Eight Extremes Heaven

Ninja Academy.

Office.

"Tonbo-sensei, long time no see." Seeing Tobitake Tonbo, Iruka wore a look of joy on his face.

He immediately hurried up to greet him.

It really had been a long time.

Tobitake Tonbo was busy now, and after becoming the head dean, he was busy too.

He did not even have time for casual chats with former teammates and classmates like Teksen Shiso and Mibu Shinobu.

"Long time no see, Iruka. You have even become the head dean—not bad. Keep up the hard work in the future."

He kept hearing about retirement, but he had never felt any sense of it.

I am a successor of the Will of Fire, and passing down the Will of Fire right now is also something I love to do."

Tobitake Tonbo spoke up.
