Hokage’s Strongest Teacher

"The age of ninjas is over."

After returning to Konoha, Iruka was called by Tsunade and Jiraiya to the former Hokage office, and now the "Konoha Headquarters Office", without any formalities of reunion after a long absence, Tsunade said straightforwardly.

"More than three months ago, Sasuke suddenly launched a world-wide ninjutsu, forcibly depriving almost all ninjas of their power. Although Naruto and the others found the headquarters of Sasuke’s organization, Naruto was defeated by Sasuke. He did not know his life or death. People can't resist Sasuke's power. They are still controlled by Sasuke. Since then, no one in the ninja world can stop Sasuke's actions. Now, the Gokage, including me, and Jiraiya have been famous for a long time. All of the ninjas completely lost their power and became ordinary people."

"Your students are really amazing. They directly subverted the ninja system in just one month."

After a pause, Jiraiya continued without sorrow or joy: "Thanks to him, strength is no longer the benchmark of personal value, and the sacrifice of ninjas is no longer needed to maintain peace in the village. In other words, for generations The era of peace pursued, with the end of the ninja era, has finally come completely."

"Is it."

Iruka raised the teacup, took a sip, and then held the teacup in this way, walked to the window sill, staring at the flow of people underneath which was obviously much less than before, with a calm expression on his face.

"The world's biggest problem has been solved, and it sounds like a thing to be happy about, but why can't I feel any joy at all in the two of you? Is it because you are reluctant to give up power?"

Tsunade shook his head and denied Iruka's problem, but did not explain. Instead, he pulled out a file from his desk, opened it and handed it to Iruka.

"Look at this first."

"what is this?"

Iruka took the file and took a look. The next moment, he was stunned, and as if expecting his normal reaction, Tsunade sighed and said gravely:

"List of Konoha Shinobi who committed suicide last month."

Looking at the hundreds of names on the form, Iruka frowned. Although they were all unfamiliar names, it did not mean that Iruka would be indifferent to them.

Jiraiya sighed and said with great regret:

"For some ninjas, Chakra and ninjutsu are their everything, the only reason to live, and they can’t use Chakra. If they lose their qualifications as ninjas, they are equivalent to losing their own existence, although Tsunade and I have long lived. At the age of pursuing those things, even if they lose their power, they will only feel a little emotional, but they are different, they suddenly lose their dreams, and it is natural for them to do stupid things under extremely confused conditions."

"Is it......"

Iruka put down the file, her expression a little complicated.

"This is just one of the many problems in the era created by Uchiha Sasuke. Other problems such as the stay and employment of the original ninja after the disintegration of Ninja Village, the system of various countries, and the commercial system are becoming more and more serious. Although Uchiha Sasuke can use Absolute power puts an end to all darkness, but his power cannot shorten the distance between people and each other's hearts. If this status quo develops..."

Click!

Iruka put the teacup on the window sill and interrupted before Tsunade’s words were finished. “There are two possibilities. One is that although the world does not have any darkness, it will not have any color. It will only be in more and more blank substances. In the spirit and spirit, step into decline; the other is to overcome all difficulties, as time goes by, slowly heal the wound, and finally usher in a new life, and no matter what the result, the world will completely step into peace. The only difference is the form of peace."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya and Tsunade nodded at the same time.

"Is that what you focused on cultivating Sasuke?"

"That's it."

Iruka shrugged and put the form back on the desk, her expression regained as relaxed as before.

"The new era is full of uncertainty. Even I don’t know whether the era created by Sasuke is good or bad. I don’t even know if this is the final appearance of the era. The future is full of uncertainty. I am just an observer. Although I am in this world, I will not use my own will to influence the future of this world. I will only see with my own eyes, so don’t expect me to change the status quo. That’s absolutely impossible. , Even if Sasuke's actions will make the world riddled with holes, or even fall into an abyss that will never be restored, I will not stop him."

Without waiting for Jiraiya and Tsunade to say why they were so eager to find themselves, Iruka directly expressed his attitude. After hearing his words, they were not surprised at all on their faces, but with an expression of "it is true".

"Is there no room for negotiation?"

"No."

Iruka replied decisively, and then said: "I can't do anything to my students. This is the trust I should have in my students. I believe they can perfectly complete the tasks I entrusted to them. In the end, At the end, hand me an answer sheet that satisfies me."

Noting that Iruka's words did not only mention Sasuke, who has become the "protagonist" of this era, Jiraiya frowned.

"Are you still looking forward to Naruto? Although he is only missing, he hasn't returned to the village yet, I'm afraid..."

"The result hasn't come out yet, and everything is still full of variables. It's too early to conclude. Naruto is a child who can often bring me "surprise". I will always look forward to that child's activity until I am sure that the dust settles. "

With these words, Iruka left. He and Jiraiya are not particularly acquainted. At least he hasn’t gotten acquainted with Jiraiya to the point where he would entertain guests and drink tea when he meets on the road. He has no interest in Tsunade, a grandmother who is more than fifty. Even if they haven't seen each other for a few months, he has nothing to talk with them.

Unlike ordinary ninjas, even if Sasuke's technique that covers the entire world will always run automatically, Iruka will not be affected at all, so when Iruka uses the Body Flicker Technique to leave, absolutely no one in the entire world can stop him.

"Oh, it seems we can only wait for the final result quietly."

Jiraiya shook his head, looking helpless.

........................

After leaving the Konoha General Administration office, Iruka did not rush back to the teacher's apartment, which had become deserted, but instead used his abilities and flew towards the land of Thunder.

With his current strength, in less than half a minute, he appeared in the sky above a certain mountain peak in the Kingdom of Thunder, and the moment he appeared, he stood on the top of the peak, with black hair standing straight against the violent cold wind of the mountain. The boy suddenly raised his head, his eyes that had lost focus gradually returned to the look that a person should have.

"Ms. Iruka, you are here."

"Ah......"

Iruka was not surprised that Sasuke was able to perceive his existence instantly. It would be strange if he could not perceive him. After a chuckle, Iruka's figure flashed and appeared in front of Sasuke instantly.

"Long time no see, Sasuke."
