Chapter 212, Room A-520
It was lunchtime at the ninja academy.
Shizuko, the new class teacher, was sitting on the podium watching the students in case anything unexpected happened.
Hmm, judging by the time, Iruka should be back by now. But Naruto and the others are amazing, taking the Chunin Exams so early.
This morning, Shizuko was in charge of Iruka's class. Fortunately, the village has increased its investment in education in recent years, and there are now enough teachers in the school so that some classes can be taught normally.
The midday sun shone through the window onto Shizuko's fair face. To be fair, Shizuko was almost 20 years old, which was considered relatively old in the ninja world.
But since she became a teacher at a young age, her daily work isn't too demanding, and with her regular skincare routine, she still looks stunning even though she's almost twenty.
She looked up at the chattering students below and smiled helplessly.
It's a good thing that students are active; as long as nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be any problems.
The two sitting in the middle, one Hyuga and one Uchiha, are a bit difficult to deal with, but after a long period of loving education, they have been able to shake hands and make peace.
This is inseparable from the occasional return of senior Sasuke and senior Hinata, as well as the exceptionally talented senior Naruto.
Oh, and there's also a small sachet of koji.
Karin: What kind of accessory is this?! I'm the core member of the team! Who will sense things and heal if the team is without me? Hmm... putting aside the first two points, who else but me can complain?!
"Teacher, it seems like Iruka-sensei is outside."
A girl pointed to the pineapple-shaped hairstyle that had appeared outside and said to Ms. Shizuko.
"Huh? Oh, teacher knows. The second round of the Chunin Exams should be over by now."
Shizuko smoothed her hair, then got up and walked towards the door.
Wow~
"I wonder when these two will finally get together."
"Waaaah, Shizuko-sensei was called away by Iruka-sensei just like that."
The sound of crickets came from inside the classroom; after all, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Iruka and Shizuko were in such a state.
"What's wrong, Iruka? Is everything going well over there?"
Shizuko looked at Iruka, who was in a daze, and tilted her head to ask curiously.
"Ah, everything went smoothly, they all got through this hurdle."
Iruka smiled shyly, then spoke under Shizuko's scrutinizing gaze.
"All ten people passed, although the process may have been a little bit dishonorable."
A hint of curiosity flashed in Shizuko's eyes, and then she walked towards the office led by Iruka.
"You two better behave yourselves. Qianshan and Liuhuo, you two keep an eye on the class."
Before leaving, Shizuko spoke to the classroom through the window.
A boy wearing a shirt with the Uchiha clan crest nodded helplessly, and the Hyuga clan boy next to him nodded in return.
These two former troublemakers have become qualified class committee members (tools) after being educated by their seniors.
"Alright, you handle that."
Uchiha Ryuka glanced at Hyuga Chizan and said to him.
Why should I listen to you?
"Today I am the class monitor, and you are just a deputy class monitor."
Bang!
The table was pounded loudly by Qianshan.
"how?"
"Fine, we'll take care of it!"
In the office, Shizuko, dressed in a Chunin vest, rested her chin on her hands, looking at Iruka and listening to him tell her about the changes in his students.
"Oh, by the way, do you have any plans for tonight?"
Iruka snapped out of his daze and abruptly asked such a question.
"Uh, well, let me think."
A sly glint flashed in Shizuko's eyes as she gently bit her index finger, pretending to ponder.
"Tell me what it is first, and I'll see if it's urgent."
Iruka scratched his head and then said, "Didn't the students finish their exams? They're having a barbecue party tonight, shall we go together?"
"Oh? Is that so? Then let's go together."
Shizuko nodded and accepted Iruka's invitation.
"Okay, I'll come find you after school."
Iruka nodded, and at that moment Shizuko noticed something was slightly off.
"Iruka, have you had lunch?"
Shizuko looked at Iruka's waist curiously and asked.
"I've already eaten. Did you make the bento?"
"No, weren't you supposed to be proctoring an exam today? But... why is your wallet empty?"
Silence, utter silence.
Iruka's expression froze, and he subconsciously looked down at his empty wallet.
"I treated the students to lunch."
Seeing Iruka's embarrassed expression, Shizuko covered her mouth and let out a light laugh, then stood up to say goodbye to Iruka.
"Then it's settled, come pick me up tonight."
After saying that, Shizuko turned and left, while Iruka smiled, picked up the school-related files on his desk, and began to read them.
Training Ground 4, formerly the assembly point of Class 7, is now the rendezvous point for Class Iruka.
"I'll repeat myself, do you understand all the details?"
Ino and Karin stood in the middle of the training field and addressed the group of people sitting cross-legged around them.
"Okay, I understand."
"Then let's set off."
The group got up and walked towards the barbecue restaurant.
Kushina, inside the sealed space, grinned mischievously. To be honest, she, Kushina Uzumaki, was also a fan of the Shizuko and Iruka pairing.
Sa na lu tou yo, let's get the atmosphere heated up and present our romantic love to your mom!
Minato looked at Kushina, who had suddenly become agitated, and was a little confused, but he showed respect and affection.
When school ended in the afternoon, Iruka and Shizuko slipped away early, and the security guards didn't even bother to stop them, and even wished them a safe journey.
What a joke! Everyone knows that Iruka, as the school's vice principal, is a favorite of the Hokage, and he's also very popular. Plus, today he's accompanied by Shizuko-sensei!
As a security guard, I usually chat with the old men and women at the school gate about gossip when I have nothing to do. They usually share their stories with me, but today I can share mine with them.
"Aoi-nee, it's been a long time. I've come to see Naruto and the others."
Iruka and Shizuko walked into the barbecue restaurant together, keeping a distance of less than three centimeters, and said to Akimichi Aoi.
"Oh, Naruto and the others, they're in a private room on the second floor, room A-520."
Aoi smiled kindly and thoughtfully told Iruka and Naruto their location.
"Huh? When did we get a private room like this?"
Iruka explained why there was a room called 520 on the second floor.
"Ahem, you don't need to worry about that. You'll see it at a glance when the time comes."
Aoi winked mysteriously at Shizuko, then said.
