"KILL"
. . .
The sky was a lovely overcast weather. There was sunlight, but the sun was nowhere to be seen. The temperature was perfect too. Not too hot, not too cold. There was a nice breeze of wind too. The whole village was lively too. Kids were running around having fun, shop keepers were managing stalls, shinobi drinking, hanging out, or just chilling together.
"Ahhhh, what a lovely day..." said Iruka as he casually walked down the street passing various stands. He saw a team of gennin chasing after a cat. "Hmm, graduations, I almost forgot..." He looked up at the sky as he walked and thought about his students, the ones who stood out most.
"Hmmm, Sasuke... he seems like the typical introverted Emo kind of kid who only talks to one or two people. The kind of kid which causes all girls in a 2 mile radius to crave for his his Orange juice (That vitamin D). Shikamaru, the smartest brightest kid in the class. His only setback is that he is lazy. He's okay at interacting with regular kids. Ino, want's the vitamin D, rival to Sakura. thinks she's the shit. Sakura, just like Ino, but doesn't think she's the shit, and I'd say her annoying side stands out the most, even above Mrs. Fangirl Ino, but hey that's just me."
He walks over to the BBQ shop to grab his pakage. "Choji the kid who talks to only a few people, and likes to eat. Hates when someone calls him fat. Kiba, thinks he is the shit, and not gonna lie, he's above average when it comes to fighting techiniques, well, for his age I mean. Shino, loves bugs, quiet and introverted. Good kid, respectable. I can imagine him taking my place as a teacher one day"
He suddenly started bursting out laughing. "Hahahaha, like that would happen!" The people around him looked at him like he was crazy.
"Mommy, why is that brown pineapple hair man laughing?"
"Sweety, you shouldn't make fun out of weird people, even if they are... weird..."
Upon hearing this exchange between mother and son, Iruka slumped his shoulders. He felt self concious and shy. He quickly sped his pace up and walked away. "Well, that was embarassing. But honestly, I can imagine Shino being a teacher, but it seems so funny at the same time. Oh speaking of introverts... Hinata... shy, wonderful, sweet little girl. Main branch of the Hyuga family. The only person to not want Sasuke's sausage. She likes him..."
Iruka suddenly bumped into Kurenai as he walked, and fell down on the ground. "Ow... Are you okay lady?"
"Huh? I should be asking you that. You are the one who fell from that nudge." Asked Kurenai in a tone of concern.
Asuma Sarutobi who was walking alongside her said in a laughing manner "Oh boy, getting drunk in the morning huh...?"
"WAHT?! IM NOT DWUNK!" Iruka felt offended. Accusing him of being drunk? Then he realized that Asuma was there with Kurenai. "Oh Asuma! How high are you?"
Asuma sighed facepalming his forehead as Kurenai laughed at the overused meme. Asuma couldn't hide the amusement in his voice but he still tried to. "Oh boy, you are wasted. It's hi how are you... you know where you are going?"
Iruka smirked as he climber a stone near him, and did the legendary Jiraya pose. "YUP! IM HEADING OFF INTO THE SUNSET!"
Asuna chuckled "Alright dude, just stay safe. You should head back home for the day. Graduations are tomorrow. Besides, you shouldn't drink, it'll set a bad example for your students."
"MY STUDENTS?! THEY ARE THE REASON!" Then he realized he was cocbloc- interrupting Asuma and Kurenai. "Oohhhh, I C... I'm just gonna walk away."
Iruka started to walk away from the couple and he thought "Hmm, where was I... Oh right Hinata..." as he started walking he gazed upon the Hokage faces... majestically.
His blood suddenly drained from his face "I don't get why... she... would like... NARUTOOOO!" He ran towards the hokage building and saw Kakashi Hatake just walking by.
"Yo Iruka, why in such a rush?"
"LOOK AT THE HOKAGE FACES! NARUTO IS BACK AT IT AGAIN!"
Kakashi turned around and saw:
. . . . .
1st hokage statue: OH LOOK AT ME! IM HASHIRAMA SENJU! THE 1ST HOKAGE! IM AWESOME! I CAN DO WOOD STYLE! GREATEST OF THE HOKAGES! OH NO, I'M DEPRESSED NOW! BOOHOOO!
2nd hokage statue: MODAFUKA 4TH HOKAGE COPIED MY GODDAMN JUTSU! IM PISSED! HE'S ALSO BETTER THAN ME AT IT! LIFE AIN'T FAIR! I AM THE 1ST'S BROTHER! I DEMAND MORE RESPECT!
3rd hokage: UGH... I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS... FUCKIN 4TH HOKAGE DIED TOO EARLY BEING A HERO AND ALL... I NEED COFFEE NOW! WHERE MY MIRROR AT- OH LOOK, ANOTHER WRINKLE!
4th hokage: DON'T MIND ME, JUST THE MOST BADASS OF THE HOKAGES HERE! MIGHT NOT BE AS STRONG AS THE 1ST BUT TELL ME THIS, CAN HE MAKE WEARING A COAT EPIC?! NOPE!
. . . . .
Kakashi started bursting out laughing which was completely out of character for him. "Iruka good luck with him! I swear, I don't know how, but he gets a good caption everytime! Like last time it was like a real convo. The 2nd's face said 'I'm the strongest', the 4th's face said 'Tell me how I can do everything you can, but better...?' the 3rd simply said nothing with ' . . . ', and the 1st said 'Boi, call me daddy! Show some respect or square up' You gotta admit Iruka that was good."
"I mean, you aren't wrong, but- wait why am I here again...?" Iruka asked forgetting why he was running towards the Hokage faces.
Kakashi sighed and cast the hand seal ram and basically released Iruka out of his drunken stupor after tapping him.
"Wait what?" asked the lost Iruka. All Kakashi did was point at the Statue to cause him to yell, "NAAAAARUUUUUTOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!" and he ran towards it.
"You will NEVER catch me Iruka sensei!" said a blond haired kid running climbing buildings, juking Iruka out.
"Goddamn, that kid will be great at stealing intel. They wont notice him till the end, and when they do, they can't catch up to him. DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT ITS A PAIN IN THE ASS!"
Naruto did a flip midair and threw a couple rocks at Iruka to shake him off. It was only a temporary counter measure, and when Iruka got close enough, Naruto threw Sand in his eyes.
"I wonder why I didn't think of using this against pain!" He yelled as he ran away.
The next hour, Iruka caught the kid trying to run away from him. For some reason, Naruto accidentally tripped on nothing, almost as though it was on purpose. Iruka after giving Naruto a lecture on why he shouldn't write on the Hokage faces, forced him to clean up the Hokage faces.
. . . (Naruto, 3rd person POV) . . .
Naruto started to clean up the Hokage faces with a big smile on his face. He remembered his sensei having a conversation before the first time around when he pranked him in his real time line. He was doing it happily. Until he remembered...
I'M NOT FROM THIS TIMELINE
Naruto put his hand to his chest and clenched it real tight. His face was overwhelmed with pure sadness. He started to tear up. He remembered the dead bodies of Hinata, the only person who ever loved him in a romantic kind of way. Sakura, his best female friend since his gennin days, also his crush.
Then he remembered Kakashi-sensei, the man who looked after him after becoming a gennin, and many, many, many more. He remember his dad, Kakashi's sensei, the late 4th hokage, savior of the leaf, but more importantly, the man who had given up his life for his future.
He remembered his Pervy sage... all the guidance he received from him... All the paternal love... all the care... his godfather, they truely treasured each other. He remembered Asuma, the man he reached out towards for guidance. He remember Yamato, his sensei who came through when he needed it whenever possible.
He remembered all the friends and family who had sacrificed their lives for his sake... He remembered all the shinobi who had fallen for the war effort, and to protect him... He felt so sad. So very, very, very sad... All these death were for his sake.
He remembered what he told the 5th hokage and the 4th Raikage. He told them he doesn't want to live in a world where it's only him who would survive. Naruto had started to cry as thinking back to the days he really cherished as he cleaned the stone faces.
. . . (Iruka, 3rd person POV) . . .
Iruka noticed the droplets, and felt his heart sink. Why is Naruto... Why is Naruto crying...? Why... Why do I feel so... sad...? NO! I DON'T CARE FOR HIM! I DON'T! HE IS THE REASON MY MOM AND DAD ARE DEAD! NO STOP! You are his homeroom teacher! You are supposed to care for him... But all obligations aside, I don't like him... So why...? Just... why...? Why do I feel so much pain and sadness...? I despise his existence yet... Is it really out of obligation I feel so...
Suddenly a warm gentle light appeared right behind him put a hand on his shoulder.
"Please... take care of my little brother..."
He turned around slowly. It felt so familiar. He knew for a fact the thing behind him was nothing harmful. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
It was almost as though he was looking at his future self. It was identical to him except he looked a little tiny bit older. Then it vanished into Iruka's body, more specifically, his heart.
He placed his hand on his heart. It was beating so fast, he felt as though it would pop right out of his chest. "Who... was that...?" Iruka muttered quietly enough for no one to hear him. He glanced over at Naruto's direction.
Naruto made eye contact and realized he was crying. He wiped his tears as he said in a shaky voice "Sorry Iruka sensei, I got some paint in my eyes." He cleared his voice and put up a fake front. He joyfully said "All better now!"
"Yeah, that's the spirit..." Iruka said with a gentle warm smile on his face.
Iruka: I know that's a lie... But... I see him trying... Wait a sec?! Naruto seem more mature...? Don't tell me he is... No way... It can't be... I bet he isn't as weak and stupid as he acts! He really just wants attention... He has no mother, no father, no family at all... He is... just like how I was as a kid... I used to act like a class clown just like him
"Naruto, wanna go grab a bit with me? Ichiraku. My treat." Iruka couldn't help himself. It was as though that light was kindness, and symphity incarnate. After that light appeared, it seemed as though his whole view on Naruto changed.
It made him feel a way never ever felt this way towards Naruto. It was almost as though it was a mixture of sympathy, pity, kindness, and brotherly-love...
"Naruto... I just wanna let you know... If there is anything wrong, tell me about it... I'm willing to listen to you..."
"Oh no no no, don't worry about me, I'm not depressed or anythin! I'm not even sad about the future!"
Iruka raised an Eyebrow and muttered under his breath, "Poor Naruto... He really is depressed... he's worried he might not live to see tomorrow..."
He made eye contact with Naruto. "Naruto. Will you let me..." his voice faltered half way when he looked at Naruto's eyes. Naruto was lost in his own set of thought. He wasn't even paying attention. Naruto's eyes were dark and hollow.
Naruto: Can't let anyone else know about the future... Shisui and Shikamaru's dad are enough. Shisui... I wonder what you are up to now...?
FLASHBACK TO AFTER NARUTO BECAME FRIENDS WITH KURAMA AGAIN
Back over in the cave, Shisui told Naruto "So... if everything goes on as you had said, that would mean that if I show up in the middle of the war, and no one knows about me being alive other than Izumi, you and your firends, it will seriously throw a wrench in this Kabuto and Tobi's plan."
Naruto asked "Wait what do you mean-"
"What I'm saying is Izumi knows to stay quiet about me. Only you 4 know about me being alive, and that Tobi guy too I guess. I'll just dissappear into the darkness, somewhere out in the world. That way, my memory fades slowly, and he will not thing about a counter measure of me just joining the fray."
"Are you sure Shisui...? It's gonna be pretty boring..."
"Yes, it's for the greater good. I'll find myself something to occupy myself with time to time. Besides, looking at that Tobi guy gave me a hint. What if I use a mask too? Hehe, I'll look soooo cool! Anyways... This is for the best. When I think I'm needed I will drop in... so then... till later... Peace out..."
"Yeah bro... bye, see ya later..."
Shisui formed the seal Tiger and body flickered away.
. . . FLASHBACK END & Time Skip to the next morning . . .
"Naruto Uzumaki, please come forth!" Iruka sensei asked wearily. It was finally the day of graduation. If everything goes according to plan, Mizuki would convince Naruto to steal the scroll, and after that happens, Naruto would learn the shadow clone jutsu and come back.
Naruto performed the corresponding hand seal. Mizuki let out a smug smile, as Iruka leaned forward. Was Naruto serious...?
Naruto legitamately found it funny how he never performed the Clone jutsu. He never really thought about it before, but because he learned the advanced shadow clone before the Basic regular clone, he never practiced it before. So basically, he can do the harder one no sweat but the easier one is posing a challenge for him for no reason.
Naruto gulped. He decided to actually try and attempt the clone jutsu.
"Uhhh... Naruto... you gotta take this more seriously... you failed again... Sorry, but you NEED to know the basics first..." Iruka said to Naruto in an angry voice. There was also a tinge of other tones too. There was doubt and worry. Naruto could tell he was still worrying about what they talked about the previous night
After a secret smrik to Iruka, he exclaimed"What?! NOT AGAIN!" He went into his slump and casually walked over to his swing, the same one which he always used to go to. He just sat down and stared at the crowd of students lined up. Naruto tried to block out the sound as they dissed him thinking he can't hear them
Yeah yeah yeah, keep talking shit, one day, I'ma be not only the village savior, I'll also be the hokage! Then you will start sucking up to me... hmph...
Naruto had dealt with these kinds of people before. He remembered waaaay back, when he was 5 years old, he was simply walking down the street, and then a genin shot a kunai right at his shoulder. The kid said "Sorry, I thought the monster was rampaging again... hehehe..."
11 years later, after pain's attack, he walked down and right after the man saw him, he said "Hey remember me, 11 years ago you were attacked and I defended you from those bullies?!" Naruto was pissed, but since his policy was to end the cycle of hatred, he decided to not say anything.
He looked at his right and he saw the same man with white silky hair. "Mizuki...?"
. . . TIME SKIP LATER THAT NIGHT . . .
"The Jinchuriki stole the scroll!"
"This goes waaayyyy beyond any pranks! This is serious!"
"LORD HOKAGE! WE MUST TAKE ACTION!"
"Give us the word, and we will eliminate the target!"
A bunch of random Chunins and Jonins were suggesting to kill Naruto, and all Iruka could do was watch from the sidelines. No... Naruto... He has to have a good reason... From our talk last night at the Ramen shop... I could tell... he has matured...
"Lord Hokage!" Iruka said without thinking.
The 3rd Hokage looked at Iruka and Iruka thought 'Wow, he really did grow another wrinkle, is Naruto from the future or a psychic or what?'He shrugged the thought out of his mind when the hokage asked for his input.
"I believe there has to be a reason for his action! Last night, I was at the ramen shop with him! I talked with him and I realized... Not only is he smarter than he looks, but he is also incredibly mature... All he want's is attention."
Suddenly a random guy in the back of the crowd started singing "You just want attention, you don't want my heart! Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new! Yeah, you just want attention, I knew from the start! You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you. OOO-oo-hh- "
"STFU CARL! THIS IS SERIOUS!" Iruka interrupted the unkown singer as he was trying to capatilize on the opportunity to create some humor.
Mizuki asked him "You say he has matured right? How would you explain this?! Also, how would you know if he really has matured and it wasn't just an act?!"
"I am his Homeroom teacher, I know him better than almost everyone. As for the explaination..." he looked the Hiruzen Sarutobi. "Lord 3rd, please, don't kill him... Just capture and questioning... Please...!" He prostated himself to the village leader.
"Stand, rise Iruka... You have more than proved your worth as his teacher... It wasn't my intention to kill him from the very start."
"THANK YOU!" Iruka prostated again, this time, his head hitting the ground so hard it started bleeding a little. "Now if you will excuse me lord hokage, I have to search for my beloved student..."
. . . (Naruto, 3rd person POV) . . .
"Sweet... I bet dad would be proud of me... I picked up a couple new techniques! I feel like I improved the chances of the success for the future by a good 10%" Naruto said with a grin on his face.
Suddenly, the bushes around him started rumbling. Naruto already knew who it was. He stood up, and without even looking back, or waiting for him to appear out of the bushes he said, "Took you long enough Mizuki Sensei... Let me guess you want the scroll for yourself?"
He appeared out of the bush and said "H-Hey what do you mean? I want you to gradu-"
"Enough BS, just try killin me already. I know your plan. Take the scroll, kill me, the usual."
Naruto entered sage mode and tried sensing where Iruka was. This time around, he came faster than he had expected. The second Iruka sensei got close, he heard,
"So... you knew about my great master plan?" Upon hearing that, Iruka hid behind a tree. "Heh... Yes you are correct, I was just using you... I wanted it all for myself... Now... wanna give me that scroll so I can carry on? Or would you prefer dying first? Maybe if you beg I might spare you..."
Naruto couldn't hold back his laughter any longer. "Iruka sensei, no point hiding behind that tree now. You have your proof that he is evil..."
"Naruto..."
. . . (Mini flashback to the day before at night) . . .
"So, Iruka sensei... Mizuki sensei told me if I steal the scroll of sealing, I can be promoted to a genin from the get-go." said Naruto as he munched down his 4th bowl.
Poor Iruka who was looking at his wallet looked up frantically and said "NARUTO! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! He knows thats a crime!"
"Iruka sensei, trust me on this... I could pass tomorrow easily, but he'll try baiting me. If he meets me afterschool, you know I'm right."
"What if he's just comforting you huh?"
"Then you can get to me first. Kill me before I can do anything."
. . . (Flashback End) . . .
"I never imagined you'd have been right... Mizuki... Why?!" Iruka asked feeling betrayed.
Before Mizuki could even answer Naruto decided that he should kick his ass before he starts up the monologing.
"Let's get this over with Mizuki! Iruka-sensei! Ready to pass me from the academy? I'm gonna show you my proof of my abilities."
Naruto rushed at Mizuki at incredible speed. Mizuki barely had any time to react. Naruto went straight into Taijutsu. Mizuki who was carrying 2 big oversized shurikens. Naruto after countering and launching punches realized that he wont get anywhere because his young body isn't accosomed to taijutsu yet. He gave Mizuki a quick sweep. He quickly gave Mizuki a quick palm strike and stepped back.
"Ready to pass me?"
Iruka sensei has in awe of Naruto's skills. Incredible! Those are chunnin level moves right there! He got Mizuki on the ropes too! He is like a goddamn prodigy! Naruto... Yeah... I have decided...
"Mizuki, I see you are having trouble dealing with just one of me. How bout you deal with 50 of me. I was gonna go with a 1000, but then I realized that for a plebian like you, I alone should be enough. But, I like to show off at times. Not as much as the duck-faced-emo but yeah, I still do. Ready? Mizuki?"
Mizuki only smirked as he said "You keep asking if I'm ready. So why don't you stop barking and try biting?"
"You just sealed your fate... Shadow clone jutsu!"
The two of them were in complete awe. The two yelled in unison "NO WAY! THE SHADOW CLONE! HE MASTERED IT!?"
The 50 Naruto gave a simple smile. "Ready Mizuki? I call this move..."
Naruto vanished and appeared literally right infront of Mizuki. "Naruto blitz barrage!"
Literally one by one, all clones vanished and attacked Mizuki one by one and dissappeared. 20 seconds in, his condition was worse than the canon version.
Iruka was speechless. "HOW... DID YOU...!?"
"So um... first off, I already knew the Shadow clone. Second, the vanishing one... that was the teleportation jutsu..."
Iruka's expression was priceless. "W-W-W-W-W-W-WHATTTTTTTT!"
Naruto explained "So I was getting bored and thought I'd take a peak. I thought since it has the 2nd hokage's jutsus in it, it should have the teleportation jutsu. I thought since both the 2nd and 4th hokage had it, I could try learning it too. It's like I'm following the 2 hokage's footsteps in a way almost..."
Iruka asked in a shaky voice. "S-So that's it right...? That's all you learned...?"
"Yeah, I honestly!" Naruto knew he was lying. Iruka however didn't. Not only did Naruto learn the flying raijin, but he also found out how to reverse the Reanimation technique, and also found 2 keys. One was the key to opening Kurama's seal, and the other was a free pass to break the 4th wall once (Take that you goddamn haters of the 4th wall! Yeah... prolly gonna regret this. Drunk on lack of sleep).
"So Iruka sensei, wanna head back?"
"Yeah but first things first, well, two things."
Naruto prepared himself. He knew what was to come. He was being promoted. But the second thing... Nothing could have prepared him for that...
"Naruto, congratulations on becoming a genning!" Iruka smiled warmly as he handed over his headband to Naruto.
"And the second thing Naruto... Is a personal request, a little selfish of me, but you might like it... hopefully..." Iruka looked at the ground. His expression looked borderline glum.
"Would you be interested in letting me be your guardian...? I- I know it's a lot to ask..."
Naruto was speechless. He couldn't even from thoughts. He literally never imagined anything like this ever happening. The man who he was planning on acting as his father on his wedding day decided to legally become his guardian! Naruto was overjoyed, but it appeared in the form of a lot of snot and tears.
"Yes! I- I am!" Naruto cried the rest of the way back. I can't wait till I tell Shikamaru, and Sasuke! Suddenly a yellow flash went by Naruto. Naruto recognized the man immediately.
"My son... no matter where you go, know you aren't alone..."
. . . . . . . . . . .
Yayyyy done now! So yeah, there were 2 song refrences in this. Yeah, I'm terrible. Tomorrow morning if I re-read this, I'm be so terribly embarassed. FFS! IM LEGIT HIGH/DRUNK ON LACK OF SLEEP! ONLY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IS WHEN I EAT TOO MUCH CANDY!
So, I apologize if this went shit midway. I can tell it was going really good until the Exam or the flashback. I know this whole chapter was like episode 1, and I promise not to make it like that forever! I'm probably gonna be summarizing an arc in like 2-3 chapters (Zabuza for example.) Arc's I really enjoyed like the chunnin exam, I'll extend that to more than that tho. SO ANYWAYS! BEFORE I WRITE MORE BS! IM HEADING TO BED! 4:29am! I luv torturing me lel. Take care!
Also... shit forgot... oh right yeah! Dozed off for a sec. So basically. I know there are things missing in this chapter, such as Itachi, Sasuke's reaction to the news, and Naruto and Sasuke finding about Shikamaru's dad finding about them being from the future. SO YEAH! I DIDN'T MESS UP AND NOT INCLUDE IT! More than likely it's gonna be given out in flashbacks or in dialogs. 4:31, till later, peace out, good nigh- well, um, early early morning! : )
OH 2 MORE THINGS!
First off, Merry christmas!
Second, at 50k views, and 10,000 votes, I'm doing a face or body reveal kinda thing. Might or might not show my face. Depends on if it's terribly ugly or just regularly ugly. Hopefully when I come to my senses, I don't go like "Me and my stupid ass... This was a terrible idea..."
ANOTHER THING! Lemme know if the soundtracks I plug in are just extra, and you don't want it or not too! CIAO
