Naruto: Initiating Chaos by giving Hinata the Tenseigan!

Chapter 44: 044: Iruka's Trademark Awkward Smile



"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire!"

"Genjutsu: Demonic Mirroring!"

"Earth Style: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling!"

At the Academy!

The squad led by Uchiha Kurama was intercepted outside the school grounds. The roaring sounds of battle clearly reached inside.

Currently, only one classroom in the entire school remained lit: the one occupied by Naruto, Sasuke, and their classmates.

"Teacher, what's all that noise outside?"

"It sounds like someone's fighting?"

The students, listening to the rumbling, felt uneasy.

"It's nothing. That's the older students conducting combat training. They have a nighttime assessment today." Iruka wiped the sweat from his brow, quickly explaining.

At the same time, he wondered what the higher-ups were up to, making him keep the students back. 

But judging from the situation, it seemed someone meant the students harm, making it even more crucial not to let them leave.

"So it's the seniors' practical training? They're so amazing."

"The school's really going all out! I saw a building collapse from their fighting."

"Wow, that's awesome! Are they graduating students?"

"Look, it's on fire! The lab building just got rebuilt, and now it's burning again."

Except for a few Shikamaru-level students, most were still innocent and naive children, looking out the window and exclaiming excitedly.

A strained, awkward smile stretched across Iruka's face. "Well, haha, after all, Konoha is the number one Hidden Village. Teaching the younglings has always been our top priority.

"When you're about to graduate, you'll also have a chance to participate in this kind of practical training."

"Really? Can I blow up the school too?"

Young man, your thoughts are dangerous! Besides, as a civilian, you'd be lucky to master the three basic jutsu, let alone learning school-bombing techniques!

Iruka didn't dare let the children continue this line of questioning. 

He had to divert their attention quickly.

That's it!

"Alright class, let's play a game, a talent show! Which student would like to come up and show off their skills?"

To ease the students' anxiety, divert their attention, and fulfill the mission assigned by the village, organizing a lively activity was a great idea. 

Iruka mentally patted himself on the back. He was truly born to be a teacher.

"Excuse me, Teacher. I'm a sixth-grade student. We're a little short on wooden kunai for our practical training. Could we borrow some?" A clear voice suddenly called out.

Everyone looked towards the door to see an older girl with long black hair standing hesitantly outside.

"Certainly, we have plenty of practice tools here. Please wait a moment, students." Iruka said, stepping out of the classroom.

He led the girl towards the equipment room. 

As they reached a corner, Iruka, who was a step ahead, swiftly drew a kunai and pressed it against the girl's neck:

"Speak! Who are you, and what is your purpose?" Iruka demanded. "The older students' training exercise was just an excuse. They've long since gone home."

"My, you truly are a teacher, so vigilant. But Teacher, I mean no harm. I'm here to protect Sasuke." The girl with long, straight black hair smiled at Iruka, the two tomoe in her Sharingan slowly spinning.

"An Uchiha?" Iruka paused, then asked, "What's going on? Sasuke is under my watch..."

"Teacher, I may not be a match for you, but he is..." The girl interrupted, pointing towards the classroom.

From the shadows within, a man slowly emerged. A man with a three-tomoe Sharingan. Captain Uchiha Kurama, the leader of this mission.

Thud!

Facing an elite Uchiha Jonin, even the cautious Iruka was no match. He instantly fell prey to a genjutsu and lost consciousness.

"Izumi, take Sasuke back to the compound. I'll capture the Jinchuriki.

"I don't know why the defenses here are so weak, but there are a few super geniuses with strange abilities among those students.

"Our goal is to cripple the Hokage's faction. Try not to stir up trouble and attract the attention of the other powerful clans." Kurama instructed, using the Transformation Jutsu to disguise himself as Iruka.

"Yes, sir!" Izumi Uchiha nodded.

The two returned to the classroom door of the elite class. Kurama (transformed as Iruka) rubbed his cheeks, forcing out Iruka's trademark awkward smile.

Indeed, this troublesome class had gradually reshaped Iruka's smile. 

Even when facing an enemy, moments before losing consciousness, he couldn't help but form that same expression. 

The observant Uchiha had learned it perfectly!

Gently pushing open the classroom door, Kurama stepped inside.

"Whack!"

A chalkboard eraser suddenly flew towards his face.

Kurama instinctively deflected it.

However, the true attack, devoid of killing intent, came from above!

Whoosh!

"Thump!!!"

A bucket of powder rained down, covering Kurama's head completely, leaving only his chin and mouth exposed.

His lips twitched uncontrollably, making him look even more like Iruka.

"Hahaha! Welcome, Iruka-sensei!

"This is my talent show, Naruto Uzumaki style!"

The brats of the Academy...were truly detestable!!! 

Uncontrollable killing intent nearly erupted from him. 

And for the first time, Kurama felt genuine admiration for the Academy's teachers...
