Hello everyone and welcome to chapter 8 of my Naruto fan fiction. And I like to thank all who had review, since that really does mean a lot to me, and I like to welcome everyone new to the story.
Right off the bat l would like to say that this chapter will be different than the rest, due to me adding a form of storytelling. To those who have read comics, mangaes or has seen shows with someone talking from one seen over to another seen, like a narrator. That's what it basically is.
Any ways lets go on to the story.
I don't own Naruto just this story idea.

Chapter 7: The Real Naruto
(Hokage's Office)
The door opened to reveal three ANBU. One had a fox mask, another a wolf mask and the final one had a coyote mask. Each one stood next to one another, in that order, in front of the Hokage's desk.
"You called for us Hokage." The fox said.
"Yes," the Hokage replied, "Naruto asked me to tell you something." None of them reacted to this. "He told me to tell you he wanted some dumplings."
Each of them turned to look at one another for a second or two. "Did he say anything special about them." the coyote asked.
The Hokage just puffed some smoke from his pipe and replied, "Yes, he said he would like red, black and brown ones."
"How did he do on the final exam?" asked the wolf.
"Here look for yourself." The Hokage moved a folder that was on his table, to one of its edges. The one in the fox mask just picked it up and opened it, with the other two huddled close to one another in order to look at the folder. After a minute or two, the fox just closed the folder and said. "What do want to know?" Each of them moved their masks so that it was on top of their heads. This of coursers reviled that Kura was the one with the fox mask, Kat to be the one with the wolf mask, and Aki was the one in the coyote mask. "We will answer any questions that Naruto gave orders to answers. If you want more then you are going to talk to him about."
"Of course," said the old man, "Naruto told me the same thing."
"Speaking of which, where is Naruto anyways." asked Kat.
Anko then slammed her hand on the table, making everyone look at her. "Naruto is somewhere in the forest. We were looking at him though the Hokage's crystal ball, when the picture went out. We don't know what's happening out there, so we need to go and help him." She said this with a hint of worry in her tone.
"Forest, what is he doing there?" asked Aki.
"He was going to bring down one of our Chūnin that had just turned traitor." answered Yūgao. "We don't know what's happening and we fear he may need some help." She placed her hands on Anko's shoulders to keep her calm.
"Chūnin you say." answered Kura as she looked out the windows that were behind the Hokage. "Don't worry, Naruto can handle this." This made both Anko and Yūgao to have a confused look.
However the Hokage raised an eyebrow at this. "That is why I called you all in here. What did you three teach Naruto?"
"Let's see," Kura said as she crossed her hands, "Aki taught him some history and taught him some medical training, like pressure points, what plants to use as medicine, and how to make some medicine. Kat taught him combat, stealth and some tracking skills." The Hokage and his two kunoichis couldn't help but looked shocked. They couldn't believe that Naruto was trained in so many categories.
"Wait how strong is Naruto then?" asked Anko.
"We can't really tell you much about that." Aki replied. "However, all we can say is that Naruto has skills of a high Genin, if not mid- Chūnin." Once again everyone in the room was left speechless.
"Since not many know of Naruto's true skills," said Kura, "Naruto has the element of surprise on his side.
(Forest with Naruto)
'So if this Chūnin you say he's up against thinks Naruto is some weak little boy, will he is in for a world of hurt.'
"By order of the Hokage, you Mizuki rank Chūnin of the Hidden Leaf Village, are here by sentence to death on the terms of injuring a fellow Leaf ninja, attempting to kill fellow ninja comrades, stealing from the Hokage and revealing an S-Rank secret." Naruto said as he stood there waiting for Mizuki to react.
From there everything went silent for about a few seconds. That was soon broken by Mizuki's laughter. "Ha, ha… boy I would have to thank you for that laugh, if I wasn't going to kill you demon." Mizuki couldn't help but add a hint of venom to the word, in hopes to crush the boy's spirit even more. Sadly, Naruto did nothing, he just stood there with a blank face and his hands were behind his back.
Finally having enough of this game, Mizuki pulled out his second giant shuriken from his back. "Any last words before you die brat."
Again Naruto just stood there with a blank face, a face that was pissing Mizuki off. "Nothing, all well. Now die!" Mizuki threw the giant shuriken at Naruto.
At that moment, time stopped. The projectile was now frozen in mid-air. Naruto took this moment to look around him, to see where he stood in all of this. He looked to his left and saw that Iruka was now siting up of the ground next to a tree. The shuriken that was in his back was now next to him on the ground. 'Looks like Iruka got that shuriken out. Seeing that he made that much effort to get it out proves that he will be alright, if it wasn't for that flak jacket, Iruka would have been dead.'
'Naruto has the ability to watch everything and can think 2, if not 20 ahead. Naruto isn't a fool. He would never fight any one that is stronger than him. Anyone who fights Naruto really needs to be on their toes. After all you yourself said it Hokage, Naruto is full of surprises.'
Naruto looked to his right and notice the scroll lying on the ground, 'First things first, get the info from Mizuki about who he works for.' He turned back to look at Mizuki, who still had that evil victories smirk. Naruto couldn't but feel angry as he looked into the traitor's eyes, yet formed a smirk of his own. 'Oh Mizuki how much of a fool are you. You've sabotage most of my studies since day one and tried to make my life a living hell. Sadly, I knew of your little game since day one and I won't be your pawn in this little scheme you have. Now let's see who you are working for.'
Naruto looked Mizuki dead in the eye. His pupil slowly narrowed becoming smaller and smaller as he looked deeper in to the eyes of the traitor. A quick second later, his pupil returned to normal form. 'So that's who you're working for. More reason for me to kill you. But first…'
In an instant time began to return to normal and the massive shuriken was now a couple of feet from Naruto. Mizuki's eyes might as well have been out of his sockets, as he watches as his weapon was about to make contact with the demon boy, when…
(Hokage's Office)
"Wait if he has all those skills," asked the Hokage, "then what did you teach him?"
Kura couldn't help but form a smile as she heard those words.
(Back with Naruto)
CLANK
Iruka looked up, only to see another shuriken coming right at him. Sadly, he was not fast enough to doge it. The shuriken pierced though his flak jacket and his heart killing Iruka instantly. Mizuki watched in fear as Iruka's body drops down. What really scared him was how the shuriken look like. One of the shuriken's points was no longer there. In fact it looked like the point was sliced off.
Mizuki looked back at Naruto and was shock to see what he was looking at.
'Me I taught Naruto some Kenjutsu.'
Naruto stood there as calm as one could be. However, Mizuki was looking at the object in Naruto's hand. The object was shining due to the moon's light. Mizuki could already tell it was a sword of some sort. Sadly it was on he has never seen before in his life.
The sword's blade was odd since it was colored in a mixture of black and dark blood red. The blade was straight and was about 29 inches long. It had dark blue flame like pattern on the blade's edge and it had a silver like collar. Its handle was cover in black cloth that had mid-night blue diamond pattern on both sides. It even had a strange blue paw like print on both sides of the handle. The handle was about 10 inches long making the whole blade 39 inches tall. The strange thing about the sword was that it didn't have a guard like normal swords would have.
Mizuki looked at the ground that was between the tree and Naruto. His eyes landed on a shiny object that was planted on the ground. The object was the broken part of the shuriken.
(Hokage's Office)
"You taught him how to use a sword." the old man said shocked to hear that the boy he call a grandson is able to use swords in battle.
"Tell me how much did you teach him? Where does he stand?" Yūgao questioned. Being someone who also uses Kenjutsu and cares deeply for Naruto, she wanted to know how far he has come.
"He is about high Chūnin, if not low Jounin in Kenjutsu. Any specific skills, we can't say anything about that." Kura answered. Everyone was shock to hear the set of Naruto's skills.
Yūgao couldn't help but ask, "What kind of blade does he have?"
Kura looked at her and said, "He cares two Ninja-to blades however, they have the look of a Chokutō. This is because his blades don't have the guard like most swords have, but due to its size fitting in the Ninja-to category. He told me that he one day he wants to carry a Katana or two. I believe he was inspired by you weren't he?" Yūgao couldn't help but smile at the thought of being the reason Naruto wanted to use swords.
"Kura, how were you all able to teach Naruto in such a small amount of time and be as good as you all say?" the Hokage said.
Kura just turned to him and smile. "It's because the first jutsu we taught him was the…"
(Back With Naruto)
Mizuki was beyond angry now. He thought that this was going to be easy but killing Naruto was becoming to be the hard part.
"You alright there Mizuki, you look a little bit stress out." Mizuki just reached behind him and pulled out a kunai from his pouch. Naruto saw this and was ready for what he was about to do.
"You," Mizuki said, "why won't you die!?" He jumped from the tree and made a b-line straight for Naruto. Naruto just placed his hands together, as he was holding his sword.
'Shadow Clone Jutsu'
With a burst of smoke, another Naruto stood next to the other. "Ha, do you think a clone will keep you safe from me." Mizuki throw a fist with his right hand to the Naruto on his right side. The Naruto caught the fist with his left hand. 'Got you,' Mizuki then tried to kick the same Naruto with his left leg. However, the other Naruto caught that with both his hands, dropping its sword in the proses. 'What the hell.'
Thinking fast on his feet, Mizuki used his other lag on the one holding the other. He kicked the Naruto and made it crash into the other one. When they let go, Mizuki landed on his feet with his kunai ready. Both of the Narutos burst into smokes and where gone as soon as the smoke cleared.
SNAP
Mizuki quickly turned around to see another Naruto charging at him with his sword ready. Already having his kunai on his right hand side ways to his right, Mizuki ready himself for the attack and got up the kunai in place before Naruto's blade was ready to hit.
SLICE
Mizuki looked at his kunai, and he noticed that the blade was cut off. Getting angry again, Mizuki turned to face Naruto. However, Naruto had the same hand seals he did before.
"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu," he said. With another burst of smoke, Mizuki was surrounded by what look like 19 Narutos that were all on the trees' branches ready to strike.
Not wasting time, Mizuki made his own hand seals. Once he was done he slammed his hand on the ground and said, "Earth Style: Stone Dome Jutsu," The ground bust due to stone coming out of it. The stone curved so it made a dome shape, keeping Mizuki inside. 'This combo attack is going to use up a lot of my chakra, but it's all I got.' Again Mizuki made more hand sings. Once he was done he slammed his hands on the wall of dome. "Earth Style: Stone Spike Jutsu,"
Outside all the Narutos saw the dome form small spikes all over its surface. Inside, Mizuki was forming another set of hand signs. He again slammed his hands to the wall of the dome and said, "Earth Style: Stone Spike Burst Jutsu,"
With those words, all the spikes that were around the dome, shot forward at fast speeds that none of the Narutos were able to react too. The spikes bust though everything, the branches, trees and all the Narutos. When everything settled, Mizuki notice that the trees' tops were barely there and the trees were lucky to be standing after the attack. Mizuki even notice a shiny object that was to his feet. However, all change when he felt something behind him.
Naruto was behind Mizuki with his sword ready to hit Mizuki. However, Mizuki was ready and quickly turn around and hit Naruto with the shiny object. Naruto cried out in pain and spun around hitting the ground. Naruto looked down to his sides and notice that the object was the piece of shuriken he cut off earlier.
Mizuki looked at Naruto and noticed that his sword was planted on the ground about half way from each other. Taking the moment, Mizuki charged to the blade. Sadly, as soon as he grabbed it with his right hand, he cried out in pain. Mizuki quickly dropped the blade and looked at his hand. His palm was somehow sliced up. His hand looked like he was cut by glass. Mizuki looked back at Naruto.
PUFF
Already knowing what was about to happen, Mizuki slammed his left hand and said, "Earth Style: Stone Wall Jutsu," A stone wall came out of the ground right behind him. The wall looked about 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide. Just then Mizuki heard the sound of metal scraping the stone wall. 'Too easy,' he thought as he was forming another set of hand signs, 'Let's see him get out of this.'
He was about to place his left hand on the stone when a blue beam of blue light cut though the stone. The beam cut into Mizuki left shoulder. Mizuki cried out in pain, 'What the hell is this?' before he could ask, Naruto's voice was heard on the other side of the wall,
"Lightning Style: Lightning Pierce Sword Jutsu," Mizuki had a look of mixture of both fear and shock. He couldn't believe that Naruto knew another jutsu, what worse an element jutsu. He was afraid since Naruto was forcing his blade through the stone. Right now there was a beam of lightning covering the sword and Naruto was forcing it to go though.
Not having much of a choice, Mizuki forced his body to move forward, causing more of the lightning cloak blade to pierce more though his left shoulder. When he was at the right distance, Mizuki placed his left hand on the wall and said, "Earth Style: Stone Spike Jutsu,"
Once again the other side of the wall had spikes begin to form. Noticing this Naruto quickly pulled his sword out and backed up before…
"Earth Style: Stone Spike Burst Jutsu," Mizuki shouted.
What happen next was all a blur for both Mizuki and Naruto. However, one sound filled the air for the two. That sound of someone's blood bursting out of its body.
Mizuki looked up from the ground and notice that Naruto was on the ground motion less. He noticed that one of his stone spikes was lodged into Naruto's chest and blood pore out onto the grass. Mizuki couldn't help but smile at this.
'Finally he's dead,' he thought. Mizuki turned to his left and saw that the Scroll of Sealing was on the ground next to a tree. Mizuki just got up and walked over to it. He picked it up with his left hand and looked around to see if anyone was around. 'I have to get out of here before people show up to cheek what that burst of chakra was,' Mizuki quickly jump up to a tree but was having trouble keeping his balance. 'Dame it, I used up a lot of chakra when I was hiding from everyone and that dame brat made me waste what little I have. All I got is a bit to give me a head start.' Without wasting time, Mizuki dashed from tree top to tree top never looking back.
(Hokage's Office)
"Are you serious?" the kage asked, not believing what he had just heard. Kura just nodded her head and said nothing. "So you're telling me that you taught my surrogate grandson a B-Rank jutsu. A jutsu that is hard to do and has often killed people by make just one clone. And you tell me that Naruto not only survived it but can make 25 clones at once and not die from it."
"Actually its 50," the old man couldn't help but looked a bit confused but was shocked if she was saying what he was thinking. "The 25 clones is the limit where he doesn't feel any of the side effects. After that he feels some side effects when he makes beyond that. 50 are the most he's done and has gotten a massive headache by doing so." By now the Hokage was really having a hard time trying to keep the pipe in his mouth as he hears all this. The other two couldn't believe on how strong Naruto really is.
In fact the same thought was run by all of them, 'If he can do that many he ether has a lot of chakra or has the best chakra control or even both.'
"Well I thank you for taking the time to tell us this…" the old man said but was interrupted by Kura.
"Actually there is still one more thing we need to tell you. Naruto told us that this was most important of all." The three in the room couldn't that there was one more thing about Naruto that they need it to know. "While outside the village Naruto took a liking to one very skill that was the key to the Uzumaki clan abilities…"
Kura was cut off, when she saw the Hokage's pipe fall out of his mouth and onto his desk. The Hokage couldn't believe that Naruto might have been taught one of the most difficult set of skills in the ninja world. To make sure he was right he said, "Was it Fūinjutsu?"
"Yup," everyone turned to look at Kat, who was leaning on the front door the room, "If you ask us he is a natural at it." By now shock would be a useless word to describe the look on Sarutobi's face. All he could hope that everything needed to know about Naruto would end.
"Sadly," began Kura, "due to him using the Shadow Clone Jutsu, to learn the basics of Fūinjutsu, we don't know where he stands in it. All we know is that he is no beginner. He has made many of beginner seals; however, what really makes him different from other is the fact that he has made his own seal." Kura looked back to Yūgao and said, "You asked me about Naruto swords earlier. Will there is one thing I forgot to mention. Naruto's blades are cloaked in a black/red substance that makes the sword more affected."
"Let me guess this has something to do with the seal Naruto made?" the Hokage said. By know he wasn't shock to hear that Naruto made a seal. Seeing how skill Naruto was told to be, this really didn't really surprise him. Kura looked back at the Hokage.
"Yes," she started, "the seal he made is meant for manly weapons." They all looked at her in hopes that she would tell them about the seal. "I really don't know much about the seal. All I know is that Naruto took many other seals and combine them into one. The seal is edged onto the blade's collar. Naruto told us that the seal needs blood to work. In fact," Kura had pulled out a scroll that was in her back pouch. She placed in on the Hokage's desk and unrolled it. The three who watched couldn't help but feel amazed at seeing the inner part of the scroll. The inside of the scroll had many sealing symbols. Kura placed her hand on the middle of the scroll and poof a large sword appeared on the desk. The sword was beyond what any of the three in the room had seen.
The blade total length was about 57 inches long. The handle alone was about 22 inches long, so the blade had to be at least 35 inches long. The sword's scabbard was black and had a shiny glow of red for its color and its hilt matched that color. The handle was nothing special but had a large animal like paw on it in an orange color. Anko and Yūgao, being trackers, noticed that the paw was of a fox. The sword was straight and it too didn't have a guard on its hilt. All were amazed, but none was more amazed then Yūgao. "Is this an O Katana?" she asked.
Kura looked at her and replied, "In a way it is." She then picks the sword up from its handle but keep the body of the blade on the table. "My blade dose fit in the area of an O Katana blade, but since it doesn't have guard and that it is straight then a katana it doesn't fit in the category. Some would it would fit in the Chokutō category because it's straight and fits perfectly in its scabbard, but its size makes it so it's not in that category."
Kura turned back to the Hokage and then back to her sword. She slowly started to unsheathe the e sword. This of course made the two kunoichis next to her become alert. However, they became calm when they saw that Kura had only unsheathe about three inches of the blade and set it back down. Everyone again looked at what little they could see of the blade. The blade was covered in a dark red color, almost like blood. However, what really caught the Hokage's eyes was an odd looking drawing that was on the blade's collar. The collar was of a gold like color and had a black drawing on it.
"As you may have notice Hokage, there is a black drawing on the blade's collar. That drawing is the seal." The Hokage and his two kunoichis looked at the drawing, wondering what it did. "You also may have notice that the blade has this blood like color. Will that all do to the seal." Everyone looked at Kura in hopes that she could explain more on that. "I don't really know what kind of seals that Naruto put together; however, I do know he used parts from the blood seal in this seal. I believe you know what that seal dose right."
The Hokage took the pipe out of his mouth and just let smoke come out of mouth. He replied, "The blood seal is the seal that requires a specific blood, either family or specific blood the creator of the seal made to. This seal is manly to protect important contents, from families' scrolls or any other important belongings from getting into the wrong hands."
"Correct," replied Kura, "that is the main function of the blood seal. However, Naruto may have mange to improve on it. As you all see my sword's blade is colored in in a blood like color. Will that's because it is blood, my blood to be correct." Everyone raised an eyebrow at this but allowed her to finish her statement. "Naruto's seal somehow was able to cover my entire blade with my blood. By doing do my sword now has a personal link to me. This means that anyone else who grabs my sword and I don't want them to, then the blade will start to hurt the person holding it. We don't know how it works but we do know as soon as someone grabs the sword's handle, they will feel pain running through their hand and when they look at their hand, it will look like something was cutting their hands."
The Hokage was by far impressed on what he heard. Sure most of what she said was confusing but she was only telling him on what Naruto told them to tell him. While he was thinking on what to do next, Anko couldn't help but notice that Aki was sitting down on the ground in a meditation pose. Wondering what she was doing, she asked, "Aki what are you doing?"
However she didn't answer her, but Kat did, "While you all were talking, Aki send out two shadow clones and she is using her sensor skills to see what is going on with Naruto." Both of the kunoichis couldn't help but remember that Naruto was still out there. Before anyone of them could say something, Kat said, "So what's going on out there Aki."
Without opening her eyes, Aki answered, "I'm not too sure, but there are two chakra signatures that are about four miles out from the village. One of them is not moving and is still, I don't know who it is; however, I do know that Naruto is not that far from him. Wait what is that?" Everyone looked at her, waiting to hear what she was seeing.
Kat was the one to ask, "What is it Aki? What do you see?"
"I'm not sure," Aki replied, "but it looks like some of Naruto's chakra is next to the other chakra signature." Both Kura and Kat looked at each other in a bit of a wondering look.
"You don't think he is using 'that' do you?" Kat asked, with a question look on her face. However, this also gave questionable looks from the other three in the room.
"I don't know." Kura answered, "We told him to use them in life and death situations until he became a ninja and use them when needed."
"What are you two talking about?" Anko asked, having enough with being left in the dark about Naruto. Kura simple turned back to face the Hokage. The Hokage, and his two kunoichis, were waiting for her to respond.
"Very well, I believe there is no harm in telling you since Naruto also told us to tell you this." The three in question couldn't help but raise an eye at this, but allowed her to continue nonetheless. "The weapon seal that you just saw was not the only set of seals that Naruto made. However before I continue, what is Naruto doing out there again?"
"He was going to bring down one of our Chūnin that had just turned traitor," Yūgao answered, "The traitor asked him to steal a scroll from the Hokage's office. Naruto took the scroll in hopes of baiting the traitor out."
"A scroll, where was this scroll at?" Kat asked.
"Behind that wall." the Hokage said, pointing to the wall to her right. Kat walked alongside the wall and began to tap along as she walked. It didn't take her long to hear a slight difference in the knocking at a part of the wall. Normal people wouldn't tell the difference but both Kura and Aki were both able to tell the difference.
Kat slowly pushed on the wall till it open. The wall had reviled a secret room. The room was dark; in fact the only light source was the light from the main room. Thankfully Kat didn't need the light. From what she could tell, the room looked like some sort of hallway closet, with shelves on both sides of the room. Kat noticed that the shelves had books, scrolls and odd weapons on them. However, what really caught her eye was a big scroll that was on the ground in the middle of the room. She picked it up and walked back to the main room.
"Is this the scroll?" she asked. The old man and the other two women in the room were at a loss for words. There in Kat's hands was the same scroll that they saw Naruto take not too long ago.
"Wait if that's the scroll then what did Naruto take?" Yūgao asked, but no one answered her.
"So you were one step ahead Naruto." Everyone turned to look at Kura. She was still looking at the Hokage. "As I was saying, that weapon seal he can make was not the only thing that he can make. In fact if we're right that traitor of yours is about to fall into a trap because…"
(In Forest with Mizuki)
Mizuki was currently up in a tree that was next to a wide open field. He was bandaging his right hand, in hopes to stop the blading. He was still not sure what had caused this since all he remembered was picking up Naruto's blade and then felling pain afterwards. 'Should have known not to touch anything that demon had.' he thought, 'I bet any weapon he touches will hurt those who are mortal afterward.' He took in a deep breath and a cheeky smirk soon fools. 'Oh well, he's dead now and is no longer a problem.'
Mizuki turns to look at the scroll that had been resting on his back. An idea then pops in to his head. 'I'm sure master won't mind that I write a few of this jutsu down for myself.' He pulled it off his back and on to his lap." Now let's see what I can get out of this. "He slowly opens the scroll. However, when he did he was a bit confused at what he saw. Inside the scroll were many rectangular pieces of paper. All of them had this wired looking black marks all around the paper's surface. Mizuki knew he has seen this symbols pattern before. However, what really caught his eye was a paw like mark that was on the center of the pieces of paper. He once hunted in the forest as a hobby, and he knew that this was a paw print of a fox.
'…because Naruto can make his own Explosive Tags.'
SPSSSS
The Chūnin was all too familiar of that sound. Without much of a thought, Mizuki throw the scroll down to the ground and then jumped off the tree.
BOOM
(Hokage's Office)
"He can make what?!" said the Hokage along with Anko and Yūgao.
"Explosive Tags," Kura answered, "Look we told Naruto to never use them with inside the village walls unless he was in a life or death situation." Feel that the two kunoichis were about to ask a very similar question. "And no, none of use taught him how to make one. He just learned on his own. Remember he knew the Shadow Clone Jutsu andhad a lot of time on his hand. So being able to learn this is really not that shocking." The two kunoichis couldn't help but see her point. If Naruto had really been able to do all the things she had talked about, then this should not be much of a surprise.
However, Anko still had one question on her mind, "Wait you said that he can make his own Explosive Tags. Does this mean that they are more special than an average Explosive Tags?"
"In a way they are," Kura answered, "For starters, the tag still has the basic seals around it, but Naruto's tags doesn't have the kanji for 'explode' on it. Instead it has an image of a paw on it. Naruto learned that Uzumaki clan's homeland, Uzushiogakure, was home to many rare kinds of animals. The rarest kinds were those of the wild dog family. So to honor his family's homeland he puts a paw on the tags he makes."
"Wait if he wanted to honor his mother's clan's homeland, then why didn't he just make a whirlpool instead?" the old man asked.
"I didn't say he didn't." Kura answered, "In fact to tell you the truth, Naruto had mange to make a total of four tags as of now." Once again the Hokage along with Anko and Yūgao were at a loss for words.
'Really after all they heard they are still shocked by this?' the other three in the room all thought.
"So far Naruto had made three different types of Explosive Tags," Kura continued, "One has the paw print of fox, another is a coyote's, and the last one is a wolf's paw. Each tag has its unique abilities; however we don't know much of them. What we do know is that the paw design is meant to have a specific blast radius. The fox tag is meant to be the weakest of the three with a blast zone big enough to take out this room. The coyote one can take out this floor and the wolf one can take down the building and maybe more if its place right."
The Hokage just sat there, not believing that there was more to Naruto that he didn't know. This also didn't go well with the other ninjas in the room either. They couldn't believe that Naruto was able to learn and do all of this in three years.
"Hmm…" Everyone turned to look at Aki. She was still in the same spot as before, so they all wounded what was happening out there.
"What going on out there Aki." Kat asked.
Aki slowly opened her eyes and looked at everyone. "Well," she started, "Naruto did it. He made a trap for that Chūnin he was after. From the looks of it Naruto used a couple of his Fox Explosive Tags. Knowing the blast radiuses on those things and the distance they are from the village, it is likely that no one should have heard them."
'Impressive Naruto.' the Hokage thought.
'So Naruto is both skilled and smart, I might have to see how good he really is for myself.' Both Anko and Yūgao's thought.
'Not bad boy' Kat thought.
'Like I said one step ahead of everything' Kura thought.
"However due to the explosion, I can't see what is happening down there and even if I could they are out of my range so everything is up to Naruto now." Aki stated.
"I wouldn't worry too much about that." Kat said,
(With Mizuki)
'After all if he had to use this. Then that means that the fight is as good as over.'
Mizuki slowly opened his eyes. He was welcome with a sight of fire. The fire was burning a few trees of where he was.
"It was a trap," Mizuki whispered to himself, "It was A TRAP! That demon didn't steal the scroll and made a trap for me." Mizuki slowly dose his best to get up, but fail when pain stared to come from his left leg. He looked to see what was wrong, and was meet with a gruesome scene. His leg must have gotten caught in the blast since he could barely able to tell it was his lag. His leg looked like it had third, if not worse, degree burns. His foot was nothing but an over cooked meat. Part of his foot had blood coming out of the dark meat, maybe from trying to get up. His leg was in a smellier state but easy to tell it was a part of him since his pants was covering most of it.
Seeing how things were at the moment, Mizuki knew he couldn't return to the village, at last not in his current state. He also knew if he went to his master, he would be killed for failing his mission. Mizuki didn't even know how to react. He would be capture and tortured by the Leaf or be kill by a ninja from the leaf or his master, maybe both. All he knew was that he was not going anywhere so he placed his head down to the grown and tried to get some rest. That was until he heard,
"Man you look like shit." Mizuki eyes burst open at the sound of the voice. He knew who's voice that was, but he was hoping that his mind was playing tricks on him. He looked up and noticed a dark figure in front of the flames. He knew who it was just by the way his hair looked and his left eye that was a blue color.
Mizuki's right eye slowly twitched as he did his best to make a smile. Sadly, that didn't last long and his rage began to boil. "Why?" he whispered
"WHY?! Why won't you die?" no response, "How, you are the class's Dead-Last, how the hell have you lasted this long against me?" still no answer, "ANSWER ME DEMON!"
Naruto just closed his eye and said, "I did my work and just out smarted you."
"BULLSHIT! You had no way of…"
"...getting stronger." Naruto interrupted, "Did you really think that putting me in genjutsus and sabotaging my studies by giving me harder work then everyone else and by teach me the wrong things so I make myself look like a fool." Mizuki was a bit shock at this.
"You knew, you knew and you did nothing about it. Why didn't you use your true strength then? After all it might have saved you the trouble."
"Hum… Who said I didn't?" Mizuki only got confuse by the comment. "After all I thought I gave you a big clue this afternoon."
"What the hell are you talking abo…?" Mizuki stopped himself as he remembered what he said earlier this day.
'…he just helped me prove that people only see what they want to believe and they never think of anything else.' This echoed thought out his head. 'After all deception is a ninja's greatest tool…'
"You, you were playing with us all this time."
"Sure let's go with that." Naruto said without a care in his tone, "Sadly, our time has come to an end and I'm sorry to tell you but it's time for you to die."
Mizuki panicked at first but then began to laugh when he realized something, "HAHA… you can't kill me. If you kill me then the village won't be able to know who I'm working for and you will be more likely to be in deep trouble for attempted murder of a ninja. Face it brat, you are in no way in the position to threaten me."
He laughed for a bit, but stopped when he heard Naruto laugh. "Your right that is funny, but I'm afraid you off on a few things. One, I can kill you since you are a missing-nin now and since you are out of the village your body will have to be dispose of now. Second, don't worry about the info; I know who you are working for, so you are not even needed. Third, how could I be in trouble if this was all agreed by the Hokage? And finally, I'm killing missing-nin, a ninja that had abandoned his village for his own gain, not a ninja."
"You brat, you murdered Iruka or did you just forget?"
Again Naruto just laughed and said, "Oh boy that's rich. I mean you are a Chūnin and you still haven't noticed." Mizuki just became angry at him, mocking him of his rank, "Just look closely can you tell what I'm talking about."
Mizuki just stared at him but saw nothing different, "What are you talking about yo…" he stopped himself when he noticed something, something that shouldn't be there. Behind Naruto, Mizuki noticed a shiny object in the sky. Mizuki eyes went wide at what he saw, 'Is that the moon?" he thought, "No it can't be, that's direction is where the village is. Everyone knows that the moon rises from the border of the country and sets behind the village, not backwards. Unless if I'm in a…"
Mizuki was brought out of his thoughts by the sound of Naruto's chuckles, "Did you figure it out?"
"Genjutsu, you have me in a genjutsu. But how and when did you do it?"
"I don't know…" Naruto slowly opens his eyes and Mizuki is shocked at what he sees. "…maybe because of these?"
At first Mizuki thought that he had the Sharingan but he soon realized that his eyes were way off from that. Naruto's eyes were no longer blue; in fact his eyes were now gold like color. The outer part of his eyes was no longer white but a red/orange color. Mizuki thought this was the Sharingan because it had a ring like form that had three shapes on the ring. However, this shape did not resemble the Sharingan's tomoe, in fact they looked like the slits, found on cats, and these slits looked like they were going right through a dot. Speaking of slit like object, there was a slit like object going right though his pupil. In fact these eyes looked very similar to the Sharingan, the only difference were the color, the non-tomoe like shape and that there was an extra ring on the outer part of the pupil with two more of these slit like shapes.
"Behold Mizuki my Dōjutsu, The Nine Sights." Mizuki didn't respond, "I know it's a weird name but you should be honored Mizuki, not many have seen my eyes. Sadly, these eyes are going to take away your life."
"So those eyes are the reason I'm in a genjutsu." Mizuki said this with a bit of rage in his tone.
"These eyes have many tricks and genjutsu is one of them. In fact remember when you throw your giant shuriken at me. Well see at that time I used one of the eyes genjutsu on myself. You see this specific genjutsu allows me to be able to stop time for a little bit. During that time I was able to use the other ability my eyes have and read your mind. To think you would work for that 'snake'."
Mizuki tensed up at hearing this, 'He knows?'
Not letting him answer, Naruto continue, "By doing so I was able to cast the genjutsu you are in at the moment. Sadly, you are in one of my most dangerous genjutsu, because this genjutsu make both reality and imagination into one and the longer you stay in the genjutsu the more really your pain is. For example, you saw me kill Iruka but to tell you the truth Iruka is still alive, passed out but alive. Just like the moon behind me and even that clone you thought was me wasn't real. Your mind was making it look real to you but you could not tell the difference. Now I say we part ways."
As if on cue, grows can be heard behind Naruto. Mizuki looked behind Naruto to see about nine animals coming out from the flames. These were not just any animals they were all foxes, very big foxes. Mizuki was starting to freak out since all this foxes had red eyes and they looked dead. In fact all of these foxes didn't even have flash in some places or limbs. Most of them didn't have eyes and others had cuts that showed their organs.
"Sad isn't it," Mizuki looked back at Naruto, "how your favorite game of fox hunting would be the end of you. You know you were a part of the many fox hunts that happened on my birthday. The same hunts that I was almost killed in almost every year. I found out that you were among them with my eyes and I bet that Iruka was one too. Too bad he won't be joining you. I also know that when I was gone you hunted these foxes as a form of game for you. Looks like these foxes want to have their turn."
"This isn't real," Mizuki said, "This isn't real!"
"Oh really," Naruto looked to his left and then to his right, "Sick um." With those words the foxes charge towards Mizuki. Scared out of his mind, Mizuki tried to make a run for it but couldn't due to his leg. Within seconds the foxes were on him. They all bit into him and tore off as much of his flesh as they could and the sounds of Mizuki's screams filled the air.
Naruto however, closed his eyes and said, "3," the screaming could still be heard, "2," screaming stops but the sound of the foxes eating Mizuki could still be heard, "1," dead silence.
Naruto opened his eyes and what lay in front of him was a horrid scene. Mizuki was barely recognizable now; the only thing that was noticeable of him was both his blue hair and the right side of his face. The rest was a horrible. His right arm was removed from his entire body and his left eye was missing. His chest was all ripped open, with his bones out of him and his organs were either destroyed or pulled out of him, even both. His legs barley had any meat on them and the bones were chewed on.
Havening seen enough, Naruto made a few more had signs and said, "Namaterasu"
(Hokage's Office)
The Hokage and his two ninjas were confused as to what had just happened. Anko had asked Kura a question about Naruto and then Kat, Aki and her froze up and had their eyes bugged out.
"That chakra," Kat said.
"That form," Kura added.
"Do you think he used it?" Aki asked.
"Hay we are still here, don't leave us in the dark. What's happening?" Anko asked.
Kura looked at the Hokage dead in the eye. The old man was also wondering what was going on, "It looks like not only is you traitor problem gone Hokage but that ninja's body will never be found."
(With Naruto)
Naruto was currently walking back into the village from where he came from. It wasn't long until an ANBU with a coyote mask landed in front of him.
"Naruto,"
"Coyote,"
"Is the traitor dead?"
"No one will find him."
"Good, we already took Iruka to the hospital. I see you used 'those' in your fight."
"My options were limited."
"Fair enough, I suggest you go home and get some rest. There are still others looking for you."
"Okay, but before I leave tell the old man 'that his snake has come back'. Trust me he will know what I'm talking about."
"Very well" both of them said with blank faces. Naruto just walked past the ANBU and vanish. The ANBU burst into smoke.
(Hokage's Office)
"What?" everyone said, No words could explain what they just heard.
"Sadly, our time has come to an end we can't explain more of what we had said.
"But," Anko said but was stop by the Hokage,
"Anko that's enough, they told us all they could. I guess Naruto will have to fill in the holes to use if he wants to. You three are dismissed." All three in question nodded and began to walk to the door.
"Wait," Anko said, "You didn't answer my question. I asked dose Naruto train and if so how?"
Kura stopped and said, "We don't really know. We do know that he is training his stealth by running from the ANBU in that orange jumpsuit. He must also be using those drawing he's been making to practice his sealing skills. Any other type of train he dose must be during his spare time. Now if there isn't anything else, we will be on our way." They all turn an leave the room but Aki stops and says,
"Hokage Naruto told me to tell you that your snake has come back, said that he got this from that traitor."
Both the Hokage and Anko's eyes widen at the news, as Aki left.
"Anko, Yūgao both of you go home I have a feeling things are about to change and we must be ready for it."
(With Naruto)
Naruto had just entered his bed room and was looking at his Dōjutsu in the mirror. "Great I lost one of my sights today."
Naruto's eyes were both missing one of those slit like things on the second ring.
"What do you think; you used a lot of chakra today kit. And you know what happens when you use those eyes to long."
"I know but it will take some time to get it back."
"I'll get started on it just get some rest already."
Naruto said nothing as he lay out on his bed and drifted off to sleep.
Puff
A cloud of smoke burst over Naruto and what is there was the true look of Naruto. All any one could say was that his mask has fallen, the real Naruto is here.
Finally done!
