Chapter 1

Letter from the Scroll

In the forest surrounding Konoha, the Hidden Leaf Village, we find a neon orange-clad shinobi leaning against an old cabin with a giant scroll on his back. This is Uzumaki Naruto, also known to many as the 'Demon brat'. Earlier this morning, he had the graduation exam to become a shinobi, but he ended up failing it. When the class was let out one of his teachers, Mizuki, told his about a make-up exam that if he passed he could still become a shinobi. All he had to do was steal the Scroll of Sealing from the Hokage Tower, learn one jutsu from it, and meet him in a clearing about 2 miles North from Konoha Walls.

'Alright, this is the clearing I was supposed to meet Mizuki-teme.' thought Naruto.

Naruto was not dumb as everyone thought he was, he only wore a care-free idiot mask to hid his intelligence and his sadness from everyone. His clothes, were also part of the mask, he liked the color orange but he knew that orange wasn't stealth, but these were the only thing they would sell him.

'It's a good thing I told Oji-san about what Mizuki-teme told me, he even allowed me to read some of the jutsus on the scroll.' he thought while thinking about the talk he had with the Hokage.

~~Flashback~~

Sarutobi Hirzuen was at his desk reading one of his student's novels, Icha-Icha. While he was so engrossed in the book, he didn't notice Naruto opening the doors and walk in. That is until Naruto yelled right in front of his face.

"Oi, Oji-san, stop reading your smut and listen up!"

The Hokage jumps up, from the new voice, and nearly hits his head against the roof.

"Oh, Naruto-kun, it's just you, you nearly gave me a heart attack." said the Hokage while gripping his chest with one hand and wiping his nose with the other. Realization suddenly hit when he noticed that Naruto didn't have his mask on. He has always known about Naruto's mask since he saw him almost every day when he was little. "What going on Naruto?"

"Mizuki, made me fail at the graduation exam when he sent a pulse of chakra to disrupt mine when I was doing the Bunshin no Jutsu. After the exam, he came to me and told me that I would be able to pass if I did a secret exam that none of the students know about." told a serious Naruto.

Confusion suddenly turned to realization."What did he you to do?" asked the Hokage.

"He told me that I had to steal the Forbidden Scroll, learn a Jutsu from it, then meet him at a clearing about 2 mile North of Konoha Walls." said Naruto while handing the Hokage a map of the location.

"He seems to want you to steal the scroll and then kill you once you give it to him the question is who does he working for." questioned the Hokage.

Naruto seemed to be thinking about this as well.

"Maybe I should take the Scroll and meet him there, while you have some of your Anbu stationed around the clearing." said Naruto.

"The does seem like the appropriate way to handle this situation," mused the Hokage, "but we are gonna need to play along with this, so will have to make it look like you stole it, so he doesn't get any suspicions. I'll even let you look in the scroll to make it look more real. This will be labeled as a C-ranked mission." told the Hokage.

~~End Flashback~~

Naruto then unrolled the scroll and read some of the jutsus written in it.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (B-ranked) -Similar to Bunshin but are actual clones instead of illusions. Gives back experience learned to user once dispelled.

Bunshin Daibakuha (A-ranked) -Used in collaboration with Kage Bunshin, overloads Bunshin with chakra causing it to explode.

Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (A-ranked) -Derived from Kage Bunshin, the user creates a thousand kage bunshins from one shuriken.

Naruto memorized the hand signs for all those jutsus, he always had amazingly good memory. When he was down memorizing the hand signs, he looked through the scroll for any other good jutsus, he didn't find any others. Once he reached the bottom of the scroll, he noticed a blood seal in the shape of a cross with strange writing inside of it. He bit his thumb to draw some blood and wiped it across the seal. It glowed for a second, then the regular cloud of smoke came out, to reveal another scroll.

'Another scroll?' questioned Naruto.

Naruto looked at it for a second, then opened it to see that it was a letter written by someone named, Komui Lee.

Dear, Exorcist

If you are reading this, then that most likely means that we beat the Millennium Earl and the Noah. Even if we beat the Millennium Earl, he will more than likely be reborn into another human and try to take over again. If that is the case, we want you to go the coordinates at the bottom of this letter and look for someone name Allen Walker, he is an exorcist. He should be able to inform you of our history.

Signed, Komui Lee

Naruto seemed to be even more confused than he was before, but he decided that he wanted to gain the full story from this, Allen Walker. So he pocketed the scroll and tried his luck with Kage Bunshin.

(An hour later)

Naruto was exhausted from practicing Kage Bunshin no Jutsufor an hour. He went to go sit near the cabin, when he heard some of the leaves rustling.

'Seems like Mizuki-teme finally came.'

He was however surprised when instead of Mizuki, it was Iruka, his other teacher.

"NARUTO! Do you have any idea what you've done!" screamed Iruka.

"Oh, Iruka-sensei it you, I did what I was supposed to do, I learned one jutsu from the scroll so now I can become a shinobi, right." finished Naruto deciding to feign innocence.

"Naruto, what are you talking about?" said a clearly confused Iruka.

"Mizuki-sensei said that if I learn one jutsu from the scroll, I can become a shinobi." told Naruto.

"That right, you do pass, all you have to do is hand me the scroll Naruto." rang out a voice from out of the clearing.

"Mizuki! What is the meaning of this. Why did you tell Naruto he could pass if he stole the Forbidden Scroll." yelled Iruka, looking for an answer to all this.

Naruto feigning confusion called out, "What's going on?"

Mizuki seeing he wasn't getting the scroll anytime soon decided to play his trump card, "Naruto, do you know why the village hates you?"

Now that really shocked Naruto, he might have been smart, but even then he didn't know why he was hated by the villagers. He thought that it was something he parents had done, and they were taking it out on the offspring.

"NO, MIZUKI DON'T, IT'S FORBIDDEN!" yelled out Iruka who was sweating a bit.

It only fell on deaf ears, "You see when people said the Yondaime killed the Kyuubi, he didn't really kill it, he only sealed it into a newborn baby. You see Naruto, YOU ARE THE KYUUBI!" screamed Mizuki like the manic he was.

Naruto froze, he mind, reeling back to all the glare, the abuse, the whispers. It all made since, people calling him 'demon brat', 'demon spawn', 'fox brat'. He was near insanity when his mind, instantly went back to something he read once from a book the Yondaime wrote.

'Jinchuriki means power of the human sacrifice, people who have tail-beasts sealed within them. People tend to think jinchuriki are the demons themselves, that is not the case, they serve to hold them back.'

While his mind was in chaos, Mizuki used his chance to throw one of his Fuma Shurikens at the demon. Iruka seeing that Naruto was in a state of shock, used his body to cover for Naruto.

'Wait a minute, it's still coming maybe I have a chance to throw Naruto out of the way, and get myself out of its-AHHH' while Iruka was busy thinking he didn't notice the Fuma Shuriken imbed itself in his flesh.

Naruto snapped out of his thoughts when he heard that scream of pain. He noticed that Iruka was over him, with a Fuma Shuriken in his back.

"Why?" was all Naruto was able to say.

"Because Naruto, you remind me of myself, when I was younger, always trying to get attention." said Iruka.

When Iruka finished what he was saying, it was quiet until, they suddenly heard clapping.

"Bravo Iruka, you saved the demon that killed your parents, don't you feel ashamed, you know as well as I do that, the demon will take the scroll to get more power." exclaimed Mizuki.

Iruka thought for a moment before saying, "Yes a demon would do that," Naruto's world shattered when he heard that, " but, Naruto would never do that, he's a proud Konoha shinobi."

Naruto started to feel his world come back together when Iruka said that.

"Don't you get it, Naruto is the demon." screamed a pissed off Mizuki. "Oh well, doesn't matter anymore, your both will die here and now."

After saying that Naruto and Iruka prepared for the worst, but when they didn't feel any pain, they looked up to see that Mizuki was unconscious and tied up, by an Anbu wearing a neko mask.

Naruto let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, "About time you Anbu got here."

Iruka looked confused when the blond said that.

"I'm sorry Naruto-san, we wanted to see how this would play out before we made any unnecessary moves." said the obvious female Anbu. "I'm sorry you had to find out about your burden this way Naruto-san."

"Maa, Maa, Neko-san, don't worry about it, I've read up on Jinchuriki before, I'm sure Oji-san had a good reason for not telling me." said a strangely calm Naruto, even though he was fuming on the inside.

Neko and Iruka both sweat dropped when he unconsciously copied the Copy-Nin.

~~Somewhere else in the village~~

"Achoo! That was close, I almost got my book dirty." said Kakashi. "Now where was I, ah right, Akira you naughty girl." he said with his face in his book

~~Back at the clearing~~

"What?" yelled Naruto when he was getting blank looks from them.

"Nothing." they replied in unison

"We should probably get you to the hospital to get the wound checked Iruka-san." said Neko.

"Ah, you're probably right, but before we go can I talk to Naruto for a second." At Neko's nod he brought Naruto a little way to the other side of the clearing. "Naruto, can you close your eyes for a bit."

Naruto seemed confused but did what was asked. He felt some weight shift on his forehead, and we Iruka told him to open his eyes. He immediately noticed that Iruka didn't have his hitai-ate but, he did have his old goggles. He knew what Iruka did, and his eyes started to water, while he gave Iruka one of the biggest hugs he ever gave.

~~An hour later at the Hokage's Office~~

Currently, in the Hokage's Office was the Hokage, Iruka (who was bandaged up), and Naruto. The Hokage looked into Naruto's blue eyes, and asked a question he wanted to know since the incident.

"Naruto-kun, what was in that scroll you found, when you were going through the scroll." asked the Hokage.

Naruto seemed surprised the he even knew about the letter but, then he narrowed his eyes remembering what was revealed that night. This action shocking both Iruka and the Hokage.

"I'm not telling you anything about that Oji-san until, you tell me why you didn't tell me about it!" yelled an angry Naruto.

The Hokage seemed confused for a second until he realized that Naruto learned of his burden tonight.

"I'm sorry, Naruto-kun, I didn't tell you because I wanted you to have a normal childhood, even though that did backfire on me." muttered at the end of his statement.

Naruto begrudgingly accepted that answer, "Even though you know I didn't have an even close to normal childhood," at this the Hokage flinched, "I can at least see you tried to hide it for my own benefit."

When Naruto was calm enough he proceeded to tell both Iruka and the Hokage about the letter from Komui Lee.
