Calm down, Iruka, you're a 22-year-old adult, a tough guy who has carved out a bloody path in the battlefield of blood and fire, the strongest superpower who has ever climbed to the top of the world, the enlightenment teacher of the nine stinky imps, a promising young man with high hopes from three generations of Hokage, and a handsome young man who will be accosted by a big sister with a good figure when he goes to a nightclub......

Feeling the warm spring water surrounding her body, and while the pores of her whole body were stretched, Iruka's face was extremely shaken, and her mind kept flooding with disorganized words, trying to calm herself down with some inexplicable thoughts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But it didn't serve any purpose --

"Iruka-sensei, are you listening?"

"In ...... Listening ......"

Izumi's voice was very close, definitely no more than two meters away, and Izumi's rare soft timbre was gripping, crushing the strange thoughts in Iruka's mind in an instant, and bringing him back to reality in an instant.

By the way, the place where Iruka is now is the most famous hot spring street, and it is also a hot spring that is so expensive that only local tyrants can afford to consume, such a high-end place, and there are naturally hot springs for single use, although it is very expensive, but it is nothing to the elite Shinobi Uchiha Izumi who has been completely independent economically, and can even help the family solve economic problems in turn.

Of course, the main reason why Iruka is so shaken now is because this is a single hot spring that is so expensive to him -

"Ahh

That's right, this damn single onsen, damn mixed bath, and of course, the damn rockery that sits in the middle of the hot spring to give the hot spring a retroactive shape.

In other words, this broken hot spring is too much, so do you want to make a big stone in the middle? Sure enough, it's the shopkeeper's brain, right?!

Although he thought so in his head, Iruka denied the spring beauty behind the rockery with righteous words:

"Shake the fart! I'm just a little nervous because it's the first time I've come to this kind of money-burning place, don't say stupid things, to me you're just an ordinary roommate, able to hook up and drink together, play cards together, and prostitute together...... Anyway, I never cared about that! ”

"Can you repeat what I just said?"

Hearing this fluttering sentence, Iruka was stunned, and then said with some hesitation:

"Uh...... That one...... You seem to be saying ......"

"I didn't say anything just now."

Before Iruka wanted to casually talk about something like he didn't hear clearly, Izumi directly sentenced him to death, and Iruka's face suddenly stiffened, sure enough, a shrewd girl named Uchiha Izumi was not an existence that could be matched by a scumbag like him who didn't know how to calculate.

"You...... Anyway, it doesn't matter what happens, but I'd like to know why you came to the hot springs. Wouldn't it be nice to find a quiet place to talk? Like the roof or something. ”

"Huh...... Iruka-sensei remembers the first time I was confused. ”

Of course, Iruka remembers that the false shell of Izumi when she first moved in was also a survivor who had experienced the tragedy of annihilation, and her reaction was very different from that of fellow survivors, Senzuki and Sasuke.

Iruka can understand Izumi's reaction, after all, family and friends and even the whole clan were slaughtered by the Uchiha Itachi who has been liked since childhood, and the confusion derived from the interweaving of hatred and love, the escape after confusion, and the heart that gradually died in the process of evasion, if it wasn't for the fact that she found out early and stopped her from escaping in time, it is estimated that there would not be the current [Crimson Moon].

Although she later returned to the starting point of the confusion at the beginning, at least she did not live like a dead person, after all, the confusion will dissipate one day, and once the heart is dead, everything will be over.

"The quiet environment can make me feel inexplicably depressed, but the hot springs can completely relax the body and mind, and that's the only way...... I can say what I don't want to say. ”

Iruka's face sank, Izumi's voice has lost its previous agility, facing his heart is not so simple to do, people are creatures after all, and as long as they are creatures, they will have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, instinct will make people subconsciously not want to face those things that are unfavorable to themselves, Izumi needs to let herself relax, and even do not hesitate to let go of the girl's reserve and let herself be a big man to accompany her in the hot spring, her inner depression at this time can be imagined.

"Sure enough, it's because of Sasuke, right?"

Iruka said in a tone of course with her arms outstretched, her head tilted, her whole body leaning against the smooth stone wall of the rockery.

"As sharp as ever, Iruka-sensei."

"Every time Sasuke comes over, your reaction is always very wrong, and it's hard for me not to pay attention."

On the other side of the rockery, Izumi was silent for a long time, and finally her faint voice came out:

"The two brothers really look alike, every time I see Sasuke, I always can't control the appearance of Itachi before he joined the shadows, obviously a very gentle person, why ......"

"Maybe something happens that you don't know, people, it will always change because of some people, certain things and a certain environment, your understanding of the ferret only stays on his gentle side, not everything about him, everyone is living with a mask, what you see is whether that side is a mask, or real, only a real in-depth understanding can be discerned."

"It means ......"

Behind the rockery surrounded by mist, there was a sound of water.

"What do I need to know about Itachi? But even so, it's impossible to really get an answer, after all, consciousness and reality are two states that are completely unequal, no matter what the hardships are, he is a sinner who slaughtered a clan, based on this fact, no matter how you think about it, it will only come to the conclusion that I, as a member of the Uchiha clan, must bear the hatred of the entire Uchiha clan. ”

As she spoke, Izumi's voice suddenly became high, even with a slight trill, and Iruka could feel Izumi's manic and chaotic heart at this time.

"But you don't want to kill him, do you?"

Hearing Iruka's tone without the slightest emotion, the back of the rockery fell silent again, and after a long time, Izumi's obviously painful voice came out:

"It has nothing to do with my own will, reason and emotion are opposites in themselves, if I don't avenge the Uchiha clan who gave birth to me and raised me, then, is there any point in my life?"

Iruka shrugged her shoulders and said softly:

"What you want to do, what you should do will not coincide many times, and I also know that according to morality and ethics, you have to avenge the whole race, but this is just the so-called [right option], then, life only needs to be right? A life without failure and mistakes must be a perfect life? No kidding! ”

Speaking of this, the corners of Iruka's mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a meaningful smile:

"When you ignore everything and only choose the absolutely correct option to the end, you will find that what awaits you is only endless emptiness, after all, the word correct itself is empty, and the result obtained with an empty process has no meaning at all."

This is the conclusion that Iruka reached at the cost of his life in his previous life, and because of this, he did not go to the same path as his previous life in this life, even if he now has the strength to fight with the Hokage, he did not show a trace of edge, but lived the life he chose with peace of mind as an ordinary middle ninja teacher, except for the Hokage's absolute cronies and Konoha high-level officials, no one in the village knew Iruka's true strength at all.
