Iruka is getting bloody annoying. Not only does his whole character scream the message of being content with mediocrity and taking it easy (when all the more interesting characters feel they could and should get much more powerful even if they get killed in the process) but he's also like some inane kindergarden teacher who can't talk about anything else but how "his kids" are growing up and how fine they have become and how hard they are trying - yet they are still "his kids" despite the fact he's already himself so far below them.

I wish Akatsuki would kill Iruka (not target him specifically of course; I doubt they even know such a worm exist) and that would drive Naruto madder and make him use more kyuubi power.
