Hokage's Strongest Teacher

Chapter 70

Controlling the slate floating in the air, Iruka took Sasuke and jumped down.

“You idiot, always troublesome, you can’t…”

Sasuke was about to complain, but he suddenly found that Naruto was looking straight at the scene in front of him, apparently turning a deaf ear to what he said. Sasuke couldn’t help but feel a little unhappy, and subconsciously followed his gaze.

At the next moment, he instantly understood why Naruto was reacting like this——

I saw on an unknown hillside not far away, the original yellow land had been dyed red with blood at this time, and dozens of ninja corpses from two different Ninja villages were lying on the ground. Some were killed alone, some died together, and some were caught after killing others and then killed by others; the corpses seemed to be a little withered on the surface after being left for a long time, but all the expressions were the same. appearance.

They all had extremely unwilling eyes open, no ninja died with their eyes closed, and their bodies were full of shurikens and kunai, and there were traces of ninjutsu around them, as if they were telling them. How cruel this local ninja war is.

“Ms. Iruka, this…this is?!”

With a trembling sound, Naruto resisted the fear of seeing a corpse for the first time, and asked Iruka without looking back.

His reaction is normal. After all, he is just a student of the Ninja School who has never experienced a real battle and has never seen a corpse. Compared with him, Sasuke on the side is much calmer. After all, he has experienced an extermination tragedy. As far as he is concerned, the picture of his parents hanging over his corpse in front of him, even if he has not passed through the real battlefield, there will be no picture that he can’t bear.

Perceiving the completely different reactions between the two and knowing why Sasuke’s psychological endurance is so strong, Iruka couldn’t help but sighed, shook her head, and shook off the emotions that shouldn’t be felt at this time, then the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, quite meaningful. road:

“The ninjas are fighting for the things they protect. Well, this is the ninja world now. Remember this situation. Anyway, if you can’t be truly strong, you will follow the same path sooner or later.”

Upon hearing this, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and asked in unison:

“Ms. Iruka, what is truly powerful?”

“There are three decisive factors in whether a person is strong or not. If they are ranked in order, they are [will], [power] and [idea]. If any of the three elements cannot be reached, it cannot be regarded as truly strong.”

“Idea…will and…”

“strength……”

Naruto looked confused. For him now, it is still difficult to understand Iruka’s words. After all, he is not smart at all. No, it should be said that it has nothing to do with smartness, but Sasuke on the side is just the same. Looks thoughtful.

Observing the reaction of the two carefully, Iruka shook her head secretly.

‘It’s still too early, well~ I didn’t expect them to understand it thoroughly. Now I just need to plant the seeds and wait for them to grow up and bear their own fruits. ’

In his view, as a ninja teacher, or the leader of the path of power, what is really important is not to teach them knowledge or power, but to guide and open their wisdom, so that they can have their own independent thinking, not What others say they take for granted.

After all, knowledge is not the same as wisdom. Knowledge is finite. Even knowledge that is erudite will be overshadowed by infinity. Wisdom is creative. It is not trapped by finiteness. Facing the infinity, it appears vigorous.

Moreover, facing two extremely outstanding students, Iruka’s original idea of ​​having no desires for the world has been shaken. Now he faintly feels that the answer to a certain question that he has been looking for in the previous life may be through They may find an unpredictable future.

Because of this, he will do his best to train the two of them. Otherwise, just by giving them the practice ring and strengthening their foundation, he has already fulfilled his duty as a teacher. There is no need to use his own strength. To bet, bet on their unknown future.

And now, it is through deliberately letting them see the epitome of the current situation of the ninja world in front of them, guiding them to emerge their own ideas, and allowing them to completely consolidate the cornerstone of a strong.

After all, they already have the spirit realm, that is, they have [power], and it is precisely because [will] is strong that they will make themselves look at it, then the only thing they lack now-

“Will is a prerequisite, people without will are not worthy of power; and power without norms is violence, but a killing machine; therefore, the core part of true power is a good idea.”

That’s right, Sasuke and Naruto already have the strength and will, and now only the last and most critical part is left, and their future success depends on their ideas.

“Ms. Iruka, what is a philosophy?”

Iruka thought for a while, then suddenly chuckled, and answered the question:

“Before answering your question, I will ask you a question first.”

After a pause, Iruka continued with the two doubtful eyes: “What is your ideal?”

“Become Hokage, get the approval of everyone in the village, and then surpass all generations of Hokage!”

“Kill that man!”

Hearing Iruka’s question, Naruto and Sasuke said without hesitation, their voices full of unwavering will, but facing their imposing answers, Iruka shook his head, saying unclearly:

“Naruto’s ideal is to be recognized by everyone in the village. Is Sasuke’s ideal to be revenge?”

Naruto and Sasuke nodded at the same time. The next moment, they heard Iruka’s voice as if talking to herself:

“So it’s all self-satisfaction~”

Upon hearing this, Sasuke’s face suddenly stiffened, but Naruto asked directly:

“Ms. Iruka, is there anything wrong?”

Iruka shook his head, “Well, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, it is just an ideal. The idea that is confined to a certain person or a certain family or a certain organization can only reach this level in the end. The amount of equipment used to realize the ideal is enough, but it is far from being truly powerful.”

“Um, Mr. Iruka, I don’t understand what you are saying, can I try to make it as simple as possible?”

Hearing that, Iruka’s eyes twitched suddenly——

It is said that after the development of the spiritual domain, the thinking should become agile. Why is Naruto still so stupid?

He sighed helplessly, thought for a moment, and felt that those cryptic and incomprehensible things are a bit embarrassing for Naruto, who is now indifferent to the cleverness, and, as said before, just imparting knowledge is far better than guiding. They think, summarize, and draw their own conclusions.

“Well, what I want to say is that if you want to be truly strong, you must have a corresponding philosophy, and the philosophy is to break free from all restrictions on individuals, families, organizations, etc., and look at yourself from the most objective perspective. All the phenomena you see, and then draw your own conclusions, and finally the thinking rules that you have produced because of this conclusion. For example…”

Having said this, Iruka suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth. While Naruto was still confused, Sasuke pointed to the reddish hillside with his thoughtful gaze:

“What can you think of when you see this epitome of the current state of the ninja world? Why do you think so? What conclusion do you draw in the end? And how would you be inspired by this conclusion?”
