Naruto was in pain. He had been stabbed by a kunai that was unlike any he had seen before. Instead of one blade, it had three prongs and some seal on the handle.

There Demon, now the Fourth Hokage has killed you for sure, you can go to hell where you sent him. I wiped the blade so there won't be any evidence like prints. And Mizuki will cover for me. Goodbye Demon Kitsune.

Naruto didn't know what the man was talking about; he just knew he had so much pain going through his body he couldn't even stand.

Iruka had had a mission assigned to him and their substitute teacher had asked him to stay after class. When everyone had left the sub had pulled out the kunai and stabbed him in the heart.

"Good bye, Demon."

Naruto collapsed to the floor.

When Iruka came to the classroom he saw blood splattered on the window, Hurrying in he saw Naruto bleeding profusely on the ground a knife stabbed into his heart. Not thinking he grabbed naruto and ran to the Hospital.

In Naruto's mind

The Kyuubi was livid. Naruto had done nothing to deserve this, and he had been blamed time and time again for Madera's evil. And all this hatred directed to a child.

Huh so the idiots did it again, but this time in the heart. This is going to strain him when I heal him. Guess I have no choice though.

Red chakra was suffusing the boys body as Iruka carried him, almost making Iruka drop him.

Don't stop running you idiot, I'm keeping this boy alive but I can't do it forever, get him to the hospital NOW, before he dies.

"Kyuubi?" Iruka asked

NO, Santa Clause. Hurry you moron.

"Gomen." Picking up the pace, Iruka arrived at the hospital.

XIX

Iruka's arrival was seen by some people in the Hospital. Some thought along the lines of "Hurray! Who do we give the medal to for killing the fox."

But some were thinking, "Not again, how often will the Village try to kill the poor child."

Iruka went to the Emergency doctor he knew didn't hate Naruto. One sane man out of a hundred. After securing naruto treatment, he went off to the Hokage's Office.

"Ah Iruka I trust the mission went well." Immediately he knew something was wrong, as Iruka was out of breath and his cheeks were tear-stained.

"What happened?" Sarutobi asked.

"Naruto was almost killed today, Hokage-sama." Iruka responded.

"By whom?" The Hokage asked.

"I Suspect it was my substitute teacher." Iruka said. "But naruto had one of the Fourth Hokage's kunai in his heart. Also the Kyuubi talked to me through Naruto. He kept him alive."

"I want a full report of this and also please tell my receptionist to send for Shusuke Kurenshi."

"Hai, Hokage-sama."

XIX

When Shusuke came through the doors he thought he would get a medal. Instead he was quickly bound by the Anbu and taken to Ibiki Morino and Anko Mitarashi for a double tort… I mean Interrogation session. Then, after that, he suffered a slow and painful
death by one of Anko's more diabolically Venomous Snakes. 24 hours of pain and then death.

Naruto was slowly waking up in a sewer.

Kami-sama sent me to a sewer as my afterlife? This is so not happening? Does kami-sama hate pranks that much?

Elsewhere Kami was laughing her head off at the latest prank she pulled on the Shinigami. She used some industrial strength Super Glue on his sheath so he couldn't draw his sword.

"No you Brat she is actually a prankster, too." A voice emanated from a cage behind naruto.

When he turned around he saw a large fox. "Who are you?" he asked stupidly.

"Kyuubi no Yoko, at your service against my will, brat." The creature said.

"Wait I thought you were dead…" Naruto said.

"Why do you always think I'm dead? But anyway I am sealed into you not dead yet, although today was a close call."

But anyway, I called you here to have a talk about all that has happened to you and all that will happen to you in the future. But first, why haven't you been doing all that you are capable of in school?

Because I… Nobody wants to teach me anything except Iruka-sensai and plus people hated me even more when I got good grades so I decided to not get good grades so people wouldn't hate me so much.

And look where that got you, a knife in the heart. Baka why would you make yourself into someone else's expectations I want you to try hard in school from now on. NO EXCUSES NO EXCEPTIONS! If you want to be Hokage someday then you must graduate at the top of your class. Do that and I will activate your Kekkei Genkai.

I have a Kekkei Genkai? What is it?

The bloodline limit that hasn't been seen since my sealing, you have the avian bloodline. That's all I'll tell you now.

All Right then, I'll earn that bloodline. Believe it.

A.N.P.S. Guess what the bloodline limit is. 20 brownie points if you can. See ya.
