Wow! That's amazing!
Smelling the fresh scent of apples that wafted into his nose, Naruto Uzumaki, who knew very well that he had been helped, found himself unable to hold back his tears after the initial surprise.
Before he could even habitually wipe his face with his slightly dirty sleeve, a roll of blue toilet paper, which looked more like a leaf than a toilet paper roll, appeared inside his desk.
————————
Unlike the morning's lectures on various ninja world knowledge, the afternoon seemed to be mostly used by the ninja academy for teaching taijutsu, due to the weather.
Of course, for the six-year-old kids who have just enrolled, no matter how crazy or unscrupulous the teachers in the ninja academy and the leaders of various villages are, it is still impossible for them to start having the children practice real swords and spears at this time.
Therefore, the first physical training class after entering school became the classic running exercise. There was no goal; you just kept running until you couldn't go on anymore. It was a rough way of selecting talent.
After all, running tests a person's overall physical fitness and willpower.
"Class, there are no rules for this half-hour run without any counting. The only restrictions are not stopping and not injuring your classmates. Let's begin!"
On the school playground, at Iruka Umino's command, all the little rascals in the class started running around the playground.
Silently leaving his figure at the top of the group, he adjusted his breathing and running frequency.
Knowing her own strength, Lin Nian, who was constantly being watched by the higher-ups of Konoha and couldn't hide much, never intended to conceal her abilities from the beginning. After all, in a world where only those who grow up can be considered geniuses, no one wants cannon fodder.
Both are missions, but geniuses are assigned to elite Jonin, while cannon fodder are lucky to have a newly promoted Chunin leading them. The difference in the level of danger is simply unpredictable.
Three years of accumulation still allowed him to far surpass most of his peers. Even though his speed was never particularly fast, his stamina, which was almost animalistic compared to his peers, made him one of the few closely trailing Uchiha Sasuke after 20 minutes of running.
However, in terms of physical condition alone, even the cool guy Uchiha Sasuke was clearly panting at this moment, but he still didn't show any obvious fluctuations.
Silently, he took out paper and pen and recorded the performance and condition of each student. After recording Uchiha Sasuke and Lin Nian in detail, Umino Iruka once again turned his attention to Uzumaki Naruto, whom the Third Hokage had asked him to take special care of.
"A fox spirit?"
Looking at the small, thin figure on the playground, struggling to catch up with the other students, his small stature was due to long-term bad habits, and his clothes were dirty and messy compared to others because he lived alone.
The expectation and longing in his eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing Iruka Umino's heart time and time again.
But he should be the one who hates the fox demon the most! Because of the fox demon, he lost his most cherished family, and because of the fox demon, he endured a tragic childhood!
As an ordinary Chunin who could only teach students, Iruka Umino had no idea what Jinchuriki was. Looking at this fox demon, he was conflicted.
The pain from six years ago was repeatedly torn open when facing Naruto Uzumaki. The bloody wounds and the unforgettable pain made Iruka Umino want to draw his kunai several times.
but……
"Iruka, Naruto is a very good kid. I believe you are a very good teacher and will definitely be able to guide him onto the right path, right?"
Recalling the questions and earnest teachings of his idol, the Third Hokage, Iruka Umino felt extremely pained at this moment. In the end, he did not fail in his responsibility as a teacher and recorded Naruto Uzumaki's performance with utmost impartiality.
But deep down, I was once again lost.
"Third Hokage, is Naruto Uzumaki really a fox demon?"
Although human thoughts can transcend time and space and cross distances at their fastest, it is clear that Iruka Umino cannot do that. After he embarked on a journey of self-examination, his last moments also slipped away with the wind.
Silently nominating Uchiha Sasuke, who had been striving to be at the forefront, as first, Senju Ryoun, who was now only one step behind Uchiha Sasuke, as second, and Inuzuka Kiba, who was one step behind them, as third, it was already afternoon, and Kaiya Iruka, who was at the Ninja Academy's dismissal time, also announced the end of get out of class.
Ignoring Naruto, who was silently watching everyone's jubilation with envy, and knowing that he couldn't change anything, he walked out of the school gate and saw Yamato already waiting outside.
Just as he was about to say hello, he saw Yamato's eyes look behind him. Through the Blue Silver Grass, which had completely blended into the weeds, he saw that Naruto Uzumaki was hiding in the corner of the school gate, staring blankly at them.
Lin Nian nodded slightly to Yamato, leaving everything to him to decide, and then silently came to Yamato's side, turning around to look at Naruto Uzumaki.
"A-Nian, is he your friend?"
"I don't know, but I wouldn't mind helping him out if I'm able to."
With a slight glint in his eyes, Yamato, who had always known that his younger brother could learn something from nature, gently ruffled Lin Nian's long, azure hair and then waved to Naruto Uzumaki.
After all, as an elite Jonin, he knew Naruto's situation. It was also out of a little selfishness on his part as an older brother! If they could build a good relationship, Naruto would be able to protect Lin Nian when he grew up.
Furthermore, Wood Release can only restrain Tailed Beasts, not control them like the Sharingan can. It won't cross the line of the Third Hokage or his teacher.
With a hint of surprise on his face, Naruto Uzumaki pointed to himself and, after Yamato nodded in confirmation, ran over.
But as he got closer, his steps slowed and his expression became more and more conflicted. It wasn't until Lin Nian raised her hand and waved that Naruto finally made up his mind and ran over.
"Let me reintroduce myself! Lin Nian, my dream is to become stronger and live a peaceful life. My hobby is quiet."
"This is my guardian and older brother. You can call him Yamato. He's a pretty ordinary Jonin."
As he spoke, he reached out and patted Yamato's thigh, making Yamato smile helplessly.
He was clearly an elite Jonin, after all.
Wow! Wow, that's amazing!
