...For the Next Plot ......
'Ehem, summary, Anko went to the Hokage's office to get an update of the information or give a report of where she went all this time. The departure of an Anko-level ninja for a few weeks cannot be underestimated, so our existence is both questionable because it disappeared without a trace.'
'Meanwhile, Naruto experimented with Hiraishin no Jutsu, attempting to use it to move the world. I'm sure he can return to that world (Kenja no Mago) for having the seal mark there, but maybe he wants to do a trial by going to a random world.'
'I'm less concerned as long as she comes back home, and if not I'll report her being kidnapped while I'm not around.'
Elena made a long narrative over what had just happened for a while ago.
'Now, I have no work to walk the streets of this crowded Konoha. There was nothing special about this day, just some villagers doing their usual activities.'
'For Sasuke and Sakura, it seemed like the two of them were training somewhere far away. I couldn't find them around the village. Well, from the beginning I didn't have much to do with the two of them, so I myself was less concerned with what would happen to the two of them.'
In this Konoha street, Elena's gaze wandered to various angles. There's nothing really special about this, just the busy, passing people. 'Once is not bad too to be in the crowd, ' he thought.
Since a few days ago he was indeed in a quiet place and tried to revive the fashion sannin of Hagoromo. His mentality and physique were fine, yet he felt uneasy after a long period of seclusion in the Bluesphere empire.
‘Hmm? Isn't that Iruka-sensei? What the hell is he doing here? Rarely see it out here.’ asked Elena in her mind when she saw Iruka.
Feeling curious. Elena comes to Iruka instead of being a curious demon who doesn't get an answer to her question.
“Good day, Iruka-sensei!” Elena waved her hand. “What are you doing in this place? Shouldn't you still be teaching at the academy at the moment?”
Iruka was shocked for a while when Elena approached her suddenly. The crowd around them distracted him too much, making him less focused. Also, besides that he looked a little tired like he was facing something difficult and complicated problem. This might have something to do with him leaving his duties at the academy.
“Haha, I was just taking some time off between my busy daily life,” Iruka replied with a stiff smile.
‘Surely something, nih.’ Elena's gaze very clearly showed her suspicion without her hiding her true intentions. This eye gaze itself has become the body language to raise a meaningful question, “Can you tell me what is really going on? If you only answer like that, your answer has a broad aspect to various understandings about the busyness of what you are experiencing.”
“Ke-Why do you see me like that?” Iruka felt uncomfortable about Elena's intentions.
“Yeah, not nothing.” Elena shook her head. “I just hope someone gives me a closer answer to one particular aspect rather than just saying something that has a broad context like taking a break from busyness. I myself am also taking a break from the current busyness.”
The smile on Elena's face was clearly to calm Iruka down. This was a hint about him asking for further explanation. His telepathy is still not in use at this time. This was only a small matter and it would not concern a person's life if he failed to dig up information from Iruka. This information can be easily ignored, right?
“Actually ...” Iruka wanted to say something, but Elena cut her off.
“Before that, let's sit down first, Sensei. Definitely uncomfortable to do something while standing, ‘kan?” elena's greeting was kind and sincere for this one time.
---
They both went to a bench on the side of the road and sat there. Elena did not consider this an important matter and most people who passed by on the streets also did not pay attention to the two of them. Otherwise, the existence of Elena whose position as Jinchuriki Kurama would have already made quite a fuss.
The conversation between the two was relatively short with Elena being a good listener. Elena's initial goal of taking a walk in Konoha was to find out the latest information after she had long disappeared into another world. Although going to the hokage office and reading Sandaime's mind directly is the fastest way, Elena who is a peace-loving creature does not like to make this one choice.
No, that's not the real reason. He was just too lazy to go there alone and just so happened to be a reliable source of information and had some free time. So, why not take information from that much faster and easier? Iruka also has a good relationship with these two Jinchuriki. Vigilance is not at all necessary when dealing with Iruka.
“Fumu, so like that whatever happened during my time away.” Elena nodded with her finger holding her chin. “My secret library you unloaded to Hiruzen's grandfather, The search for the three of us made Hiruzen wonder, and Sakura along with Sasuke was inaugurated into Genin with Kakashi being Jounin.”
“Ya...” Iruka looks tired before continuing, “Sandaime-sama wants some things from your library, Naruto is important as a member of team 7, and Anko who is a Special Jounin gives a momentary confusion. Because of this matter, I have some troublesome matters to do. Do you remember the ninja rules when leaving the village?”
‘Yap, exactly. The ninja must report to the Hokage when leaving the village, then make a report about what he did after returning. I completely broke this one procedure and did as I pleased. I guess, I won't be too much of a problem, anyway I don't go to any country in the world.’
Ninjas are military forces in the Naruto world, their ranks are like soldiers, and they are weapons of the country or village. When a ninja leaves the village and enters the land of another village, then makes a riot there, then the ninja's home village will suffer the consequences. Because of this problem, the circulation of the ninja needs to be considered carefully by the Hokage directly to know clearly what the ninja is doing.
With the power of ninjas, even the weakest Genin could kill a few civilians just their kunai throwing skills. When the ninja suddenly went on a rampage in the middle of the road, it was certain that some civilians would become victims of their rampage. Guard or security? Forgetit. Criminals have time to commit crimes before law enforcement comes to stop them.
Let alone thinking about Elena and Naruto who are Jinchuriki, and Anko Mitarashi who is a Special Jounin. The damage will not be small, with the possible impact of the destruction of a village in one attack. This is not funny and can trigger a war, with the worst possibility the entire fire country will attack Konoha or even 5 countries.
‘Of course I still clearly remember this one rule. Merely, I was too lazy to be restrained by the village, after all as I said earlier, I was not in this world and did not enter into the land of any village at all. Even if I riot in that world, the chances are very small for them to take revenge by coming to this world.’
“Ma-Sorry, sorry. I will report to the hokage when I leave the village next time, hehe.” Elena smiled wryly as she said her apology.
“I'm less sure about your apology.” Iruka said flatly and continued, “More than that, Team 7 is on a mission to Nami no Kuni. If I can, I want Naruto to catch up with them because he's one of their members.”
“Hmm...” Ignoring Iruka, Elena looked up and said, “Counting Naruto and Sasuke's strength is indeed not strange if they pass in a special way. After all it was too futile to have such a powerful card but never sharpen it. You agree with me too, don't you?” Elena's face tilted slightly at Iruka.
“Yes. Because it-.” Iruka will say something, unfortunately Elena cut.
“But, I can't send Naruto this time!” His voice was a little loud and firm this time.
“Ke-Why?”
“My sister is studying a jutsu and she may not be in Konoha at the moment. As a good brother and law-abiding human, I will take his place to become a member of Team 7 temporarily. Also I will report about Naruto's departure to Hokage as a representative,”.
‘He's studying space-time jutsu, anyway. It was not strange that he got lost in a very strange world and had very different laws of physics. At the worst possible time, he might get into a black hole. Well, if that happens, I will go to an alternate dimension of this world and look for another Naruto to replace the one here.’
---
Meanwhile, in another dimension. A desert shines its heat endlessly and burns the skin of every living thing beneath it. Normal humans would find it difficult to stay strong in this situation, of course this is because of the heat of this desert and there is no sign of life visible there.
But in this scorching heat of the sun, one of the yellow-haired boys was walking down the heat of this barren land. Yep, none other than Naruto who trials a space-time jutsu, opens random coordinates, then ends up in this alien and unknown world. His fate was truly unlucky for being in another world when he had just returned to his original world.
“Pa-Hot...,” stubs.
Naruto's appearance isn't too bad at least. He wore his jacket with an unclosed zipper with his body slightly withered while under this high temperature.
*wush!*
A breeze blew around Naruto.
This is a kind of Rasengan jutsu that he modified so that at least can give it coolness from the wind flow. But still, in this arid land it is not too influential because the air there is also hot like the environment around the place.
“It's a little better than before, but it's also still hot as before.”
---
Back at Elena and Iruka, the two of them finished conversing. Elena didn't really have a topic she wanted to talk to this person about even though Iruka seemed to want to know more about what had happened over the past few days.
“Oke, it's enough to get here, yes, Iruka-sensei. I'll go see Hokage-sama and make a brief report on what happened during these past few days,” Elena said while giving a sweet smile before she left.
“Wait ...” Iruka still had some things she wanted to talk about with Elena.
Seeing the girl who immediately ran away leaving him, he could only sigh tiredly and speculate some of the possibilities that happened when Elena, Naruto, and Anko left Konoha for a few days. His headache only increased when he wanted to share his problems with others a little.
“Hah…. The young generation today. They are too energetic to be able to talk to like a few generations before.”
The generation before Naruto was born was indeed a very chaotic time for the ninja world, even Naruto's time was only a period of calm before a big storm. The 1st ninja world war when new villages were formed, the 2nd ninja world war occurred because of territorial problems in the 3rd sannin era, the, the 3rd ninja world war that occurred because there was no bright spot in the peace agreement during the Minato period, and the 4th ninja world war against Akatsuki which is still to come, is still coming, then not to mention the alien invasion-Otsutsuki-to get the choco sought-after. The world of Naruto is certainly not a peaceful world like Hamefura and is not suitable to be a tourist spot, except having sufficient strength to banish all criminals.
Apart from wars and conflicts between villages because they have not found a peace agreement that benefits all parties, there are still many bandits, naughty ninjas, and wild animals in various places. A hard world like this, it was simply not suitable for civilians or the weak to survive there. They will only be food and exploited by those who are strong.
“Alright, next I'll go back to the academy. I'm glad at least they both survived.” Iruka left the place with a slight small smile thinking about the two Jinchuriki that this village hated.
Her relationship with Naruto and Elena may be only a student and teacher, but Iruka is basically a good person and takes care of her students, especially the two of them who are alienated by the village.
