"Izayoi, Hinata, these are your vests."
Shizune, holding two Green Vests prepared in advance, handed them to Izayoi and Hinata with a smile.
"Thank you, Shizune-san."
Hinata thanked her with a gentle smile. If it weren't for the inconvenience of wearing a kimono, she would have wanted to put on the vest right away.

Although Izayoi had a smile on his face, he didn't like the Green Vest.
Simply because the appearance was too ugly.
Izayoi also decided that even if he became a Jonin in the future, he would be like Kurenai Yuhi, wearing whatever he wanted.
As long as you make a name for yourself, people will look at your name, not the Chunin vest or the Jonin vest you wear.
Seeing the two accept the vests, Tsunade stopped being serious and said with a smile, "You are all teammates in the same squad. In the past Chunin Exams, it was rare for two members of the same squad to be promoted to Chunin at the same time. So you have to discuss in advance who will be the leader of the squad."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Izayoi and Hinata nodded in response, but exchanged a smile.
Tsunade, who had just returned, either didn't know enough about Izayoi and Hinata, or was just teasing them.
After all, with Izayoi's strength and his relationship with Hinata, who was the leader of Eighth Squad was obvious.
"After becoming Chunin, you have the privilege of leading a team to receive missions and apply for village exit permits. As for the division of rewards, if there is no Guidance Jonin leading the team, then the team leader will receive the highest reward, and the Chunin teammates will receive more than the Genin teammates." Tsunade mentioned the benefits of being a Chunin, then waved her hand and said, "Alright, you can go back."
Hinata was about to bow when she heard Izayoi say, "Hokage-sama, I would like to recommend someone to join Konoha."
Hearing this, Tsunade, who was preparing to bury herself in work, and Shizune, who was placing the teacup on the desk, immediately turned their attention over.
Tsunade frowned slightly and said, "You are the Top Student, and now a Konoha Chunin. You should be clear about Konoha's position in the Land of Fire. To prevent spies from infiltrating the village, whether they are ninjas or ordinary people, if we can't find information about their ancestors and can't prove their innocence, it is difficult to join Konoha. So, does the person you recommend meet this condition?"
"I think they do." Izayoi nodded.
"Then tell me, is the person you are recommending an ordinary person or a ninja?"
Tsunade also became interested, put down her pen, picked up the tea poured by Shizune, and took a sip.
However, before she could swallow it, Izayoi's next words made her spit it out.
"She's a ninja, she's a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan."
"Pfft..."
Some documents were soaked by the tea, but Tsunade didn't care. Instead, she looked at Izayoi in astonishment, suspecting that she was hallucinating, and asked again, "What did you just say? A descendant of which clan?"
"A descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, she is my clansman." Izayoi repeated, and threw another Big Thunder.
"Cough cough..."
The remaining tea immediately choked Tsunade, causing her to cough repeatedly, her face flushed.
Shizune quickly patted her back gently, pressing on a certain acupoint.
At the same time, she also looked at Izayoi with a look of surprise.
No wonder the information stated his Chakra was so vast; it turns out he's a distant relative of Tsunade-sama.
Once Tsunade recovered, she immediately looked at Izayoi with excited eyes, tinged with a hint of doubt, and said, "You... you are a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan?"
"Yes."
Izayoi nodded, and then, without waiting for Tsunade to ask further, he rolled up his sleeve and presented his forearm to Hinata.
Hinata understood and gently held Izayoi's forearm, opening her mouth to bite down lightly.
Blue Chakra immediately appeared at the intersection of Hinata's mouth and Izayoi's forearm.
As soon as this Chakra emerged, it flowed like water into Hinata's body.
"Physical Stamina Healing..."
Seeing this, Tsunade's expression was somewhat dazed.
Since her grandmother's death, she didn't know how many years it had been since she had seen this familiar yet foreign healing method.
Coming back to her senses, Tsunade's gaze towards Izayoi immediately gained a hint of warmth.
It wasn't that she didn't know Izayoi's strength before, nor was she unaware of Izayoi's talent.
When she first saw the information collected by Shizune, she was also amazed by the Super Hurricane Combination Sphere developed by Izayoi, as well as the mysteries formed by the fusion of two and three nature transformations.
However, strong is strong, as the Hokage, Tsunade couldn't possibly fawn over a subordinate who was still a Genin.
At most, she would silently provide support on his path to promotion, allowing him to have unlimited potential and quickly become an existence like Kakashi Hatake.
Among the new generation, the only one who could receive special treatment from Tsunade was Jiraiya's disciple, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki's son, Naruto Uzumaki, who helped her overcome her hemophobia and allowed her to see the shadows of Dan Kato and Nawaki.
But now, there was one more person Tsunade had to treat specially.
The Uzumaki Clan was a distant relative of the Senju Clan, and it was normal to treat one's relatives specially.
"I didn't expect you to be a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan who awakened after generations."
Tsunade looked at Izayoi's black hair and couldn't help but smile, "To be able to awaken, even among the members of the Uzumaki Clan, very few can awaken Physical Stamina Healing. The purity of your bloodline should be very high, but to have black hair instead of red hair is truly rare."
"Perhaps it's because I also have the bloodline of the Senju Clan in my body." Izayoi threw out another Big Thunder, and under the dazed gazes of Tsunade, Shizune, and even Hinata, he raised his right hand, and a green sapling grew from the palm of his hand.
"..."
The Hokage Office fell into a deathly silence.
From Izayoi's perspective, he could see that the expressions of Tsunade and Shizune were slowly becoming dumbfounded and exaggerated.
"Ehhh—"
Then a cry of surprise broke the silence of the Hokage Office, shaking the Hokage Building violently.
If there weren't people guarding outside, and if there weren't people in the corridor,
Tsunade and Shizune's exclamation would definitely have attracted ninjas to break in.
If they hadn't sensed a Chakra surge, the Anbu would have quickly teleported over.
"Wood... Wood Release..."
Looking at the sapling in Izayoi's hand, even the heroic Tsunade couldn't help but stutter.
Shizune stared at the sapling in disbelief, unable to imagine that the legendary Kekkei Genkai would appear before her in this form.
This shock was no less than that of a beggar on the verge of starvation suddenly being found by his super-rich Father, and his Father was about to die, and he was the only son, about to inherit billions of assets.
Hinata also covered her small mouth, looking at Izayoi with a stunned and delighted expression.
Hinata knew more than Tsunade and Shizune; she was the only one who knew that Izayoi possessed the Tenseigan.
She had thought that the unknown powerful dōjutsu was Izayoi's Kekkei Genkai.
She never expected that Izayoi was actually a hybrid of the Uzumaki Clan and the Senju Clan, and had awakened the legendary Kekkei Genkai, Wood Release.
Once this news spread, it would definitely cause a huge uproar in Konoha and the Land of Fire, and even in the Shinobi World.
After all, the Ninja God pacified the troubled times and established the current system of one country, one village, just like the mythical story of the Sage of Six Paths establishing Ninshu was well known.
Moreover, compared to the mythical story of the Sage of Six Paths, which may or may not be true, the story of the Ninja God was only a few decades ago.
There are still many old monsters in the Shinobi World who have experienced the era of the Ninja God.
The Kekkei Genkai that pacified the troubled times has a very special significance to Konoha.
This is not only the legendary Kekkei Genkai, but also represents the orthodox noble title of Konoha.
As long as Izayoi exposes Wood Release, then neither Father nor the Clan Elders will stop her from dating Izayoi.
Thinking of this, Hinata was immediately excited.
A gust of wind blew past, and Tsunade appeared in front of Izayoi in a *Shunshin*, reaching out to grab his wrist and inputting green Chakra into Izayoi's body.
As if sensing something, Tsunade's face gradually became ecstatic.
"Hahaha... such vitality and Yin Release Chakra, it really is true Wood Release." Tsunade couldn't help but pat Izayoi's shoulder, laughing loudly, "You little brat, you clearly awakened this Kekkei Genkai a long time ago, but you've been hiding it all along, how could you stand it?"
The latest novel is first published at 69shu!
"I actually wanted to use it." Izayoi smiled meaningfully, "But a 13-year-old boy, who wiped out the strongest noble ninja clan in the Shinobi World overnight, and successfully escaped from Konoha, which was covered by a barrier, who would dare to use it?"
Hearing this, Tsunade's smile faltered slightly.
Looking at Izayoi, who clearly knew a lot and was extremely precocious, Tsunade instantly guessed that he had also awakened the Kagura Mind's Eye, her eyes were a little distressed, but on the surface, she nodded and praised, "Well hidden, you did the right thing."
Immediately, Tsunade showed a proud smile again, and patted Izayoi's shoulder heavily: "But from now on, you don't have to hide it anymore, I'll cover you from now on."
"I've been waiting for these words, Hokage-sama." Izayoi crushed the withered sapling and smiled at Tsunade.
From this moment on, Izayoi's identity and status will undergo earth-shattering changes.
In the past, he might have needed to use his strength to subdue the Hyuga Clan, or use his talent to prove his worth.
But now, Izayoi only needs to use Wood Release, and the Hyuga Clan will immediately become his simps.
Konoha, and even the Shinobi World, no one can refuse the temptation of Wood Release.
"By the way, where is the person you recommended?"
Tsunade seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask, "Is that person like you, who awakened the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline through generations, or is he a red-haired Uzumaki descendant?"
"Her name is Karin, a red-haired descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, and I've settled her in Sakura Street in the Land of Fire," Izayoi said truthfully. "Hinata and I met her in the Death Forest during the Chunin Exams. At the time, she was a ninja from the Grass Ninja Village, but because she awakened Physical Stamina Healing, she was used as a healing pack by the Grass Ninja. If I hadn't known something about the Uzumaki Clan and sensed the same origin of Chakra with my Kagura Mind's Eye, her fate might have been death due to severe life overdraft."
Tsunade's eyes instantly turned cold, and she sneered, "As expected, a bunch of old fools. Just because the Chakra is weak, they exclude the possibility of an Uzumaki Clan descendant? Since when did red hair become a common hair color in the Shinobi World? No wonder Konoha has weakened to this extent in just over a decade."
Immediately, Tsunade said domineeringly to Izayoi, "Your recommendation is too weak. Go bring back that girl named Karin, and I'll vouch for her."
"Yes."
Izayoi immediately nodded with a smile.
This was one of the reasons he revealed his Wood Release.
If it was just a Chunin or Jonin recommending her, Karin, a former Grass Ninja, would have to pass the Interrogation Department's test.
Locked in a small dark room, who knows what methods those psychologically twisted guys would use to inquire, or whether they would secretly use Genjutsu to hypnotize her, or Mind Reading Technique to forcibly read Karin's memories.
If that were the case, some of his secrets, such as Tenzō being in his hands, would definitely be exposed.
But if it was the legendary Sannin, or the Hokage, who vouched for her, then there was nothing to worry about.
These big figures all have the privilege to break the rules.
"Izayoi-kun, that's great!"
Coming out of the Hokage Building, Hinata finally couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and took the initiative to pounce into Izayoi's arms, tightly hugging the waist of the person she admired, and cheering softly in his arms.
Izayoi also hugged Hinata tightly, lowered his head, forehead to forehead, and smiled, "Happy?"
"Mmm..."
Hinata nodded vigorously.
Not only was she happy about becoming a Chunin, but even more so, she was excited and thrilled to find that there were no more obstacles between her and Izayoi-kun.
Perhaps emotions overwhelmed reason, and the shy Hinata suddenly looked up at Izayoi and boldly opened her mouth, "Izayoi-kun, I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Izayoi's finger touched her lips.
Izayoi looked around and smiled, "Someone is watching us, let's leave here first."
"Oh, oh..."
Hinata responded subconsciously and followed Izayoi out of the Hokage Building.
Turning into a narrow alley, Izayoi asked Hinata, "Hinata, what did you want to say just now?"
"N-nothing..."
Having calmed down, Hinata lowered her head shyly, tapping her fingers.
Although no steam was coming out, her little face must be flushed red at this moment.
After all, only Hinata knew how bold she had been just now.
Now that the emotion had subsided, Hinata no longer had the courage to say it.
However, she didn't notice that Izayoi's eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at her.
Izayoi knew very well what Hinata wanted to do just now.
That's exactly why he chose to interrupt.
Such romantic words should naturally be spoken at a more romantic moment.
And how could he let the girl speak first?
Izayoi grabbed Hinata's small hand and smiled, "Are you hungry? How about we go have Barbecue today?"
"Yes, yes..."
Hinata nodded with a smile, then glanced at the scroll tucked into her belt and couldn't help but ask, "Izayoi-kun, we've both been promoted to Chunin, should we treat everyone to a meal?"
"They should all be out on missions now. Let's wait until the new house is finished before we treat them to a big meal," Izayoi thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Okay, then let's go find Hanabi."
"Sure, it seems like Hanabi will be starting school soon too. Let's spend these few days playing with her."
"Yes, yes..."
The young boy and girl walked hand in hand down the path.
The sunlight shone down, and faintly behind them, one could see the shadows of two children wearing Snowman Suits, also holding hands.
