…
“Hinata, I didn’t sleep well last night. Could you help me make a set of notes?”
“Eh?”
Hinata was stunned on the spot, but Naruto didn’t care about any of that.
He immediately closed his eyes.
Hinata opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say anything and silently brought the notebook in front of herself.
Iruka was currently facing away from the students and writing on the blackboard.
Just as he turned around, he immediately saw Naruto lying on his desk and sleeping soundly.
He was instantly so angry that his face twisted, and the chalk in his hand was snapped in two.
“Uzumaki Naruto!”
Iruka let out an angry roar while throwing the broken pieces of chalk at Naruto.
Hinata instinctively shrank her neck.
The two pieces of chalk struck Naruto directly on the head, but Naruto didn’t react at all and continued sleeping soundly.
Iruka’s mouth twitched in anger as he walked toward Naruto step by step.
The other students in the classroom were all terrified and didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
“N-Naruto-kun…”
Hinata anxiously pushed Naruto lightly, but before she could do anything else, Iruka had already arrived.
Bang!
Iruka slammed his palm heavily onto Naruto’s desk, producing a loud sound.
The noise was like thunder in Naruto’s ears, instantly waking him up.
“Ah! W-what happened? An earthquake?”
“You! Get to the doorway and stand there as punishment!”
Iruka shouted at Naruto angrily, his saliva almost spraying onto Naruto’s face.
His furious appearance frightened Naruto so much that he shuddered.
He had guessed that Iruka would get angry, but he hadn’t expected such a huge reaction.
“Iruka-sensei, I…”
“Get out!”
“Ah… ah!”
Naruto was startled again and didn’t dare waste any time.
He immediately stood up and ran to the classroom doorway to stand there as punishment.
The moment Naruto left the classroom, Iruka immediately adjusted his emotions.
His tone became calm and gentle, as though nothing had happened just now.
“Alright, everyone. Now, look at the blackboard. This Transformation Jutsu is…”
Naruto leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.
Listening to Iruka’s voice from inside, he felt especially puzzled.
Tsk~~ Something’s not right.
How can Iruka be this angry?
He kicked me out over such a small matter.
Could he have been dumped?
Come to think of it, has this guy ever been in love?
Naruto began searching through his memories to see whether Iruka had ever been in a relationship, but after searching for quite some time without finding anything, he simply stopped bothering with it and continued sleeping against the wall.
The class bell rang, and Naruto was already fast asleep.
Because Naruto had set such a precedent, the other students had been extremely serious throughout the entire class, and classroom discipline was very good.
Iruka was extremely satisfied.
However, the moment he walked out of the classroom, he saw Naruto sleeping soundly, and his good mood instantly shattered.
“Uzumaki Naruto!”
Iruka once again roared angrily at Naruto.
The other students who had originally been preparing to leave immediately shrank their necks and returned, with not a single person daring to court trouble at this moment.
Naruto, who was sleeping, was also awakened by the roar.
However, the first thing he focused on wasn’t Iruka, but the students coming out of the other classrooms.
“Eh? Class is already over? Ah, Iruka-sensei, since class is over, I’ll go inside first.”
Iruka’s face turned bright red with anger.
He had been a teacher for several years, but he had never encountered a student as outrageous as Naruto.
Fortunately, he was still young.
If someone in their seventies or eighties had come across a student like this, they would probably already have needed an oxygen tank.
“Stop right there! Didn’t I tell you to stand there as punishment? What are you doing!”
“Huh? I am standing here as punishment. I haven’t squatted down from beginning to end. Why are you so angry? Getting angry can easily cause high blood pressure. That’s not good.”
“You… you! After school, go to my office! I’m going to test you on the theory of the Transformation Jutsu. If you don’t pass, don’t even think about going home!”
Iruka shouted furiously.
His expression looked as though he wanted to tear Naruto apart on the spot.
However, these words sounded like heavenly music to Naruto’s ears, making him suddenly enlightened.
He excitedly grabbed Iruka’s hand.
“Iruka-sensei!”
“Hmph! It’s too late to regret it now. Even if you…”
“Iruka-sensei! You’re simply a genius!”
Iruka was dumbfounded on the spot.
At first, he thought Naruto had grabbed his hand because he was frightened and wanted to beg for mercy.
He hadn’t expected to receive flattery instead.
“W-what?”
Naruto didn’t care whether Iruka was dumbfounded or not.
Staying at school!
This was staying at school!
If he could stay at school every day, wouldn’t that mean he wouldn’t have to train with Kakashi?
Wouldn’t that mean he could live a good life every day?
The more Naruto thought about it, the more excited he became.
The only reason he didn’t want to hug Iruka and give him a couple of hard kisses was because Iruka was a man.
“Iruka-sensei!
You absolutely must fulfill your responsibilities as a teacher!
You have to keep me here until tonight.
No!
It would be best if you kept me here until tomorrow!
How about this?
Keep me here every day.
I’ll just sleep on the floor in your office.
Don’t worry, I definitely won’t trouble you.
As long as you agree, I promise I’ll be disciplined.
From now on, I’ll ask for your permission in advance before leaving the school.
What do you think?”
Iruka looked at Naruto’s expectant expression, his mouth hanging wide open as he remained stunned for a long time.
When he finally recovered, the way he looked at Naruto had also changed.
“Naruto, you… did you sleep yourself stupid?”
“No, I am…”
“Alright, perhaps my tone was too harsh just now. Go inside first. Make sure you listen carefully in the next class.”
Iruka shook off Naruto’s hand and walked away in large strides, but Naruto became anxious.
“Hey! Hey! Iruka-sensei! Don’t leave! I’m serious! Think about it! I won’t stay for free! I can organize your office for free, and I can grade homework too! Iruka-sensei!”
Hearing the shouting behind him, Iruka not only didn’t stop, but instead quickened his pace.
At the same time, he couldn’t help reflecting inwardly.
Was his attitude toward the new students too strict?
Did he need to correct it in the future?
Naruto watched helplessly as Iruka entered the office and let out a long sigh, his face full of regret.
But there was nothing he could do, so he could only return to the classroom.
When the students in the classroom saw Naruto looking like this, they all assumed that he was like this because he had been punished.
Some whispered among themselves, while others made jokes about him.
Naruto didn’t care about any of it.
He casually returned to his seat, and the moment he sat down, Hinata pushed the notebook over to him.
“Naruto-kun, this is your notebook. Um… are you alright?”
“Hm? Oh! Thanks. I’m fine. I’m just a little disappointed.”
“I see? It’s good that you’re alright.”
Hinata avoided Naruto’s gaze from beginning to end, not daring to look him in the eye.
Naruto was already used to this.
He casually opened the notebook, and it was filled with neat notes.
Occasionally, there were little cat-head drawings made with a pen between the lines, clearly drawn because she had made a mistake while writing.
