Chapter 57: Small Group Gathering, Just in Case
"We haven't seen each other for so long, want to have a party with us? Let's have barbecue, I'll treat."
Leaving school, Izayoi extended an invitation to Team 7 and Team 10.
Upon hearing that, Choji Akimichi and Naruto Uzumaki's expressions lit up.
"Alright, but let's go Dutch." Shikamaru Nara consented, but made a request.
After all, he was aware of how amazing Choji Akimichi's appetite was.
Even elite Jonin like Asuma-sensei had more than once been asked by Choji Akimichi to ask the boss to pay on credit.
Shikamaru Nara also had some knowledge about Izayoi's family life.
A civilian orphan, relying only on the village pension along with his parents' inheritance.
Although he's only been a Genin for a couple months, his pay may not even be enough to allow Choji Akimichi to have a barbecue.
"No need, have as much food as you need, I've still got tons of money lying around."
Becoming the incredibly wealthy ninja man that he is, Izayoi spread a smile with which Naruto Uzumaki and Choji Akimichi felt jealous.
Observing this, Shikamaru Nara kept quiet and decided to invite him once more in the future.
Sasuke Uchiha destroyed the scenery and mentioned, "I want to practice again."
"You can practice any time, relax today." Izayoi rested his hand upon Sasuke Uchiha's shoulder, and his eyes overflowed with danger.
"Alright."
Sasuke Uchiha, aware of what would happen to him if he didn't take in Izayoi, hugged his arms very proudly, looking hesitant.
Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka's eyes glistened, and they began daydreaming about sitting next to Sasuke Uchiha during meals.
Then, looking like they both knew what the other was thinking, they gave each other menacing looks, their eyes crossed into a line, and sparks were emitted.
They arrived at Konoha's largest barbecue restaurant and pushed three tables side by side for the nine new people to have their first barbecue party.
Naruto Uzumaki, having never eaten anything good before, competed with Choji Akimichi to see who could eat the most barbecue.
Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno sat next to Sasuke Uchiha, as courteous as ever, but Sasuke Uchiha was ill-looking.
Shikamaru Nara and Shino Aburame were seated, having juice and talking to Izayoi, speaking about the examinees they saw during the exam.
Izayoi responded while skillfully grilling meat for Hinata and putting it on Hinata's plate.
Hinata silently buried her face in eating, being very ladylike, but if you look closely, you will notice that her speed is not slower than that of Naruto Uzumaki and Choji Akimichi, who are chomping it down.
Her appetite is even more amazing than Naruto Uzumaki's, and she is no less than Choji Akimichi.
Slowly, Shikamaru Nara also understood this and looked at Hinata in surprise.
A person's hunger is truly no different than Choji's?
This rich girl is amazing!
As the party was closing, Izayoi pulled out a camera from nowhere and ordered his shadow clone to take them all a group photo.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi saw this sight, he would be in serious sighs, "This is the future of Konoha!"
This food didn't cost hundreds of thousands of Ryo for Izayoi.
Previously, Izayoi would have suffered a lot.
After all, he had only saved hundreds of thousands in six years.
But now, this money is not even a drop in the ocean.
And this meal also brought the classmates who had been classmates for six years closer.
They used to be not in the same circle, but now, they have faintly formed a small group.
Only Izayoi knew how valuable this group was.
There are two savers and Hokage, and the rest are heirs to rich families, or future Konoha Hospital and intelligence department heads, and rations suppliers of military personnel, etc.
Izayoi did not want to be friends when she was too busy brushing entries in the past.
With his ninja abilities now Six Paths level, since he will be staying in Konoha in the future, Izayoi does not want to expand his network of friends.
...
The next day, two in the afternoon.
Ring ring ring.
Hinata, who was sleeping, was woke up by the ringing of the alarm clock.
Rubbing her eyes, Hinata first glanced at Izayoi, who was still sleeping peacefully next to her, then slowly got up from bed, tied her hair back into a bun, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
"Izayoi-kun, wake up."
After washing up, Hinata squeezed toothpaste for Izayoi before waking him up.
"What time is it?"
Izayoi responded vaguely.
"It's already two o'clock in the afternoon."
"There's still an hour, let me sleep a little bit."
"Get up, quickly, dame desu."
Hinata pulled open the quilt and gently pushed Izayoi's body, refusing to let him sleep any longer.
"Then kiss me, or else I won't wake up." Izayoi started making conditions.
"Mu."
Hinata pouted her small mouth, her small face a little red, but still leaned over and kissed Izayoi's forehead.
"Too light, I don't feel it."
Mu~~a!
"Kiss my face."
Mu~~a!
"And here." Izayoi pointed to the other side of his face, his eyes having opened somewhere along the way, with a sly smile on his lips.
"Izayoi-kun, can you recognize who you look like now? Just like Hanabi."
Hinata rolled her eyes at Izayoi but still flushed and leaned in towards his other face and pecked him lightly.
Then he scooped up Izayoi.
"Hanabi much grew up with us. What is wrong with having the same personality as me?" Izayoi smiled and touched Hinata's flushed little face, and kissed her flushing little face as well.
"Go brush your teeth, your mouth stinks."
Hinata's flushed little face turned red even more, and she acted as if she hated Izayoi and pushed him into the bathroom.
Izayoi washed his teeth to the vaguely spoken words, "Hinata, go open the desk drawer and help me bring in the red box."
"Okay."
The Hinata, who was about to go pour the milk for Izayoi, nodded.
Before long, Hinata came in with a box.
She did not put it down and leave, but stepped aside and waited for Izayoi to be done washing up.
Before long, Izayoi rinsed his mouth and washed his face.
Upon receiving the handkerchief passed by Hinata and wiping his face, Izayoi opened the box, which contained two lenses.
"This is. glasses?"
Hinata was taken aback.
"No, these are cosmetic contact lenses."
Izayoi activated Tenseigan and put on the cosmetic contact lenses.
The pupils, which were originally sky blue with white streamer-like patterns close to the pupils, immediately returned to their original deep blue.
This was what Izayoi bought in the city where the villa was located and brought back to Konoha.
Watching Izayoi hide Tenseigan, the smart Hinata seemed like she knew something, and her face became serious, "Izayoi-kun, is this Chunin Exam dangerous?"
After watching the repulsion power and attraction power, Hinata did not think anyone from the Genin would be the rival of Izayoi.
But now, Izayoi was wearing cosmetic contact lenses, obviously prepared to use repulsion and attraction, but not wanting other individuals to know his pupil method.
What kind of enemy is he worth being treated this way by?
Hinata's heart was slightly melancholy.
"It's just in case. If all goes well, it will be pretty easy. If not, there might be a fierce battle."
Izayoi gazed at himself in the mirror and smiled significantly.
