Chapter 015 Iruka is getting married, and the object is Utatane Koharu? !

Iruka walked dejectedly through the corridors of the Hokage Building, wishing he could bury his head in the library. Though the recent incident had not yet spread, he felt that everyone passing by looked at him with blatant contempt.

If he had a choice, he would find an empty corner to hide and weather this storm first.

As for change?

Sorry, it's impossible to change, not even in this lifetime.

Eating and sex are human nature, and this is the only pleasure in his life.

**Knock knock knock!**

Arriving at the Hokage's office, Iruka calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

After the Hokage summoned him, he scolded him for a long time.

But it was mostly just venting anger, nothing substantial.

If Iruka wants to continue teaching at the ninja school, he must ask for forgiveness from the Hokage and sign a letter of understanding.

In this way, Iruka will still receive a serious warning and be placed under observation, making it difficult for him to regain a prominent role in the school.

Of course, it would be great if Iruka chose to resign. The principal and other teachers would prefer him to leave as soon as possible.

After what happened, it would be embarrassing to continue working with Iruka.

"Come in!"

Soon, the voice of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen echoed in the office.

The old man was busy covering his new work with something. Observing Iruka's unhappy expression as he walked in from outside, the old man chuckled and said, "Ah, Iruka, what can I do for you?"

"I'm very sorry, Lord Hokage, to disappoint you!" Iruka bowed deeply and said, "I'm here to take responsibility and apologize!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed no surprise. As the Hokage, he must have already known about what happened at the school.

Just as Sasuke had initially anticipated, the Hokage had no intention of pursuing the matter of Sasuke impersonating him, and he hadn't even informed anyone else about it.

After all, the primary responsibility for the incident lay with Iruka, and Sasuke had prevented a serious mistake.

Although the method was inappropriate, considering Sasuke's young age, the merits and demerits balanced each other out.

"Iruka!" Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled smoke and said slowly, "I understand your feelings. Everyone has a devil in their heart that can drive people to do irrational things."

Moved, Iruka replied, "I understand, Sandaime-sama! I will do my best to control myself in the future and not let the devil in my heart affect my behavior. I will also find a way to eliminate it!"

His touching response moved the Hokage, who didn't blame him and instead helped him analyze the situation.

Iruka used to think he would never change and didn't need to change, but now he felt ashamed of that mindset.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

Reflecting, the Hokage acknowledged that the devil in his heart often led him to act irrationally.

In this regard, Sandaime couldn't claim experience, only expertise.

"Iruka!" Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly refocused and said, "Let's put this matter behind us. I'll instruct the school staff to keep it quiet and not mention it again."

Taking the confession letter Iruka had brought, he swiftly signed it, signifying his forgiveness.

"Thank you, Third Hokage!" Touched, Iruka burst into tears and silently vowed to repay the Third Hokage's kindness with everything he had.

"I also understand that at your age, certain impulses are stronger. I empathize completely." Sandaime's understanding of Iruka's behavior was a reflection of his own experiences.

After a pause, he suggested, "How about this? I arrange a marriage for you?"

"How could that be possible?" Iruka was shocked.

He wasn't opposed in his heart, but felt embarrassed.

Seeing through Iruka's thoughts, the Third Hokage smiled knowingly but said nothing, merely clapping his hands.

Swish!

The office door swung open, and a figure entered slowly. Her face bore a kind and gentle smile, despite her age.

Surprised, Iruka's expression turned to one of horror.

He'd thought it was good news, but had it actually plunged him into the depths of despair?

Could it be that the Third Hokage's earlier demeanor was all a facade, and he still wouldn't forgive him?

"Sarutobi, you summoned me here. Is something wrong?" Utane Koharu glanced at Iruka beside her, her attention elsewhere, before turning to the Sandaime.

In that quick glance, Iruka seemed to detect hidden amusement.

Outrage!

No matter what, he couldn't agree to this!

He wasn't afraid even if he was torn apart; he had to retain his innocence in this world!

Panic, fear, sorrow, anger, despair...

In a moment, a torrent of negative emotions overwhelmed Iruka, pushing him further toward the abyss.

"Oh, Koharu-chan is here. Please wait a moment; I still have matters to discuss!" Sandaime motioned for Koharu to wait and glanced outside the door.

The next moment, another figure entered the office.

This time, it was a young woman about twenty years old. She wasn't stunningly beautiful, but she possessed the natural attractiveness of a woman, akin to those who serve drinks in pubs.

The sight of her ignited a spark of hope in Iruka. He realized he'd misunderstood earlier. As he breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a twinge of anticipation.

A loser like him, with no house, car, skills, or prospects, would likely live alone unless something unexpected happened.

Now, the Hokage was arranging a wife for him. As long as she was suitable, he'd accept eagerly; he couldn't wait.

With a wife, he could better suppress the devil in his heart and perhaps even exorcise it.

Yes, everything was to combat the demon in his heart!

"Hokage, Sarutobi Eiko reporting!" The woman stood tall, facing forward.

Iruka stole a glance at her. Her figure wasn't as alluring as Naruko's, and her complexion wasn't as fair. She was simply average.

Her demeanor seemed somewhat rigid, and her life likely less thrilling.

Yet, since she was a woman after all, Iruka could accept her.

The Hokage smiled and nodded, introducing them both and outlining his intentions.

Sarutobi Eiko was the bride chosen for Iruka, and the arrangement included his marrying into the Sarutobi clan.

Glancing at Iruka, Sarutobi Eiko raised no objections. Iruka, likewise, accepted the idea of marrying into the clan, and thus the decision was made abruptly and without further discussion.

"In that case, you may both leave. I have other matters to discuss with the dormitory transfer advisor!" The Hokage waved them away, leaving them to bond on their own.

But no matter how you looked at it, it seemed they were eager to rush people out.
