From the night of the genocide to the strongest

Chapter 17 The Situation of Sasuke and Naruto

Hokage Building, Office.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A knock on the door interrupted the Third Hokage who was concentrating on the crystal ball and blushing.

"cough"

The Third Hokage coughed lightly, silently turned off the screen on the crystal ball, and put on a serious posture.

"Please come in."

As soon as the words fell, Iruka walked in and respectfully said, "Master Three Generations!"

Huh?

Why is the face of the third generation adults so red?

Probably three generations of adults are getting older, and their blood pressure tends to be high.

"It's Iruka, do you have something to report?"

The Third Hokage spoke lightly, with a strong sense of affinity and kindness in his tone, as if standing in front of him was not the leader of a village, but a kind-hearted old man next door.

"Yes, Mr. Three Generations, isn't it the first month of school? I'm here to present the student report of our class to you."

While speaking, Iruka handed over a document in his hands.

"Look at my memory, I'm getting older."

The Third Hokage shook his head and laughed at himself, took the information and read it, which recorded the students' grades and performance in the first month, as well as Iruka's analysis of the students' situation.

"Is the teaching going well recently?"

After flipping through for a while, Sandai Hokage asked casually.

Iluka replied in a deep voice: "Three generations of adults are concerned, and everything in the class is fine!"

"Ah."

The Third Hokage nodded slightly, and continued flipping through the manuscript. When he turned to the information of Uchiha Sasuke, his hands stopped, and his eyes became more serious.

"How is Sasuke now?"

The Third Hokage looked at Iruka and asked softly.

Iruka was silent for a while and then said: "Three generations, Sasuke's character has undergone some changes."

"Ah."

The Third Hokage nodded slightly, not surprised in the slightest, normal people would feel more or less changed when encountering such a thing.

"In the past, although Sasuke looked arrogant on the surface and treated other students with a look of indifference, it can be seen that it was just a child who acted tough and arrogant in order to cover up his inner shyness. Words and deeds, the current Sasuke"

In the past, Sasuke pretended to be handsome and cool, like a proud lion, making it difficult for people to approach, but in reality he was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

Iruka sighed and continued: "Three generations, I still suspect that the current Sasuke has a closed personality disorder."

The Third Hokage took a puff of cigarette: "Continue talking."

"Sasuke feels too calm now, it's not like that at all"

Speaking of this, Iruka paused, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "A closed personality means a lack of interest in the outside world; a personality that lacks emotional experience. Although Sasuke will respond to other students' greetings, he treats people very well. Polite, but Sasuke basically does not take the initiative to communicate with other students, nor does he take the initiative to participate in activities, let alone contact with people around him. On the surface, Sasuke has become a lot more easy-going and polite, but he has now closed his heart."

Iruka could feel the deep sense of distance hidden under Sasuke's superficial politeness, there was no one in his eyes, or some people were not here.

Thinking of what happened to Sasuke, Iruka sighed inwardly.

Why wasn't he like this at the beginning?

In the Kyuubi incident, I witnessed the sacrifice of both Jonin parents to protect the village, which changed my personality drastically. I was a happy fruit in front of my schoolmates, but I often cried silently in front of the Konoha Memorial Monument by myself.

This kind of superficial calm, in fact, only the person concerned can experience the inner pain.

"is it?"

Third Hokage's eyes fluctuated slightly, smoking a cigarette in silence, thinking of Sasuke's performance in the past two months.

He goes to school as usual every day, never being late, and never absent from class. After school, he silently locks himself in the Uchiha field for training.

In terms of interpersonal communication, it is also a businesslike look.

Staring at the calm face on the document, Sandai Hokage sighed and put down the document in his hand.

"Iruka."

"Hi, three generations of adults!"

"Where the leaves are flying, the fire is always alive. The first generation of masters united the companions of the major families to create the village. The second generation of masters inherited the ambitions of the first generation and founded the Ninja School. In addition to teaching children Let them learn the skills to become ninjas, and let them learn to understand the meaning of companions. Just like the sea, an individual is like a drop of water in the sea. A single drop of water cannot make the sea, but when all the water comes together, it will become the sea."

The Third Hokage looked at Iruka and said seriously: "Sasuke has closed his heart now. His behavior now is very similar to yours when you were a child. You will have to work harder in the future. I hope that under your guidance, Sasuke will become a real one in the future." Heir to the Will of Fire."

Speaking of this, Sandai Hokage sighed slightly in his heart, thinking of Uchiha Mirror, Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Itachi.

Guilt, nostalgia, complicated, entangled emotions flashed in his eyes.

Iruka didn't notice the change of Sandai Hokage, but saw his face straightened, and quickly replied: "Yes, Sandai-sama!"

The Third Hokage nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Where is that Naruto guy? How is it now?"

Speaking of Naruto, Iruka showed a dumbfounding expression: "Three generations, Naruto is still as worrying as before."

The Third Hokage chuckled: "Iruka, it seems that you have already accepted Naruto from your heart."

"Yes, Sir Three Generations, please take care of this matter."

Iruka nodded, with complicated eyes.

Because his parents died at the hands of Kyuubi, and Naruto was the incarnation of the fox in the village rumors, when he first became the teacher of Naruto's class, Iruka was once unable to face Naruto, and offered to resign from the third Hokage.

The last three generations of Hokage gave him two choices, either choose to teach Uzumaki Naruto, and try to accept him with an open heart.

Either expel Naruto directly, out of sight, out of mind, and let Naruto drop out of school.

In the end, Iruka, who is kind and gentle by nature, still chose the first one.

"Although Naruto is careless on the surface, he is a very soft child in his heart. He is very lonely and longs to be recognized by others, but he may not be able to find a more suitable method now."

As time gets longer, Iruka discovers Naruto's inner loneliness, and slowly accepts Naruto, and also understands why he hopes to be recognized by everyone, because Iruka once had the same expectation for everyone when he was a child .

"Hahahahaha!"

Hearing this, Third Hokage nodded and laughed heartily.
