![]() ![]() Later, Naruto went into the woods to steal items from corpses. He tried to ask the Third Hokage if he could not teach Naruto, though he was eventually disabused by the notion by Kakashi Hatake. When Naruto became his student, he found it awkward to deal with the person containing the very monster responsible for his parents' death. In the original anime, it was revealed that Iruka became a teacher because he wanted to pass on the Will of Fire to the next generation in this manner, inspired by the Third Hokage's wisdom. In the anime, it was noted that due to other people giving Iruka more attention than they do to Mizuki, Mizuki's kindness to Iruka revealed to be an act just to gain the Hokage's approval, all the while making Iruka miserable discreetly. Iruka thereafter became a prankster, trying to gain attention to stave off his loneliness. He would spend his time at the monument where his parents' names were engraved, and, in his darkest moments would be cheered up by the Third Hokage. Mizuki was a childhood friend of Iruka's after the Nine-Tails Attack, and usually made him feel better. With his family gone, Iruka had no one to give him attention. He was forcibly removed from the battlefield by an unknown shinobi while he called out for his parent to no avail. His father declared that it was the parents' duty to keep their child safe from harm. Initially, a young Iruka was present on the battlefield, and wanted to stay in order to protect his mother. Iruka's parents were killed in the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack twelve years before the beginning of the series. As a result, he regards the children of the village as the backbone of Konoha - even being willing to sacrifice his own life to ensure their safety. ![]() He greatly admires both the Third Hokage who was there to help him during his troubled period as a child and believes strongly in the Will of Fire of the village. He also has a great sense of duty, honour and selflessness as seen when he protected Naruto from Mizuki's attack, suffering a shuriken wound in his back in order to protect him. Iruka's refusal to allow Naruto to graduate at first was not out of spite, but merely out of caring strictness and a desire for Naruto to work harder and reach his own potential. ![]() The two enjoy their favourite ramen dish at Ramen Ichiraku whenever Naruto returns from a mission, where Iruka gets an opportunity to see how Naruto is developing as a ninja. Due to Iruka's more nurturing, protective and compassionate nature, Naruto views him as a mentor and Iruka in turn, views Naruto as a younger brother. This allowed him to also see some of these signs and understand what they meant when displayed by Naruto. Naruto ignored all chūnin and jōnin who reprimanded him for painting all over the Hokage's faces and only showed fear when Iruka showed up.Īs a child growing up without his parents, Iruka turned to performing antics in the Academy in order to gain recognition from others who would otherwise pass him over or look at him with pity for being an orphan. Because of this, Iruka came to be one of the only adults Naruto respected in his youth as well as the only person who could control Naruto's behaviour to some degree. This is seen from his lack of hostility towards Naruto Uzumaki who was often the victim of misplaced anger at the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox who was sealed within Naruto. Despite the tragedy of losing his parents at a young age, Iruka remained a determined and strong-willed individual with a kind disposition. This however, does not mean that he is a pushover, as he can be stern when the situation calls for it most often seen when he shouts at his students in order to get them to obey him. This is most often seen through his teaching methods, often giving a watchful eye over his students as they progress. Iruka is described as being both big-hearted, and soft-hearted. He also wears black pants and black shinobi sandals. Iruka has black hair (brown in the anime) styled in a ponytail, as well as dark eyes and a scar that runs across the bridge of his nose.Īs Headmaster of the Academy, he dons a white shirt underneath a long blue high-collared, long-sleeved suit jacket, with a breast pocket and the Konohagakure symbol embroidered on the collar. ![]()
