Chapter 12: Cautious Izayoi Finally Pairs up with the Child of Destiny

  When March, the third semester was coming to an end,

  Since this time, Izayoi began going to school in his main body more and more frequently.

  Not only did he use his main body for his afternoon cssesbut even utilized it for morning cultural csses.

  First, March was graduation month for the sixth graders as well as major exam month for the other grades.

  There would be important year-end exams prior to the end of this semester.

  The year-end exam marks, along with the various quizzes and spot checks these three semesters, would be added into the overall grades.

  Then, the school would select the top student from the entire grade based on overall grades, and that was referred to as the css valedictorian.

  To rise above dozens or even hundreds of students in some csses, most of whom were children of the ninja cns, and be the top student of a grade was definitely the most brilliant genius.

  If he was a child of the ninja cn, then he would be the most superior one from the new generation of the family.

  If he was a normal family, then he would be a prodigy commoner who overpowered the ninja cn children.

  These css valedictorians were the strongest character type in the ninja school.

  Izayoi would not award others with the title of css valedictorian automatically.

  Their css was the best outstanding new generation.

  The kids belonging to the influential ninja cns all succeeded their cn head leaders.

  Having overpowered them to top his css valedictorian would be way more valuable than during other css grades.

  Conquering to css valedictorian and becoming the proven genius would allow him to attract the attention of Hinata without being that complicated of a mission ter on.

  Considering Izayoi's power nowadays, capturing css valedictorian title for himself would never be much work.

  Even if his main body failed to arrive, his shadow clones were able to overwhelm others very easily.

  However, Izayoi arrived with his main body as well.

  Because he realized that the current Konoha was already in disarray.

  Konoha Year 55, nine new genin were 7 years old.

  At the same time, a sensational event stunned the whole ninja community this year.

  That was, after the fall of the Senju, the richest cn in Konoha and even the richest ninja cn in the whole ninja world, would be destroyed by a boy who was merely thirteen years old.

  And this boy was Uchiha Itachi, son of the current cn leader and elder brother of Uchiha Sasuke.

  With this phenomenal record, Uchiha Itachi was the world's youngest S-rank rogue ninja.

  However, the Uchiha cn had not been wiped out by Uchiha Itachi himself. Not only were there the silhouettes of Konoha's high-ranking officials, but outsiders' help was also provided.

  Izayoi was among the few who shared this secret.

  At this time, the number one simp in the ninja world would make use of Kamui to enter Konoha freely.

  In case he did not get caught or notice by this simp, Izayoi was going to slow down his cultivation speed and not take Hinata to the deserted training grounds for cultivation before the Uchiha cn went extinct.

  Better safe than sorry.

  Hinata was the oldest daughter in the main household, and her Byakugan, without the caged bird seal, was worth more than gold on the bck market.

  After all, Ao, who possessed only one Byakugan, was an elite Jonin of the Hidden Mist Vilge and on Konoha's wanted list in gold.

  Who knew whether Uchiha Obito or the hidden Bck Zetsu would suddenly aim for Hinata's Byakugan.

  Izayoi, who had already made a contribution to the butterfly effect, would not wager on the vilin being benevolent.

  .

  March 20th.

  First to fifth grade students welcomed their year-end exams before the sixth graders' graduation exams.

  Early this morning, Izayoi arrived at the ninja school.

  But Hinata arrived at the cssroom even earlier than him.

  Once she confirmed the code and discovered Izayoi to be the principal body, Hinata smiled tenderly and said softly, "Izayoi-kun, good luck."

  "Yeah, let's give it our best shot together."

  Izayoi smiled and urged her in a soft tone, "Let's aim to get first and second pce."

  "Okay!"

  Hinata nodded eagerly, picturing the scene of Izayoi and herself in first and second pce on the results bulletin board.

  Previously, Hinata didn't chase rankings.

  But now, Hinata did not want to lose to anyone but Izayoi.

  She even had the ability to compete for second pce!

  Soon enough, the exam time came.

  The morning exam was cultural csses.

  Although they had learned the Three Transformation Techniques this semester, the school did not give them exams.

  Of course, not all sixth graders could master the Three Transformation Techniques.

  Even graduation only tested a single one of the Three Transformation Techniques.

  A newly graduated Genin who was able to use a C-rank Five Elements Ninjutsu had enough chakra to impress his Jonin instructor.

  This meant more than 90% of the first graders did not have the chakra for using the Three Transformation Techniques.

  Therefore, Uchiha Itachi's cultural knowledge was clearly only at the first-grade level, but just by using shadow clones to attend css, his teacher thought that he had nothing to learn and personally asked the Third Hokage to allow him to graduate early.

  Culture came second in this world, and power came first.

  Naruto Uzumaki was the best example.

  The morning test was not difficult for Izayoi and Hinata.

  The afternoon exam consisted of shuriken throwing, taijutsu fights, and the additional survival training.

  The tter two were not difficult either. Provided that Hinata did not get paired with Izayoi during the taijutsu fights, she would get full points even if she got paired with Sasuke Uchiha.

  In taijutsu, Hinata was already invincible in the first year.

  Her finishing techniques and pressure point attacks were the terror of children.

  But if she paired with Izayoi, then there would be zero possibilities of her being the css valedictorian.

  And why zero possibility of the css valedictorian?

  It was simple. Hinata had paired with Izayoi in these three semesters as well, and the result was automatically defeat.

  Her cumutive averages were already trailing those of Izayoi.

  Even if she were lucky enough to get full marks in all the subjects in the year-end exam, she would not be awarded the css valedictorian title.

  Simirly, even if Izayoi had been negligent in the cultural test and answered a question incorrectly, losing to Sakura Haruno by mistake, the tter would not be css valedictorian because of poor overall grades.

  In the first year, only Sasuke Uchiha, Shino Aburame, and Izayoi hadn't lost in actual fighting.

  Among the three, Sasuke Uchiha and Shino Aburame's overall grades for cultural exam weren't better than, nor as good as, Izayoi's, nor even better than, Hinata's.

  Even though they got full points on the year-end test, they would never be css valedictorian.

  As long as Hinata scored full in actual combat, she would certainly pce second.

  As long as there were no others from other csses with higher average grades than Hinata.

  But of course, it was not possible.

  On shuriken throwing, Izayoi attained full marks quite easily.

  On taijutsu matches, Izayoi fought with a person that everyone did not expect.

  "Second round, Izayoi versus Naruto Uzumaki."

  Css One, Grade One students formed a circle on the open field.

  Umino Iruka stood in the middle of the circle, holding a clipboard and screaming.

  "Eh."

  Hearing the name of his adversary, Naruto Uzumaki grasped his head in his hands, despairingly, "Why did my rival turn out to be Izayoi? I'm done for!"

  Cultural studies and throwing shuriken were nightmares for Naruto Uzumaki.

  The only time he had a sliver of chance at winning was during taijutsu fighting.

  But even that glimmer of hope now seemed lost to him.

  After all, Izayoi was an individual even a taijutsu devil like Hinata couldn't defeat.

  In contrast to desperate Naruto Uzumaki, Izayoi's eyes were sparkling.

  He had finally paired with this child of destiny!
