Ordinary people would think that this person is trustworthy, not to mention that Menma still has the most orthodox Uzumaki bloodline, huge power of perception, and the unique ability of the Nine-Tails to sense malice, which is far better than that of his mother Uzumaki Kushin
Nay, as well as Uzumaki Kōrin and the special Kagura Heart Eye, Kōrin can sense the coldness and warmth of chakra.
At this moment, Menma could easily sense Iruka's sincere heart.
He didn't deceive himself!
In that moment.
Menma didn't know whether he was simply happy in his heart, or whether he had some other emotions.
But at least I still feel relieved.
Saying this may be a bit pretentious, or even a little pretentious, but after all, Menma still cannot completely ignore the good intentions of others. In his previous life, he was really just an ordinary person.
Mian Ma will not repay kindness with kindness, but it is even less likely to repay kindness with hatred.
Repay kindness with kindness, repay hatred with kindness!
This is the life creed that Menma has always adhered to.
Even Iruka may not be talking about 'virtue'.
Looking at Mian Ma who remained silent for a long time.
It also made Iruka's inner uneasiness gradually expand, just when Iruka thought he was going to screw up.
"Well, I believe you, Mr. Iruka. If you are not trustworthy, then maybe there is really no one trustworthy!"
After Menma took a deep breath, he looked at Iruka with an extremely serious expression and said this.
When I heard Menma's words.
It's not just Iruka.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who once thought he would not take action immediately, breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
This Third Hokage also appreciates and recognizes Iruka more and more from the bottom of his heart.
I also felt in my heart that handing Menma over to Iruka was the right thing to do. Next, I just need to use Iruka and myself as the fulcrum to let Menma gain recognition and closeness from more people.
You will definitely become the hero of Konohagakure and what you want to see!
This is a wish that Sarutobi Hiruzen has always had!
Iruka also showed a smile and nodded slightly. After obviously seeing Menma relax, he also walked lightly to Menma's side.
"Then tell the teacher now what happened, Menma!"
"Yes, Iruka-sensei!"
Menma nodded, and after sorting out his thoughts, he described the matter from beginning to end in plain language.
He told me everything including opening the sealed book and reading it.
Anyway, these are all under the supervision of Sarutobi Hiruzen, so they are completely fine!
While Iruka was listening, his expression was constantly changing. He really didn't expect that Mizuki would set things off.
From the most normal perspective, without considering any unexpected factors, it is impossible for most people to believe Menma's words.
But at this moment, Iruka was willing to believe what Menma said, both intellectually and emotionally.
This is not only based on the previous commitment.
It is also a subjective judgment made by Iruka after spending so many years with Menma.
He didn't think, nor did he believe that Menma would be such a bad boy!
"Well, I believe what you said, Menma, but this time things are indeed a bit big. Take Mizuki with you, let's go back and report to the Third Generation. Don't worry, I believe that the Third Generation will also
Believe in you!"
Iruka took a deep breath and said this.
As if to enhance the credibility of his words and appease Menma's emotions, he patted Menma's shoulder slightly hard.
"Well, I also believe in the third generation grandfather!"
Menma raised his head and said seriously.
Following from that.
Iruka and Menma, one carrying Mizuki and the other carrying the Book of Sealing, left the forest far away from the core area of the village and flew back towards the direction of the Hokage Building.
Under the crystal.
After seeing this scene and hearing Menma's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen also had a faint and gentle smile on his old face.
Getting along over the years.
Isn't this the kind of relationship he pursues?
Now it seems.
Menma has fully met his expectations, and this last little test was passed perfectly!
'Minato, your child has really grown up. Whether it is Naruto or Menma, he will definitely become a staunch defender of the Will of Fire like you in the future!!'
Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a breath of turbid air and thought silently in his heart.
On the other side, Iruka and Menma, who were speeding back all the way, had just approached the Hokage Building.
Just two people wearing ANBU uniforms appeared close to Iruka and Menma.
Iruka was suddenly shocked.
But he didn't wait for Iruka to say anything.
"Leave the traitorous ninja Mizuki to us, the Hokage is already waiting for you inside!"
The ANBU on the left said with a hoarse tone.
This is clearly a direct and general statement.
Don't tell me that you already knew everything.
Iruka, who reacted quickly enough, immediately relaxed his previously tense heartstrings when he heard the words 'Rebel Ninja Mizuki'.
Since Mizuki is defined as a rebellious ninja.
Then everything that follows is very simple. Although Iruka is a little concerned about why the village reacted so quickly, Iruka still knows very well what his duty is. Many times, for many things, he pretends to be confused.
is the correct approach.
Iruka is no longer the young rookie who just graduated from ninja school.
"Let's go, Menma!"
After handing Mizuki to the ANBU on the opposite side.
Iruka also smiled and said to Menma beside him in the gentlest tone.
It seems that this method can relieve Menma's nervousness.
But in fact.
Most of Menma's expressions are fake.
There was absolutely no emotion in his heart.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was monitored the whole time, and none of the ANBU behind him took action. This can already 100% explain Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude. There are also plots in the original work for reference, unless something really happens.
Accident.
Otherwise, Menma doesn't have anything to worry about.
"Yes, Iruka-sensei!"
I can only say that Menma's acting skills are really getting better now.
The two of them went straight into the Hokage Building and followed the stairs to the most special office on the top floor.
A soft knock on the door.
"Come in!"
After Sarutobi Hiruzen's slightly low words sounded inside.
Iruka also opened the door carefully.
After entering with Menma inside.
Iruka was about to kneel down on one knee to salute with his face numb.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and waved his hand to stop the two of them.
"Okay, there is no need to be so restrained, Iruka, Menma, you too. I already know what happened just now. It was not your fault, Menma, and you still have merit, so there is no need for any
