Naruto, starting with immortality, I'm going to buy up the ninja world!

Chapter 220 Naruto and Iruka

Just as the two were in shock, Mizuki took the shuriken from his back and threw it at Naruto.

"Die, you nine-tailed fox!"

A giant shuriken spun out and flew towards Naruto.

Naruto was stunned on the spot because he knew that Iruka's parents had died at the hands of Kurama.

"Watch out for Naruto!"

Seeing this, Iruka broke free of the kunai stuck in his body and clothes and lunged at Naruto.

He shielded Naruto in front of him, using his back to block the giant shuriken.

A corner of the massive shuriken pierced Iruka's back, drawing blood.

"Teacher Iruka!"

Naruto was somewhat surprised to see Iruka shield him from Mizuki's attack.

Didn't Iruka-sensei's parents sacrifice themselves because of the Nine-Tails? Indirectly speaking, Iruka-sensei's parents were also indirectly killed by him, so why would he help him withstand the attack?

"why?"

"Why so many questions? I'm your teacher, and you're my student. As a teacher, I should protect my student! Run, Naruto, go find other people to help!"

"Teacher Iruka!"

"Run!"

Despite the excruciating pain in his back, Iruka pulled out the giant shuriken and threw a smoke bomb onto the ground, instantly filling the air with smoke.

"Smoke bomb? Iruka, with your skill level, that's all you can do with such little tricks."

Mizuki was utterly disdainful of Iruka's actions and quickly spotted a fleeing figure and gave chase.

But he didn't notice that another, even more clumsy figure was running off in another direction.

A chase was unfolding in the woods, while outside the forest, ANBU ninjas surrounded the entire area.

"Kid, you can't escape! Prepare to die!"

Mizuki caught up with Naruto and kicked him away.

Naruto flew out and crashed into a tree trunk, instantly exploding into a cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared, Mizuki realized that the person he had chased was not that brat Naruto.

It was Iruka who, from the very beginning, used the effect of smoke to transform into Naruto and lure him away.

At this moment, the real Naruto has probably already escaped with the Scroll of Seals.

"Iruka, you despicable bastard, you're asking for death!"

Shuimu was annoyed to find herself deceived.

"Hehe, Mizuki, you will definitely fail. Turn back now and stop making mistakes. The Hokage will definitely forgive you."

"Enough! Shut up! Hokage, Hokage, Hokage! All you guys know is Hokage. Hiruzen Sarutobi is old, Konoha is decaying, there's no point in you staying here any longer."

"I'm going to leave this place with the Book of Seals and follow Lord Orochimaru. Only then can I distance myself from you corrupt lot!"

"You won't succeed. Naruto will definitely bring the Scroll of Seals back to the Hokage."

"Shut up! He's just a useless brat. Let me deal with you first, then I'll deal with him! Die!"

Mizuki's murderous intent surged; he truly intended to kill Iruka.

Is this the end?

Iruka closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.

Just as Mizuki approached Iruka, a blur of motion shot out and delivered a knee strike to Mizuki's face. Caught off guard, Mizuki was sent flying, rolling twice on the ground before coming to a stop.

"Naruto!"

Upon realizing what had happened, Iruka looked up at what was unfolding before him and was immediately shocked.

"Pretty impressive, kid."

Shui Mu got up, not annoyed at all, but finding things to be interesting.

Naruto placed the Scroll of Seals beside him, lowered his head, and stared at Mizuki with an unfriendly gaze.

"You are not allowed to lay a hand on Iruka-sensei, or I will kill you!"

"Stop joking! You brat, I'll take you down in one move!"

"Then you try it, you scumbag! I'll repay you a thousandfold!"

As he spoke, Naruto raised his hands, extending his ten fingers and middle fingers together to form a cross, creating a hand seal.

"If you can do it, then give it a try, you fox spirit!"

"Then let me show you, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Naruto activated the ninjutsu he had just learned from the Abundance Scroll.

In an instant, a large group of Narutos appeared in the entire forest and surrounded Mizuki.

Naruto was everywhere—on the ground, in the trees, in front, behind, to the left, and to the right.

Mizuki was stunned by what he saw. Could the Shadow Clone Technique really release so many clones?

Besides, isn't he just a kid? Where does he get so much chakra?

"I told you, I'll prove it to you!"

Narutos swarmed all over the mountainside, launching a righteous brawl.

Although Naruto's fighting strength is not strong, and Mizuki might be able to take on several of them by himself, he is definitely no match for the hordes of Narutos covering the mountains.

Naruto swarmed in and beat Mizuki black and blue.

By the time the farce ended, it was already daylight, and sunlight streamed into the woods.

Naruto helped Iruka up.

"Iruka-sensei, are you alright?"

"I am fine."

Iruka smiled at Naruto, then took off the Konoha headband that he usually wouldn't let Naruto touch and handed it to Naruto.

"Congratulations, Naruto, you've successfully graduated."

"Teacher Iruka!"

The sunlight shone on Iruka's slightly disheveled face, but Naruto thought Iruka looked incredibly handsome at that moment.

He was also very moved, finally, someone recognized him.

"Alright, to celebrate your graduation, I'll treat you to ramen!"

Inside the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi watched this scene with a satisfied smile.

"Well done, Iruka. This way, Naruto will have a very deep bond in Konoha. Not only that, but he will have even more bonds in Konoha in the future."

With that, he covered the crystal ball; there was no need to watch any further.

He took out his pipe, lit it, and took a few puffs. Then he took out a stack of documents from the drawer.

This is all information about the students graduating this time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took out Naruto's information from one pile, and then pulled out another document from another pile.

The photo pasted on that document was none other than that of the ANBU ninja Kakashi Hatake.

"Then, Kakashi will be Naruto's team leader."

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi took another puff of his cigarette.

Kakashi was once a student of Naruto's father, Minato Namikaze, and now Minato's students are mentoring his children.

As for Naruto's two teammates, Hiruzen Sarutobi spent a long time choosing from among a group of people before finally producing two documents.

One is Sakura Haruno. During his time at the Ninja Academy, Naruto liked this girl for a long period of time, but his feelings for her gradually changed.

The other is Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family.
