Chapter 51: Izayoi's Guess, You Will Succeed
Months went by, and unwittingly, the Konoha 60th class graduates had been Chunin for a season.
Within a couple of months, even teams consisting of civilians have evolved from beginners to skilled Chunin.
Teams of good material and fine work, with the guidance of their Jonin instructors, have left Konoha to carry out C-rank missions, fought with enemies, seen blood, and undergone their transformation.
When the time came to the end of June, the Jonin instructors who knew what great things would happen recently stopped taking missions to venture out of the village, but permitted their subordinates to still do some work.
The Chunin teams that were undertaking missions outside the village have also returned to the village one after another.
The great event which is the Chunin's is about to happen.
Caw——
Team 8 was, as usual, cleaning the garbage for the village today.
A harsh eagle's scream echoed in the sky at this moment, as if it echoed everywhere in Konoha.
The Jonin who overheard the eagle's scream looked up at the sky, and as they made out the eagle soaring above the village, their eyes sparkled.
"Finish the mission, then go to the Hokage Building to get the reward, then dissolve on your own, and meet at the original place at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Such a sentence was left behind by Kurenai Yuhi, and she disappeared in a flash.
There are also a vast number of Jonin as she is.
Afterimage followed one by one to the Hokage Building.
"Is there some large-scale event taking place?" Shino Aburame stared at the noisy eagle and uttered softly, "The alarm bell hasn't gone off. Apparently, it's some large-scale event occurring from inside."
"It must be some significant day soon." Izayoi grinned, "Don't forget, there was no Chunin Exam held this year."
On hearing that, Hinata and Shino Aburame's sunglasses-draped eyes brightened somewhat.
Smiling at Izayoi and glancing at Hinata with expectation, Shino Aburame inquired, "If the Chunin Exam really comes, Izayoi, Hinata, do you two plan to enter?"
"I want to enter."
Hinata responded before Izayoi.
Izayoi smiled too and said, "Hinata enters, and I enter too, and we all have the strength to enter, don't we?"
"Yes."
Shino Aburame tucked his hands into his pockets and nodded coolly: "If you guys are going to participate, then I can't be left behind."
"Then we'll fight together and have other Chunin see Team 8's power."
Izayoi's three friends looked at each other and smiled confidently.
Like them, there are also experienced Chunin who have sat for the Chunin Exam, even many times, and lived, and are only slightly fortunate to be promoted to Chunin.
...
June 27, nine o'clock in the morning.
Team 8 was already waiting at the old place for Kurenai Yuhi.
In a flash, Kurenai Yuhi was in front of them in a moment, holding three papers, and smiled, "Sorry, I'm late."
"Kurenai-sensei, is the Chunin Exam application form here?" Hinata asked, looking at the papers in Kurenai Yuhi's hand.
"It looks like you all know." Kurenai Yuhi flicked the papers in her hand and smiled, "That's right, these three are all application sheets for the Chunin Exam. Yesterday, Lord Hokage summoned all of us Jonin instructors and announced that the opening time of this Chunin Exam is July 1st."
"Although you have only graduated for a few months now, your skills and brilliance qualify to take the Chunin Exam, so I have registered you."
"Enrolling, naturally, does not mean that you necessarily have to participate. In case you're not that confident, you may choose not to participate in the Chunin Exam and just discard this application form."
"If you have confidence in your own ability, sign below on this application form and bring it to the complex building by 3:30 pm on July 1st, and arrive in the exam room punctually."
Handing over the three application forms to the default leader Izayoi, Kurenai Yuhi forged, "These couple of days, you should discuss and think over carefully. Don't pressure yourself or pressure your teammates. Three people don't have to take the Chunin Exam."
Talking later, Kurenai Yuhi disappeared in an instant.
"See you on the 1st, Shino, let's meet here at three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Okay."
Izayoi gave Shino Aburame an application form and bid farewell to Hinata.
Upon their return, Izayoi gave Hinata the two application forms and told her, "Sasuke invited me out. Would you like to practice with us these days?"
Hinata was tempted a little, but shook her head and replied, "No, I'd like to consult my father about Gentle Fist today. I don't have time to look for you, Izayoi-kun."
"Don't mind, I'll definitely help you become a Chunin." Izayoi caressed Hinata's head and smiled.
Izayoi already had an idea why the girl wanted to be a Chunin.
Hinata here is far superior to the original novel.
She is the first heir as the eldest daughter of the main family.
Since the first heir is so good, the senior members of the main family must be coercing the future father-in-law to order him to put the bird into a cage on Hanabi.
Hinata is so keen on being a Chunin, probably to be a Jonin. sooner, and then divide the workload between the future father-in-law, so Hanabi will not be stuck.
"Determined" almost materialized into a one-sided smile. But was suppressed once more by the promise of inheritance. A deep frown was etched upon one's forehead.
If that's one's situation, then after the Chunin Exam, one must visit the Hyuga clan.
He wasn't aware that Hinata wanted to get promoted just to be with him legally so badly.
...
"Izayoi, will you be participating in the Chunin Exam?"
"Of course, are you frightened or something?"
"Humph, who would? I'll definitely be one of those promoted as Chunin this time."
"Not necessarily, if you meet me halfway, you'll have to go home early."
"Tch."
Evening, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan's mansion.
Grilling and chatting in the garden were Izayoi and Sasuke Uchiha, who had finished their training.
Sparks danced in front of them, and the bright colors reflected on the face of Sasuke Uchiha.
As Sasuke Uchiha was turning the grilled fish, he turned to Izayoi and asked suddenly, "Izayoi, when your squad was formed, did you greet and talk about your dream?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"And so what is your dream?" Sasuke Uchiha's eyes stared at Izayoi, who was dining and grilling on the opposite side, beyond the fire.
Izayoi spat the fish bone and smiled, "My response back then was to become a good ninja."
"What about the actual dream?"
"I'm afraid I won't believe you if I say it to you, and you will rather laugh at me."
"I won't." Sasuke Uchiha was firm.
"Em."
Izayoi scowled at the blazing fire and smiled, "Not a dream but a goal. I'd like to break free from the limitations of life with Hinata and exist forever."
When Sasuke Uchiha heard this, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Such a romantic fantasy is actually a goal, not an unrealistic and romantic dream?
Can that be done?
Before Sasuke Uchiha was able to go on talking, Izayoi inquired with a hint of knowingness, "And you? What is your dream?"
"Same as you, more of an objective than a dream." The eyes of Sasuke Uchiha were full of haze and intent to kill, "I want to kill that man and revenge my clan and parents."
"At any cost?" Izayoi inquired.
"Anything at all, even if I risk my life and sell my soul to the devil." Sasuke Uchiha voiced slowly.
Staring at Sasuke Uchiha's grim face for some seconds, Izayoi grinned out of nowhere: "Don't be concerned, you will succeed, and selling your soul to the devil is unnecessary."
In fact, you are my highest point-gathering source.
