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

Sakura Haruno frowned as she looked at the distraught Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun..."

"It's because of what Naruto did..."

"However, it's truly unbelievable. I never imagined that Mizuki-sensei would be a bad guy, and that he would actually die at Naruto's hands..."

"Sasuke-kun, wait for me!"

She was shocked for a moment, but then focused her attention on Sasuke and ran after him.

Ino and Hinata walked into the ninja academy together behind them.

Since falling out with Sakura, Ino and Hinata have become much closer.

But at this moment, her face was also a little pale.

"Hinata, Naruto really killed Mizuki... I mean Mizuki? I was absolutely stunned when I heard this news, is it true?"

Hinata shook her head and whispered, "I... I don't know either, I guess so..."

Ino exclaimed in shock, "Even if Mizuki deserved to die for wanting to kill Iruka-sensei, who could have imagined that he would die at Naruto's hands..."

"Has Naruto become so powerful that he can kill a Chunin now?!"

Hinata was clearly very nervous, and even more so, she was filled with lingering fear.

"I... I'm just so relieved that Naruto-kun is safe and sound..."

"Of course... there's also Iruka-sensei..."

Hinata's eyes welled up with tears, and she clasped her hands tightly together, praying, offering blessings, and thanking the gods.

Ino's heart skipped a beat.

Everyone else was simply shocked by the great thing Naruto had done.

Only Hinata was concerned about whether Naruto was alright...

Looking at Hinata's delicate and worried expression, even Ino couldn't help but be moved.

She sighed.

"Although Naruto is lonely and in pain, if he knew that at least you treat him like this, I think he would be incredibly satisfied and happy..."

Hinata blushed, but still shook her head.

"No, it's not just me..."

"At least, there's still Teacher Iruka..."

"Naruto was willing to risk his life to save Iruka-sensei, which shows that he already considers Iruka-sensei as family..."

Ino nodded, but couldn't help teasingly, "Iruka-sensei is number one in his heart, so what about Hinata?"

Hinata said, "I'm so happy for Naruto, really..."

"Because what he needs most is actually Teacher Iruka..."

"Family, friendship, love... family will always be the most important..."

“Iruka-sensei perfectly fills the void of family affection that Naruto lacked most, so I…”

"I'm very grateful to Teacher Iruka."

Ino couldn't help but sigh.

"Here you go again, saying such understanding, considerate, and mature things..."

"Every time you say that, besides making me feel more sorry for poor Naruto, I also feel a bit sorry for you..."

"Why, why?"

Ino said, "Because people who have such mature ideas often live more tiring lives than others..."

Hinata tilted her head slightly: "Really?"

"However, I really enjoy my life right now..."

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

"Sigh, but now I'm actually a little envious of Naruto..."

"With you caring for him so much, I wonder if one day someone will treat me the same way..."

Hinata quickly replied, "Ino, you're so kind, of course I'll have one..."

Ino laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, that's true!"

The two chatted and laughed as they walked toward the classroom.

……

At this moment, Naruto was training while simultaneously multitasking, pondering what had happened earlier.

"Um--"

"It seems like I was being bombarded with lightning while rescuing Iruka-sensei..."

"But my memory is all blurry. I only remember that it used to hurt terribly, but later it seemed like I became numb..."

Nine-Lama thought to himself, "You're numb, but I'm not!"

"but……"

Naruto couldn't help but feel a lingering fear: "I'm really amazing. I managed to withstand such a painful Lightning Release baptism. I was just too worried about Iruka-sensei and forgot about everything else..."

"Hehe, maybe I'll be immune to lightning jutsu from now on!"

"The system's punishment is nothing to worry about!"

[The host's endurance to the baptism of lightning has been greatly enhanced. Future punishments will involve increasing the amount of electricity required. Please do not take any chances!]

"what--"

Naruto was stunned and speechless.

“Isn’t that too cruel?!”

As expected, this system isn't so easy to deal with...

But from his hints, I realized that my endurance with Lightning Release had indeed improved considerably.

Wouldn't it be much easier to deal with enemies who use Lightning Release in the future?

Deep down, Naruto knew that the system was doing it for his own good.

From stopping himself from stealing from the Third Hokage's house, to stopping himself from rescuing Iruka-sensei, and stopping himself from going to find Mizuki, it was all for his own safety.

However, some choices are not about reason.

These are things the system will probably never understand.

Naruto temporarily put aside his random thoughts and devoted himself wholeheartedly to training and studying.

He essentially lost a day.

We must find a way to make up for it all.

On this day, Naruto ignored the gossip of others and focused solely on improving himself.

……

After school, the second weekend arrived.

When Naruto thought about tutoring, he naturally thought of Hinata.

He walked over confidently, waved to Hinata, and smiled brightly.

"Yo, Hinata!"

"It's the weekend tomorrow, can you still tutor me?"

Please...

Naruto clasped his hands together and pleaded.

Hinata's face turned bright red, and she nervously lowered her head.

"Ah."

Her faint, mosquito-like reply made Naruto involuntarily lean closer to listen.

"what?"

Hinata blushed instantly, quickly avoiding Naruto's face, and nodded repeatedly.

"I...I can..."

Naruto heard her answer clearly and was overjoyed.

"That's great! Thank you, Hinata!"

"Then, see you tomorrow morning!"

"Okay... okay, Naruto-kun..."

But Naruto had already waved goodbye and happily skipped away.

I didn't hear her last words.

Ino couldn't help but come over and tease her.

"Hey, Hinata, you get to go on a date with Naruto again tomorrow..."

"No...it wasn't a date, it was just...tutoring..."

Ino pinched her slightly chubby cheeks.

"She's so easily embarrassed, it's so cute..."

Hinata quickly said, "No, don't tease me, Ino..."

Ino burst into laughter.

……

That night, after Naruto finished his arduous training, he fell asleep again.

However, this time, he seemed somewhat distracted during his battle with Sasuke.

After his battle with Mizuki, Naruto unleashed his killing intent and successfully killed his enemy, but a shadow was inexplicably left in his heart.

He is still too young.

The question of whether or not to kill was too heavy a burden for him...

However, Sasuke on the other side showed no mercy, his moves were ruthless, and as a result, Naruto's chances of winning dropped significantly.

"What's wrong, you bottom-of-the-barrel guy? Can't you kill me?"

"Then you will be the one who dies!"

Even in his dreams, Sasuke remained aloof and arrogant.

Naruto hesitated.

Sasuke suddenly snapped, "What are you hesitating about, you loser!"

"You may not care about your own life, but what about the lives of other people?!"

"Those you care about most, those you want to protect..."

"What about their lives?!"

"To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to them!"

"Do you want to see Iruka's corpse, or that bastard Mizuki's corpse?!"

Naruto's heart skipped a beat!

In his mind, the image of Iruka dying silently and bloodily right before his eyes filled Naruto with immense grief!
