"Naruto Uzumaki!" I hear my brother's name being called out.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZFLXuHEHf
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2PLw71pVw
"Where you goin'? He asks.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWWOhIZo2r
"To where you're headed." I reply.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg221cnVMf
"You do know it's still my turn, right?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJZOE2Dgya
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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4wSRHFw1X
He shrugs. "Okay. Whatever." He says.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJei7E4U1pv
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQLi6eo5kP
"Yo! Iruka-sensei! Mizuki-sensei!" Naruto shouts energetically at the two teachers in front of him.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UPrwRpqbk
"Okay, Naruto." Iruka-sensei says seriously. "Earn yourself a head protector."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFmXAhL2Ye
"YOSH! I will do my best! Believe it!" Naruto exclaims as he prepares himself, hand sign on the ready. "Bunshin no Jutsu!" He yells.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H7IBLaghp
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnuaPmveyv
"Naruto, you fail!" Iruka-sensei says in a disappointed tone.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgoWMZOaE4
"B-but, Iruka-sensei!" Naruto shouts in a panicked tone. "I.. I did my best! Believe it!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsho1HZNiw
Iruka-sensei crosses his arms. "Oh I believe it, Naruto." He says. "But your best wasn't enough."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxylrMVspiW
I hear Naruto heave a frustrated sigh and then grumble something I did not hear.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHop4XZrEcJ
"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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQQKI0ITcq
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTRWMTdmn5
*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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VfU8fBzr9
"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. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE99B8hGvU
"Good Morning, Minashi-san." Mizuki greets, a smile forming on his lips. "How are you today?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP9oOrhJpm
"Sleepy." I mutter sleepily.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5LFD9hPlu
"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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqBAgWJQFH
"If I didn't practice, I'd fail." I tell him. "And that means going through your boring lessons all over again."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjHRsT85GM
This makes Iruka grow an anime vein. "There you go again, getting on my nerves." He says angrily.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O4sm15SCt
"At least I'm not lying." I mutter under my breath.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0BnfYyMr9
"What was that?" Iruka asks, raising an eyebrow at me.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplxvALxdRQ
"I said, at least I'm not lying." I say out loud.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0yYTFR9KL
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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqWc5UMKC5
I shrug and do a hand sign. "Bunshin no Jutsu!" I say, and in a puff of smoke, three clones of mine appear.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ8HD6Tsyl
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupGYN7aQye
"So, that okay?" I ask both Mizuki and Iruka-sensei.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI3WyjNeTP
"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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8F3LH7tqm
"Please get your head protector from the table." Mizuki says, gesturing me to head for the table. "You can choose any of them."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JCxmuX4Uc
"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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJhBvmgc1Z
~~~803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5KDd3f2cd
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9BQbNGYeY
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vyqrgnRvj
"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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8GsyQc4Cu
"Yes, that's him." The other woman says, disgust dripping with every word she says. "The tailed beast."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshk2GeRi1q
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QzLbSQ8Cs
"I know, right?" The other woman agrees. "What is the Hokage thinking?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyQFOHGTyz
"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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesOyaRzkBT
Both women turn to me out of surprise. "Oh. You heard us." One woman says, not even regretting what she said.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIXXD9F7pP
"Well, you're still too young to understand, Kid." The other woman says. "In time, you might."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDz50UbSDo
"Oh I understand completely." I tell them lowly, just so nobody else would hear our conversation. "You hate him because he's a jinchuriki."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh1qHFICD8
"So you know?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssOXYyOGUQ
"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--"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ06EnRtuN
"Be careful what you say, Lady." I cut her off. "You are talking to his sister."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8FfhuEmAO
Their eyes immediately widen out of surprise.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6IcmFpCbX
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOdwfsR5cj
"R-right." Both of them say in unison, bowing down slightly. "We're sorry." And then, they leave.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4crHBxS62d
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3IA6Jo4hp
They talk for a few minutes and then leave. To where, I do not know.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdPeClJiXF
"It seems Mizuki is on the move." I hear Gramps' voice say from behind me.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzjPDs3ZJu
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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4cVGvdIDG
"Yes." Gramps simply replies.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MFAVTVEAD
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhrv88J7fD
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHbPQW7Gvl
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlwoB5VpuW
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWi6AIdb0V
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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EDldzfoE3
"Well, they're not as good as you.." Iruka says, smiling. "..in terms of detection."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Z7JYhKxL
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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn2AbCY9Ne
"Sharp as ever, Minashi." Gramps says. "Your mission is to find Mizuki's comrades and take back what is rightfully ours."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNq1GIjBfe
With that said, I leap away and start the mission.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86VCxd5OE2

**Iruka Umino:**803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERSnjqzUnw
I lay on my bed, thinking about what the Hokage said just after Minashi had left for her own mission.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaER9qs2Me
*"Are you sure it is alright to let Minashi do this alone?" I ask Hokage-sama.*803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUXkfnEopy
*"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."*803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLE7uvRNyU
*"I see." I say.*803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2rp9jjLPx
*"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.*803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5wffnt7Vk
*"Y-yes." I reply, realizing that I had not answered him yet.*803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOaSCh2nUd
*"Since Naruto holds the kyubi within him, do you resent him in any way?" He asks.*803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog1hiLFQ8d
*"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!"*803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNgPmF8CKD
*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."*803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8euYdem4Hc
*I nod, understanding him. "Don't worry, Hokage-sama." I tell him. "I will be there for them."*803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxvCbIZoFv
The sound of pounding on my door breaks me from my thoughts. *Who could that be?*803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROboMc5MYM
I get off my bed and open the door. What I see behind the door is someone whom I did not expect. Mizuki.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc3BcVvobM
"Mizuki?" I can't help but say, surprised at his presence. "What are you doing here at this hour?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cSdmhPdo2
"NARUTO HAS STOLEN THE SCROLL OF SEALS! YOU NEED TO COME IMMEDIATELY!!" He yells in a panicked tone.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9kPPkofW1
"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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkolJaox2Qw
I run back inside my house and grab my ninja sandals. Mizuki and I then take off to the Hokage tower.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbinawzOo9
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rAlpGtZLb

**Naruto Namikaze:**803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5xY7x1Viz
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDZotu4O3Y
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. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ434TlSqcNG
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGqMvq5L6Y
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg9dOlKG5T
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzWv8llyn1
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDsx5ZPvXr
**Iruka Umino:**803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYzfAX2aYw
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqww8a3gFAw
I land just in front of Naruto, feigning anger. "Naruto.." I say through gritted teeth. "You little id--"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH11mtONuX
"Iruka-sensei!" He interrupts me, grinning from ear to ear. "You found me." He looks around. "Where's Mizuki?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj594y2Vyb
"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?!!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHswHxmuutp
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?!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fr0uiXvw2
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbxziWRelt
"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!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROjmeZrFbU
Naruto Namikaze:803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT3POwT4g4
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpe0jJEODh
I don't get why Iruka-sensei has to continue acting. But I just played along. There's no harm in doing it anyway.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwFuQvQyU8
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqF5W6KjsV
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3GDwY9Fmt
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02uNA3n6cw
"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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwDWyhr6fL
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUO35mU0sy
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1mW2Faihe
I secretly take hold of the mini scroll that I hid in my sleeve again.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1LESYq4Pa
"Naruto! Don't!" Iruka-sensei yells, getting my attention. "Don't give him the scroll!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlB8eSGAYc
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zj2thgrUX
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?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJQ90a5O1f
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBewLp0anai
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBPjrCtdPh
"You won't get away with this!" Iruka-sensei threatens. "We have the best sensory ninja in our village! You will fail!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOLmMcEFgE
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppvkwsJfcz
"W-what's going on?" I ask, pretending that I am trembling in fear. "What a-are you two t-talking about?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4mctBKgks
"Just give me the scroll, Naruto." Mizuki says with a roll of his eyes. "No questions asked. Okay?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvvuF99mU1
"Don't, Naruto!" Iruka-sensei says. "He only used you so he can get the scroll for himself!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9RysaNpjg
I turn to Mizuki with widened and confused eyes that are almost tearing up. "M-mizuki-sensei?" I call to him.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydr2saIzcU
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpSyTEtBST
"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?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELpIVWUrr7
Mizuki smirks. "Ohhh.. perhaps I should tell you about who you really are!" He says with glee.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8TeLoVBqj
"Mizuki, Don't!" Iruka-sensei shouts, now joining into my little façade. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYPyfIaDPw
"What do you mean by who I really am?" I ask the question that Mizuki clearly wants me to ask. "Who am I?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy7221MBvx
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDFmRI8Noh
"Stop it, Mizuki!!" Iruka interrupts to which Mizuki glares at him.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS0WYLX1zv
"Nonsense!" Mizuki yells. "He deserves to know."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCMHArmFD2
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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK4sRMl1nx
"Why?" I ask him. "What is that rule?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RuGJiYcXu
"Mizuki, stop it!" Iruka-sensei yells once again but Mizuki ignores him.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc987NkCS4
"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!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEn1wqfRBY
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA545OMhWjT
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz773UoTTQ
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76gZVQ3cNd
I whimper away from him, embracing the gigantic Scroll of Seals.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50HCrkwKyD
"Heheh!" He chuckles. "If that's how you want it." He unties one giant shuriken from his back. "NOW DIE!!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKJN72OTgm
Mizuki-sensei launches the giant shuriken at me. "Naruto, DODGE!!" Iruka-sensei yells.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8NSIjClgT
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. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8iFPPecN2
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnXtMgXkR4
"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!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGXnxHbA9a
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLgJLByEZv
But then, Iruka throws shurikens at Mizuki and unfortunately, Mizuki was able to dodge all of it. Not even a scratch.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlQwuz9pCV
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0KwXpHemi
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGbRZpdQs8
"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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa65uBt6TFr
**Iruka Umino:**803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsDzQixtVZ
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEQwHf6rVL
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ795ssYWuQd
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jfej7Asnc
"I will not let you have the scroll, Mizuki." I tell him. "Nor harm Naruto."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkIsAZKWXN
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyCErQt958
"He's just a kid, Mizuki." I say. "And besides, he did not kill my parents."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwuOoJmEuv
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHBKuFYpqd
"No matter what you say, Mizuki." I tell him. "You will not convince me to side with you."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU40LjmsRnV
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTZUibW8PD
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0HRm7TW6a
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1wu6F1LvU
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY8B9pY2Uj
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0rff1QY6s
"Tch!" He glares at me before distancing himself by leaping away. "You're fast."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ325tUE7CWX
I don't say anything and just keep myself focused at him.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWSsuGuIi3
"Can you dodge this?!" He yells before launching the second giant shuriken from his back.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMN1MZQHQo
My eyes widen but I am able to dodge the said shuriken by stepping a bit to the right.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6uhPMRmFC
"Wow." Mizuki says, clapping his hands and nodding approvingly. But then he smirks. "Or maybe not."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLffhNJ4vff
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBZ29pIM5u
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxF0TeGl2x
**Mizuki:**803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzOwZyM4tr
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mtPXeOIMU
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpirnnowFKe
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJZFj5N3kJ
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWZUlO2fYu
"Well, then." I add. "To show you that I have no form of resentment, I'll end your life quickly."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV8nrwGKVT
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdfB294kIj
I turn away, readying myself to leap away and chase after Naruto.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2puS7T7BR5
"Leaving so soon, Mizuki?" I suddenly hear someone say. My eyes widen and I turn back around so fast that I almost tripped.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbVD8FzQzc
I am met by a sight that I least expect to be here - A certain lazy red-head from my class.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8KsazZE3g
"Minashi?" I ask out of surprise.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6temKcKmmN
"Yeah." She says, holding up something for me to see, swinging it to and fro. "This yours?" She asks.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH2cytmYEY
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJFoVsyeN9
"He's fine." Minashi suddenly says. "The little trick with your weapon? It did not work."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxukMdixRH
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!803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AfsDX27EW
Then, Iruka and Naruto both come out from the darkness of the woods, taking their place beside Minashi.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc5K0p8sOO
"You're late, Minashi." Naruto says, looking at Minashi in an accusing manner.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl7kPl5d6O
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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6KIIiAdmY
"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?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ppuiIwjlU
With a nod, Iruka takes the scroll from Naruto and seats himself on an overgrown root of a tree not too far from him.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuewMcCJy6
"Yeah." Minashi says. "Easy as pie."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYa6lJmWWw
"Good." Naruto says. "Now let's just get this over with. I want to go home and eat."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VeVvBAn41
"Very well." Minashi replies and they both turn to me.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNlusMfltP
"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?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnERN1x4dJ
"Actually, no." Minashi answers.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoUqgaMVxL
"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!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxswkCWdEEz
I laugh at his little threat. "You're kidding me, right?" I ask. "I can kill children like you two with a single move!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88XvkkqdHy
"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?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJbUVqMiLc
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudNiyu4w0m
**Third Person:**803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ009bU2Ci0F
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7rEVs0t95
The traitor throws unending shurikens and kunais at both Naruto and Minashi. However, in a second, Minashi is instantly in front of Naruto.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkzKK3ef1Z
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCDzu8Iag2
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLDPyssY0H
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2AFDLlhvg
"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!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLTZLb8Tno
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnkJZf9KvV
"Impressive." Minashi says, giving an approving look towards her brother. "You've learned the Kage Bunshin."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk8sQ78VhD
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?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHKfVgrYVR
"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!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP0FU7eUNh
"You mean those two idiots I found hiding in the abandoned Uchiha compound?" Minashi asks.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVOuSuqz5c
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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRn7ex3bfM
"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?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJZk8ItvDO
"No.." Mizuki says angrily. "We cannot be defeated!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqORuN0NDBf
He tries to leap away. But one of Minashi's chains circle his foot and flings him back to the ground.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnCkGyNaGZ
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. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrVCvzGLCu
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlxQrDIyQ8
Just as Naruto's clones rain down on Mizuki, only one thought is fixed in his mind: Naruto and Minashi are the Lethal Duo.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW089jFVYK
~~~803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGfLkWJJfY
**Minashi Namikaze:**803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kLE3LN70k
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK5atiykbF
I sweat-drop at the twitching Mizuki before me. "I think you overdid it." I say as I turn to my brother.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVHbxg5xu3
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!!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNCSmsNp9e
I can't help but sigh and deadpan as Naruto starts to glorify himself to Iruka-sensei, who in turn praises him even more. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCK403pWU3
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2EXGxf49d
Once done, I turn back to Naruto and Iruka-sensei. "Naruto, stop your endless ranting and get over here." I call to my brother.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtCUS8wlJa
He stops talking but glares at me all the while walking to me. I, however, just ignore his glare.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0ryA4qyVe
"What now, Minashi?" He asks in a bitter tone.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4CBsYIdyn
"Keep an eye on Mizuki." I tell him. "I'll scan the forest for people. Perhaps there might be more of Mizuki's comrades."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEDgDnsYFV
"Geez. It's not like he'll move anytime soon anyway." Naruto complains.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOS7KT1uee
"Just do what I say." I state before taking off into the forest.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1WiiXrJDe
~~~803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpRcfQfHLr
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXCbPLo0Pc
"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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifhnVxf6jr
I sigh. "We still need to wait for Ibiki." I tell him. "He'll take Mizuki to jail."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhLrNHfwMB
Naruto groans, making sure he makes it loud so I can hear. "Oh come on!" He whines. "Can't we just go?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWNWozvAPa
"No." I state.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItf2H0Zv6I
"But whyyyyyyy?" He complains yet again.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2BFbynxBm
"Because capturing Mizuki is *our* mission." I tell him. "It is only right that we pass Mizuki to Ibiki ourselves."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbdjxf5DIP
"You and your formalities." He grumbles as he sits on a rock. "And what about using Transportation seal?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAJHvSrtXd
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AC4HnWXGj
Naruto sighs. "Got any food there at least?" He asks, turning to me.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupjwmZNqio
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iV63TTl5N
"Food's inside." I say and he immediately grins, dropping his grumpy behavior as he unseals the contents of the scroll.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrjUbnRkhy
A puff of smoke erupts from the scroll once my brother does the right unsealing hand signs and says, "Unseal."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoOqqPGZlZ
"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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV41Nt9Qtrq
"Say, Iruka-sensei.." My brother says. ".. can I come over the classroom when you assign the teams?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuukiBvqmaG
"Ahhh.. why?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfd6zM4o6v
"Because he wants to make our classmates see that he is not who they think he is." I answer for my brother.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVS7CTnjm9
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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpByETfJOI
I sigh. "Well, yes. It would be fun to see how they react." I turn to Iruka-sensei.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknReuawDdi
"Well, as long as no one is getting hurt, then okay." Iruka replies with a closed-eye smile.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61y5glpgKi
"Yes!!" Naruto jumps up and down in a repeated manner, clearly excited for tomorrow's events. "You're the best, Iruka-sensei! Believe it!"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mewIvIr61
"You're just saying that because I agreed to something you want to happen."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcdYfYZxy2
"No I'm not. You are clearly the best."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo9kFtGN2E
I just watch as Naruto and Iruka converse. After a while, I sense someone approaching and I sigh. Finally!803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nu27o9ANV
"Well, someone was busy." Ibiki-sensei, the said person says, now smirking and looking at the tied up traitor.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe05gyQfz4
"And someone took the long way to get here." I tell him. "You're a bit late, Ibiki-sensei."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45IpokG9p5
He scowls. "It's not my fault there are so many people to interrogate." He defends.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0LpS9RnQp
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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzcJvIOt4v
He nods. "It's nothing." He tells us. "Just looking out for my favorite students."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtavSdJfgP
I roll my eyes in a good-natured manner. "You don't have any other students." I state.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZhhlJIijL
"Whatever." He says as he carries the unconscious Mizuki on his shoulder without even struggling. "I'm leaving now."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOOZ8xSN9j
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.*803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtRJnT4eFG
I then turn back to Naruto and Iruka with a smile. "Let's go home."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXj0Gm1Jby
And with that, we go home.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2YcDrRxZn
