Chapter Summaries

On his first day at the Ninja Academy, Izayoi revealed his Talent Perks System and the exceptional talents he had acquired after changing his fate as a child. He had once planned to copy Naruto Uzumaki’s or Sasuke Uchiha’s potential, but a chance encounter with a Hyuga had made him reconsider as he entered the Academy.

• Izayoi arrived alone at the Ninja Academy as a new first-grade student and used his ability to inspect other people’s Talent Perks.
• He recalled that he had grown up in an orphanage, learned his parents’ history, and discovered he had been born into a ninja family without a surname or Kekkei Genkai.
• Izayoi summoned his Light Screen, which showed his six Talent Perks: Otsutsuki Bloodline, Super Kage Aptitude, Bloodline Limit, All-Attribute Constitution, Medical Genius, and Chakra Control.
• He explained that the Talent Perks System let him acquire other people’s perks by defeating them or copying one perk with its Newbie Gift Pack.
• Izayoi had planned to use the Gift Pack on Naruto Uzumaki or Sasuke Uchiha, but a chance encounter with a Hyuga made him pause and reconsider.

Izayoi gambled his copy slot on Otsutsuki Toneri’s rare Otsutsuki Bloodline perk after spotting Toneri visiting the Hidden Leaf Village as a child. Over the next three years, Izayoi’s talents advanced dramatically, and by age five he awakened the Byakugan without his eyes looking permanently different.

• Izayoi reasoned that Toneri’s pure Otsutsuki Bloodline could grant him greater potential than Naruto Uzumaki’s or Sasuke Uchiha’s perks, and decided to copy it.
• On Hinata Hyuga’s third birthday, Izayoi spotted blind Toneri and his father in the Hidden Leaf Village crowd as they used the Giant Tenseigan to look at Hinata before leaving.
• Izayoi copied Toneri’s red Otsutsuki Bloodline perk, then later upgraded his aptitude to Super Kage Aptitude after extracting Chakra for the first time.
• Izayoi unlocked All-Attribute Constitution a few months later and, at age five, activated the Byakugan while his eyes remained normal when it was inactive.

Izayoi entered Konoha’s Ninja Academy at the top of his class and reunited with Hinata, whose red Princess of the Byakugan perk he hoped to claim. After spotting Naruto and Sasuke, he assessed their perks and potential, leaving his plans to change Hinata’s fate still unresolved.

As summer vacation began, Izayoi invited Hinata to spend the break training and having fun, despite her father’s restrictions on her outings. He disguised himself as Ino Yamanaka and went to the Hyuga compound to escort Hinata out, leaving with their plan underway.

• Hinata celebrated their successful escape from the Hyuga grounds, and Izayoi led her into the forest to make sure no one was following them.
