TWS 12

HELLO Internet and all who inhabit it. This is Mors Draco and I am here with another chapter of "The Weird Shinobi". First of all, I own nothing. Not Naruto out anything else I might mention, except my OC Drake. Now before I get to the chapter I going to describe Drake real quick. The reason for this is because a reader left a review and asked what Drake looks like and I thought that would be a good idea because of the four year or so time skip. So before we get to the story I'm going to give you a description of Drake's appearance.

Drake has hair that is a slightly dark shade of brown, it is cut short to about an inch and half, and comes down to just about his eyebrows level in the front and the base of his skull in the back. He is about 5'11" or 180.34 centimeters in height and weighs about 200 lbs. or 90.7184 kilograms. Drake is quite physically fit with developing muscle and broad shoulders. His eyes are still brown on the inside of the iris and blueish green on outside. A small amount of stubble is forming on his face and he may at one point have some kind of facial hair style; something like a full beard or maybe a mustache goatee combo sort of thing, but that will be later. Drake's style hasn't changed that much, he still has mostly a black wardrobe with a splash of crimson in there as well. There really isn't much left other than that with Drake and now you have a mental picture of what he looks like.

Some other things that I wanted to bring up is that Drake will have flashbacks to explain things that happen in the time skip. These parts will be with be used to introduce characters that Drake has meet or things that he has done. Also I will be trying to get better at writing action scenes because I feel that is my weakest aspect of my writing. Granted I haven't written many actions scenes yet but it's something that I will be improving on. I will also have all the Jutsu names underlined and the translation in English in parentheses.

Ex: "Bunshin no Jutsu" (Clone Technique)

And without further ado…the next chapter.

It was dark out with only the pale full moon as a source of light. The rustle of leaves was the only natural sound to be heard. It was peaceful, as if all of nature was asleep. A few insects chirped every so often making sure the world still knew they were there. One might feel as though they were in heaven with how gentle and quiet the night was…..

DARN IT, DARN IT, DARN IT!" Yelled a very annoyed and slightly winded Naruto. "Why can't I get this stupid jutsu to work? I've tried to make this thing work, but it just won't. WHY?" Naruto had been working on the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique) for nearly six hours at the house in the woods where Mizuki told Naruto to meet him with the scroll ever since the Hokage gave Naruto and I (Drake) the Scroll of Sealing. We were both working on the technique and it took us all the afternoon and evening; with a break for dinner, till late into the night. I had finally been able to perform the jutsu and I was able to create as many as twenty clones without being that tired. Naruto was still struggling to make a single clone and that may have been my fault. When we had started I had told Naruto to try and use a small amount of chakra first as to make sure he could control it. This was a good idea to teach him control, but I wanted to make sure that I got it done first in order to help Naruto better.

"Okay Naruto, since you aren't able to make the least amount of clones right now. How about you try and make as many clones as you possible can." I suggested. I now believed that going in the opposite way would help Naruto to make the clones better. He nodded and started to try again. He started to mold his chakra with his hands in a seal that looked like both his pointer and middle fingers in a cross shape. But before Naruto could perform the technique, Iruka burst through the tree line. He looked at Naruto and marched right up to him, completely ignoring me. As he approached the frustrated blond, Naruto just smiled at his sensei and was about to say something but was cut off. Iruka interrupted Naruto by punching him square on his head.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?" Shouted Iruka as Naruto tried to rub out the pain on his head. "Why and how were you able to steal the Scroll of Sealing from the Hokage's office?"

"I didn't steal the scroll, it was given to Drake and I by the Hokage. How do you not know this?" Asked Naruto as he frowned from the punch he received.

"The Hokage told all available Chunin and Jounin that you stole the scroll and ran out of the village. We were ordered to locate you and bring you and the scroll back." Explained Iruka while he too had a scowl on his face. Iruka then turned his attention to me and then had a look of confusion. "And what are you doing here, Drake?"

"Naruto and I were given the scroll by the Hokage and told to bring it here." I said with a straight face and serious look in my eyes.

"Why would the Hokage give you the scroll?" Questioned the nose scared academy instructor. As I was about to answer him I started to hear a very bad sound. It was the sound of cold steel whirling and cutting through the air and it was getting closer fast. As the sound left the tree line, I dove and pushed Iruka out of the way of the sounds as we landed on to the ground.

"THUNK!"

Iruka and I both looked at where the sound had ended. To Iruka's shock and my knowledge we found a large fūma shuriken lodged in a tree behind us. We turned our heads to see where the death star had originated from. Then an apparition was able to be seen coming out of the tree line. It was Mizuki, wearing his Chunin gear of a green flak jacket, dark blue pants and long sleeved shirt, finished with his forehead protector covering his white hair. He had a smirk on his face that just screamed arrogance and overconfidence. His eyes had a hint of craziness in then that told me that he was probably willing to do anything to accomplish his goals.

"Well what do you know? I missed. Oh well, you'll die soon enough, but first. Naruto give me the scroll, now!" Said Mizuki as he held out his hand. Naruto clutched the scroll tighter as he glared at his ex-teacher.

"No way Mizuki-teme! I know there is no make-up test and I won't let you have this scroll!" Shouted Naruto angrily at the man he thought he could trust as much as Iruka. His knuckles became white as he clutched the scroll even more. Mizuki frowned at first but then he smiled. Then he began to chuckle. And then he began to laugh. Naruto and Iruka looked in confusion to what he was laughing at.

"Fine, fine Naruto don't give me the scroll, but don't you want to know why the village hates you?" Questioned Mizuki as his sights settled on Naruto with a devilish smile. Iruka's eyes widened at this statement and desperately looked at Naruto. Naruto gave a look that held many emotions. Confusion, sadness, anger, loneliness, sorrow, and fear. "NO MIZUKI!" Screamed Iruka in a desperate tone of voice. "You can't speak of it. It's forbidden."

Before Iruka could say more a sickening sound came from his shoulder and knee. Unfortunately for Iruka he had closed his eyes when he said 'It's forbidden' and in that short time Mizuki had thrown two kunai at him and they had found their mark. The knives were buried hilt deep into Iruka's right shoulder and left leg just above his knee cap. Iruka struggled to sit up as blood started to slowly leak from his wound, soaking into his clothes.

"Shut up Iruka." Said Mizuki looking discussed at his former teaching partner. "Now Naruto, where were we? Oh yes, I was about to tell you why all the village hates your guts." Naruto couldn't do anything other than be frozen in place. He looked sick at the sight of the kunai in his teacher's body. His gaze went back to Mizuki as he brought back the topic from earlier.

"You see Naruto, it all started twelve years ago. It was the day that the Kyūbi no Yōko (Nine Tailed Fox) attacked the village. It was a massacre, hundreds of our ninja force were slaughter by the monster. It wasn't until the Yondaime Hokage was able to defeat the beast by sealing it into something at the cost of his own life. And guess what the thing was." Finished Mizuki looking even more crazed at the look that was on Naruto's face. Naruto looked absolutely in utter shock at what he had heard. His eyes blank and void of all feeling. His body was completely limp and unmoving, almost as if he were dead. Mizuki took this chance to take another of his fūma shuriken from his back. He spun the metal star in his hand ready for launch.

"That's right Naruto. That something was you. You had the Kyūbi sealed within you and that makes you the monster that mother frighten their children with, the creature that killed hundreds of innocent people, and the demon that is the scourge of this village. You're even the one who killed Iruka's parents. No wonder he hates you." As Mizuki came to the end of his speech, Naruto had not moved or done anything other than listen. Seeing the blond hadn't moved, Mizuki wicked grin grew as he took aim. "Now to finish what the Yondaime started. DIE DEMON! "

Mizuki let loose his deadly weapon with an audible grunt of effort. The shuriken flew at the unmoving Naruto; who was to shocked to do anything. Just as the shuriken was thrown, Iruka had removed the kunai and ran toward Naruto with all his might. He made it to Naruto just a few seconds before the fūma shuriken could cut him down. He grabbed Naruto and positioned himself between him and the flight of the metal star and waited for it to hit him. He waited a few seconds and found that he was not in any more pain. There was no tearing of clothes, shredding of flesh, or cracking of bone. Iruka turned to see what had happened to the metal star of death. As he turned around, he could not believe what he was looking at. The shuriken was now laying on the ground, completely still and somewhat harmless. In front of the shuriken there I stood with a single kunai in a reverse grip guard. I had rushed in and deflect the instrument of death in order spare Iruka a higher chance of dying. I stared at Mizuki with a look of blood lust in my eyes and smile as I put away my knife away.

"Hey Mizuki, how's that arm of your?" I asked as I readjusted my gloves. He frowned at the mention of his defeat at my hands hours earlier. He grabbed his left arm and rubbed it a little to settle the pain. "Hmm, it looks like it still hurts. But just to let you know, that won't be your only pain tonight. Since you have committed treason against Konohagakure, we now have the responsibility to bring you in."

"Hahahahaha!" Laughed Mizuki. "You really think that you and the demon brat can take me on? You may have caught me off guard at the test but I'm ready for you know."

"He not a demon, you worthless moron." Mizuki stopped abruptly as the words left my mouth. "If he was the demon that you and most of the people in the village make him out to be then he would have probably killed all of you off by now, but he hasn't. That's because not a single one of you know a thing about Fuinjutsu. Do you really not trust the Yondaime enough to trust him and his sealing ability? Sheesh, it's honestly amazing how one of the other hidden villages haven't stomped all over us yet. I mean Kumo literally has two jinchuuriki and they are treated way better than him. And do you know what it wouldn't matter what you have to say after this you piece of crap. Do you know why? It's because me and Naruto are going to beat you into the dirt right here right now." After my long speech on the major problems that the village was currently facing came to an end, Naruto had gave the scroll to Iruka and walked over to my side.

"Hahahahaha," laughed Mizuki at the sight of fresh genin and a flunky student standing ready to fight him. "If you really think that the two of you can take me on, then you're more delusional than the Hokage from keeping that demon alive. It actually pretty funny now that I think about it."

"He is not a demon, Mizuki!" Exclaimed Iruka as he leaned on the scroll to support his weight. "He is Uzumaki Naruto, the Number One Show off Unpredictable Noisy Ninja, and he will be Hokage someday." As Iruka finished his speech, he looked at Naruto with a warm smile. "I'm sorry Naruto, I did hate you at one point. But then I saw past my hatred for the good and finally looked at who you are. I see so much of myself when I look at you, because I also was the class clown at the Academy. I desired attention because of my parents death and that what you wanted too. Now I see you fit who you are and your note like my little brother." Naruto could only look at Iruka with a smile and tear up a little at the kind words his teacher told him.

"Well this won't matter at all. Once I kill all of you and take that scroll, I'm going to be more powerful than anyone from Konoha." Sneered Mizuki effectively ruining the moment. To which Naruto and I turned and glared at the traitor with violent intent.

"Well that would be great for you if you were going to win tonight. However, you're not getting anything other than a beat down and a permanent residence in jail. That is if we don't kill you in steady." I said getting into the same ready stance I was in for my first fight with Mizuki. Naruto also got ready with his very own brawler style stance with fist raised and one foot in front of the other bending at the knees. We were set as we waited for Mizuki to make his move.

Mizuki simply smirked as he took out a kunai from the holster strapped to his thigh. He rushed at both Naruto and I with great speed fully intent on killing us. But as he got halfway to us something caused him to stop. As he was stopped however; the rest of his body kept moving and slam right into the ground. As Naruto and i shared a chuckle at the witnessing of Mizuki's face plant, Mizuki himself looked at what had caused his new pain. He looked to see that his feet seemed to be stuck in place and he couldn't move them. He looked closer to see that there was ninja wire wrapped around his ankles that had then anchored itself into the ground. He followed the wire as best he could to where it originated from. The wire lead him back to me which confused him. I saw how confused he was and choose to help him understand. I raised my right hand to show that the wire were coming from my gloves. After showing the traitor hire her was caught, I raised my other hand and with five small puffs of smoke from each of my fingers more wire came into view. Thrusting my hand out toward Mizuki the wire shoot forward at lightning speed and wrapped around him until he looked more like a mummy with only his face viable.

"HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?" Shouted Mizuki as he struggled to escape his steel bindings. At this sight, Naruto couldn't help but fall over laughing at the utter misery of our capti and even Iruka have a small chuckle.

"Fine, I'll explain it to you since you obviously don't understand." I said to Mizuki with a tone that was obviously insulting to him. "When we first challenged you earlier and you just laughed at us, I was already laying my trap for you. You see these gloves of mine have a very special secret in them. On the fingertip I'm put a storage seal and filled them with hundreds of feet of ninja wire. Don't ask me how I was able to get the seals so small, let's just say it was complicated. However, as you were talking and Iruka's speech I released some of the wire and had using chakra to guide it to right where you are now. As soon as you stepped on the wire I had it wrap up and here we are." Mizuki could only growl in frustration at the entire situation. He continued to struggle against his restraints with no success whatsoever. Seeing this I thought we should end this before something else happened. With a simple flick of my wrist Mizuki's mummy wraps tightened to the point that he was having trouble breathing. He grunted in pain at the pressure exerted on this chest cavity. After he had recovered laughing Naruto then looked kind of upset for some reason.

"Hey Naruto what's wrong?" I asked hoping to know why my friend looked unhappy.

"Oh, it's just that I didn't get the chance to complete the jutsu we were working on before Iruka-sensei interrupted our training. I really wanted to get it right."

"Ha, like you could actually learn any of the jutsus in that scroll you failure." Said Mizuki in a strained voice from the lack of air. Both Naruto and I looked at Mizuki angrily and then I had an idea.

"It's okay Naruto, you can try it right now and we have a willing target to try it out on." As I said this Naruto perked up with Iruka raising an eyebrow in confusion. With a thousand megawatt smile on his face, Naruto place his hands in the hand seals necessary for the technique he wanted to perform. Iruka and Mizuki's eyes widened at the sight of the hand seals being formed in the knowledge of which jutsu he was about to perform. Naruto again molded his chakra and inhaled deeply.

"Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique)."

A massive cloud of smoke field the small clearing blinding all in the vicinity. Add the cloud began to clear it became apparent that there weren't just four people there anymore. To Iruka's and Mizuki's shock there were now an innumerable amount of Naruto clones littering the entire open area. There were clones in the trees, on top of the house, and ones that weren't even in the clearing anymore. I knew he could do it. As the shock of this action subsided for the teacher and traitor, Iruka's emotions were replaced with pride for his student while Mizuki felt mostly fear. With a unified roar all the Naruto clones charged the mummified Mizuki with fists raised. In the minutes to follow, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of hundreds of Naruto clones laughing and having the time of their lives with the painful shouts of Mizuki as he got pummeled into unconsciousness. As the best down came to a close, Naruto dispelled all his clones in one more massive puff of white smoke. There Mizuki lay still wrapped up in steel wire with his face and we could on assume his body covered with large welts and bruises. Seeing the work was done, I set a small burst of chakra through the wire unraveling it from the unconscious mess and drew the wire back into my gloves. Naruto and I then high fived at the awesome work we accomplished and the success of completing the Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique). Iruka chuckled at us celebrating and Naruto bragging about how incredible he was.

"Hey Naruto, come here for a minute. I've got something for you." Said Iruka still propping himself up with the massive sealing scroll. Naruto turned his head in confusion as he started toward his sensei. Standing before Iruka and he was told to close his eyes. After a few seconds Iruka told Naruto to reopen his eyes to see what Iruka had given him. Upon Naruto's head was his forehead protector.

"This is mine but I've got an extra one back at my house. However, I give this one to you as a sign that you have past the graduation test and have become a shinobi. Congratulations." Said Iruka to his favorite student. Naruto was completely astonished by this with his mouth hang to the ground. After a couple of moments, Naruto returned to normal behavior of jumping up and down and yelling at the top of his head for joy at this revelation. After he calmed down we all choose to head on back to Konoha with our newly wrapped up captive.

Well that was the twelfth chapter of "The Weird Shinobi". Hope you liked it and we are now going to be getting into the more fun parts of Narutos story. I hope you all will enjoy what I have coming up in this adventure. Also I will be posting the first chapters of my "One Piece" and "Bleach" fan fictions soon as well.

Mors Draco out. Peace.
