On the podium, Iruka had a complicated mood. He looked at Naruto in the distance and said, "Uzumaki Naruto, why don't you come up and introduce yourself?"
Uzumaki Naruto?
"He, he's the one?!"
Some students were stunned when they heard this, looked back at Naruto with surprised expressions, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Amidst the whispers, Naruto walked up to the podium step by step with a gentle smile.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I hate being ignored and I hate feeling powerless."
Facing the curious and surprised classmates, his blue eyes seemed to be shining, looking directly into their eyes.
"I like to learn knowledge, like to explore the unknown, and enjoy the process of being recognized by others, so I hope to become friends with everyone and gain everyone's recognition."
"As for my dream..."
Naruto lowered his eyes and smiled after a moment of silence: "I want to be a great ninja like the Fourth Hokage, and turn into flames like him, lighting up Konoha and warming everyone."
After saying that, Naruto nodded politely to Iruka, and then walked down the podium upright.
The students' expressions were slightly startled, but their eyes followed Naruto closely until he returned to his seat.
Will it turn into flames, light up the leaves, and warm everyone?
His tone was gentle, and he didn't talk about any lofty dreams like becoming Hokage.
But it made everyone feel a strong sense of conviction.
It was as if he would definitely realize his dream and become a ninja like the Fourth Hokage.
"Mom said, keep me away from that."
"My mother also said it, but..."
They couldn't connect the gentle smile and mature temperament of Naruto with the man-eating monster described by his parents.
On the podium, Iruka looked at Naruto's back, his heart trembling.
Is this really a five or six year old child?
Of course he knew how Naruto was treated in the village.
The ugly faces and vicious curses of those people made even him, a ninja, feel a chill involuntarily.
"Is this really the right thing to do to a child?"
Although he had thought about it more than once, he also resented Naruto as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and understood the Third Generation's painstaking efforts.
And even in such a malicious environment, Naruto, who was feared and resented by countless people, still maintained such a warm smile and was able to maintain such a high level of ideological consciousness.
He is simply an extremely determined inheritor of the Will of Fire.
In this comparison, Iruka felt like a real "monster".
Iruka had mixed feelings in his heart, and then made up his mind.
No matter how sensitive Naruto's identity is, at least he is his teacher and should face him fairly.
As Naruto walked back to his position, he heard the whispers of countless students.
The way the boy looked at him was hostile and somewhat curious.
Then the girl looked at him with curiosity and a hint of affection.
Naruto had a lot of thoughts in his mind as he sat down in his seat.
Iruka also distributed the textbooks, and the following classes were very boring, covering very basic theoretical knowledge.
It is a very practical survival skill in the wild, but it is not of much use to Naruto who has experience in wild life.
In addition to this knowledge, Iruka also taught content about the Will of Fire, and this subject accounted for a high proportion of the theoretical score.
But Menma had already taught Naruto a long time ago, and his teachings were more in-depth and perfect than Iruka's.
Naruto has long been familiar with the so-called Will of Fire, and can even write a more complete sequel to Will of Fire.
There are also some uses, types, pros and cons of ninja tools, and methods of making hand seals...
"Seal?"
The Kyuubi's voice rang in Naruto's head, and he said in a somewhat disdainful tone: "Who is the serious person to form seals? Can't you just clap your hands and get what you want?"
The smile on Naruto's face almost broke.
Some students began to take the initiative to chat with Naruto.
They all come from families of all sizes in Konoha, and their families have not instilled in them the idea that Naruto is a monster, so they naturally don't have the same fear of Naruto as ordinary civilians.
Instead, they just thought Naruto was interesting and a good person to make friends with.
"Naruto, my name is Akimichi Choji, kacha kacha..." Choji came over with a bag of potato chips.
After hesitating for a moment, he stuffed a handful of potato chips into his mouth and then handed the bag to Naruto.
"For you to eat."
Looking at the greasy hands in front of him, Naruto didn't show any signs of strangeness and still smiled gently: "Thank you."
Then he naturally took out three or four chips from the potato chip bag and stuffed them into his mouth in front of Choji.
When Choji saw this, although he felt a little distressed, he still had a silly smile on his chubby face.
Another boy with a red inverted triangular facial pattern on his cheek came over with a bit of a shitty expression: "My name is Inuzuka Kiba, and this is my friend Akamaru."
"Woof woof!"
The ninja dog above him barked in agreement.
"Can I touch Akamaru?"
When Naruto saw Inuzuka Kiba nodding, he reached out and touched Akamaru's furry head, and praised with envy: "Akamaru is very cute, I really want to have a partner like this."
Inuzuka Kiba's expression was a little satisfied, he scratched Akamaru's chin and said, "Hey, hey, right?"
At this moment, Haruno Sakura on the other side couldn't sit still.
Although she likes handsome guys like Sasuke, she doesn't want to be squeezed out by her friends.
After giving Sasuke one last look, she reluctantly walked towards Naruto.
"Naruto, my name is Haruno Sakura. I hope we can become good friends."
Seeing this, Ino next to him immediately looked like a puppy guarding its food. She came closer to Naruto and said with a smile, "My name is Yamanaka Ino. Although I have already said it, you have to remember this name."
Compared to Sakura who seems shy, Ino is more enthusiastic and generous.
"Sakura and Ino? I will keep it in mind." Naruto said gently with a smile.
Hearing Naruto's words, Ino was even happier, while Sakura was shy on the surface, but in her heart she was completely elated.
Choji also pushed Shikamaru who was lying next to him: "Hey! Shikamaru, don't sleep!"
"Tsk, trouble."
Although the pineapple head was mumbling, he still straightened up and came over: "Hello Naruto, my name is Nara Shikamaru."
"Hello."
Gradually, a circle of students gathered around Naruto.
Naruto also had a rough understanding of them.
After initial contact, there are a few people who are worth "making friends with".
Naruto was very optimistic about Nara Shikamaru. He believed that although Nara Shikamaru was lazy, he should have a high IQ.
This kind of guy can often see the essence of things.
Of course, he is also better at protecting himself wisely.
Presumably the core of the three Inar, Deer, and Butterfly clans is the Nara clan.
Akimichi Choji is also good. Although he is a bit gluttonous and sloppy, he also values his friends and has a relatively honest temperament.
Apart from being a bit of a nymphomaniac, Yamanaka Ino doesn't seem to have any serious problems.
"They are all very useful guys."
Naruto thought this way, but he always felt an inexplicable confusion in his heart.
"I seem to have forgotten something?"
