Naruto: Six Paths Iruka

"We are not going to continue investigating the Kingdom of Whirlpool," Tenzo asked before leaving.

"No more investigation," Iruka said, "There is nothing to investigate. Looking at the situation in the Country of Whirlpool, is there any mission that might be released?"

"That's right," Tenzo said. "Without Uzushio Village, no one would care about this place. After all, there is no money to be squeezed out, and even the gangs are too lazy to come. Which country should we go to next, the Kingdom of Yu or the Kingdom of Iron? "

"No, let's go to the Country of Waves first," Iruka said. "But I'm not going to investigate. I'm just staying close and visiting acquaintances."

It took the four of them a few more days to walk along the coastline to the First Friendship Bridge.The last banner welcoming the Konoha Support Group was still hanging on the bridge, and the flowers on the railings had withered, but no one cleaned them up.

"Are you sure the only ones coming to support are chunin and genin?" Iruka asked Tenzo.

Tianzang: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Iruka: "It's okay, I'm afraid I'll meet Maitekai."

Tianzang: "Then you should be a little more careful. The Kingdom of Nami has always entrusted Konoha with missions recently. It is not ruled out that Maitekai will also come. Look, that is Kurenai Yuhi coming."

"Yuhi Kurenai" Iruka looked over. It was really Yuhi Kurenai walking over with five genin. Fortunately, it was not Metkai.

"Hello," Yuhi Kurenai recognized Iruka, "Why are you dressed like this? Are you here to perform some mission to suppress bandits or to catch thieves? These three people look so familiar."

Iruka was afraid that she would ask more questions, so he quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm on other missions. I'm passing by to have a look. Why, why did you bring five genin with you?" He greeted the five people one by one, except for the original Kiba and Shino. , the replacement Sakura, and Neji and Tenten.

"Ningci and Tiantian are free, so we brought them here together." Yuhihong said, "We are going to the depths of the island to deal with a group of pirates. See you later."

Yuhi Kurenai took the first step with five genin, while the four Irukas strolled slowly. This wave country is much better than the last time we escorted Dazna here. Fishing nets are hanging out in front of every house, hanging with the catches they caught from the sea. The children were running and playing on the trestle without worrying about safety issues. Some children had even begun to imitate the ninja seals.

Thinking that all of this was due to him, Iruka had a knowing smile on his face.With the power of the Six Paths, I will be the savior of this worldview sooner or later, but before that, I am very proud to do some small things to fundamentally change the poverty situation of some small countries.

World peace will never be achieved, Iruka thought, but it is better to allow small countries to have a certain degree of resistance, to preserve themselves in the expansion and conquest of big countries, and to maintain a certain strategic balance than to become victims. Just like the Ame Hidden Village with Nagato, and the Iron Country with Mifune, no one dares to touch them easily.

His main purpose of this trip is to visit Jiraiya and Tsunade, and at the same time see the situation of the real protagonist Naruto Sasuke here.Although they came to construct Namikage Village, after finishing their daily chores, they didn't run out of time to learn a few tricks from Jiraiya and Tsunade.

In the newly built ninja school, the ninja supported by Konoha is teaching the students here.Sasuke was practicing gymnastics with another class on the playground, and Naruto made "bang" sounds from time to time, disrupting everyone's attention.

"Stop playing," Sasuke said impatiently, "I'll teach three more, and then I'll switch to you."

"Understood," Naruto blew up another balloon and squeezed it in his hand, "You work hard." Then he continued to practice keeping the chakra inside the balloon.

"Hey, this kid," Iruka stood outside the wall and watched, "he hasn't broken through the third stage yet."

A voice appeared behind them: "Isn't this Iruka? Why are you dressed like this?"

Iruka turned around and saw that it was Zabuza: "You are such a busy person, you actually have time to hang out here."

Zabuzhan: "I am concurrently the principal, so I naturally want to take a look. No matter how busy you are, the next generation's affairs are always the most important."

Iruka: "How about the new ninja village has been built? It feels like the Land of Waves has changed a lot."

"Of course," Zabuza said triumphantly, "before Shiro and I, together with Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama, spent a month exterminating all the bandits in the Land of Waves, and finally convinced the daimyo here Establish a ninja village. In order to ensure the safety of the fishermen and the smooth flow of the shipping routes, we were fighting pirates during this period, and the four of us really couldn’t do so many things, so in the end we hired Konoha ninjas with the village’s budget.”

Iruka stared at Zabuza's head: "You forehead protector"

"Ah ha ha ha..." Zabuza said awkwardly, "The budget is not enough, so I picked up old forehead protectors, rubbed off the patterns on them, engraved new logos, and used them as they were."

He is really a man who saves resources and accomplishes great things. Iruka thought to himself. This is indeed a talent. If he had succeeded in assassinating Mizukage back then, maybe... No, it would be useless. Mizukage has been obedient for so many years. controlled by illusion. It happens that this place is very close to the Kingdom of Water. Why don't we just go there and pretend to investigate, and then report the matter of Mizukage being controlled?

"You take a stroll first," he said goodbye to him, "I'm going to do other things first."

"Walk slowly," the four of them said.

The four of them wandered around again and finally visited Jiraiya and Tsunade. Hinata was in their yard, catching insects for the flowers they raised. Her white eyes were particularly accurate in finding insects.

Iruka chatted with them for a while, and talked about the fact that the old man survived the battle with Orochimaru and let Kakashi take over.Jiraiya and Tsunade sighed for a while.

"Although we don't like the old man's style because of some things," Jiraiya said, "but I am still very relieved to hear you say that he is not dead yet. After all, he is still our mentor."

"Oh" Iruka has always wanted to know why Jiraiya and the others would rather live in seclusion in the Land of Waves than return to Konoha. What happened to this world view? It's time to ask, "What happened before that made you dislike it?" he."

"That happened during World War II," Jiraiya thought for a while before he said, "At that time, our people in Konoha suffered heavy losses. At one meeting, Tsunade proposed to incorporate a medical doctor into each four-member team. Ninja."

Well, of course Iruka knows about this. This is the beginning of the relationship between Tsunade and Kato Dan in the original work.

"I just came back from Yuyin Village," Jiraiya continued, "I didn't know the situation, but I heard what Tsunade said and thought it was right, so I expressed my support. There was another person who supported me at the meeting, it seems What is it called? He died in the battle. However, the old man rejected Tsunade’s proposal decisively. The last war left the village empty. After that, Tsunade was very dissatisfied with the old man’s ruling, so he The idea of ​​leaving came up. It just happened that Orochimaru was doing human experiments again, and he defected. I felt that it was meaningless to stay, so I followed Tsunade and left Konoha."

It turns out that this is the case. In the original work, Katozan supported Tsunade, so the two fell in love. But here, because Jiraiya came back in time, he and Tsunade got together.

"Jiraiya-sama, are you there?" A chuunin ran over, "Yuhi Kurenai-sama said that the pirates they were chasing were fleeing in different directions, and she needed more manpower to pursue her."

"Let's go too," Iruka stood up, "Anyway, they're here, so I'll do a little favor."
