I walked out of the academy and was about to leave when I heard something that piqued my interest.

"Neh, Naruto I have another way you could become genin. You could take the secret test. What you have to do is steal the sacred scroll of sealing, and learn one jutsu from it. Ok?"

"Ok, Mizuki Sensei!" Naruto cheered. Naruto then ran off, probably to figure out how to steal the scroll. I gave a death stare to Mizuki's back, who then shivered.

Mizuki turned around and saw me, and froze. I narrowed my eyes and shunsined away.

I arrived outside of the Hokage's office. I knocked politely and entered after hearing "come in."

"Lord Hokage, I passed the test, but I heard a suspicious conversation between one of the instructors, Mizuki, and a student, Naruto Uzumaki."

"Very well, tell me what was exchanged." He spoke

"Mizuki came up to Naruto under the guise of a comforting sensei and told Naruto of a "secret test" that could help Naruto pass. Unfortunately, Naruto fell for the ruse. Mizuki told him that the test was to steal the scroll of sealing, and learn one jutsu from it." I told.

"I see, I will be prepared for Naruto to steal it. I will have shinobi ready for the confrontation." the Hokage spoke.

I nodded and left.

Later that day, I was heading toward a hotel when out of the corner of my eye, I saw a kid in an orange jumpsuit that screamed kill me running past carrying a scroll.

Knowing what was going to happen, I ran quietly after him. We eventually got into the forest just outside of Konoha. Naruto sat in a clearing and started to read.

Curious, I decided to put Naruto to sleep with a sleeping poison. I watched Naruto fall to the ground asleep. Acting quickly I copied a few jutsu down, I copied down, the Rasengan, the flying Raijin jutsu, the blood clone, and the bringer of darkness.

Sealing away the real scroll of sealing, and the scroll with the copied jutsu, I made a shadow clone transform into the scroll of sealing. I jumped back into the trees and watched again. Naruto woke up soon. I decided to teach him the shadow clone technique so that he could say he learned a jutsu from the scroll. Since the "scroll" was blank.

I appeared in front of Naruto. "Naruto, listen closely," I spoke

Naruto nodded. "Mizuki has tricked you, there is no special exam. He wants the scroll for himself. I will teach you a jutsu from the scroll since the one in your hands is a fake. When Mizuki comes, pretend it's the real thing and give it to him. Ok?" I explained. Naruto nodded.

Within the next two hours, Naruto had mastered the jutsu. I rehid myself in the trees and sat in wait.

After another hour Mizuki came along. "Naruto, have you learned jutsu yet?"

"Yeah sensei, I learned the shadow clone jutsu," Naruto responded.

"NARUTO! There you are! Why did you steal the scroll of sealing?" Iruka asked.

I grit my teeth in irritation. This was an unexpected variable.

"What?" Naruto then points at Mizuki, "Mizuki Sensei told me that this was the secret exam."

"Mi-Mizuki?" Iruka asked. Mizuki grits his teeth. "Naruto give me the scroll."

Naruto began to back away. Iruka, confused at first, didn't do anything. Suddenly it clicked, "Naruto, don't give him the scroll." Iruka yelled.

Mizuki then threw multiple shuriken and kunai at Naruto. Iruka ran to block them and used his body to shield Naruto as he ran away from the thrown objects. Iruka then layed on the ground coughing up blood.

"Iruka, why do you defend him? You hate him as much as I do." Mizuki stated. Naruto looked at Iruka confused. "What? No-no that's not true. I don't-." Iruka spoke but was interrupted. "After all, he did kill your parents." Mizuki continued.

Iruka said, "No, it wasn't him."

"Don't lie to the boy. Naruto, do you want to know something? The reason why the villagers glare at you?" Mizuki asked.

"Mizuki," Iruka warned.

"Why they tell their children to not play with you? Why they despise you? Why they HATE you?"

"Mizuki, don't say it, it's treason if you say it," Iruka yelled. Meanwhile, Naruto had wide eyes.

"Well, it's because the night you were born the Kyuubi attacked. The fourth Hokage died fighting it. Most people don't know this but the Kyuubi is also known as a bijuu. They can't be killed, only sealed. It was sealed inside of you. The villagers hate you because yoU are the KYUUBI! DIE!" Mizuki yelled, throwing a kunai at the fear-stricken wide-eyed boy. The kunai was closing in, Iruka blocked it once more.

Mizuki grabbed the scroll and ran.

I knew Naruto and Iruka would be okay. I went after Mizuki. I ran through the trees keeping track of the traitor. We arrived at another clearing. I saw Mizuki catching his breath. I dropped from the trees on the opposite side of the clearing. Mizuki noticed me a few moments later. He fell to the ground scared.

Mizuki POV

I crouched down next to the stream. I quickly gulped down some water, catching my breath. I heard a soft crunch from the other side of the clearing. I turned around and fell back onto the ground. In front of me was a six-foot-three-inch tall figure with a horned demon mask. The figure covered in darkness and the moonlight reflecting off the stream gave the figure an almost evil aura. The figure spoke, "Mizuki for the crimes you have committed, ranging from the sabotage of academy students, secretly following the traitor Orochimaru, suffocating an innocent comrade, lying to the village, and finally revealing S-class secrets, your punishment is death."

Shenlo POV

How did I know those things? In fact, why can't I control my body right now? Am I possessed? (I am making him temporarily possessed by the shinigami so he can read off his crimes.)

Suddenly finding the ability to move my body, I reached for my kusarigama. I was suddenly kicked in the chest, I was sent backward. I got up with my kusarigama in hand. Mizuki had a kunai in each hand. He ran at me. I began to spin both ends of the chain.

Not wanting to prolong the fight, I slung the weighted end of the chain at Mizuki. The chain wrapped around his legs, tripping him to the ground. Vines burst out of the ground and held him face down on the ground. I spun the scythe end fast, and swung it toward Mizuki, driving the point of the blade into his skull, effectively killing the traitor. I picked my kusarigama out of his skull. I picked up his body and sealed it within a scroll. I then shunsined to the Hokage's office. Despite the late hour, the Hokage was still there.

"Lord Hokage, I have the corpse of the traitor," I spoke.

"Thank you Shenlo. For your and Naruto's involvement in this, you each will receive a B-rank mission on your records, and you each will receive a B-rank payment." The Hokage said.

"Thank you, sir." I thanked. I then left his office and found a hotel.

The Next Day Shenlo

I stayed at a hotel after the long night. I woke up and got dressed in my outfit consisting of dark red anbu pants, taped down at the leg, samurai-style sandals, a black long-sleeved shirt with the half mask attached. I wore black fingerless gloves with black pieces of metal on the back. I put on the black hannya mask Iruka gave to me yesterday. I made my way to the academy for team assignments.

I arrived at the academy just after Iruka arrived. I sat in the back and waited for the rest of the students. After all the students had arrived, Iruka prepared a speech.

"Good morning, class! From this day on you guys will no longer be students of the academy but full-fledged shinobi, lowest of the low. Your greatest challenges all lie ahead. We will begin by dividing you guys into 3-man cells. Each cell will be mentored by one jonin, a senior shinobi who will guide and mentor you guys." Iruka finished.

"First up, team 1 is..." I tuned Iruka out. Until he spoke about something that interested me.

"Team 7 is Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sakura Haruno, your sensei is Kakashi Hatake. Team 8 is Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuuga, your sensei is Kurenai Yuhi. Team 9 is still in rotation. Team 10 is Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi, and Shikamaru Nara, your sensei is Asuma Sarutobi. Team 11 is Yakumo Kurama, Raorin(Ray-oar-in) Shimura, and Shenlo Otsutsuki, your sensei's are Yamato and Yugao Uzuki. Ok, class, there will be a one-hour lunch period. After lunch, come back here and your senseis will pick up your team to another location." With that said, Iruka left the room with an almost too gleeful yell of joy.

1 Hour Later

We all came back into the room. The first two sensei's to come, was a beautiful woman, wearing a battle dress. "Team 8, come with me." She spoke. The members of the said team got up from their seats and left the room. The second was a man with an average build, tan skin, black hair, and a beard. He was smoking a cigarette. "Team 10, with me." The members of team 10 also left the room.

The next two sensei's entered the room. A man that also had a nippou on, the man has short brown hair and black, almond-shaped eyes. He wore a black, sleeveless jumper under a grey flack jacket with strapped-up shinobi sandals, arm-length gloves with guards over them. He carried a strapped to his back.

The second was a young woman with straight, purple hair reaching down to her waist, warm brown eyes, and a shade of red lipstick. She also wears the standard Anbu uniform, consisting of black and grey armor, metal arm guards, and a katana strapped to her back.

"Team 11, meet us on the roof," they both said at the same time. They shunsined away to the roof.
