Chapter 30: Mizuki's Careful Thoughts

By the time Naruto returned to Konoha, it was already dark. The sun hung halfway down the mountainside, and a pale golden glow shone on Konoha Village.

In front of the Konoha Ninja School.

Naruto looked at the parents who were looking out in front of the door, unable to be quiet for a long time.

Naruto, who was thinking about it, found that the door of the school suddenly opened at this time.

The students who came out of Luo Guanguan were either full of laughter or a little sluggish.

Naturally, those who are happy are of course those who pass the exams, and those who are full of gloom ...... He silently walked in front of his relatives, not daring to look at the disappointed faces of his family.

When I learned that my child had passed the exam, I hugged and left happily!

And the children who were ready to accept the dark faces of their parents also left silently under the comfort and comfort of their families. I guess I'm going to come back next year!

Standing behind a large tree in front of the door, Naruto quietly watched the scene in front of him.

The crowd in front of the school quickly dispersed, and a few moments later, a few people were still in place, but they were also ready to leave.

Naruto shook his head, seeing this scene, he was really touched and emotional!

It's like the scene of children after school in the previous life. Merely...... The sedan motorcycle disappeared.

The shadow of the twig covered Naruto's body, and no one noticed that there was a teenager here who was silently watching all this. Naruto, not discovered by everyone.

But...... Is that so?

Iruka stood in front of the school, watching the delighted children leave, and the nodding students who were ready to come back next year.

I don't know what kind of mood it was, Iruka lowered his head and sighed slightly, and just as he was about to return to school, he saw someone!

"Naruto?" After a moment of stunnedness, Iruka's voice changed from a question to a roar with a little anger: "Naruto!!"

Naruto, who was still feeling emotion when he heard someone shouting his name, subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

The muscles on Naruto's face seemed to stiffen, and even the smile turned into a stiff laugh!

"Yi ...... Teacher Iruka ......" The boy was stunned for a moment, but he forced a few words out of his mouth and waved his hand at Iruka who was walking towards him, which was regarded as a greeting.

Iruka believed it had been a long time since she had been so angry as she was today.

The guilt I felt for Naruto in my heart was now all transformed into skyrocketing anger. Especially when he saw that Naruto still had kung fu and was in the mood to smile at himself.

Walking quickly in front of Naruto, Iruka had a calm face and asked heavily, "Why didn't you come to the assessment today?"

Naruto was silent, and Iruka, who was watching, felt a wave of anger in his heart.

Iruka, who was about to open his mouth to question him again, was extinguished by Naruto's soft words.

"Come to the exam...... Can I pass it?"

Can I pass? Can I pass?

The two words echoed in Iruka's mind for a long time, and the anger in the homeroom teacher's chest disappeared all at once, and he looked at the young man in front of him blankly, speechless.

"Huh!" Naruto smiled wryly, "Since it's already over, why should I have to suffer another failure?"

Looking at the young man's smiling face, Iruka still didn't speak.

Yes, it's already an exam that is destined to fail, and do you have to endure the pain of another failure?

Iruka opened her mouth: "But ...... But you shouldn't be ...... Don't come......"

This sentence is very stumbling. Naruto was still smiling, looking at Iruka, quietly listening to him finish.

"Really?"

Naruto spat out two words and didn't answer the teacher, just like that, the two of them looked at each other for a few seconds. Naruto took a step back and said to Iruka, "So...... Teacher, I'll see you again. I'm going back now......"

The boy left the teacher behind him and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of the young man who was gradually moving away, Iruka suddenly yelled as if he had just reacted, "Naruto, don't you think your behavior is an escape?"

The figure in the distance paused slightly, stopped walking, and stood in the wind. A whisper slowly came and drifted into Iruka's ears.

"Since it's already an inevitable thing...... So why bother to say that this is a question of evasion?"

His footsteps began to move again, and in a short time he had disappeared from Iruka's vision. The breeze swept across Iruka's face, but Iruka's mood became very heavy.

When it is heavy, there is a sense of lightness. It's really ambivalent.

Heaviness...... I don't need to say more, right?

Relaxed...... It's because he has discovered another trait that Naruto hides deep in his heart but inadvertently reveals.

This kid ...... Be proud!

After standing there for a long time, Iruka left.

The area around the tree was quiet again. The leaves rustled, as if unwilling to be so quiet!

What the two didn't know was that a conversation between the two was listened to by a third person without missing anything.

After Iruka's figure disappeared, another figure walked out of the gate of the ninja school.

The corners of his mouth were occupied by a graceful arc, and the person seemed to suddenly think of something and smiled happily.

Naruto, who had left the school gate, walked on his way home, replaying the conversation he had just had with Iruka.

Naruto suddenly laughed.

Since it is already an inevitable thing...... So why bother with what kind of evasion is this?

Naruto discovers that he also seems to have a talent for being a philosopher!

It's just that...... Are there any philosophers in this world?

Yes...... Yes, there is. I just don't know, who is ......

Shaking his head, Naruto continued to walk forward, and after turning a quiet alleyway, Naruto froze, quietly looking at a figure across the street.

"Huh...... Naruto, don't be nervous, we must have met......"

Naruto's face was expressionless, looking at the comer, with a questioning tone, a few words slowly spit out from his mouth: "Mizuki...... Teacher?"

Who came...... It was the ...... who worked as a teacher at Konoha Ninja School Nakashinobu Mizuki!

After a slight pause when he heard Naruto shouting "Mizuki-sensei", Mizuki's eyes quickly flashed a trace of fierceness, and it was fleeting.

What he didn't know was that his small movements had already been silently recorded by the young man standing not far away.

"Huh. Since we know the teacher, let's talk about something? ”

Facing the student across from him, who was still a little kid, at least Mizuki thought so, he said with a soft smile.

After pondering for a long time, Naruto finally nodded, "Okay...... ......."

Mizuki smiled even brighter. beckoned, walked "side by side" with the teenager who came over, and soon disappeared around the corner of the alleyway.

Mizuki thought he was a very smart move, but he didn't know that it was also hanging under the noses of some people.

Clear, clear.
