Time flew.
The 60th year of Konoha came in the blink of an eye, which was also the year when Naruto and Sasuke graduated.
In the final graduation exam, everyone was nervous.
Under Iruka's order, all students enter the classroom in order to conduct the three-body examination.
Naruto waited in the corridor with the other students.
As long as he passed the test, he would become Ninja, and he could go out of the village to carry out missions.
He is 12 years old, but he has never stepped out of Konoha. He yearns for the outside world, wondering if it is as full of unknowns as what he had learned in the modern world.
He deeply felt the importance of freedom.
As Kyubi's Jinchuriki, he had been closely monitored for 12 years, and he had also been training for 12 years.
His gaze swept across every student, and his face was filled with excitement and nervousness.
"Ninja," Naruto muttered in his heart.
He knew that ninjas were not his goal.
From the knowledge of the modern world, he had learned all kinds of professions in modern society.
White-collar workers, athletes, explorers, and archaeologists.
The existence of social order has greatly reduced the occurrence of crimes.
Naruto yearned for a peaceful world in the modern world.
The current Shinobi world was full of danger. In the Ninja Village, the big countries were on guard against each other.
No one knew when the war would start.
No one could guarantee that their family would not lose their lives because of the real situation.
In the chaotic world of Ninja, life was so fragile.
"I want to possess life and power that transcends everything." A seed was planted in Naruto's heart.
"Uzumaki Naruto." At this time, Iruka's voice interrupted Naruto's thoughts.
He immediately stepped into the classroom, where a row of Konoha forehead guards was placed neatly on the table. The chief examiner was Umino Iruka and Mizuki.
"Bunshinjutsu." Naruto quickly made a seal.
The perfect Clone appeared next to Naruto.
Inside his body, Minato revealed a smile. "Today, Naruto is going to become Ninja."
Beside him, Kyubi said disdainfully, "If I interfere with Chakra's operation, that will be another matter."
"That might not be the case. Naruto's control over Chakra is not bad either." However, Minato shook his head, "Even if you interfere, he can still pass."
"Tch ---"
...
"Pass."
"Congratulations on becoming a ninja, Naruto." With the announcement of the result, Iruka smiled, picked up the forehead, and gently handed it to Naruto: "You are my proudest student."
"Thank you." Looking at Iruka, Naruto thanked him sincerely.
He recalled that day two years ago.
....
Naruto remembered that it was snowing.
After separating from Sasuke and Rock Lee, he walked alone on the street.
H kept remembering all kinds of Kidō's songs.
At this moment, he saw a familiar figure appear at the end of the street.
It was Iruka.
From the other students, Iruka's parents also died on Kyubi's night.
From a certain point of view, Naruto was Iruka's enemy.
This was also why Iruka's eyes were so complicated when they first met.
But Iruka did his duty as a teacher perfectly in the next few years. He taught knowledge seriously, cared about the growth of each student, and he never gave Naruto a hard time
This was something that Naruto did not expect.
In his memory, all the villagers who had "hatred" for him would curse, and no matter how cold their faces were, Iruka did not.
Without hesitation, Naruto walked up and greeted Iruka.
Seeing Naruto, Iruka was quite surprised and also said his purpose.
The father of a student in the class died in a mission. The student collapsed and locked himself at home all day without eating or drinking.
As his teacher, Iruka decided to go to the student's home to understand the situation.
Naruto also knew that student, but he was very ordinary in the class, and even considered a poor student.
As far as he knew, the teacher in charge of Ninja's school only needed to teach Ninja knowledge. No matter how the students were taught, the salary would not be less every month.
The head teachers of many classes are also in a state of free range. They teach students everything they know and occasionally care about them.
But after school, you are you, I am me, and your life has nothing to do with me.
I won't interfere too much, and I hope that you won't disturb me.
Of course, the teachers are still very concerned about the top students and will do their best to satisfy all their requirements.
As for the poor students, let them fend for themselves.
Iruka could be considered a very special teacher.
"Naruto, you have a good relationship with people in the class. Can you come with me?" Iruka invited Naruto with a gentle tone.
Naruto followed Iruka to the poor student's home, watched Iruka gently comfort him, and told the student about his past.
In the past, like the poor student, he had parents and lived a happy life.
But tragedy would always come. On the night of Kyubi, his parents died, leaving him alone in the cold room.
He had been desperate and angry, but he thought that if his parents were alive, he definitely would not want to sink like this.
Life was a tragedy, but life had to continue.
He wanted to live with the hope of his parents.
So he chose to become a teacher, hoping to find the direction with the confused children.
Iruka's words touched Naruto.
I even saw myself at the moment
Therefore, Naruto also went forward to cooperate with Iruka and gave him a set of chicken soup.
The poor student was immediately moved to tears and felt that life had been sublimated by this. Holding Iruka and Naruto, he told his determination.
From then on, there was one more student who studied hard and one less poor student in the class.
After that, Iruka warmly treated Naruto to a meal of ramen, and the two have a happy conversation.
Naruto was moved by Iruka's responsibility.
Iruka was moved by Naruto's optimism and gentleness.
Even though he had been mercilessly hurt, Naruto still chose to warm everyone up.
Perhaps this was the reason why everyone in the class trusted him.
At that time, Iruka waved his hand and invited Naruto to eat three big bowls of ramen.
Then he held his wallet with a pitiful face and watched Naruto leave.
Retrieving his memories, Naruto took the forehead guard and tied it to his arm.
He smiled gently at Teacher Iruka, nodded, and left the classroom.
Watching Naruto leave, the corners of Iruka's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Mizuki frowned and asked: "Mr. Iruka, Naruto is the Kyubi who killed your parents, don't you hate him?"
"Hate? There used to be." Iruka shook his head and said with a smile: "But then I figured it out, Naruto is different, he is called the kyubi, but he didn't hurt anyone, and tried hard to get recognition. He was not defeated by the rumors, he bit all the malice and carried it on his own, leaving the warmth and sunshine to everyone."
"He is my best student. I also believe that he will become Hokage." Iruka said resolutely.
Being in the dark, he has become the light of everyone.
This is my proudest disciple.
Uzumaki Naruto.
