"Uh...hehehe..."

Because he was suffering from cold insults since childhood, and his identity as Tsukiriki, his keen perception of malice brought about by his own identity, Naruto could easily understand the emotional changes of others. So much so that after hearing the angry and angrily scolding words in front of him, the faint sense of happiness and relief made Naruto's mouth involuntarily slightly raised upwards. Then, he raised his drooping head and faced Iruka's complex gaze, while bending his eyes and raising his hand, scratching the back of his head, and responding carelessly.

"I'll find it, Teacher Iruka... It's such a pity! This time is only enough for me to learn a ninjutsu."

"Well? Learn ninjutsu...? Could it be that this child did not run to this training ground to avoid pursuit... so that he could practice ninjutsu by himself?!"

In Naruto's smile and replies, Iruka then realized that not only Naruto's entire image was stained with dust, and it became unkempt. Even the clothes Naruto was wearing seemed to have just experienced some intense movement, showing a wrinkle. This made Iruka's angry words that had come to his mouth because he heard Naruto stealing the book of seals, and driven by the thought of not being able to become steel, and suddenly there was no motivation to blurt out. Then he looked up Naruto's figure with complex eyes, and muttered and sighed in his heart.

"Naruto, who is naughty on weekdays, can actually do this..."

Of course, if Iruka knew that the embarrassing look that Naruto was present at the moment was just a basic low-level wind escape ninjutsu, which was easily created by lying leisurely on the sky before...

Well, I'm afraid that what is waiting for Naruto will be a iron fist meal full of love for the teacher...

"Ah! By the way! Nah, Teacher Iruka! Can you wait for me for a while? I will learn this super-level ninjutsu immediately!"

At the same time, compared to the surprise, Iruka, who was in a state of short loss of mind. Naruka, who seemed to be nothing strange, noticed that Mizuki, who was approaching rapidly, had already reached the nearby woods while being distracted. Then, after all the actors were in place, his face naturally showed a little excitement, and begged for Iruka with his hands. While moving slightly, he could see the gaze of Iruka, who was facing Mizuki without any defense, following Naruto's body little by little. Finally, he was in the same straight line as the direction where Mizuki hid his body.

"When I learn it, Teacher Iruka, you will allow me to graduate, right? I have heard that! As long as I learn the ninjutsu in this scroll, I will definitely be able to graduate successfully!"

"What……!"

Compared to Naruto, who was so happy that he seemed quite excited and happy, Iruka's face suddenly changed after hearing Naruto's words. Then, from Naruto's motive for stealing books, he quickly realized something was wrong, and subconsciously made a sound and asked Naruto about the identity of the messenger behind the scenes.

"Who told you that?!"

"Who told me... Of course, it was what Teacher Mizuki told me!"

While responding to the question with a smile, Naruto could easily detect the trend of Mizuki lurking in the dark when the plan was exposed. Then he pretended to be unaware of it, and naturally turned his back and showed Iruka the scroll of "The Book of Seals" he was carrying, while allowing him to face Mizuki directly, so as not to have any irreversible accidents in the upcoming attack due to the butterfly effect.

"Whether it is this scroll or the meeting place, it was told by Teacher Mizuki! Moreover, he told me that as long as I hand over the scroll to him and send it back after I learned ninjutsu, there will be no problem!"

"It's actually Shuimu..."

After Naruto responded and explained carelessly, Iruka, who had already vaguely felt something was wrong during the search process, suddenly felt like he had found the key to unlocking all the problems, making his thoughts suddenly clear. Then, after completely inferring the true intentions covered by Mizuki, who was frowning, and frowned, he spoke again, trying to explain the misunderstanding to Naruto who was "deceived".

"Listen to me, Naruto, it's not the case, it's Mizuki who is wise..."

"Swish swish swish swish--!"

However, before Iruka could see the words on his lips, he revealed them all. With his body's instinctive warning of the crisis, Iruka discovered the figure of Shuimu standing on a branch not far away, and the sharp kunai that was quickly approaching with sounds of breaking through the air!

"Danger--!"

In the depths of Iruka's heart, the moment when this thought just emerged. Without waiting for the warning words that came to his mouth, he exuded them from his mouth. Driven by the thought of protecting Naruka, Iruka's body quickly hugged Naruto's "unprepared" small figure. While using the force of his feet to rush the ground, he made his body back as much as possible. Then, he was still as dangerous as he could, when the two figures were only less than an inch away from the Kuwai thrown out by Mizuki, they dodged without any damage!

However, Iruka, who was almost instinctively trying to protect Naruto from harm, failed to notice...

Just as he hugged Naruto's figure firmly into his arms, Naruto, who seemed to be being held off the ground by Iruka, stepped on the ground with a firm step. Then, while retreating with the flow, Iruka's figure "lucky" to dodge all attacks while Naruto quietly helped... Otherwise, according to common sense, under the dodging and evasive action that was suddenly attacked, even if Iruka's retreating action could allow him to avoid a certain amount of kunai, it would definitely make him lose a lot of lottery!

In the final analysis, even if you want to restore the direction of the original plot and try to avoid the appearance of the butterfly effect... But under the influence of the goodwill that Iruka had shown before, Naruto could not bear it anyway. Even though he knew that Iruka would be injured, he still chose to stand by and watch it with peace of mind!

"Hmm? Have you avoided it? I'm so lucky..."

At the same time, seeing that Iruka was "sensible" and unexpectedly turned his sneak attack into useless efforts, the contempt and sneer that was sure to win appeared on Shuimu's face standing not far away suddenly became a little stiff. Then, in his heart, while he was secretly sighing at Iruka's "good luck", he saw that his figure and plan had been completely exposed, so he no longer had to worry about pretending to be the identity of the good man. Instead, he completely exposed his nature and sneered and mocked.

"It's really a pity that you can find here, Iruka. It's a pity that you still like to meddle in other people's business... If you can be honest, your life will not be left here by me!"

"So that's the case, is that the case..."

Faced with the appearance of the mastermind behind the scenes, Iruka didn't have time to think about why his hasty jumping was faster and longer than before. On the contrary, when Shuimu almost agreed that he was the culprit of the book theft incident, the declaration of killing and silence made Iruka suddenly feel angry. While clenching his hands firmly into fists, the blue veins that had originally faded on his forehead were exposed again. He glared at Shuimu with eyes splitting, and growled in a deep voice.

"Shuimu, you beast..."

"Okay, Naruto..."

Facing the cold gaze projected by Iruka, Mizuki, who thought he was sure to win in the current situation, ignored Iruka's existence and directly ignored Iruka's existence. Instead, he changed into a gentle and kind tone and looked at Naruka's arms, slowly stretched out his right hand.

"As agreed, hand over the scroll to me."

"Oh? Ah, oh..."

"No! Naruto! You must not leave it to him!"

Looking at Naruto in his arms, he seemed to subconsciously agree. After giving in to the "Book of Seals", Iruka suddenly became anxious. Then he adjusted his posture and kept Naruto firmly behind him so that he could use his body to cut off the eye contact between Naruto and Mizuki, and quickly spoke out and persuaded him to stop Naruto.

"The reason why this scroll is called the "Book of Seal" is because the ninjutsu recorded in it is too dangerous... and in order to get it, Mizuki took advantage of you! It's not that I want to help you graduate successfully!"

"Go, Iruka, this bastard, really likes to talk too much..."

Seeing that the "Seal Book" that was about to be possessed by Naruto was protected again because of Iruka's anger. It was obviously impossible to hand it over to him easily. After Mizuki couldn't help but frown and curse a few words in his heart. Then he tried hard to maintain the expression on his face so that he would not look too hideous and terrifying. At the same time, Mizuki, who had planned to speak in his heart, spoke again, and continued with a smile on his face.

"Ah, by the way, Naruto, it's useless to hold this scroll anyway, so why not give it to me... In exchange, I will tell you one, everyone in the village knows the truth, but you don't know, how about it?"

"Everyone in the village knows it, but this child doesn't know... Could it be..."

After keenly capturing the key words from Mizuki's words, Iruka quickly realized what the so-called "truth" that the person in front of him tried to use as a bargaining chip to exchange "The Book of Seal" with Naruto. Then his face became more and more shocked and angry, and he did not care to comfort the silent Naruto behind him, and he roared loudly among the bulges of blue veins, trying his best to stop Mizuki from continuing to speak.

"No...no! Shuimu! No--!"

"Hehe, in the twelve years, the fourth generation of Hokage sealed the nine-tailed demon fox and brought peace to the village again. You should have heard of the heroic story of the heroic ones that have been revealed many times, right? Naruto..."

Unfortunately, for Mizuki, who had made up his mind to get the Book of Seal, Iruka's loud blocking was destined to be a futile move. He then ignored Iruka's obstruction and signaled his own voice, and continued to sneer at Naruto.

"But what you may not have imagined is... After that incident, the village had an additional provision that must be followed under the order of the third Hokage... and the content of this provision is that you are the only one in the entire village, and you know nothing about it."

However, while pretending, Mizuki, who attempted to cause greater psychological pressure to "at absent-minded" Naruto, probably unexpectedly, was...

Naruto kept silent at this moment because he was always worried and afraid...

Of course, the content that was worried and afraid was definitely not Naruto was afraid of the lack of strength but dared to speak out loud...but was afraid that when he was pretending to be sure to win, he was full of confidence and showing a confident and arrogant look.

"Puff... This kind of old and dirty thing can also be used as a bargaining chip for exchange scrolls... Shuimu, this idiot, naively thought that the idiots in the village who love to point fingers and gossip about others behind their backs, can they really hold on to this 'truth' just like installing a zipper? "

After burying his face into Iruka's back, Naruto was able to use Iruka's body to cover up the strangeness of his shoulders trembling because of his efforts to hold back his laughter. Then, deep in his heart, the past years emerged, and the idiots who wanted to know the "truth" earlier, quickly went to find out the "truth" and staged a scene of mumbling thoughts like a bell-hitting. While the smile in his eyes became even more intense, he quietly turned his head a little, crossed Iruka's waist blocking, and looked at the proud body of Mizuki. Then, while talking to himself, he was teasing and teasing.

"Even if I don't have the help of the "spoilers" of the original plot... but this stupid and ignorant method can deal with the prince himself, who is so innocent and innocent that he is ignorant in the original book, can be of some use..."

"Before I get the information I want... I'll watch you pretend to be."

"Anyway, how much you pretend to be like, you will have to cry and return it back ten or a hundred times later!"
