Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

"Iruka, what's your opinion?"

Iruka said, "I... I have no objection... I'm just a little worried about how Naruto will react after he finds out he killed someone, and more importantly..."

"What will other people think of Naruto...?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled slightly: "You still always put Naruto's feelings first, don't you..."

"It seems that choosing you to take care of Naruto was absolutely the right decision..."

"Iruka, Naruto values ​​you the most right now, he's even willing to risk his life for you. This is a unique bond between the two of you..."

"But this is precisely because of the kindness you've shown him on a daily basis..."

Iruka, tears streaming down his face, said, "I... I feel so guilty, and so scared..."

"I see……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, then glanced at the unconscious Naruto, his feelings equally complex.

Good thing...

After Naruto fainted, the system's punishment automatically stopped.

At least……

Nine Lama breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he also witnessed Naruto's madness for Iruka, and that so-called bond moved him slightly, leaving him deeply shocked...

Of course, he would never admit it himself...

Chapter 57 The world is shocked, but only a few truly care! Please vote with monthly tickets!!!

Having lived for a thousand years, the Nine Lamas are naturally very knowledgeable.

He had witnessed countless human joys and sorrows, separations and deaths.

However, after all...

Naruto Uzumaki was just a child.

How could such a strong bond and such intense emotions erupt from such a child?

not to mention……

Like Naruto Uzumaki, Kurama is undergoing a baptism from the system's lightning release.

He felt that pain more deeply than anyone else.

Even under such intense pain, Naruto Uzumaki still braved the lightning strikes to save Iruka and kill Mizuki who had harmed Iruka!

What a terrifying obsession!

Nine Lama asked himself, and he knew he couldn't possibly do that.

The shock this event brought him was even greater than the deaths of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

From then on, Kurama began to truly care about Naruto's every move for the first time.

Although he still pretended to be indifferent, he couldn't help but start paying attention to Naruto.

……

Dark, bloody, cruel, and brutal.

Pain, despair...

Naruto felt as if he were trapped in some endless hellish space.

I don’t know how long it took.

He suddenly woke up with a start and sat up abruptly in bed.

"Iruka-sensei!"

He gasped, his scream shattering the silence.

Suddenly, a pair of arms steadied him.

"Naruto……"

"I'm here, I'm alright..."

When Naruto heard that incredibly familiar voice, he looked up and saw Iruka-sensei's gentle face.

“I-Iruka-sensei…”

Naruto was both surprised and delighted, and two lines of tears welled up in his eyes.

"I'm so glad you're alright!"

Iruka's eyes also welled up with tears, and he hugged Naruto and patted him on the shoulder.

"Naruto, the most important thing is that you're alright..."

Naruto wiped away his tears, still somewhat confused.

"What happened?"

"I... I don't think I can remember..."

Teacher Iruka's heart skipped a beat.

He hesitated whether or not to tell Naruto.

After all, Naruto in that state was almost insane; saying it out loud might scare him...

However, Iruka-sensei still said it.

Because this was something he owed Naruto, and he didn't want to hide the fact that Naruto had saved him.

Naruto was stunned after hearing this.

"I...I saved Iruka-sensei, and..."

"And you killed that Shuimu?"

"I killed someone?!"

Teacher Iruka quickly advised, "You did it to save me, and also to protect yourself."

That being said, although I knew that Mizuki harbored malicious intentions and even wanted to kill Iruka-sensei, and that he deserved to die, the feeling of killing was still unpleasant.

Teacher Iruka sighed, "Mizuki is also my friend. I never imagined he had been hiding such evil and ambition all this time. But no matter what, if we don't kill him, the one who will die will be me, and the one who will die will be you..."

"Naruto, thank you."

"You saved my life."

A warm feeling welled up in Naruto's heart.

He was taken aback at first, then scratched his head, unsure whether to cry or laugh.

"Teacher Iruka, you don't need to do this. If it were me, you would definitely save me too..."

"right?"

Teacher Iruka smiled slightly and nodded heavily.

"I will, Naruto."

"That's good!"

Naruto leaped off the bed and stretched out with a big yawn.

"Aha..."

"How long have I slept?"

Iruka said, "It's been a whole day."

"what?!"

Naruto covered his head with his hands, his eyes wide open.

"Then I've fallen behind in my cultivation and have many lessons to attend!"

Teacher Iruka was taken aback.

Good guy...

Who would have thought that such words would come out of Naruto's mouth?!

But he still smiled gently.

"Don't worry, Naruto, with your efforts, you'll catch up soon..."

Naruto was also taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"That's true, hahaha!"

……

News of Mizuki's death spread quickly.

Soon, the news spread throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Although not everyone knew the details, the general course of events was still described in a very convincing manner.

He simply wanted to betray the village and kill Iruka-sensei, but in the end, he died at Naruto's hands.

For a moment, all the villagers and ninjas were shocked.

It wasn't the betrayal by Shuimu that shocked me.

Instead, they were shocked by Naruto.

He actually dared to kill Shuimu?

He actually managed to kill Mizuki?!

Regardless, Mizuki was a teacher at the Ninja Academy and a Chunin.

As for Naruto, he still has a long time before graduating from the Ninja Academy...

Not to mention, Naruto was still considered the worst student by everyone!

This incident quickly became the biggest bombshell in the entire village, causing a huge uproar.

So much so that when Naruto arrived at the Ninja Academy the day after he woke up, everyone's eyes turned very strange as they silently watched him and whispered among themselves.

However, Naruto was already used to this kind of thing.

He had complex emotions about killing.

But more than anything, I felt relieved that Iruka-sensei was alright.

This is more important than anything else.

He put his hands behind his head and walked nonchalantly toward the classroom.

Sasuke Uchiha, standing behind Naruto, clenched his fists tightly once more as he watched Naruto's retreating figure.

"Naruto……"

"That loser actually killed Mizuki, a true Chunin?!"

"How can it be……"

"Could it be that he has already possessed such terrifying strength?!"

"hateful--"

Sasuke slammed his fist into the tree beside him, creating a loud bang and sending wood chips flying. The girls who had been secretly following him nearby were startled.

"I will never lose to you, you loser!"

Sasuke's clenched fist trembled slightly as he strode into the classroom.

"but……"

"Fortunately, he didn't die at the hands of Shui Mu..."

"Hmm? Why would I be thinking about these things?"

"Hmph, I just don't want to see him die before I completely defeat him!"
