Mundane, while I respect your decisions, could you not be in such a hurry to embarrass me in front of my students? It's the very last thing a teacher needs in his classroom to know his students find him to be more of a joke than an authority figure.

Umino Iruka. Pre-Genin Teacher at the Konoha Ninja Academy, sir.
And... with all due respect... it was somewhat bad, Shodaime-sama. I reacted poorly to a very basic perverted technique...
:D
[ And he laughs at the part where Iruka mentions bad reactions to a perverted technique~ ] Umino Iruka. [ Hashirama bends just a little to put a hand on Iruka's shoulder, a signal for him to stand up. ] There are some things about our innate human nature that are hardest to control... Don't be too hard on yourself, though.

[He nods, standing before the first Hokage.]
Yes, sir... I understand.
no subject
[ His hand slides away from Iruka's shoulder casually to hang by his side now. ]
Also... I am aware that the three vices would be women, liquor, and money, but-- [ He winks here, just really really subtly that you might even miss the wink in itself. ] It's alright to get it out of your system once in a while.
[ Shodaime has some bad advice for you, Iruka |8 ]
no subject
[Has he heard him right? Shodaime didn't really just say that.]
no subject
Well, giving yourself up to the three vices would no doubt end in quite the unpleasant predicament and would severely hinder your ability to function as a shinobi.
On the other hand, bottling it all up could be rather detrimental as well, don't you think? You do indulge in sake occasionally, don't you?
no subject
[So formal, Iruka.]
no subject
[ He may be ancient, but he had always been pretty open-minded. ]
After all, shinobi or not, we are only human.

That is rather disappointing... To know that the people of this village could be so judgmental.
Discipline is key, yet one must allow a chance to retain one's humanity. If partaken of in moderation, a little bit of the three vices shouldn't hurt. But to completely numb oneself-- That is when you stop being shinobi, and become a mere tool.
no subject
I understand.
[...what an amazing feeling... to know he was like this. To know he wouldn't judge... that he was okay with someone like Iruka not being impervious to a little bit of whatever it was that made him tumble over backward at the sight of naked women. That he would state his disappointment over those who judged others...
Truly, Shodaime was a great man.]
no subject
The village is quite different from when I remember it. Would you be kind enough to direct me to the nearest bar? [ Again, a twinkle in those eyes. He never drank as much as Tsunade, but he wouldn't refuse a good drink or two if he had the chance. And now that he was off duty... ]
And please tell me more about yourself on our way there. [ He tried not to make it sound like an order |8 ]
no subject
[He gave a bow and turned.]
What would you like to know?
no subject
[ A moment's thought and then: ] Why did you become a teacher?
no subject
When I was young, my parents died fighting a terrible monster. When I lost them, I lost a large part of myself. I started to realize how lonely, how cold the world could be to an orphan. I would play with my friends, but at the end of the day, I was all alone, curled into a ball.
I started goofing off to get people to notice me. Anything to fill the horrible, throbbing pain in my heart that couldn't be filled by my parents' love anymore...
I would often go to the memorial to cry, missing them so terribly. One day, as I was standing there, Sandaime-sama approached me. I tried to deny my tears, stating my parents were heroes, that I was honoured to be the son of those heroes, that my tears were those of joy...
[He's honestly tearing up slightly from the memory. It's a very precious memory to him now that Sandaime is...]
He asked me if I'd ever heard of The Will of Fire. I hadn't. He explained everyone in Konoha was linked by a single thread, a single want to protect our wonderful home and the people in it. That need and want to protect was the Will of Fire... and so long as I had that, I was never truly alone, because everyone was linked with me in their want to protect what they loved.
[He looked up at Shodaime, smiling.]
It was inspiring to me. When I started to do poorly in missions, Sandaime told me I was too caring, too naive, and that it would cost lives were I to stay as open as I did. I then told him I no longer want to do missions, but would rather stay behind as a teacher, helping to bring forth new ninjas who knew of the Will of Fire.
I didn't want them to grow up feeling alone or sad. I wanted them all to know of the Will of Fire.

[ Hashirama took in a deep breath then, scanning the village from where they were. It was so different from what he had been used to, but it was a good difference. He let out that breath he was holding, slowly. ]
I am glad you chose to become a teacher, Iruka-san. I am also confident that your students still hold as much respect for you as you deserve, despite the minor mishap that may have occurred today.
I believe... that you have conveyed that message to them, that which you've wanted them to know, and feel. And for that you will never lose their respect.
no subject
Haa~! It's such a nice day!!
[Turning away to be deeply moved.]
no subject
[ Oh, both eyes at once, mm? ]
...Is that why you are turning away from me~?
[ ooc: It is 10:00am and I've been up all night rofl. I think I should nap now ;D ALSO /squishes Iruka. He is adorbs =D <3 ]
no subject
[He looks back, wiping his tears.]
Thank you.
[ooc: 12:45AM here. gonna go to bed! thank you so much for playing!!]
