"Iruka-sensei, you're really perceptive. These two are indeed my teammates. This is Satō Maji, and this is Hyūga Jō."
Lin Guang introduced them.
"Hello, Iruka-sensei."
Satō Maji and Hyūga Jō were both very polite.
"Haha, hello. What would you like to eat? My treat."
Iruka generously offered to cover everything.
"Iruka-sensei, if we hadn't run into Lin Guang, we'd let you pay, but since he's here, let him treat us!"

Lin Guang said with a smile.
"All right, then. That's very thoughtful of you!"
Seeing how well Lin Guang had done for himself, Iruka felt very gratified.
Of all the students he had taught, Lin Guang and Naruto were the
