Naruto: After traveling through time, I became the disciple of the first generation

"Very good, it seems that Hongri will take over your father's position in the future. I am very happy that Konoha Village has fresh blood like you."

Hong was naturally very happy to receive encouragement from Feng, but Iruka in the corner lowered his head silently.

He is older than Hong, but he was promoted to Chunin not long ago. Among the children of these uncles, he is the oldest and also the weakest.

"Iruka, I heard you were planning on becoming a teacher?"

When Iruka heard Tofu calling his name, he immediately stood up and answered, "Yes, Uncle Tofu."

He scratched his head a little awkwardly: "My talent is not very good. I guess I will only be a jonin for the rest of my life. I don't have any strengths in combat."

"But I'm good at studying, so..."

Qu Feng immediately encouraged him upon hearing this: "This is a very good thing. Who says you have to be a ninja to be excellent? As long as you find a career you want to do and work hard for it, you will be excellent."

When these words were spoken, both Iruka and Kosuke were a little surprised.

Konoha Village has always believed that strength is supreme. The strong will be respected, while the weak will receive less attention.

After all, Konoha Village produced two ninja gods. Under the influence of this spirit, the villagers will compete intentionally or unintentionally.

Strength naturally became an important part of the competition, so the ninjas of Konoha Village respected strength to an extremely high level.

Even Hong didn't think highly of Iruka, she just maintained basic courtesy towards him out of relationship with him as their father.

After all, their future life trajectories will not have much contact.

A ninja of Iruka's strength would probably remain as a Chunin or Jonin for the rest of his life, and would never be able to enter the core ninja circle of Konoha Village.

That's why Qu Feng's words surprised everyone.

"Uncle Qufeng, I!" Iruka was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

Ever since he realized that his talent as a ninja was not particularly good, he had been prepared to endure the cold eyes of his family and society.

This was indeed the case. Almost no one treated him well. Besides, their Kaino clan was just a small family, so no one would look favorably upon him.

Apart from the role of the father Umino who is somewhat famous, the rest are just unknown and no one cares about them at all.

And now, Uncle Qufeng actually gave him encouragement, which made Iruka ecstatic.

This was the first time he received evaluation and encouragement from a big shot of such a high status.

"Iruka, don't get so excited. There is no doubt that you are not talented enough in ninja, but that doesn't mean everything. You still have your own shining points, but you just haven't found them yet."

"You like to learn and teach. If you are willing to work hard on this path, you may achieve great success."

This was the case with the former principal of the ninja school, Sarutobi Mizuya's teacher.

Although his strength is in the middle of the Konoha Village, he has been exploring in teaching and has cultivated many famous figures in the Konoha Village today.

With praise from everyone, this achievement is undoubtedly very high.

"Uncle Qufeng, I will! I like the direction I have chosen now. I will definitely work hard to stick to it and strive to become someone like Principal Sarutobi Mizuya!"

After hearing Iruka's speech, Qufeng immediately applauded him: "Very good, you have ambition."

"When Mizuya-sensei taught us, he was just a different teacher. He didn't have any special features, and he didn't have much say in the Sarutobi clan."

"And now? Look at his current status."

Although he has retired, among the Sarutobi clan, apart from the patriarch Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sarutobi Mizuya has the most say.

Qu Feng's passionate speech shocked Gu Jie and others.

Especially Ikkaku, he originally planned to bring Iruka out to see the world, but he usually stayed at home studying and didn't learn anything remarkable.

As a result, Yijiao was surprised to receive such a high evaluation from Qufeng today.

"Qufeng, is Iruka really as good as you say?"

Gu Jie asked quietly.

It’s not that he looks down on Iruka. He is his brother’s son, and there is no difference between him and his own son.

The main reason was that he was afraid that if Iruka didn't achieve anything in the future, Tofu's words would make him even more ashamed in Konoha Village.

"Don't worry, Iruka will only be better than I said, not worse."

Then Qu Feng looked at his old friends, Hong and Iruka and said seriously: "Although Konoha Village respects the strong, in addition to strength, other abilities should not be ignored."

"Don't define a person as useless just because he has no ninja talent. Amado's ninja talent is not good. He doesn't even have the title of Jonin yet. But is he useless?"

After these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. If Amado was a waste, then there would be few people in Konoha Village who could be considered normal people.

This is a great inventor who changed the entire ninja world. Everyone who meets him must show respect to him.

"In order to change the situation in Konoha Village and keep it within a reasonable range so that it doesn't continue to deteriorate, I'm planning to build an art school."

Qufeng explained the purpose of the art school and its main teaching direction to a few people, and everyone thought it was a good idea.

"In the eyes of you old guys, those without talent are almost hopeless, but they can still shine in another way, which is far better than becoming a ninja."

Of course, the one who listened the most among the few was Ikkaku, who had always been bitter and annoyed about his son's poor ninja talent.

After listening to Qu Feng's words today, he suddenly became enlightened.

As for Zhenhong and Gujie, they also listened and expressed their approval of what Qufeng said.

It’s just that they are not anxious about their children’s talents. After all, they are two little genius ninjas, so they don’t have to worry about this issue at all.

"Remember in the future, don't use your ninja talent to nail down a child's future, understand?"

"Okay, okay, I get it. This lecture is so sermonizing that if you don't know, you would think it's Teacher Mizuya."

Gu Jie's joke made everyone laugh, and they didn't mind, because they had been with Qu Feng for a long time and knew each other's temperament and character.

"Okay, Iruka, stop standing. Sit down and study hard. You are old enough now. You will go to the Ninja School for internship tomorrow. Hurry and gain experience."

"Yes! Uncle Qufeng!"
