Umino Iruka

Umino Iruka , or whom Naruto used to call as "Iruka-sensei" , is such a sweet character. He’s been like a father to Naruto since Naruto was still in Ninja Academy. And I think I haven’t really seen him on the manga for a while since Naruto Part 2 (Naruto Shippuuden as anime).

Since Jiraiya took place in training Naruto, Naruto seemed to be closer to Jiraiya rather than Iruka whom he recalled as "the first person" to ever acknowledge him (though seemed like Naruto never forgets his sensei).

Now that Jiraiya has died, seemed like Iruka’s character comes back to light, to replace what has been missing in Naruto’s life.

Naruto manga chapter 405 especially highlighted this. And I especially loved it when Iruka split the ice-cream into two; half for him, another half for Naruto, while citing how Jiraiya always complimented Naruto even when Naruto wasn’t around.

Sob sob.. I think that was especially sad!

But other than that, what interesting is the "code" that Jiraiya left for Konoha to translate. The code is;

9,31,8

106,7

207,15

What’s the meaning of this code? We only get to find that on next chapter, chapter 406! But in the meantime, any idea, guys???
