Iruka-x-Naruto

Iruka had been right about school; it consumed a lot of his time.  He came when he could but his visits were no longer than an hour.  His absence took a toll on Naruto.  He acted out more and started to pick fights with older kids, fights he knew he couldn't win.  He thought that if he were in trouble, maybe Iruka would somehow come to save him.  But the only person who came was Hashira, who was becoming increasingly worried about Naruto's behavior.  Everytime she dressed his wounds, she would try to console him, tell him to keep his hopes up, and to stay away from the older kids.
