Hokage's Strongest Teacher

Chapter 102

Yunokuni, Kusatsuhara, a town famous for its hot springs in the Ninja World.

It is also the last stop of Iruka and Izumi’s trip.

It has been three full weeks since I left Ichijuku. During this period, except for the five major countries, all the other small countries such as Takuni, Taki, and Kawa no Kuni have walked. I don’t know why Izumi would rather sleep in the wild. Let Iruka use his power to fly on his way.

“Hmm… Onsen? It feels like it looks good.”

Walking on the bustling street, looking at the pedestrians who are mostly wearing various yukatas around, Iruka said quietly with interest.

Long-distance travel or something is boring to Iruka. Famous places to eat are better. Iruka is still more interested in food after all, but he doesn’t catch a cold at those famous attractions, and he can’t see the so-called ones at all. What’s so interesting about the places of interest? Every day, I don’t visit here and there, or watch the monkeys at the circus. The so-called travel is simply aimless wandering around. People like Iruka, who have no homesickness at all, start to miss Konoha.

“The hot spring at the end of the trip is the best thing, Mr. Iruka, this time I will let you go once. Let’s choose the hot spring.”

Izumi put her hands behind her back, her chest was slightly raised, and she followed Iruka lightly. I don’t know if it was an illusion. Iruka always felt that Izumi had become more active since she left the country of Stone than when she was in Konoha.

“Hey…thank you really~”

Iruka replied insincerely, and then stopped abruptly. It seemed that he had noticed something and turned his head to look in a certain direction, showing a rather concerned look on his face.

“What’s wrong?”

“I met an acquaintance, let’s go, let’s go over and say hello.”

After speaking, Iruka stepped forward to the corner street, seemingly too lazy to say who his acquaintance was.

Upon seeing this, Izumi glanced at Iruka’s back with dissatisfaction. She didn’t doubt Iruka’s words. After all, Iruka had told her that he could perceive the position of people he remembered in a certain range. His reaction was obvious. Knowing who was nearby, the reason for dissatisfaction was not because Iruka didn’t tell her who the acquaintance was, but because she was upset that the rare two-person trip ended early because of the so-called acquaintance.

Not long after, Iruka and Izumi crossed several streets, and soon came to a very luxurious hot spring shop, which can be called the most luxurious hot spring shop here.

Before entering, Iruka heard a familiar voice:

“Teacher Hong, let’s go to a cheaper place. I’m really sorry to make you spend money.”

“It’s okay, Hinata, it’s rare to pass by Yunokuni. What if you don’t want to take a hot spring? I will come even if you don’t come, and you must have a memorial for completing the C-level mission for the first time. If you think too much, let the teacher be generous once.”

“This… alright.”

Hearing the conversation inside, Izumi immediately knew who Iruka was talking about. Although she was not familiar with Hong, she just cooperated to complete a few tasks. Usually there is no contact, but it is not that she does not know each other. It belongs to the kind of relationship where chance encounters will nod to each other.

“Huh? Mr. Iruka, the acquaintance you are talking about is Senpai Red? Tsk, if I remember correctly, Senpai is much older than Mrs. Iruka? And I heard that Mr. Asuma meant that for Senpai, could it be said? Even if it’s like that, Mr. Iruka, you…”

An unbelievable color appeared on Quan Mi’s delicate face. Upon hearing this, Iruka suddenly sent a chestnut to her forehead, and said dumbfounded:

“What do I say you have become a love mind? How can you think about the relationship between men and women? Although I and her barely know each other, they are not close to the level of acquaintances, let alone friends, and I How could you be interested in a woman five or six years older than me?”

Izumi rubbed the spot where Iruka had hit, her eyes rolled, and she said casually:

“Hey… Mr. Iruka’s mate selection criterion is indeed age. Although I am not very interested, let me ask, Mr. Iruka, what is the approximate age deviation between the women you are interested in and yours? ”

Iruka, who just wanted to walk in, heard Izumi’s inexplicable question, and couldn’t help but stop temporarily, looking at her with some doubts, but still replied casually:

“Within two years old, no matter if it is two years older than me or two years younger, I will not be interested. Why are you asking this suddenly? Are you calculating the danger of living with me? If so, then you are OK. Don’t worry, I have always regarded you as my sister. After all, I am four years behind you. Even if I live together, I will never have any other interest in you.”

“Sister…what…”

Quan Mei groaned for a while, and then snorted in dissatisfaction for some reason, and an annoyed expression gradually appeared on her face.

“Hey! Who wants to be your sister who is trying to hide H books at home? It’s shameful to say.”

Hearing that, Iruka shrugged indifferently, and then raised his feet again and walked in. The next moment, he saw the red paying at the counter and the tooth sitting on a chair not far from her, Shino And Hinata.

As soon as Iruka and Izumi came in, he was noticed by Hong.

“Ms. Iruka, Izumi, why are you here?”

After paying the money, Hong walked up to the two of them, greeted them politely, and then asked with some confusion.

“It happened to pass by here on the way back to the village after completing the mission, so I wanted to soak in a hot spring before going back. Are you guys too?”

Izumi smiled slightly and replied in a gentle voice. Iruka nodded on the side. Hinata and the others also noticed Iruka, and they came over and said hello politely.

After two months of not seeing each other, they seem to have grown a lot. The most obvious change is that their little faces are less childish and more determined, and they are much more reliable than when they just graduated.

Several people chatted for a while, and then Quanmei said that when it was time to prepare for the hot spring, Hong suddenly suggested:

“Izumi, I have two hot spring rooms. How about you and Hinata and I, Mr. Iruka, Ka and Shinao? Originally, we were too few and thought it was a bit wasteful, but now you and Mr. Iruka are almost the same. .”

“this……”

Quanmei’s face is a bit embarrassed. To be honest, she doesn’t really want to go to the hot springs with people she doesn’t know. Don’t think she always talks with Iruka. She seems very cheerful, but she has always been a cold girl in front of others. Image, let’s not talk about normal social interactions like bathing in hot springs and eating together. When Iruka is not next to her, others may not get a response when talking to her. Kakashi and Guy, who are also elite Jōnin seniors, can communicate with her normally. .

After hesitating, Izumi turned her head suddenly and looked at Iruka. She obviously gave him the right to make the decision. As long as Iruka agrees, she will naturally not object.

Seeing Izumi’s appearance dominated by Iruka, Hong suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at this young man who was so proud and arrogant in front of most ninjas with great interest.

“Why are you looking at me? You can make up your mind on such trivial matters. Anyway, it’s not me who pays. My opinion doesn’t matter~”

Iruka’s attitude was as casual as before. Upon hearing his words, the eyes of Hinata, Toa and Shino looked at him suddenly became a little weird. In addition to respect, there seemed to be something more that made Iruka very upset.

“I’m really an idiot expecting Mr. Iruka to make up his mind, forget it…”

Quanmi sighed helplessly, and then politely said to Hong: “Then I will trouble you, Senior Hong.”

“Haha…nothing.”

Hong gave a chuckle, gave them a meaningful look, and then went to the counter to go through the formalities.
