Chapter 63 Everyone in the dream is doing well.
in the audience.
Sakura, watching Naruto's bewildered expression on the screen, couldn't help but whisper, "Why is it that in our dream, we don't seem to recognize Iruka-sensei at all? Isn't the Iruka-sensei in our dream... our teacher?"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi glanced at Iruka beside him and said thoughtfully, "It seems... that's not the case."
Iruka took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging excitement and sorrow in his heart. He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, choked out a bitter smile, and said, "If my parents were still alive, I would probably have followed them to the front lines to carry out missions... I would never have had the chance to stay in the village and be a teacher."
After he finished speaking, the group looked at each other, and for a moment they all sighed.
On the screen.
Iruka and his parents chatted briefly with Kakashi and the others about the situation at the border before taking their leave.
Before leaving, Iruka politely nodded to Naruto, then turned and hurriedly left with his parents.
Naruto stood there blankly, watching the Iruka family's departing figures without saying a word, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
In real life, Iruka-sensei always understood and accompanied me, watching me grow up step by step.
It's fair to say that without Iruka-sensei, there might not be the Naruto Uzumaki we know today.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected. Emotional value +500!]
But then I thought, Iruka-sensei in the dream had parents by his side, so he must have grown up happily and never experienced the loneliness in reality.
Iruka-sensei must be very happy...
Isn't the life he has now exactly what Iruka-sensei has always hoped for?
Thinking about this, Naruto gradually calmed down.
He wiped away the tears that were about to spill from the corners of his eyes, and his previously downcast expression gradually eased, with a bright smile returning to his face.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected. Emotional value +500!]
"Naruto."
Kakashi noticed that Naruto was acting strangely, patted him on the shoulder with concern, and asked in confusion, "When did you meet Iruka? Logically speaking, Iruka's parents are stationed in the advance force all year round, and Iruka has been going out with them on missions since graduating from the Ninja Academy. You shouldn't have had the opportunity to meet him."
"Ah...this..." Naruto paused, speechless for a moment.
He couldn't very well tell Kakashi-sensei that the Iruka-sensei he knew was actually in the real world, could he?
The image of Iruka turning and leaving was still vivid in his mind.
That familiar figure gradually faded into the distance, eventually disappearing into the crowd.
Naruto grinned at Kakashi and said, "Haha, it's nothing! We're not actually that close, but it just feels really friendly!"
Seeing Naruto's expression change instantly, revealing a carefree smile, Sasuke couldn't help but lean closer, following his gaze in the direction Iruka's family had left. He raised an eyebrow suspiciously: "Really? I didn't sense any closeness between you and him at all."
Naruto chuckled dryly twice, offering no rebuttal.
Kakashi stroked his chin and said, "However, I heard that Iruka doesn't seem to like the bloody days on the front lines and is planning to return to Konoha to become a Jonin."
Naruto nodded slightly upon hearing this, thinking to himself: Sure enough, no matter which world he's in, Iruka-sensei is still Iruka-sensei.
As he was reflecting on this, a sudden thought struck him, and he realized something was wrong: "Wait, wait a minute! Kakashi-sensei, what did you just say?"
Naruto stared wide-eyed at Kakashi in shock. "A Jonin?!"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected. Emotional value +300!]
"Isn't Iruka-sensei always a Chunin?" Naruto blurted out, his mind filled with disbelief.
Sakura and Sasuke, who were standing nearby, both looked surprised upon hearing this.
Sakura blinked, asking curiously, "He looks like he's only in his early twenties, right? Is he a Jonin at such a young age?"
Sasuke crossed his arms and calmly analyzed, "Perhaps he's just a special Jonin."
"No, Iruka isn't a 'Special Jonin,'" Kakashi chuckled and shook his head. "He's a proper Jonin. After all, Iruka's parents were very strong Jonin; otherwise, he wouldn't have been selected for the advance team!"
"Eh—!!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but widen his eyes, open his mouth wide, and let out an exaggerated exclamation.
Iruka-sensei was a Jonin in the dream?
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
Just as Naruto was too shocked to speak, the surrounding scenery suddenly trembled slightly, and then the scene in front of him began to blur rapidly, like ripples on a lake.
In the audience, the huge light screen flickered twice and then gradually became transparent.
The surrounding dim theater space seemed to lose its support and quickly faded away...
As the dream ended, Shiyu, who was hiding behind the scenes, unconsciously smiled.
[This time, the dream-fulfilling recipient is: Naruto Uzumaki]
[Viewers: Uchiha Sasuke, Umino Iruka, Haruno Sakura, Hatake Kakashi]
[Total Emotion Points Gain: 31600!]
[Current sentiment score balance: 182331 points!]
[Current Dream Fulfillment Level: 3 (236831/300000)]
Shi Yu looked at the soaring emotion value on the panel with satisfaction.
With the help of four audience members, the emotional value increased much faster.
At this rate, he should be able to advance to the next level of authority in about three more days.
The next morning.
Naruto woke up from his deep sleep, opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, the scene from his dream from the previous night still repeatedly appearing in his mind.
The moment he woke up from his dream, he vaguely thought he would hear his mother calling him to get up outside, just like in his dream, but the only sound in the quiet little house was the chirping of birds in the early morning.
This stark contrast made Naruto feel a tightness in his chest, and he couldn't help but sigh again.
After a long while, he slowly sat up and sighed softly.
Everyone in my dream was doing well...
Thinking about reality and then about his dream, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.
In that world, I grew up surrounded by love, with my parents still alive. Iruka-sensei also had parents by her side and always had a cheerful smile.
In reality, both he and Iruka-sensei had to endure the loneliness of losing a loved one...
That dreamlike, wonderful life is far too different from reality.
However, no matter how big the gap is between reality and dreams, he will never be discouraged!
Naruto clenched his fist tightly and made a silent vow in his heart.
One day, he will become a great Hokage like his father, and personally protect everyone in the village.
Only in this way can everyone in reality live the happy and wonderful life they dream of!
Naruto shook his head, trying his best to clear his mind, and jumped off the bed.
After a quick wash, he grabbed his casual clothes and changed into them. He then devoured his breakfast in a few bites and excitedly began packing his bags.
Kakashi-sensei informed them yesterday that the team had a C-rank escort mission to carry out today!
"Finally...finally, this isn't just another boring chore of catching cats and dogs!"
Naruto excitedly clenched his fist, his face full of eager anticipation.
He had been holding back for a long time, and now he could finally show his skills in a real mission and let everyone see how powerful he was!
Before setting off, Naruto specifically tried extending his right palm and concentrating his energy.
The pale blue chakra quickly gathered in his palm, but it suddenly dissipated with a "poof" when he tried to make it spin at high speed.
Naruto was slightly taken aback, but then gritted his teeth in defiance and gathered chakra once more.
After several unsuccessful attempts, he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down and recall the feeling of casting the Rasengan in his dream.
Naruto calmed himself down and raised his right hand again.
This time, the azure chakra steadily took shape in his palm, condensing into a perfectly spinning sphere!
"We did it!!"
Naruto's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the buzzing chakra orb in his hand, so excited he almost burst out laughing.
In dreams and out of dreams...
He finally mastered his father's secret technique!
Filled with a sense of accomplishment, Naruto hurried toward the gates of Konoha.
