The strongest teacher of Naruto

Chapter 171 The Scar That Will Never Heal

"Intentional, it must be intentional."

Although there was a whisper behind Iruka, but the volume was just enough for him to hear, he couldn't help coughing twice, so as to cover up the embarrassment caused by the accident caused by the sudden acceleration just now, and calm down the inexplicable agitation After he was heartbroken, he took the initiative to talk to Quanmei:
"Hey, Izumi..."

However, as soon as he spoke, Quanmei interrupted his speech very simply:

"compensate!"

The simple and easy-to-understand vocabulary made Iruka's face stiffen immediately. Maintaining the chakra that made the slate continue to accelerate, Iruka turned his head mechanically, and then he saw Iruka who still had a little blush on her face straight up. looking at myself:

"It must be compensated, and this time you will definitely not be perfunctory like last time, Mr. Iruka, please make up your mind."

Hearing this, recalling the feeling of being paralyzed after going shopping with Quanmei before, Iruka suddenly felt bad, but he is obviously not a person who bows his head to his fate. No matter what, he will try to make the last resistance:

"I really didn't do it on purpose. I thought you could handle this level of acceleration with your reaction speed. I didn't know that you would fall so easily like an ordinary person."

"In front of you." Suddenly something familiar to Iruka appeared in Quanmei's eyes, which made him stunned, and then Quanmei's light voice came into his brain through the tympanic membrane:
"I'll just be an ordinary person, dull, an ordinary person without any vigilance."

The unavoidable gust of wind raged wildly under the rapid flight. Although Iruka offset most of it with his ability, there were still a few breezes that slipped through the barrier and swayed like a pair of gentle little hands. Iruka's slightly long black hair then flew towards Izumi through the gap in the hair, as if passing something indescribable.

The black long hair that was put down in the non-combat state swayed back and forth on Quanmei's impeccably perfect little face like a misty veil, rippling with an inexplicable and touching breath.

And the one whose heart was touched, in this lonely sky, who else could it be besides Iruka?
Iruka knew what that feeling was, because in his last life, he had felt that feeling once on a girl.

The concretization of soul touches, the trembling from the heart, is also the so-called throbbing.

Humans' instinctive yearning for beautiful things is a very pure emotion, but for Iruka, the end of this emotion is the cruelest and coldest——

betray!

In Quanmei's eyes flickering with anticipation, Iruka, who recalled the past, suddenly turned around and faced the front, and then his tone suddenly became indifferent:

"Hold on, I'm going to speed up, something may have happened to the village, we have to go back as soon as possible."

Hearing Iruka talk about the extremely urgent situation for her as a Konoha ninja, Izumi's face did not show the slightest urgency. For some reason, her face became a little pale, and even a little stiff. Rather than saying that she heard the content of Iruka's words, it is better to say that she felt the tone of those words.

Quan Mei gritted her teeth, her body trembled slightly, her face seemed to be holding back something, and her tone was obviously trembling:
"I know"

The atmosphere became dull for a while, and I don't know whether Quanmei knew the situation in Iruka's words, or she thought she understood the meaning of Iruka's inexplicable indifferent tone.

The answer became completely blurred amidst the violent whistling sound of the slate flying at high speed.

After flying for more than half an hour, and only 5 minutes away from the village, neither of them said a word. This extremely dull atmosphere finally made Iruka feel a strange feeling.

"I thought that after so many years, I didn't care anymore. I didn't expect to think of that guy again under this accidental touch. Sure enough, even if the touch becomes cold in the end, I can't forget it..."

Iruka shook his head, but because Izumi inadvertently said something similar to Mengyin, his originally calm heart was shaken so violently. He thought that the bloody wound deep in his heart had healed, but now However, Iruka could clearly realize that the scar called betrayal was just a temporary scar.

As long as life continues, the memories that he thought he had forgotten will resurface due to the touch caused by accidental trifles, and the scars on the wound that can never heal will be uncovered severely, and he will feel the heartbreaking pain again. Pain in the lungs.

It is not Iruka's style to immerse himself in the past. After selectively sealing his memory, his gloomy face returned to his usual relaxed and comfortable after taking a deep breath, as if no matter what happens in this world, it will be with him. Irrelevant.

Iruka turned his head and looked at Quanmei, but the next moment he was suddenly stunned.

Quan Mei lowered her head, her long and narrow bangs drooped down, covering most of her face, and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly. All she could see were two shallow lines on both sides of her cheeks, as if reflecting There are traces of her mood at this time.

When Iruka noticed Quanmei's tightly clenched fists and a small piece of water at her feet, Iruka suddenly understood something, and then he suddenly smiled wryly.

"The tone just now, it's the first time she's seen me like that. Although it's not aimed at her, it's still a bit too much..."

The previous indifference was just a mental reflection of recalling a certain memory fragment that he wanted to forget, and it had nothing to do with Quanmei, but even so, the reason why Quanmei was sobbing at this moment was undoubtedly him.

Then, what to do is simple.

Iruka walked up to Izumi, stretched out her hand, put it on Izumi's soft hair, and rubbed it gently while feeling the warm touch from the palm.

"Sorry, Quanmei, I suddenly remembered some unhappy things just now, so the way I speak is a bit weird, don't take it to heart~"

I don't know whether it was a reaction to Iruka's rather intimate gesture, or was influenced by Iruka's rather gentle tone, Quanmei stopped sobbing, and then raised her hand to rub it under the cover of her bangs. corner of eye.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Iruka found that Izumi seemed to be relieved suddenly, and he could even see the looming expression of relief on her face through the gap between her hands.

Seemingly feeling ashamed of her appearance at this time, Quanmei suddenly turned around and turned her back to Iruka.

Seeing this, Iruka couldn't help but smiled gently. Although he realized that he seemed to care about Izumi's feelings instinctively, he didn't reject this instinct.

"By the way, I really didn't expect you to cry. I've seen a lot~"

"I want you to take care of it!"

Izumi adjusted her mood a little and snorted softly, but Iruka could still hear the trill of her words. When she was thinking about how to apologize for her unintentional mistake just now, Iruka suddenly heard the implication of Iruka. With a voice of emotion that Iruka could not read:

"Compensation! This time, you won't make excuses or change the subject, will you? A teacher who likes to see girls cry."

Hearing this, Iruka smiled wryly, but still nodded:
"Okay, okay, just make up for it, and treat it as an apology."

Hearing these helpless words, the corner of Izumi's mouth, whose back was turned to Iruka, raised slightly, and a touching smile appeared on her face.
