"D...dad?!" exclaimed Naruto and Kurama in shock, "Lord fourth!" Iruka exclaimed. "Boys...are you two alright?" Minato asked in worry, as info like this could cause someone to entirely breakdown. "I am" Kurama responded bringing joy to half of Minato's heart but when Naruto didn't respond he called out to him "Naruto? what about you?". When he still didn't answer he said something that Mizuki used to his advantage "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you"
'No...i thought it was a lie, not dad too' Naruto thought. "HA! I told you Naruto! See?! What did I tell you" Mizuki ranted. Naruto gripped the scroll and ran off, and he never looked back. "NARUTO!" Iruka shouted sadly "NO!" He continued along with Kurama.
"Whops...guess ya should've told him" Mizuki taunted, to Minato it was like rubbing salt into a wound. "Mizuki..." Minato growled silently "Iruka!" he shouted
"Yes lord fourth!"
"Take my son Kurama and get out of here NOW! And find Naruto if you can!" Minato ordered "I'll take care of him" He continued. "Yes sir!" Iruka said as he picked up Kurama and fled. "Now then...Mizuki. YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR HURTING MY FAMILY!" Minato shouted as his expression darkened, he hated Mizuki now more than anything in his life.
'This isn't good...can't win again't lord fourth like this!' Mizuki thought as he threw another giant shurkien towards Minato and performed Jutsu seals "SHURKIEN SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!". Mizuki's one giant shuriken became several hundreds and all was directed towards Minato who just teleported away from them and made a rassengan which hit Mizuki from the back, but he exploded into smoke. "A clone?!" Minato murmured.
Then, out of the shadows Mizuki performed another Jutsu "FIRE STYLE: PHOENIX FLOWER SHURIKEN JUTSU!". Minato countered by teleporting the attack back to Mizuki, the flaming shuriken hit him but he exploded into smoke. "Another clone?! Wait a second! He's going after Naruto!" Minato said to himself as he gave chase. He found Iruka and Kurama but not Naruto and explained that Mizuki went after him.
"I'll go find him!" Kurama volunteered as he stood up, but Iruka and Minato said no as it was too dangerous. But then, considering Kurama's past he reluctantly said yes as he sped off to find him. Unknowingly, Minato placed a rajin mark on Kurama's back.
Kurama finally found his brother hiding behind a tree with the scroll gripped in his hands, crying. "Hey it's ok...it's ok" Kurama said as he hugged his vulnerable brother, unknowingly to the two, Mizuki tracked them down and summoned a giant shuriken. He threw it and it spun towards them, Kurama noticed and his eyes widened as to what happened next- Iruka sensei threw himself in between the brothers and the shuriken, letting it pierce his back. Naruto was all the more depressed, but also angry- so when his dad showed up and tended to Iruka, Naruto stepped in front of all of them.
"Brother!" Kurama shouts
"Naruto what are you doing! It's too dangerous!" Minato shouts.
He ignores then says darkly "If you ever touch my sensei or my family again...I'll kill you!". "Let's see you try Nine tailed fox!" Mizuki retorts, Naruto then performs the hand sing for the new Jutsu he learnt from the scroll "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!".
Suddenly the forest was teeming with dozens upon dozens of Naruto shadow clones. "Like I said...BACK OFF!" scream all the Naruto clones as they pound Mizuki to a bloody pulp and with Minato adding his Rassengan to the mix, Kurama adding his clone jutsu and Iruka with his Shuriken Jutsu added in as well.
By the time it was dawn, Mizuki was no more. Then Iruka made a move and tied something to Naruto's forehead and made him turn to face his family as he Minato proudly stated "Naruto my boy...YOU GRADUATE"
