Since it was still early.
After eating the big meal Kurenai Yuhi treated them to, Eighth Squad didn't disband on the spot but headed to the Hokage Building to officially start their mission.
Eighth Squad's first mission was naturally a D-Rank Mission.
At first, Hinata and Shino Aburame were quite interested in the mission.

However, when they saw Kurenai Yuhi take them to a smelly ditch and ask them to find a way to clean up the garbage on the surface, they instantly lost interest.
This mission was not difficult at all for Hinata and Izayoi, who could both walk on water.
The same went for Shino Aburame.
He had already learned tree climbing and water walking in the third grade.
These techniques, which the Ninja Academy didn't teach, were basic skills that all major ninja clans required their children to master.
Even if Izayoi didn't teach Hinata tree climbing and water walking, Hiashi Hyuga would still teach her once her Pressure Point Strike reached a certain level.
After all, this was Chakra Control for multitasking.
Mastering Chakra Control at this stage would not only greatly increase the power of Pressure Point Strike, but also make learning Gentle Fist easier.
Seeing that Izayoi and the others had already mastered Chakra Control that the Ninja Academy didn't teach, Kurenai Yuhi was slightly surprised.
But thinking about Hinata and Shino Aburame's backgrounds, as well as Izayoi's strength and his relationship with Hinata, Kurenai Yuhi suddenly understood.
These techniques were indeed nothing to them.
Soon, Kurenai Yuhi became troubled again.
She had originally wanted to use this mission to take the opportunity to teach Izayoi and the others more advanced Chakra Control.
Now that Izayoi and the others already knew it, what should she teach them next?
Izayoi didn't know what Kurenai Yuhi was thinking, let alone her worries.
Otherwise, he would definitely have a good impression of Kurenai Yuhi.
Although they were called teachers, Guidance Jonin were not teaching teachers.
Guidance Jonin and Genin had a relationship of superiors and subordinates in addition to being teachers and students.
The job of Guidance Jonin was only to guide the newly graduated Genin on how to carry out missions and become qualified Genin.
If they had promising subordinates, they could deepen the teacher-student relationship and pass on their skills to them.
If they didn't like them, then when someone in the team was promoted to Chunin squad leader, the Guidance Jonin would become a hands-off manager, and they would only reunite if the village arranged high-level missions for them.
Therefore, Guidance Jonin didn't necessarily have to teach their subordinates Ninjutsu.
The channels for Genin to learn Ninjutsu were not limited to obtaining it from Guidance Jonin, they could also earn merits by completing missions and then exchange them with the village.
Of course, the Five Elements Release that Genin could exchange for were all relatively low-level techniques that had long been rampant in the Shinobi World.
Only advanced ninjas who had mastered Shape Transformation and Nature Transformation could exchange for more advanced Ninjutsu.
It was only the second day since they met, and Kurenai Yuhi was already thinking about teaching Izayoi and Hinata skills.
Such a teacher was truly dedicated.
The Seventh Squad would definitely be moved to tears if they saw this.
After all, they still had to use tools to clean up garbage, and Kakashi Hatake, who lay in the trees reading little yellow books, was too lazy to teach them tree climbing and water walking.
After completing their first D-Rank Mission and receiving their reward, the Eighth Squad disbanded at the entrance of the Hokage Building.
"Hinata, let's have a good meal today."
"Yes!"
Izayoi and Hinata took their first wages and went to the market to buy ingredients, preparing to enjoy themselves.
However, as they carried the bags back to Izayoi's house, preparing to start cooking and then call Hanabi over,
"Hiss..."
Izayoi, who had just changed his shoes in the entryway, suddenly frowned and sucked in a cold breath.
The bags in his hand also fell to the ground.
"Izayoi-kun, what's wrong?" Hinata immediately asked with a worried expression.
"Hinata, my Kekkei Genkai... is about to awaken!"
Izayoi covered his eyes, leaned against the wall, his expression somewhat uncomfortable, but the corners of his mouth were raised, his tone full of excitement.
Hearing this, Hinata, who came over to support him, immediately opened her red lips wide, surprised and delighted, "Really? Izayoi-kun, you... you also have a Kekkei Genkai?"
"Yes, this is a secret that only you know."
Izayoi raised his hand and placed it on Hinata's shoulder, and smiled, "Hinata, help me upstairs, I have something I need your help with."
"Yes."
Hinata immediately nodded with a serious face, ignoring the ingredients, and helped Izayoi upstairs.
Arriving in the room and lying on the bed, Izayoi closed his eyes and said, "Hinata, first go get a roll of bandages."
"Okay."
The newest novels are first published here!
Hinata walked out of the room, took a medicine box, took out a roll of bandages from it, and stuffed it into Izayoi's hand.
Izayoi tied the bandage around his eyes, and then said, "Open the drawer of my bedside table and take out an eye mask for me."
"Yes."
Hinata nodded again, opened the drawer, took out a black eye mask, and put it into Izayoi's hand.
After putting on the eye mask, Izayoi formed a hand seal, and an astonishing perception instantly enveloped the entire Konoha Central Street.
A few seconds later, Izayoi put down his hand and solemnly instructed, "Hinata, remember not to reveal the matter of my ancestral Kekkei Genkai awakening, not even to Hanabi now."
"I understand, Izayoi-kun." Hinata nodded with a serious expression.
Even without Izayoi reminding her, she wouldn't reveal it.
After all, Izayoi-kun is just a commoner without a surname, and now he's alone. If the fact that he possesses a Kekkei Genkai were to be exposed, it would likely attract a lot of attention.
If this Kekkei Genkai belonged to the Land of Fire and the ninja clan still existed, then he could acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan.
But if it's a foreign Kekkei Genkai, it means Izayoi's ancestors moved to the Land of Fire from elsewhere. Even if they settled in the Land of Fire before Konoha was established and there are no problems with his background, Izayoi wouldn't gain the village's trust, and his future would be essentially over.
She and Izayoi would have no future either.
Therefore, this secret cannot be revealed to anyone, including Hanabi, who is still young.
"I have a feeling that it will take a few days for my Kekkei Genkai to fully awaken."
Izayoi continued to instruct, "During this time, if the Eighth Squad has a mission, use a Shadow Clone to transform into my appearance and go. Remember, you must come here and wear my clothes before you go, otherwise Shino Aburame will notice the flaw. Also, have the Shadow Clone tell them that it's my Shadow Clone and that I'm refining a Ninjutsu I'm developing during this time."
"Yes."
"During this time, find an excuse to keep Hanabi from coming here."
"Okay."
"I won't be able to see for the next few days, so I'll have to trouble you to bring me food. However, I might hide using the Invisibility Technique. If you find that I'm not here, you can call out to me, but remember not to activate your Byakugan."
"I understand."
Hinata memorized everything.
"Then, I'll have to trouble you for the next few days, Hinata," Izayoi said with a smile.
"Mmm-hmm..."
Hinata nodded repeatedly, her small face flushed with excitement.
Since she was little, Izayoi had always taken care of her. Now, it was finally her turn to take care of Izayoi.
Hinata suddenly felt full of anticipation for the next few days.
She even wanted to go home and prepare a daily routine.
