READ AND REVIEW!! NOW ONWARDS TO THE CHAPTER!

--

The sun's rising from the horizon and the birds chirp their morning songs. In the distance a rooster is heard calling to the waking light beyond the trees. So peaceful in the morning...

The sound of whirling metal made itself known in the deep forest, soon the whooshing of fast moving objects could be heard. The whirling sound was lost as the clanging of wood being hit, soon enough the whooshing objects did the same, except the sound of metal upon metal crashing against eachother sent sound waves through the morning silence.

A figure came close to a wooden pole with targets set upon it. The figure's hair and outfit could be made out from a close distance. Blonde unruly hair and a orange and black jumpsuit. The figure smirked wide as he saw he hit all the targets at the direct middle of the bullseye where a VERY small blue dot was made, and has embedded the shuriken even furthur into his target with a kunai that had went into the bullseye's blue dot.

Naruto uzumaki, class dropout and all-time dobe and number one prankster of the village hidden in the leaves, konohagakure no sato. He took the ninja tools out of his training dummy and put them back in his pouch. "That concludes my morning target practice. Now for some breakfast." He walked off back into his village which was a good mile away.

He liked going far away in a secluded area, making sure no one saw him. If he was seen and his secret training camp was discovered then he'd be in trouble. He stopped at a broken tree trunk on the ground. It wasn't no ordinary tree trunk though. He stepped onto it and rolled up his sleeves and his pant legs, tying them where they were so he could have more free movement. Inside this tree trunk there were more then one hundred explosive tags read to blow if you didn't step on the log JUST right. He bent down and jumped in the air at an angle with his arms out.

He flipped forward once and looked as if he were going to land on his feet, but instead flipped back as if he were reversing his last flip. In a matter of seconds his hands stopped his fall on the ground, but he thrust his legs forward and as close to his body as possible as his legs went forward.

By the naked eye it would seem as though he were doing gymnastics, but a look closer you would see thousands upon thousands of tripwires. He was trying to get out of his training area through them it seemed.

His feet touched down and he stayed there for a moment. He pushed himself up on his two feet, using the momentum he jumped and rolled over three more wires and ducked under ten more. On the last roll he thrust himself up and onto his ankles, Even a ninja with perfect balance would fall back in this position. His feet were above a close tripwire with one just behind his ankle.

He fell back but grabbed onto a wire...It didn't detonate anything or activated a trap. "Ok, i always use this route to get back because it's much easier then the rest. This false tripwire was needed or i would set off my own traps. heh, good thing even the hokage can't maintain his balance at this point." Naruto used the wire to gain momentum for his next move.

He ducked and jumped up, doing a slow somersault and landing on his fingertips. His fingers were going through small holes made by the ground wires. He moved his legs and pulled them in just enough before striking them back and pushing himself back, landing on his very tip toes.

He suddenly jumped and balled up once he was ballanced on his fingers. He hated this part. He jumped straight up. He moved at an angle so slight you would think he was just jumping straight up, but in reality he moved at an angle and bent his knees at a curve at twenty feet from the ground. With enough power he actually curved his body and gone through the small hole in the tripwires going up as if it were an invisible wall. He touched down and sighed.

He took one step and stopped. He looked down and found a small line, barely visible if you didn't look directly at the middle of it. He moved to the side as if he were stretching his legs, but his straightened leg skidded on the ground, creating a small pile of dirt as it made a small trail. Suddenly he felt pressure push on the dirt and stopped. He smiled as the illusion went away and there was a rock.

He redid the illusion and stepped with his outstretched foot not moving one bit. He stood straight and looked thinner as he slowly walked forward. After a good minute of slowly walking forward he relaxed and ran towards the village. In the morning light suddenly hitting the wires, it was the hardest looking maze of tripwires you have ever seen.

naruto had just entered town and stretched. "Even though that was the easiest way out, my hand almost set off the wall of tripwires. That jump's harder then it looks." Naruto walked furthur into his home village. There was his favorite food stand. Ichiraku ramen.

It wasn't his favorite because of the food, he's eaten ramen so much you'd think he would grow sick by now, and sick of ramen by now. He gone to ichiraku's ramen because it was the only place in town that would serve him any food at a price he could afford. It was also his favorite because that is where he made his first bond with real human beings.

He was always accepted here, always liked for him. He loved ichiraku's for the food, for the friends, and for the acceptance. He was given other foods other then ramen to live off of thanks to the two people who worked there. he always got free vegetables and free fruit and meat that wasn't put into the mix yet. This place was a second and better home to him then anything.

he remembered when he almost died when he was five years old.

FLASHBACK

Naruto was freezing in the night, it was below freezing in konoha due to the fall season. He only had a wet towel to keep him warm. He kept a kunai knife in hand to protect him from the villagers in which hated him. He neevr knew why he was hated. He never knew why he was called grusome names. All he knew was that he was a boy with no family and nowhere to live.

He heard footsteps over his chattering teeth. Only one person it sounded like, and that person was nearing him. He just hid behind the trashcan near him and waited for the villager to pass. The Villager grew nearer and nearer...

Old man ichiraku was making his nightly deliveries around town. He was going back to close up shop with his daughter ayame. When he rounded the corner he heard the sound of chattering teeth. He looked around and didn't see anyone. He walked closer and closer to the sound. Finally he saw the source. He saw blonde hair around the trashcan.

He came nearer and looked behind it and saw a boy. A boy no more then five wrapped in a wet and cold blanket. The boy held the kunai up for protection. The man was sad, what would a little boy be doing all by himself out this late? "Hey boy, why are you out this late? don't you got parent's?" The boy shook his head.

The old man looked into the blonde's eyes. He saw those eyes before. "Pure determination and a strong will to protect. Those were the same as..." he looked at the hokage mountain behind him. "Yondaime, minato namikaze, hokage." He looked back at the boy. "Well it won't due for you to be freezing cold out this late at night. Come with me." Naruto put the kunai down a bit with a shocked look on his face.

Naruto didn't know what to do. "Is he going to lure me into a trap and rape me?! or is he going to try and kill me!?" Naruto jumped up and swung the kunai at the old man. The man caught the hand and held it away. "Hey kid, all i asked was for you to come with me. Your freezing and probably hungry right?" Naruto tried in vain to break free. "Answer me kid!" naruto stopped and looked horrified. The man was already yelling.

The old man saw naruto's face and sighed. "What's happened to this boy? Is he that terrified by other people?" The old man smiled. "Hey kid what's your name?" Naruto tried once more to break free but knew it wouldn't happen he just gave in. "N-n-n-naruto, naruto uzumaki." The old man smiled more. "Now we're getting somewhere. Better yet, his name resembles that of a ramen dish."

The old man looked at the kunai. "Naruto, i'll let go of your hand if you promise not to attack me." naruto nodded. The old man smiled and let go. Naruto ran back a little bit and stopped.

The old man stood up. "Come with me, i'll see what we can do about getting you some food." Naruto was shocked at the man. No one has ever offered him anything. His stomach growled all night, and now he's going to be able to eat? naruto nodded.

Old man ichiraku led the boy to his ramen shop. He told naruto to go to the front and take a seat. He came in the back door. "Ayame i'm back." A girl no more then 9 was cleaning the counter tops. She looked at her father and smiled. "Hello daddy!" He hugged his little girl and stood up all the way again. "We have a late night customer." She looked at the seats and saw a small boy sit down in the middle.

The man smiled as he walked up to the boy from behind the counter. "Now naruto, see those letters on the board there?" Naruto looked up to where he was pointing and saw it. He nodded. "Ok, now, on that board is everything we serve in this tiny shop of ours." Naruto licked his lips. He was finally going to eat!!

"I want you to read the board and tell me what you want." Naruto nodded frantically. The man went to his daughter and took a knee. "Now ayame, this boy doesn't have any parent's and doesn't have any money. He's wet and cold and hungry and needs a place to stay and a place to eat. Whatever he chooses we shall not charge him anything for his food. When he's older and has some money we will finally charge him as to not be biased. For now he is a defenseless, cold and hungry little boy. Do you understand?" Ayame nodded.

Naruto finally read the board. He needed to read in order to find out where he was and where he needed to go to run away from the villagers who hated him. "OLD MAN! I'LL HAVE A MISO!!" The old man chuckled and prepped the broth and noodles "Coming right up."

In a matter of seconds the bowl of steaming noodles and broth was set in front of him. Naruto picked up the bowl and tried to gulp it all down in one bite. Right when the broth hit his tongue he screamed so loud the whole village could hear and dropped his bowl, sending it crashing on the ground. "HOT!!" The old man chuckled and had another bowl ready. He knew naruto would try something like that.

The man gave naruto chop sticks and got some of his own. "Now naruto, don't go head first into the ramen, savor the taste of it. Use the chopsticks like this." He broke the sticks apart and placed them in his fingers. He waited till naruto got it and started to move the sticks in a way to clamp and unclamp them as if he were trying to grab something with them. Naruto took a few moments but he finally got it.

The man smiled more. "Your a fast learner aren't you?" Naruto nodded and smiled. "Now, try eating with the chopsticks." naruto slowly tried to pick the wet noodled up from inside the brother. He finally did and blew on it, to make it cooler. He slurped up the noodles until the whole noodle was in his mouth and began to chew. To his taste buds this was heaven. "IT'S GOOD!" He ate his miso ramen noodles in a sinch, and almost right after he ate the few side substances in the bowl. After he was done eating the solid foods he finally picked up and bowl and slowly drank down the whole broth. He sighed contently and laid his head down. He was fast asleep.

The old man picked him up and wrapped him in a dry and warm, but steamy towel. He placed two chairs together and moved them under the inside of the store's counter and laid naruto in the seats. He cleaned everything and turned off the lights, all but a candle to keep the store lite. he and his daughter looked at the boy once more. "Goodnight naruto. Sweet dreams" he and his daughter left.

END FLASHBACK

Naruot had finished fifteen bowls of ramen and sat back, patting his full stomach. "That was the best old man, thanks a bunch." Ichiraku himself smiled. "No problem naruto, and don't worry about the payment, it's on the house this morning." naruto smiled truly. "Thanks old man. I appriciate it." Naruto got up and smiled his trademark grin. "See you guys later, and ayame, make sure you remember to keep a watch on your father. He is slowing down some it seems." Ayame giggled as her father laughed.

Naruto ran out and gone into the street. Soon chouji came into view. Chouji always came in after naruto left, but this morning he seemed to be early. Chouji met naruto in the street. "Hey naruto, are you just leaving?" Naruto nodded. "Yeah i already got my share of ramen this morning. I'm going to see the old man." Chouji nodded and smiled. "I hope it goes well with the hokage. i have to get some ramen now or i'll die of tasteless chips." naruto laughed as he and chouji went their ways. naruto ran all the way to the hokage tower, passing by a few villagers as he gained in distance. He jumped up to the office window.

He knocked on the glass and the hokage puffed out some smoke. "The window's unlocked, no need to be polite now naruto." Naruto laughed a little bit as he opened the window. he came in and closed it behind him, standing next to the old man hokage.

The hokage stopped doing his paperwork after he finished his current peice of paperwork. "So, naruto, what can i do for you?" naruto sighed. "Old man hokage, i can't use the clone jutsu and it's the graduation test today." The hokage shook his head. "Sorry to say naruto but i can't help you there."

Naruto grew serious. "I know it has something to do with my high amount of chakra old man. I have too much chakra to attempt it, which is why i overdo it thinking i have to little. I tried this morning and i could barely make one clone still. This test has been given three times in a row. I think the academy is being biased and having that test only because they know no matter how hard i try i can't do it." The hokage smiled. naruto wasn't neccesarily dead last, he was smarter then sakura if not by three times.

"Naruto, i know it's hard for you, but as of right now we cannot do anything to stop the tests. the counsil agrees that the tests will be overridden from my word by the academy if it is a unanamyous decision. No matter what i say i can't help you naruto." Naruto growled under his breath.

"Old man, you do realize the council hates me. Why not send a message to the fire lord and have someone help me?" The hokage had sighed more. "I can't do that. The fire lord would agree with the council even if i explained the situation. No matter what i can't let information get out and risk more damage to your well-being. Naruto it is my responsibility to keep my people safe and your one of them, and even a precious one at that. Just go with it until the tests change. The council did agree with me that to be fair to you we would have them change the test a little bit next year. That's as good as i can give you at this point in time." Naruto sighed. At least there was some hope.

Naruto smiled and went out the window with a simple goodbye to the hokage. The third smoked on his pipe. "That boy is going to have a hard lfie, but at least there's something going for him." he smiled as he remembered naruto's progress in his life. He had the most potential out of anyone.

He remembered the first night in which the owner of the ichiraku ramen stand came to his door late at night.

FLASHBACK

The third heard a knock at the door. "Come in." The door opened to welcome old man ichiraku. "Well hello there tensai, how's your daughter doing?" Tensai smiled as he walked up. "She's doing wonderfully, third hokage. But i didn't come here to drabble on about my family or buisness."

The third puffed out some smoke. "What's wrong tensai?" Tensai looked serious to be sure. "There was this boy i found tonight, he was cold and hungry and most likely an orphan. He looked starved to death." The third looked up with a serious face. "And what did this boy look like?"

Tensai described the boy. After hearing of naruto the hokage stood up and looked out his window. "Tensai, you do know who that boy is right?" Tensai shook his head. "He is the container for the kyuubi no kitsune." Tensai gasped. He saw the battle and knew the handsigns the yondaime used. "So that boy was the sacrifice?" The third sighed. 'Yes he is. But the villagers seem to think instead of naruto being a boy, he IS the kyuubi. He is orphaned since his parent's died, he is hated so bad he has murder attempts on his life every day. Naruto is only a boy, do you understand?" Tensai smiled and chuckled a bit. "You think too little of me sandaime. He is a human being but special in his own way. Kyuubi be damned, naruto is still a child and deserves a normal childhood."

The third smiled. At least someone was good. "Tensai, i know you didn't come here to chat on who the boy was." Tensai laughed good and hard. "Your right. i asked if he would be able to stay at my house each night for a place to sleep. Every day he is a guest but at night he is welcome into my home and can have a nice bed to sleep in. Will you allow me that sandaime?" The third nodded.

He smiled. "Now go, i have work to do." Tensai bowed and left. The third looked over his village. It was calm at night.

END FLASHBACK

The hokage was interupted as a knock came to his door. "Enter." Iruka came into his office. "Iruka, as i thought. What brings you here?" Iruka smiled. "hello hokage, i just wanted to ask permission to give a special test to naruto. He's dead last in the classroom and he really wants to pass this year. he's getting good at henge's, even if they are for his childish pranks." The third sighed once more that day. "Iruka, you know it's out of my hands. unless you can get one teacher on your side to give naruto a different test i cannot overrule the council." Iruka frowned. he had tried for the past week. Not one teacher, even his friends, wouldn't allow it.

iruka sighed. "I understand sir, i'll just have to wish naruto luck." The third smiled a bit. "That's the spirit. we'll both wish him luck." iruka smiled. He bowed. "Thank you for your audiance sir, i'll be on my way. Class and all." The third nodded as iruka walked out.

Iruka walked out of the hokage tower and towards the academy. It seemed so long ago since naruto came into his class.

FLASHBACK

It was the begining of a new year of the ninja academy. His new student's were pretty smart and had high chances to pass next year. All but one seemed to be talented enough to be a ninja. The only one with a dead last grade was a naruto uzumaki. His class started to come into the room.

The first few students came in and one caught his eye. It was the hyuuga heir, hinata hyuuga. She was the quiet shy type of girl who only talked when talked to. After a few more people came into his class he saw a sasuke uchiha. He seemed pretty gloomy and angry from what happened to his family. He also had the highest of scores in his year of students at the academy. Close to his brother itachi uchiha who scored perfect in everything, the uchiha prodigy...though he wouldn't saw that to sasuke's face or it would be ripped off by the name of the once 'kind older brother' being mentioned

The last of the student's came in. The last one to come in finally was a blonde haired kid who he was shocked to see. He looked like a miniture minato namikaze, the yondaime hokage. He looked at his papers and he was naruto uzumaki. The dead last...

That day everything went without a hitch, and naruto had proved he was somewhat intelligent and passed in math. All others he was just below passing. Iruka let his class go and cleaned his classroom. He found a paper in naruto's seat. It was to him.

"Iruka-sensei, your class was really fun. I hope i have your class until i graduate! I hope i did ok on my paper's If i didn't i promise to get better. I'm also sorry about what might happen when you leave. It isn't aimed towards you or anything, but i wanted to get back at my past teachers. they were all jerks who henge'd my tests so i failed. Don't tell on me please? they deserve at least one goodbye present from me since i'll make a deal with the hokage to let me stay in your class!

Sincerally your student,

Naruto Uzumaki!"

Iruka was curious what would happen. Naruto seemed a bit smarter then what he saw in class, or so this note promised.

After a few hours he went to the bathroom, and suddenly his butt itched to where he almost scratched it off. He screamed in pain from sitting all the rest of the day. "Naruto, i should have seen this coming! This is punishment? it should suffice i think!"

The next day everything was fine. naruto even passed his papers, but just barely. He was still dead last it seemed. After class was over, he left the school and suddenly a jounin proctor came to him. "Iruka omino?" Iruka nodded. "We wish to have you participate in the jounin exams. You have shown great skill and talent to be an elite." Iruka had always waited for this day to come! but he thought about naruto's note.

"Has naruto actually had that bad of an academy year last year and the years before?" He sighed and took the paper he was handed. "I'll think it over. Tomorrow you'll have you answer." The jounin nodded and walked away. iruka went to the hokage's office.

He knocked and was welcomed in. "Hokage, sir, i have a question." The third puffed on his pipe. "Ask away iruka." Iruka sighed. "It's about naruto uzumaki. Did he have that bad of an academy life?" The third nodded. He saw the note. "He's also had a rough normal life too. Murder attempts on his life and what not." Iruka was saddened to hear that. He knew naruto was the container but why did he have such a rough life?

He sighed. "I will turn down the jounin offer and continue teaching naruto." The third smiled. "Good to hear. Keep an eye on him iruka, and make sure he has somewhat of a good life." Iruka nodded and walked out.

END FLASHBACK

Iruka walked into his classroom. Naruto was there and he smiled. He hoped naruto luck this year. "Ok class! go to the testing room so you can be tested on who will be a genin or not!" They all moved to the testing room. Most of the class passed with flying colors, but naruto failed badly. Iruka was saddened at that.

Naruto just couldn't do a clone jutsu. "Naruto, sorry to say but you've failed the exam." naruto walked out of the room, and out of the academy. He sat on the swing and waited for eevryone to start celebrating. After awhile they did. Everyone was with their parents showing off their headbands. One saw naruto. "Hey look it's that kid."

The girls friend looked. "Yeah, i'm glad he didn't pass. Do you know how bad it would be if he was a ninja? We can't have the K-" The girl interupted her friend. "SHHH, We're not supposed to talk about that!" Suddenly naruto felt someone come near him. It was one of the teachers. "Hey naruto, iruka's just trying to help you grow stronger so don't feel bad. I know another way for you to pass." Naruto knew this was only a ploy to lure him into a trap, but his dobe mask had to stay up. "OK!"

At the entrance to the academy stood iruka and the hokage, staring Wearily at the silver haired chuunin standing beside naruto. "Iruka, i'm trusting you to keep this secret?" Iruka nodded. "Yes sir, i'll keep an eye on him." The hokage nodded and walked away "I have some buisness to take care of iruka, make sure nothing goes wrong." Iruka nodded before deciding to help the children sort themselves through the celebrations.

Naruto and mizuki were sitting on a ledge at the top of a building. "Iruka wants you to be strong naruto, but he knows he needs to be tough in order to make sure you can prove everyone your not a drop out ninja." naruto knew this was just a lie. iruka was the best teacher he ever had, and was never biased over something he never knew about.

He still needed his dobe mask to wrok until he was at least a chuunin. "Then why only me?" Mikuzi smirked just a bit. "He's like you. No parents, family, nothing to call his own except his title as chuunin, teacher, and the respect he has for everyone he knows." Naruto was saddened at that. He knew about iruka's past to a point, but never knew anything that could help him understand what's wrong with him.

Naruto finally let down his mask for a second. "I really wanted to graduate, but no matter how hard i try i can never create a decent clone." He put it back on quick to make sure he didn't let out too much. Mizuki curled a bigger grin before just smiling. "Then here's a way to pass. Ready for it?" naruto nodded a little surprised on his face, but on the inside he was angry.

IRUKA'S HOUSE

Iruka was laying in bed, getting ready for anything that might come in suddenly. He knew mizuki was corrupted and needed to have something against him or they wouldn't be able to know who he was really with. He waited for the moment the hokage found something so he could go get mizuki once and for all.

A knock came to the door and iruka smiled. "FInally." He opened the door and instead of the hokage, mizuki himself was there, panting out of breath. "IRUKA! it's naruto! he stole the secret scroll!!" Iruka gasped. "It can't be, naruto is a good person, although a little tricky. He would never!" "OH NO!!" He and mizuki ran off to the hokage tower and meet the hokage and a group of chuunin.

THe hokage was being lectured about something he knew full well. "ENOUGH!" He was tired of hearing of how bad it would be for someone to have that scroll, he knew full well since his teacher the first sealed it himself. "Everyone, go find naruto and bring him back ALIVE!!" The shouted "YES SIR!" And flew off.

IN THE FORESTNaruto was panting, holding the scroll as his chakra was almost all gone. He had mastered the shadow clone jutsu and a jutsu he thought would help him discover new jutsu's along with finding new ways to improve it and himself. Soon iruka came. "Hey iruka-sensei. I guess you found me." Iruka was angry as hell. "WHY DID YOU STEAL THE SECRET HOKAGE SCROLL!!" Naruto sighed. "Mizuki told me if i was able to get it and learn some jutsu's from it i would be a genin."

Naruto knew it was a bunch of lies, but he did want to learn a few jutsu's and to learn a few things about himself that might have been in there. He didn't find a thing about himself in the scroll but he did find a way to pass next year. A clone jutsu was all he needed to pass.

Iruka gasped and was almost about to go find mizuki and kill him right now. "That BASTARD!" As soon as he said that a giant shuriken was flying towards naruto. Iruka jumped in and pushed him and naruto out of the way. Mizuki was already there with another giant shuriken in hand.

"Naruto give me the scroll!" Iruka growled. "Get out of here naruto, don't let him have the scroll. Go straight to lord hokage and give the scroll back. I'll deal with this." Mizuki didn't plan on iruka fighitng back like this.

Iruka roared out. "NARUTO GET OUT OF HERE!!" Naruto decided now was the best time to stop running and Take off his dobe mask. "No iruka-sensei. Mizuki needs to learn it isn't right to play with other people's minds." Iruka looked at naruto surprised. Where did the playful and dumb naruto he knew?

Naruto smirked. "Iruka, i've been showing everyone i was a dead last ninja for a reason. If the vilage knew how smart i was they would have killed me a long time ago." Iruka was shocked. After a while mizuki crackled like a madman. "NARUTO!! you think you can beat ME!? a chuunin!! Not only that but this entire year i've been nominated to take part in the jounin exams! i'm as strong as a fresh jounin."

Naruto frowned a bit at that. "I heard the same. So what? Jounins all around have been trying to have iruka take part in the jounin exams. For the past THREE years. He's as strong as an elite jounin." Iruka smiled and nodded at mizuki. Mizuki lost his smirk, but got it back. "Naruto, i bet you wonder every day, every night you dream of someone finally answering your pleas. Someone telling you why your HATED!! DETESTED!!" Naruto was shocked, was he finally going to find out? Was mizuki going to tell him?

Mizuki's grin widened. "History class lesson. The nine tailed fox was deafeted and killed by the fourth hokage. WRONG!! Because of a law set down by the fourth and third hokage's everyone who knows must not tell a single soul, especially to the younger generations. So the story was altered a little bit. The nine tailed fox demon was just that, a demon. No mortal human being can kill a demon. So the fourth did the only thing he could do. He sealed it inside a human sacrifice. That sacrifice was YOU!!"

naruto was convulsing, he was shocked and ready to cry out for his death. Iruka saw this and growled. "MIZUKI!!" Suddenly a rock avalanche hit mizuki. Naruto saw this and decided to run. Iruka saw this and looked down saddened. Naruto wasn't supposed to know. Suddenly out of the liquid earth, came a giant shuriken, headed straight for naruto. naruto saw this and ran faster, but tripped. This was not good. He cried as his death drew near.

he closed his eyes and heard the shuriken insert itself into human flesh. Naruto opened his eyes, wondering why he wasn't dead. Iruka was ontop of him with the shuriken embbeded in his back. "Naruto, get out of here. Take the scroll to lord hokage and let him explain everything to you. I'll handle Mizuki. GO!" Naruto picked up his feet and ran. Iruka coughed up blood as he pulled out the shuriken. Mizuki appeared behind him.

He grinned. "Iruka, you are as strong as an elite jounin? i don't think-" The shuriken was suddenly impalling him. he looked down to see iruka smiling. "Yes i am. With naruto here i held back in order to protect him. Kindly just die." Iruka pushed the shuriken straight through mizuki and stood above him as mizuki fell to the ground, bloody and dead.

iruka disappeared...
