Chapter 3 learning and plotting

Me with nothing else to lose,

Plotting my big revenge in the spotlight.

-Chuck Palahniuk


Mizuki, his name was Mizuki. The same Mizuki that betrayed Iruka on the first episode and manga plot.. The very one that sabotaged all the students in Naruto class just to make him fail.. I stare at the kid.

So, that's how they were friends! Their parents were friends and they were forced to hang out with each other. Making them childhood friends… Did Iruka have any other friends? Any other acquaintances at all, that he interacted other than Mizuki, Naruto and the Hokage?

Well, shoot me. I can't remember.

Stupid brain function, already taking out the important thing I need to know about Umino Iruka!

Yet, I do know one thing…. My bangs were covering my face as a smile grew. Mizuki was going to pay, even if he hasn't done it yet. His punishment was to become my minion! I will make him suffer the wrath of a teacher before he even knows it. He won't think twice about doing the same thing he did in the plot!

Yes, There were times when I loved being a teacher, with a degree in psychology, it meant I knew how to manipulate people to my will.

Oh, this was going to be fun!

"Look at the time it seems like we need to go." My Tou-chan says putting me back into the stroller. I looked at Hatsu, before closing my eyes and giving a hand out.

"Ah, look at Iruka-chan , waving goodbye to Mizuki!" Hatsu said, cooing at the adorable scene, ignoring Tou-san sputtering.

Giggling at my tou-chan reaction. For some reason "your obedient servant" was running through my head and I couldn't help, but look at Mizuki. When it started to run. Well it seems like we'll be fighting a lot in the near future, but he'll in the end be my minion.

They always do..

"Your daughter's birthday is coming up soon, right?" Hatsu asked, looking at Ikkaku, who nodded looking at Mizuki with narrowed eyes. Knowing that Iruka was looking at the stupid brat with interest.

"Hai, she'll be turning one soon." Ikkaku said, strapping his daughter to make sure she wouldn't fall out of the stroller.

"Don't both Noriki and you have a mission a week, before Iruka's birthday?" Freezing, when I heard this, they'll both be going on missions on my birthday? I thought, a cold shiver pass through my spin. Guess they were busy busy parent, huh? Looking up wide eyed, Hatsu and Tou-chan were ignoring Mizuki and I.

I didn't know why, but I had a gut feeling that I should be expecting missing parents throughout my childhood… again. At least this time it was bothering me more than it did last time.

Maybe, because this time both parents were showing affection rather than expectation?

A lump formed in my throat, I couldn't have gotten attached that fast right? I've only lived on the timeline for what barely a year? Perhaps, it wasn't affection or expectation, perhaps it was the bond that was formed between them and I. The bond between parents and newborns during the first few or life which would make the baby either feeling secure or ambivalent. For the first time in my life I couldn't answer a question as simple as that and it scared me.

Who was I?

Was I still me? Or was I becoming someone new?

More Importantly, why was I dreading something?

I didn't hear the goodbyes Tou-chan said too Hatsu and Mizuki, nor did I hear tou-chan talking to me. I could only watch as families pass by and try to ignore my heart clenching at such scenes.

Babies can't hold back emotion, that goes against the Id… It always gets what it wants at this stage.

Wobbling my lower lip and instinctively raising my arm. "Wahh~" Oh god this is embarrassing! Ikkaku stopped strolling, taking me out of the stroller, trying to comfort me without looking awkward in public.

"Sh… Sh.. It's okay, Ruka-chan." He whispered soothingly. "We'll be getting home to Kaa-chan soon, so you'll be getting feed and be able to snuggle up in your crib, with that gigantic stuffed bear obaasan got you."

"Hic." My baby body just snuggled up and with droopy eyes, I fell asleep.

The mission that uncle Hatsu mentioned never happened. Nor did tou-chan ever take on a genin team, but the uneasy feeling never went away.


Time skip four years later….

Umino Noriki. I thought, looking at my silent, but caring kaa-chan.I never noticed, until I turned four that she was silent, but affection it. She barely said a word or showed emotion in a strange way it was comforting.

In a way it reminded me of my "original" dad. They were both stern, silent but affection it. There was a difference between them, though. kaa-chan did it because it seemed almost unbreakable, like she had perfected it over the years and even with a child she refused to break it. My dad on the other hand did it was because he wanted me to be strong.

To harden myself for the upcoming and unknown future, that I was about to take once I left High school.

Meanwhile with Kaa-chan, it sometimes scared me honestly, it was like her ninja mode was never off. Obaa-chan had at one point taken me away from kaa-chan, until tou-chan returned.

It was the same day Kaa-chan asked me if I wanted to start ninja training, I froze, I didn't know what to say, I think in some way she already knew that I started in my own way, I was a dancer at one dark point in my life, so I was testing my flexibility early so I could maintain it in the future.

She looked so serious and her eyes seemed to gleam with something, that I couldn't figure out. I never answered her, because obaa-chan took over my training. Claiming that it was only right that she as an old woman gets to spend more time with me, before she passes away. Kaa-chan looked distant at the claim, before reluctantly agreed with Oba-chan. Was it just me, or was their relationship seemingly becoming more and more hostile at times? For whatever reason they seemed to agree on one thing.

I had a strange feeling, that it wasn't just about me…


"Can we stop now!" I yelled out, to my obaa-chan. Who looked at me unimpressed. I sulked in the inside about the look she gave me.

"We've only run ten laps!" She yelled, I was not going to cry, I was not going to cry. "If I can still keep going than you should be able too! After all your still young!"

"I'm only four! this is abuse!" I cried out, dramatically. I was in no way in any form or shape to do something like this, at the age of four!

"Fine! But you better start practicing your katas when we get home! Especially with that bo staff!" Panic, rushed inside me, I couldn't even lift that stupid thing up!

Weren't bo staff supposed to be light!?

"I'm not seeing any running!" I fled the scene before my obaa-chan had the idea and will to pull out her senbons and throw them at me. Why wasn't Mizuki with me right now! I need my minion, my meat shield!

He will pay!

Gawck!

"Obaa-chan! Not the senbons!" I yelled out, in pure fear. While obaa-chan was chasing after me, with her senbons.

(somewhere)

"Achoo!" Mizuki sneezed out,as a punch was sent his way, making him fly back. Hitting the ground with loud THUMP. He groaned, rubbing the back of his head.

"Mizuki! Are you alright!?" His friend yelled out. Seeing Mizuki shivering, almost uncontrollable. Looking around Mizuki turned to look at his friend, as he said in all seriousness. "I believe Ruka-chan is planning my death."

Kotetsu and Izumo looked at their friend with a deadpan look. "Right, Ruka-chan the one girl who can't hurt a fly, Is planning your death." Mizuki looked at them with an alarming look. "B-but i'm serious! Guys Iruka is going to kill me!"

"Mizuki, Ruka-chan is a girl, she can't hurt you." Kotetsu said with a disbelieving look.

"You wouldn't understand!" Mizuki wailed. "No one understands! Iruka-chan is evil! I tell you Evil!"

"Mizuki, Iruka has no evil bone in her body," Izumo said, a bit miffed with the way Mizuki was trashing their only female friend.

"Yea, leave Iruka alone, what's she ever done to you?" Kotestsu said, glaring holes into Iruka proclaimed best friend, which should go to either himself or Izumo in his opinion.

Mizuki had a far away look.

~flashback~

Age 2

Mizuki was covered in mud, there was a suspicious claw marks on him. He smelled like cat pee and pig poop.

While Iruka had somehow gotten to safety on the lower branch of the tree, in her backyard, clutching a book to her chest and staring at the adults wide eyed.

Mizuki, his tou-chan had thought, it would be a good idea to let, Iruka's obaa-chan, babysit Mizuki. So that way Iruka would have someone to play with. That and he had no one else to babysit Mizuki, while he was away on missions.

Obaa-chan, ended up sleeping on the couch of the living room, leaving them unattended. Iruka had somehow gotten them out and into the backyard. What came next was a mystery to everyone.

Everyone but little Mizuki, he had followed Iruka out, of the living room. She had somehow gotten ahold of a book, at first she was going to read it, before looking at a pouting Mizuki and then again to her book.

She ended up dragging Mizuki by the shirt to sit with her, while she taught him how to read. Mizuki was forced to read outloud.

Somewhere during his reading, Iruka had gotten a hold of a rock and threw it at the neighbor's roaster. It ended up hitting a cat.

A cat that let out it sharpen claws and ran at them… Mizuki, was pushed towards the cat, while Iruka took the book from him and climbed onto the tree.

Watching as her dear friend was being mauled by a cat, she did nothing to help him.

Age 3

Iruka, was reading a book, when Mizuki father dropped him off. Mizuki, this time was prepared to entertain himself and stay away from the she-devil herself.

It didn't go as planned…

Iruka's kaa-chan had been called to the hokage. Completely forgetting she was babysitting the kids right then and there, as she shushed away, Iruka straighten up and let her book down. Mizuki, who sat far away from her, kept an eye on her.

She walked into the kitchen, for a second or two, before she came back to the living room, smiling like a madman.

Mizuki, would never admit it, but he was slightly scared of what she was doing.

"You awe welcome to join me if you ant." Iruka, said not bothering to glance at him.

He wasn't going to, but curiosity had gotten the better of him. He looked to what she was doing and saw a chair right next to her.

He slowly walked to the chair and sat on it, iruka handed him goggles. He wore them, despite him calling Ruka-chan a she-devil, she did at least care somewhat about his safety. So her handing him the goggles, meant

It was for a good cause.

He watched as she played around with some liquid, he raised an eyebrow when she poor some of them together, with hesitancy. Eventually she finished and asked him to hand him the rubbery things that were by him. Handing it to her, he watched as she poor the liquied in them.

"Stay right here." Ruka said, with a grin that made him shiver in fear. "I'll be right back."

Mizuki looked at her critizingly before doing the oppisite of what she asked and followed her right out, crossing his arms as she sighed in defeat and made a gesture to come and watch.

She set the neighbor's chicken flying out of there house as whatever she made, sent fireworks. Or at least that was the plan, no instead she ended up miscalculating and ended up setting a cat flying into them. Iruka, had pushed him into the cat and ran into the house.

No one believed him when he said that Iruka did it, the neighbors and the uchiha police couldn't find the criminal. At least this time Iruka had come and saved him from that monster, unlike last time...

Iruka just laughed at his despair and misery.

Three weeks ago…..

Iruka, was reading a book and writing down notes, Mizuki stared at her side desk with wide eyes, be side her was a stack of paperwork she did.

"Mizuki, I need you to do something for me." she asked sweetly. Mizuki, looked at her with narrowed eyes. She never asked sweetly unless Izumo and kotetsu were around, they had become friends with those two after they saved Iruka, from some bullies. Not that Iruka needing saving.

It was unfair, when they were with them she acted like a saint, sweet, fragile and tomboyish girl. But when they were alone her personality would turn a one eighty.

He leaned in anyways as Iruka whispered something into his ear.

What happened after words… it best not to say

Really you did not want to know…

~End of flashbacks~

Mizuki, looked at them with a serious face. "You have no idea."

(with Iruka)

"Achoo!" Iruka, sneezed. Someone is talking about me she thought frowning.

Whack!

SLAM!

"No distraction! Did you forget you're in the middle of practicing you bo staff dodging!"

"You're the one making me use weight!"

"Who was the one that started cheating and used fuinjutsu!" Haru paused before looking at her granddaughter strangely. "How do you know how to make fuinjutsu?"

"Ummm…. Books?"

"Is that an answer or a question!" Iruka fled the scene. "Come back here!"

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Mizuki asked, looking at his long time friend with a scared expression. Ever since they first met, he somehow ended up being best friends with a soon to be sensei, because yes no matter how much she denies it, he admits she would be a good sensei in the future, he wouldn't admit it out loud though, like last time he did…

He really hoped, that she didn't somehow find another sadist, anytime soon or ever, really. She just grinned, evilly.

"Of course!" she exclaimed. "That chicken has had a long run, you hate that bird as much as I do! It's not like anyone going to miss it!" Mizuki sweat dropped, at his best friend. Who was hugging her "potion" as she liked to call it to her chest whispering things… Why was he friends with this maniac again?

"Plus, if i'm going to rule the world, I need an army, starting with that chicken." Iruka said, looking determined.

Oh yeah… Thats why….

"Ruka-chan, I thought we talked about this, you can't keep experimenting on animals!" Mizuki exclaimed

"I've never experimented on animals, just the annoying ones.. Mostly on that dumb neighbors chicken!"

"You experimented on that so called demon cat, and had several ninja curse at you, not that they knew it was you who gave the cat abnormal speed for a week." Iruka, looked away.

"It was one time, and I wasn't aiming for the cat! I was aiming for the chicken, that stupid cat, got in the way…" she trailed off sadly in her last attempt on trying to set the chicken on fire.

So, far experimenting in chemistry has been a total.. Fail. There was a reason why the schools didn't allow her to teach chemistry. It also had something to do with the fact she had made a dreadful cloud that could have been a huge explosion in college.

Mizuki sighed, Iruka his wonderful, awesome best friend. Even if she was a girl. Was a great actress, he really, really hoped that no one discovered her sadism, or encouraged her impulse lying disorder. When they began the academy anytime soon.

The world would be doomed. Especially, in Iruka's saying, it's always the quiet ones. For now he had to stop his friend from committing murder on that poor, poor chicken.

Why did she even hate that chicken? What did it ever do to her, other than wake her up in the mornings?

Later….

Haru, looked at her granddaughter before looking at her daughter in law.

"Are you sure Noriki?" she asked her gently. Noriki looked at her with an unreadable expression.

"As, much as I love my daughter. She needs a firm hand to train her." Noriki said, glancing at her daughter.

"I can already tell she has Ideas in that head of hers. creative ones. That would work well..I just need someone to teach her." Noriki said, Haru looked at her granddaughter before nodding.

"I'll see what I can do." Haru said, standing up.

This stupid war… it has your fingerprints written all over it, Danzo. Haru thought, walking towards her soon to be five year old granddaughter. If only I got to Noriki first, then maybe.. No It would have turned out the same. But at least I can make amends. But will she agree?

"Iruka-chan." Haru said, making Iruka look up from her table where paper was laid down, and books scattered.

"Hai, obaa-chan?" Iruka asked, looking at her innocently. So far so good, Iruka thought. No one pointing fingers at anyone, yet. Meaning, no one has found the chicken….

"Why don't you show me what you've been working on?" Iruka's Obaa-chan asked. Iruka, back straighten up, before looking at her Obaa-chan confused. does she know? Iruka thought, before handing her obaa-chan the notes she was writing.

Noriki, stared at them with emotionless expression. Clenching her hands into fists, forgive me. She thought, grimmly. Forgive me otou-san...

Ikkaku, opened the door to their house, with a smile on his face to look at his family. "Ruka-chan." He called out, making her look up.


"Ruka-chan!" I looked up to see my tou-chan, with an annoyed expression on my face. Obaa-chan was giving me tips about my notes.

Tou-chan, better have a good reason. I thought, narrowing my eyes at him, before my eyes brighten up, before it was clouded with shock and confusion.

In his hands, was a full sized violin.

Maria! Come on! Play your violin for us! Just one more time!

He couldn't be telling me to play right?! I thought, slightly alarmed. He chuckled as he watched me eye the old violin. The paint job on it faded. I noted. There seems to be scratch marks too..

He walked to the middle of the living room, and set the violin into the right position. He knows how to play! I thought, slightly overjoyed.

"Ruka-chan listen carefully? Okay." he said. I nodded, as he began to play. It was familiar, it had a certain rhythm..

I knew this song! It was, history maker! I remember trying to find this song when I was in high school! A friend of mine loved yuri on ice. But I fell in love with the music, instead of the anime. I remember practicing this song on my grandpa's farm.

How in the world…? No it doesn't matter. I thought, as I closed my eyes as I listened to every note my tou-chan played.

It was elegant, slow paced, song. that switched from first position to third position, his bow handling was a little sloppy, but his vibrato made up for it.

"Iruka." he said, nudging me. I blinked before looking at him. When did he..?

"When you're older you'll understand." Tou-chan said, ruffling my head. "But for now it best that we should start preparing. You'll make history."

I smiled at him, it was weird the song title was history maker (yuri on ice) theme song and he's telling me i'll make history? I taught history, I knew history. But it felt different, something was different.

For now though, i'll have to wonder where did he learn to play the violin and where did he learn that song?

I need to grab that violin when no one was looking, it's been what almost a year, and four years in my original life since I picked up a violin..?

Did I even know how to play anymore?


A week later….

I stared at my parents as they said goodbye to obaa-chan and I. My eyes began to water, it been a month since they announced that konoha would be going to war…

They never said anything, and I was too busy training with obaa-chan and studying to notice how strange the adult were acting, If I remember correctly by the time the third war ended correctly was a year before Iruka had become a genin. Those who were in the academy were expected to pass within three years…

My hand clenched at the thought, kids no matter what age shouldn't be in the front lines…. Tou-chan knelt down to me and handed me a case.

"We will be back." He said, ruffling my hair, before kaa-chan and he walked towards konoha gate and into the abyss of bloodshed. My hair covered my face as I watch them go…

Nails digging into the palm of my hands.

Kaa-chan didn't even say anything…


A/N: Good? Bad? I had to make a time skip because I didn't know how to continue so I hope you enjoyed, Also I will probably be mentioning some songs here and there.
