"Didn't we talk about this yesterday? The exam today won't take much time, you don't need to bring me breakfast," Izayoi said as he closed his Byakugan and stepped out of his room.
At a glance, he saw that Hinata was already sitting at the dining table, with several lunchboxes placed in front of her.
Izayoi said this, but without hesitation, he sat down and began eating the breakfast that Hinata had carefully prepared.
"I didn't want to make it, but I forgot to remind Hanabi yesterday," Hinata explained with a smile, her hands placed on the table. "Hanabi woke up earlier than me today and specially made you an exam lunch."
"I see. Hanabi really put in the effort," Izayoi said, a hint of understanding crossing his face. Then, as he opened one of the lunchboxes, he saw a rice ball with seaweed shaped like a successful exam, made using shredded radish, and his appetite instantly grew.
"Looks like all the effort with my little sister wasn't in vain," Izayoi thought as he smiled inwardly.
"Eat some too, I can't finish all this by myself," Izayoi said while continuing to eat.
"No, I already had breakfast at home," Hinata shook her head and then stood up, walking over to the fridge.
Opening the fridge, she took out a bottle of milk and poured a glass for both Izayoi and herself.
From waking Izayoi to now pouring the milk, Hinata's actions seemed entirely natural, without a hint of awkwardness, as if this were her own home. And in fact, it was.
Izayoi and Hinata hadn't gone to their old meeting place in a few years. Although Izayoi had never entered the Hyuga clan's estate, both Hinata and Hanabi had already treated his home as their second home.
Both Hinata and Hanabi had keys to Izayoi's house.
Whenever they had free time, they would come over to Izayoi's house to spend time.
The milk and food in the fridge were all bought by Hinata and Hanabi.
Even the cleaning of the house was either handled by Hinata or the three of them working together.
Both Izayoi and Hinata had long since gotten used to this kind of interaction.
After finishing breakfast and washing the dishes, Izayoi and Hinata left the house together, heading toward the ninja school.
The attractive combination of the handsome Izayoi and the beautiful Hinata drew a lot of attention on the road.
Six years had passed, and not only had Izayoi grown into a handsome young man, but he had also reached a height of 1.63 meters.
This height wouldn't be considered much in the Hidden Cloud Village, where many people were of Caucasian or African descent.
But in Konoha, where the average height of people of the same age was around 1.5 meters, Izayoi stood out as being head and shoulders above his peers.
The same could be said for Hinata by his side.
Izayoi had already forgotten how tall Hinata was in the original series.
However, it was certain that the Hinata in the original series, both in terms of height and figure, was not as tall or developed as the current Hinata.
Thanks to her "big eater" trait, she never lacked nutrition, and with her impressive physical activity, Hinata's height had already reached 1.55 meters, taller than most girls her age by 6 or 7 centimeters.
A few more centimeters, and she would be as tall as the version of Hinata from the original "Shippuden" series.
This height also made the original 12-year-old Hinata's figure stand out even more.
Even when wearing a loose white cloak, her impressive figure was hard to conceal.
If she were to unzip the cloak and reveal the tight black fishnet lining underneath, bending over in that pose would be quite a breathtaking sight.
For this reason, when Izayoi woke up and looked at her again, his gaze was immediately drawn to her.
He couldn't help but marvel in his heart, thinking that this was the magic of the two-dimensional world.
Only in the two-dimensional world could there be a loli at this age with such a figure.
"Good morning, Izayoi-kun, Hinata."
"Good morning, Minako."
"Still inseparable as ever, you two really aren't a couple?"
Today was March 21st, and students from the first to fifth grades had already completed their end-of-year exams yesterday.
The sixth-grade students, however, had their graduation assessments one day later.
So, when they arrived at school, the campus was quieter than usual.
The only people to be seen were the sixth-grade students.
At the entrance, there were already quite a few parents standing around, a rare sight as they accompanied their children to school and waited for the results outside.
Six years of hard work – whether the child could break free from mediocrity and become a ninja all came down to today.
Of course, the parents waiting at the entrance were either ordinary people or civilian ninjas.
The children from ninja clans didn't have their parents come to wait. For them, the graduation assessments were just a formality.
Their ninja headbands were already in their possession.
Even if they failed the graduation assessment, they could still use their family's secret techniques to join certain departments and become special ninjas.
On the way to the classroom, Izayoi and Hinata met several classmates, both male and female, who greeted them warmly.
Those who were familiar with the two even joked about Izayoi and Hinata's relationship.
In response, Izayoi just smiled and didn't speak.
Hinata, however, lowered her head slightly, her cheeks turning red.
As the top student in the class, Izayoi's popularity and level of welcome didn't quite match up to Uchiha Sasuke's.
The reason was, of course, Hinata by his side.
The two of them had been sitting next to each other since first grade and had always been inseparable.
At the beginning, some of the girls hadn't noticed their relationship and often surrounded Izayoi.
However, each time they invited him, they were politely rejected, and after realizing that Izayoi's attitude toward Hinata was different from how he treated them, they gradually stopped bothering him.
Of course, if Hinata were just an ordinary girl, those girls would surely have felt jealousy or even attempted to bully Hinata.
However, Hinata was not only the daughter of a prestigious ninja family, but her grades were also consistently in the top three.
Her skills in pressure point striking made her the "queen of taijutsu" in the class.
The boys and girls in the class were all afraid of her pressure point technique. Once a pressure point was hit, intense pain or paralysis would flood the body.
That sensation was even worse than taking a punch.
Almost everyone in the class had experienced the effects of her pressure points.
Those girls naturally didn't dare to provoke Hinata.
Moreover, besides Izayoi, the class also had Uchiha Sasuke, so they had another target to focus on.
Gradually, Izayoi's surroundings became quieter.
With Hinata as his shield, Izayoi didn't have to come up with excuses to reject invitations from his classmates every day and sometimes even had time to handle their requests.
When they reached the classroom, many students had already arrived.
Some were whispering to each other, though it was unclear what they were talking about.
Others were sitting at their desks, their faces tense and their fists clenched, showing how nervous they were.
Even Naruto, who had just been caught drawing graffiti on the Hokage Monument yesterday and had the entire class subjected to an impromptu transformation jutsu exam, was uncharacteristically sitting quietly today.
Once Izayoi and Hinata sat down at their desks, they began to gossip quietly.
Looking at them, a girl sitting next to Hinata with a look of envy in her eyes thought, "Top students really have the confidence."
Unlike her, who had felt nervous since yesterday and couldn't even sleep the night before.
