Hokage’s Strongest Teacher

"Sasuke said that the current Ninja world is completely filled with despair. He wants to change the status quo in his own way and turn the world into the world that everyone expects; Mr. Iruka, is what Sasuke said true? If it is..."

Speaking of this, Naruto bit his lip suddenly, and his face gradually showed unwillingness. Upon seeing this, Iruka knew what he wanted to say next, and immediately raised his hand to prevent Naruto from speaking.

"I once told Sasuke that the answers you get from other people's mouths are always just references. You need to find and think about the real answers yourself. I hope you will remember this too."

"Think for yourself...but..."

"Don't tell me that you are not smart enough or that you are not good at thinking. No matter how stupid people are, you can reach conclusions through practice. If you can't learn to think on your own, you will never want to catch up with Sasuke."

Iruka’s face is full of seriousness, "Sasuke has embarked on the right path that he thinks is the right path. As his only opponent, you can only lie here and ask me for help. Naruto, I just want to ask you, what do you think? Is he really qualified to call himself Sasuke's opponent?"

"I......"

Naruto opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, and finally lowered his head guiltily. Hinata looked at Naruto with a worried expression on his side, and then looked at Iruka with a begging look.

Looking at the weak gaze of the soft girl, Iruka suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if she was bullying her, and a sense of guilt emerged inexplicably in her heart.

After shaking his head and throwing away the extra thoughts, Iruka continued to say to Naruto, "Of course, there is no problem with asking others for help. After all, no one is perfect. Everyone has things that cannot be done. But it would be wrong if you are dependent on it. I can help you once and twice, but I can’t help you forever. Sooner or later you learn to face the problem alone and take it on your own. Otherwise, you will always be just a child who is not growing up. Well, I don’t want you to be such a student who can't live without the teacher."

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Iruka."

Iruka shook his head, and then sighed. He raised his head inexplicably and looked out the window. His eyes were a little lost. He was obviously thinking about something. After a while, he slowly spoke.

"Now, Naruto, do you want to see the outside world? Like Sasuke, use your own eyes to observe the real Ninja World."

Maybe the timing is not yet ripe, maybe this is a risk, but Iruka still tells him what he originally planned to say when Naruto recovers from Sasuke's defect and the absolute power gap a month later.

There is no reason, it's just that Iruka wants to try to see what kind of result will happen if he doesn't follow the script written by himself, nothing more.

His expectations of Naruto are even higher than those of Sasuke, because what Sasuke is walking now is exactly the path he has walked in his previous life. If there is no accident, the final result will never deviate too much from his expectations, but Naruto is different.

There are countless possibilities in Naruto, among which there are even hidden possibilities to influence the future of the world. Iruka's greatest expectation for Naruto is whether there is an answer hidden in Naruto's body, whether there is an answer he has been pursuing.

"Eh?"

Naruto and Hinata looked at Iruka dumbfounded at the same time, wondering why he suddenly said such unclear words.

They were not the only ones who were confused. At this time, a man with long white hair who was hiding outside the window was eavesdropping. His heart was also full of question marks. It took a while before his face showed a clear look.

…………………………………

After leaving the hospital, Iruka came to an uninhabited alley. After stopping, he suddenly said without looking back, "Hey, Jiraiya, when are you going to follow me? Anything? Just come out and say, don’t be sneaky, otherwise don’t blame me for treating you as a suspicious person."

"It's really helpless perception..."

A rather dull voice suddenly sounded behind Iruka. The next moment, the empty place suddenly shook, and then a man with long white hair appeared out of thin air.

"Do you really care about Naruto, you can even do things like tracking, are you so afraid of me instilling something strange in Naruto?"

Iruka's mouth twitched, and his eyes looked at Jiraiya with an inexplicable meaning.

Jiraiya was non-committal to Iruka's words. Since the last conversation, his attitude towards Iruka has cooled down, and he no longer has the appearance of having a conversation because of similar interests in the first place.

"Naruto has really grown up through the defect of Uchiha Sasuke, and the situation is developing according to your expectations, so next, you plan to let me take him out of the village to practice, right?"

Jiraiya didn't intend to talk nonsense with Iruka, and went straight to the subject from the beginning.

Hearing that, Iruka, who could clearly feel Jiraiya's disgust, couldn't help shrugging. He didn't care about Jiraiya's eavesdropping or teasing his mind, and said calmly, "Yes, I do have this plan, but before that, There is still some preparatory work to be done."

Jiraiya frowned. "What do you want to do?"

Iruka did not sell it, and then said, "There is a restless guy in Naruto. Although that guy helped Naruto in the previous duel between Naruto and Sasuke, it does not mean that its existence is a boost to Naruto. , And I can feel a certain change in Naruto's body after using its power. Intuitively, this is not a good thing, so this guy who may have an adverse effect on Naruto must be dealt with."

Hearing this, Jiraiya did not breathe a sigh of relief, but frowned further.

"Do you want to kill Nine Tails?"

That's right, in Jiraiya's view, the Nine Tails demon fox that caused great damage to Konoha twelve years ago is not enough to look at compared to Iruka.

Although he has not directly played against Iruka, nor has he intuitively felt the desperate power, he has witnessed Iruka effortlessly push the two powerful men, Itachi and Kisame, to be the shadow of a country. After the desperate situation, Jiraiya knew that Iruka's strength was absolutely strong to the point where he could not even imagine.

Iruka has information about Nine Tails and Jinchūriki, which was given to him before Xuanyue completely withdrew from the Ninja world, so he knew that if Nine Tails were killed directly or taken out, Naruto might be life-threatening. , Even Iruka could not be sure whether Naruto, who is also a Jinchūriki and a capable person, will die after losing the tail beast.

After all, the spiritual realm is not omnipotent. This world has its own laws. If the ending of Jinchūriki's death after losing the tail beast is one of the laws, then Naruto will definitely die. Therefore, if Iruka intends to kill Nine Tails directly or kill it. Withdrawing, it is equivalent to gambling with Naruto's life as a bet.

Whether to do this or not, the answer is obvious to Iruka.

"Don't worry, I won't make fun of Naruto's life, he is also my cutest student anyway."

Hearing this, Jiraiya's face suddenly relaxed. He was really afraid that Iruka would kill Nine Tails directly regardless of the three-seven-one. Even if Iruka said he could guarantee that Naruto would not die after pulling the tail beast, he would never Would agree, because Jinchūriki, who had been forcibly stripped of the tail beast before, died without exception, how could he believe Iruka's guarantee?

Fortunately, Iruka didn't seem to have that idea, so Jiraiya temporarily withdrew his worst plan.

"Then what are you going to do with Nine Tails?"

Iruka's mouth suddenly twitched, revealing a smile full of conspiracy:

"It's very simple, doesn't it let Naruto use its power? Then I will let it completely become Naruto's help."
