Hokage's Strongest Teacher

Chapter 10 Third Hokage

“Iruka, what happened to you, can you tell me?”

Iruka looked at the old man wearing a white cloak in front of him with a complicated expression. The name “Itachi” Anbu took all of his Anbu and left. The rather messy street now only has Third Hokage and Iruka facing the Third Generation. Questioning, if Iruka says that there is no psychological pressure, it must be false. The opponent is the strongest ninja recognized by the entire Konoha Village. Not to mention that he has lost more than half of Chakra due to a brief confrontation with Itachi, even if he is in good condition. There may be a slight chance of winning.

Although he can escape, what happens after he escapes? Defection? Don’t be kidding, who wants to be a betrayer if you don’t have to be a last resort?

Fortunately, Iruka can feel that although Third Generation is questioning, it is not malicious, and judging by his tone, it seems to have a good relationship with the predecessor.

In that case–

“Master Third Generation, can I not say it?”

Third Generation’s dim old eyes suddenly narrowed.

“Oh why?”

“Everyone has a secret. Even Master Third Generation, you definitely have something you don’t want others to know, don’t you?” Iruka shrugged and said naturally.

“That’s right.” With his hands on his back, Third Hokage agreed with Iruka’s statement. However, the next moment, he suddenly said, “But it also depends on what the secret is. From Hokage’s standpoint, I can’t tolerate it…”

Before Third Generation’s words were finished, Iruka categorically said: “I promise with my personality that I will not say that it is because of other reasons. I will never do anything against Konoha. After all…”

As he said, Iruka slowly raised his head and looked directly into Third Generation’s eyes, with a serious look on his face: “This is a rare paradise for the entire Ninja World, and it is also my only home. In any case, I will not hurt this. place.”

Iruka is telling the truth. If the cognition in his mind is correct, Konoha can indeed be said to be a happy land. Even if there is a dark side that is hard to detect, at least it will be hidden in the dark, unlike other things. Villages such as Mist Shinobi, who has a bloody fog, put the dark side directly in the light.

He is really tired of fighting and does not want to be involved in it anymore. He just wants to be a ninja teacher quietly, so he will work hard towards the position of [Guide], no matter how powerful he is, he will not be like it anymore. Ascended to the top of the world as in the previous life, because he knew that at the end of the road, there was only endless emptiness.

Noble identity? Absolute power? What was exchanged was only hypocritical flattery and fearful gaze. There was nothing else. Even if there was no failure in the whole life, it would not make any sense. Because he had experienced it, he didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes. Therefore, in this life , Although he will continue to practice, but his strength will no longer be used on the path he has walked in his previous life.

The reason for not telling Third Generation is even simpler. Do you want him to say “I am not Iruka, but a stranger who accidentally broke in from another world”? If you say that, let’s not say whether Third Generation believes in the idea of ​​time shuttle, as long as he is not Iruka himself, his fate is absolutely miserable.

“Really? That’s it…”

Eyes are the window to the soul. Iruka did not hesitate to choose to meet with Third Generation is the most convincing sincerity. The so-called ginger is still hot. If Iruka has a little hesitation, Third Generation will never believe Iruka’s words. After so long, let alone being a Hokage for so many years, if he couldn’t even tell the lie of a junior, he would have lived on a dog for so long.

Third Generation pondered for a while, and saw that Iruka didn’t show any strangeness when facing him, and finally smiled openly: “You have grown up too, you are no longer the pistachio in the class back then, yes. When you grow up, you should have your own secrets. In that case, I don’t need to ask.”

Hearing that, Iruka was relieved immediately. It seems that Hokage’s level is finally over. That’s good. As long as Hokage’s approval, he can stay in the village without suppressing his character. After all, He completely played the role of his predecessor, which was completely opposite to his own. It would be better to leave the village directly.

“Sorry, Master Hokage, I made you bother.”

“Haha… I am the one who should apologize. I have been watching you grow up, but I have to think about the problem from Hokage’s standpoint. I hope you don’t mind my old man’s suspiciousness.”

Iruka waved his hand quickly, flattered and said: “No, no, how could I have that kind of thought? As Hokage, Lord Third Generation is naturally responsible for the whole village, and there can be no negligence.”

“Oh… you understand, I will explain to you at the top level. After all, I know your life experience best. With my guarantee, you won’t be embarrassed if you want to come to the top level. Of course, you too. Don’t think too much. The high-level officials will send Anbu to the village. Although they have acted too aggressively, they are also for the good of the village. I hope you don’t resent them for this.”

“Yes, I will understand.”

Third Generation nodded, this matter is over, and now this time is not the time to chat, it is almost time to say goodbye, but at this moment, Third Generation seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly said to Iruka:

“By the way, Iruka, what do you think of Naruto?”

Hearing that, Iruka looked at Third Generation in confusion, a little wondering why he asked Hokage to ask an orphan, is there anything special about Naruto?

After thinking about it, Iruka said directly:

“Is Uzumaki Naruto? I think he is a child with great potential. Although he is not qualified, he has a rare will that many people don’t have. If he focuses on cultivation, his future achievements are limitless.”

Third Generation’s answer to Iruka was very unexpected. I didn’t expect Iruka would give Naruto such a high evaluation. His lips moved a bit and he could see that he had a lot of things to ask, but at the end he hesitated and just said lightly. sentence:

“It’s fine if you can think about it this way. I thought you would have a grudge against Naruto because of that. Now it seems that I am superfluous. That’s fine. Just do it as you want.”

What the hell? that matter? What’s that?

Iruka was puzzled, but didn’t ask. “That incident” seemed to have a great influence on the predecessor. If he asked directly, it would be like “I am not Iruka”.

“Yes, Lord Third Generation.”

Third Generation asked about the Ninja teacher again, Iruka casually dealt with a few words, seeming to see that Iruka is not in good condition, Third Generation confessed to Iruka a few polite words to pay attention to the body and left.

“Ha…I’m so tired.”

Iruka yawned long and looked exhausted. The brief confrontation just now caused Chakra to lose more than half of it. Naturally, it is impossible to have no effect on the body. Now he feels that it is a bit hard to raise his eyelids.

But since I passed the customs, the life of those little ghosts is not easy~

Thinking of this, Iruka’s mouth twitched slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

The bright moonlight illuminates the way home, facing the moonlight, Iruka’s shadow is stretched very long, just like his thoughts, returning to the distant star together.
