“I would really like that, Iruka-sensei.” I reply with a low tone as I pull myself together. Is this real life? Is he trying to pull a joke on me? No, no, he’s too kind for that.ĭoes he actually want to go out with me? I think I’m about to faint. “Now that we both have been exposed by our kids… I was thinking that maybe we could grab dinner after Mizu’s lessons… if you want of course.” My sister shakes her head frantically at my threatening eyes. “Don’t play dirty or I’ll tell Hako you like his bunny teeth.” I whisper only for her to hear. “Please be nice, Mizu.” I say as I take her hands and pull her to me. “Okay then, I think two hours would be enough.”Īwkwardly, I nod before ducking to kiss Mizu’s forehead. “And I have some stuff to take care of, maybe next time.” “I don’t want to intrude.” I just want to run away and eat my feelings. “You could stay… I mean most parents do.” “I should get going, what time should I pick her up?” I intervene on Mizu’s speech, eager to run home and eat dango while crying out my embarrassment from earlier. In response, Mizu nods vigorously and starts rambling on how she’s gonna beat everyone and learn every jutsu there ever existed and… oh! how she’s gonna learn to summon a red giant scary dragon. I’ve always admired his patience with children, I hope Mizu’s not a handful. “It’s nice to meet you, Mizu, and yes I am a ninja.” Iruka says with a warm smile while shaking Mizu’s hand with such seriousness as if he was shaking the Hokage’s. She takes a step forward and reaches out for Iruka’s hand. Iruka smiles politely and I soften my grip on Mizu. “This is Iruka-sensei and you are going to behave well.” “She’s kidding, she’s a very imaginative girl.” Pathetically, I try to excuse myself. I wrap my arms around Mizu, covering her mouth with my hand. Iruka’s eyes widen, his cheeks inked with a red hue. “Oh! He’s the man you’re always drawing! The one with a scar in his nose!” Mizu screams excited, instantly my face gets all flustered, even the tips of my ears are burning. Our eyes meet and he waves cheerfully as he starts walking our way. But the spark on her eyes when she talks about her dreams, about how she’ll be the first ninja in our family, is too much to handle for my fragile heart and I know I’ll support her in any way I can.Īs we turn the corner to the training grounds, I spot Iruka holding a book near a tree. Maybe I shouldn’t even let her take the Academy test, after all the life of a shinobi is tough and dangerous. Our parents passed away a few years ago and sometimes I’m afraid I’m not good enough at this big-sister-mom thing. I roll my eyes at her and she sticks out her tongue playfully. “What if I got lost?” she replies swaying her lashes, trying to sound innocent. “You know the path perfectly well, you didn’t need me to come.” See you tomorrow, Iruka-sensei, goodbye Naruto.” I blurt before hurrying outside Ichiraku. “It was a joke! Iruka-sensei is always nice! He is, I swear!” the blonde boy cries as he tries to shake Iruka’s grasp off his shoulder. My heart starts racing and my cheeks flush bright red.
“Maaa, you are only this nice when Y/n is around.” Iruka gasps and places a hand on Naruto’s shoulder, squeezing it. “Can I get another bowl of ramen?” Naruto interrupts, looking at Iruka with puppy eyes. You’re the best, Iruka-sensei.” He nods slowly. “We could meet at the training grounds tomorrow, is that good?” Truth be told, I’ve always liked Iruka but I don’t think he has ever seen me as a potential love interest. “She is, we both are.” I chuckle trying to sound cool and casual and not like I’m totally freaking out (because I am).

“I meant, if your sister is free,” he clarifies, the skin beneath his scar tinted with red.
#Iruka sensei free
Are you free on the evenings?” we both get slightly flustered at the implications of his question. “I would pay for the lessons, of course.” “The thing is my little sister wants to take the Academy exam next year and I was wondering if you would consider being her mentor,” I ask shyly. “Actually, I wanted to ask you a favor, Iruka-sensei.”
#Iruka sensei full
Naruto smiles at me with his mouth full of ramen, Iruka offers me a short smile. “Iruka-sensei, Naruto! I’m so glad I bumped into you.”
