded out the Uzumaki Bloodline from Naruto Uzumaki. If he's lucky, he might be able to awaken one of the three unique abilities.

If he, like Karin, awakens all three unique abilities at the same time, then whether in terms of sensing, sealing, or healing, he will reach the top level in the Shinobi World.

Even if he doesn't awaken any unique abilities, he will still possess the powerful life force inherited from the Sage Body, so he won't lose out either way.

Izayoi happily put away the light screen and watched the duels on the field.

As one round after another of duels determined the winners, the Taijutsu Sparring quickly came to an end.

Next was the final exam, the newly added Survival Exercise.

However, before starting the Survival Exercise, Iruka Umino first took the students to the Medical Room to have the doctors treat them.

Afterward, he took the students to the Props Room, allowing Izayoi and the others to enter and choose props.

These props are all necessities for using the Invisibility Technique.

Unlike the Genin's bell-grabbing Survival Exercise, the Ninja Academy's Survival Exercise is mostly hide-and-seek, mainly testing the students' proficiency in the Invisibility Technique and Body Flicker Technique, as well as the Three Body Technique.

Those who perform well will receive high or perfect scores.

If their performance is poor, they will be given a chance like in the Chunin Exams, and if they are still difficult to watch afterward, they will be caught.

This kind of exam is naturally not difficult for Izayoi, who has already mastered the Three Body Technique.

He effortlessly lasted until the end of the time, once again earning a perfect score in another subject.

Although the results will be announced in the new semester in April, the title of Top Student is already Izayoi's.

"Hinata, see you tomorrow at the usual place."

"Okay!"

After school, Izayoi and Hinata parted ways at an intersection, making the same promise as usual.

Even though Izayoi would no longer take Hinata to the abandoned Training Grounds before the Uchiha clan was destroyed, he still hadn't stopped training with Hinata.

It's just that the training ground has changed from the abandoned Training Grounds to the school's playground, or the yard of Izayoi's house.

The Nine Tails' Rampage did not destroy Izayoi's home.

The inheritance left to Izayoi by his ninja parents included a two-story detached house with a small yard.

Compared to Naruto Uzumaki, whose entire inheritance was confiscated, and even the scarf left by Kushina Uzumaki was thrown into the storage room to gather dust, Izayoi's conditions were simply excellent.

Fortunately, his parents were ordinary ninjas, and the village wasn't so ruthless.

...

One year has three semesters. Except for the longer summer vacation, the other holidays in the Ninja Academy are very short.

In the blink of an eye, it was April 1st.

The Ninja Academy starts a new school year.

The sixth graders have already graduated, and the Genin who have been recognized by their Jonin instructors have already begun to perform tasks.

Those Genin who have not been recognized have either returned to school to retake the course, or have been specially recruited by other departments, or have retaken the course several times and feel that they do not have the qualifications to become a ninja, and have dropped out of school to become ordinary people.

The first to fifth graders ushered in promotion and began to move classrooms.

The vacant first grade also ushered in new students who passed the entrance examination.

On this day, the front of the bulletin board was full of students.

First-year freshmen are checking their classrooms.

Students in other grades are checking the results of the major exams in their respective grades.

"Hey, Izayoi-kun, have you seen the results on the bulletin board?"

"Awesome, Izayoi, you've become the Top Student of our grade!"

"As expected of Izayoi, even Sasuke isn't your opponent."

"Izayoi is the Top Student, and Hinata is the second place. You two classmates have taken the top two spots, you're so strong!"

"..."

Izayoi had just arrived at the new classroom when he was surrounded by his classmates, both male and female.

Izayoi didn't feel impatient, but stood there, smiling and chatting with them for a long time.

From their words, it can also be known that Izayoi is the Top Student, and the second place is not Sasuke Uchiha, but Hinata.

Izayoi wasn't surprised by this.

Hinata's academic scores were already among the top.

In the original Chunin Exams' first test, among the four girls of the Konoha 12, only she and Sakura Haruno didn't need to cheat.

With his help, learning to climb trees and walk on water in the first year, no longer being introverted, and being decisive in battle without worrying about others, if Hinata could still lose to Sasuke Uchiha, then Izayoi might as well kill himself by running into a wall.

Sasuke Uchiha should be glad he didn't encounter Hinata in the Taijutsu Sparring, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to hold onto third place.

After all, Shino Aburame was no pushover.

Izayoi returned to his seat after chatting with his classmates until class was about to start.

"Good morning, Izayoi-kun."

"Morning, Hinata."

Hinata was still earlier than Izayoi.

After exchanging greetings, the two began to chat.

"Izayoi-kun, congratulations on becoming the Top Student."

Hinata had obviously gone to see the notice board as well.

Izayoi also smiled and said, "Congratulations on taking second place. Now your father will definitely not stop you from going out."

"Yes, yes..."

Hinata nodded repeatedly, a happy smile on her face.

Clearly, she also realized that her and Izayoi's plan had long been seen through by her father.

But Hinata wasn't grounded, and was able to go out freely, indicating that her interactions with Izayoi had been tacitly approved by her father.

Thinking back to the times she was caught practicing walking on water at home, but was never questioned, Hinata felt it must be related to her progress.

Now that she had also achieved second place in the grade, and Izayoi, who was teaching her, was the Top Student.

If her father knew, he would definitely approve of Izayoi even more.

Thinking of this, Hinata couldn't help but feel delighted.
