Naruto reached the secret training ground with a giant scroll on his back. He had successfully retrieved it as per his secret mission. It all started when he failed to create the Bunshin no jutsu for graduation exam.
(Flashback)
"For the graduation exam you will be doing the Bunshin no jutsu. When you are called, please come into the next room." Iruka announced to the class.
'Damn, why does it have to be that one. Its my worst skill', Naruto thought, 'But I gotta do it.'
After some time went by, Naruto was called into the Test room.
"Alright Naruto, please perform the Bunshin no Jutsu for us", Iruka said.
'Watch this', Naruto Thought as he molded a large amount of chakra. "Bunshin" he shouted after performing the necessary hand seals for the jutsu.
The result was pitiful. A seemingly dead looking clone appeared. Naruto started sweating while Iruka sweat dropped.
"FAIL!" Iruka shouted.
"Iruka" Mizuki said "this is his third time, and technically he created a clone. We could let him pass". 'Yeah, like that would happen'
"No way Mizuki-sensei, Everyone else created at least two clones. Naruto only created one and it was a useless one," Iruka replied, missing the angry look on Naruto's face. Mizuki however didn't. 'All according to the plan' he thought.
Naruto was sitting on the swing outside the academy, downtrodden. He saw everyone else had passed and they were being congratulated by their parents. He felt so lonely.
"Hey, is he that kid?", one woman said.
"Yeah that's 'The' Kid, he's the only one who failed.", said another.
"well that's good, we can't have him becoming a shinobi since he is the…."
"Hey! We can't talk about that."
Naruto could hear their whispering. Feeling hurt, he began to walk away. As he was walking away Mizuki stopped him.
"Naruto"
" Hai, Mizuki-sensei?"
"Iruka-sensei Is a serious person. His parents were killed when he was young, and he's had to do everything for himself" Mizuki said.
"but why does he only pick on me?" Naruto replied.
"He probably sees himself a you, he's probably thinking he wants you to become strong. Try to understand Iruka's feeling since you also have no parents" Mizuki replied.
"But I wish I graduated", Naruto said dejectedly.
"Well then, how about I tell you about a secret?" Mizuki said.
"What are you doing in my house at this hour?" The Hokage asked.
Naruto started sweating at being caught. He decided to use his own super awesome jutsu to get away.
"Oiroke no jutsu" Naruto shouted as he transformed in a busty, naked female with smoke covering her private parts. The Hokage, surprised by this sudden move and being a pervert, erupted in fountain of a nose bleed and was propelled to the back of the room, knocked unconscious. Naruto couldn't believe it, he had defeated the Hokage. Now, he had to complete his mission and begin searching for scroll of seals. He found it and escaped into the forest surrounding the village. Unknown to him Mizuki was following him and saw him leave the compound. 'all according to the plan' he thought.
(Flashback end)
Now he just had to learn a jutsu from the scroll. He opened the scroll and found it filled with seals. There were many so seals in the scroll, Naruto was hooked. The Academy only taught them the usage of storage scrolls and explosive tags as an introduction to Fuinjutsu, but seeing so many seals got Naruto interested. He didn't know so many seals were possible, but he first had to learn a Jutsu from the scroll to pass and graduate. So he began scanned the scroll for Ninjutsu. The first jutsu he came across was Kage Bunshin no jutsu. 'Kage Bunshin no jutsu? What the hell! Why does it start with the one I'm bad at? No matter, I will master it and graduate, dattebayo!
It took him only 3 hours to learn and master the Jutsu. Mastering it to single hand seal and internalizing the remaining hand seals took him 3 more hours, as the scroll said that mastering it to single hand seal was necessary, being a hidden jutsu of Konoha. As soon as he mastered the jutsu, he began to celebrate
"Yatta! I did it. I mastered the jutsu! Now I will graduate for sure." And then started dancing around the clearing. But then he realized that Mizuki-sensei didn't give him the location or the time of meeting . So he decided that he would learn more Justus's from the scroll. Maybe he would get extra credit for it.
Reopening the scroll, Naruto noticed he forgot to read the description of jutsu in his hurry to learn it. After reading the description, he couldn't stop himself from smiling . It said that the clones could use jutsu and send their memory to the user upon dispelling. But winced after reading that it required high chakra reserves and could potentially kill the user if they made more than their reserves could handle. Also, dispelling large numbers of clones simultaneously could cause brain damage to the user due to memory backlash. He vowed that he would not make more than 10 clones at a time unless it was necessary or he felt he could handle more. While Naruto may have been an idiot, he wasn't stupid.
Just below Kage Bunshin he found two more jutsu related to it. They were Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and Bunshin Daibakuha. It said that the Shuriken Kage bunshin no jutsu was forbidden only because it requires the user to know the Kage bunshin beforehand, which is a forbidden jutsu. Bunshin Daibakuha was forbidden because it required high chakra reserves, at least Jonin level to use, and required the user to master the kage bunshin beforehand, however both of their uses was amazing.
Shuriken kage bunshin let the user to create copies of weapons thrown in mid air, creating a barrage of weapons to rain down on the enemy. the area of effect is determined by the proficiency of user, whereas Bunshin Daibakuha let the user to create suicide bomber clones which can be detonated by the user or clone itself. It was considered nearly undetectable for non-sensors and Non-Doujutsu users.
He grinned after reading this, as he knew they were not dangerous to him, having already mastered Kage bunshin which required at least low Jonin chakra reserves to create only one clone, while he had created 10 with plenty of chakra to spare. This meant he had higher chakra reserves than most Jonin. So Naruto started learning them.
Iruka was lying in his bed, thinking about the conversation he had with Hokage earlier in the day. when he was broken from his thoughts by a knock on his door. When answered it, he saw it was Mizuki. "What is it?", Iruka asked.
"We must go to Hokage-sama's place, Naruto has taken the scroll of forbidden seals as a joke"Mizuki replied.
Iruka was shocked. He couldn't imagine in his wildest dreams that Naruto could do something like this.
"He won't get away with this one! Hokage-sama!"
"Yeah!" Ninjas in front of hokage residence shouted.
"Yes, those are dangerous jutsu forbidden by the previous Hokage's. If used in certain ways it could cause incredible trouble", the Third Hokage replied "It's been a half a day since the scroll was taken we must hurry and find Naruto"
"Hai" all the Ninjas shouted in unison as they left quickly, leaving dust in their wake.
'I should check the woods' Iruka thought.
'I'll spread the word throughout the village a little more then I'll get rid of Naruto I'll make it look like Naruto disappeared with the scroll' thought Mizuki then decided to follow Iruka afterwards as he knew only Iruka could find him. Iruka was a sensor, which he used to find Naruto after his major pranks when he would hide and escape from other chunin.
Iruka arrived in the clearing with the cabin. He saw Naruto leaning against the scroll with his head down "..I found you, Hey!" he spoke ominously.
"I found you, you pervert!" Naruto shouted.
"Idiot I found you" Iruka shouted using his big head jutsu. Iruka sighed. Naruto rubbed back of his head nervously.
"You found me I have only learned three skills" Naruto said.
"Hey you are all beaten up what were you doing?" Iruka asked.
"Never mind that. hey! hey! I am going to try an incredible skill if I do it let me graduate!" Naruto replied.
'So you're practicing here enough to damage your body' Iruka thought and then spoke "Naruto where did you get that scroll on your back".
"This! Mizuki-sensei told me about it. He told me about the secret graduation exam."
'There is something wrong here why would Naruto lie about something like this. I should get some more details' Iruka thought. "Secret graduation exam?"
" Yeah! he told me that I have retrieve scroll from the Hokage's residence and escape with it without being caught, then I had to learn a skill from the scroll, but he forgot to tell me about the time and place I had to meet him after completing my mission. so here I am. So you are here to evaluate me, right!" Naruto explained to him enthusiastically.
'Looks like Naruto isn't lying. It seems that Mizuki used him to get this scroll, but why? First I should take the scroll and Naruto back to the Hokage Tower and tell Hokage-sama about it' Iruka thought and seethed inwardly that his friend could do something so treacherous.
"Naruto! Mizuki lied to you, there is no secret graduation exam. We have to take the scroll to Hokage-sa… Watch out!" Iruka cried and pushed Naruto away as he saw kunai flying towards them and braced for impact, being impaled by some of them. Both Iruka and Naruto looked up and saw it was Mizuki who threw the kunai. He had two giant shuriken strapped on his back.
"Nice job in finding him" Mizuki said. "Naruto give me the scroll."
"Wh-what's going on here?!" Naruto asked confusedly.
"Naruto! don't give him the scroll, that is a dangerous scroll that has forbidden jutsu and seals in it. Mizuki used you in order to get his hand on it" Iruka shouted.
"Naruto there's no point in you having it. Give it to me, I'll tell you the truth why everyone hates you" Mizuki spoke.
Iruka's eyes widened. He realized what secret Mizuki was talking about. "N..NO! DON'T!" Iruka shouted
"12 years ago you know that the demon Fox was defeated by the Fourth, right? Since that incident a new rule was created" Mizuki said.
"A rule?!" Naruto asked confusedly.
"But Naruto this rule was never meant to be told to you" Mizuki said further
"Not told to me? what is this rule? why?" Naruto was curious and confused.
"hehehehe" Mizuki chuckled ominously.
"What kind of rule is it?" Naruto asked.
"The rule is that nobody is allowed to talk about the fact that the fourth Hokage defeated the Kyuubi by sealing it inside a baby." Mizuki said.
"huh! A baby?" Naruto could feel where this was going but he wanted to hear it.
"That baby was you. You are the demon Fox!"
"huh! what do you mean?" Naruto asked dreading the answer.
"STOP IT" Iruka shouted.
"It means that you are the Kyuubi that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed the village", Mizuki said. "you were sealed up by the Hokage you admire and..."
"STOP IT" Iruka shouted
"..you have been lied to by everyone. Didn't you find it odd how everyone hated you? Iruka is the same, he actually hates you Naruto!" Mizuki shouted the last part preparing to throw his giant shuriken by rotating it at high speed. "Nobody will ever accept you!"
Naruto's whole world came falling down. Everyone had lied to him. Even Iruka hated him.
Iruka remembered Hokage's words 'Naruto's never known a parents love and is hated by all the village due to that incident. To get attention he makes a lot of trouble. He's seeking acknowledgement of his existence in any way possible. He acts tough, but he is truly suffering.'
"That scroll was used to seal you up" shouted Mizuki throwing the giant Shuriken.
Naruto, seeing the giant shuriken coming towards him closed his eyes and braced for impact and pain. Then he heard the sound of shuriken impacting flesh, but he felt no pain so he opened his eyes. What he saw was Iruka-Sensei crouching over him with giant shuriken sticking out of his back.
"Why?" Naruto asked.
"My...my parents, after they died there was nobody to compliment me or acknowledge me. So I was sad. I would always act like an idiot to get peoples attention since I wasn't able to do well in things like School and get attention that way. It was better than being nothing, so I kept acting like an idiot. It was so painful. Naruto, you must have been in a lot of pain too. I am sorry, Naruto If I had done a better job, you won't have had to feel like this." Iruka replied in a painful voice, remembering his own childhood.
Naruto was confused and hurt. On one hand, Mizuki-Sensei said that he was the Demon Fox. On the other hand, Iruka-Sensei said that he could relate with Naruto and the loneliness he felt. Sad, hurt, and confused, he ran away.
"Naruto!" Iruka called out to him seeing him run away.
"Hehehehe! Sorry but Naruto isn't that type to have a change of heart. He plans to use the scroll to get revenge on the village. You saw those eyes earlier, those were the eyes of a demon" Mizuki said.
"Gah!" Iruka groaned removing the shuriken from his back. "Naruto isn't like that" Iruka said.
"Well that doesn't really matter. I'll kill Naruto and get the scroll, then i'll take care of you. " Mizuki said, before leaving towards Naruto's direction as Iruka was not in any condition to fight.
"ugh" Iruka groaned, trying to move.
"We should have killed him!. Now we have to get him before he releases his demon power." one ninja said.
"He's very dangerous. Kill him if you find him". another ninja suggested.
"YEAH" all of them agreed.
In the Hokage's office, the Hokage found Naruto with his crystal ball and saw the whole debacle. 'I finally find him and I see this. Mizuki has told him and now Naruto is afraid like never before. The power that is sealed may be released, plus he is holding the scroll of seals. The odds of him being able to break the seal and releasing the Kyuubi no Kitsune is one in a million, But it is possible...and if that happens...
In the trees while tree hopping Iruka saw Naruto just ahead so he increased his speed to catch up.
"Naruto!" he shouted, "Hurry! pass me the scroll! Mizuki is after it!."
But to his surprise Naruto punched him in the stomach knocking his breath out. He saw Naruto falling and skidding to tree and stopping after impacting the tree.
"What? Why Naruto?" He asked in painful voice. Then he released his transformation to reveal himself as Mizuki "How did you know I wasn't Iruka?" He asked.
"Hehehehe" Naruto chuckled before releasing transformation to reveal himself as Iruka. "Because I'm Iruka" he answered.
"I see..." Mizuki said, "Hehehehe, you would even transform into what killed your parents to protect him?"
"I won't hand over the scroll to an idiot like you" Iruka said.
"You're the idiot. Naruto and I are the same"
"The same?" Iruka asked.
Unknown to them Naruto was listening to their conversation.
"If you use the skills from that scroll, you can do whatever you want." Mizuki said "There's no way that the Kyuubi wouldn't use the power, Unlike what you are assuming"
"yeah" Iruka agreed.
'Damn… I knew it… see even Iruka-sensei deep down doesn't acknowledge me' Naruto thought in anger
"The Kyuubi would do that, but Naruto is different...he is goofy, childish, and doesn't pay enough attention in class, but I have acknowledged him as one of my excellent students. He may be an idiot but he isn't stupid. He is one of the hardest workers and he is clumsy so nobody accepts him. He already knows what it is to feel pain in your heart. He isn't the demon fox anymore. He is a member of konohagakure. HE'S UZUMAKI NARUTO!" Iruka cried
Naruto hearing this started crying.
Mizuki seethed hearing this "Okay whatever... Iruka I said I would take care of you later but I'm changing my mind"
"ah" Iruka groaned because of his injury.
"hurry up and die" Mizuki cried preparing to throw his giant Shuriken.
'so this is it' Iruka thought.
Then Naruto suddenly appeared and kicked Mizuki on the face making the giant shuriken go wide.
'Fast' Iruka thought seeing Naruto suddenly appearing in front of Mizuki kicking him.
"You should not have done that" Mizuki whispered.
"Don't touch Iruka-sensei! I'll kill you!" Naruto cried in barely suppressed rage.
"You idiot why did you come out?! Run away!" Iruka cried.
"Shut up, punk! I'll kill in one shot" Mizuki shouted.
"Try it trash! I'll return the pain 1000 times over" Naruto shouted, making the shadow clone hand seal.
"Do it demon Fox" Mizuki cried
"Tajuu Kage bunshin no jutsu!" Naruto bellowed, molding the required chakra to perform the jutsu. The clearing was filled with clones of Naruto. Everywhere you could see a sea of orange that was Naruto's jumpsuit.
"Wha-What's going on?!" Mizuki looked around in fear.
"What's wrong? Weren't you going to kill me with one shot? Well then...I'll start things off!" all clones spoke in unison.
Mizuki started sweating.
One big ass kicking later, Naruto dispelled all his clones, then feeling their memories coming back to him felt the memory backlash of dispelling over thousand clone stumbled gripping his head from pain. He vowed not to dispel so many clones at once. In the center of clearing lied th bruised and broken body of Mizuki.
'He really did create a thousand plus clones, and that was the Kage Bunshin. which is a high level Ninjutsu. He may surpass all the previous Hokage.' Iruka thought
Naruto feeling his headache getting better stumbled towards Iruka and chuckled "Hehehehe… I may have went little too far."
"Naruto come here. There is something I want to give you...Close your eyes... Congratulations on graduating Naruto"
Naruto opened his eyes to see Iruka's bare forehead and knew Iruka had given him his forehead protector.
"Let's celebrate, I'll buy you bowl of Ramen...oof!" Iruka groaned as Naruto has hugged him rather tightly, while he was still injured. He had planned to lecture Naruto that the hard part of being a Shinobi had just begun. well he'd save that for Ichiraku.
