Moke was currently considering whether or not to make a move.

But just then, a figure rushed over. To Moke's surprise, the person who came was actually an "acquaintance".

He is Iruka Umino, the "master teacher" in Naruto.

Iruka Umino is a Chunin from Konoha in the Land of Fire. He is an ordinary yet great teacher who, despite not possessing great strength, provides Naruto with excellent moral encouragement.

His parents died during the Nine-Tails' Attack Konoha, and he grew up under the care of people including the Third Naruto.

After that Iruka's personality changed drastically. He was the life of the party in front of his classmates, but he often cried silently in front of the Konoha Memorial Stone until he was carefully taught by the Third Naruto.

After being promoted to Chunin, he decided to stay at the Konoha Ninja Academy to nurture new life and power for the village, and became the first teacher of many outstanding ninjas, including Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka (Ninja Dog Akamaru), and Hinata Hyuga.

Moreover, he was the first person besides the Third Naruto to acknowledge Naruto. At the same time, Iruka often helped Naruto like an older brother (frequently treating Naruto to ramen, caring about Naruto's studies, etc.).

Because the Nine-Tails inside Naruto, he was long ostracized and discriminated against by the villagers.

One night, Naruto, encouraged by Mizuki, stole the scroll sealing the First Naruto. Mizuki planned to kill Naruto after he obtained the scroll. At this moment, Iruka discovered this and arrived at the scene, blocking a Mizuki for Naruto. Afterwards, Mizuki used the Transformation Technique to try to transform into Iruka and steal the scroll, but Iruka also used the Transformation Technique to retaliate. During their conversation, Iruka mentioned that Naruto was an excellent student whom he recognized, which moved Naruto, causing Naruto to use the forbidden technique - Multiple Shadow Clone - to defeat Mizuki.

Iruka gave Naruto his headband and congratulated him on graduating from the Ninja Academy. Iruka's actions in desperately protecting Naruto changed Naruto, guiding him away from the path of hatred towards the villagers and onto the right path.

After Konohamaru Sarutobi Naruto graduated from the Ninja Academy, Iruka became Konohamaru Sarutobi basic instructor, teaching them at the Ninja Academy. During Orochimaru Udon, Konoha Moegi Iruka for protecting the students of the Ninja Academy.

After the Third Naruto's sacrifice, Konohamaru Sarutobi broke down in tears. Iruka comforted Konohamaru Sarutobi and uttered his famous quote, reminiscing about his childhood with the Third Hokage.

By the start of the second part, Konohamaru Sarutobi's class had graduated, and the three of them joined Team Ebisu Konohamaru Sarutobi. Iruka, on the other hand, continued to teach one new class after another at the Ninja Academy.

In the Pain Invasion arc, Naruto is encouraged Naruto. Upon learning the devastating news that his mentor Jiraiya had been killed by Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Pain is plunged into grief. However, he is later encouraged by Iruka and Shikamaru, and thus regains his strength. During Pain's invasion of Konoha, Iruka is responsible for caring for the wounded and covering the evacuation of the village, but he is still discovered by Pain. Kakashi arrives in time, allowing Iruka to escape.

After Naruto defeated Pain and returned to the village, he was warmly welcomed by the villagers. When Konohamaru Sarutobi asked Iruka if he wanted to go up to him, Iruka said, "It's good to stay here and watch him."

In the Naruto training arc, Naruto. At the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War, to protect the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, Naruto and Killer B were imprisoned on Turtle Island, accompanied by Yamato and Iruka. Iruka went to Killer B take good care of Naruto.

They also tried their best to fabricate lies to prevent Naruto from escaping Turtle Island.

Unable to keep the lie any longer, Iruka had no choice but to tell Naruto the truth about the war taking place outside the island. He also secretly slipped a letter into Naruto's headband, encouraging Naruto to forge ahead.

In his letter, he wrote, "I believe that with your personality, you will rush to the battlefield without stopping, and I know your resolve. If you are reading this letter, it means that I have not been able to persuade you, nor have I been able to successfully stop you from leaving here. Not long ago, I received a mission from Tsunade to come to Turtle Island in Hidden Mist Village to stop you from escaping."

I knew you would escape before I even set off, so I wrote this letter as a precaution. Although I accepted this mission, my heart is heavy. I'm not sure if I can deliver this letter to you before you escape, but I want to tell you what's on my mind no matter what. You've left after all, and I think all I can say is—you must come back alive!

The ending, more than a decade after the Fourth Shinobi World War, Iruka Iruka the principal of the Konoha Ninja Academy. Now a senior figure, Iruka advises Konohamaru Sarutobi, who has become an excellent Jonin, to give Boruto truly matures.

Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage Naruto Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, and the reincarnation of Ashura, the second son of the Sage of Six Paths.

Naruto was born after his parents sacrificed themselves to protect the village, sealing the Nine-Tails- Tailed Beasts inside Naruto. As an orphan, Naruto faced discrimination from the villagers from a young age. However, with the encouragement of his only teacher, Iruka Umino, and the Third Naruto Hiruzen Sarutobi, he developed a dream of becoming Naruto and gaining everyone's recognition.

After becoming a ninja, he formed Team 7 with Kakashi Hatake, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno to carry out various missions.

To realize his dream and protect the bonds with his comrades, Naruto constantly trains and grows stronger. As a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the "Legendary Sannin" of Konoha, he continuously breaks through his own limits in the process of pursuing his dream, upholds his own ninja way, and gains people's recognition.

Finally, together with the Allied Shinobi Forces, Sasuke Uchiha, and Kurama (the Nine-Tails), they ended the war, bringing peace to the ninja world and realizing their dream of becoming Hokage (the Seventh Hokage) and a hero of the ninja world.

It's fair to say that without Iruka, there would be no Naruto.
