Chapter 51 Ino's Stubbornness [Charge for the Gossip!]
Hiruzen Sarutobi is leading an ANBU squad to confront Danzo.
After all, Itachi had already told him part of the situation.
His old friend had gone too far, actually targeting Shisui.
Wait, he wouldn't be thinking of using Shisui's Kotoamatsukami...
Damn it, we absolutely cannot let him continue to act so recklessly this time.
but...
As the Hokage of the village, there were many dark places where he couldn't easily intervene, and Danzo's presence was a great help.
This is also the original reason for the establishment of the root.
Perhaps it's time to replace the root.
Who is it?
A figure with long, straight black hair appeared in his mind.
(Are you looking forward to a Root leader version of Itachi?)
Let's return our focus to the ninja academy; it's lunchtime.
Iruka did not choose to eat out today.
The reason was that a female teacher brought Iruka a boxed lunch.
That's right, Iruka received the so-called "love meal".
(✪ω✪)
"Hey~ Iruka-sense~"
Ino approached Iruka-sensei, covering her mouth and making a sound full of curiosity.
Gossip!
This is definitely gossip!
๑Ő௰Ő๑)
"Who gave you this pink bento box?"
With Ino starting, all the students in the class who had been eating with their heads down looked up.
Ho ho ho, finally a brave warrior is leading the charge!
Oh, you're asking why Naruto didn't charge in?
His emotional intelligence is really low in some ways; for example, he genuinely believed that Iruka's bento box was pink.
However, for the precocious ninja trainees, it's clear that the teacher's gossip is a very potent spice.
Especially their own homeroom teacher.
"Oh, this?
It was a gift from the homeroom teacher next door..."
Iruka spoke a little softer than usual, and his face was unusually flushed, not red with anger.
Naruto scratched his head.
The homeroom teacher next door, isn't that Mizuki-sensei?
Why did Mizuki-sensei send Iruka a pink bento box?
No way, Mizuki-sensei has a crush on Iruka-sensei!
And Iruka-sensei accepted it!
Snap!
Hashirama and Kurama, who were inside the sealed space, were stunned by Naruto's rebellious idea.
Kurama: "Hashirama, tell me! Did you corrupt Naruto?!
If I ever get the chance to see the Fourth Hokage again, I'm going to report you!"
Hashirama: "Wait a minute! I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Hashirama expressed his innocence, saying he wasn't that kind of person, and that he had a wife and children!
Madara and I are absolutely just close friends!
(Tobirama: Yes, a close friend who wanted to be buried with me even after he died, he didn't even want his wife and children, he just wanted to lie down with Madara.)
Damn it, just thinking about it makes me angry! They're truly born evil Uchiha clans!!!
He leaned slightly towards Hinata.
"Hey, Hinata, I didn't expect Iruka-sensei to like Mizuki-sensei's type."
Naruto lowered his voice and whispered in Hinata's ear.
The warm breath that escaped her lips brushed against Hinata's ears, making her cheeks slightly flushed.
Hinata brushed the hair behind her ear and tied her ponytail back up.
Sigh, why does Naruto-kun think about these things in such a peculiar way?
"I think... the teacher was referring to Ms. Shizuko next door."
Yes, Iruka's class is in the middle of the two classes.
The class on the left is Mizuki's class, and the class on the right is Shizuko's class.
"Oh, I see. I think I misunderstood."
Hinata pouted helplessly, but the next second it was as if she suddenly thought of something terrible.
"Wait, Naruto-kun, did you know that Shizuko-sensei is teaching the class next door?"
Naruto was a little confused as to why Hinata was asking such a question.
"Yes, I know her. I even saw her at the meeting."
Therefore, Naruto's first thought was of Mizuki-sensei, not Shizuko-sensei.
Does this mean Naruto...?
Take! To! There! A! Problem!
Hinata's face turned pale instantly.
"But I didn't know she was the homeroom teacher, I didn't realize it for a moment."
Naruto added.
Oh, it's alright.
Hinata patted her chest, realizing that's how it is.
I can happily continue eating now!
Hmm, this is the third bento box!
Once Ino received the gossip, she couldn't stop herself from going too far.
"Oh~? Tell me more!"
The golden retriever nuzzled closer, and Ino closed her eyes, eagerly anticipating the beginning of the epic love story she was about to hear.
Huh? What's going on? Why isn't Iruka-sensei saying anything?
Five seconds passed, and Ino noticed that not only had Iruka-sensei not spoken, but even the sound of him eating had disappeared.
The previous chattering and jeering also stopped.
It was as if she had become the only person left in the world.
Is it time-stopping?
It must be time to stop!
Right...?
"Ouch~~~ That hurts!"
Iruka gave the overly gossipy girl a hard knock on the head.
Are kids these days so precocious and gossipy?
I wasn't like this back then, I wouldn't be getting a female teacher to bring me lunch now.
"Go back and have your lunch. You're so young, focus on your training!"
Poor Ino covered her head and slunk back to Sakura's side.
When Haruno Sakura saw her best friend return, she gave her a big thumbs up.
"As expected of you, you stubborn pig."
"Go to hell!"
Ino was taken aback by Sakura's nickname, sob sob sob.
She just wanted to offer some advice on Iruka-sensei's important life event, but she never expected to end up like this.
However, Sasuke's gaze was mostly fixed on Ino, since he had only ever seen one girl as brave as her.
This small detail was naturally noticed by Ino, who was paying attention to Sasuke.
Although Sasuke quickly turned his head back, he still stared at Ino for half a second.
Hey Sasuke, did you just look at me?!
Ino became smug.
"Hey, Sakura-chan~ Sasuke-kun just looked at me."
Provocation! Absolutely provocative!
A blatant provocation!
However, its destructive power is far greater than that of Sakura's stubborn pig.
No, I have to hold back. She's my best friend, she's my best friend.
"Yes, yes, maybe Sasuke just wants to see you make a fool of yourself."
Sakura retorted.
However, it appears rather pale and weak.
After all, Sasuke usually only pays attention to a few things.
Studying, his own older brother, with blond hair, Hinata.
The fact that I was able to make eye contact with Ino this time proves one thing.
Sasuke: Woman, you have successfully piqued my interest.
Yes, this is just a fantasy in Ino's head.
Sasuke, on the other hand, was thinking about how to tell his brother about the gossip about Iruka-sensei that afternoon.
Also, Ino is really brave.
