Time, without anyone noticing, quietly turned the page to Year 62 of Konoha.
Counting back, in Year 61 of Konoha, within a mere twelve months, several major events occurred.
First was the Hidden Cloud Village incident, which happened at the end of Year 60 but only spread throughout every corner of the Shinobi World in Year 61.
Then came the Five Kage Summit, held again after several decades.
Everyone initially thought it was the Akatsuki attacking the Hidden Cloud Village, and the latter retaliating by starting a war.
Who would have thought that this was the work of a visitor from the Moon?
Toneri Otsutsuki, possessing the Sage Eye, the Tenseigan, in order to retrieve the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, did not hesitate to ignite war in the Shinobi World, personally orchestrating the conflict between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Akatsuki.
Following that was the peak showdown of extraordinary power, the first since the Valley of the End Battle between the God of Shinobi and the Shinobi World Asura.
That battle shattered the worldview of everyone in this era.
A rain of meteors, a fiery red cloud pressing down, a green sea of trees like a tsunami, a towering Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue reaching the heavens, a vast range of Repulsion storms like invisible hurricanes...
After this battle, the Shinobi World entered a new era of the Sage Eye.
The leader of the Akatsuki and Toneri Otsutsuki both appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old.
Everyone believed that the Shinobi World would be ruled by the Sage Eye for the next few decades, and the Five Great Shinobi Villages might become dust in history at any moment.
Toneri Otsutsuki, controlling his Human Puppet army, attacked the Five Great Shinobi Villages for a long time, using their elites for training, further solidifying their fears.
Perhaps when the Endgame Battle concluded, it would be the moment to pronounce the fate of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Unexpectedly, the Endgame Battle erupted before even a year had passed.
The victor was neither the Akatsuki leader nor Toneri Otsutsuki, nor the suddenly appearing Wood Release Ninja, but the Shinobi World Asura, Madara Uchiha, who had been dead for decades.
It turned out that the legendary Rinnegan possessed the ability to completely resurrect others.
Moreover, the Akatsuki leader who resurrected Madara Uchiha seemed completely fine, and this resurrection ability appeared to have no side effects.
However, no one dared to covet these eyes.
Because after Madara Uchiha was resurrected, he took the Rinnegan from the Akatsuki leader, and the latter offered no resistance.
Although the Akatsuki leader lost the Rinnegan, he was still recognized as an extraordinary power in the Shinobi World.
After all, besides the Rinnegan, he also possessed powerful Wood Release Ninjutsu.
Amegakure, possessing two extraordinary powers, instantly became the strongest village in the Shinobi World.
But with the experience of the Endgame Battle and the existence of Madara Uchiha, outsiders no longer dared to travel to the rebuilt Amegakure.
Only the villagers of Amegakure still returned to this village, simply rebuilt with Wood Release, to live.
Perhaps the Five Great Nations signed an alliance agreement, or perhaps Konoha's Wood Release Ninja had already joined forces with Toneri Otsutsuki.
The current Shinobi World was caught in a strange balance.
Madara Uchiha and the Akatsuki leader seemed to have no intention of attacking the Five Great Shinobi Villages, and Toneri Otsutsuki and Izayoi did not attack Amegakure.
However, everyone knew that they were merely accumulating strength again.
When a certain opportunity arises, a war even more intense than the Endgame Battle is sure to erupt.
To prevent their cemeteries from being plundered and to strengthen Amegakure, the shinobi villages, led by the Five Great Shinobi Villages, all voted in favor of digging up graves and opening coffins to retrieve the remains of the powerhouses who did not appear in the Endgame Battle. These remains would be sealed in scrolls, with only their relics (relics/personal effects) left in the coffins, which would then be reburied.
Compared to the desecration of remains, the desecration of souls is far more serious.
Even if the owners of these souls knew, they would surely strongly approve, absolutely not wanting to one day become enemies of the village they had always protected.
The above are the major events that occurred in Konoha Year 61.
Besides the major events, many minor things also happened in the various shinobi villages.
For example, Mei Terumi, who led the Hidden Mist ninja in a two-month battle against the Human Puppets, gained the loyalty of the Hidden Mist ninja and the support of the people of Hidden Mist Village. At the end of Konoha Year 61, she officially succeeded as the Fifth Mizukage.
This happened much earlier than in the original story.
For example, the Fourth Raikage worked hard to improve himself, began delegating authority to Darui, whom he was fully training, and went with Killer B to train in Kumorai Gorge, next to the new Hidden Cloud Village, determined to master his father's strongest shield and strongest spear.
For example, Ōnoki had Kitsuchi contact Deidara, hoping he would return to Hidden Stone Village to train in Dust Release. After being refused again, he finally stopped insisting on only passing Dust Release to his successor and instead guided Kitsuchi and Kurotsuchi in nature transformation training, hoping they could master the Kekkei Tota, Dust Release, and survive in the torrent of the new era.
For example, Gaara finally finished his cultural studies and began leading Sand Ninja on missions. He also became a Jonin of Sunagakure, gradually dissolving the villagers' and ninja's rejection and fear of him, and gaining his own support group.
Since the four great shinobi villages were like this, Konoha was even more so.
Among the Konoha Year 60 graduates, Izayoi was not only the fastest to become a Chunin but also the first Jonin of the new generation.
As he became an all-rounder Jonin, the Eighth Squad became a nominal existence.
Because Hinata became a Chunin as quickly as Izayoi, followed by Shino Aburame.
Just as Tsunade said, having the Eighth Squad perform missions was too much of a waste.
Therefore, the Eighth Squad was disbanded, and unless it was a super urgent mission, they would likely not gather again.
Izayoi persuaded his future father-in-law and Tsunade to become the instructing Jonin for Hanabi, who applied for early graduation and passed the graduation exam. The time he spent with his little sister-in-law suddenly surpassed that with Hinata.
The precocious Hanabi knew very well that Izayoi would definitely become the Sixth Hokage.
Once Izayoi succeeded as Hokage, he would have no time to accompany her.
When she grew up, perhaps their future interactions would not be as casual as they were now.
Therefore, Hanabi wanted to take advantage of the fact that she was still young and Izayoi was still free to act spoiled to her heart's content and create more beautiful memories.
Izayoi, of course, did not know his little sister-in-law's thoughts.
He only found that after his little sister-in-law didn't have to go to school and could freely come to find him, she became more clingy than before.
Izayoi had no resistance to becoming his little sister-in-law's instructing Jonin.
Having reached this level of strength, Izayoi no longer needed to train.
The seven nature transformations and the Super Hurricane Sphere Combination allowed Izayoi to unlock the Ninjutsu Genius (Blue) Perk and quickly upgrade it to Ninjutsu Master (Purple).
After mastering the Truth-Seeking Ball, the strongest ninjutsu, the Perk might even upgrade again.
The Otsutsuki Clan's space-time talent also allowed Izayoi to easily master space-time ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Before even becoming the Sixth Hokage, Izayoi had already learned most of the forbidden jutsu in the Book of Sealing.
All Izayoi lacks now is time.
Once his birthday passes, Izayoi will truly enter his growth spurt.
Although the past two years were also a growth period, compared to the next two years, it's not on the same level at all.
Uzumaki Naruto is the best example.
When he first graduated, his height was the shortest in the Seventh Squad.
However, by Shippuden, his height had grown to 1.66 meters, and as an adult, he grew to 1.8 meters.
Izayoi also possesses the Sage Body (Red).
He also has the Sage Eye (Red), and the physical and mental energy within his cells far surpasses Uzumaki Naruto's, as well as the Otsutsuki Bloodline (Rainbow) which is superior to both the Sage Body and Sage Eye.
It is precisely because of this incredibly overpowered configuration that Izayoi possesses super-standard combat power even before entering his true growth spurt.
Now that he is entering his true growth spurt, Izayoi's changes in the next two years will reach an unbelievable level.
In the two years since graduation, Izayoi's changes have also been astonishing.
When he first graduated, Izayoi's height was only 1.63 meters.
Two years later, Izayoi's height has already grown to 1.78 meters.
At this age, having such a height is extremely rare in the Land of Fire.
Even with the Sage Body and Otsutsuki Bloodline, it shouldn't be this outrageous.
But in addition to these top-tier Perks, Izayoi also has a treasure trove, which is... the Gelel Stone mine.
Since who knows when, the water in Izayoi's private hot spring bath has been a shade of blue.
The stones at the bottom of the pool are all Gelel Stones.
The pool water contains astonishing life energy and Natural Energy.
By absorbing this energy, Izayoi's development speed far surpasses that of his peers.
This is true not only for Izayoi but also for Hinata, Karin, and Hanabi.
Hinata's height and figure have now surpassed her appearance in the original Shippuden, and even the Tenseigan movie, reaching 1.68 meters, the same height as Shizune.
With two more centimeters, she'll be as tall as Hanabi in Boruto.
Karin, who possesses the Uzumaki Bloodline, has also developed significantly, reaching 1.65 meters.
However, her figure is still on the same level as Shizune's, and every time she walks with Hinata, she feels a sense of frustration.
Because whether male or female, their eyes never look at Karin.
Fortunately, Hinata usually likes to wear kimonos. If she wore a T-shirt, the sight would definitely be more impactful than a Tailed Beast Ball.
Besides Tsunade and Samui, no one can hold their head high in front of Hinata.
In Izayoi's previous life, Hinata would be the kind of girl who drives a large G-wagon at a young age, a true rich young lady.
Every time the Seventh Squad and Tenth Squad come to the Hokage's office to accept missions, Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka receive a huge blow.
It's one thing for the Hokage, but how can Hinata, who is the same age as them, or even a few months younger, be so outrageous?
They can't compare in background, they don't have a bloodline limit, and they don't have a perfect boyfriend, but how can heaven favor Hinata so much in terms of looks and figure?
It's simply too much!
With Izayoi's Chakra and the Gelel Stone as a cheat, and Tsunade's guidance, Hinata and Karin have not only undergone physical changes but also seen astonishing improvements in their strength.
Hinata has become a strong Taijutsu user with a balance of hard and soft styles, and she has finally mastered the Mitotic Regeneration.
Karin, who has awakened all the unique abilities of the Uzumaki Clan, has completely inherited Tsunade's mantle. Not only has she mastered the Senju Clan's Chakra burst and become a Steel Fist master, but she has also learned most of the Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques. Combined with the Adamantine Sealing Chains, anyone bound by them will be instantly killed by Karin, just like a Tailed Beast bound by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's chains.
Furthermore, with the Perks of Physical Healing and Medical Genius (Blue), Karin's medical Ninjutsu skills are close to Shizune's.
In another year or two, she should completely surpass Shizune.
As Tsunade's right-hand women, the two girls also successfully passed the exam and were promoted to Special Jonin at the end of Konoha Year 61.
Hinata was promoted once a year, while Karin was even more outrageous, going from Genin to Special Jonin in one year.
The names and reputations of the two girls not only spread throughout Konoha but also broke through the circle and reached other Great Shinobi Villages.
No one knows who spread it, but the Ninjas of Konoha all know one thing: Hinata and Karin are capable assistants specifically trained by Tsunade for Izayoi.
They are not only the Fifth Hokage's secretaries but will also be the future Sixth Hokage's secretaries.
Hinata is also Izayoi's girlfriend, and Karin even lives in Izayoi's house.
Whether they are civilians or Ninjas, whether they are Genin, Elite Jonin, or Anbu, all Ninjas are very respectful to Hinata and Karin.
Among the three girls, the one with the least change in the past two years is only Hanabi.
When Izayoi first graduated, Hanabi's height was 1.32 meters. After two years, she has only grown to 1.4 meters.
Because she is not old enough, Izayoi doesn't dare to give her too big of a cheat.
Besides the Big Eater attribute, Hinata also has the Physical Healing from Izayoi absorbing the Gelel Stone, as well as the Gelel Stone used for bathing.
Hanabi, on the other hand, can only absorb Izayoi's Chakra containing the life energy of the Gelel Stone. When bathing, Izayoi also won't let her bathe in water with the Gelel Stone.
However, with this height, she is still outstanding among the third-year students of the Ninja Academy.
When Uzumaki Naruto just graduated, his height was only 1.47 meters.
When his Little Sister-in-Law is two years older, Izayoi can give her an acceleration cheat.
Coupled with his Little Sister-in-Law's excellent genes, by the time she reaches Hinata's age, she might already be a super beautiful girl of 1.7 meters.
Thinking of his Little Sister-in-Law transforming into the number one goddess of Boruto in a few years, Izayoi is full of anticipation.
Physical Healing + Gelel Stone is good, really good.
Gelel Stone + Physical Healing is great, really great.
Besides the three girls around Izayoi, the Third Squad of Konoha's Class of 59, which is Might Guy's squad.
And the other graduates of Konoha's Class of 60 have also undergone astonishing changes in the past two years.
In the Chunin Exam in the first half of Konoha Year 61, Sasuke Uchiha, Shino Aburame, Neji Hyuga, Shikamaru Nara, Hinata, and Karin all became Chunin.
In the Chunin Exams held in the latter half of the year, Rock Lee, Uzumaki Naruto, and Choji Akimichi also became Chunin. Uzumaki Naruto broke the Genin curse and could no longer achieve the super leap from Genin to Hokage.
Sasuke Uchiha did not participate in the Special Jonin exam. He planned to continue doing missions for a while and apply for the Jonin exam in Year 62 of Konoha.
Hyuga Neji was the same.
Shino Aburame, on the other hand, joined the Anbu. Since it was an organization directly under the Hokage, Izayoi and the others were unaware of his situation.
Currently, among the new generation, only Sakura Haruno, Tenten, and Ino Yamanaka were still Genin.
However, the reason they couldn't become Chunin was that the boys in their teams had stolen the spotlight.
Now, within their squads, only they were not Chunin.
By the next Chunin Exam, as long as they weren't particularly unlucky, they should all be promoted to Chunin.
If nothing unexpected happened, after the Chunin Exam in the first half of Year 62 of Konoha, the most special batch of the new generation would all be promoted to Chunin.
After one or two more promotions, they could carry the banner of their families and become the backbone of Konoha.
The above is the summary of Year 61 of Konoha.
January 6th, Year 62 of Konoha.
Winter had not yet left, and Konoha was still covered in silver.
Izayoi woke up early today, uncharacteristically without Hinata and Hanabi coming to wake him.
And he didn't wake up naturally, but rather... woke up itchy!
This was an extremely bizarre occurrence for Izayoi, who possessed the Otsutsuki Bloodline (Colored) and the Sage Body (Red).
But this was reality.
The itch wasn't on his body, but on the two bumps on his head.
Izayoi instinctively scratched a few times and was pricked by something sharp, which completely woke him up.
Without even putting on his shoes, Izayoi quickly went into the bathroom and lifted his hair to check the area slightly above his hairline.
He saw two small, sharp, beige-colored horn tips growing among his white hair.
Seeing this, the corner of Izayoi's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and he murmured, "They finally grew out. I wonder if the Shikotsumyaku can control these two horns?"
Before Izayoi could try, the second surprise followed.
"Hiss..."
The eyeballs in the mirror suddenly wriggled, a terrifying and frightening sight.
The indescribable sensation made Izayoi instinctively raise his hand to cover his eyes and gasp.
Immediately, the corner of his mouth curled up again, and he laughed, "Surprises just keep coming, wave after wave. Today must be my lucky day!"
The third Fetal Movement of the Tenseigan, the final one, had finally arrived!
