Chapter 53 Naruto: They Are All Very Useful Guys

On the podium, Iruka was in a complicated mood. He looked at Naruto in the distance and said, "Naruto Uzumaki, don't you come up and introduce yourself?"

Naruto Uzumaki?

"He, he is the one?!"

Some students were stunned when they heard the words, and looked back at Naruto with surprised expressions, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Amid the whispers, Naruto walked up to the podium step by step with a gentle smile.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I hate being ignored and I hate the feeling of being powerless."

Facing those curious and surprised classmates, his blue eyes seemed to be shining, looking directly into everyone's eyes.

"I like to learn knowledge, like to explore the unknown, and enjoy the process of being recognized by others, so I hope to become friends with everyone and get everyone's recognition."

"As for my dream..."

Naruto lowered his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "I want to be a great ninja like the Fourth Hokage, and turn into flames like him, illuminating Konoha and warming everyone."

After speaking, Naruto nodded politely to Iruka, and then walked down the podium with an upright posture.

The students were slightly stunned, but their eyes followed Naruto closely until he returned to his seat.

Turn into flames, illuminate Konoha, and warm everyone?

His tone was very gentle, and he did not say any lofty dreams such as becoming a Hokage.

But it made everyone feel a strong sense of conviction.

It was as if he would definitely realize his dream and become a ninja like the Fourth Hokage.

"Mom said to keep me away from that."

"My mom also said, but..."

They could not connect Naruto, who had a gentle smile and mature temperament, with the man-eating monster in his parents' mouths.

On the podium, Iruka looked at Naruto's back and his heart trembled.

Is this really a five or six-year-old child?

He naturally knew how Naruto was treated in the village.

The ugly faces and vicious curses of those people made even him, a ninja, feel a chill involuntarily.

"Is it really right to treat a child like this?"

Although he thought about it more than once, he also resented Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and understood the painstaking efforts of the Third Generation.

And even in such a malicious environment, Naruto, who was feared and resented by countless people, still maintained such a warm smile and was able to maintain such a high level of ideological awareness.

He is simply an extremely determined inheritor of the will of fire.

In such a comparison, Iruka felt like a real "monster".

Iruka's heart was full of mixed feelings, and then he made up his mind.

No matter how sensitive Naruto's identity is, at least he is his teacher and should face him with a fair attitude.

And Naruto walked all the way back to his seat and heard countless students whispering.

If the look in the boy's eyes when he looked at him was a bit of curiosity in hostility.

Then the look in the girl's eyes when he looked at him was a bit of goodwill in curiosity.

Naruto was thinking a lot, and after sitting down in his seat.

Iruka also distributed textbooks, and the following courses were very boring, and they were all about very basic theoretical knowledge.

Very practical wilderness survival skills, but not very useful for Naruto who already had experience in wilderness life.

In addition to this knowledge, Iruka also taught about the Will of Fire, and this subject accounted for a high proportion of the theoretical score.

However, Menma had taught Naruto a long time ago, and he taught more deeply and more completely than Iruka.

Naruto has long been familiar with the so-called Will of Fire, and can even write a more complete sequel to the Will of Fire.

There are also some uses, types, pros and cons of ninja tools, and ways to make hand seals...

"Make hand seals?"

The voice of the Nine-Tails sounded in Naruto's head, and he said with some disdain: "Who would make hand seals? Isn't it just clapping your hands and you get what you want?"

The smile on Naruto's face almost didn't hold back.

Some classmates began to take the initiative to come forward and chat with Naruto.

They all came from large and small families in Konoha. Their families didn't instill in them the idea that Naruto was a monster, so they naturally didn't have the fear of Naruto that ordinary civilians had.

On the contrary, they just thought Naruto was very interesting and a good candidate for making friends.

"Naruto, my name is Akimichi Choji, crunch, crunch..." Choji came over with a bag of potato chips.

After hesitating for a moment, he stuffed a handful of potato chips into his mouth and handed the bag to Naruto.

"Here you go."

Looking at the greasy hands in front of him, Naruto didn't show any strangeness, and still smiled gently: "Thank you."

Then he naturally took out three or four chips from the bag of potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth in front of Choji.

Although Choji felt a little distressed when he saw this, he still smiled foolishly on his chubby face.

Another boy with a red inverted triangle facial pattern on his cheek came over, with a somewhat arrogant expression: "My name is Inuzuka Kiba, and this is my friend Akamaru."

"Woof woof!"

The ninja dog above his head barked as if in agreement.

"Can I touch Akamaru?"

Naruto saw Inuzuka Kiba nod, then reached out and touched Akamaru's furry head, praising him with envy: "Akamaru is very cute, I also want to have a partner like this."

Inuzuka Kiba's expression was a little satisfied, and he scratched Akamaru's chin and said: "Hehe, right, right."

Just then, Haruno Sakura on the other side couldn't sit still.

Although she liked handsome guys like Sasuke, she didn't want to be excluded by her friends.

After taking a last look at Sasuke, she reluctantly walked towards Naruto.

"Naruto, my name is Haruno Sakura, I hope we can be good friends."

Seeing this, Ino next to him immediately looked like a puppy guarding its food, and smiled as she came to Naruto and said, "My name is Yamanaka Ino. Although I've already said it, you must remember this name."

Compared to the seemingly shy Sakura, Ino is more enthusiastic and generous.

"Sakura and Ino? I'll remember it in my heart." Naruto said gently with a smile.

Hearing Naruto's words, Ino was even happier, and Sakura was shy on the surface, but in fact, her inner personality was completely overjoyed.

Choji also pushed Shikamaru who was lying dead beside him: "Hey! Shikamaru, don't sleep!"

"Tsk, trouble."

Although the pineapple head muttered, he still straightened up and came over: "Hello Naruto, my name is Nara Shikamaru."

"Hello."

Gradually, a circle of students surrounded Naruto.

Naruto also had a preliminary understanding of them.

After the initial contact, there were a few people who were worth "making friends with".

Naruto was very optimistic about Nara Shikamaru. He felt that although Nara Shikamaru was lazy, his IQ should be very high.

This kind of guy can often see the essence of things.

Of course, he is also better at keeping himself safe.

Presumably, the core of the three tribes of Pig, Deer and Chow is the Nara tribe.

Akimichi Choji is not bad either. Although he is a little greedy and sloppy, he also values ​​friends and has a relatively honest temperament.

And Yamanaka Ino seems to have no major problems except that she is a little crazy about flowers.

"They are all very useful guys."

Naruto thought so, but he always felt an inexplicable puzzlement in his heart.

"I seem to have forgotten something?"
