The strongest teacher of Naruto

Chapter 10 The Third Hokage

"Iruka, what happened to you, can you tell me?"

Iruka looked at the old man in the white cloak in front of him with a complicated expression. The "Itachi" Anbu took all his Anbu and left, and the rather messy street was only the third Hokage and Iruka. Regarding the questioning of the third generation, Iruka would be lying if he said that he has no psychological pressure at all. The other party is the strongest ninja recognized by the entire Konoha Village. Not to mention that he has lost more than half of his chakra due to a short confrontation with Itachi. Even if it is in good condition, it is impossible to have a slight chance of winning.

Although he can escape, what happens after he escapes?Defect?Don't be kidding, who wants to be a traitor unless it is a last resort?
Fortunately, Iruka can feel that although the third generation is questioning, there is no malice, and judging from his tone, it seems that he has a very good relationship with his predecessor.

That being the case—

"Three generations of adults, can I not say it?"

Three generations of hazy old eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Oh why?"

"Everyone has secrets. Even the third generation of adults must have something you don't want others to know, right?" Iruka shrugged and said quite naturally.

"That's right." The third Hokage agreed with Iruka's statement with his hands behind his back, but suddenly changed the subject at the next moment: "But it also depends on what the secret is. From the standpoint of Hokage, I can't tolerate it... ..."

Before the three generations finished speaking, Iruka said firmly: "I guarantee with my personality, I won't say it's because of other reasons, and it will never be unfavorable to Konoha, after all..."

As he spoke, Iruka slowly raised his head, looked straight into the eyes of the third generation, his face was full of seriousness: "This is a rare paradise in the entire ninja world, and it is also my only home. No matter what, I will not harm you. this place."

What Iruka said is the truth. If the cognition in his mind is correct, Konoha can indeed be said to be a paradise. Even if there is a dark side that is difficult to detect, at least it will be hidden in the dark, not Like other villages such as Kirigakure with the village of blood mist, the dark side is directly placed in the light.

He is really tired of fighting and doesn't want to get involved 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 never be like a ninja teacher again. As in the previous life, he climbed to the top of the world, because he knew that at the end of that road, there was only endless emptiness.

Noble status?Absolute power?What he got in exchange was nothing but hypocritical flattery and fearful eyes, nothing else, even if there was no failure in the whole life, it would not have any meaning. , although he will continue to practice, but his strength will no longer be used on the path he walked in the previous life.

As for the reason why he refused to tell the third generation, it is even simpler. Should he say "I am not Iruka, but a stranger who accidentally broke in from another world"?If you say that, let’s not talk about the three generations’ belief in time travel, as long as it is confirmed that he is not Iruka himself, his end will definitely be miserable.

"Really? Is that so..."

Eyes are the window to the soul. Iruka chose to look at the third generation without hesitation, which is the most convincing sincerity. The so-called ginger is still old and spicy. If Iruka hesitates a little bit, the third generation will never believe Iruka For Ka, he has lived for such a long time, let alone being Hokage for so many years, if he can't even tell the lies of a junior, he will have lived to a dog for such a long time.

The third generation pondered for a while, and saw that Iruka didn't show any strangeness when facing him, and finally laughed heartily: "You have grown up too, you are no longer the pistachio in the class back then, and you are right." , I should have my own secrets when I grow up, if that's the case, then I won't ask about it."

Hearing this, Iruka breathed a sigh of relief secretly. It seems that Hokage's level has finally passed, so that's good. As long as he has Hokage's approval, he can stay in the village safely without suppressing his character. After all, if he wanted to completely play the role of his predecessor, which was completely opposite to his own personality, it would be better to leave the village directly.

"Sorry, Hokage-sama, for troubling you."

"Hehe... I should be the one to apologize. I have watched you grow up all the time, but I have to think from the standpoint of Hokage. I hope you don't mind my old man's suspicion."

Iruka quickly waved his hand, flattered and said: "No, no, how could I have that kind of thought? As Hokage, Sandai-sama is naturally responsible for the entire village, and there must be no negligence."

"Oh...you just need to understand. I'll explain it to you at the top. After all, I know your life experience best. With an old man like me as a guarantee, I won't make it difficult for you if you want to come to the top. Of course, you also Don't think too much, the higher-ups sent Anbu for the sake of the village, although they acted a little too aggressively, but they also did it for the good of the village, I hope you don't resent them because of this."

"Yes, I will understand."

The third generation nodded, this matter is over, and this time is not the time to chat, it is almost time to say goodbye, but at this moment, the third generation seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly said to Iruka:

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

Hearing this, Iruka looked at Sandai in confusion, wondering why he was a hokage asking an orphan. Could it be that Naruto had any special background?

After thinking about it, Iruka said directly:

"Naruto Uzumaki? I think he is a child with great potential. Although his aptitude is not high, he has a rare will that many people don't have. If he focuses on training, his future achievements will be limitless."

The third generation was very surprised by Iruka's answer. He didn't expect Iruka to give Naruto such a high evaluation. His lips twitched, and it was obvious that he had a lot of things he wanted to ask, but he hesitated at last, just Said lightly:

"It's good that you can think that way. I thought you would have a grudge against Naruto because of that incident. Now it seems that I am redundant. That's good. You can do it according to your ideas."

What the hell?that matter?What is that?

Although Iruka was puzzled, he didn't ask. "That incident" seemed to have a great influence on his predecessor. If he asked directly, it would be like saying "I'm not Iruka".

"Yes, three generations of adults."

Sandai asked some more about the ninja teacher, Iruka responded with a few words casually, and seemed to see that Iruka was not in good condition, Sandai confessed to Iruka a few polite words to pay attention to his body and left .

"Ha... so tired."

Iruka yawned long, his face full of exhaustion. The short confrontation just now caused more than half of his chakra to be lost, which naturally had no effect on his body. Now he felt that it was a bit strenuous to lift his eyelids.

But now that I've passed the level, those little ghosts will have a hard time~
Thinking of this, the corners of Iruka's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

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