In fact, later in the Boruto series, as he became the headmaster of the Ninja Academy, he still was single. Nope, not anywhere in the Naruto and Naruto Shippuden series, had Iruka Umino get married. Does Iruka Umino ever get married in Naruto? Iruka was once like Naruto where he pranked people for attention and knew how Naruto was feeling. Iruka didn’t particularly hate Naruto, but he initially found it difficult to teach him as Naruto had the Nine tail inside him that killed Iruka’s parents. Actually, Jiraiya created the bridge between Naruto’s childhood and teen-hood. So, what about Jiraiya? Well, Jiraiya enriched him philosophically and physically too. Kakashi was looking after his physical health. Jiraiya is the Einstein and Kakashi is Nikola Tesla. If I were to give an analogy about this, I would say: Iruka is Newton to Naruto. Therefore, it was quite obvious who he would ask to be his dad in the ceremony. And as for his former teacher Iruka Umino, he became more of a guardian to Naruto. So basically, after graduating from the academy, Kakashi was Naruto’s teacher.
#IRUKA SENSEI SERIES#
But, as we have seen multiple times in the series that whenever Naruto got emotionally unstable, he calls for Iruka sensei and has a bowl of ramen in Ichiraku’s ramen shop. Well, Iruka and Kakashi hold two different places in Naruto’s heart. Why Iruka as Naruto’s dad? Why not Kakashi? However, it was no surprise to anyone at all.Īs for Iruka sensei, he was Naruto’s guardian. Always, from the beginning of the series (episode 1) to the end of the series (Shippuden 500/ Marriage) Iruka was Naruto’s guardian. He cared deeply for Naruto but never imagined Naruto would ask him. It was quite an emotional moment for Iruka. In the 499 episodes of Naruto Shippuden Naruto asked Iruka sensei to attend his marriage ceremony as his dad. Naruto asks Iruka to attend the Marriage Ceremony as his Dad It is definitely a sign of how close Iruka is to Naruto. And Iruka never minds paying for Naruto’s meal (ramen) or a popsicle. Whenever Naruto is sad, happy, angry, or disturbed, all he needed was just a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen or a popsicle. Iruka never minds paying for Naruto’s meal He was there as a guardian to console and support Naruto after losing someone close to him. In the evening, when Naruto was crying silently sitting on the bench, we saw Iruka sensei approached Naruto to console him. However, there was literally no one else who could comfort Naruto. Remember the time when Naruto got the news of Jiraiya’s death? He was in serious grief and sorrow at that time. And so it didn’t have any major impact upon Naruto. But, he didn’t have that much interaction. The Ramen Guy Teuchi was the one who also cared for Naruto.But, as she didn’t declare it in front of Naruto, Naruto had no idea about that. Hinata was the one who noticed and cared for Naruto even before that.Now, there could possibly be two arguments. Fortunately, he did, and Iruka sensei is the first person among them who cared for Naruto. He himself stated that he could easily be diverted to that murderous path if he didn’t have someone who cared for him. As we all seen Gaara as a twisted kid because of the way the people treated him. This is the turning point for Naruto to not become another Gaara. Later, as Iruka acknowledged him as one of his dear students, not a demon fox Naruto was able to see a person who truly loves and cares about him and who treats him as a person, not a Fox Beast. That was the first time Naruto noticed how much Iruka cared about him. He fought Mizuki and protected Naruto with his body. Iruka quickly guessed and headed to where Naruto might be to rescue him. The scroll was about multi-shadow clone Jutsu. Mizuki used him to steal one of the hidden scrolls from the Hokage’s office.
