"Izayoi-kun, great, we succeeded."
Leaving the clan land with Izayoi, Hinata could no longer suppress her excitement and spoke with a trembling voice.
"Keep calm. Be careful your father might send guards to follow us secretly and hear what you said." Izayoi warned with a smile.
Hearing this, Hinata quickly covered her mouth and looked around secretly, which was so adorable.
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
Izayoi was not sure if there were any guards following him secretly, so he did not disengage the Transformation Technique. Instead, he led Hinata out of the central street and headed towards the training ground in the wild.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
After entering the forest, Izayoi splits into a Shadow Clone, who disappears instantly.
After a while, Izayoi released the Transformation Technique.
Seeing this, Hinata looked delighted and asked, "Izayoi-kun, is there no one following us?"
"Well, it's confirmed. No one is following us."
Izayoi nodded and grinned, "I'll teach you a trick later. Practice it at home when you get back. If your father sees it, he probably won't stop you from going out in the future."
Hearing this, Hinata's face became even more joyful.
Become Yamanaka Ino and invite Hinata out.
This is Izayoi's plan.
Otherwise, if he personally invited Hinata, there would be no way she would come out.
At best, it would be a wasted trip, at worst, the Hyuga Neji who had received the order might come up and warn you, or you might be transferred to another position in the class, or even to another class.
Children may not understand what is going on.
But Izayoi knew that this was the method used by adults.
In this world where daimyo and nobles exist, class divisions are even more obvious than in previous lives.
Hinata is the eldest daughter of a wealthy ninja clan, while Izayoi is just a commoner orphan who doesn't even have a surname.
There was a chasm between the two.
If Izayoi were a girl, there would be hope that she could become friends with Hinata.
But he is a man, to prevent Hinata from falling in love with him, and to prevent his bloodline limit from leaking out, neither Hyuga Hiashi nor the clan elders will let Izayoi and Hinata get too close.
Unless...Izayoi is extremely valuable.
If he is a commoner talent worthy of recruitment, then he is eligible to marry into the family.
If he was like Uzumaki Naruto, a hero of Konoha and the savior of the ninja world, then he could marry the eldest daughter of the main family.
Until he proves his worth, Izayoi can only resort to trickery.
Yamanaka Ino is the eldest daughter of the Yamanaka clan and one of the new generation of Ino-Shika-Chō. No matter how weak she is, she can use the family's secret techniques to become a big figure in the intelligence department in the future and hold real power.
Ino–Shika–Chō are an integrated ally. If there is one person among the nine strongest ones who is qualified to be friends with Hinata, it must be Yamanaka Ino.
Only by changing into Yamanaka Ino's appearance can he invite Hinata out, and there is a high probability that there will be no guards following.
If Izayoi wasn't worried that his strength would continue to grow, the gap between him and Hinata would grow larger and larger, and it would become increasingly difficult to obtain red items, he really wouldn't want to take such a risk.
When the first major exam came, he felt a little more confident after winning the title of top student.
However, compared to Naruto and Sasuke's red entries, Izayoi wants to reveal Hinata's red entries more.
As long as he awakens Tenseigan, there will be nothing to worry about.
So he didn't want to miss this holiday either.
Arriving at the deserted training ground, Izayoi looked at Hinata and asked, "Hinata, have you learned the Three Body Technique?"
"Not yet." Hinata shook her head and said, "Father told me to focus on practicing Gentle Fist. I can practice those in my free time when the school teaches other ninjutsu."
"In that case, I won't teach you the Three Body Technique."
Izayoi smiled and said, "I will teach you a technique that will improve your Chakra control. Whether you are practicing your family's Gentle Fist or learning the Shadow Clone Technique, it will be twice the result with half the effort."
Hinata opened her beautiful eyes wide, and said in surprise, "Izayoi-kun, you...you want to teach me the Shadow Clone Technique?"
"That's right."
Izayoi nodded and said, "My real body will rarely go to school in the future. You can come here to find me anytime, or practice Shadow Clone Technique. Just like me, secretly let Shadow Clone go to class, and the real body will come to practice with me."
Hinata was very interested when she heard this.
After learning that Izayoi was taking Shadow Clone classes, Hinata had the idea of learning the Shadow Clone Technique.
Not for any other reason, I just don't want to be left too far behind by Izayoi.
But even if he told her that, Hyuga Hiashi would just let her focus on learning Gentle Fist and wouldn't teach her anything else, nor would he allow her to learn anything else.
Not to mention Shadow Clone Technique, Hinata doesn't even know Three Body Technique.
Now that she heard that Izayoi wanted to teach her the Shadow Clone Technique, she could sneak over here every day to practice with Izayoi, enjoying both the friendship and the free time she longed for.
Hinata was naturally very excited.
Seeing her expression, Izayoi knew what she was thinking.
"Come here, I'll teach you how to improve your Chakra control."
Izayoi smiled at Hinata and came under a large tree that could be hugged by several people.
He made a seal with his hands and said to Hinata: "Through the seal, gather the chakra under your feet, and then overcome the fear in your heart, like me..."
Under Hinata's wide-eyed, surprised gaze, Izayoi raised his right foot and stepped on the tree trunk.
As soon as his right foot stepped on the tree trunk, Izayoi raised his left foot and stepped on it.
Both of his feet were off the ground, and his body was straight in front of Hinata.
Then, one step at a time, as if walking on flat ground, Izayoi walked from the bottom of the tree to the top of the tree.
Turning to face Hinata below, Izayoi's body formed a right angle with the tree and smiled, "Use your feet to climb the tree. This is the technique I taught you."
"Wow… so awesome!"
Looking at Izayoi who had escaped gravity, Hinata was stunned.
Coming down from the tree, Izayoi said with a smile: "Climbing a tree with your feet is only the first stage. There is also the more difficult step of stepping on water with your feet."
"As long as you learn these two techniques, whether it is the Three Body Technique, the Shadow Clone Technique, or the Body Flicker Technique, it will not be difficult for you."
"Can I... can I really learn it?" Hinata was a little unconfident.
"Don't underestimate yourself. You are the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan."
Izayoi patted Hinata on the shoulder and encouraged her, "Go ahead and try. Don't be afraid of falling. I'll catch you."
"If you are left too far behind by me, I won't wait for you."
Izayoi said the last sentence with a hint of joking, as if he was teasing.
Just these words made Hinata firm up her mind and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
She had already disappointed her father, and she absolutely could not disappoint Izayoi again, and she did not want to lose her only friend.
