Sakura searched her memory but still couldn't recall a teacher like that at the Ninja Academy. She muttered to herself, "Strange, do we know a teacher named Iruka?"
Sasuke also frowned as he sized up Iruka, completely baffled as to why Naruto valued this unfamiliar young ninja so much.
From the outside, the other party doesn't seem to have anything special about them.
Just as the two were wondering, Iruka's father, who was standing nearby, also asked in surprise, "Iruka, when did you meet Naruto? How come I've never heard you mention him before?"
"I...I actually..."
Iruka looked bewildered, completely baffled.
He has no chance to meet the Hokage's son, so he can't be considered familiar with him at all!
Iruka scratched his head, somewhat at a loss, and explained softly, "The Hokage's son, I usually have no chance to come into contact with him... I don't know why young master Naruto..."
Naruto was stunned when he heard this, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.
In my dream, Iruka-sensei was someone I didn't know at all?!
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Iruka's parents exchanged a glance, then exchanged a few pleasantries with Kakashi, respectfully bid farewell to Naruto, and left with Iruka.
After Iruka and his family disappeared around the street corner, Naruto was still standing there, stunned and unable to come to his senses.
Naruto stared blankly in the direction Iruka's family had left, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
In reality, Iruka-sensei, like herself, was a lonely orphan who had a very difficult childhood.
Even so, the teacher, who was always optimistic and cheerful, never gave up on him.
When everyone else disliked and avoided him, only Iruka-sensei would take the initiative to talk to him and take him to eat Ichiraku Ramen.
Even on the night he stole the Book of Seals, it was Iruka-sensei who risked his life to shield him from the deadly giant shuriken.
At that moment, Iruka-sensei's slender figure stood firmly in front of Naruto, and the huge shuriken was driven deep into his back.
Even on his deathbed, Iruka-sensei still managed to give Naruto a comforting smile...
Thinking of this, Naruto felt a pang of sadness.
Iruka-sensei was an important figure to him, but the Iruka-sensei in his dream had no interaction with him at all, which made Naruto unable to let go of it for a while.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
……
In the darkness, in a corner where no one was watching, Shigure took in everything.
"No wonder he'll be invited to Naruto's wedding as Naruto's 'father' in the future..." he thought to himself. "Iruka's importance in Naruto's heart is indeed extraordinary. He's only just appeared, yet he's already given such a considerable amount of emotional value."
Indeed, for many years, when everyone isolated Naruto, Iruka was the only teacher who trusted and protected him, and the first person to make Naruto feel warmth.
Chapter 63 Everyone in the dream is doing well.
in the audience.
Sakura, watching Naruto's bewildered expression on the screen, couldn't help but whisper, "Why is it that in our dream, we don't seem to recognize Iruka-sensei at all? Isn't the Iruka-sensei in our dream... our teacher?"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi glanced at Iruka beside him and said thoughtfully, "It seems... that's not the case."
Iruka took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging excitement and sorrow in his heart, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and choking out a bitter smile: "If my parents were still alive, I would probably have followed them to the front lines to carry out missions... I would never have had the chance to stay in the village and be a teacher."
After he finished speaking, the group looked at each other, and for a moment they all sighed.
in the screen.
Iruka and his parents chatted briefly with Kakashi and the others about the situation at the border before taking their leave.
Before leaving, Iruka politely nodded to Naruto, then turned and hurriedly left with his parents.
Naruto stood there blankly, watching the Iruka family's departing figures without saying a word, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
In real life, Iruka-sensei always understood and accompanied me, watching me grow up step by step.
It's fair to say that without Iruka-sensei, there might not be the Naruto Uzumaki we know today.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected. Emotional value +500!]
But then I thought, Iruka-sensei in the dream had parents by his side, so he must have grown up happily and never experienced the loneliness in reality.
Iruka-sensei must be very happy...
Isn't the life he has now exactly what Iruka-sensei has always hoped for?
Thinking about this, Naruto gradually calmed down.
He wiped away the tears that were about to spill from the corners of his eyes, and his previously downcast expression gradually eased, with a bright smile returning to his face.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected. Emotional value +500!]
"Naruto."
Kakashi noticed that Naruto was acting strangely, patted him on the shoulder with concern, and asked in confusion, "When did you meet Iruka? Logically speaking, Iruka's parents are stationed in the advance force all year round, and Iruka has been on missions with them since graduating from the Ninja Academy. You shouldn't have had the opportunity to meet him."
“Ah…this…” Naruto paused, speechless for a moment.
He couldn't very well tell Kakashi-sensei that the Iruka-sensei he knew was actually in the real world, could he?
The image of Iruka turning and leaving was still vivid in his mind.
That familiar figure gradually faded into the distance, eventually disappearing into the crowd.
Naruto grinned at Kakashi and said, "Haha, it's nothing! Actually, we're not that close, but it just feels really friendly!"
Seeing Naruto's expression change instantly, revealing a carefree smile, Sasuke couldn't help but lean closer, following his gaze in the direction Iruka's family had left. He raised an eyebrow suspiciously: "Really? I didn't sense any closeness between you and him at all."
Naruto chuckled dryly twice, offering no rebuttal.
Kakashi stroked his chin and said, "However, I heard that Iruka doesn't seem to like the bloody days on the front lines and is planning to return to Konoha to become a Jonin."
Naruto nodded slightly upon hearing this, thinking to himself: Sure enough, no matter which world he's in, Iruka-sensei is still Iruka-sensei.
As he was reflecting on this, a sudden thought struck him, and he realized something was wrong: "Wait, wait a minute! Kakashi-sensei, what did you just say?"
Naruto stared wide-eyed at Kakashi in shock, "A Jonin?!"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected. Emotional value +300!]
"Isn't Iruka-sensei always a Chunin?" Naruto blurted out, his mind filled with disbelief.
Sakura and Sasuke, who were standing nearby, both looked surprised upon hearing this.
Sakura blinked and asked curiously, "He looks like he's only in his early twenties, right? Is he a Jonin at such a young age?"
Sasuke crossed his arms and calmly analyzed, "Perhaps he's just a special Jonin."
“No, Iruka isn’t a special Jonin,” Kakashi said with a smile, shaking his head. “He’s a proper Jonin. After all, Iruka’s parents were very strong Jonin; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been selected for the advance team!”
“Eh——!!”
Upon hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but widen his eyes, open his mouth wide, and let out an exaggerated exclamation.
Iruka-sensei was a Jonin in the dream?
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
Just as Naruto was too shocked to speak, the surrounding scenery suddenly trembled slightly, and then the scene in front of him began to blur rapidly, like ripples on a lake.
In the audience, the huge light screen flickered twice and then gradually became transparent.
The surrounding dim theater space seemed to lose its support and quickly faded away...
As the dream ended, Shiyu, who was hiding behind the scenes, unconsciously smiled.
[This time, the dream-fulfilling recipient is: Naruto Uzumaki]

[Total Emotion Points Gain: 31600!]
[Current sentiment score balance: 182331 points!]
[Current Dream Fulfillment Level: 3 (236831/300000)]
Shi Yu looked at the soaring emotion value on the panel with satisfaction.
With the help of four audience members, the emotional value increased much faster.
At this rate, he should be able to advance to the next level of authority in about three more days.
The next morning.
Naruto woke up from his deep sleep, opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, the scene from his dream from the previous night still repeatedly replaying in his mind.
The moment he woke up from his dream, he vaguely thought he would hear his mother calling him to get up outside, just like in his dream, but the only sounds coming from the quiet little house were the birds chirping in the early morning.
This stark contrast made Naruto feel a tightness in his chest, and he couldn't help but sigh again.
After a long while, he slowly sat up and sighed softly.
Everyone in my dream was doing well...
Thinking about reality and then about his dream, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.
In that world, I grew up surrounded by love, with my parents still alive. Iruka-sensei also had parents by her side and always had a cheerful smile.
In reality, both he and Iruka-sensei had to endure the loneliness of losing a loved one...
That dreamlike, wonderful life is far too different from reality.
However, no matter how big the gap is between reality and dreams, he will never be discouraged!
Naruto clenched his fist tightly and made a silent vow in his heart.
One day, he will become a great Hokage like his father, and personally protect everyone in the village.
Only in this way can everyone in reality live the happy and wonderful life they dream of!
Naruto shook his head, trying his best to clear his mind, and jumped off the bed.
After a quick wash, he grabbed his everyday clothes and hurriedly changed, then devoured his breakfast in a few bites before excitedly starting to pack his bags.
Kakashi-sensei informed them yesterday that the team had a C-rank escort mission to carry out today!
