Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Without the Nine-Tails' attack, Iruka's parents are still alive and well. And for the same reason, his optimistic and cheerful personality seems to have improved even more.

People with this kind of personality are indeed very suitable for the job of a teacher at a ninja academy.

And it was precisely because of this personality that Minato paid extra attention to him; otherwise, not just anyone could be Naruto's teacher.

but……

Yun's gaze then turned to Shui Mu beside her.

I can't quite remember this minor role.

But that intense gaze? What's going on?

Although I remember he was the first minor boss at the beginning, at this point in time, he shouldn't have been a teacher at the Ninja Academy yet, right?

It seems there's suspicion that he killed a comrade during a mission? I haven't been following this matter, so I don't know the details right now.

"Iruka, you're five years older than me, aren't you? Is it really appropriate for you to call me 'sir'?"

After making a sarcastic remark, Iruka replied with a smile, "Kumo is a hero of the village, able to end the war single-handedly, so of course we should use honorifics!"

Yun scratched his head: "Just call me Yun. If you call me that at your age, people who don't know me will think I'm an old geezer."

As Yun spoke, he looked at Mizuki behind him, thought for a moment, and asked, "You look somewhat familiar. Are you your current colleague? A teacher at the Ninja Academy?"

Hearing that he was being talked about, Mizuki, who was behind him, immediately pushed past Iruka and came closer: "Lord Yun, it's me, Mizuki. When we were about to graduate from the Ninja Academy, Iruka and the others were defeated by your shadow clones."

Uh!

Yun stepped back slightly: "I remember a little bit. I think I fought a lot of people back then, but I didn't remember you."

Shui Mu, completely oblivious to being looked down upon, shifted her position and said ingratiatingly, "Lord Yun was really amazing back then. You, a mere freshman, defeated all of us graduates with your shadow clones. I've always admired you."

Looking at the guy in front of him with such a burning gaze, Yun said speechlessly, "I'm pretty good now too."

I casually made a comment, and just then the handmade ramen was served.

Techi smiled and looked at Iruka, saying, "I heard you successfully became a teacher at the Ninja Academy. As a regular customer, this bowl of ramen is on the house; consider it a treat."

Iruka hesitated, glancing at Mizuki. "Um...maybe we shouldn't?"

Hand-paw chuckled and patted his shoulder: "No need to be polite. If you were planning to use the coupon anyway, save it for next time."

Without waiting for him to say anything, he turned around and went back to the inner kitchen.

Yun, who was standing nearby, also witnessed these actions.

So, was Shuimu rejected?

That's true. Although teachers at the Ninja Academy don't need to have extremely high combat power, Minato would definitely consider the personality and trustworthiness of the person in charge carefully.

After all, this year's freshmen will not only include his son Naruto, but also Sasuke, who is the reincarnation of Indra's chakra.

Even if this guy managed to get in before, he'll probably be kicked out after today.

By now, Minato must have already read all the information about Sasuke, right?

The lack of paternal love and the need for his older brother to share the attention must be causing Minato some headaches for a while.

"Um... Mizuki, actually, the teachers at the Ninja Academy aren't that great... Every day you have to deal with... um... some naughty students."

Iruka stammered out words of comfort that he himself probably didn't even believe.

Mizuki, standing to the side, turned to look at him, smiled, and replied, "It's alright. Teaching ninjas isn't the only path. Perhaps it's because of my own shortcomings that I didn't pass."

That reply... if Yun hadn't remembered this guy's personality, she probably would have praised his acting skills right now.

He even glanced at himself out of the corner of his eye...

Heh... Is this guy eyeing me? Aren't he going to find Orochimaru?

While he was making sarcastic remarks with great interest, Mizuki, standing to the side, seemed to be trying to portray himself as someone who liked students.

So he asked Iruka, "And you? School's been in session for a while now, how are the students?"

Iruka scratched his head: "It's... alright, I guess? Most of them are quite obedient, it's just that a few are a bit of a headache."

"Choji Akimichi always likes to eat potato chips in class, Shikamaru Nara always looks like he hasn't woken up yet, and Hinata Hyuga is too shy and often faints..."

As Iruka spoke, he looked at Yun and said, "And then there's Uchiha Sasuke. That kid seems a bit too popular with girls, and his personality..."

Yun smiled and replied, "That child's father sacrificed himself for the village when he was only a few months old. He might be a little proud at times, so you'll need to take good care of him."

These words made Iruka panic and wave his hands repeatedly: "Yun Da... even if Yun doesn't say it, I will know it. It's my responsibility as a teacher."

Yun nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Perhaps Naruto can help Sasuke with his personality issues."

As soon as he finished speaking, Iruka's face visibly fell.

"Of all the kids, Naruto is the most mischievous. A few days ago, he even skipped school with Shikamaru and Sasuke, but I caught him and brought him back..."

Yun smiled and replied, "Looks like you're good at getting along with friends...that's pretty good."

Uh!

Iruka glanced at Yun and retorted, "Is that even a valid way to interpret it?"

"Hey……"

After sighing, Iruka patted his face and regained his composure: "But no matter what, they have been my students since they enrolled, and that is my responsibility as their teacher."

Yun smiled and nodded, "This year's students are quite different. The new generation of each clan has basically gathered in this class. Being chosen as a teacher by the Hokage-sama means that your teaching ability has been recognized."

Just then, a sound came from outside the curtain of Ichiraku Ramen.

……

"You always bring people here when you're treating them, Naruto, how much do you love ramen?"

"When you make new friends, of course you have to treat them to your favorite food! Don't you agree, Sasuke?"

"My brother will be back tomorrow, and he has to go to school the day after tomorrow, so I won't be coming out tomorrow."

"Actually... I like to eat barbecue."

Naruto stopped Choji and whispered, "My mom took most of my allowance from me a few days ago because I skipped class. I won't be able to eat barbecue until next month."

Choji thought for a moment and took out his potato chips: "Do you want some? I can share with you if I'm out of money."

Naruto took out a potato chip and ate it, then pulled up the curtain and said, "Uncle Hand-Strike, four bowls..."

Before he could finish speaking, he seemed to catch something extraordinary out of the corner of his eye.

Immediately, Naruto yelled, "It's Iruka-sensei! Run!!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed Sasuke and prepared to run away.

However, at this moment, a hand suddenly appeared, twisted his clothes, and left his running legs kicking in the air.

Naruto, realizing he hadn't moved, looked up at Yun, who was holding him, and hurriedly said, "Brother Yun, let go! Iruka-sensei will catch me!"

Erzhuzi, who was being held by the hand, suddenly shook him off and said coolly, "It's a day off today, why are we running around?"

???

These words startled Naruto, who was still struggling, and Yun released his grip at that moment.

"boom."

Naruto, who had just plopped down on the ground, jumped up again: "Brother Yun, why did you suddenly let go?!"

Yun shrugged: "If you're not going to run away, why should I keep bothering you? Looks like you've gained a lot of weight recently, you're quite heavy."

Shikamaru, standing to the side, covered his head and looked at Naruto helplessly, saying, "Is this a stress reaction? Iruka-sensei isn't a demon, and you don't even remember it's a holiday today?"

Iruka, standing behind him, said in a sinister tone, "Is this how Naruto has always perceived his teacher? I'm so disappointed in him."

Naruto stood up, smiled at Iruka, and replied, "It's just that Mom is terrifying when she gets angry..."

Yun looked behind Naruto: "Isn't that Kushina? Is she out looking for Naruto?"

These words made Naruto jump up immediately and quickly look behind him where there was nothing.

"Brother Yun!!!"

Yun waved her hand and laughed, "Don't be angry. I heard what you just said. Who knows, you might tell your mother next time."

"No!!"

……

After playing around for a while, Yun paid for the ramen for the four kids. Iruka, who was standing nearby, was treated by the owner, while Mizuki, who had been ignored, had Iruka pay for his meal.

Since it's a dinner party, we can't let the boss invite Shuimu as well.

Yun, who had finished eating, wiped her mouth, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Upon seeing this, Iruka quickly asked, "Has Yun been free lately?"

Yun thought for a moment and asked, "If you need my help, you can just say so. I should be in the village most of the time."

Iruka quickly said, "Could we give the children a practical combat lesson the day after tomorrow? After all, Kumo is a hero, and many of this year's freshmen want to become ninjas like Kumo."

The day after tomorrow?

Because of the invitation from Tokuma, the training plan for Class 10 did not begin this morning.

We'll meet in the afternoon, then I'll take care of them for another day tomorrow, and then let them practice on their own the day after tomorrow? After all, we can't keep an eye on them every day.

Moreover, among the new students that Iruka is mentoring this year, there are nine of them. As a fake fan, I remember being quite excited about the transition from 2D to 3D.

"The day after tomorrow, morning or afternoon?"

Iruka was taken aback by these words, then exclaimed with delight, "Yun agreed? Morning or afternoon is fine, whatever Yun's schedule allows."

Yun nodded and said, "Then let's do it this afternoon. There's more time then."

Iruka quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "Then I'll leave it to Yun."

……

After agreeing, Yun turned and left Ichiraku Ramen.

Iruka, who remained to observe the students, smiled and said to Mizuki, who was standing to the side with a somewhat pale face, "Kumo, who has such power, is really easy to talk to. Using our idol as a role model this time will definitely help the children."

Shui Mu responded with a livid face, his hands clenched so tightly under the table that they were practically bursting with rage.

Meanwhile, Naruto scratched his head, annoyed, and said, "I was planning to go fishing with Shikamaru and the others the day after tomorrow afternoon. Does this mean the plan is ruined? After all, Brother Yun coming to training class is a completely different matter from Iruka-sensei..."
