When Makoto heard what Hashirama had said, he also reflected on it.
In the original story, Iruka played a crucial role. Without Iruka, Naruto might have gone down a darker path. So, it was clear that Iruka was a very good person.
[Uchiha Madara: What are you two talking about? He's so wordy. I see no difference between him and Sarutobi]
[Moderator Senju Hashirama has banned group member Uchiha Madara for three minutes!]
...…
"Don't worry, Iruka-sensei, I understand!" Makoto nodded in response to Iruka's words.
Iruka felt relieved upon hearing his words. It seemed that Makoto wouldn't be choosing Kiba as his opponent.
"Teacher, the opponent I choose is... Uchiha Sasuke!"
Iruka's face was filled with disbelief as he repeated, "Sasuke!? Are you sure you want to challenge Uchiha Sasuke? Makoto, are you really confident?"
Makoto confirmed once more, unwavering in his decision. "Yes, sensei, I'm definitely going to challenge Sasuke!"
Iruka stood there with a confused face.
After all, he had been trying to prevent Makoto from choosing Kiba as an opponent, but now, after so much back and forth, he was choosing Uchiha Sasuke? What kind of bizarre thinking was this?
The students who heard Makoto's voice were just as confused.
"Did I hear that correctly? Makoto really wants to challenge Sasuke?"
"He got arrogant after a single win. Sasuke is the top student in our grade!"
"Yeah, he beat a weakling, and now he thinks he's invincible?"
"I can't believe he's daring to challenge Sasuke! It looks like Makoto is about to get a good beating!"
As for Sasuke's fans, they were even more annoyed by Makoto.
"Who does he think he is, challenging Sasuke-kun?"
"Sasuke has been the top student since he entered school. Many students used to challenge him, but they were all beaten by him. Nowadays, no one dares challenge him anymore!
In their mind, he was the strongest, the ultimate hero in the ninja world. No one, not even the Third Hokage, could compare to him.
And now, Makoto dared to challenge Sasuke?
It was nothing more than a foolish attempt to grab attention, overestimating his own abilities, and acting like a clown!
"Is this guy crazy?"
"How dare he challenge Sasuke-kun?"
"Just let Sasuke teach him a lesson!"
...…
[Hyuga Hizashi: Fugaku, It looks like Sasuke is really popular at school.]
[Senju Tobirama: And Makoto, it seems you're not popular at all but that Sasuke kid definitely is! So many girls are cheering for him]
[Uchiha Madara: Naturally, as a member of the Uchiha clan, it's normal to be more popular and charismatic!]
[Senju Tobirama: Madara, do you have no shame at all? Didn't you say you expelled all of them from the Uchiha clan? When did you accept them again? Are they still a part of the Uchiha clan? Or did you just temporarily employ them?
When you're in need, they are your clansmen, and When you aren't, they are strangers?]
[Makoto Ito: Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with what Madara said. The charm of the Uchiha family is undeniable!]
[Senju Tobirama: What do you mean by that?]
[Makoto Ito: If the Uchiha clan wasn't charming, how else would Madara captivate your older brother, Senju Hashirama?]
[Senju Tobirama: Hahahaha! Boy, you've got a point there! When it comes to charm, the Uchiha clan is the strongest!]
[Senju Hashirama: ...…]
[Uchiha Madara: TOBIRAMA!!]
...…
Back in the classroom, Iruka confirmed again with Makoto. "Makoto, are you really sure you want to challenge Uchiha Sasuke?"
Makoto nodded his head firmly, feeling a bit exasperated.
"Yes, Iruka-sensei, I'm absolutely sure. The opponent I'm choosing is Uchiha Sasuke!"
Iruka sighed, shaking his head helplessly.
"Alright, now that you've made up your mind, Sasuke, you're up. Makoto is challenging you!"
Sasuke, who had been standing in the crowd, let out a cold snort. "Hmph!"
Clearly, Sasuke wasn't happy about Makoto's challenge. After all, Makoto was just a loser. Who gave him the courage to challenge Sasuke?
How dare Makoto challenge him, the pride of the Uchiha clan? Who did he think he was?
With a dismissive snort, Sasuke slowly walked out of the crowd, hands in his pockets, his head lowered.
Makoto couldn't help but feel a little amused.
[Makoto Ito: is this Uchiha's way of showing off? When it comes to flaunting, I think Sasuke is the best!]
Sasuke's actions drew the attention of countless admirers, their eyes glued to him.
As he stepped onto the stage, Sasuke glared at Makoto. "I honestly didn't expect you to challenge me. I didn't think you'd be this stupid."
Clearly, Sasuke didn't take Makoto seriously at all.
Makoto was slightly annoyed with Sasuke's attitude. "Haha! I thought the same. I didn't think you were stupid enough to accept my challenge."
Iruka, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but shake his head in disbelief.
Why did his students always seem to outdo each other in craziness?
[Senju Tobirama: Damn, he is so arrogant at his age. He really deserves to be from the Uchiha clan, just like Uchiha Madara. They're so irritating as hell. Just looking at them makes me angry. Makoto, please give him a good beating!]
