Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　Leaving aside the previous generation, a notable example is Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage.

　Later came Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake, all legendary figures who left their mark on the entire Naruto series.

　And then there's Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke, and the twelve Konoha 2—all household names! While it's not as prosperous as it is in later years, as it hasn't been established for many years, it's already taking shape and showing signs of thriving.

　Furthermore, since the Third Hokage, ninja education has become a very important and valued component.

　Basically, all the clans in Konoha send their children of appropriate age to school for further education. For ordinary people in particular, attending school is a great honor.

　Compared to other ninja villages, the Konoha Ninja Academy is definitely a very gentle and high-quality school.

　Comparing all other things, consider this: graduates of the Hidden Mist Village Ninja Academy in the Land of Water, who also enforce the Blood Mist Policy, where only one graduate can survive per class—it's like raising a venomous insect.

　The same goes for Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure; it's either death or serious injury! They might not be training ninjas, but rather career assassins! The most famous example is the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, whose seven great swords roamed the ninja world.

　Then Might Guy kicked four 44s to death, and the rest of the ninjas were terrified, developing a psychological aversion to the green training uniforms worn by Konoha ninjas.

　Itachi Uchiha's first partner, Juzo Biwa, was one of the early members of Akatsuki, but he was extremely wary of this person and could never forget him.

　"Yo, Okamoto"

　Why didn't you go to welcome the village's heroes a few days ago? Maybe one of your students was there.

　A Chunin instructor was walking on the playground when he suddenly saw Okamoto standing there and couldn't help but smile.

　Chunin instructors are usually Chunin who have exhausted their potential and are unlikely to be promoted to Jonin. Okamoto was a Chunin instructor several years ago, and naturally he is still a Chunin instructor now.

　"Wait a minute, speaking of which, Lord Ye Chen, the name Konoha Rakshasa sounds familiar. You're a student in your class, aren't you? This is a great honor!"

　The Chunin teacher walked up to Okamoto, suddenly remembered something, and gave Okamoto an envious look.

　Three years ago, the ninja academy's system was relatively primitive. The entire school had only one official instructor, Okamoto, and several temporary substitute instructors were later transferred to the battlefield.

　Therefore, almost all the Konoha heroes who returned this time were Okamoto's students.

　Although the survival rate of genin is very low on the battlefield, there are always a few exceptional talents every year.

　Konoha Rasetsu is a prime example! And so is Minato Namikaze, who was about to be promoted to Jonin! Three years later, the Ninja Academy expanded, and many Chunin joined, but Okamoto was still quite envious.

　Okamoto, seeing the man's envious expression, remained calm, smiled, and said, "A teacher's role is to educate students; I haven't thought much about anything else."

　Seeing this, the Chunin instructor muttered a few more words and then walked away.

　Classes are starting soon, so I can't just loiter around outside.

　If the Hokage finds out, my salary will be docked.

　After the teacher left, Okamoto's face showed a strange expression.

　Konoha Rascal, Yoru! Is that his student? In Okamoto's memory, there has always been a very stubborn young man who doesn't believe in fate.

　年面

　(1/2)

　Three years ago, the face of that boy... who was persecuted by the Uchiha clan but fought desperately and refused to yield, was still vivid in his mind.

　He was just an ordinary teacher, no match for the Uchiha clan, and therefore unable to protect that child.

　Later, just like the Hokage suggested, the child was placed in the Anbu for protection.

　Later, Okamoto went to the battlefield, not expecting to return alive. However, he was lucky; his squad's mission wasn't difficult, and although they suffered some losses, they secretly withdrew from the Land of Rain the following year.

　Now he's back in Konoha as a mentor! As for Yoruichi, in Okamoto's mind, he's probably an ANBU ninja now, and he doesn't know his true identity! Konoha Rascal, Yoruichi! Perhaps it's just a coincidence of names! Okamoto doesn't believe that the ninja who roamed the Land of Rain... the one who struck fear into the hearts of enemy nations, is his student! He's already very happy to have produced a special Jonin, Namikaze Minato.

　As for Ye Chen, he only hoped that the child could live a good life.

　Qiu Xian felt quite guilty for not being able to protect Ye Chen, but there was nothing he could do. However, what if the infamous Konoha Rakshasa was really his student Ye Chen? Okamoto felt he was overthinking things, but he couldn't help but contemplate that possibility.

　He wandered aimlessly through the campus with his head down, and after walking for a while, he almost bumped into someone.

　Fortunately, he was a ninja and reacted just before the collision, managing to twist his body forcefully.

　He quickly apologized, "Uh, sorry, are you alright?"

　Okamoto looked up and immediately spotted two very familiar figures, momentarily stunned.

　Then, in the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened.

　He recognized the person in front of him—it was none other than his former student, Ye Chen! Three years, though neither short nor long, was enough for a young man to undergo earth-shattering changes.

　Okamoto recognized Ye Chen instantly; they were cut from the same cloth. Although Ye Chen was naturally cold, the stubbornness in his eyes was very familiar; he had never seen it in anyone else.

　Ye Chen's voice was indifferent, just like his cold personality: "Long time no see, Mr. Okamoto."

　"Ye Chen!"

　Okamoto looked at the student before him with mixed feelings, but mostly with surprise.

　"How did you end up here, and with Kushina too?"

　Okamoto knows Kushina, and isn't Yoruichi a member of the Anbu? How come he's appearing so openly? "Yoruichi just returned from the Land of Rain; not many people know. It's a secret, teacher."

　She's really amazing now.

　Kushina said this with a hint of pride, her pretty face beaming with joy.

　"Land of Rain"

　""

　"Ye Chen, aren't you in the Dark Division?"

　Okamoto trailed off, and then a sudden inspiration struck me.

　"Holy crap! Is it really such a coincidence? Kushina's words prove that Ye Chen is the Leaf Village Rascal! Many people know that Ye Chen is the Leaf Village Rascal, but that doesn't mean they've all seen him! The Leaf Village Rascal really is my student!" "You're right, teacher."

　Seemingly sensing Okamoto's thoughts, Ye Chen nodded slightly.

Chapter 295 It turns out he's Iruka Umino's father.

　Konoha School, Playground

　Yoruichi, Okamoto, and Kushina Uzumaki strolled leisurely, chatting about interesting things from time to time. Overall, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious and warm.

　Okamoto believed it. His student was Konoha Rashad! That... legendary figure who shocked the entire ninja world and whose name resounded throughout it all! Okamoto was just a nobody; he never imagined such a day would come.

　He had even trained a top-tier ninja in the ninja world. Although they weren't directly related to him, the fact that one of them had come from his tutelage was incredibly surprising and delightful.

　"By the way, I remember you joined the Dark Guard, Nightfall-kun. How did you end up in the Land of Rain?"

　Okamoto couldn't help but ask.

　"Because I'm stronger than the average ANBU ninja, I defeated ten senior ninjas when I went in."

　Given the pessimistic outlook for the warriors of the Land of Rain, the Hokage sent me there to take charge of "197".

　Assassination and decapitation missions, of course, the initial missions are all simple ones.

　Ye Chen said in a seemingly casual tone

　Only he knew the hardships he had endured along the way. The ninja world was fraught with danger, and the battlefield was a death trap, fraught with countless variables.

　Even with the system's assistance, Ye Chen couldn't guarantee his safe escape.

　Furthermore, the system only granted him the power of a Devil Fruit; his ability to detect external dangers still relied on his own judgment.

　If he feared death, perhaps Ye Chen would never have gone to the battlefield.

　Danger and opportunity coexist. Ye Chen doesn't want to be cannon fodder, so he has no choice but to pick up a butcher's knife and kill all the obstacles in his way.

　Okamoto remained silent, seeing that Ye Chen spoke so casually, yet he could understand the bitterness behind those seemingly ordinary words.

　When he first entered the Land of Rain, he didn't really have much hope of returning to his village; he was prepared to sacrifice himself. Fortunately, he was lucky and escaped danger without incident along the way.

　"I was just passing by today and didn't expect to see you, teacher."

　Ye Chen said

　He felt that a teacher like Okamoto, after so much time, should have retired long ago to go home and take care of his children. After all, this was the first time teachers were being approved for employment, and even if they quit, they would still have good benefits.

　"The Hokage values ​​me and made me the head of my grade at the Ninja Academy. I don't have to teach classes, just attend regular meetings, which allows me to take care of my family."

　Okamoto smiled, a warm smile spreading across his face when he mentioned family.

　"Didn't you have a son last year, Mr. Okamoto?"

　Kushina couldn't help but say

　"Yes, his name is Iruka."

　She's two years old now.

　Okamoto said, his face beaming with joy.

　"Iruka"

　Ye Chen was speechless. Was it really such a coincidence?

　However, judging by the timeline, Iruka should have been born around this time as well.

　Iruka, throughout his life, only reached the level of a Chunin, but his status was the most special, even more special than that of Kakashi Hatake.

　There's a joke in the Naruto world: you can fight Hinata and Sakura, but killing Iruka is a different story.
