Chapter 326 Kakashi’s Worry
Before seeing Kakashi crush teacher Iruka, Naruto had a very vague concept of ninja levels. He believed that there might be some differences in strength among ninjas, but the difference would not be too outrageous.

Just as he was confident that he could defeat a Chunin, several Chunins were always capable of defeating a Jonin.

The third-generation grandfather who usually appears to be amiable can only deal with more than ten to twenty Genin at most, no matter how strong he is. After all, ninjas are made of flesh and blood, so there won't be much difference between them.

But after seeing Kakashi's strength, Naruto felt like his perception was overturned.

Kakashi could deal with Chunin so easily, so he must be able to handle more than ten or twenty Genin easily. But to the third generation grandfather, the number of Genin has lost its meaning.

My dream of becoming a Hokage is more difficult than I imagined.

In the following time, Naruto could always sense Kakashi's gaze. Although he was used to being stared at in such strange ways, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

After finishing the physical education class, Naruto spent time on cultural and political classes.

Naruto would naturally listen very seriously to those cultural courses related to his future ninja career, as these courses would be very helpful for him to become Hokage in the future.

But Naruto found the course on the Will of Fire a bit boring.

It’s not because he looked down on the Will of Fire. When he was very young, he read all the books about the Will of Fire in the library.

These books all emphasize the Will of Fire, which requires one to dedicate themselves to and protect their companions, but very few of them actually teach how to realize the Will of Fire, and no one can accurately tell him who his companions are.

At first, Naruto thought that everyone in the village was his companion.

Although they look down on me because of some rumors, as long as I give my true heart, I will be able to gain their sincerity and gradually gain recognition from my peers.

This is indeed the case. After he showed his sunny and enthusiastic side, the villagers' attitude towards him became much friendlier. Except for a few people who had been taking advantage of him, the rest of them expressed their approval of him.

So, Naruto excluded those who did not recognize him from the category of companions.

From that time on, Naruto knew that in this village that promoted the Will of Fire, not everyone was willing to believe in and practice the Will of Fire.

Many more people only talk about the will of fire, but their actions go completely against it.

This is true for some hypocritical villagers and some teachers in the ninja school. In Naruto's opinion, the only ninjas who have truly and fully practiced the will of fire are Sensei Iruka and himself.

I do this to get recognition, but what does Iruka-sensei do this for?

Naruto pondered for a long time, but he couldn't get an answer for the time being. However, it did not stop him from continuing to practice the Will of Fire. For him, the Will of Fire, like Ninjutsu, was a very useful tool.

After school at 3pm, Naruto went to the streets to look for people in need as usual.

He helps the shop owner run errands, helps old men and women cross the road, and when he encounters a child who is being bullied, he will use his fists to educate the bully.

While Naruto was helping others, Kakashi was also secretly observing Naruto.

There is nothing wrong with what Naruto does, and he is even better than his good friend Obito. Compared with Naruto, Obito's performance is not good, and he often makes things worse when helping others.

Naruto would not make such mistakes, he was like a model straight out of a textbook.

Seeing this scene, Kakashi felt a little complicated. Naruto inherited the good side of Minato, which was a good thing, but it meant that he couldn't help Naruto. Naruto didn't seem to need the intervention and help of others in this situation.

When it was dark, Naruto left the streets of Konoha.

After wandering around, he came to an open space in the back mountain of Konoha, and began to practice throwing and physical skills on several wooden stakes on the open space.

After exchanging a glance with the Anbu who were protecting Naruto, Kakashi carefully observed Naruto's every move.

Judging from Naruto's training volume and skills, Naruto's strength is definitely far beyond that of other students of the same period, and is not much inferior to him at the same age.

With this kind of strength, he could have graduated to become a Genin long ago and become a member of the front-line battlefield.

However, Naruto's current strength is far from enough for the Jinchūriki, and the Jinchūriki is destined to be attacked by the enemy.

Without the strength of a jonin, he cannot avoid assassinations, nor can he control the tailed beasts to use the Tailed Beast Balls.

Naruto looks very powerful now, but it is hard to say whether he has actually met the Nine-Tails.

After training for two hours, Naruto left the training ground panting. When Kakashi was about to catch up, he suddenly turned around and said:
"Kakashi Jonin, you have been following me for a day. What is it about me that attracts you?"

"Or, you were sent here by Grandpa Hokage. Apart from Grandpa Hokage, no one else has the power to command the Jonin in the village."

Kakashi looked a little embarrassed when Naruto revealed his identity and goal.

In order to maintain his dignity in front of Naruto, Kakashi said with a cold face:
"Your perception ability is stronger than I thought. You guessed it right. I am a Jonin sent by the Third-Kai. My mission is to train you into a qualified ninja."

Hearing this, Naruto returned to the training ground and said to Kakashi:
"Since you are my jonin, please come and teach me. No matter how long I train alone, I will never understand the gap between me and a jonin."

Hearing this, Kakashi's mouth twitched slightly and he followed Naruto.

Looking at Naruto's leisurely back, Kakashi looked a little dazed. He finally understood where the abnormality with Naruto came from.

Naruto is a good kid in every way, except that he doesn't really act like a child.

A normal child of Naruto's age will show his childish side no matter how sensible he is. This habit occurs unintentionally, and no matter how well he imitates adults, there will be mistakes.

Just like when he was studying in the Ninja School, no matter how cool he acted, he couldn't help but smile after defeating Obito.

It was not until he discovered his father dead at home that he gradually began to shut himself off.

Even at that time, he still showed the temper and unreasonableness of a child.

But Naruto is different. You can't feel any childishness in Naruto. Naruto keeps smiling to everyone and always shows a leisurely attitude in everything.

Kakashi didn't know what Naruto had been through to become so calm.

Perhaps because he was an orphan since childhood, or perhaps because of the discrimination from the villagers, Kakashi didn't know whether Naruto's character was good or bad.

If Naruto really has no temper, then what should Naruto do himself?
