Moyu continued his explanation calmly, his tone steady and deliberate. What mattered most was that they could truly understand, not merely hear. Fortunately, comprehension was finally dawning upon them. At last, they realized they could not be too hasty—rushing the flow of energy would only scatter it further from reach.
Meanwhile, in the distance, Iruka watched in growing unease. His expression hardened as his eyes fixed on the unfamiliar figure with Naruto and Sasuke. There was something unnatural about this scene. The boy hadn't gone home after class but had instead slipped away into the woods behind the academy. And now, here he was, speaking intimately with a stranger whose very presence stirred a vague sense of danger.
"Who is that man?" Iruka muttered under his breath, suspicion tightening his voice. His instincts as a teacher flared, and without hesitation, he stepped forward.
Iruka was no ordinary instructor; his movement technique—known in the academy as the Roar of Love—combined sudden bursts of chakra with raw emotion, unleashing power through sheer will. As he launched himself toward Moyu, his form blurred, a sharp current of force rushing through the air.
But before the attack could connect, Moyu's body flickered. A faint shimmer in the air—and he was gone. Iruka's strike hit nothing but a fading afterimage, his momentum cracking the air itself.
Moyu reappeared several meters away, standing with composed detachment, his gaze already fixed on Iruka. Recognition glimmered briefly in his eyes. So this was Naruto's teacher.
The attack hadn't angered him, merely puzzled him. To be assaulted without warning was surprising, but not threatening. He tilted his head slightly, studying Iruka as if analyzing a passing anomaly.
The Roar of Love relied on both power and heart, but to Moyu's eyes, it was a reckless, unrefined strike—one that depended more on emotion than technique. His spiritual perception easily caught the buildup before the attack. He had reacted instinctively, stepping aside at the precise moment the force broke loose.
Iruka, on the other hand, was left momentarily stunned. His eyes widened as he realized the man before him had evaded effortlessly, as though the assault had been nothing more than a slow breeze.
Naruto and Sasuke stood rooted in shock.
"Did I see that right?" Naruto stammered. "He just dodged Iruka-sensei's attack like it was nothing!" His voice trembled between awe and disbelief.
The reality of what they'd witnessed seemed almost impossible. One moment, their teacher's strike had been fast enough to blur; the next, Moyu had simply not been there.
Excitement sparked in their eyes, mixing with confusion and admiration. Their pulses raced as though they had witnessed something beyond their world's boundary.
"It's unreal…" Sasuke murmured quietly. "He didn't even flinch."
Moyu, meanwhile, remained calm, as though nothing had happened. His stance relaxed, his presence unshaken, every movement precise and restrained. There was no arrogance in his composure—only quiet confidence.
Even when Iruka's gaze turned wary, Moyu's expression didn't change. He had no interest in conflict, yet his natural bearing was enough to make even a trained instructor hesitate.
Naruto and Sasuke could barely contain themselves. Their teacher's strength, once something to look up to, now seemed fragile in comparison. What Moyu displayed in that instant was not brute force but control—the kind that transcended ordinary skill.
Iruka's eyes flickered uncertainly. His heart raced, though he tried not to show it. He could sense it now—the faint, invisible pressure around Moyu. Not malice, but something vast and ancient, like standing at the edge of a deep sea.
He exhaled quietly, lowering his stance. The truth was obvious. His strength was not high enough to measure against this man.
