Chapter 10: Shikai
Walking out of the Hokage building, Naruto glanced at the ninja beside him wearing a green vest, feeling a bit complicated: "Thank you, Iruka-sensei."
"Don't mention it," Iruka replied, giving him a thumbs-up, "It's because you're truly remarkable, Naruto."
"Why did you do it, Iruka-sensei?" Naruto asked, "You thought I made a mistake, didn't you?"
"Moreover..."
"Sensei, you know the rumors, that I am a demon fox."
Iruka's expression turned nostalgic: "A demon fox, huh..."
"Do you know, in fact, we are very similar."
"I am also an orphan. During my time at the ninja academy, I always did exaggerated, foolish things to get attention."
"But I was very miserable then. I couldn't help but cry every night in my empty room."
