April 4th, 56th year of the Konoha calendar, in Konoha, under the back mountain.
While Umino Iruka and Uzumaki Naruto fell to the ground, Yamasaki and Meidaiko, who had been underground, used the Earth Release and Earth Bending technique to drag Umino Iruka and Uzumaki Naruto underground to the underground area opened by the Iron Rat.
In a small space.
Naruto Uzumaki smiled happily: "Ah, it's you, that's great, I thought I was dead."
Meidaizi smiled and said: "I almost died from laughing. Naruto, you are really suitable for performing comedy."
"That was just an accident, an accident." Uzumaki Naruto laughed dryly.
Umino Iruka said: "Okay, let's go quickly. It's not safe here. The three of them are jounin. There must be a way to find us underground."
"Ah? This is underground?" Uzumaki Naruto shouted, and then found that there was no way, "How are we going to get out? Will we be suffocated to death?"
"Don't worry, the oxygen tank is on." Mei Daizi said with a smile.
"They found us," Yamazaki said. "They are lying on the ground now. They should have heard what we said."
"Ah, why don't you run away quickly?" Uzumaki Naruto shouted.
"The ninjas in Konoha will arrive soon." Meidaizi smiled and said, "Wait a little longer."
In response to Yamazaki and Meidaiko's induction, Hatake Kakashi was already nearby...
On the ground.
"Who are you?"
"No, it's Hatake Kakashi."
"withdraw."
"Fire Release Combination Technique Garuda!"
When Hatake Kakashi arrived, the three women spit on him directly. No, it was three lines of fire.
The lines of fire converged into a huge fire dragon and rushed towards Kakashi Hatake, who was dozens of meters away, while the three women turned around and ran away.
The amount of chakra exceeds 30,000 and the temperature exceeds 600.
Hatake Kakashi judged that it was too late to use magic to resist, so he directly used the teleportation technique to dodge twenty meters away, evading the frontal attack, and then chased the enemy in the distance.
The huge fire dragon rushed past, forming a forest area nearly one hundred meters long and five meters wide, becoming a sea of fire, and the fire expanded in an instant, affecting an area of nearly twenty meters and spreading in all directions.
However, within the twenty-meter range, Kakashi Hatake's judgment was consistent with Kakashi Hatake's judgment, and Kakashi Hatake was not injured, except for some burnt hair.
The three girls had been chasing Iruka Umino before, and they had just cast a powerful ninjutsu that consumed a lot of chakra, so it was a bit slow to use the teleportation spell to escape again.
In just ten seconds, before the three girls could run out 500 meters, Hatake Kakashi caught up within 30 meters.
"spread."
"Raikiri!"
Seeing Hatake Kakashi approaching, the three girls decided to spread out, one by one as long as they could escape.
Kakashi Hatake discharged electricity on them, and three slender lightning bolts caught up with the three of them and electrocuted them.
underground.
"Ah, I feel a lot of people coming." Mei Daizi said.
"Then let's run away." Uzumaki Naruto suggested.
"Teacher Iruka, I'll send you up, and you can explain it to us," Yamazaki said.
"Okay, then you go back to school for self-study first." Iruka Umino warned, "Naruto, go to the infirmary first and don't run around."
"yes."……
On the ground, a large number of ninjas from Konoha came due to the fire. Umino Iruka discovered that some were from the police team and some were from the ANBU.
"Ah, it's Iruka, what's going on?"
"Go and help Brother Kakashi, he is chasing three foreign female ninjas."
"You stay and put out the fire."
The ANBU ninjas escaped, and the police team members stayed to put out the fire.
"Water Escape·Gathering Rain!"
"Water Release·Water Pillar!"
"Water Escape·Water Pillar Formation!"
"Water Release Wave!"
"Water Release·Big Wave!"
The Ninja Technique was unleashed, rain fell from the sky, water surged from the ground, and the forest fire was quickly extinguished.
Kakashi Hatake came back and said, "Iruka, your injury is okay, right?"
Umino Iruka said gratefully: "This is a small matter. Thank you so much just now, Brother Kakashi."
"Oh, the people underground are indeed you." Hatake Kakashi asked, "Where is Naruto?"
"I went back to school with Yamazaki and Meidaiko," Umino Iruka said, "They arrived in time."
"Then we're going back too." Hatake Kakashi said as he walked, "Tell me what exactly happened just now."
"Oh, that's it." Umino Iruka explained the matter while walking.
"The iron rat that can open up space underground and the oxygen bottle are really a perfect match." Hatake Kakashi pondered, "The perception ability is also good. What a good seedling, what a pity..."
It is a pity for Kakashi Hatake that Yamazaki and Meidaiko are not from Konoha, and Iruka Umino may have misunderstood.
"I don't think I can teach them both, but if it's Brother Kakashi, I think they can."
"No, I tried, but I can't teach them well." Hatake Kakashi sighed, what a pity for their talents.
"That's it." Umino Iruka was speechless.
Hatake Kakashi changed the topic, "Hey, you are so desperate to protect Naruto, have you figured it out?"
"Well," Umino Iruka scratched his head in embarrassment, "at first I just thought that he was my student, but then I felt that we had accepted each other, or at least started to accept each other, because during the escape process, we
Helping each other.”
Hatake Kakashi smiled and said: "Oh, then you can continue."
"I will." Umino Iruka smiled firmly.
"By the way, this strange kunai in your hand..."
"Oh, this belongs to Naruto, I just took it to defend against the enemy."
"Can you show it to me?"
"certainly."
Iruka Umino handed the kunai to Kakashi Hatake. Kakashi Hatake touched the kunai, then twisted the handle of the kunai, and a small paper roll came out from behind the handle.
"This, this..."
"This should be the reason why they are chasing you."
Kakashi Hatake unrolled the paper and found a map. In the picture was Konoha, and the trajectory of the patrol was marked.
"Here you go, give it to the Sandaime."
"Hey? What?"
Iruka Umino was puzzled as he hurriedly caught the kunai and scroll thrown by Kakashi Hatake.
"The patrol team's time and route change frequently. For them to inquire about this means that they are just conducting ordinary spying missions. It is just a practical exercise and has no meaning."
"That's it."
"Don't worry, they are not dead."
Seeing what Iruka Umino was thinking, Kakashi Hatake patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm leaving first."
"Yeah." Umino Iruka laughed...
Hokage's office.
Umino Iruka knelt down on one knee, presented the kunai and scroll to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and explained the situation.
"Oh, that's it, Naruto is just a coincidence." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled, "Okay, you can go back."
"that……"
"Hmm? If you have anything to say, just say it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and encouraged Iruka Umino who was hesitant to speak.
"Sandaime, thank you for letting me be Naruto's teacher. Because of this, I can recall the time when I was full of dreams of being a teacher."
Umino Iruka recalled that day, when he was crying in front of the Hero Monument, the Sandaime appeared...
"You are already in the first grade. I read your office director's comment about you, saying that you are always the center of laughter in school, but it turns out that you hide your sadness under your smile. It is really not easy to live like this."
"I'm not sad. It's a supreme honor for a ninja to die on duty. My parents are heroes who protect this village from demon fox attacks. I am the child of two heroes, so even if I am alone, I will definitely
I won’t be sad, my tears now are just, just..."
"Okay, I know you have been alone, hugging your knees all night long."
"How, how could it be?"
"I remember the names of every hero here. They are all family members in Konoha, and you are never alone, because I believe you also have the will of fire like your parents."
"The Will of Fire?"
"The ninjas in Konoha all have the will of fire, which means they have a strong desire to protect the village. As long as they have the will of fire, everyone in this village will be family."...
Umino Iruka said: "What you said to me, Sandaime, completely changed me. I will definitely convey the will of fire that you, Sandaime, said to the future students, including Naruto, of course."
"Oh, we'll see." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in relief...
On the other side, Ninja School.
After Yamazaki and Meidai sent Naruto Uzumaki to the infirmary, they went to a secluded area to discuss the two ninjutsu they had sensed today, the three women's fire escape technique and Hatake Kakashi's Raikiri technique...
