The instructor of the Academy, Iruka, was the only one who could control Naruto’s behavior, though to some extent, as Naruto respected him. He is a big softie and keeps an eye on his students as they progress.
Iruka considers the children of the village as the backbone of Konoha. He was the first to acknowledge Naruto, which is why Naruto asked him to stand in as his father during Naruto’s wedding.
Final Thoughts
Teachers are important in life as they motivate students and help them achieve their goals. They are the ones who help the students differentiate between the good and the bad. Anime makes us desire these teachers in real life, but reality hits so hard.
These teachers have helped their students become their best, all the while ensuring they take the right path and take responsibility for their actions. The reason the characters have become strong is all thanks to their teachers and hard work.
