Chapter 49: Izayoi's Birthday
"The invaders of your village have been defeated by me. These minerals are my war spoils. Do you have any objections?"
"No, no... Please proceed, sir. Do you need our help?"
"No need for help. I'm in a hurry. Goodbye!"
Having placed the corpses of the Kurosuki clan and some minerals needed to make puppets in two gigantic storage scrolls, Izayoi floated in the air, flying and teleporting now and then, leaving the Land of Rivers at the fastest speed.
On the following morning, Izayoi returned to the Land of Fire, then stopped by the tailor shop without resting. He split a shadow clone with a huge amount of chakra and handed the scrolls containing minerals and corpses over to the shadow clone.
The body never rested at any moment. He visited a shop to buy something first, then rushed back to Konoha with souvenirs for Hinata and Hanabi.
At last, before 6 pm, Izayoi returned to Konoha.
Taking advantage of the shift time, Izayoi entered Konoha from somewhere else, then returned to central street from the wilderness, and soon returned home.
"I'm back."
When he reached the village, Izayoi changed his shoes at the entrance and shouted loudly.
Then, he took the gift box and went towards the second floor.
However, sometime, a cloth curtain was hung at the entrance of the stairs.
Izayoi parted the cloth curtain, and what he saw was how dark the room was with the full-light-blocking curtains closed.
There were merely twelve candles burning on the living room table, and below them was a five-layer cake.
The cake was very dainty. There were three Q version snowmen on every layer, and they were Izayoi and the Hyuga sisters.
" Oni-chan, happy birthday!"
"Izayoi-kun, happy birthday."
Hinata and Hanabi were waiting for Izayoi in the living room. As for the shadow clone, it was mercilessly blown up by the two girls yesterday.
When they saw Izayoi come back, Hinata and Hanabi came over to wish Izayoi a happy birthday, and pulled Izayoi towards the cake.
Yes, today is June 16th, Izayoi's birthday.
This is also the reason why Izayoi was in such a hurry to get back.
Since the two of them became a trio, Hinata and Hanabi have been celebrating Izayoi's birthday at this time every year.
Especially after finding out that the shadow clone was blasted by the two girls, he realized that Hinata and Hanabi wanted to surprise him.
Izayoi wouldn't let the two girls down, naturally.
Hanabi kneeled next to the coffee table after she pinned Izayoi on the sofa, propped her chin up with her hands, and smiled to speak, "Oni-chan, make a wish."
"Oni-chan's wish is really easy. He hopes that Hanabi will grow up soon, every day that passes will be as colorful as a rainbow, as bright as a star, and as beautiful as her sister." Izayoi clasped his hands together in a praying manner, closed his eyes, but said his wish.
But lastly, he added in his heart: "I hope everything goes well and we all shed the constraints of life."
After saying that, Izayoi blew out all the candles.
"Oni-chan, I love you to death, Mu~~a!"
Hanabi ran over and forcibly kissed Izayoi's cheek hard after hearing Izayoi's wish.
Izayoi rubbed Hanabi's small face with both hands and smiled, "The wish has been made. Where's Oni-chan's birthday present?"
"My sister and I got it ready for you."
Hanabi jumped up from the sofa, went into the room along with Hinata, and the two of them emerged carrying three nicely wrapped boxes.
"Oni-chan, open it and take a look."
Setting down the gift box on the floor, Hanabi told Izayoi.
Hinata did not pull open the complete light-blocking curtains, but turned on the living room lights.
There were three gift boxes, two large and one small.
Izayoi undid the bow, took off the wrapping paper, and opened the small box first.
Inside was a red scarf.
The moment Izayoi took the scarf in his hand, he seemed to have realized something and couldn't help but look at the two girls and said, "Did you knit this?"
"As expected of Oni-chan, you guessed it in one shot."
Hanabi smiled and said, "Then Oni-chan, who do you think made this scarf?"
"You've already confessed."
Izayoi tapped Hanabi's forehead and smiled, "Your sister must have a share. Your sister didn't do it alone, so it must be you two who did it together."
"Huh." Hanabi pouted.
Hinata smiled softly at this scene, not surprised that Izayoi could guess.
"Autumn is coming soon, and winter will be arriving soon. I really like this scarf."
Izayoi put the scarf around his neck and continued to open the box.
This time, he opened the two big boxes together. They were all clothes.
One was a heavy snowman suit, and the other one was a high-class white robe with flame patterns.
"Oni-chan, can you say who sent these two clothes?" Hanabi asked again.
"This one was sent by Hinata." Izayoi picked up the snowman suit and smiled at Hinata.
"How about this?"
Hanabi picked up the white kimono and asked.
"You sent it together." Izayoi tapped Hanabi's forehead again and smiled, "You forgot the flame pattern on your kimono? This is your favorite pattern. And you announced yourself again. Because the snowman costume was sent by Hinata, so this one was sent by you or you two together."
"It's not a joke. Can Oni-chan read minds?" Hanabi started behaving like a spoiled child, "I clearly wanted to defeat Oni-chan at least once this year."
"I already warned you a long time ago, you can't lie to Izayoi-kun." Hinata chuckled.
"Okay, don't be angry."
Izayoi picked Hanabi up and put her aside, picked up the gift box on the floor, and smiled, "I also have souvenirs for you guys."
"That's right, where have you been lately, Oni-chan?" Hanabi was successfully distracted and asked curiously, "The shadow clone said that you went to do something big. What big thing?"
"You'll know later. I'm not supposed to tell you now." Izayoi did not wish to corrupt his sister-in-law's innocent heart just yet.
"Oni-chan is so annoying."
Hanabi made a face, then opened the gift box that Izayoi stuffed into her arms, and guessed like Izayoi, "A flat rectangular gift box, and so big, is it clothing?"
"Guessed it right, Hanabi is amazing."
Izayoi, who won the game, immediately attached emotional value to Hanabi.
"Hehe." Hanabi smiled happily.
After taunting his sister-in-law, Izayoi pulled Hinata to sit on the other side of him, pushed the gift box into her arms, leaned over to her ear and grinned, "I love the present a lot. Let's relive our childhood this winter! This is a present for you, open it quickly."
"...Alright."
Hinata, who had originally wanted to wait for Hanabi to finish watching before watching herself, saw Izayoi's expectant face and immediately looked forward to Izayoi's souvenir.
Ripping off the packaging in a hurry, Hinata opened the gift box.
In an instant, her beautiful eyes became slightly larger.
"This is."
The Hyuga sisters made a sound together, then turned to Izayoi and asked, "Oni-chan/Izayoi-kun, what kind of clothing are these?"
"It's called. sailor suit."
"I did it myself. Go try it on to see if it fits," Izayoi said excitedly.
"Okay."
The Hyuga sisters, who were still skeptical, heard that it was the clothing Izayoi did himself, and their beautiful eyes lit up slightly, then got up and went into the room.
And Izayoi used Tenseigan, of course not to peep, but to find Hiruzen Sarutobi.
As the other person had finished work and was having dinner with his grandson Konohamaru, and did not use the Crystal Ball Technique to sneak around everywhere, Izayoi also withdrew his vision.
But before he sealed Tenseigan, Izayoi caught a glimpse of a certain direction outside the house.
In the meantime, Hanabi's surprised voice echoed in the room, making Izayoi break a sweat on his forehead: "It fits so well! Sister, how does Oni-chan know your size?"
