Chapter 24 - Chapter 24 The tacit understanding between Izayoi and his father-in-law

 Just as Izayoi said to Hinata.

 The graduation examination does not take long.

 After just a short chat, other students who passed the graduation examination came to the playground one after another.

 Not long after, Umino Iruka also came.

 This means that the familiar faces who are not here are those who failed the graduation examination and were eliminated.

 If you look closely, you will find that the only familiar face who is not here is Uzumaki Naruto.

 "Classmates, I have kept you waiting for a long time."

 Umino Iruka held a file board and smiled, "Everyone wear the forehead protector. Now I will take you to take the file photo."

 "Teacher Iruka, where should the forehead protector be worn?"

 A classmate raised his hand and asked.

 "Anywhere on the upper body can be worn." Umino Iruka said.

 So, the classmates wore the forehead protector on their foreheads, tied it on their arms, hung it around their necks, or used it as a headband, etc.

 Hinata was one of the students who hung it around her neck.

 Izayoi tied it on his left arm.

 After everyone had put on their goggles, Umino Iruka took them to the rooftop of the complex building.

 The photographer had been waiting there for a long time with a vertical camera.

 After queuing up to take the archival photos, the students couldn't wait to leave the complex building, either walking slowly or rushing to the school gate.

 The school gate was already full of parents.

 Some parents were comforting the eliminated children, while others were looking at the school with expectation.

 They all knew that those who had not come out yet were all Genin who had passed the graduation assessment.

 With the appearance of the classmates, the school gate suddenly became lively.

 But this lively scene hurt some orphans without parents.

 They either looked at this scene with envy, or ran out of the school without even daring to look.

 Uchiha Sasuke was the former and the latter.

 Just a look of envy, he turned into a residual shadow and disappeared.

 Izayoi did not belong to the former or the latter.

 Because...

 "Onii-chan, sister, here here..."

 At the school gate, a girl's voice was particularly loud.

 Hanabi, wearing a yellow-brown kimono with flame patterns on the hem, was waving her hands at Izayoi and Hinata.

 Seeing this, Izayoi's mouth corners slightly raised, and Hinata also smiled faintly.

 Before reaching the school gate, Izayoi knelt down and hugged Hanabi who rushed towards him.

 "Onii-chan, sister, I'm here to pick you up."

 Hanabi hugged Izayoi's neck with both hands, and noticed the forehead protector on his arm at the first time, and asked curiously: "Onii-chan, is this the forehead protector for Genin?"

 "Yes, it's for you to play with."

 Izayoi nodded, took off the forehead protector and handed it to Hanabi, then picked Hanabi up and smiled at Hinata.

 Then the three of them left the school together.

 A few years later, Hanabi, who is now seven years old, has also changed a lot.

 In the original work, Hanabi of this age still had short hair that reached her shoulders.

 But seeing her sister grow long hair, she also deliberately grew long hair.

 Now her hair is as long as her waist as in the movie version, and the two strands of her bangs are tied into braids.

 When fighting or exercising, she either wears her black hair straight or ties it into a ponytail. With her determined eyes and serious expression, she looks a bit like the hero in Boruto.

 Maybe it's because of her precocious puberty, but Hanabi's development is much faster than Hinata's. She will grow to 1.7 meters in the future, but now she is 1.32 meters tall, just a little shorter than Izayoi.

 At this age, Hinata still has baby fat on her face.

 But Hanabi's face has lost a lot of baby fat and has become an oval face.   

 Hanabi imitated Hinata and hung the Genin forehead protector around her neck, then smiled at Izayoi and said, "Onii-chan, let's eat hot pot today to celebrate you and your sister becoming Genin."

 "It was obviously Hanabi who wanted to eat."

 Hinata stretched out her slender jade-like index finger and gently tapped Hanabi's forehead.

 "Hehe..."

 Hanabi stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and said, "It's our father who doesn't allow us to eat this kind of thing, but Hanabi just wants to eat hot pot today."

 Izayoi was touched by Hanabi's cute look, and immediately said, "Okay, let's eat hot pot today."

 "Great."

 Hanabi cheered immediately, and then "Onii-chan, I want to ride high again."

 "No."

 Hinata pouted and scolded, "Hanabi, you are so tall now, you can't do this again."

 "I'm only seven years old this year, what does it matter."

 Hanabi made a face at Hinata, and then acted coquettishly to Izayoi, "Onii-chan, please."

 "No problem."

 Izayoi immediately freed up one hand, made a strongman pose, and said, "Don't say she is seven years old, even if Hanabi is as tall as Onii-chan, she can still ride high."

 "You are worthy of being Onii-chan."

 Hanabi immediately put on an admiring look, then got down from Izayoi's arms and sat on his shoulders from behind.

 "Really..."

 Looking at Izayoi who was walking in front and was directed by Hanabi to the market, Hinata sighed helplessly at first, and then followed with a doting smile.

 Whoosh -

 not long after the three of them left, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air at their location. A

 closer look revealed that it was a member of the Hyuga clan wearing a green vest and with the same eyes as Hinata and Hanabi.

 This person was Hanabi's bodyguard.

 Hinata usually had a bodyguard when she went out, so how could Hanabi not have one?

 But for some reason, he did not protect Hanabi closely, but silently guarded her in the dark.

 Except for Hanabi, Izayoi and Hinata knew about the existence of the bodyguard.

 After six years, although Izayoi had not met Hyuga Hiashi, he had a tacit understanding with this future father-in-law.

 The former was responsible for gently nurturing Hinata and Hanabi, so that Hinata and Hanabi, who had lost their mother, could grow up in his care and doting; the latter treated them harshly and let them bear the glory of the rich family.

 Hinata and Hanabi, who lived a high-pressure life at home, naturally relied on Izayoi very much.

 Only in front of Izayoi, Hanabi would be lively at this age, full of playfulness and mischief.

 In front of Hyuga Hiashi, she was just like in the original work, a very precocious little adult.

 The same is true for Hinata.

 Going to the market to buy ingredients for hot pot, Izayoi also bought Hanabi's favorite glutinous rice dumplings and bananas, milk, and Hinata's favorite cinnamon rolls, Izayoi took the two girls home to have hot pot.

 After eating and drinking, the three sat on a long sofa again, digesting and chatting.

 Sitting next to Izayoi, Hinata, who finally stopped being reserved and leaned her head on his shoulder, suddenly said: "Izayoi-kun, it seems that only Naruto-kun has not graduated in our class."

 "Yeah."

 Izayoi, who was playing with Hanabi's bangs, nodded.

 When the two walked to the school gate, they noticed Uzumaki Naruto sitting on the swing at first sight.

 "Naruto-kun's chakra is so strong, why can't he even do a clone technique?" Hinata asked very puzzled.

 "Maybe his chakra control is very average."

 Izayoi said casually: "His academic performance is so poor, and his shuriken throwing has not improved much. He is the first to be eliminated in every survival exercise. The only bright spot is the physical skill duel. Maybe failing is a good thing."

 "Yeah."

 Recalling Uzumaki Naruto's performance in the past six years, Hinata nodded in agreement.

 But she and Hanabi, who was leaning on Izayoi's arms and squinting her eyes as if she was about to fall asleep, did not notice that when Izayoi was perfunctory, a small arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
