'Oh my, was Jiraiya this courageous? ' Izanami naturally noticed the malice emanating from Jiraiya. And this made her very puzzled. She never remembered Jiraiya being such a courageous person who would dare to show such obvious malice towards her after all that punishment she made him go through.
' Did all these years of relaxation make him forget the pain? Hmm, this seems to be the most likely case. Oh well, the second time would be enough to refresh his memories,' Izanami thought as an evil look appeared on her face.
Just as she was about to refresh Jiraiya's memory with a round of mental torture, she was stopped by someone unexpected.
It was a rather average male teacher who knew when to suck up to the right person. The teacher had a fawning smile and greeted Izanami with various flatteries. He was an ancient scholar who had been struck by enlightenment.
All in all, at the end of his speech, Izanami was very much satisfied with this guy.
'Damn, this guy is really a great talent. He should definitely get a raise, ' and just as Izanami thought of this, she also sprang into action. She took out a pouch from her sleeves and threw it to the teacher and said with a smile,
"Hahaha, good, good. You are really talented. Here, take this small sum as a token of my appreciation. " Izanami said, laughing very happily. She was obviously in a very good mood now.
The teacher also laughed and repeatedly expressed his gratitude. He curiously took a peek inside and almost screamed out of fright.
Inside the pouch, there were at least 100,000 ryo stacked. What's more, the teacher realized this seemingly ordinary pouch is a rare space ninjutsu treasure. And this alone is enough to auction off this pouch for at least another 100,000ryo.
"Hahaha, thank you, Lady Izanami, for your generosity. " The man was so happy that his smile was practically splitting his whole face. Had it not been for the occasion, he would really want to jump and scream in delight.
His other co-workers all looked at him enviously. 'Damn, why didn't I think of this?' They all thought as they felt their hearts bleed with jealousy.
"Okay, I think there is no one who has any objections to me becoming the new chief examiner. " Izanami said as she looked at Jiraiya with a smile.
Jiraiya gritted his teeth, but he ultimately decided to admit defeat and said, " Yes, since it is the Hokage's orders, we all have no objections to Miss Izanami becoming the chief examiner. "
The other teachers also nodded in agreement. Even if they have any dissatisfaction, they dare not voice it at this moment.
"Good, since there are no objections, let's get down to business. The test should be held like ... and it should also include …." As Izanami began to explain her idea, the teachers who were initially just going through the flow gradually began to turn serious and began to nod in agreement at times.
Even Jiraiya, the most resistant to this sudden change, also had a look of surprise and appreciation when Izanami finished speaking her idea.
"So any questions?" Izanami finally asked after she finished her 10-minute-long explanation.
Everyone shook their heads and said they agreed to this idea completely. In fact, they were more excited to implement this idea than Izanami herself.
Seeing everyone's excitement, Izanami also smiled and spoke the words that would doom the poor kids for a lifetime, " Since everyone is on board, let's not waste time and get ready for action."
"Yes, Izanami sama, " all the teachers stood straight and said in unison.
'Hehe, I hope these kids won't be too traumatized after this, ' Izanami thought as she wiped a few crocodile tears.
…..
While the teachers were planning their secret test, the kids who had no idea of what they were in for began to form into their small groups and talked animatedly.
Amongst these small groups, the most inconspicuous one is the group of 11 kids who all came from prominent clans. And the leader of this group is none other than Naruto Uzumaki.
Unlike in the original timeline, where he was barely taller and was the last of the class, in this timeline, under Izanami's constant missions, Naruto became very smart and is considered a bright student. In addition to all the high-quality meals that Izanami supplied, Naruto's body was no longer malnourished. He finally managed to grow to the same height as his peers.
In addition to Naruto, there was another person who changed greatly from the original timeline. And this person is none other than Hinata, who is now considered the greatest genius in the Hyuga clan.
The reason for this sudden change is that one day, when Hinami and Izanami came back to the Hyuga clan for a surprise visit, she found something extraordinary. They just happened to pass by Hinata training alone in the training room.
Izanami, with a bit of curiosity, decided to teach this future daughter-in-law some moves. Of course, his had nothing to do with the fact that she caught that fleeting tenderness that Hinami showed to Hinata and decided to take some revenge. Izanami swore this on her father's beard.
And so under Hinami's exasperated gaze, Izanami began to take revenge and… cough wrong teach Hinata the true essence of martial arts. And it was during this time that Izanami found something even she found unbelievable.
With Hinata's amazing comprehension ability, she easily understood the principles and essence of Izanami's teaching. But during practice, her ability to bring the teachings into practice is far less than a normal person's.
At first, both Izanami and Hinami thought Hinata was a girl with more theoretical knowledge and less practical understanding. But when Hinami used her Tenseigan to check for hidden problems in Hinata's body, she was astonished to find that Hinata, in her daily life, uses less than 30% of her chakra. And the rest of her chakra is being forcibly drawn towards her eyes, which also seem to be a black hole that never stops.
Coupled with the fact that Hinata seemed to have an unusually large appetite, both Izanami and Hinami came to a very absurd conclusion.
Hinata has actually opened the Tenseigan during birth and is now suffering from malnutrition. And the reason for this is naturally because her father, Hiashi, was stingy and didn't want to feed her daughter. In fact, Izanami even guessed that Hinata had never eaten a full meal where she was truly satisfied.
After knowing the full truth, Hinami was hit hard. As the older sister who took care of Hinata and the other siblings, she had never known about such a thing. She wished she could have awakened her Tenseigan sooner and been able to uncover the truth so her little sister wouldn't have had to endure such humiliation and hunger for years.
And Izanami, seeing Hinami so upset, was so enraged that she beat up the whole Hyuga clan elders for three whole days. Although she knew that they couldn't have known about Hinata's condition with their Byakugan, Izanami didn't care. All she cared about was that these guys made Hinami sad and are wasting talent with their stupid ideologies.
So, Izanami punished and branded every one of the Hyuga clan members with a new caged bird seal that would make them feel the same hunger Hinata had been feeling for the last few years.
And just like that, many Hyuga clan elders were so touched by Hinata's story that they decided to fund Hinata's meals by themselves. And so from that day, Hinata was no longer hungry, and this allowed her to show her true talent.
In no time, she defeated Neji and took the throne as the most monstrous genius of the Hyuga clan.
