Chapter 30: Reliving Childhood, Air Palm
"...Alright, that's our tactic."
Half an hour later, Izayoi gazed at Hinata and Shino Aburame before him and smiled, "I'll leave it to you tomorrow, Hinata, Shino."
"Okay, I'll do my best." Hinata shook his head firmly.
"Don't worry."
Shino Aburame nodded weakly as well, but the inner self of him was not as calm as his outer self, but rather made a wave.
In his body, which was transformed into an insect nest, some insects were giving him feedback.
Izayoi's chakra was amazing.
Among his friends, only Naruto Uzumaki could be equal to him.
No wonder he mastered so many ninjutsu and developed powerful ninjutsu himself.
This guy without a surname might not all be civilian ninjas in his ancestors.
Maybe in some period, there were amazing existences.
Otherwise, his amount of chakra couldn't be so exaggerated.
"In that case, let's retreat."
Observing Hinata and Shino Aburame conforming to his tactics and going along with his preparations, Izayoi nodded in satisfaction, and was next about to retreat on the spot.
"Izayoi, don't we prepare traps?" Shino Aburame asked after composing himself.
"There's no need."
Izayoi shook his head and responded, "Ordinary traps will not affect Jonin. Proper traps must utilize proper and expensive props, and they might not be effective against Jonin, and would hurt our own."
"If my assessment is correct, then this is enough for us to succeed in the test."
Hinata and Shino Aburame nodded a little, reasoning that what Izayoi described made sense.
"Because there is no necessity to set traps, I'll leave first."
Shino Aburame uttered this and left with his hands in his pockets.
Kurenai Yuhi learned that Izayoi and Hinata's relationship was peculiar by self-introduction only.
Shino Aburame and such classmates knew about it three years ago.
Shino Aburame certainly wouldn't accompany them to be a sight to see, then.
Although he was a perv, he only wanted to gossip.
But in order to maintain the Aburame clan's style (nature), Shino Aburame didn't do it.
As Shino Aburame vanished from sight until he couldn't see his back, Izayoi took Hinata's little hand and smiled, "Hinata, we don't seem to have had a picnic for a very long time. How about we eat grilled fish for lunch today?"
"Okay!"
Hinata remembered the picnic with Izayoi a few years ago after training, and her beautiful eyes shone. She shook her head with great enthusiasm.
Izayoi and Hinata hadn't gone to the destroyed training ground for several years since finding out about her father's cooperation and Hanabi's enrollment.
They trained in the backyard of Izayoi's house or the first-floor dojo.
They took food either from Hinata's house or cooked it at Izayoi's house.
The childhood grilled fish and hunting barbecue and the hot times together turned into Hinata's good memories.
Since Izayoi had talked about such recollections, now she indeed wanted to enjoy once again the few years ago sentiments.
Thus the two of them held hands and went to the known small river.
Izayoi and Hinata let shadow clones carry out the fishing task.
The two of them, as the main body, stepped onto the flowing water and engaged in a taijutsu battle on the small river.
The air waves from the collision of chakra splashed abundant ripples and water.
The thunderous sound also frightened the animals and birds in the forest on both sides of the small river, who fled in fright.
Once all became quiet again, white smoke rose, and the aroma disseminated.
The whole noon, Izayoi and Hinata spent out in the field, recalling memories of their childhood.
....
On the next day, at 8:30 in the morning.
Izayoi and Hinata were at the training ground.
In front of the tree stump, Shino Aburame already stood there, as if he had been waiting for a very long time.
"Good morning, Shino." Izayoi raised his hand to bid Shino Aburame.
"Morning."
Shino Aburame responded with a nod.
The environment immediately turned silent.
Izayoi, having read the original work, knew that Shino Aburame secretly had a perverted nature.
But yet, Izayoi was unable to find a subject to speak with him.
After all, Shino Aburame was too low in presence. He had no classmate friend and his interest was in hunting insects. They had nothing in common.
So after greeting, Izayoi did not know what to say.
And knowing Shino Aburame's hidden side, and unaware whether he had insects to spy on, Izayoi didn't whisper to Hinata as well.
Therefore, he sat down against a tree stump, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for Kurenai Yuhi to arrive.
Hinata also had her hands inside her pockets, sitting next to Izayoi.
Time continued passing by every minute.
When a "whoosh" sound of breaking through the air came into their ears.
Izayoi awoke, and in front of them was standing Kurenai Yuhi already.
"Teacher Kurenai."
Izayoi and the other two two talked formally.
"Good morning, I've kept you waiting."
Nodding with a smile, Kurenai Yuhi brought forth three bells from her body and said, "Your next assignment is really simple, that is, in less than one hour, whatever the case is, even if you kill me, you will steal these three bells from me."
Having fastened the bells to her waist, Kurenai Yuhi took a small alarm clock out from her body and set it to ring automatically after sixty minutes.
Leaving the alarm clock on the tree stump, Kurenai Yuhi stood opposite Izayoi and the other two and instructed them, "Now... officially start."
The moment the voice fell, the figures of Izayoi and the other two dissipated into thin air.
Only the gentle blowing of leaves by the wind reached Kurenai Yuhi's ears.
Looking around at the surrounding woods, Kurenai Yuhi's lips curled into a smile, showing an air of confidence.
She did not teleport to attack one by one.
Instead, she moved consciously to an open place, waiting for Izayoi and the other two to act.
This was not arrogance, but one of cognition.
Kurenai Yuhi had also gone to ninja school and knew what the school learned.
Even if Izayoi and the other two were excellent, they only excelled at the fundamentals and had mastered the low-rank ninjutsu and family secret techniques their families had taught them.
The Aburame and Hyuga clans were renowned ninja clans in the ninja universe. Not only did their own people know what they were proficient in and how to fight, but even other villagers had mastered them.
Although she was an illusionist, she was at least a two-mastered nature transformation Jonin who was multi-talented.
Not to mention Izayoi and the other two, even if several more Genin teams joined together, they wouldn't be her enemies.
Kurenai Yuhi thought so.
But the very next second, she was frightened into a cold sweat.
"Eight Trigrams: Air Palm!"
Only the feeble scream of a girl was heard, far and near.
Then a ghastly shock wave, an intangible wall, hit Kurenai Yuhi at a ridiculously high velocity.
Wherever it went through, massive dust was kicked up.
Observing the rolling dust, Kurenai Yuhi's eyes were narrowed. She was unable to activate chakra immediately to use the teleportation technique in time, so she only backed off instinctively.
The shock wave whizzed past her, but the dust engulfed her.
Boom boom boom.
The shock wave galloped through the forest and flattened some of the trees embraced by a number of people, and this testified to its force.
The atmosphere was now brought to the origin site of the shock wave, under a towering tree, there were two indistinguishable white-eyed girls standing back to back, hand to hand.
Hinata and her shadow copy.
