Time Skip: 6 Years

It had been over six years since Naruto had joined the Ninja Academy, and today was the day of graduation for his class, they would finally graduate and become Genin, official ninja of Konoha.

The sun had not yet risen over the village, and yet Naruto was currently awake in his apartment, dressed in only a pair of baggy dark blue pyjama pants he stood in the centre of the room, moving his arms and legs slowly but with practice and precision, a small candle being his only light as he practiced his capoeira.

He performed a left leg sweep before following this by leaning over onto his left side and cartwheeling into a handstand position. Holding up his body weight he bent his legs into a kneeling position so they faced the ceiling and his knees pointed out towards the wall in front of him.

Breathing slowly in through his nose and out through his mouth he maintained the pose, until he saw the sun begin to rise in the nearby window, and slowly stretched his legs out straight and then leant them back and pushed up with his arms and handspringing up onto his legs, his posture than slowly hunched down into his regular position as he relaxed.

While in his previous life, L had been proficient in hand to hand combat and quite athletic despite his appearance, when he was reincarnated in this world he found that he was able to transcend his previous limitations, he became stronger and faster than he previously thought possible, and he quickly picked up on the techniques of this world that were available to him.

During his previous years at the Academy he had quickly picked up on the concept of Chakra and learnt how to mould and channel it properly, and even before he joined the Academy Naruto began to meditate more often than he had done in his past life, where he had kept it a private activity to help relieve stress and help focus his mind on a case. It was here that he also met Kurama, the feared Nine Tailed Fox; he had first met the fox at four years old, shortly after he began solving cases around Konoha.

Kurama had already known of his previous life, having seen his memories and noticed how he was smarter and more intelligent than most adults despite his age. Naruto in turn had deduced that Kurama had not been responsible for the attack on Konoha on the day of his rebirth, seeing as the Fox didn't seem to act with any animosity or blood lust towards him, as well as the fact that before the attack the Fox had been peacefully sealed away inside its former Jinchuriki, Naruto's mother in this world, suggested an outside force had interfered, Kurama even agreeing to share his knowledge of the event, which showed a masked shinobi manipulating Kurama and controlling him, confirming Naruto's suspicion.

The two formed an agreement of sorts; Naruto would bring the masked shinobi to justice in order to appease Kurama, as well as provide the Fox with some entertainment, as according to him it was boring sitting inside his cell all day, and Naruto's antics were the only source of entertainment available to the Bijuu. In return Kurama agreed that he would not try and manipulate him, and he would give Naruto access to his chakra in times of need.

Hearing a small knock on the window, Naruto turned and saw Kakashi standing there, his visible eye closed in what Naruto knew was a smile, reaching down he picked up his long sleeved pyjama shirt and put it on before slowly shuffling over towards the window, he opened it and moved back towards his kitchen.

"Come in" he said, his voice calm and monotone as usual as Kakashi hopped inside and closed the window behind him.

"Good morning Naruto" Kakashi greeted as he followed him into the kitchen area.

Naruto gave a small 'hmm' as a reply as he turned on his kettle and let the water heat up.

"Would you like a cup of coffee?" Naruto asked as Kakashi took a seat at the small table Naruto had.

"Sure" Kakashi said as Naruto placed two cups next to the kettle and poured in small amounts of instant coffee into each cup, Kakashi's receiving less than the blonde, as he preferred it stronger.

After the kettle had finished boiling Naruto poured the hot water into both cups before placing them on the table, as he crouched down on the chair in his normal seating position his hand instantly went to the sugar cubes placed on the table in a small bowl and began adding them to the cup one after another.

"No milk?" Kakashi asked as he knew Naruto had his coffee black, but usually he would offer Kakashi milk, as he knew the Jounin's didn't mind his coffee either way.

"They tried selling me spoiled milk once again" Naruto said with a bored tone as he was still placing sugar cubes in his cup, his gaze fixated on them.

"You think after so many years they would stop trying, I haven't fallen for that since I was four years old" Naruto said.

"Some people never learn I guess" Kakashi said, his tone sounding casual, but Naruto could detect the small tinge of sadness behind his words.

Finally deciding his coffee had enough sugar, he stirred it in before his gaze rose to meet Kakashi's.

"I'm going to go forward with my plan to expose Mizuki today" he said after taking a small sip.

Kakashi nodded slightly.

"After all this time you'll finally have him"

Naruto had been suspicious of Mizuki from the beginning of his Academy days, he had come to the conclusion that something wasn't right with the man after only a short observation, outwardly he seemed friendly and kind, but Naruto could tell that this was just a façade, a false persona that was meant to hide his own darker ambitions.

He had decided to observe the man over his time at the Academy; he couldn't make any accusations without proof. Mizuki at first had acted much like the rest of Konoha's populace, treating him with contempt and bitterness.

He also deduced that Mizuki's plan, whatever it may be, would need a partner, or more appropriately, a patsy, as Mizuki was not the kind of person to put himself at risk of being caught out, not after the amount of time he had spent wishing for success. And due to his position at the academy, it was most likely he would use a student, one who would be easily fooled by his persona of their friendly teacher, into assisting him in his act.

After collaborating with Kakashi, the Jounin had agreed with Naruto's reasoning, having told him that Mizuki had always seemed off to him, and that the chuunin always seemed ambitious and was hiding something.

Naruto also saw that Mizuki's hatred for him, would eventually lead him to target Naruto as the one to use for his plan, as whatever the outcome, Mizuki could pass the blame onto him.

Thus while in his fifth year of the Academy, Naruto decided to take the Genin exam early, in order to begin drawing Mizuki out, he purposefully failed the exam, despite knowing all the techniques, and Kakashi having taught Naruto the Multi Shadow Clone Technique (1), unknown to Iruka or Mizuki. After waiting for three months, he once again took the exam early, and failed again, this time he expressed more 'grief' at having failed. This time Mizuki came to Naruto afterwards and expressed his 'condolences' at Naruto not having passed, and had encouraged him to try again as soon as he felt he should.

Naruto's suspicions became stronger after this, he suspected that if he failed once more, and displayed an utter feeling of grief and dejection, his acting would surely convince Mizuki that he was able to be persuaded to do whatever task he was given, most likely in exchange for either passing the exam, or being instantly promoted to Genin, this being a lie that would be meant to seal the deal.

"Do you have an idea of what Mizuki will want you to do?" Kakashi asked, taking a sip of his own coffee, despite his mask still being in place, Naruto was sure it was a Genjutsu of some kind.

Nodding slightly, Naruto answered.

"There are several possibilities; he could want me to steal village secrets or Intel. But more likely it's something he would benefit from personally, either through power, or wealth, I'm more inclined to think power, possibly a scroll or artefact." Naruto said before taking another sip of his coffee.

Kakashi nodded in agreement, before Naruto got down from his position and made his way over to the sink, leaning his head back as he finished the rest of the cup in one go, he placed the cup in the sink and turned back to Kakashi's seated form.

"And before the night is up, justice will be served" he said, his tone slightly more lively than before.

Naruto than walked over to his closet and began to change into his normal clothes, his long sleeved white shirt and faded jeans, slipping on his sandals with a slight annoyance, as he still didn't like wearing them, but saw the benefit of them in terms of his training and future mission requirements.

"I'm going to head out now; I want to make it to the academy early today, the sooner I fail the exam, the sooner Mizuki's plot will unveil itself, feel free to let yourself out" Naruto said to Kakashi as he made his way over to the front door.

Before he walked through the door, Kakashi's voice caught his ear.

"Be careful L"

Naruto didn't look back, but nodded before closing the door and making his way to the academy.

(Several Hours Later)

Naruto sat on the small rope swing outside of the Academy, looking at all the other children with their families, having just graduated; they were all showing off their headbands with pride.

He wore a mask of disappointment and sadness on his face, waiting for Mizuki's inevitable arrival. While he sat he heard some of the parents and older people present whispering, his ears picking up their hushed conversations in pieces.

"…..serves him right…."

" …..Imagine what would happen if he became a ninja…"

"….Isn't he the-" "Shush, you know where not allowed to talk about that…."

While Naruto knew what they were talking about, and had gotten used to hearing it since he had been reborn in this world, a small part of him still felt a pang of sadness at their words, he quickly steeled his emotions and tried to bury the memories that were surfacing, of his childhood in this world, and his childhood in his former life.

Suddenly he felt a presence by his side, and turned to see Mizuki standing there a comforting smile on his face that Naruto knew was false.

"Come on Naruto, let's take a walk" He said, his tone friendly and comforting.

'Just as I planned, now let's see what you're up to Mizuki' Naruto thought as he stood up and followed Mizuki out of the gates, putting his hands in his pockets and hunching over as Mizuki placed a hand on his shoulder, they both made their way away from the academy.

(That Afternoon)

Naruto and Mizuki were now sitting on a balcony overlooking the village; the sun was starting to set in the horizon.

"Why does Iruka-Sensei only ever pick on me?" Naruto asked, his tone conveying sadness and dejection, though internally Naruto's focus was on Mizuki, knowing that his acting was convincing enough to this point, and Mizuki would surely reveal his true intentions.

"Iruka only wants you to be strong Naruto. But that won't happen if he goes easy on you, he's a lot like you, you know, he doesn't have any parents or family, things weren't easy for him either" Mizuki said.

Naruto already knew this, he knew of Iruka's history and his initial feelings towards him, but knew that Iruka's perspective had changed, and the man didn't hate him for being the Fox's container.

"I guess…..but this time, I just really, really wanted to graduate" Naruto said, looking down as he made himself seem utterly hopeless.

He then heard Mizuki let out a low chuckle.

'Now I've got you' Naruto thought to himself.

"Then I guess I'll have to tell you" Mizuki said as Naruto turned to him, a look of curiosity on his face, he had baited the hook long enough, and now he was finally going to catch Mizuki out.

"It's a secret, but I'll let you in on it" Mizuki said with a small smile.

"What secret Mizuki-Sensei?"

Mizuki turned and looked around, making it look like he was insuring they were out of earshot of anyone before turning back.

"There's a secret test, meant only for students deemed worthy enough to take it, and since you've taken the Genin Exam three times, I can tell you're determined enough to succeed this test" Mizuki said as Naruto rolled his eyes internally at Mizuki's attempts to flatter him, but had to appear excited.

"A secret test!" he exclaimed, his eyes widening.

"Yeah, and if you pass it, you get to be a Genin automatically, without having to retake the academy exam" Mizuki said cheerfully.

"What's the test? I'll take it right now Mizuki-Sensei!" Naruto said, leaning in a display of eagerness.

"You need to sneak into the Hokage's office, and inside is a large scroll, you should be able to find it on a pedestal, if you get the scroll and bring it to me at the training grounds tonight, you'll pass" Mizuki said as he clasped Naruto on the shoulder.

Naruto nodded quickly.

"Sure thing Sensei, I'll pass this test for sure!" Naruto said before turning and jumping down below to the street and quickly leaving, still keeping up his act until he knew for sure that he was out of Mizuki's range, afterwards he resumed his usual hunched position, chewing on his thumb slightly as he walked.

'So that was his goal, he plans to steal the forbidden scroll, or more accurately, have me steal it for him.' He thought as he made his way discreetly to Kakashi's apartment.

'I should warn Kakashi first, then make my way to the Hokage tower, I can't risk telling anyone else, I need to force Mizuki to reveal his true intentions, and a witness to verify this, but that shouldn't be too hard, there's a 75 percent chance that he'll contact Iruka, and after I take the scroll the Hokage will no doubt have all available Ninja looking for me, Iruka would have a more knowledgeable perspective on where to find one of his students in his opinion, so all I have to do is go someplace he would think to look, and wait until either he or Mizuki finds me, no matter which one does first, I will be able to expose him for the traitor he is"

(That Night)

Naruto was now sitting in one of the training grounds by himself, the scroll on his back as he sat crouched on the ground and continued to wait for Iruka or Mizuki, he had been able to sneak into the Hokage's office and incapacitate him using his personalised transformation Jutsu.

He had created it for use in Intel gathering, disguise and espionage, where he would transform into a female version of himself.

However, once Kakashi had witnessed this, he had dubbed it the 'Sexy-Jutsu' due to Naruto's female appearance, since then Naruto learned he could use the transformation against those more susceptible to the form of a woman, and in some cases cause the effect it had on the Hokage, he didn't know how to 'flirt' with the form, yet he found if he merely revealed his extremities while transformed it would be enough.

'I just don't understand some people' He thought, remembering the look on the Hokage's face before passing out.

'They're just breasts'

His thoughts were interrupted however as Iruka suddenly appeared, looking tired after having searched for Naruto for quite some time.

"Found you!" Iruka exclaimed as Naruto stood up slowly, dusting the dirt off his pants and turning to Iruka, his expression remaining the same.

"What the hell were you thinking Naruto! Stealing the forbidden scroll-" Iruka began to berate his student only for Naruto to raise a hand to cut the man off.

"Yes it is true I took the scroll, however I needed to in order to draw out the real culprit, the one who tried to trick me into thinking this was an alternate graduation test, my actions were done with the intent of revealing them" He said in his monotone, pulling out a small lollipop and putting it in his mouth.

Iruka looked shocked and confused at Naruto's statement.

"W-What?"

"This was meant to insure I'd have a witness, otherwise my claims wouldn't be enough" he said as Mizuki arrived, standing on a tree branch above them.

Iruka turned having sensed his arrival; Naruto frowned up at the man.

"Naruto! Give me the scroll now!" Mizuki said down to him, only for Naruto to take the lollipop out of his mouth and stare up at Mizuki unfazed.

"Sorry, but that's not going to happen" he said as he scratched his left leg for a moment before looking back at Mizuki.

"What!" Mizuki exclaimed, his expression twisting into one of anger and annoyance.

"Did you honestly think I'd believe that stealing the forbidden scroll was a form of test? You should have more faith in your students. No I knew you were planning something for some time now, I only had to lure you out into revealing it, why do you think I failed the exam three times. I knew you would seek me out, and now I have proof of your crimes Mizuki" Naruto said, his voice never wavering, though his eyes were serious.

Iruka looked at Naruto in surprise, not only the fact that he knew Mizuki was planning something like this, but also that he had devised this plan to stop him.

"Y-You damned brat!" Mizuki screamed.

"I'll just have to kill you both! Than the scroll will be mine" He proclaimed before throwing a torrent of Kunai at them.

"Look out!" Iruka yelled as he pushed Naruto out of the way, the Kunai missing him completely, but Iruka taking one in the leg.

Naruto managed to regain his senses and looked up to see Iruka pull the Kunai out of his leg, which was now bleeding through his pants.

"Run Naruto! Get out of here, quickly!" Iruka commanded, Mizuki let out a laugh.

"Don't listen to him Naruto, Iruka doesn't care for you, just like everyone else in this village, he knows the truth!"

Naruto looked up with a bored expression, knowing what Mizuki was going to say.

"The truth that has been hidden from you since the day you were born! The Fourth Hokage used you as a container for the Nine Tailed Fox" Mizuki began, not noticing Naruto's expression.

"Don't listen to him, Naruto!" Iruka said concerned for his student, only to see Naruto sucking on his lollipop as he listen to Mizuki ramble on.

"Don't you get it, you are the Kyuubi! The beast who destroyed the village and killed all those people, even Iruka knows the truth; he hates you for killing his parents!" Mizuki said, before Naruto let out a sigh.

"Are you quite done?" he asked, getting looks of shock from both Iruka, and Mizuki.

"I've known about the Fox for years, so that's not really a surprise at all. And as for Iruka, I know he holds no ill will towards me, unlike you he isn't a narrow minded fool too blinded by his own hatred to see clearly" Naruto said, casting a look to Iruka who smiled slightly at his student.

"And I think I speak for both of us when I say this is going to give me a certain level of enjoyment" Naruto said slowly, making Mizuki look at him in anger and confusion.

"What will!?"

Naruto formed his hand into a cross seal and the corner of his lip curled up slightly.

"This, Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!"

Several minutes later Naruto now stood over a bound and gagged Mizuki, who now sported multiple bruises and lumps covering his body, and Iruka, was standing next to him, limping slightly at his leg.

"I can't believe it Naruto, you outsmarted Mizuki, and saved the village from losing one of its most valuable artefacts" Iruka said proudly, Naruto merely nodded and turned to the man.

"It was no problem, I simply hate to see people like him triumph, causing injustice and wrongdoings in their pursuit of selfish and destructive desires, and it's something I'll always stand against" he said evenly as Iruka looked at him with a look of contemplation.

"Naruto, Close your eyes" he said, Naruto looked at him strangely.

"Why? Is there something wrong?" he asked in confusion.

"Just do it!" Iruka said smirking.

Naruto slowly closed his eyes and felt a weight suddenly on his forehead, and the sounds of cloth being tied around his head.

He instantly knew what it was, and opened his eyes to see Iruka standing there without his headband, and smiling at him.

"Congratulations Naruto, You've earned it" he said as Naruto reached up and gently traced his finger across the symbol that was now adorning his forehead, a symbol of his dedication and will as a Ninja.

"Thank you….Iruka" Naruto said slowly, not knowing exactly how to react to the gesture, he felt a sense of accomplishment similar to how he felt when solving a case, but this time it was something…more.

Reaching into his pocket he produced a round red lollipop and handed it to Iruka.

His teacher looked surprised before smiling and accepting the treat before letting out a low chuckle.

"What is it with you and sweets!" he asked before shaking his head.

"I'm surprised you have any teeth left" He said as Naruto continued to suck on the lollipop he had contently.

Naruto turned back to Mizuki just as Kakashi arrived; the Jounin saw the headband on his head and gave an eyesmile in his direction.

"Good work you two and congratulations Naruto" Kakashi said as he picked up the unconscious Mizuki.

"Kakashi?" Iruka asked in confusion.

"How'd you find us?"

Kakashi gave a wave of his hand, as he and Naruto shared a look.

"Come on, we should report to the Hokage" Naruto said as he put his hands in his pockets and made his way along with Kakashi, Iruka following after a moment's hesitation.

"Hey Naruto, after this is all wrapped up, how about we get some Ramen, Ichiraku's will still be open?" Iruka offered as Naruto turned to him and after a moment's contemplation nodded.

"Great" Iruka said as they made their way out of the grounds.

"I like their sweet ramen they have available, it's quite nice"

Iruka let out a sigh as Kakashi chuckled; Naruto merely looked at them both in confusion.
