Chapter 109 Age Difference

"Teacher Iruka!" On the hospital bed, Qin's expression was like an afternoon thunderstorm that had just ended, seamlessly transitioning to the sun shining across the earth, and the rain turned to clear weather at the speed of light.

This speed of face-changing is enough for Chuan to practice for two and a half years.

"I heard from the doctor that you didn't have breakfast?" Iruka switched to teacher mode and pointed fingers at the bad boy who had irregular eating habits.

"Hmm..." Qin lowered her head, looking like she had obeyed the rules.

But Luo Yi always felt that his acting was not good enough.

How can this be "I have been honest, please let me go", it's clearly "I have been honest, please continue", okay?

"I'm not saying anything bad about you," usually when a teacher says this, he will start by saying, "When you were admitted to the hospital yesterday, the doctor determined that you hadn't eaten or drunk anything for at least 24 hours. If you don't follow the doctor's advice and eat on time and in the right amount, your body may suffer irreversible damage."

"Hehe..." The girl couldn't help it after all. It turned out that she lowered her head to hide the upturned corners of her mouth.

"You're still laughing? You're not going to change it, are you? Today, I'll be watching you eat!" Iruka's face turned red instantly, and he put breakfast on the small table. "Eat six small meals a day, and drink one liter of water. Start eating now."

“Oh…” Qin, who was criticized, pretended to be obedient and reached for the paper bag containing the buns.

After being scolded, I feel that my appetite has increased a lot.

Luo Yi remembered the classic line, "A wise hunter will ignore it." He looked at the girl on the hospital bed with ulterior motives in horror. Is there really no one who can see what she is thinking?

Look at Iruka again, he looks exactly like a teacher supervising bad kids, his eyes are so clear that the spirit of teacher ethics is burning.

It’s broken, but it really exists.

Hanabi looked left and right, wondering why these people's heart rates and blood pressure kept changing. It was strange.

...

Breakfast only takes a few minutes.

"Hanabi, Mr. Iruka, could you please wait outside for a while? I have some questions for Jean Hammer." Now that he was here, Luo Yi decided to get clues from the girls.

"Ok."

"no problem."

The door of the ward was closed. Luo Yi considered for a while and decided to get straight to the point. "If you want to stay in Konoha, tell me everything you know."

The experienced Ibiki thought there was no need for torture, and he decided to negotiate from the perspective of a teacher.

As expected, when Qin heard that she could "live in Konoha", her eyes and expression changed again and again.

She was born in the Land of Rice, and like many of her peers, she was a baby boomer after the Third World War. Unfortunately, unlike the big countries, the Land of Rice, as a small country, could not achieve peace and was still used as a battlefield for the big countries to fight overtly and covertly.

So Qin unfortunately became an orphan and struggled to survive for a long time until she was taken in by Orochimaru and joined the newly established Sound Village.

In her limited understanding, the world was cruel, cold and dark, and was naturally hostile to peaceful big countries built on the suffering of small countries.

Receiving the mission to sneak into Konoha and sabotage was something he felt at ease and even wanted.

Orochimaru once raised and encouraged her, but after being told that she was just an abandoned child, Qin realized that too many people were just hypocrites, and that a moment of kindness would cost her life.

After escaping the fate of being a sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation, she was no longer willing to accept or believe in anyone's kindness, whether true or false, or whether or not she asked for anything in return.

Then she was severely scolded by the young man who had awakened her in the first place.

"I can feel that Mr. Iruka really cares about me and will be angry if I don't listen." Qin Lu showed...how to describe it, a slightly intoxicated expression, and her eyes began to become unfocused.

Luo Yi was stunned when he heard this.

Big Socks, you are showing very dangerous signs.

Moreover, Iruka is just like that. If students do something wrong, he can be more anxious than a parent.

Although his teaching talent is average, his teacher ethics are far superior to Luo Yi.

Who still remembers that Mr. Luo’s “teacher ethics” is a formal requirement?

"Ahem... You are not injured or sick, you are just weak. You can be discharged after one more day of observation in the hospital... provided that you have a regular diet and rest schedule." Luo Yi's original body rarely performs his duties as a doctor.

"Teacher Iruka criticized me, I will eat well today." Qin is like a good child who can correct his mistakes, "So I hope the teacher can criticize me tomorrow..."

Doctor Luo made a hasty judgment. She was not injured, but she was sick.

"You two, I have finished my questioning." Luo Yi opened the door nervously and motioned for the teachers and students standing in the corridor to come in. "The situation is like this. There is a problem but it is not serious. I just need Mr. Iruka's cooperation."

"Okay, I'll fully cooperate." Iruka agreed without hesitation, completely unaware of what was waiting for him next.

"Qin. Hammer intends to join Konoha, but due to his former status as a former Otogakure, he needs an observer." Luo Yi struggled to organize his words, "I think Mr. Iruka is suitable for this task."

"Ah? Me?" Iruka opened his mouth so wide that a whole bun could fit in.

He looked at the girl on the hospital bed in disbelief and found that she not only showed no resistance, but was looking at him eagerly.

There have been cases in the past where ninjas from rival ninja villages joined Konoha, and Konoha was also happy to absorb combat forces who truly surrendered, so the "observer system" came into being.

Just because they need to be closely monitored 24 hours a day, all of them are arranged to be of the same gender.

"I believe that Mr. Iruka is capable of doing the job. There is still some time before the new school term. Of course, you can also bring him to school to help after school starts?" Luo Yi suggested casually.

"Just like...Sensei Momo and Sensei Shiro..." Iruka's heart skipped a beat when he thought of Zabuza.

By the way, when he learned that Zabuza really became a taijutsu teacher after returning to the Land of Waves, he was shocked again.

Schools can reform people better than prisons.

Although Luo Yi's initial plan was just to keep it within his field of vision to facilitate dealing with unexpected changes.

"Okay, since you said so." Iruka believed that Luo Yi must have a deep meaning behind his suggestion, so he said frankly, "Qin, we will be together day and night for the next month, I hope you don't mind."

"Great...Okay, I got it." This time, after a long period of psychological preparation, Qin controlled the corners of her mouth.

...

Luo Yi and Hanabi were on their way out of the hospital and back to the Hyuga family's home.

"I hope this arrangement won't cause any trouble. To be honest, Iruka-sensei's strength isn't that strong. I don't know if he has the energy to deal with any anomalies."

"I can "see" what that sister thinks of Konoha and what she thinks of Iruka-sensei, so don't worry."

A person's malice cannot be hidden in front of the Byakugan, let alone the Byakugan that has gradually evolved into the Samsaragan.

"That's not what I meant," Luo Yi explained with a wry smile, "I'm just worried that the older sister might be suffering from the 'suspension bridge effect', or that she's just being a big brother. Besides, isn't the age gap between them a bit too big..."

"Huh, Luo Yi doesn't understand, right?" Hua Huo shook her finger like a little adult, "Love in times of adversity is still love, and as long as you really love someone, what does it matter if there's a big age gap?"

"It's almost acceptable, but there's at least a 10-year age difference between them." Luo Yi frowned and felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Tsk... Even if Luo Yi is 20 years older than me, I will still like him." The little girl took a few quick steps on her own, then turned around on tiptoe, folding her hands behind her waist, "What about Luo Yi, will he think I'm a child and dislike me?"

Luo Yi was stunned when he heard this, and he stopped, looking at the little girl in front of him with some surprise, and her long black hair fluttering in the wind.

Did she find out?

That’s right, how can a 9-year-old kid know so many things and have such an old-fashioned mentality?

Is there anything I can hide from her?

"Actually, I already..." Luo Yi started by confessing.

"I don't want to know." Hua Huo jumped up and stretched out her index finger to touch his lips. "I won't listen to things I don't want to know. I will ask myself about things I want to know. What I want to know now is, is Luo Yi's "love" for me the kind of love that an older brother has for a younger sister, rather than the kind of love that is in a marriage contract?"

Luo Yi looked into the little girl's eyes and found that she had not activated the function of her insight eyes. In other words, she would not be able to see through lies at this time.

With Hanabi now being able to use her Byakugan with almost no outward manifestation and no internal consumption, she can keep it enabled around the clock to observe whether others are lying.

She is useless now. Is she afraid that Luo Yi will lie?

Or, she would rather hear lies than know that Luo Yi's love is just that of an "older brother"?

Luo Yi hugged her gently, then leaned close to her fair ears and whispered, "If Hua Huo still likes me when she grows up, we will fulfill our engagement."
