Syllable!
Iruka slapped the table hard and shouted angrily:
"Nonsense!! Who allowed you to be discharged from the hospital?! β
In the ramen restaurant, Uncle Ichiraku didn't seem to be there, only Calamus was busy inside, Naruto and Hinata were sitting on high stools, Naruto had three or four empty bowls stacked in front of the table, obviously he had been here for a while, and most of the ramen in front of Hinata had not been eaten, and a pair of unusual white pupils were looking at Naruto on the side with a worried look, his small hands interlaced back and forth, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Naruto was frightened by the sudden shout, his body was unstable, and he almost fell, and when he stabilized his body, he turned his head to teach the person who was scared of him a lesson, and suddenly saw Iruka with a black face, especially when he saw the anger overflowing from his face, his face couldn't help but stiffen.
"Yi ...... Iruka-sensei, why are you here? β
"What? Can't I be here? β
"No...... It's not ......"
As if sensing that Iruka was really angry this time, Naruto didn't dare to mess around anymore, and he couldn't speak for a while.
Iruka glared at him angrily, seeing that he didn't talk back to himself as usual, he suddenly lost a little angry, Naruto and Sasuke are his most optimistic students, so he will naturally pay more attention to them, especially Naruto, Iruka can see countless possibilities from his eyes that never admit defeat, this is something that the highly qualified Sasuke does not have, and it is also something he did not have at the beginning, Iruka really wants to see how Naruto, who has been growing up in adversity, can finally grow up, This is also his greatest expectation as a teacher.
Yesterday's training Naruto was the most seriously injured, there is no place in the whole body is good, if you don't pay attention to your body, it is very likely to leave sequelae, which is extremely detrimental to future growth, seeing Naruto's appearance and running out, Iruka is not angry.
"Hinata, didn't I go out of your way to ask you to take care of Naruto? That's how you take care of it? Don't you know that it will take at least a week for him to recover from his injuries? β
Hearing this, Hinata's eyes suddenly turned red, she did go to school according to Iruka's instructions and write a fake note directly and put it on Iruka's desk, and then took the lunch box prepared early in the morning to visit Naruto in the hospital, everything went well, Naruto naturally accepted her kindness, and she was happy to be able to close the distance with Naruto, but when she wanted to leave, Naruto suddenly shouted "I almost forgot today's free ramen" or something, despite her dissuasion, she sneaked out of the hospital and came here.
In the face of Iruka's accusation, Hinata only felt aggrieved, but she didn't want Naruto to continue to be scolded, so she could only say aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, Iruka-sensei, I ......"
"It's none of Hinata's business, I pulled her over."
Before Hinata could finish speaking, Naruto said eagerly to Iruka, "Iruka-sensei, I'm sorry, it's all my nonsense, don't blame Hinata anymore." β
Seeing that Hinata on the side was also looking at herself nervously, for fear that she would continue to accuse her, Iruka suddenly lost most of her anger, and said to Naruto quite ridiculously: "Yo, you are quite responsible, I have become a bad person in my feelings, and you have saved the beauty of your hero." β
"Huh? Heroes save beauty? Iruka-sensei, what are you talking about? β
"It's nothing, just forget if you don't understand."
Iruka sat down next to Naruto, although his anger was gone, he couldn't help but reach out and gently tap Naruto's head, and said angrily: "Forget it this time, if I find you messing around with your body again next time, see how I clean you up." β
"Hey, hey......"
Naruto didn't know why, he was obviously unceremoniously taught a lesson, but he still scratched the back of his head that was knocked by Iruka with a happy face.
"What are you laughing at? Have you taken my words as wind in your ears? β
"No, how dare I take Iruka-sensei's words as wind in my ears? Just ......"
"Just what?"
Naruto lowered his head so that he couldn't see the expression on his face, and then whispered, "It's the first time I've been taught like this, and I feel a little ...... Kind of ...... special"
Hearing this, Iruka was stunned, thinking that Naruto had said before that he didn't know who his parents were, Iruka looked at Naruto's gaze and suddenly became a little complicated.
It is true that Naruto's special growth environment gave him an unyielding will, as long as he didn't die halfway, the future was destined to be bright, but this could not heal the trauma he had experienced, no father and mother, no family, he would not have the warmth of the family, this is a fact that no one can change, no matter how great his future achievements are, there will inevitably be countless cold nights in his childhood memories, unless his parents can appear in front of him again, otherwise it will be a scar that he will have to bear for a lifetime.
Thinking of this, Iruka couldn't help but sigh, stretched out his hand and gently covered Naruto's little head, gently rubbed his blonde hair, and said softly:
"I'm sorry for you, Naruto."
Naruto looked at Iruka in a daze, his eyes gradually turning red, and he felt the unfamiliar touch on his head, Naruto bit his lip desperately, desperately trying not to let himself cry.
What Iruka didn't know was that the reason why Naruto kept messing around was not because of a lack of parental discipline, but because the people in the village didn't know why they kept discriminating against him, excluding him, and even not letting their children touch him, so he could only attract the attention of others by messing around, but even so it still had little effect, only Shikamaru and Dingji barely accepted him, and the others were still lukewarm to him, and it was only three days since he came to this world, Iruka, who didn't know a lot of things, had unknowingly become the first person to identify with Naruto, and now, the first to understand him.
The atmosphere became a little dull for a while, and at this moment, Calamus happened to come out of it with two bowls of noodles, and when she saw Iruka, she suddenly turned red for some reason, which once again deepened Iruka's impression of her "shy girl".
"Yi ...... Iruka-sensei, you're here too. β
"Well, I'm just hungry, please bring me a big bowl of tonkotsu miso barbecued pork ramen."
"Good...... Ok ......"
Calamus replied weakly, and then saw that Iruka was about to pay the bill before eating, and hurriedly said, "Iruka-sensei, I haven't thanked you for yesterday's incident, so this time the ramen will be free." β
"Huh? How can it be done, how can there be a reason not to pay for food? And yesterday's events are really nothing, you are so beautiful, I believe that as long as you are a man, you will stand up, I just happened to be at the right time. β
Praising women for their beauty was the most basic social rhetoric in his previous life, and even if Iruka didn't pay much attention to relationships, he had this habit, so it was just a casual remark by him, although Calamus was indeed a beautiful girl, but he really didn't mean anything else.
However, these words made the flush on Calamus's face instantly spread to the root behind his ears, and he forcibly endured the throbbing in his heart, Calamus still insisted:
"That's it...... Even so, there is a need to be grateful. β
After saying that, without waiting for Iruka to excuse herself, Calamus went straight back to the kitchen to prepare ramen, seemingly not intending to give Iruka a chance to refuse, to which Iruka could only smile bitterly and put her wallet away.
Naruto suddenly said with a confused expression, "Strange, Sister Calamus, what's wrong with this?" β
"Huh? What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with calamus? How I can't see it. β
"That's it, Sister Calamus is usually ......"
Boom!!
An earthy yellow object suddenly flew out of the door curtain, and it flew just in Naruto's face impartially, leaving him speechless, and before he could remove the unidentified object, a rather strange voice came from the kitchen:
"Sorry, I accidentally knocked the cleaning ball flying, Naruto, help me get the cleaning ball."
How do I feel that this thing flew out at such a coincidental time, is it my delusion?
Seeing that Naruto's face was full of white bubbles from washing dishes, Iruka finally couldn't hold back his laughter, almost holding back his internal injuries, and was about to help Naruto wipe his face when an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Iruka-sensei, the three generations of Hokage-sama are looking for you, please come with me to the Hokage's office."
