Chapter 25: Self-Introduction and Sasuke
As the class bell rang, Iruka walked into the classroom with the roster.
Although there were no traps such as blackboard erasers and buckets this time, Iruka still looked at Naruto who was in the back row of the classroom.
Naruto was reading a book with his head down, looking like a good student who is keen on studying, but Iruka did not forget that Naruto is a demon fox and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in the village.
And his parents died in the turmoil raging at Nine Tails.
Although there is an essential difference between Jinchuriki and Tailed Beast, he still hates Naruto.
This is also what most of the ninjas in the village think after they know the identity of Jinchuriki.
They don't care about the difference between Jinchuriki and Tailed Beast.
They just need a channel to vent.
Iruka also sometimes has the idea of venting anger, but he works hard to overcome this prejudice.
His dream is to become an excellent teacher who will not change his attitude towards students because of their family background.
After trying to calm down, Iruka took a deep breath and began to introduce himself, "Before the formal lecture, I will introduce myself first. My name is Iruka. I will be your homeroom teacher for the next six years. I like Ichiraku ramen, but hate bibimbap. My dream is to become an excellent teacher and not discriminate against any student."
"What kind of dream is this? Shouldn't the teacher's dream be to become Hokage?"
"At least, you should try to become the principal of the ninja school. Is becoming a teacher a dream?"
Immediately after Iruka introduced himself, there were chattering noises from the audience, and they even began to laugh at Iruka's dream.
Iruka's face was a bit ugly, but he still said patiently, "Dreams don't distinguish between high and low. We need to respect the dreams of others. Would anyone below be willing to introduce themselves first?"
"If not, I will decide according to the roster."
After hearing Iruka's words, Naruto looked up at his homeroom teacher, and then looked forward to other people's self-introduction with great interest, and began to think about what his dream was?
Does he want to meet the expectations of others and become the Seventh Hokage, or choose to be himself?
What kind of dreams does the the Third Hokage wish he had?
At the same time, the third Hokage who returned to the Hokage office also took out the crystal ball to watch the live broadcast.
Iruka's class is the class he values the most this year.
The next generation of Ino-Shika-Cho, the eldest lady of the Hyuga clan, the second young master of the Uchiha family, and the person he cares most about, Jinchuriki Naruto are all in Iruka's class.
And Iruka, who has been personally cultivated by him, is naturally the best candidate to teach these children.
Soon, it was Naruto's turn to introduce himself.
After getting up from his seat, he said neither humble nor overbearing, "I am Uzumaki Naruto, and everyone should know my real identity by just asking around. My hobbies are cooking, reading and practicing. My dream is to live the life of ordinary people and protect those who I want to protect."
Naruto's dream is too humble, and but this dream is too difficult for Naruto.
Shikamaru and Choji also looked at Naruto with complicated expressions, they understood that Naruto was very lonely.
Hinata showed a worried expression, as if she wanted to get up and go to comfort Naruto, but at the same time she was a little annoyed that she had never understood Naruto's heart.
As for Sakura and Sasuke, they looked at their new deskmate curiously, realizing that Naruto seemed to be not an ordinary person.
The Third Hokage put down his pipe, and he began to wonder if he was being too harsh on Naruto.
After knowing that he was Jinchuriki, Naruto seemed to have completely lost his dream and just wanted to be an ordinary person.
But a Jinchuriki is destined to not become an ordinary person.
After sighing lightly, he closed the crystal ball and began to deal with government affairs.
Feeling the disappearance of the chakra enveloping him, Naruto understood that his self-introduction was finally complete.
His self-introduction had never been for Iruka and his classmates, but the Third Hokage who silently manipulates his life.
Only when the Third Hokage is satisfied, can he pass the level smoothly and gain more benefits.
As for the self-introduction of the follow-up students, Naruto did not pay too much attention and chose to continue reading the textbook.
Since he chose to be high-profile, he naturally couldn't lag behind in the cultural class, and he was also interested in the above knowledge.
However, what Naruto didn't know was that what he said just now had attracted Sasuke's attention.
After the get out of class bell rang, Sasuke came over and said to Naruto, "Hey, I remember your name is Naruto, right? They all call you a demon fox behind your back. Are you particularly strong?"
Naruto put down his textbook, glanced at the young version of Sasuke, and shook his head secretly.
Sasuke ignored the ban and called himself a demon fox to his face.
Although his intention was not to offend, he still felt that Sasuke deserved a beating and was ready for a fight.
"They did call me that behind my back. My strength is not too strong. I can barely master the three-body technique."
"Have you mastered the three-body technique?"
Sasuke was a little surprised, no wonder he felt that Naruto was strong.
Everyone has just entered school, and Naruto has already mastered the three body jutsu.
As far as he knows, only his brother can do this.
At this moment, Sasuke's eagerness to try and learn from each other also disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Naruto saw what Sasuke was thinking, and said with a smile, "You should be Uchiha Sasuke, from the family of the security force, don't you want to have a discussion with me?"
"Could it be that you haven't mastered the three body jutsu yet? Aren't all Uchiha geniuses?"
Sasuke's face was flushed, but he really didn't master the three-body technique, only the clone technique and the substitute technique.
If Naruto didn't lie, he is not Naruto's opponent, but when it comes to the honor of his family, Sasuke can't back down, so he challenged Naruto.
"I accept your challenge, shall we find a spacious place?"
"How about the playground? Just under the witness of everyone."
Sasuke made a proposal, but the next moment, his neck was pressed against a pencil, and a black spot appeared.
Naruto's voice resounded, "Sasuke, you have already lost!"
Sasuke said a little unconvinced, "You just sneak attacked, and we didn't even start."
Naruto glanced at Sasuke, and said contemptuously, "The battle has already begun since you initiated the challenge, and the enemy will not give you a chance to prepare, and will not compete with you openly."
Sasuke choked for a moment, but he still refused to admit defeat and said, "I challenge you again, this time I am ready."
Naruto shook his head slightly, got up and left his seat, turned around and glanced at Sasuke, "I reject your challenge, let's wait until you become stronger. I'm not interested in fighting people who haven't mastered the three-body technique."
Hearing this, Sasuke not only did not become negative, but also became more energetic.
He thought that there were not many people in the ninja school who were qualified to be his opponent, but he didn't expect Naruto at the same table to be a strong opponent, and life in the ninja school became more interesting.
