The voices of cicadas could be heard from the schoolyard in the academy classroom.
Class A where the best ninja clan children can attend.
Today Umino Iruka took a different approach to teaching he's students. It's about some hypothetical questions that he thought this morning.
"If the end of the world was coming tomorrow, who would you want to be with?"
When Umino Iruka asked this question from the front of the room, Though many of the student still distracted with what ever they are still doing. But most of them paid attention to his question. Unfortunately one student Uzumaki Naruto burst out.
"There's no way the end of the world is coming!" And huffed in his seat.
Iruka sensei one the other hand not irritated yet,
gave him another question.
"Say for instance… if the moon was falling," Iruka responded to his class.
And one fat student spoke his mind
"If it was the last day on earth, it would be nice if meat was falling instead of the moon."
The classroom was filled with laughter at the words of Akimichi Chouji, who was looking up at
the ceiling.
"Even if the moon was falling, I would protect you, Sakura-chan!" Naruto said brimming with
confidence to Haruno Sakura, who was in the seat next to him.
"Why by you? I'd rather not be protected!"
Sakura replied disgustingly and turned the other way to see Uchiha Sasuke.
"Alright. Now everyone write down a name. For the last day on earth… who would you want to
be with? Want to take your time on it? Write down that person's name."
The students became slightly excited and picked up their pencils. Except for a another student. He was seating in the very last and near the window, Looking out side and seems like he's in his own world. Even though he may not look like paying attention l, in actuality he's paying attention to every detail of his surroundings. Because as a sensor he can get every detail from the chakra reading of his surroundings.
"Your sensei won't look at this. It will be your own secret. So I want you to write your honest
feelings." Iruka sensei spoke to assure the student if they feel shy to write down their Loved one's.
Amongst students Only Naruto become curious as to what name everyone was writing, and looked around. There were
many kids who wrote "Dad" or "Mom." This was only natural in a class full of children.
I don't know my dad or mom…"
Iruka sensei was nearby and heard him speaking it.
"I'm sure there has to be someone… just honestly write down whatever name pops into your
head," Iruka whispered as he came over to Naruto and patted his head.
Whatever name pops into my head… who could I say?
Naruto couldn't come up with anyone at all. Naruto stuck his pencil under his nose and sat filled
with worries.
Sakura wrote down "Uchiha Sasuke-kun" while blushing.
Sasuke on the other hand, was resting his chin on his hands and staring out the window.
I don't have any friends, either… I'm completely alone.
Still unable to write anything, Naruto got upset and gradually became desperate. He then folded
his blank paper into an airplane, and suddenly tossed it out the window.
"Hey Naruto! Don't throw away your paper!" Iruka shouted.
"But there's no way the end of the world is coming!" Naruto shouted back.
And Iruka sensei didn't back down
"We're talking about what if the world was ending!"
"It's not ending!" Then he escaped the class and it became silent again.
The paper airplane soared through the air. Following the airplane with her eyes, Hinata took a
quick glance at Naruto and smiled, then began to write down someone's name.
Then she looked at green haired boy seating next to her. The same boy she meet few days ago.
" Umm ....ano... sensei told us to write down someone's name that you want to spend your last moment". She told the boy. she still doesn't know his name.
" Yes I have heard that loud and clear." The boy replied without facing at her direction. After a few moment later he stood up. And Hinata thought that she might have disturbed him.
"Iruka sensei!"
"Yes, Shimura Genji Kun, do you have any question?"
"No, It's just I don't want to write someone's name that is going die with me." he said in a serious manner.
"Oh, it's okay Genji Kun, But may I ask why ? Because I already told everyone that I won't be looking any of your paper."
This caused everyone to look at the boy curiously. Now they also wants to know why the boy don't want to write just a simple name of loved one.
"To answer your question sensei, I don't want someone to die along side with. I would rather search for any alternative solution to live, if the Moon actually crashed into the world."
The boy answered, clever.... But Iruka saw no point in it. Because if the Moon really crashed on the surface then nothing can be done. It's better to spend the last precious moment with someone then, trying to do something that can't be done.
" It's just a hypothetical question. There is no be so serious Genji Kun and you don't have to write it down if you don't want to." Iruka told the boy and signaled him to seat down.
" Well, sensei. I do have some hypothetical answer to that."
" Oh ... Then let's hear it."
" Well,
1. If we received some form of early warning and have enough time we should get going to the other side of the world. If the world not fully destroyed then there is a chance to survive.
And option 2: We should create a super weapon aka WMD that can destroy the falling debris or the moon itself before it's crashes. Or a big chakra shield that can protect the entire village.
And option 3: Transport everyone to the spirit world of the sage's. or the world that the summons are coming from.
I know that it's sounds impossible but it's still better than just dying and it doesn't matter if you die along or in someone's company. As a Shinobi we must endure the hardship."
Everyone in the class is silent. And The voices of cicadas could be heard from the schoolyard in the academy classroom.
" Thank you Genji Kun. it seems you have very interesting imaginations. And what you said is true. A Shinobi must endure. Who knows your hypothetical answer might save us from extinction." Then he took all papers from his students and the bell rang and Iruka announced it time for the Taijutsu class.
