Chapter 6: Genin Test
12 years old Naruto was running while laughing. Couple of Chunin are at his tail.
"Naruto come back here!" Chunin one said.
"You cross the line this time!" Chunin two said.
On the Hokage Mountain, see the Hokages' faces been painting that made them look like a clown, apart from the Fourth which has it's stone hair red.
(Meanwhile)
A male Hippogriff crash landing near Alicorn who's reading a good book, with laughing.
"What's so funny, Darling? And don't tell me it's Naruto and his pranks again." Alicorn said, look up from her book.
Hippogriff try to calm down, "HA HA HA! Well... HA HA HA! Well..."
(Meanwhile)
Two Chunin run after Naruto, but a giant, furry hand like paw grab Naruto and lift him up. It's Fox with Cobra and Crocodile with a deer in his mouth. The Chunin that chased Naruto, are now shivering in fear.
"...Scram..." Cobra just said.
With that, the Chunin run away fast.
With them gone, Fox put Naruto down. Despite his Guardian worried and mad look, Naruto still laugh.
"That was too easy." Naruto said.
"Oh really?" A voice said behind him.
Naruto jump and land on Cobra's tail and turn to see Rin.
"Where'd you come from, Rin?! What are you doing here?" Naruto asked.
"I was going to ask you the same thing, Iruka is looking for you." Rin said firmly.
(A while later)
As his Guardians finish off their remaining breakfast, Naruto is in his classroom.
"Now then, since you miss it, Naruto, everyone will review the Tansformation Jutsu!"
A few moment later...
"Sakura here. Transform!" Sakura create a pop of smoke around her then after the smoke clear, standing in her place, is another Iruka.
"Transform into me. Good." Iruka said, write something on his check-board.
Sakura undo the Jutsu, hopping for joy, "Sasuke, did you see that."
Outside of the Academy, Naruto's Guardians watch everything from the window.
"Hopelessssssss girl." Cobra said, shaking his snake head.
"She got that from her mother side. That's for sure." Fox said.
"I agree. It's no wonder our former Mistress Kushina is the best." Crocodile said.
Back within the classroom, Sasuke had his turn.
"Next, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze." Iruka said.
"This is such a drag." Shikamaru said.
"We always pay for your screw ups." Ino said.
Unfortunately, unknown to them, Naruto's Guardians had saw and heard what these two said to their master. They snarl at them. Well, they can understand Shikamaru for his clan are lazy. But Ino, oh no, they'll going to take care of her, clan heiress or not!
However...
"I think the only one screw up is you and that bubblegum hair monkey. You haven't train properly and you're killing yourself by not eating well." Fu said.
Everyone laugh and the Guardians calm down, believing that Ino was punished.
"Everyone, quite down!" Iruka said.
(Evening)
Naruto was cleaning the paints off while his Guardians and Iruka watch him. Alicorn and the Third Hokage both agree that as punishment, Naruto cleans the paint off.
"Naruto?" A female voice called.
Everyone turn to see Rin and Naruto's friends; Hinata Hyuga and Fu.
"We were wondering, if you get it done quicky, we can go for Reman." Rin said.
Naruto smile wider, "Great! I'll have it done in the flash."
(A while later)
Naruto's Guardians are lays around the shop while their master, his friends and teacher are having Reman.
"Naruto, why do you do that to Hokage's faces? You know who they are right?" Iruka asked.
"Of course I do. They're the best of the best. ...And my dad. He saved the village from the Nine-Tailed Fox." Naruto said in sadness.
"Then why did you?" Rin asked.
"Because I'm going to have my face there. Me, the new and prove Hokage! Then everyone will respect me. Believe it!" Naruto said.
Outside, Naruto's Guardians heard that and smile. Their master is like Kushina in Minato's body.
"By the way, I want to ask you something, Sensie." Naruto said.
"You want another bowl?" Iruka guessed.
Naruto shake his head, I want to try on your headband. Come on Please?"
"Master Naruto. You know as well as everyone that you can only wear the headband when you have graduate from the Academy. You need to pass that test tomorrow." Cobra said with a tease smile.
"You're so uncool!" Naruto said.
"Well, I am a cobra." Cobra said with his brothers laughing.
(Morning at the Academy.)
"Alright class. The final test is, the Clone Jutsu." Iruka said.
Few moments later, Naruto enter the test room. Sitting in front of him are; Iruka and his partner, Mizuki.
"Alright Naruto. When you ready." Iruka said with Mizuki hidden evil smile.
Watching Naruto form the window, are of course, his Guardians.
Naruto made a Tiger hand sign, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
With a huge puff of smoke, so many Narutos appeared. Naruto's Guardians feel something land on their back. They turn and see more Narutos lining on their back and tail.
"He overdid it again." Crocodile said.
"Well, he is a Uzumaki." Fox said with a smile.
Back with Naruto and his Teachers...
Iruka and Mizuki could not believe his eyes.
"Naruto? How did you...?" Iruka asked.
"My Guardians taught me cause they said 'An Uzumaki Clan has at least Kage level Chakra'. That's what they said." Naruto said.
"I see. Well, congratulations. You've graduated." Iruka said.
'Damn it! I need him to fail to work on my plan.' Mizuki thought.
(Later on)
Everyone are in the Academy. The parents are hugging of their passed children. The all Guardians of Uzumaki are congratulating their last member of the clan.
"All the lesson pays off, Lord Naruto." Alicorn said with a lovely smile.
"There. Do you see him?" The woman asked other woman next to her.
"Is that boy. I heard he passed." Woman two said.
"Those fools." Woman one said.
"Why did they allow him of all people to be a ninja? I mean, he's-"
"SSSSHHHHH! We're not allow to talk about that." Woman one cut off woman two.
A shadow hover over the women. They look up and see angry Fox. Before they could scream, Fox munch on them before shallow them. After wipe his mouth cover in blood, he join the others and his master.
Sasuke stare at the Guardians in interest. His father before he died, told him about the Guardians and how powerful they are.
'Powerful and unstoppable force of all. Those creatures should serve Uchiha not that loser.' Sasuke thought.
With that thought, Sasuke head to them, "Hey, winged horse with horn!"
The Guardians turn to see Sasuke heading to them.
"What's that cry baby clan brat wants?" Komodo whispered.
"Can I help you, young man?" Alicorn asked.
"I head you all are powerful warriors." Sasuke said.
"We prefer to be called 'Guardians.' But yes, we are because love and care is more powerful than anything at all." Alicorn said with a bad feeling about Sasuke.
"Perfect. Then become my powerful warriors!" Sasuke said that sound like order.
The Guardians but Alicorn who smile at this, starting to laugh.
"Sorry, but we're only serve Uzumaki Clan members, like Naruto." Alicorn said.
Sasuke's face glow red in anger, "WHAT?! You can refuse me! I'm from the Uchiha Clan! Everything that's powerful should belong to Uchiha Clan. And that means you and your fighters!"
"First of all, they're my children, not fighters. Second of all, we are for peace while your clan in for war. And lastly, I already told you, We're the Guardians of Uzumaki. That means we only serve Uzumaki. You can't force everyone to obey you." Alicorn said.
"Stop talking nonsense! You're weapons to attack at command! You should obey me alone! Not that loser!" Suddenly, Sasuke lift up by Alicorn's magic till he meet Alicorn's anger eyes.
"I can take the 'Weapons' nickname, but never insult the Uzumaki Clan member in front of me and my little darlings." Alicorn said.
"I say we end those evil Clan line once and for all!" Komodo said with other Guardians agreed.
"I'll spare your life, for now. Let that be the lesson." With that, Alicorn send Sasuke away to the sky.
"Mother Goddess, are you sure it's a good idea?" Pegasus asked.
"If we kill anyone because of the past, we'll never be in peace and harmony." Alicorn said.
"Well, we'll be lucky that Lord Naruto will not be near that power stealing brat. Since dear Mother Goddess make decisions for him." Unicorn said as with her magic, brush her mane.
(Later that night)
Naruto and his Guardians are asleep. When Naruto sudden felt something not right, he slowly and carefully got up and sneak off.
(Meanwhile)
"Mizuki, why did you do that?!" Iruka asked in shock.
A while ago, his partner has stole the Scroll of Forbidden Jutsu.
"Because with that brat passed, I had to get it on my own." Mizuki said.
With that, he grab a giant Shuriken and charge in, only to get a kick on the face by newly Ninja, causing him to drop the scroll.
"Don't you ever hurt Iruka Sensei." Naruto said.
"Naruto! What are you doing here?! Get away!" Iruka said.
Mizuki slowly got back to his feet, "Well, well, well, the demon has try to be a hero he'll never be."
"Naruto, be careful. He had betrayed the village." Injured Iruka said.
Mizuki laugh, "I'll tell you who betrays how."
Iruka know what's Mizuki going to do, "No, Mizuki!"
"Wh-what do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"DON'T TELL HIM! IT'S FORBIDDEN!" Iruka said.
"What I mean is, that the evil Nine-Tailed is inside you!" Mizuki said with an evil smile.
Naruto eyes are widen in shock.
"The fox spirit that attacked the village and killed Iruka's parents has taking over your body. you ARE the Nine-Tailed Fox!" Mizuki said.
"Stop it!" Iruka yelled.
"Don't you ever wonder why no humans ever go near you. The only thing you have to you are those oversize beasts that only mean to obey the real Uzumaki not the fake one like you! Even you only human friend, Rin hates you for killing her sensei!" Mizuki said with crazy evil smile.
"NO!" Naruto cried as his Chakra bust around him.
(Meanwhile)
Rin sudden woke up as she sense Tailed Beast's Chakra and she really knows who's.
"Naruto!" Rin said as she quickly got off the bed and went off.
Fu and Hinata felt the same thing and believe that Naruto so they went off.
(Meanwhile)
Fox woke up and sudden sense something. He move his paw-hand to see how Naruto...
"NARUTO!" Fox yelled as he realize that Naruto is not in his bed.
His yell woke up others and together, they rush out of their lair.
(Meanwhile)
Alicorn sudden sense something she's familiar with.
"Kurama..." Alicorn said in sadness.
(Meanwhile)
"Die Nine-Tailed!" Mizuki said as he throw his giant Shuriken.
Naruto was so shock, he didn't notices that a shuriken is heading to him. Suddenly, someone wrap Naruto from behind and spin him around, took a hit for Naruto. It's Rin with the Shuriken sticking out on her back.
"Rin? Why?" Naruto asked.
"Because, we're the same. I have a Tailed Beast inside me too. When I was 15, I was on the mission and the Mist Ninjas kidnapped me and sealed the Three-Tailed inside me. The seal they use was unstable. I was ticking Chakra Boom if it wasn't for your mother and Fox sealing skills. But since then, nearly everyone avoid me. Your parents and Guardians are only ones looking out for me. I'm so sorry, Naruto. No one should suffer the same fate as I have." Rin said with tears.
Mizuki laugh as he reach his last Shuriken, "Give me a break. As sweet as this is, I got a lot to do so hold still so I can kill you both along with Iruka."
Suddenly, Mizuki jump backwards to avoid the incoming pair of Kunai. Fu and Hinata got in front of Naruto and Rin.
"Girls, you came too?" Naruto asked in surprise.
"Of course we have. You're our best friend. Friends always help each other." Fu said with Hinata nodded in agreement.
Naruto was confuse and shock, Rin, Fu and Hinata came to help him even though he had the monster inside him. With all that, Naruto turn and run off.
"Naruto!" Iruka said.
"Quick girls, grab the scroll and make a run for it. Find Naruto and take him back to his Guardians." Rin said.
Fu and Hinata nodded, grab the giant scroll and went after Naruto.
"Do you really think the girls wants to protect that monster like these so-call Guardians of Uzumaki. They probably want to finish him off theyselves." Mizuki said.
"Shut up!" Rin said as she throw the giant Shuriken back.
Mizuki just dodge it, "I'll be back to finish you off after I deal with the brats."
With that, Mizuki went after the newly Ninjas.
(Meanwhile)
Alicorn is watching Naruto and his true friends from her giant crystal ball.
"Lord Naruto..." Alicorn said.
She suddenly stand up and stomp her hoove. After that, all the Guardians but Naruto's main ones, gather around.
"Let's hurry! We need to save the last Uzumaki!" Alicorn said.
The Guardians roars.
(Meanwhile)
Naruto and his friends runs through the trees when Iruka arrive.
"Naruto, Girls! Mizuki is on his way! He's only after the scroll so give it to me!" Iruka said.
Suddenly Naruto, Hinata and Fu ram Iruka hard! Both of them land and Naruto follow by Hinata lean on the tree.
"How did you know..." Iruka puff in smoke and shows he's Mizuki in transformation, "that it's me and not Iruka?"
Naruto and his friends smile as Fu disappear with puff of smoke Naruto and Hinata puff of smoke, showing... "Cause I'm Iruka."
"And I'm Rin. You're not very good about clones." Rin said.
"Iruka, why are you protecting the Demon!? He killed your parents and nearly destroy the village. Now, he'll take his anger on the village. That's what all demons are!"
"...You're right." Iruka started.
Unknown to them, Naruto and his friends who found him few minutes before Iruka and Mizuki meet, are hiding behind the big tree, listening for what they saying. Naruto was shock. Iruka, the teacher Naruto look up to, really like everyone from the village, hating him!
"That is how BEASTS are. But that's not who Naruto is. Naruto works hard and never give up. Sure he mess up sometimes and everyone jumps on him. But it will make him stronger. So, you're wrong. He's not the Nine-Tailed Fox. He's Naruto Uzumaki from the Hidden Leaf Village!" Iruka said.
Naruto is in tears.
"Plus, he's the son our my Sensei; Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage." Rin said.
Mizuki was not too happy about it, "I was going to save you two for later, but I think I change my mind." Mizuki pull his weapon out, ready to finish them off.
Only to be knock away by Naruto, Hinata and Fu.
"Don't you dare hurt my sensei and friend." Naruto said.
Mizuki laugh, "I would like to see you try, Demon."
With that, Mizuki bit his thumb, made some hand signs and put his hand with his bleeding thumb on the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu!" Mizuki said.
Suddenly a large cloud of smoke puffed through the area, revealing a pack of five-headed hellhounds.
"Destory them and get that scroll!" Mizuki said.
The Leader one jump to attack but Fox arrived, jump on it, having a dog like fight. Cobra and Crocodile attack as well. One of the hellhound, got pass Naruto's guardians and went after Naruto when a beam hit it away. It was Alicorn along with all her children.
"Defend Naruto!" Alicorn said.
The Guardians snarling. Suddenly, the hellhounds and guardians attack.
Male Rhinoceros charge at Hellhound 1, ram it with his horn then flip it over.
Wolf and Hellhound 2 are dog-fighting till male Eagle grab it with his talons and lift it high in the air before release it to Shark who wack it with his tail.
Female Alligator wack her tail on Hellhound 3 who been pin down by male Ant and female Termite.
The fight took about 60 seconds before the Hellhounds runaway with their tail between their legs.
Mizuki hide behind the tree, "Useless beasts. Even they can't handle those creatures. I need to get that scroll."
However, before he can do that, a small cobra appear behind Mizuki and bitten him on his arm. In a second, Mizuki fall asleep. The cobra then pull him out from the trees where Cobra was waiting. His cobra tentacle lift Mizuki high.
"What shall we do to him, Mother Goddess?" Cobra asked.
"There has to be more reasons about why he did it. Plus, we need to know how did he get that forbidden Summoning Scroll We'll take him to T&I." Alicorn said.
"T&I? Teddy and Igloo?" Siren asked in confuse.
Ones with hands slap their forehead while others groan.
But Alicorn giggle, "No my little sea-horse. It's stand for Torture and Interrogation. It's when the enemy goes to spill the beans?"
"How can he 'spill the beans' if he has got none?" Siren asked.
"That's means that bad ninja will be force to tell the truth." Horse said.
"Oh..." Siren just said.
"Truth about what?" Siren asked.
Alicorn sigh, "I'll tell the rest later. For now, Phoenix, take Rin and Naruto's former teacher to the hospital. Scorpion, take Mr Mizuki to the T&I. Unicorn, take Miss Hinata and Miss Fu back to the village. Fox, Cobra and Crocodile, head to your lair. The rest of you, dismiss. I need to speak with Lord Naruto, alone." Alicorn said.
The Guardians nodded before went off, leaving the Mistress of Light and Uzumaki Prince alone.
Naruto look down.
"Lord Naruto?" Alicorn asked.
"Why wasn't I known?" Naruto asked sadly.
"It was for your protection. If anyone from outside or young ones inside knows about the Nine-Tailed, who knows what would happen." Alicorn said.
"But why protecting me? I'm nothing but a monster." Naruto said as he low his head.
Gently, Alicorn use her giant hoove to lift Naruto to look at her, "You're not a monster. You are an hero."
"Hero?" Naruto asked.
"Your parents trusted you to use the Nine-Tailed's power to protect those that are close to your heart." Alicorn said with a smile.
Naruto look at Mistress of the light for the while before he smile back.
Suddenly, Alicorn become cross, "Now then, I want to have a word with you about wonder off without your Guardians."
(A long talk later)
Naruto made his way to his lair when he meet Fu.
"You're alright?" Fu asked.
"Well, not really." Naruto said.
"Is it about the Nine-Tailed Fox?" Fu asked.
"How did you..."
Fu smile, "Maybe I didn't introduce myself properly. I'm Fu, the continer of the Seven-Tailed Beetle."
Naruto was surprise.
"Seven-Tailed has told me about the Nine-Tailed when we've first meet." Fu said.
Naruto was about to ask when he heard Crocodile roar, "I need to get going. See you in the morning."
"Later, friend." Fu said before they went different ways.
(And done! Took a while but I hope you like it. See you all soon!)
