"Naruto Uzumaki!" I hear my brother's name being called out.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIczBi9DXG
It's already his turn to perform the graduation test in the other room. I stand up with him and then walk to the door just as he does.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhXBeIVDu5
"Where you goin'? He asks.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD7RbRjL3g
"To where you're headed." I reply.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOdwL8ICYq
"You do know it's still my turn, right?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFHfkoCGTL
I give him a side glance, deadpanning. "Yes, I do." I mutter. "I'll just wait outside till you're done. I'll be called out next anyway."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Wqn73ggh
He shrugs. "Okay. Whatever." He says.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AUcqMU72r
In no time, we reach the door of the room where the test is held. I wait out the door, leaning myself on the wall, and letting my twin enter.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv03zyUKgK
"Yo! Iruka-sensei! Mizuki-sensei!" Naruto shouts energetically at the two teachers in front of him.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtyfNFZuep
"Okay, Naruto." Iruka-sensei says seriously. "Earn yourself a head protector."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu2MRfB5yx
"YOSH! I will do my best! Believe it!" Naruto exclaims as he prepares himself, hand sign on the ready. "Bunshin no Jutsu!" He yells.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsV8D3MQRu
I close my eyes, sensing the events that occur within the room that they are in. That's when I sense Naruto put a little extra chakra into the technique he is performing, resulting with a rather wobbly clone. I smirk. *Well that was unexpected.* It seems he plans to flunk this test.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy30iiUWWy
"Naruto, you fail!" Iruka-sensei says in a disappointed tone.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI5SEMILDw
"B-but, Iruka-sensei!" Naruto shouts in a panicked tone. "I.. I did my best! Believe it!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78rkUaWwT5
Iruka-sensei crosses his arms. "Oh I believe it, Naruto." He says. "But your best wasn't enough."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4XufzsKNx
I hear Naruto heave a frustrated sigh and then grumble something I did not hear.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5trqownEvY
"Iruka-san, why not give the kid a break?" Mizuki says with concern. This gets my attention. "He did his best and even made a clone. Why not let him graduate?" He adds, still with feigned concern.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKvVmV6KCD
I continue to sense what happens. Iruka-sensei sighs. "No, Mizuki. The others have created at least three clones. Naruto may have created one, but it is useless. " He says. "Now go Naruto. My decision remains the same. You are a failure!" He adds with finality.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCuwcE1RoA
*Ouch.* Such harsh words. If only they were true. Naruto comes out the door and walks past me sadly. But I cannot miss the smirk he secretly sends at me. Seems he's enjoying himself.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8U3yaU6rp
"Minashi Uzumaki!" I hear my name being called so, I step into the room in an uninterested manner. Once I stop in the middle, I just stare at both Iruka and Mizuki. 755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIksywVRwZ
"Good Morning, Minashi-san." Mizuki greets, a smile forming on his lips. "How are you today?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PG9ztDWht
"Sleepy." I mutter sleepily.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdsA0qedVR
"Well. Well." Iruka-sensei says, narrowing his eyes at me. "I hope you've been up late, practicing the test and I hope you'll turn out better than your brother." He adds in a mocking tone.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJfd5UFMU6
"If I didn't practice, I'd fail." I tell him. "And that means going through your boring lessons all over again."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHroFcBfkSI
This makes Iruka grow an anime vein. "There you go again, getting on my nerves." He says angrily.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWxFQLyhCL
"At least I'm not lying." I mutter under my breath.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20zGZXBLHO
"What was that?" Iruka asks, raising an eyebrow at me.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG67YbVhsf
"I said, at least I'm not lying." I say out loud.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aCw1Cqknk
Iruka groans, another anime vein appearing on his head. "Just perform the test, Minashi." He says while Mizuki, who's watching us this whole time, smiles amusedly. "And make sure to do it right. Having you graduate from my class is indeed a great relief."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAxJccyunE
I shrug and do a hand sign. "Bunshin no Jutsu!" I say, and in a puff of smoke, three clones of mine appear.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zLDKNGENj
What they don't know, however, is that my clones are Kage Bunshins. I never tried to learn the Bunshin no Jutsu. All it does is create illusions of yourself. Quite useless at times when you are outnumbered and a huge waste of chakra too. However, these clones will have to do. It's not like they'll touch it anyway.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89sVUh1uOd
"So, that okay?" I ask both Mizuki and Iruka-sensei.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyyEiVJdVQ
"Yes." Iruka says, looking quite eager to have me out of his class. "Finally." He mutters under his breath. I heard him though. I just decide not to say anything to him.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJG6RiYbUJ
"Please get your head protector from the table." Mizuki says, gesturing me to head for the table. "You can choose any of them."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXvboM7xyZ
"It's not like it matters." I say in a bored tone. "They all look the same anyway." I add and then grab one of the head protectors from the table before I go out.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScCiAhHJCH
~~~755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8WoAvpCOq
The graduation ends by two o'clock. I wait for everyone else to clear the academy before going out of there. Outside, I see lots of families celebrating the success of their children. But I see no Naruto amongst them.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjy4ZV9RKC
I scan my eyes on the area but it's no use. So, I close my eyes and use my sensing ability. In a few moments, I sense him sitting on the swing. With him found, and there are many people in between us, I decide to just look around.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrrDzWFjsN
"That is him, right?" I suddenly hear from someone just beside me. I turn to look at who said those words. What I see are two women, looking at my brother. Or more like glaring at him.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlwvCzZgQV
"Yes, that's him." The other woman says, disgust dripping with every word she says. "The tailed beast."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xowbyg7OK
"I can't believe they let him live and roam around in our village." The other woman says, making me clench my fists in anger. *Who is she to judge?* "He is a threat to our lives! He should be killed."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzeMURY1LB
"I know, right?" The other woman agrees. "What is the Hokage thinking?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nWeLWpPpU
"He's just being a kind-hearted person." I tell them calmly, though I'm quite pissed at them right now. "Unlike both of you." I add.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeWFefN4u7
Both women turn to me out of surprise. "Oh. You heard us." One woman says, not even regretting what she said.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8zQbgzPv4
"Well, you're still too young to understand, Kid." The other woman says. "In time, you might."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALcUIsB0Ak
"Oh I understand completely." I tell them lowly, just so nobody else would hear our conversation. "You hate him because he's a jinchuriki."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKknJZqsy0S
"So you know?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVElJ3lm1fa
"Who wouldn't hate him, though?" One of them says. "He destroyed our village once. He might try again if we don't put him out of his misery so--"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfJtmlP1NM
"Be careful what you say, Lady." I cut her off. "You are talking to his sister."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0dXZV4g3M
Their eyes immediately widen out of surprise.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbY0iV0aQg
"There's a rule that forbids you to talk about the kyubi nor harm that said bijou's host." I tell them calmly. "You should shut the hell up before I report you to the Hokage."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE1ZGw0Ubb
"R-right." Both of them say in unison, bowing down slightly. "We're sorry." And then, they leave.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KSPD2djFG
I sigh, unclenching my fists as the women leave my sights. And then, I decide to look at my brother. Most of the people have cleared the area. So, I can see him now, sitting on the swing. I am about to walk to him but I stop myself when Mizuki starts talking to him.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuKw2MtKux
They talk for a few minutes and then leave. To where, I do not know.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOovMch4dA4
"It seems Mizuki is on the move." I hear Gramps' voice say from behind me.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzYAM1MCjG
I turn around, facing him and Iruka-sensei who is right beside him. "So my suspicion is right?" I ask Gramps seriously. "He *is* the traitor."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6CMZFIGNS
"Yes." Gramps simply replies.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBNg9uEQkl
"Then what are we waiting for, Lord Hokage?" I ask him. "You should have him arrested before be decides to up and leave, you know."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGmXyZ8xzE
"We have a much bigger problem than just Mizuki." Iruka-sensei suddenly says, handing me a folder. "Our recent Anbu information states that Mizuki had met up with two other suspicious characters in the village last night. It would seem he had given them the scrolls."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLCbdmYNFv
"I see." I mutter as I flip through the papers attached to the folder. Once I reach the last page, I raise an eyebrow. "There is nothing here that states their appearance or where they are."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatjJO3SKBK
"The Anbu weren't able to see them properly." Iruka says, scratching his head. "Since it was during the night when they found them out. Well, at least that's what they told me."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFj2U9AmJm
I roll my eyes. "Excuses." I say, handing the folder back to Iruka-sensei. "Leave it to a bunch of amateurs to give you an incomplete report."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAft7gQ0jej
"Well, they're not as good as you.." Iruka says, smiling. "..in terms of detection."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjjjha2W0n
I nod. "I can't agree more." I mutter. "That changes the plan then. We can't take out Mizuki yet. It would only alert his comrades. They might leave the village, share our military secrets to the whole world and that ends our peaceful little lives right there." I turn to Gramps. "You'll need someone to track Mizuki's comrades before they leave the village." I sigh, knowing just who that person is. "I'm awaiting orders, Lord Hokage."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW7NOvqw5r
"Sharp as ever, Minashi." Gramps says. "Your mission is to find Mizuki's comrades and take back what is rightfully ours."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M9SvVoyHB
With that said, I leap away and start the mission.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaUYWG7jWS

**Iruka Umino:**755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUjdrcycEi
I lay on my bed, thinking about what the Hokage said just after Minashi had left for her own mission.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wYClwdymu
*"Are you sure it is alright to let Minashi do this alone?" I ask Hokage-sama.*755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLccyTXIDIk
*"I'm sure she will be alright." He replies calmly. "Minashi and Naruto are very powerful together. But Minashi is more mature compared to Naruto. She knows what needs to be done."*755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3TZ5LYM8P
*"I see." I say.*755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3EF26p0ni
*"Iruka, I know your parents were killed during the fight against the kyubi." Hokage-sama suddenly says and I can't help but turn to him, surprised.*755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi8Wihi0k2
*"Y-yes." I reply, realizing that I had not answered him yet.*755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgkmggBJPt
*"Since Naruto holds the kyubi within him, do you resent him in any way?" He asks.*755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVoIj7W95E
*"No!" I say, my voice comes out louder than I expected. But I don't mind that. "I treat him like my sibling, Hokage-sama!"*755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUaSWasm6c
*Hokage-sama nods. "Good.." He says with a small smile. "As what you may have already known, Minashi and Naruto are strong for their age. But they still need someone to be there and make them feel that they're not alone."*755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Pmt9MVUd
*I nod, understanding him. "Don't worry, Hokage-sama." I tell him. "I will be there for them."*755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIzOKYU5Zz
The sound of pounding on my door breaks me from my thoughts. *Who could that be?*755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO27rfUEou
I get off my bed and open the door. What I see behind the door is someone whom I did not expect. Mizuki.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM0WzaahFj
"Mizuki?" I can't help but say, surprised at his presence. "What are you doing here at this hour?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBFBopo497
"NARUTO HAS STOLEN THE SCROLL OF SEALS! YOU NEED TO COME IMMEDIATELY!!" He yells in a panicked tone.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8ds6IT8nS
"WHAT?!!" I can't help but yell back. If something goes wrong and Naruto has that scroll, he might release the kyubi in the village. And as far as I know, Naruto cannot tame the beast in him.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wSwhU1nZq
I run back inside my house and grab my ninja sandals. Mizuki and I then take off to the Hokage tower.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8PYlttzWd
Naruto. I can't help but worry for him. I take a secret glance at Mizuki, who's running in front of me. He and Naruto were together a while ago. This must be part of his plan. But I can't take him out now. Not until Minashi is back.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi31g6IbxT1

I drop to my knees, panting. It's nighttime and here I am, near an abandoned house that's in the south forest of konoha. 755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxoRK4j0lB
It had been hours ever since I got the scroll of seals from Gramps. I got to use my Orioke no Jutsu on him too, when he found me out. I might get scolded later for that but it was totally worth it.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAr8yT3Ndl
Anyway, there was no sign of Mizuki anywhere, and I got really bored so I decided to learn one really cool jutsu from the Scroll of Seals - the Kage Bunshin.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8Em9vwqTm
Minashi already knows this jutsu. But I bet she'll be so impressed to know that I had also mastered it. She knows I'm not good with clones.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEpPROj0TH
The sound of someone leaping on the tree branches that's to my right, breaks me from my thoughts. But I pretend to continue panting.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq28aeVwMDe
**Iruka Umino:**755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwL1v30ctc
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIMIK8Osso
I land just in front of Naruto, feigning anger. "Naruto.." I say through gritted teeth. "You little id--"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqac0qP1B0
"Iruka-sensei!" He interrupts me, grinning from ear to ear. "You found me." He looks around. "Where's Mizuki?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbC2DIDmy0
"Why did you steal the scroll of seals?!" I say, looking at him with urgency. I do hope he'll get the message and continue the façade. "Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused the village this time?!!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenoQiPh2rm
He pauses, analyzing me with calculating eyes, before he grins widely and stands up energetically. "I learned one really cool jutsu from the scroll!" He exclaims excitedly. "I will show it to you and then you're gonna let me graduate, right?!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHOExtrrhs
I almost let out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness he got it. But, thinking that Mizuki might be here soon, I immediately feign surprise. "Who told you of such ideas?" I ask.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDyt13Hr4c
"Mizuki-sensei did!" He replies, with a huge grin on his face. "He told me that if I mastered all the jutsus in this scroll, you will let me graduate with the best grades!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtUol586CX
Naruto Namikaze:755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbjSD0kzfe
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6vXj9MSby
I don't get why Iruka-sensei has to continue acting. But I just played along. There's no harm in doing it anyway.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA6SnRCf7f
I sense someone land on one of the branches of the trees just near us. Probably Mizuki. However, I pretend not to know he's there.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MRUltrj59
Suddenly, he throws kunais at Iruka-sensei and I, and my hand instinctively takes its hold on a mini scroll that I kept under my sleeve. It is in this scroll where I had sealed my weapons.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpE92h6BBh
However, I don't get the chance to unseal my weapons since Iruka-sensei pushes me roughly to the side, making me land on the ground, right on my butt. I really wasn't expecting the push.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbm95Bpt8M
"Ow. Ow. That hurrrrts!" I whine as I rub my sore butt: something my pretend character would do even in situations like these. Then, I focus back on the events that occur before me.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIJFVe30Fr
I see Iruka-sensei is pinned to the wall of the abandoned house. There are some scratches on his arms but none are fatal so far. Mizuki is still perched on a branch of a tree, smirking evilly.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4tXZqNxm0
Mizuki then turns to me. "Naruto, give me the scroll!" He commands, gesturing me to give him the scroll. "If you want to live, that is." He adds with a smirk.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ChRVM80Zj
I secretly take hold of the mini scroll that I hid in my sleeve again.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFJIWX6P23
"Naruto! Don't!" Iruka-sensei yells, getting my attention. "Don't give him the scroll!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR1s7yu6W6
I can't help but look at Iruka-sensei in a questioning way, clearly confused. Why is he still acting? Mizuki had revealed himself. We can take him on right now.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PZZlDvIW0
Instead of saying anything to me, Iruka-sensei faces Mizuki. "Why are you doing this, Mizuki?" He asks. "What purpose do you have to take scrolls from our village?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI3uSvjHvl
"Oh don't take this personally, Iruka." Mizuki answers, still smirking. "My comrades and I, it has become a hobby of ours to collect scrolls with military secrets from different villages. And then we sell it to whoever pays the highest price, which are usually the people who want to see your village collapse."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UcuwhLwz5
This gets my attention. Comrades? So he is not working alone. Then that means we need to find his comrades too. Before they leave the village and sell the scrolls.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59wXZLI7Ob
"You won't get away with this!" Iruka-sensei threatens. "We have the best sensory ninja in our village! You will fail!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcuDkeGUCB
I can't help but smirk inwardly. Iruka sounded so sure. And the only best sensory ninja in our village that I know is Minashi. Then that means Minashi is out there, hunting Mizuki's comrades. All I've got to do now is buy her some time.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb74o0o6d8
"W-what's going on?" I ask, pretending that I am trembling in fear. "What a-are you two t-talking about?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ijxsdb8nY
"Just give me the scroll, Naruto." Mizuki says with a roll of his eyes. "No questions asked. Okay?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC66LIMz3x
"Don't, Naruto!" Iruka-sensei says. "He only used you so he can get the scroll for himself!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡralGjILnXy
I turn to Mizuki with widened and confused eyes that are almost tearing up. "M-mizuki-sensei?" I call to him.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtghKWsJoU
"Oh please." He says with a scoff and another roll of his eyes. "Grow up, Kid." He says with a glare. "You think the world is all good and kind? Well, it isn't. A demon such as you should know."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuv9zAkZT5
"D-demon?" I ask in a frail and confused voice. Although I already know that he's referring to the kyubi that's sealed inside me. "W-what do you mean?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjsHRyCrk1
Mizuki smirks. "Ohhh.. perhaps I should tell you about who you really are!" He says with glee.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdgDfLDrQu
"Mizuki, Don't!" Iruka-sensei shouts, now joining into my little façade. 755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbKznFU2Nb
"What do you mean by who I really am?" I ask the question that Mizuki clearly wants me to ask. "Who am I?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI4fH2BIev
"Twelve years ago, a demon fox attacked the village of Konoha." Mizuki starts. "Many died during that accident. Fortunately the fourth hokage was able to stop the demon by sealing it away in an infant baby."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40ysyJOh9y
"Stop it, Mizuki!!" Iruka interrupts to which Mizuki glares at him.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xqZL6X9hV
"Nonsense!" Mizuki yells. "He deserves to know."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F6uizUQsU
Mizuki turns back to me. "Then, after that, a rule was made by the third hokage." He says. "But Naruto, only you cannot know that rule."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77chGhWKcQ
"Why?" I ask him. "What is that rule?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7w3ST8zai
"Mizuki, stop it!" Iruka-sensei yells once again but Mizuki ignores him.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavZfIgLaMd
"Naruto, you are the host of the demon!" He tells me in an exaggerated way, as if telling a very exciting story. "You are a demon! That's why everyone hates you! Even Iruka, your own teacher hates you!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYYFCVZMwu
I resist the urge to roll my eyes. I know about the kyubi sealed inside me. And yes, there might be people who hate me for being the kyubi's host but I also know that Iruka-sensei is not one of them. He is one among the very few people who care for me.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNCxaxN26W
However, I push my thoughts aside and make myself seem terrified at the new information. "I-I'm the k-kyubi?" I ask in a trembling voice.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEomPMi1beA
"It's sad, isn't it?" Mizuki says. "For having people hate you without knowing the reason why." He then gestures me to hand him the scroll once more. "And now that I told you the truth, why don't you give me the scroll? It's a nice bargain. The truth, for a scroll. Now hand it to me! Or I will make you regret keeping it from me."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1mN3REfD0
I whimper away from him, embracing the gigantic Scroll of Seals.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zobFp1Ms4
"Heheh!" He chuckles. "If that's how you want it." He unties one giant shuriken from his back. "NOW DIE!!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRAoirP94H
Mizuki-sensei launches the giant shuriken at me. "Naruto, DODGE!!" Iruka-sensei yells.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QE4bdDwuW
I immediately roll away, out of the range of the shuriken. But my eyes widen when I see the shuriken's direction had shifted, now targeting me once again. This must be Mizuki's doing. Weapon Manipulation must be his forte. 755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3fKEAxUll
So, I activate my Bloodline Limit and wait. And on the last second, I roll away once again. This time, I manage to successfully dodge the said shuriken. It pierces the ground where I once was.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX6zCmNggu
"What the!" Mizuki exclaims, wide eyed but he soon recovers and glares at me. "I was going to make it easy for you. But now, I will make you suffer!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUtBnb0Vka
He jumps down from the tree he's on and makes his way to me. I crawl backwards in a helpless manner, still embracing the scroll of seals. I might have no other choice but to fight back if things get out of hand. Minashi.. you better hurry up.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdshs5HIaK
But then, Iruka throws shurikens at Mizuki and unfortunately, Mizuki was able to dodge all of it. Not even a scratch.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkCAbfmxVr
"Leave the kid alone, Mizuki!" Iruka-sensei says. "I will be your opponent." He looks at me. "Naruto, go. Take the scroll. I will take it from here."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchoarx3q0p
I hesitate for a moment. Iruka-sensei might not match against Mizuki's skills. And I don't ever want him to get hurt badly.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrJohW1JdH
"NOW, NARUTO!" Iruka-sensei yells and I have no choice but to take off, running into the woods with the scroll of seals strapped to my back.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI9ipXcAIk
**Iruka Umino:**755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2QlwMwYcM
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfMGFTmkU9
I watch as Naruto runs off. And I do hope that Minashi would finish her mission soon. I might not hold for long against Mizuki. There's no telling what this traitor can really do.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyT5arurwi
"Tsk! Tsk!" Mizuki says, shaking his head in disapproval. "It's a pity, really. I found you to be quite an interesting fellow. I planned to kill you later for old time's sake but now, I just changed my mind."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCAcjqVzBY
"I will not let you have the scroll, Mizuki." I tell him. "Nor harm Naruto."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfedEWWfaMn
He suddenly cracks up, leaving me quite puzzled at his sudden outburst. "Wow!" He exclaims, now smirking. "You? Protecting the person whom you should hate? How touching." He says the last word sarcastically.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IqJV7R10G
"He's just a kid, Mizuki." I say. "And besides, he did not kill my parents."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhR5MzR7GI
"Yes. But that thing in him did." He replies. "Which kind of makes him the killer too. You know.. since the demon that killed your parents is kept alive because it is inside him."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjENGGjH0yh
"No matter what you say, Mizuki." I tell him. "You will not convince me to side with you."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mQYBCiljH
"Your loyalty to your village will be the death of you." He states, looking a bit irked that he had not convinced me. "Do you really think you can best me, Iruka? I'm giving you a chance here. A chance to live."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dheuqa914
"My loyalty is to Konoha." I state with finality. "If I die, then so be it. Besides, I am not the only ninja in this village. There are many more who are far greater. You will be defeated."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAJvZSPIHv
"Far greater?!" Mizuki says, looking quite amused. "I've been snooping around your village for three whole months and none of your ninjas were able to catch me."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavU1AhrHe7
Then, he takes two kunais from his weapon pouch and let's each hand hold one. "Well, since I can't convince you, we should get on with the fighting." He says.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70ywBMM0KY
I do the same thing, taking my own kunais from my weapon pouch. Then, without warning, he slashes at me so fast that all I can see is a blur. But my speed matches to his own and I manage to block a slash that's aimed to cut my neck.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFJG52xyFR
"Tch!" He glares at me before distancing himself by leaping away. "You're fast."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxqxJbZWR2
I don't say anything and just keep myself focused at him.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2CwlK1YmK
"Can you dodge this?!" He yells before launching the second giant shuriken from his back.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpskL1evIbg
My eyes widen but I am able to dodge the said shuriken by stepping a bit to the right.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTw0phvfO6
"Wow." Mizuki says, clapping his hands and nodding approvingly. But then he smirks. "Or maybe not."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y8IqO8kZi
My eyes widen when I feel something huge pierce my back. I gasp, feeling the pain that I now feel from that spot but I find out that I can't breathe. It must have pierced through my lungs. I fall to my knees and try to catch my breath but I end up coughing out blood instead. Lots of it.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimvKZ5KZaq
I hear Mizuki chuckle and say something. But I don't pay attention and I pull out the giant shuriken from my back. With the last of my strength, I throw the shuriken at Mizuki, hoping that it would at least leave a scratch on him. But he dodges it with ease and my hope of injuring him comes to a halt.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc2wp7EQMQ
**Mizuki:**755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynxzO8lo1T
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMC9k6PTVH
I smirk as I watch Iruka crawl to a tree and lean himself there. He gasps for air and I can tell that he's not getting any.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlQWrHkRFJ
Weapon Manipulation is the technique that I have mastered. I am able to change a weapon's direction as long as I am able to flow my chakra into it. It's quite handy at times.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0em9Oev84
"Such a pity." I say, shaking my head in amusement. "Sacrificing your own life to protect a demon. I really had no quarrel with you."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1dwfpPIif
"Well, then." I add. "To show you that I have no form of resentment, I'll end your life quickly."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZftNgVoYL3
I take one kunai from my weapon pouch and throw it at him, aiming for his heart. I know it would kill him in an instant.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiOPjMy6xv
I turn away, readying myself to leap away and chase after Naruto.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a1XgUFoHs
"Leaving so soon, Mizuki?" I suddenly hear someone say. My eyes widen and I turn back around so fast that I almost tripped.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NZe3A36Wi
I am met by a sight that I least expect to be here - A certain lazy red-head from my class.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnMMvzeZxX
"Minashi?" I ask out of surprise.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGQ3JsEwwn
"Yeah." She says, holding up something for me to see, swinging it to and fro. "This yours?" She asks.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8L6Fa3Tqh
My eyes widen once I realize it's the kunai that I threw at Iruka. I immediately look at the injured Iruka who's still leaning on the tree. He's unconscious now. Or maybe dead. Either way, it doesn't really matter.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7BU1FEjK8
"He's fine." Minashi suddenly says. "The little trick with your weapon? It did not work."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6hqGBP5E9
Just after she says that, Iruka explodes into a puff of smoke and soon I see that a log had taken his place. Kawarimi?! I can't believe I fell for that!755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE23jN5mMN
Then, Iruka and Naruto both come out from the darkness of the woods, taking their place beside Minashi.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtURV63Yy41
"You're late, Minashi." Naruto says, looking at Minashi in an accusing manner.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwEuCbLGVe
Minashi rolls her eyes. "How about you try finding unknown people in the whole village?" She says. "See if you'll fare better than I did."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTLGwtgiPS
"Nah." Naruto replies, grinning. "I'm good. I take it you've finished the job then?" He asks Minashi, unstrapping the scroll of seals from his back and handing it to Iruka. "Would you mind holding this for a minute, Iruka-sensei?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6slR0bbpze
With a nod, Iruka takes the scroll from Naruto and seats himself on an overgrown root of a tree not too far from him.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtQvvmbODr
"Yeah." Minashi says. "Easy as pie."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZtpyONHQp
"Good." Naruto says. "Now let's just get this over with. I want to go home and eat."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBM3isOQYT
"Very well." Minashi replies and they both turn to me.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtSSJYDZ3P
"Well.. well." I say with a smirk. "You kids are quite brave to stand against me. Did Iruka tell you to fight against me as your final examination?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAdFgkQTuF
"Actually, no." Minashi answers.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWIjVeYHN7
"Minashi and I have been observing you, Mizuki." Naruto says. "We suspected that you are responsible of the stolen scrolls. And you better get ready." He adds, taking a fighting stance. "Because Minashi and I will kick your butt!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCwL6xZmWt
I laugh at his little threat. "You're kidding me, right?" I ask. "I can kill children like you two with a single move!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW1jLvDOtg
"Oh please, Mizuki." Minashi says nonchalantly. "You're giving yourself too much credit. I don't even think you'd last a ten minutes against my brother. How much more the two of us?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa24PRZH3XB
"Tch!" I can't help but clench my fists, irked by what she said. She usually wasn't this annoying. "Oh really? Let's have a go then. See if you can match against me."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsFCmiPx0D
**Third Person:**755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSOlDQbAlm
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUnZgF54kZ
The traitor throws unending shurikens and kunais at both Naruto and Minashi. However, in a second, Minashi is instantly in front of Naruto.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TQZnACvRl
Golden chains that are made of chakra sprouts from Minashi's back. On the tip of each chain, blades of the same color and are adorned with black swirls, are attached.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtouAqL7GC4
Then, without wasting time, Minashi manipulates each of her chains to block each and every weapon that Mizuki throws at them, even the manipulated ones, letting nothing come through. All weapons fall to the ground, harmless.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGCfj1R2x1
Seeing what is happening, Mizuki's eyes widen and he fuels himself to launch even more weapons at the Duo. However, it did not make much of a difference.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo79P6coYUa
"Watch this, Sis. You'll be impressed" Naruto says, forming both hands into a hand sign that seems familiar to Minashi. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIeO25RqtW
The whole area puffs into smoke, making Mizuki stop what he's doing and cough a few times. He then narrows his eyes, trying to see through the smoke. But then his eyes widen and fear seems to take over his whole body once he sees what's in front of him and all around him: hundreds of Naruto's clones that are all ready to beat him up.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz97rGhCj1
"Impressive." Minashi says, giving an approving look towards her brother. "You've learned the Kage Bunshin."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUFgZt9DGg
Feeling happy with Minashi's praise, Naruto turns to Mizuki, smirking. "So what will it be, Mizuki?" He asks. "The easy way? Or the hard way?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37fnzvDqLR
"Idiots!" Mizuki yells, trembling in frustration and anger. He knows now that he has lost. "Even if you capture me, my comrades will leave your village and sell the scrolls to your enemies!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVyvjPJ7HD
"You mean those two idiots I found hiding in the abandoned Uchiha compound?" Minashi asks.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpcQOXOE0M
This makes Mizuki pause. "You're lying. There is no way they could have been found." He says mostly to himself. "They can mask their chakra very well."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9F8CvkyBS
"Yeah well, I don't need their chakra to find them." Minashi says. "Seriously, they are hiding in a place where no one is supposed to be. Who wouldn't suspect anything?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymhuUSPV04
"No.." Mizuki says angrily. "We cannot be defeated!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzihRrjCOL
He tries to leap away. But one of Minashi's chains circle his foot and flings him back to the ground.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VvJfvvmVM
He groans in pain before looking up to the twins in fear and a thought crosses his mind: a story that he used to hear from his fellow criminals. A story about two fearless and mysterious ninjas of Konoha that his fellow criminals fear. They were said to be very strong when they are teamed up together. 755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VPPRY3NG6
Only few were able to survive their onslaught. But those who do would come to fear them. It is said that one with red hair wields the power over chains and excels in detection. The other who has blonde hair, relies on speed and enormous chakra reserves. They are called the Lethal Duo.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpvqKBAbCX
Just as Naruto's clones rain down on Mizuki, only one thought is fixed in his mind: Naruto and Minashi are the Lethal Duo.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDr2PwQts8
~~~755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2PUxzpnxd
**Minashi Namikaze:**755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1HpnUlRRE
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhdaElLxRo
I sweat-drop at the twitching Mizuki before me. "I think you overdid it." I say as I turn to my brother.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W7atf9acZ
He scratches his head. "I think I just did." He replies before slowly turning to me. "But did you see that?!" He exclaims, now wearing a huge grin on his face. "I was so COOL!!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbQ4k5TL4O
I can't help but sigh and deadpan as Naruto starts to glorify himself to Iruka-sensei, who in turn praises him even more. 755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3mJ3RibyB
I turn away from them and turn to the unconscious Mizuki. He won't be waking up soon. But just to make sure, I unseal a rope from the mini scroll that I keep with me and tie up Mizuki's arms and legs.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzk2bQB6Vz
Once done, I turn back to Naruto and Iruka-sensei. "Naruto, stop your endless ranting and get over here." I call to my brother.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUSEJJkn23
He stops talking but glares at me all the while walking to me. I, however, just ignore his glare.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDeve0c48m
"What now, Minashi?" He asks in a bitter tone.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ735niumv1y
"Keep an eye on Mizuki." I tell him. "I'll scan the forest for people. Perhaps there might be more of Mizuki's comrades."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAqlLepGWs
"Geez. It's not like he'll move anytime soon anyway." Naruto complains.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFt5G9rBVX
"Just do what I say." I state before taking off into the forest.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qTBxwhudg
~~~755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9D7WDOzH2
In no time, I finish scanning the forest. There are no suspicious characters so far. So, I return to where I left Naruto and Iruka-sensei.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHV8KLMG0A
"Finally!" Naruto immediately says once I jump from one last tree branch and land just near them. "You were almost gone for an hour. And I'm really hungry." The sound of his growling stomach proves his point.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh9oCcMcJI
I sigh. "We still need to wait for Ibiki." I tell him. "He'll take Mizuki to jail."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIueKhCEPnX
Naruto groans, making sure he makes it loud so I can hear. "Oh come on!" He whines. "Can't we just go?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKR10bDMI9
"No." I state.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfGuuaUtBv
"But whyyyyyyy?" He complains yet again.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC93C07JyQ
"Because capturing Mizuki is *our* mission." I tell him. "It is only right that we pass Mizuki to Ibiki ourselves."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b1nAHpP4a
"You and your formalities." He grumbles as he sits on a rock. "And what about using Transportation seal?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAkLSbL1We
"Ibiki-sensei already said he'd come." I tell my brother. "We can't let him come here for nothing. It would be an insult on his part."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsybCfEdOuN
Naruto sighs. "Got any food there at least?" He asks, turning to me.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdZmqfq2lY
I toss him one of my mini scrolls to which he catches easily but then turns to me in a questioning manner. "What's this?" He asks.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylZdRmdlLL
"Food's inside." I say and he immediately grins, dropping his grumpy behavior as he unseals the contents of the scroll.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDReUKUyF2u
A puff of smoke erupts from the scroll once my brother does the right unsealing hand signs and says, "Unseal."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDbEcOgvBv
"Ramen!" Naruto exclaims and in no time, he is slurping the said food with a happy look on his face. I cant help but smile. I love it when he gets excited over such small things. What can I say? He's my brother. And I love him very much. Though I pretty much don't show it.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rfFV1ZyG2
"Say, Iruka-sensei.." My brother says. ".. can I come over the classroom when you assign the teams?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo9pPolGfa
"Ahhh.. why?"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsLPUsgbAo
"Because he wants to make our classmates see that he is not who they think he is." I answer for my brother.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiDAj6S6qX
He gives a playful glare. "Hey! I know you want to do it too." He exclaims. "Think of the looks on their faces. They would be so surprised."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI7Pmofh8H
I sigh. "Well, yes. It would be fun to see how they react." I turn to Iruka-sensei.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqFYgR6WFL
"Well, as long as no one is getting hurt, then okay." Iruka replies with a closed-eye smile.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMERDX69Yg4
"Yes!!" Naruto jumps up and down in a repeated manner, clearly excited for tomorrow's events. "You're the best, Iruka-sensei! Believe it!"755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlj5aAi9P4
"You're just saying that because I agreed to something you want to happen."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgrEUNNvvV
"No I'm not. You are clearly the best."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u73Ok8QCa
I just watch as Naruto and Iruka converse. After a while, I sense someone approaching and I sigh. Finally!755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjliFrJ3hc
"Well, someone was busy." Ibiki-sensei, the said person says, now smirking and looking at the tied up traitor.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z8cyHQoTa
"And someone took the long way to get here." I tell him. "You're a bit late, Ibiki-sensei."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjO9LRVlaf
He scowls. "It's not my fault there are so many people to interrogate." He defends.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM27B0AbRE8
I smile. "I know." I say. "You're always so busy nowadays. Thanks for doing this favor despite your busy schedule. I just hate going to that place. The prison, I mean."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiLtvIW7Xo
He nods. "It's nothing." He tells us. "Just looking out for my favorite students."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ft6rWcTLp
I roll my eyes in a good-natured manner. "You don't have any other students." I state.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIyyubGf3Z
"Whatever." He says as he carries the unconscious Mizuki on his shoulder without even struggling. "I'm leaving now."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yznaZHmmX
And just like that, he disappears into a puff of smoke, taking Mizuki with him. He did not even say goodbye. *Same old Ibiki-sensei.*755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ANPjKyEAL
I then turn back to Naruto and Iruka with a smile. "Let's go home."755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3pceAhYCN
And with that, we go home.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QAMTDulEb
