Chapter 10: The Three Generations Hokage
"Iruka, what happened to you, can you tell me?"
Iruka looked at the old man in front of him in a white cloak with a complicated expression, the one called "Itachi" left with all the shadows under his command, and the rather messy street was only three generations of Hokage and Iruka at this time, in the face of the questioning of the three generations, Iruka must be fake if he wants to say that there is no psychological pressure at all, the other party is the strongest ninja recognized by the entire Konoha Village, not to mention that he has now lost more than half of the chakra because of a short confrontation with Itachi, even if he is in good condition, he cannot have a slight chance of winning.

He can run away, but what about after he escapes? Defection? No kidding, who wants to be a traitor unless it is absolutely necessary?
Fortunately, Iruka could feel that although the third generation was questioning, there was no malicious intent, and judging by his tone, it seemed that he had a good relationship with his predecessor.
That being the case-
"Three generations of adults, can I not say it?"
The old eyes of the three generations of dim suddenly narrowed.
"Oh? Why? ”
"Everyone has secrets, and even for three generations, you must have something you don't want others to know, don't you?" Iruka shrugged her shoulders and said as a matter of course.
"That's right." The three generations of Hokage carried their hands behind their backs and agreed with Iruka's statement, but the next moment suddenly changed his words and said: "But it also depends on what the secret is, from the position of the Hokage, I can't tolerate it......"
Before the words of the three generations were finished, Iruka said categorically: "I guarantee with my personality that I will not say that it is for other reasons, and it will never be unfavorable to Konoha in the slightest, after all, ......"
As he spoke, Iruka slowly raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of the three generations, his face full of seriousness: "This is a rare paradise in the entire ninja world, and it is also my only place to be, no matter what, I will not harm this place." ”
Iruka is telling the truth, if the perception in his mind is correct, Konoha can indeed be said to be a happy land, even if there is a dark side that is difficult to detect, at least it will be hidden in the dark, unlike other villages such as the fog in the land of blood mist, which puts the dark side directly in the light.
He is really tired of fighting, he doesn't want to get involved anymore, he just wants to be a ninja teacher quietly, so he will work hard towards the position of [Guide], no matter how powerful he is, he will not climb to the top of the world like in his previous life, because he knows that at the end of that road, there is only endless emptiness.
Noble status? Absolute power? In exchange for hypocritical flattery, fearful gaze, there is nothing else, even if there is no failure in the whole life, it will not have any meaning, it is precisely because he has experienced it that he does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so in this life, although he will continue to cultivate, his strength will not be used in the path he has taken in the previous life.
As for the reason for refusing to tell the third generation, it is even simpler, do you want him to say "I am not Iruka, but a stranger who accidentally broke in from another world"? If you say that, let's not talk about whether the three generations believe it or not, as long as it is determined that he is not Iruka himself, his fate will definitely be miserable.
"Really? That's ......."
The eyes are the window of the soul, Iruka did not hesitate to choose to look at the three generations is the most convincing sincerity, the so-called ginger is still old and spicy, if Iruka has a little hesitation, the three generations will never believe Iruka's words, living for so long, let alone being the Hokage for so many years, if he can't even see the lies of a junior, then he will live to a dog for so long.
The three generations pondered for a while, and seeing that Iruka didn't show a trace of strangeness when facing him, he finally laughed heartily: "You've grown up too, and you're no longer the pistachio in the class back then, yes, you should have your own secrets when you grow up, and since that's the case, then I won't just ask." ”
Hearing this, Iruka suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Hokage's level has finally passed, so it's good, as long as there is the Hokage's approval, he doesn't have to suppress his character and can stay in the village peacefully, after all, it is better for him to completely play the role of his predecessor, which is completely opposite to his own personality, it is better to leave the village directly.
"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, for bothering you."
"Huh...... It's me who should apologize, I've been watching you grow up, but I have to think about it from the Hokage's standpoint, I hope you don't mind my old man's suspicion. ”
Iruka hurriedly waved his hand, rather flattered, and said, "No, no, no, how could I have that kind of thought?" As the Hokage, the three generations of adults are naturally responsible for the entire village, and there can be no negligence. ”
"Huh...... It's good for you to understand, I'll help you explain it to the high-level, after all, I know your life experience best, if I have an old man as a guarantee, I think the high-level won't embarrass you, of course, you don't have to think about it, the high-level will also send out the dark department for the sake of the village, although the action is a little too radical, but they are also for the good of the village, I hope you don't resent them because of this matter. ”
"Yes, I'll understand."
The three generations nodded, this matter is over, and now is not the time to chat, it is almost time to say goodbye, but at this moment, the three generations seem to suddenly remember something, and suddenly said to Iruka:
"By the way, Iruka, what do you think of Naruto?"
Hearing this, Iruka looked at the three generations with some confusion, a little puzzled why he asked an orphan why he was a Hokage, could it be that Naruto had any special background?
After thinking about it, Iruka said directly:
"Naruto Uzumaki? I think he is a child with great potential, although he is not very qualified, but he has a rare will that many people do not have, and if you focus on training, your future achievements are limitless. ”
The third generation was very surprised by Iruka's answer, he didn't expect Iruka to give Naruto such a high evaluation, his lips squirmed, and he could see that he had a lot of things he wanted to ask, but in the end he hesitated, and just said lightly:
"It's good that you can think like that, I thought you would have a bad deal with Naruto because of that, but now it seems that I'm redundant, so that's fine, you just do what you think."
What the heck? That thing? What's that?
Although Iruka was puzzled, he didn't ask it, "that incident" seemed to have a great impact on the predecessor, and if he asked directly, it would be like saying "I'm not Iruka".
"Yes, three generations."
The third generation asked some more about the ninja teacher, and Iruka responded casually, as if he could see that Iruka was not in good shape, and the third generation explained a few polite words to Iruka such as paying attention to his body and left.
"Huh...... Tired. ”
Iruka let out a long yawn, his face full of exhaustion, the short confrontation just now caused Chakra to lose more than half, and it was naturally impossible for him to have no effect on his body, and now he felt that he had a little trouble lifting his eyelids.
But now that I've passed the test, those little ghosts won't have a good time~
Thinking of this, the corners of Iruka's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
The bright moonlight illuminated the way home, and in front of the moonlight, Iruka's shadow was stretched long, just like his thoughts, and returned to the distant stars.
