Chapter one : Kicking mizuki's ass... Again.
Mizuki had enough of this. His plan to immobilise the demon failed miserably. She didn't seem to have any kind of reaction to the revealation, if anything, she seemed to already know the truth. But... A few moments ago, the girl was still trembling in fear because of their difference in strenght and experience. Not only that but the girl seemed to be desperate to know the reason why she was hated. Yet, she didn't flinch once when he told her the truth, aside from her left eyebrow who seemed to twitch every so often...
… It didn't make any sense...
How could a person – or in this case a demon – change so drastically in so little time? It wasn't possible, unless...
"You fooled us didn't you?"
The question threw Naruto off guard, she looked at him with a confused look. What did the traitor mean by that?
"He's suspicious of your sudden personality change, I would be too if I were him. In the past, you were nothing more then a loud, annoying brat. Yet here you are, looking at him with bored eyes and standing with inhuman grace unbefitting of any human. No pun intended by the way." Naruto growled at the mental grin the Kyuubi gave her. Kurama was enjoying the fact that his cute little kit was going to be trained to be a feared soul-reaping god. He couldn't wait to see her face after she found out she had to eat the souls of the damned and cursed. Surely, she would freak out. He decided to continue before his kit decided to kick his ass again. "You are supposed to be the dead last, yet he can practically FEEL you looking at him with a critical eye. He expected you to be shocked about the news of you being a jinchuuriki but you lost your patience before he could even finish his 'magnificent' speech and started to converse me until Dolphin over there snapped you out of it. Even then you seemed uninterested. There has to be a reason to this sudden change, no? After thinking about it for a while he came to the only possible conclusion : You hid your true strength and personality. Hence his question 'You fooled us didn't you.' He believes you fooled all of them, even the hokage. In believing you to be a harmless fool."
Naruto did a thinking pose before grinning maliciously at the fox. "Oh Kyuu-nii. I just got the best idea ever! "
Kyuubi was growing a bit curious after seeing the exited look on his adoptive little sister's face. "Which is?"
Naruto grinned at the fox. "Let's use Mizuki's accusation as a base for the excuse we will use against Konoha. You see, if we say that what he said is true, then that means that I hid my strength in order to show that academy scores don't matter in real life. I will also use my status as a jinchuuriki to make Jiji feel guilty by saying I did it because I did not want to multiply the attempts on my life. This will turn Jiji's anger towards the civilians and and make him feel guilty towards me and my parents. This will make things easier for us because he will believe us easier. I don't like deceiving Jiji but... this is something I have to do. This way, people will not get suspicious of my... New strength and change in taste of wardrobe. It would also explain my change in intelligence and interactions with people. Think about it Kurama. I'll be labeled as a prodigy. A genius!"
Kurama's eyes widened in surprise. Even though his kit's intelligence rivaled a Nara's, he did not expect this kind of plan only after a few seconds he explained Mizuki's sentence the girl. Indeed, her life would be much easier this way and people would respect her strength and intelligence. Her secret would never be discovered!
Kyuubi smiled fondly at his kit. He knew that Naruto did not like her new status as shinigami heir but she kept strong and kept her head clear... At least for now. "I'm impressed Naru-chan." said Kyuubi as he called Naruto by her pet name "Even though you're smart. I did not expect you to think of such a well though plan in such a short time. You know what, as an apology for making you into the heir of the Shinigami without asking you first and as a reward for your ingenious plan. I'll give you a few gifts and teach you a new Sokushi-jutsu (Instant death Jutsu) as well. How does that sound?"
Naruto's mental eyes (Since it would be weird for her to look so happy in real life for nothing) lit up like a thousand stars. "Really? Really? You're not pulling my leg are you?!"
Kurama chuckled, "Yeah really. Now, I think it's time for your amazing acting skills. Let's get this show started! Imagine a bowl of caramel popcorn for me would ya?"
Naruto imagined the bowl of popcorn Kyuubi wanted so he could enjoy the play before replying to Mizuki. "It's been about time you guys finally noticed. I was getting tired of acting like a idiot all the time. Not that it was hard or anything, especially since you were such a good role model to me. I have to say your acting skills are mediocre at best though. The way your body stiffened around me and the way you tried to mess up my training betrayed the way you feel about me. You hate me, you always have. And that has been obvious to me from the first time I met you. It was quite fun to see people react to my idiotic mask though."
Naruto grinned at the shocked face of the traitor and decided to savor this moment, Mizuki's face began to contort in rage. '...He's a horrible ninja. How did he become chuunin anyway. He can't even keep his cool in fights...'
"SHUT UP YOU DEMON! I HAVE ENOUGH OF YOUR GAMES. DIE!" Mizuki charged at Naruto who easily evaded the attack. He raised his fist to punch her face only for the fist to get caught by the very person he wanted to hit. "Your aim is horrible and your stance is slack. Did you blackmail the examiners or what?"
Mizuki didn't answer as he tried to pull back his fist. Imagine his suprise when he discovered he couldn't. It was like his hand was glued to a diamond statue. To be honest. He looked pathetic, struggling like the little worm he was. Naruto had enough already. It seemed the man wouldn't do anything other than be a part in her plan. She started amking hadsigns with her single free hand.
Iruka's eyes widened. 'One handed seals!' he thought. 'Those are incredibly hard to learn!'
Saru, ushi, hebi, inu, nezumi, ushi, ushi, hebi, kitsune, ookami, airaikuma : Demon instant kill tegnique, pain of the heart!
Mizuki eyes widened, he knew exactly what a sokushi jutsu did... 'No... No... NO NO NO NO!'
Naruto jumped back. Not really wanting to stand near the soon to be dead man because this was going to get bloody. For the first few seconds nothing happened until suddenly...
BOOOM
Mizuki's heart exploded from within. Countless pieces of skin, bones and organs lied over the clearing, blood covered the surrounding trees and poor Iruka was probably a bit traumatised.
The hokage who watched everything in his crystal ball was shocked to say the least. It seemed he had a LOOOOOOOOONG conversation to make with his surrogate granddaughter.
Omake : Mizuki's princess mirror
Naruto's left eyebrow twitched as she had to hear Mizuki's ridiculous long speech. Mizuki's speech – which he probably rehearsed the previous day in front of a pink princess mirror – was almost SEVEN WHOLE MINUTES LONG! It was insane! Mizuki's long-ass speech was not this long the last time she had to hear his nagging! He was almost as bad as a Haruno... Almost...
Iruka, who at the moment was fearing for his student's mental health tried to console the blond girl. Her eyes were glazed over and looked a bit dull, he mistook this as a bad sign while said girl was just having a... Very unpleasant conversation with a certain fox. A fox who feared for his life right now. Yes, women were a fearsome thing indeed...
"Naruto, don't listen to him! You're not the fox, you're only it's jailor! You are the only one who can hold it back, you are a hero!"
Naruto snapped back to reality with a confused dazed expression. "Huh? You say something Iruka-sensei?"
…
…
"... Seriously Kit?"
"What? What did I miss?"
"*Sigh* Nevermind..."
Mizuki trembled in anger. "You brat! Do you have any idea how long it took to make that whole speech?!"
"In front of a pink mirror?" questioned Naruto with a smug smile.
"Yeah in front of a... Wait no! In front of a black, big mirror, littered with skulls and..."
" Shiny diamonds?"
"Yeah! Wait what? No, it had spikes and blood was caking on the sides..."
"He's lying through his teeth..."
"Yeah, No shit Sherlock."
Kyuubi grumbled. The kit always found a way to make fun of him.
AAAAAAAND DONE! Let me know if you like the omake, if you do, I will continue making them. Also, I know there might be some problems with the grammar and stuff, but I am young and am not english. I am dutch. So please go easy on me. Hope you liked it. Ja Ne!
