Welcome to Naruto: Recollection, the tale of Naruto Uzmaki with a few added twists. It's funny how small changes will change the entire story. Anyway, enjoy! Make sure to review please!
Chapter 1: Naruto Begins!
"Kids... I'll be back..." Iruka sensei mumbled as he walked out of the Ninja Academy while wearing a scowl. The rest of the class seemed confused at what was going on.
"What do you think is happening?" A black haired girl, whose hair covered her eyes asked. Next to her, a boy with spiky dark blue hair and no pupils smiled.
"Aw! Nabiki! Who cares? We are at least having some time off from Iruka-Sensei!" The boy yelled out as she nodded with a small smile. He nodded and threw his hands above his head and leaned in his seat.
"Uh... Sanosuke? Are you sure that's safe?" A violet haired girl asked as he smirked.
"Nope! But, come on Hinata... Don't worry so!" He said with a smirk as she looked down.
"Oh... Okay..." She mumbled as Nabiki did the same look down. Under them, three people were talking.
"Munch, Munch, Munch!" A boy yelled out as he scarfed down chips. Meanwhile, next to him, a boy with a pony spike and a boy with black hair covering half of his red eyes were talking.
"You think?" The pony spike one began as the red eyed one nodded.
"Absolutely... It has to be Naruto's doing..." He mumbled as the pony spike nodded.
"Kisuke... Why do you think he does this kind of idiotic stuff?" He asked the boy, who simply shrugged.
"I really don't understand him, Shikamaru... He does this and refuses to think... Either way, I'm going to go check it out..." Kisuke mumbled as he got up and walked out the class. A blonde girl smirked and yelled out at Kisuke.
"Stop trying to act so cool!" She yelled as he smiled at her as he walked out.
"Stop yelling, Ino..." He mumbled as she chuckled and turned to her pink haired friend.
"Why do you always flirt with him?" She asked as Ino looked appalled.
"Me? Flirting with him? Why, Sakura, that disgusts me! I'm just happy I beat him in Ninja Tool Training!" She yelled out as Sakura cocked an eyebrow.
"Kisuke has the lowest scores besides Naruto and Shikamaru!" She said as Ino facepalmed.
"...I know..." She weakly mumbled as Sakura laughed.
"Some achievement!" She said with a burst of laughter as the blonde growled at her.
"SHUT UP, BILLBOARD BROW!" She barked as Sakura twitched.
"What did you say Ino-pig?" She yelled as they began to fight.
"Knock it off..." A black haired boy emotionlessly mumbled and the girls immediately stopped.
"Sorry Sasuke..." Sakura mumbled back followed by a blush as Ino followed suit.
"Yeah... Sorry.." As they mumbled, a boy with red tattoos on his cheeks gagged. He turned to the boy in dark glasses next to him.
"Hey Shino... What you think they see in him?" He asked as the boy, Shino, shrugged.
"Honestly, Kiba... I have no clue..." He mumbled as Kiba sighed and threw his head to fall asleep.
"What the hell are you doing during class time? Get down here, you moron!" Iruka-sensei yelled at the boy who was currently painting on the Hokage mountains. Kisuke chuckled as Naruto fumbled with the wires and fell.
"Geez Naruto... You really are a fool... Then again, who am I to talk?" Kisuke mumbled as, together, the Hokage and Iruka tied up the boy.
"Come on, Iruka-Sensei!"
"Shut up, Naruto!" Iruka barked out at the blonde boy as Kisuke mentally laughed.
"Geez... Naruto you are going to be one horrible ninja..." Kisuke mumbled as he made the sign of the sheep and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Tomorrow is the graduation exam for the Ninja Academy! And you have failed it the past two times!" Iruka yelled at the bound up Naruto as most of his classmates snickered. Naruto simply narrowed his eyes and looked away.
"Whatever..." He mumbled under his breath as Iruka growled and popped a vein.
"That's it! Time for a Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Jutsu) test! Copy perfectly into me!" Iruka yelled out as the classmates widened their eyes and there jaws opened wide.
"WHAT?" They all yelled out. Naruto seemed the most distraught by this, but eventually...
"Henge!" Sakura yelled as she transformed perfectly into Iruka-Sensei. Iruka smiled at the girl for the perfect performance.
"Good job, Sakura. Next up, Hinata Hyuga!" He yelled out as the shy girl jumped up.
"Oh... Okay... Henge!" She yelled out as she used the sign of the sheep to transform into Iruka. Hers was almost as perfect as Sakura's but had some disfigurements.
"Your's is okay, Hinata, but it needs some work... Next up is Sanosuke Hyuga!" Iruka yelled as the dark blue haired kid ran up.
"Hello, Iruka-Sensei!" Sanosuke yelled out as Iruka hit him on the head with his writing board.
"Shut up, Sanosuke and do the Jutsu!" Iruka yelled as the kid frowned.
"Sheesh Sensei! You need to calm down" He mumbled as he performed the Henge, making a copy as good as Sakura's.
"Hello, Sensei!" Sanosuke stated and bowed at Iruka, who smiled.
"Good job, Sanosuke! I swear you have the talents to be number one in the class!" Iruka said in a happy tone as Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"Nah! I can't beat Uchiha anyway! I'll just stick with 3 in the class!" Sanosuke mumbled as Iruka frowned.
"Try your hardest, or I will fail you! If your not at least number 2 by the graduation, you won't pass!" He said angrily as Sanosuke gulped.
"Hai, Sensei!" He yelled and scrambled back to his sister and Nabiki.
"Next up! Sasuke Uchiha!" Iruka yelled out as the emo looking boy, walked up. He quickly did the Jutsu, reversed it and walked away. "Perfect as always Sasuke! Next up is... Naruto..." Iruka stated glumly as the maverick ran up.
"I totally got this Master! Watch!" Naruto yelled out as the teacher nodded solemnly.
"Uh yeah?" He said as the boy smiled and used his Jutsu. What came out of the smoke instead was a blonde girl naked with giant breasts.
"Hey there big boy!" She mumbled as she squeezed them together and giggled. Iruka, wide eyed and jaw hung open, flew back in a spew of blood. Sanosuke was laughing as Hinata was blushing. Nabiki was blushing like Hinata but was facing the opposite direction, looking at the wall.
"Oh Naruto..." Shikamaru mumbled as he looked at his friends. Choji was still eating, not even noticing it, while Kisuke had one hand in his pocket, the other over his nose. Shikamaru looked and saw some blood dripping out and he grinned.
"Oh? Did that-" He began, but a scowling Kisuke interrupted him.
"Not... Another... Word!" Kisuke warned as his friend chuckled.
"Hahahaa! I call this the Oiroke no Jutsu (Sexy Jutsu)!" Naruto yelled out in between laughs, as Iruka smacked him in the head.
"Why the hell do you waste your time with these stupid Jutsu's?" Iruka yelled out as he clenched his fists. He shook them, but hung his head in defeat.
"School is over... Go home!" Iruka-Sensei said quietly as every charged out the room. As Naruto was about to leave, Iruka grabbed his shoulder. "Not you! You're coming with me!" Naruto's eyes widened as he tried to run away.
"No! Damnnit!" He yelled as they disappeared in a puff of smoke. Hinata was watching Naruto's smoke cloud with sadness as Sanosuke grabbed her shoulders.
"Come on Hinata! You don't want Hiashi mad! Besides we have training with Neji!" Sanosuke told her as she nodded and together they left. The only one still in the room was Kisuke, who sighed.
"Naruto... Your an idiot!" He mumbled which he followed with a chuckle.
"Let's head to the BBQ place!" Choji yelled out with a roar, but both Kisuke and Shikamaru shook there heads.
"Sorry, Choji, but-" Shikamaru began.
"Maybe another time?" Kisuke finished as Choji began to pout.
"Come on guys! Please please oh please?" Choji begged with tears in his eyes, his hands clamped together and on his knees. Kisuke smiled and handed Choji 600 Ryo.
"Wait! Only 600?" Choji began, but Shikamaru shook him off.
"Sorry, Choji... Be glad you got that much.." Shikamaru mumbled as Choji nodded and ran into the BBQ place.
"Think the owner is glad ever since we started giving Choji restricted money use?" Kisuke asked with a chuckle as Shikamaru smiled.
"I bet.. He's not eating them out of a house and home anymore... Well, either way, I have to head home... If my mom doesn't have me home by 5:30, things get troublesome..." Shikamaru mumbled with a sigh as Kisuke grinned.
"Don't want her angry... Later, Shika." He said as they fist bumped and Shikamaru disappeared in smoke. Kisuke chuckled then looked up at the mountains to see Naruto and Iruka-Sensei.
"So Iruka-Sensei is having him clean the mountains? You probably deserve that... Naruto Uzumaki..." Kisuke mumbled with a smile.
"HEY KISUKE!" Kisuke heard a voice yell out and turned to see Sakura and Ino at the dumpling store. Kisuke shrugged and waved at them with a smile. Over there though, Ino was smirking at Sakura.
"Told you he would wave!" Ino yelled out as Sakura scowled.
"Oh shut up! He would wave at anyone!" Sakura yelled out in frustration as Ino stuck her tongue out.
"What are you two fighting about?" Kisuke asked, who had appeared between them.
"AHHH!" They both yelled as they fell from their seat, dropping their dumplings.
"Kisuke! You scared us!" Ino yelled out as she smacked him on the head.
"Ouch! Don't be so mean, Ino!" Kisuke pouted with his lips pursed as Sakura chuckled, but Ino just scowled.
"You deserve it! You don't go sneaking on two girls like that!" Ino yelled out to him as he just smiled.
"Yeah, yeah..." He mumbled as Ino growled at him and tried to smack him again, but he dodged.
"You got to do better, Yamanaka!" He yelled out and disappeared in smoke. Sakura was laughing as Ino was growling.
"Your right! You two don't flirt!" She yelled out in between laughs as Ino smacked her. Meanwhile, on top of the dumpling shop, Kisuke is watching the girls and laughs as Ino stomps home.
"Kisuke... GRR! I don't flirt with him!" Ino was heard mumbling as she ran.
"For your final exam, you must each generate a clone! Wait here until your name is called, and then come next door!" Iruka-Sensei yelled out with a board in his hand. Sanosuke was grinning like an idiot, while both Hinata and Nabiki looked scared. Kisuke was just leaning on his chair and smiling. Like usual, Choji was eating, while Shikamaru was sleeping. Sasuke has his finger interlaced, listening to his Sensei. Sakura was determined to win and was clutching her fist. Ino's hand was pressed against her cheek and she sighed, clearly annoyed. Kiba was laying his head on his desk, eager to take the test. Shino was just sitting there with his glasses pressed to his face. Naruto, on the other hand, was freaking out.
Clones? Why did it have to be clones! That's my worst technique, Naruto was thinking as he started to sweat drop and was scared out of his mind.
"First up, anyway… Shino Aburame!" Iruka yelled out as they glasses kid rose up and walked up. As he and Iruka-Sensei left, Mizuki, the kids other Sensei, waved to them before leaving.
"I wish luck to you all!" Mizuki said with a bow as he walked out of the classroom. As he stepped out, all the kids began to talk to each other.
"Whoa… I hope we pass…" Hinata mumbled as Nabiki nodded, while Sanosuke just grinned.
"Oh you two worry too much! We will all pass! And that's the truth!" Sanosuke yelled out with a grin as they both managed a weak grin.
"Oh this is going to be troublesome..." Shikamaru mumbled as both of his friends turned to him.
"I think it'll be easy!" Choji and Kisuke said at the same time, as Shikamaru just chuckled.
"You say that now, but you two are at the bottom of the class besides Naruto!" Shikamaru said to his friends. Choji just frowned and looked down while Kisuke shrugged.
"Grades don't prove skill, Shikamaru!" Kisuke mumbled out to him, as he flashed his red eyes. Meanwhile...
"God! He has super low scores, yet he thinks he is better then us!" Ino yelled out as Sakura shook her head.
"In grades; We beat him... In Chakra Control... We wipe the floor with him. In Jutsu mastery, We win... In book smarts, We totally win! In Ninja tools... We win." She began as Ino clenched her fist.
"Of course! After most of the year, I beat him in Ninja Tools!" Ino yelled out as her eyes turned to fire and she was smirking. Sakura, on the other hand, was shaking her head.
"But he does beat us in something..." Sakura mumbled as Ino looked flabbergasted.
"What does he beat us in?" Ino barked out with a scowl as Sakura shrugged.
"He beats us in plain old Chakra!" She said with a shrug again as Ino looked confused.
"What do you mean by Chakra?"
"Haven't you seen him train after school, because I know you do stalk him?" Sakura asked as a red Ino smacked her on the head.
"I followed him once! And no, I haven't..." She mumbled as Sakura nodded.
"I saw him once... He created enough clones for everyone in the class and transformed them all into everyone in the class!" Sakura yelled out with her hands in the air as Ino gasped.
"You're kidding?"
"Nope... I saw it with my own eyes! But, He is failure at school, and he hangs out with Shikamaru and Choji! If only he were more like Sasuke..." Sakura mumbled as Mizuki called a nervous Choji in. Ino shook her head as Sakura dreamed of the Uchiha boy.
"Choji Akimichi! Your turn!" Mizuki yelled out as Kiba narrowed his eyes.
"Wait! Did Shino pass?" Kiba asked about his polar opposite friend. Mizuki just smiled at Kiba.
"You'll find out later," He said as he and a nervous Choji walked out of the classroom.
"You think..." Shikamaru began, but stopped as Kisuke nodded.
"I believe in Choji! He will definitely become a ninja!" Kisuke said with a smile as Shikamaru grinned...
"Yeah..."
"Sanosuke!" Iruka began as he glared at the gulping student.
"Uh... Iruka-Sensei... Heh..." He said as sweat was falling down his hairline..
"You're still in third!" Iruka barked at the boy, who gulped and held his hands up.
"You see, Iruka-Sensei... I-" Sanosuke began, but was interrupted by Iruka.
"I expect 3 clones... Then Transform them into Lord Hokage, Mizuki-Sensei and I..." Iruka stated simply as Sanosuke's jaw dropped.
"What! You're not serious are you?"
"Well, I guess all your boasts about being the best ninja at the Academy besides Sasuke was all a lie..." Sanosuke sighed and scowled at his Sensei.
"Reverse Psychology doesn't work on me Sensei... But fine... Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Jutsu)!" Sanosuke yelled out as 3 more of him appeared in smoke. He then used the sign of the sheep. "Henge!" Sanosuke yelled out as all three transformed into a perfect copy of Mizuki, Iruka and the Hokage. Iruka smiled at the boy.
"You PASS! With this score, it puts you in front of Shino... You are now 2nd, just below Sasuke Uchiha..." Iruka said with a smile as Sanosuke threw his hand up.
"YES!"
"Today... We are here to congratulate these students for passing the Ninja Academy Exams and becoming Genin level ninja of Konohagaure!" Iruka yelled out from his podium in front of the school. All the students that had passed (i.e. Everyone but Naruto) were there with their headbands around there neck.
"First, I would like to congratulate Sasuke Uchiha, for having perfect grades, and being in the number one spot, with the best grades!" As Iruka yelled this out, Sasuke stood up, and tried his best to ignore the screaming women. He looked emotionless as usual.
"In second... We have a member of the Hyuga Clan! Please congratulate, Sanosuke Hyuga for being in second, right behind Sasuke!" A lot of claps are heard and Sanosuke is grinning stupidly, and flashing the peace sign.
"In third... We have a member of Konoha's Aburame Clan. Please congratulate, Shino Aburame!" A lot of claps are heard again as Shino stands up, like Sasuke. You hear Kiba yell out to his friend and you hear a bark.
"In fourth... We have a very strong girl... Please congratulate Nabiki Misora!" Iruka yells out as the raven-haired girl stood up.
"Yeah! That's my daughter!" A man is heard yelling as Nabiki turns red and Iruka laughs.
"Really, Kenshin... Do you have to be so loud about your daughter becoming a Genin?" A man wearing a robe asked Kenshin, who looked like a stereotypical Jonin of Konoha with pale red hair and a scar on his left cheek. Kenshin sniffed and revealed to have tears in his eyes.
"Yes! It is special, Hiashi! My daughter is growing up!" He yelled out as he cried and covered his face with his arm. Hiashi smiled and shook his head at her best friend.
"At fifth... We have another Hyuga Clan member... Please congratulate, Hinata Hyuga!" Claps are heard as a violet haired girl stood up with a shy smile. She saw her father with her sister Hanabi clapping while wearing a smile. She then noticed Naruto Uzumaki, sitting alone on a swing set. She frowned and looked down when she saw him.
"At sixth... We have Kiba Inuzuka of the Inuzuka clan!"
"WOO HOO!" Kiba yells as he and his dog jumped up on the stage. Iruka smiled at the two.
"I see both you and Akamaru are happy..." Kiba nodded as everyone clapped and Iruka laughed.
"At seventh... We have a tie! It is between Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno!" Iruka yelled as the mentioned girls hung there heads in defeat as everyone clapped. As he went on, the time had reached about an hour when finally...
"At twenty-seventh... We have Choji Akimichi of the Akimichi Clan!" Iruka yelled out as Choji cheered.
"See! Told you Choji would graduate, Shikiku!" Inochi yelled at his friend, who looked exactly like Shikamaru.
"Yeah... I'm surprised Shikamaru is so low on this list." Shikiku remarked as Choza cocked an eyebrow.
"How do you know Shikamaru is going to even make it? There is only going to be 29 ninja..." Choza said as Shikiku smiled.
"At twenty-eighth... We have Shikamaru Nara of the Nara Clan!" Iruka yelled out as Shikamaru rubbed the back of his head and closed his eyes as everyone clapped.
"What a drag..."
"Told you... He is a Nara after all..." Shikiku said with a smile as Choza cackled.
"And finally... At twenty-ninth... Our final ninja that is graduating is Kisuke Airsawa!" Kisuke rose up and looked at everyone. He then noticed no one was clapping. He smiled and sighed and then sat down. Iruka was looking at all the people, wondering why no one had clapped.
"That kid... He's odd all right..."
"Who will he be with, you think?"
"Who knows... But, he will probably be with one of those two Main Branch members!" The Genin spat out as he glared at them from the mountain. The girl dressed in pink scowled at him.
"Don't be so mean, Neji!" The girl said at him. He merely scoffed at her and turned to the boy clad in green.
"We think differently, Tenten... Right, Rock Lee?" Neji asked the weird looking boy who pursed his lips.
"YOSH!" Lee yelled out as they disappeared in smoke.
"Uzumaki has gone to far this time, Lord Hokage!" A random Jonin yelled out as he fellow Jonins, were agreeing.
"The scroll he has taken is so dangerous that the very first Hokage sealed it away!" The Third Hokage began, staring at all the ninjas he called. "If misused in the wrong hands, it could be deadly!" Hokage warned as all the ninja's wore confident smirks. But Iruka, He seemed concerned and seemed confused at the same time.
"We have to find him! Scatter!" The Hokage yelled out as all the ninja burst out from the shade, running in different directions. But, inside the shadows a boy had heard everything.
"What are you doing... Naruto..." Kisuke mumbled as he disappeared in smoke.
How could Naruto Uzumaki have taken the scroll? Has he learned of the origins of the Nine-Tailed Foxes Spirit, The Hokage wondered as he walked back to his mansion.
Naruto! Kisuke yelled in his mind as he saw Mizuki yelling at Naruto and Iruka bleeding on the wall next to Naruto. Kisuke gritted down on his teeth as Naruto was looking blank at Mizuki.
"Wha… What are you talking about?" Naruto asked, confused and staring blankly at Mizuki and falling back to the ground.
"STOP!" Iruka yells out as Mizuki grins and glares at Naruto.
"It was you who murdered Iruka's family! In other words, you…" Mizuki began, smiling with giddy joy as he started at the blank eyes of Naruto. "…Are the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit that destroyed the village!" Mizuki yelled out as Naruto widened his eyes. "Until, at last, our beloved hero, The Fourth Hokage, trapped you and bound you in this form!"
"STOP IT!" Iruka yelled out as Mizuki smiled evil-like and glared again at Naruto.
"Since then, you've been made a fool of everyone in town! Didn't you think it was strange? To be so despised, everywhere you went?" Mizuki continued, ignoring Naruto, who had his eyes shut and was holding the pain all in. Then, with a smirk, Mizuki glanced over to Iruka and started to spin the shuriken off of his back. "If he were honest, even noble Iruka would admit he hates you, too! No one will ever accept you!" Mizuki hissed out as he swung the shuriken start at Naruto and Iruka's eyes were wide. Kisuke's eyes also widened, but relaxed as he saw the blur of Iruka and Iruka above Naruto with the giant shuriken in his back. They looked at each other, tears falling out of Iruka's eyes, when Naruto suddenly got up and ran off, followed by Iruka screaming out his name.
"NARUTO!" He yelled out as Mizuki hopped off of a tree next to Iruka, chuckling.
"What a pity… But I'm afraid, once Naruto sets his mind on something. He can't be dissuaded. He's going to use the scroll to take revenge on the village! Did you see the look in your student's eyes? Those were off the damned Demon Fox!" Mizuki yelled out, smiling as Iruka, who was now to his knees, pulled out the shuriken, letting the blood fall out like a mini river to the grassy floor.
"You… Don't know… Naruto… At all…" Iruka mumbled, in between huffs of air he was forced to take because of the wound. Mizuki then laughed and jumped to follow Naruto.
"I don't have to know the boy to kill him! It's the scroll I'm after now. I'll finish you later!" Iruka groaned, pulling some of the kunai's out and breathing heavily.
"It's him! Naruto!" Iruka yelled out, smiling as Naruto turned towards him as they leapt through the trees. Iruka then sped up his pace to be besides Naruto.
"Quickly! Give me the scroll! It's what Mizuki is after!" Iruka hissed out as Naruto quickly stopped and turned towards Iruka, and kicked off in one fluid motion. Iruka's eyes widened as Naruto's shoulder ran straight into his gut, making him blanch. Naruto then pushed Iruka off, sending him crashing through the trees and landing onto the forest floor. Naruto started huffing as Iruka struggled to get up and looked at Naruto with hurt eyes.
"You… What's wrong Naruto?" He muttered with his eyes shut from the pain. Quickly, a cloud of smoke erupted from Iruka's body, revealing Mizuki, who had a crazy look in his eyes. "How did you know I wasn't Iruka?" Naruto huffed again for air and began to chuckle. Suddenly, his body erupted into smoke and there sat Iruka with a log by him.
"Because I am!" Mizuki gave Iruka a look but stood up and smiled maliciously.
"I see…" From the distance, Naruto was behind a tree, huffing while clutching the scroll close to him. Mizuki began then to cackle with laughter.
"So noble! Saving your parent's murderer… And for what? What happens if we let him live?" Mizuki asked, the smile etched on his face, making Iruka narrow his eyes at his former apprentice.
"Then maybe the scroll is safe from a complete scumbag." This made Mizuki chuckle while smirking.
"You're a fool! Naruto and I are two of a kind." This caught Iruka off guard, making him give off a confused expression.
"Two of a kind?" He asked, confused as Naruto tightened his grip around the scroll. Mizuki scoffed at Iruka.
"I can use that scroll to achieve the same kind of limitless power! The demon within him hungers for that kind of strength!" Mizuki then smirked and raised his head. "You were right to fear him… To despise him!" Iruka grumbled in pain as Naruto started thinking.
Huh… So it's true… Iruka Sensei really holds me in contempt, Naruto thought as he looked down. At the same time, Kisuke was growling at Naruto from the trees. Iruka sighed then.
"Maybe I do hate the fox… But not Naruto. Not the boy." Naruto's face quickly changed to shock as he listened to his sensei speak about him. "For him, I have nothing but respect. He's an excellent student." Iruka smiled, thinking of his student. "He works with all his might… But sometimes, even so, he's awkward, clumsy, a screw-up… People have mocked him and shunned him… And it's given him empathy. He knows what it is to be in pain." Iruka stopped smiling then and glared at Mizuki. "That boy is no longer your demon fox… He is… A citizen of Konohagakure Village, Naruto Uzumaki!" Iruka said as Naruto felt the tears escape his eyes and couldn't but cry. No one has ever stood up for him like this. Kisuke couldn't help but chuckle at the scene in front of him. Mizuki gave a pained look at Iruka, angered at him, but then began to smirk again.
"Aww! That is so sweet! Just hearing you say so make me feel all warm and fuzzy!" Mizuki smiled, grabbing the giant shuriken on his back as Iruka shut an eye in pain and groaned as blood dripped out of his wound. "Well, Iruka, I had planned to save you for last, but sometimes things just don't work out the way you plan, so… Say goodbye!" Mizuki yelled out as he began to swing the shuriken, planning to throw it. As Mizuki yelled, Iruka wore a smile, as if he accepted that this was his time to die. From, the tree, Kisuke pulled out a kunai and was about to throw it when…
"Gah!" Mizuki yelled out as he was sent flying back form a knee kick from Naruto. Just over his head, a kunai whizzed by. Iruka barely saw it and glanced to see Kisuke in the trees, watching. Iruka looked over at Mizuki who was getting up. "He can… He really…" Mizuki began muttering as Naruto glared at him.
"Keep away from Iruka Sensei… OR I'LL KILL YOU!" Naruto hissed as Iruka began to shake and yelled at Naruto.
"Stupid Kid! You should have stayed away! Get out of here! Save yourself!" Mizuki chuckled and smiled manically as he yelled at Naruto.
"Loudmouth brat! I can kill you with one blow!" He yelled out with a laugh as Naruto kept his gave on him and making the sign for Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu).
"Bring it on, you jerk! Anything you'll throw at me, I'll give it back times a thousand!" This made Mizuki laugh even harder.
"You're welcome to try, Little Fox!" Iruka widened his eyes, as did Kisuke and Mizuki as thousands of Naruto appeared.
"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU (Shadow Clone Jutsu)!" Naruto yelled out and Mizuki began to whimper, moving in a circle to witness all the Narutos.
"What! How did he?" All the Narutos began to laugh then and speak, making a cool effect.
"What's the matter tough guy? Come and get me! You're going to kill me with one punch, right? Come on!" They yelled out, egging on the scared Mizuki. Naruto then smiled. "Well, then… I'll just have to attack you!" Mizuki began to sweat as all the Narutos charged him and his scream is heard everywhere. In the trees, Kisuke chuckled.
"Naruto… You never cease to amaze me…" With that Kisuke disappeared in the night sky.
"AAIEEEE!"
Mizuki laid on the floor, covered in his blood and his face disfigured from all the punches. Naruto began to chuckle at this scene.
"Hehe… I guess I got carried away!" He smiled as Iruka leant against the tree, smiling at his student.
Amazing… He not only generated a thousand Bunshin's, but made them solid flesh-and-blood, instead of a shadowy illusion! That's the highest caliber Ninjutsu. I wouldn't be surprised if he really does turn out to be better than any Hokage who's come before, Iruka though as he nudged Naruto to come closer.
"Naruto, come here. I've got a present for you." Naruto walked over and Iruka smiled as Naruto approached him. "Close your eyes." Naruto gulped but did as his Sensei said. "Naruto, you can open your eyes." Naruto opened his eyes to see Iruka smiling with his goggles in his hand and his Leaf headband missing. "Congratulations, Graduate! To celebrate this, I'll take you out. We can go for ramen!" Naruto's lip began to quiver, making Iruka raise an eyebrow, but that Naruto tackled Iruka.
"Yes! Yes, thank you Iruka-Sensei!"
"Ow! Oh, it hurts, Naruto!" Iruka yelled out as Naruto hugged Iruka, opening up his wounds, but he seemed not to care.
"Did you guys find Naruto?"
"Not yet!"
"This is awful! What are we going to do?"
"He could be miles away my now!" All the Jonin's that were searching for Naruto were now all in front of the Hokage's Mansion.
"We have nothing to fear."
"Lord Hokage?" They all asked in surprised as the Hokage smiled and took a puff from his pipe.
"He won't be gone long." In the distance, Kisuke smiles at the scene.
"…Damn straight, Naruto…"
I hope you all enjoyed that chapter! Remember, this will follow the Naruto story except with a few twists (until the timeskip.) Once that skip hits, everything will be changed besides for some cardinal events in Shippuden.
