Konoha Strengthening Master

Chapter 289 Next is my turn
"But the truth of the matter is that the real demon fox is none other than the little ghost named Naruto next to you, not Yiren."

As Iroha's voice fell, not only Iruka was stunned, but even Naruto beside him was in disbelief.

Different from the original book, he knew the news of Yaohu very well, and he always thought that the main reason why Yiren was rejected by the villagers was because of the other party's heavy identity.

But now someone actually told him that his elder brother is not a demon fox, the real demon fox is himself?
"It's impossible, do you think you can confuse us with such outrageous news?"

Iruka guarded Naruto behind him, disdainful of Iroha's words just now.

"Huh? Don't you believe me?"

Seeing that Iruka didn't listen to her own one-sided words, Iroha shrugged and didn't go further, because even she herself knew about it from Yi's mouth before.

So she is not very clear about the specific situation.

Facing the pressing Iroha, Iruka kept a stern face, and told Naruto behind him: "Naruto, the situation has changed, you return the seal scroll first, and I will deal with it for the time being."

However, after Iruka finished speaking, Naruto not only did not leave, but stood up again from behind Iruka.

To Iroha who didn't care at all, he said: "Mr. Iroha, you just said that the real demon fox is me, can you tell me more about this matter?"

"Naruto, don't be fooled by the other party's words."

Seeing that Naruto took the initiative to ask the other party, before Iroha could answer, Iruka on the side immediately changed his expression.

Although he didn't know the truth of this matter, but at this juncture, he didn't want any surprises. As for the truth of this matter, he would personally ask Yi Ren afterwards.

"Iruka, you have never wanted Naruto to know your identity. Could it be that you are afraid? Fear of Naruto's true identity will shake your heart?"

Iroha sneered at Iruka's innocence, and said to Naruto: "I don't know the specific content, but what is certain is that in the past, in order to protect you from being harmed during the growth process, Yiren, in his own name, Replaced your identity as a demon fox."

"According to what you said, it's because of me that my brother has been suffering from supercilious looks before? Is it because of me that I have caused my brother to be rejected by the villagers all the time?"

As he spoke, Naruto lowered his head deeply, clenched his immature fists, his expression was ferocious, and he looked very excited.

"Damn it, I'm trying so hard to make my brother recognize me and make the villagers respect me. In this way, I can at least change the villagers' impression of my brother, but... all of this is actually my fault. own reasons."

His shoulders became trembling, and Naruto's heart was under tremendous pressure. He felt that his efforts over the years were simply useless.

Seeing this, without waiting for Iruka to comfort Naruto, Iroha in front of him continued to sneer: "Yes, Uzumaki Naruto, you yourself are the culprit of all this, your birth is a sin... If you really want to Let your brother be free, and let me kill you."

Following Iroha's questioning and bewitching, Naruto's grasped scroll was thrown aside at some point.

In the depths of the blue pupils, the thick sadness seemed to be an indelible mist, blurring his vision.

Maybe he should really be killed by the opponent here, as Iroha said, is the best choice.

At this moment, Naruto suddenly felt a broad palm pat on his shoulder.

Slightly raised his head, after seeing Iruka smiling at him, the tears in Naruto's eyes finally couldn't hold back, after all, he was just a 12-year-old child, after hearing this kind of news suddenly , I was inevitably a little flustered.

"Iruka-sensei, I... what should I do? If what Iroha-sensei said is true, I..."

"Naruto watch out!"

Just when Iruka wanted to comfort Naruto beside him, out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see the shuriken thrown by Iroha.

It was too late to resist, Iruka's heart swayed, and without thinking much, he pulled Naruto beside him to him.

And he himself endured all the suffering with his own body.

"Iruka-sensei?"

After seeing the blood dripping from Iruka's body on his face, Naruto opened his eyes wide, his shocked face was filled with sadness.

"Iruka-sensei, are you alright?"

Seeing Iruka's body suddenly fell down, Naruto hurriedly supported the other's body: "Mr. Iruka, don't scare me, I..."

"Naruto!" Seeing that Naruto was at a loss and panicked, Iruka couldn't help showing a touch of tenderness on his face, caressing Yiren's small head with his rough and generous palm, comforting him: "Don't worry, Naruto, I'm fine... ...you just asked me what to do, didn't you?
It's actually very simple, just leave everything to Yiren! "

"?"

Naruto, who was originally hiding nearby, was suddenly speechless after hearing Iruka's answer. At first, he thought Iroha's attack was a bit heavy just now, but now it seems that the other party's attack was not heavy at all, even a little light.

Isn't this obviously cheating brother?
Originally, he planned this attack to let Naruto understand the burden on him, but when Iruka said this, didn't he put the burden on him again?
Just as Yiren kept complaining from the bottom of his heart, the injured Iruka said to Naruto again: "You are that guy's most beloved brother, and it is his greatest happiness that you are safe and sound, so you don't have to think about it, since Yiren He will do this, which means that this is all voluntary."

"But……"

Naruto still finds it hard to accept. As a responsible person, he doesn't want to hide behind other people and accept their protection.

"I know, I know what you think, so, from now on, Naruto will protect the others, and when you are strong enough, you will protect Yiren.

If Yiren was your safe haven for the first 12 years, then you will be allowed to be Yiren’s safe haven for the next 120 years. In this way, I believe no one will criticize Naruto. "

"Pfft, Iruka-sensei, my elder brother won't live to be that old!"

Naruto, who was amused by Iruka's words, made a joke, and stood in front of him again.

"Naruto, what do you want to do? Get out of here!"

Seeing Naruto confronting Iroha, who has the power of Chunin, Iruka was shocked.

Hearing this, Naruto grinned, turned the weakness in his heart into a weapon to protect others, and said to himself: "I just learned a powerful big move, Mr. Iruka, just watch it!"

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!!!"

As a large amount of smoke rose, in the dense forest, hundreds of Naruto said together: "Mr. Iroha, next is my turn."
