The Teacher-Student Relationship

The moon gradually rose higher.

At this hour, Hinata had long since departed.

But in the quiet forest, someone was still training, sweating profusely.

"Sasuke, aren't you going home yet?"

At eight o'clock in the evening, Naruto stopped his training on time; it was about time to go home, wash up, and sleep.

Before leaving, Naruto cast a curious glance at the boy sitting on the other side of the training ground, constantly creating charcoal, wondering what had stimulated him.

Usually at this time, Sasuke would have already gone home to have dinner with his family.

And even if he had already eaten with Naruto, Sasuke would not miss the rare time to spend with his family after dinner.

But today, he was voluntarily practicing here until now.

"You go first, I'll practice a little longer." Sasuke's hands didn't stop, continuing the action of making charcoal.

"Be careful not to overdraw your Chakra."

Working hard in cultivation was a good thing, and Naruto had no reason to dissuade him, so he reminded him and got up to leave the training ground.

To this day, Naruto could skillfully use the power of wind to accelerate himself while moving.

Although the forest where he trained was quite a distance from his home, it didn't take Naruto long to almost reach home.

Not far from his residence, Naruto stopped on a rooftop.

As far as he could see, there was still a shop lit up on the street corner.

The shop was not big, just a small bungalow, with the words Ichiraku Ramen written on the sign.

"It's still open, then I'll have a late-night snack before going back." A smile appeared on Naruto's lips, and he jumped off the roof, landing in front of the small shop, and lifted the curtain to walk in.

"It's Naruto, the usual?"

At this moment, there were no customers in the Ichiraku Ramen shop. Teuchi, the owner, was sitting behind the counter in a daze. Naruto's arrival immediately attracted his attention, and he enthusiastically stood up to greet him.

"Yes, a Large Bowl of Char Siu Ramen, no Bamboo Shoots, thank you."

Naruto smiled in response, politely stating his request.

"Okay!"

Teuchi responded and happily busied himself.

As a chef, there was nothing happier than cooking for customers.

Naruto found a seat and sat down, supporting his chin with one hand, watching the enthusiastic chef busy at work.

Gradually, Naruto's thoughts drifted back to about a year ago.

At that time, the Ninja Academy had already started for some time. Although Naruto had never gone to class, each time it was a Shadow Clone that had been allocated abundant Chakra.

But as time passed, he gradually became familiar with the classmates in his class and Iruka, who was his teacher.

Listening carefully to the lectures, whether it was Shuriken or Taijutsu, or knowledge-based trap skills, Naruto could use them perfectly, becoming the well-deserved number one in the grade.

Even Sasuke, the Uchiha clan's second young master from the Elite Clan, had grades below Naruto, with his only comparable performance being in Shuriken class.

Naruto did his best to be polite to the teachers at the Ninja Academy.

Respecting teachers and valuing the Way is a concept that Naruto quite agrees with.

Even if the other party, like those adults he detested, treated him with unwarranted anger, as long as they seriously taught him knowledge and fulfilled their most basic responsibilities as teachers.

Then, Naruto would not speak ill of them, maintaining the etiquette of a student.

At most, he would just avoid in-depth interactions.

However, this behavior did not receive praise, nor did it improve his situation in the Ninja Academy.

After hearing about these things, those adults gave Naruto an even stronger attitude of disgust.

A transformation of a demon was even more outstanding than their children, learning the knowledge of how to become a ninja. What if he used this knowledge to kill people even more rampantly in the future?

Influenced by them, the children attending the Ninja Academy isolated Naruto even more.

Some parents even demanded that Naruto get out of the Ninja Academy, fearing that he would run wild and turn into a demon, harming their children.

However, these undercurrents were all suppressed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage.

Under this general environment, even many of the children in Naruto's class gradually began to distance themselves from Naruto.

Only a very few children were unaffected and continued to get along with Naruto.

Iruka, as a teacher, came into contact with Naruto, the student known as the Demon Fox, every day, feeling his difficult situation.

Being kind by nature, he was finally able to suppress the uncontrollable hatred in his heart and treat this student named Naruto with his own heart.

Although Naruto was a genius, much stronger than him who had been dull since childhood, they were both the same, having lost their parents since childhood and knowing the loneliness of being alone.

For the first time, he tried to put aside his prejudices and touch the heart of this student named Naruto.

"If there is anything you don't understand in your studies, you can come and ask me. I can also explain the content that you haven't learned yet."

That day after school, Iruka stopped Naruto, who was about to leave, and took the initiative to smile and speak, releasing his own kindness.

Then, Iruka discovered that Naruto keenly felt his kindness.

After that, Naruto would take the initiative to ask Iruka about some basic ninja knowledge that he didn't understand.

And whenever Iruka carefully and meticulously solved Naruto's doubts, he would receive a sincere thank you from Naruto.

Occasionally, Naruto would also bring Iruka some small snacks he made himself as a thank you gift.

The teacher and student gradually became familiar with each other in such interactions.

About half a year ago, Naruto, as a Shadow Clone, accompanied Iruka to sort out teaching props until very late.

Then, Iruka took the initiative to invite Naruto to dinner.

"Naruto, how about the teacher treating you to ramen? Ichiraku Ramen, it's very delicious."

At that time, Naruto was stunned.

For the first time, an adult had invited him to eat, instead of giving him cold, murderous stares.

Even though he had become familiar with Iruka-sensei over the past few months, Naruto still felt like he was in a dream at this moment.

This world wasn't all darkness after all; there was warmth that belonged to him, Naruto.

"The teacher doesn't mean anything else, it's just that Naruto, you often give me the snacks you make, but I don't know how to cook, and I don't have anything to give back, so I'm treating you to a meal to express my gratitude."

Seeing Naruto stunned, Iruka panicked a little and quickly explained.

He had also lost his parents when he was young, and since then developed a strong character, unwilling to easily accept the kindness of others. His abrupt invitation probably hurt Naruto's self-esteem.

At this moment, he couldn't help but blame himself, why hadn't he thought of this sooner.

"Iruka-sensei, I'm very happy, see you at Ichiraku Ramen later." Naruto understood what Iruka was thinking, and interrupted his wild thoughts with a smile, then dispelled the Shadow Clone Technique.

It was also at this time that Iruka realized that his student probably hadn't come to class properly at all, and it was all Shadow Clones.

Iruka couldn't help but feel veins popping on his forehead.

But in an instant, he smiled again, his student was so excellent, he as a teacher should be happy.

Afterwards, Iruka left the school and went to Ichiraku Ramen.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the shop, he saw Naruto, covered in sweat and dust, running from the end of the street.

"Sorry, Iruka-sensei, I was training just now, so I'm a bit scruffy." As soon as he arrived, Naruto explained with an embarrassed smile.

Iruka shook his head, didn't say much, and beckoned Naruto to enter Ichiraku Ramen.

"Welcome, two guests, what would you like to eat?"

Teuchi, the owner, saw Naruto clearly and recognized him as the child rumored in the village to be the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

However, his attitude did not change at all, and he still greeted them warmly.

In this world, not everyone will hold a grudge against others after all.

From then on, Naruto fell in love with Ichiraku Ramen.
