Konoha, Ninja School.
A few days passed, and Iruka finally felt that something was wrong.
These past few days, he felt that his students had become active again.
When they looked at him, there was no longer fear; instead, they were laughing and chatting. Only when he used his Fire of Eight Fragrances Genjutsu would they show a pained expression.
But as soon as he turned away from their sight, they would be laughing and chatting again, not at all like before when they would suffer for half a day after being hit by the jutsu.
At first, he thought the children had all adapted, and they were much stronger than him in this regard.
But,
This situation started with the third-graders, and slowly,
Second-graders, fourth-graders…
Except for the first-graders, everyone exhibited this behaviour.
This made him feel that something was wrong, and his excellent Ninja qualities told him that he must figure out what was happening.
Bang!
Iruka transformed into a blackboard eraser, waiting quietly.
He waited for class to begin, preparing to use his excellent intelligence-gathering abilities as a Chunin to uncover their secret.
He firmly believed this.
Ding-a-ling!
As the class bell rang, students walked in from outside, one by one.
Every one of them was very lively, and some looked very sleepy.
"Ah, Iruka-sensei has class again today, how great!"
"Yeah, just thinking about pretending to be in pain in front of Iruka-sensei,
It's so much fun!"
"Should we play today, or should I skip class and play outside? Anyway, Iruka-sensei's trick is useless now."
The laughing and chatting childish voices echoed in Iruka's ears.
And he also gathered some information.
The trick his teacher taught him had been cracked, and he had been played for several days.
No wonder he felt a bit off these past few days.
"Hey, the blackboard wasn't erased yesterday, Torikawa, among all of third grade, only you haven't been punished by the teacher.
As a model student, go erase the blackboard."
Suddenly, a student saw the chalk writing from yesterday's class still on the blackboard and, on a whim, wanted to help the teacher.
The young boy named Torikawa didn't complain. He was indeed a model student, and he did very well in this regard.
In the entire Ninja School, only a few students had never been punished by Iruka-sensei, and he was one of them.
"Stop, stop, no!"
Iruka wanted to speak, but remembering that he couldn't let the students know he was eavesdropping, he could only try his best to maintain the appearance of a blackboard eraser.
Liang grabbed the blackboard eraser, feeling that today's blackboard eraser seemed much heavier than before.
But he didn't think much of it and started erasing the blackboard.
Iruka was in tears, feeling his body rubbing against the blackboard, and it was even more painful in the hands of an excellent student like Torikawa, who never made mistakes.
He regretted not transforming into the podium instead of the blackboard eraser; that would have been better.
After Torikawa finished erasing, he returned to his seat like the other students, waiting for the teacher to arrive.
Seeing the students return to their seats, the blackboard eraser suddenly extended four legs, wanting to seize the opportunity to escape through the classroom door.
However,
Before he could leave,
Mizuki walked in through the door, holding books.
This made Iruka, who was about to act, immediately stop and retract his four legs.
"Hello, students."
"Hello, Mizuki-sensei."
"Alright, now open the 'Information Synthesis' book, page 27. According to trace forensics, determine the scene of a battle that has occurred…"
Mizuki lectured while displaying questions and answers on the blackboard during the lesson.
He occasionally picked up the blackboard eraser to wipe the blackboard.
At one point, Mizuki paused for a moment, then continued to wipe.
…
Teacher's Office.
"Iruka, what's wrong with you? Why did you think of transforming into a blackboard eraser with the Transformation Jutsu, haha?"
Mizuki laughed heartily, looking at Iruka, whose face was red on both sides.
Beside them, other teachers, seeing Iruka's appearance and hearing Mizuki's words, also covered their mouths and laughed.
"Big Brother Mizuki, you knew I had transformed all along, didn't you?" Iruka complained, annoyed.
Mizuki spread his hands: "Oh, who told you not to say anything? I almost thought you were an enemy!"
He thought it was Lord Third's person monitoring him; he didn't expect it to be Iruka.
"Sigh, I found that the students seemed to be acting strangely, so I went to gather intelligence," Iruka said.
"So, did you gather any intelligence?"
"Hmm, these guys have cracked my Genjutsu, and they're spreading it widely.
Except for the first-graders who just learned to refine Chakra,
That trick is useless against all other students!" Iruka exclaimed.
He hadn't expected that while he only thought of a way to plug his ears, the students had already cracked the Genjutsu.
The teachers present were all stunned when they heard Iruka's words.
Students?
Cracked that annoying Genjutsu?
As teachers, they were all capable people. Over such a long time, they had naturally thought of various ways to crack, defend against, or evade this Genjutsu.
But for it to spread throughout the entire Ninja School and for everyone to learn it, their methods wouldn't apply.
"Who cracked it?"
To be able to crack it and spread its use indicates that this student has excellent talent. They all wanted to know which young one it was.
Or which young one had their parents crack it?
Iruka shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't finished gathering information yet. I only know it should be a third-grader."
This method originated from the third grade, indicating the source was there.
Ebisu laughed upon hearing this: "Haha, you've learned your lesson, haven't you? Teaching should be proper teaching and guidance, not using threats or coercion."
Iruka nodded. He also deeply felt that such a teaching method was indeed wrong.
"But then again, there are also exceptionally talented individuals among the young ones. To be able to crack this Genjutsu is remarkable."
This statement was agreed upon by most of the teachers.
…
Land of Rain, 3 feet underground.
"Super Range Perception."
The deep tunnel advanced in a straight line towards Hidden Rain Village.
Satoru's perception of Ninjutsu was expanded to its maximum range, penetrating three feet of earth, his attention focused on his perception.
Countless misty raindrops fell from the sky.
Dark clouds made all areas of the Land of Rain appear exceptionally gloomy.
Residents and ninjas wearing raincoats and rain boots moved along the roads.
Occasionally, he could perceive the Hidden Rain Village Ninja moving quickly through the rain.
The Land of Rain, which did not participate in the Third Great Ninja War, clearly had a higher happiness index for its residents than most other places.
Due to the unique geographical environment of the Land of Rain, most buildings were tin-roofed houses, which gave Satoru a cyberpunk feeling.
"How is it?" Toriko asked.
Next to Satoru, Toriko, as a labourer, occasionally used Earth Release to clear a path as instructed.
Ibara Keisen and Tomako held special scrolls, maintaining a special barrier that surrounded the four of them.
"We're almost at Hidden Rain Village. We need to be careful. Ibara, Tomao, maintain the barrier well.
It's also possible that the enemy has already located us.
Be ready to fight at any time," Satoru said.
After giving instructions, his perception didn't stop, to prevent a Six Paths, or Nagato, or Konan from suddenly appearing from somewhere he didn't know about.
He wasn't sure if walking underground and maintaining the stealth barrier he had developed could evade the Akatsuki Organisation's perception.
Moreover, there were also Hidden Rain Village Ninja.
The Land of Rain wasn't just Nagato and Konan; other Ninja should not be underestimated.
