Chapter 10: Problems

Iruka, Naruto and Hinata walked peacefully to Ichiraku's Ramen Stand, a thank you from Iruka for Naruto and Hinata saving his life. Iruka got injured by the shuriken rain but Hinata did a wonderful job healing them. Naruto, Iruka and Hinata sat down at the ramen stand.

"OI, Old Man, come here I'm hungry" - Naruto yelled.

"Oh, Naruto glad to see you and Hinata" - Teuchi said and both nodded.

"OK, since Iruka-sensei is paying you can start with 10 bowls of pork ramen for me" - Naruto said and Iruka widened his eyes thinking if it was a good idea offering him dinner.

"I'll take 2 bowls of vegetable ramen" - Hinata said.

"I'll take one bowl of shrimp ramen. Say Hinata?" - Iruka said getting her attention "Were you faking with Naruto since the beginning?" - Iruka asked.

"Of course, you actually don't know but we are boyfriend and girlfriend" - she said giving Naruto a kiss on the cheek making the blonde blush.

"Who would've thought? DAMN, you are some good actors" - Iruka said getting chuckles from both of them. "Why did you hide your strength even your relationship?" - Iruka asked.

"You know that I'm the kyuubi jinchuuriki right?" - Naruto asked and Iruka nodded "And pretty much all the villagers and almost all of the shinobi hate me for carrying him. To them I'm a painful reminder on that night. You know that they tried to hurt or kill me many times. If the civilian council knew how strong I was they would do everything they could to stop that the 'demon' from getting strong." - He said

"The reason I decided to hide our relationship was pretty much the same reason. They would try and hurt her as well. I've already heard some calling her 'demon whore', and I'll be damned if I would let anyone hurt her, I would faster burn this village to the ground than allow anyone to place their hands on her. So we decided to stay in the shadows until we were strong enough to protect ourselves" - he concluded.

Iruka was surprise how the number 1 knucklehead thought of everything. He would never in a million of years think the Naruto was so clever and insightful.

"You certainly fooled me" - Iruka said and everyone laughed. They started eating calmly. "And you Hinata, I get the feeling that you are not the shy girl" - he said pointing to her. She giggled and answered.

"I was shy when I first met Naruto but over the years I grew out of it thanks to him. Also who did you think helped him in his pranks" - she said laughing and Iruka jaw dropped. "Actually I kinda liked acting shy and letting everyone else brag about how good they are".

"How strong are you really?" - Iruka asked in a serious tone.

"Well we've never matched against anyone other than ourselves but the furball says we are around jonin in terms of Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, I suck at genjutsu so around low chunnin in that. Other than that I'm level 10 seal master." - Naruto explained and of course Iruka didn't even know what to say, poor guy.

"Wait, if you are jonin level how the hell can't you do a single bushin" - Iruka asked and Naruto chuckled.

"Well, you see one side effect of having a bijuu sealed in you when you are young is that you tend to develop large chakra reserves. I estimate I have about 4 times more chakra than jiji so ,even though I have jonin level chakra control, I still have too much chakra to perform a single bushin." - Naruto explained.

Iruka didn't know what to think or do. The academy dead last was jonin level, had 4 times to hokage chakra reserve and was a seal master, besides all that he had a matured sharingan. Iruka did what he could do and fainted.
