"Li, are you okay! Li, wake up!"
The atmosphere in the hall was very quiet.
Only Might Guy's panicked voice could be heard.
It's no wonder he reacted this way.
At this moment, Rock Lee was like a burnt fish, his clothes and skin were all black.
Due to the side effects of the Eight Gates Formation, and the remaining power of the Storm Release Secret Technique, his body was still emitting wisps of steam.
He had already lost consciousness, and if it weren't for his breathing and heartbeat, no one would doubt that this was a well-done corpse.
At the same time, there were also two blue beams of light that no one could see, flying out of Rock Lee's body and towards Izayoi.
Although he lost to Izayoi, Rock Lee still proved himself to Izayoi through the Eight Gates Formation.
"Cough cough... don't be nervous, he's just unconscious." Hayate Gekko comforted, then took out the walkie-talkie and said, "Medical Team, come here quickly, we have a patient who needs emergency treatment."
Before long, three medical ninjas in white coats appeared with a stretcher using Body Flicker Technique, and while giving Rock Lee first aid, they carried him away from the arena.
Might Guy, whose other two disciples had finished their matches, chose to follow.
No one paid attention to this.
Because everyone's eyes were still fixed on the black hole that had replaced the hall.
Then their gazes shifted to Izayoi, who was falling down.
Whether they were Genin or Jonin, the way they looked at Izayoi had completely changed from before.
If Izayoi's use of Lightning Release nature transformation and shape transformation before made the Jonin feel that he was a future all-rounder Jonin.
Now, everyone regarded him as Konoha's future trump card.
Secret Ninjutsu, also known as S-rank Ninjutsu, is a super Ninjutsu that one may not be able to learn no matter how much effort one puts in.
Every ninja who masters S-rank Ninjutsu is an Elite Jonin of a major ninja village, possessing the trump card strength to threaten the Kage, become the Kage, and represent the Kage.
There is no doubt that Izayoi already possessed such strength.
Once his wisdom, courage, and leadership skills, as well as his battle record, are improved, becoming an Elite Jonin is inevitable.
"Izayoi, is this the Ninjutsu you developed?"
As soon as Izayoi landed, Kurenai Yuhi asked excitedly.
Shino Aburame and Hinata next to her were also staring straight at Izayoi, the latter's eyes undisguised with admiration for Izayoi.
"Yes."
Izayoi nodded and smiled, "I said I would shock you, didn't I disappoint you?"
"Yeah, too strong."
Kurenai Yuhi patted Izayoi's shoulder hard: "You kid, you're really hiding something!"
She thought Izayoi would be the Kakashi Hatake of this era, but she didn't expect that Izayoi was even more outstanding than Kakashi Hatake.
Although Kakashi Hatake became an all-rounder Jonin at the age of twelve and even developed the A-rank Lightning Release: Chidori himself.
But compared to Izayoi's Storm Release: Judgement, the difference between his Chidori was simply astronomical.
Having such a student, Kurenai Yuhi suddenly felt that their bet was so ridiculous.
She had won from the start, and she had won big!
"This kid actually perfected the Rasengan to this extent, truly a stunning genius!"
Orochimaru looked at Izayoi with admiration, almost unable to resist sticking out his long tongue to lick his lips.
Izayoi didn't let him wait in vain, indeed offering him a wonderful duel.
Although he didn't have a Kekkei Genkai, that talent allowed Orochimaru to see his former self, as well as the shadows of many commoner geniuses.
Satisfied, Orochimaru quietly left.
At this time, the Special Jonin guarding near Hiruzen Sarutobi also used Earth Release Ninjutsu to repair the black hole in the hall.
The time required and the Chakra consumed were both astonishing.
The ninjas who witnessed it firsthand once again experienced the power of that Storm Release Secret Technique.
To be able to fuse Lightning Release nature transformation and Water Release nature transformation into Storm Release, could this kid have accidentally created a Kekkei Genkai?
Kurenai Yuhi seemed to have thought of this as well, and couldn't help but ask, "Izayoi, did you synthesize a Storm Release Kekkei Genkai?"
"No, I just used that energy ball as a carrier, using ultra-high-speed rotation to barely fuse the two nature transformations together. It's a more advanced composite secret technique, and I can't directly convert Chakra into Storm Release nature transformation yet," Izayoi shook his head and said.
In fact, when he synthesized Storm Release, Izayoi was also taken aback.
But after carefully feeling his body, Izayoi found that he didn't have a Storm Release Kekkei Genkai, and the Perk entry for Kekkei Genkai·Storm Release (Purple) didn't appear on his personal panel either.
Being able to synthesize Storm Release was all thanks to Chakra Control (Gold).
It may also be thanks to the Tenseigan.
However, the fusion of the two releases was not Izayoi's limit.
Storm Release: Judgement was just one of his secret techniques.
After the hall was repaired, the exam continued.
The battle between Izayoi and Rock Lee was the tenth round.
Of the twenty-three examinees, only Gaara, Akado Yoroi, and Shino Aburame remained.
Among these three, there would be one lucky person.
The names on the screen quickly settled down.
Gaara VS Akado Yoroi.
"..."
Izayoi was slightly speechless, secretly glancing at Shino Aburame with a strange look.
The sensitive Shino Aburame instantly noticed it: "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing." Izayoi shook his head.
He couldn't exactly say, The reason you got a bye is because your presence is so low that even the proctors in the back ignored you, right?
If he said that, Shino Aburame would definitely be sad for a long time.
The eleventh round of the duel ended with Gaara instantly killing Akado Yoroi without any suspense.
If Akado Yoroi hadn't been wearing a Konoha Forehead Protector, and Hayate Gekko hadn't intervened in time to stop the match, the former might have been crushed by Gaara using Sand Binding Coffin.
Sasuke Uchiha wasn't branded with the Heaven Curse Mark and could still use the Sharingan. Akado Yoroi's ability to absorb Chakra wasn't as effective as Zaku Abumi's Air Slash Extreme Wave.
Having failed to become the lucky one with a bye, Akado Yoroi's fate of defeat was already sealed.
And just like that, the preliminaries ended, and eleven examinees advanced to the main competition.
These eleven examinees were Tosu, Sasuke Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga, Kankuro, Temari, Shikamaru Nara, Naruto Uzumaki, Neji Hyuga, Izayoi, Gaara, and Shino Aburame.
"As mentioned before, the Chunin Exams are a microcosm of the Allied Nations' war. For the third exam's main competition, a large number of dignitaries and spectators will be present."
"These people may become your clients in the future, so in order to present them with the best visual feast, you have one month to prepare. During this time, improve yourselves well, and then gather at Konoha's plaza at ten in the morning sharp."
In the hall, after Hiruzen Sarutobi finished instructing them, he ordered Anko Mitarashi, who was holding a box, to come out and let the eleven examinees draw lots to determine their opponents one month later.
Eleven examinees, five rounds of duels, and there was still one lucky examinee with a bye.
Soon, the eleven examinees completed the drawing of lots.
Anko Mitarashi wrote the numbers they drew, as well as the examinees' names, on a board.
[No. 1] Naruto Uzumaki VS [No. 2] Tosu.
[No. 3] Hinata Hyuga VS [No. 4] Temari.
[No. 5] Shikamaru Nara VS [No. 6] Kankuro.
[No. 7] Izayoi VS [No. 8] Gaara.
[No. 9] Sasuke Uchiha VS [No. 10] Neji Hyuga.
The lucky one with a bye—Shino Aburame.
When the list came out, many strange gazes were cast on Shino Aburame.
Shino Aburame finally got his wish and experienced the feeling of being the center of attention.
The corner of his mouth under his collar couldn't help but curl up slightly.
After the drawing of lots ended, the examinees left the Death Forest with their Guidance Jonin.
As soon as they came out, Kurenai Yuhi put her arm around Hinata's fragrant shoulder and smiled at Eighth Squad, "Let's go, let's celebrate all of you advancing. Teacher Kurenai will treat you to a big meal."
"Thank you, Teacher Kurenai."
Having stayed in the Central Tower for five days, where the food was very ordinary, Eighth Squad did not refuse.
It was dusk, just in time for dinner.
After dinner, night had already fallen.
Hinata didn't go home immediately but went to Izayoi's house, where she and Izayoi developed photos in his room.
"Hinata, that last palm of yours was so cool."
"Hehe... Izayoi-kun's last move, Storm Release: Judgement, was super cool too. I didn't expect Izayoi's secret technique to be Storm Release!"
"Then do you think I should work harder so that my children can also have Storm Release in the future?"
The newest novel is first published at
"Eh—"
The doors and windows were tightly closed, the blackout curtains were drawn, and the lights were not turned on. Only a small lamp on the desk illuminated the room.
Izayoi and Hinata sat on a chair, admiring the freshly developed photos and complimenting each other.
While chatting, Izayoi suddenly brought up the topic of children, and although he was talking about himself, he looked at Hinata with a mischievous smile.
Hinata instantly became flustered, her face flushed, her eyes darting around, and she stammered, "I... I don't know..."
In her mind, she was already imagining what her and Izayoi's child would look like.
The hair color would definitely be the same as hers and Izayoi-kun's, but would the eyes be Byakugan, or Izayoi's blue eyes, or that eye technique called Tenseigan?
Does Izayoi-kun prefer boys or girls?
As she thought about it, steam began to rise from Hinata's head, and her pale purple Byakugan gradually turned into a spiral shape.
Just then, a hand suddenly rested on Hinata's fragrant shoulder, pulling her back to her senses.
Izayoi leaned over and said with a mischievous smile, "Hinata, do you remember what I told you before the fight started?"
"Wha... what?"
Hinata looked puzzled and didn't react for a moment.
"The reward, it's the reward!" Izayoi said twice, righteously, "I won, shouldn't you give me a reward?"
Hinata didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Izayoi-kun, are you Hanabi?"
"I told you, Hanabi grew up watching us, what's so strange about her having a similar personality to me." Izayoi raised his head and said, "Didn't Hanabi also ask me for a reward after winning the Top Student title? Now that I've been promoted, shouldn't you give me a reward?"
"What about mine?"
This time, Hinata didn't agree but took the initiative, smiling and saying, "I've also been promoted, what reward are you planning to give me, Izayoi-kun?"
"I have one~~"
Izayoi raised his index finger to his lips and smiled, "But this reward will take some time to give you."
Some time?
Hinata tilted her head and quickly guessed when it would be.
So, she didn't ask any further but smiled softly, "Then what reward does Izayoi-kun want?"
"Photos!"
Izayoi had been waiting for this sentence, and he immediately got up, opened the closet, and took out two gift boxes from inside.
These were secretly sent over by a Shadow Clone before the Chunin Exams began.
Because of Hanabi, Izayoi hadn't been able to hand them to Hinata as he wished.
He stuffed both gift boxes into Hinata's arms, his expression excited as he said, "Hinata, I want to take some artistic photos!"
"Artistic photos?"
Hinata didn't quite understand, but she could guess that these two gift boxes must also contain clothes.
Could it be, another Sailor Suit?
Or perhaps other original clothes from Izayoi-kun?
Hinata felt shy but also a little expectant as she quickly unwrapped the packages.
When she opened the gift boxes, her cheeks, which had just cooled down, instantly flushed red again, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into a Steam Princess.
"Th-This..."
Hinata looked at Izayoi with eyes that had turned into spirals, her voice trembling as she said, "I... Izayoi-kun, did... did you make a mistake? These clothes are for Hanabi, right!"
"No, they're prepared just for you."
Izayoi pinched the collar of a short-sleeved white top with his thumb and forefinger, lifting it up as he smiled, "This outfit is called a Gym Uniform, and it comes with matching shorts. The one-piece swimsuit underneath is called a Sukumizu. The other gift box contains a Cheerleading Uniform and pom-poms."
"T-Too... too small."
Looking at the few small pieces of fabric that really didn't need two gift boxes, as one gift box could fit them all, Hinata felt a dizzy spell, as if she were taking a hot bath in a bathroom filled with steam and without turning on the exhaust fan, making it difficult to breathe.
"Please, Hinata."
Izayoi put his hands together, pleading in a drawn-out tone, "This is my lifelong wish!"
Hinata, her head burning and muddled, didn't know how she walked into the bathroom.
Even though it was just a few small pieces of fabric, it took Hinata more than ten minutes to come out of the bathroom.
Watching Hinata, who was clutching the hem of her clothes and walking out with her head lowered, illuminated by the bathroom light, Izayoi, who had already activated his Tenseigan to make sure no one was spying, suddenly felt a heat in his nose.
He reached out and touched it, his hand covered in blood.
The noble Otsutsuki, only one level away from a pure-blooded alien, actually had a nosebleed.
There was no helping it, Hinata's current appearance was more damaging to Izayoi than a Kekkei Mora.
The white Sailor Suit shirt, which fit just right, had already made Hinata blush.
Now, wearing a Gym Uniform that was a few sizes too small, Hinata hadn't fainted, thanks to Izayoi's six years of effort.
If it were the original personality, Hinata would have fainted in the bathroom long ago, her eyes spinning in circles.
"Gulp..."
Izayoi, who had already stuffed cotton in his nose, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his tone filled with strangeness and a slight tremor as he said, "H-Hinata, lie down on your side first, and I'll teach you how to pose."
"Okay."
Hinata, who had been keeping her head down, didn't notice Izayoi's abnormality and responded with a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.
Immediately, she lay down on her side as Izayoi requested.
Afraid that the girl might faint, Izayoi didn't turn on the lights. Instead, using the light from the bathroom and the desk, he directed Hinata to lie down, propping her up with a pillow. He made a scissor-hand gesture with his hands, while holding the camera and searching for the right angle.
"Pfft..."
With a click, the shutter released a white flash, and at the same time, a spurt of blood shot out.
Looking at the bloodstains on the blanket, Hinata finally forgot her shyness and quickly looked up at Izayoi, who was covering his nose, her expression worried. "Izayoi-kun, why are you bleeding from your nose? Are you okay!"
"I... I'm fine, maybe today's dinner was too heaty."
Izayoi waved his hand, looking at Hinata with a strange expression. In the end, he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and couldn't help but ask, "Hinata, why aren't you wearing anything underneath?"
"Hmm?"
Hinata tilted her head, then noticed that Izayoi's gaze wasn't meeting hers. So, she followed his gaze and looked down at the clothes that she had to pull down hard to barely cover her abs, and finally realized what she had done with her mind completely blank.
Buzz—
Izayoi vaguely heard the sound of a train whistle, wondering if it was a hallucination.
Just after taking one artistic photo, Izayoi's wish was shattered.
Because the female lead had already fallen on the bed, her cheeks flushed red, white steam constantly rising from her head, her eyes turned into mosquito coil-like circles, and she fell into a coma.
