Chapter 210 Iruka: Rest in peace, my wallet!
"Then let's open the scroll."
Everyone opened their scrolls, and then a figure appeared among the little ones.
"Clang clang clang! Huh?"
A puff of white smoke dissipated, and Iruka, dressed formally, made a dazzling entrance. He opened his eyes, eager to see which team from his class had advanced first, but...
"Huh? Huh? How did you two get together?"
Iruka looked at the ten children, all from his own class, and fell into a brief moment of self-doubt.
"Aww, because Naruto's team's location is broadcast every day, and we guessed where they were from the beginning. After finding all the scrolls, we rushed over there."
Ino raised her hand and said with a grin.
"Thump."
Iruka gently tapped Ino's head.
"What the hell? This is the Chunin Exams! How can you guys do this?"
"If word gets out, won't Konoha lose face?!"
Iruka roared fiercely at Naruto and the others.
"Well, it's okay, we all got the scrolls on our own anyway."
Naruto chuckled and stepped forward, while Ino feigned innocence, looking at Iruka with teary eyes.
"Oh well, you guys... never mind, I'll be more careful next time."
Iruka wanted to say something, but with his students staring at him, the words of harsh criticism he wanted to say stuck in his throat. In the end, he could only softly say, "Be careful next time."
It seems like he's said this so many times since they started school. Honestly, I'll have to be firm next time.
"Alright, everyone has passed the exam. Now, please register in the lobby and you can leave."
Iruka led the students to the central hall of the tower and pointed to the registration staff, speaking to them.
"Oh, and also, Naruto, the Hokage wants to talk to you about something."
Iruka hadn't forgotten what Sarutobi had told him. When he received the mission to wait here for his student to pass the exam, Sarutobi specifically instructed him to tell Naruto to come find him after the exam.
"It's because of Orochimaru, isn't it?"
Naruto was initially puzzled, then he thought of Orochimaru's appearance.
It's strange how my grandfather knew about this, but even if he hadn't told me, I would have gone anyway.
Naruto selectively forgot that he had just forgotten about it.
Let's go together.
Karin looked at Naruto and said.
As you all know, she was referring to Class 7.
"Then we'll be going now. It seems like there's still more than a month until the next exam. How about we all have dinner together tonight?"
Shikamaru waved goodbye to Naruto and the others.
"Okay, let's all meet at Akimichi BBQ restaurant at 5 pm."
Naruto nodded. After all, he had been eating wild game in the Forest of Death for a week, and the taste was definitely not as good as the barbecue restaurant.
Just thinking about the taste of barbecue makes my mouth water.
"What, aren't you going to invite the teacher along?"
Iruka smiled as he looked at the group who had arranged the dinner and jokingly asked.
"Hey, Iruka-sensei, are you coming? Sure, sure!"
Ino popped her head out and then said with a ulterior motive, "Remember to bring Shizuko-sensei along too, we miss her too."
Iruka's smile froze for a moment, then his expression turned a little shy.
"Um, I'll ask about it later, if I have time I should be able to."
Seeing Iruka-sensei's expression, Ino raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Iruka-sensei was still a blockhead. No, as his beloved student, she had to give him a push tonight.
"Then it's settled. If you can't bring Shizuko-sensei, Iruka-sensei, you don't need to come either."
Ino said domineeringly, then turned and left with everyone.
"Sakura, let's do this and that tonight, and we'll definitely succeed."
Ino approached her best friend and whispered in her ear.
Sakura's eyes lit up as she followed Ino's plan. She felt it was highly feasible, but the chances of getting beaten up were also very high.
As expected of you, Ino with the iron head.
Shikamaru overheard Ino's loud plot, a slight twitch appeared on his lips, and he silently mourned for Iruka-sensei that night.
Iruka watched the group walk away. Although his lips twitched slightly at Ino's last words, they slowly turned into a smile.
The children have all grown up.
Who knows, they might end up just like me soon. Sigh, time really flies.
"Alright, Naruto, let's go."
Iruka looked at Team 7 and spoke to them.
"Hmm, by the way, Iruka-sensei, I want to eat Ichiraku Ramen for lunch."
Iruka paused, then turned around stiffly to look at Class 7.
"Oh, we'll pay for it ourselves."
Seeing that Iruka's expression was a bit stiff, Naruto took the initiative to speak.
"It's alright. You've all passed the second exam. How can the teacher not reward you? It's alright, the teacher will treat you to lunch today."
Iruka's facial expression struggled for a moment, then he made up his mind and said.
"Okay(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ"
Naruto and Karin cheered at the same time, while Sasuke glanced at Iruka's wallet and estimated the amount of money inside.
Hmm, I should be able to get through this meal.
Sasuke glanced back at Hinata, who had lowered her head and was slightly blushing, and then overturned his earlier prediction.
Maybe we won't make it...
Wallet: I'm about to be emptied.
After walking for half an hour, Team 7 and the others chatted with Iruka along the way, talking about many things from Naruto's past and the current situation of the class that Iruka is leading.
"Please, Iruka-sensei, make sure to keep an eye on Konohamaru and prevent him from sneaking out again."
After hearing about skipping class, Naruto spoke to Iruka.
As the eldest brother, he has an obligation to make sure that his younger brother is studying hard enough.
Although he might not have been serious about it back then.
"Well, ever since they escaped and got caught, Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon have all behaved themselves a lot."
Iruka looked at Naruto who had said those words and scratched his head, a little speechless.
Naruto ran away quite a few times back then.
"arrive."
Iruka looked at the crimson Hokage Building in front of him, and then two Anbu members appeared in front of the door.
"The Hokage wants to see Naruto and the others."
Iruka addressed the two of them.
"Principal Iruka, don't worry, I'll go and inform the Hokage."
One of the ANBU recognized Iruka's identity. Iruka had now become the vice principal, and since the Hokage was basically just a figurehead principal, it was actually Iruka who handled the school's affairs.
We still have to give this future bigwig in the education field some face.
"This is troublesome."
Iruka said.
