"Naruto you idiot!" Aika shouts at her brother as he carries her on his back, running from their Sensei Iruka and some Jonin.
Naruto had just graffitied the Hokage mountains while Aika was eating pocky. Naruto quickly hid against the wall and pulled Aika off his back. After the Jonin ran past, Naruto took Aika's hand and ran the opposite way.
"See, what'd I say Aika, your big brother's smar-" he bumped into someone
He looked up to see Iruka-Sensei. He tries to run away but Iruka caught him and tied him up.
"Busted" Aika mumbles, Iruka looked at her and she put her hands up "I'm not running, no need to tie me up too"
Naruto's sitting on the floor in front of Iruka, tied up in front of the class while Aika stands next to him with her hands in her pockets, a pocky in her mouth.
"I'm at the end of my rope, Naruto. You and your sister have failed the graduation test last time, and the time before that. Tomorrow you two got another chance, and you're messing it up for the both of you again!" Naruto hmphs, looking away. Iruka, angry, points at the class "Fine! Because you two missed it, everyone will review the Transformation Jutsu!"
The class lets out a groan and everyone lined up.
"These idiots wouldn't know transformation if it hit them in the head" Aika mumbles
"Aika when you mumble I'm the only one that can hear you" Naruto whispers to her
Aika sighs "That's the point big brother"
The first person to do the jutzu was a pink haired girl "Alright, Sakura here. Let's do it. Transform!" Smoke comes up around her, then disappears, revealing her transformation into Iruka.
"You can clearly see the details she missed" Aika mumbles as Sakura transformed back into herself
Sakura squealed a bit "Yes! I did it! Yes!" she turns "Sasuke, did you see that?" she walks down the line
Sakura was one person Aika couldn't stand.
"Next. Sasuke Uchiha"
Sasuke steps forward then transforms into Iruka
Iruka looks up "Uh, good"
Sasuke transforms back, then walks off
"Next. Naruto Uzumaki"
Naruto's standing there with his arms crossed besides his sister, not happy.
"This is a total waste of time, Naruto" Shikimaru complains
"We always pay for your screw up" Ino whines
"oh shut up" "Like I care" the twins say at the same time
Naruto steps forward "I'll only do it" he points at Aika "if she does it with me"
"Hm?" Aika raised an eyebrow, she then saw the look in her brother's eyes and instantly knew what they were doing 'ah I see'
Iruka sighs "yeah sure, whatever gets you to do it"
Aika walked forward and stood next to Naruto, she was only about 3 inches shorter then her older twin brother(older by 1 hour)
Naruto and Aika exchange a look, they each put their hands together "Transform!" Smoke goes up around the two, then goes down a little, revealing two older naked girls, the smoke covering important parts. One had blonde hair and one had red hair, they both blow a kiss.
Iruka fell back, the boys in class were blushing while the girls were angry. Naruto and Aika transform back, both laughing and pointing at Iruka.
"Gotcha! That's our Sexy Jutsu!" Naruto laughs
"Cut the stupid tricks you two! This is your last warning!" Iruka yelled at them
Naruto and Aika sat scrubbing the stone faces that Naruto had desecrated.
Iruka sat on top of the stone faces, arms crossed "And you're not going home till you've cleaned off every single drop of paint"
"So what? It's not like there's anyone waiting at home for us" Naruto grumbled
Iruka looks down at them "Naruto? Aika?"
Naruto looks up, eyes narrow "What do you want now, Sensei?"
"Isn't this punishment bad enough without you mocking us" Aika complains
"Well, I was just thinking. Maybe after you guys clean this all up I can take you out for some ramen. The good stuff. What do you think?" Iruka questions
The twins smile.
"Now that's some serious motivation!" Naruto shouts
"we'll have this clean in no time" Aika adds
The three are now at the ramen shop, it's night time. Naruto slurps up a bunch of ramen as Aika eats hers neater.
"Now Naruto, why would you do that to the Hokage faces?" Iruka asks "I mean, you know who the Hokage are, don't you?"
"Course I do" Naruto slurps more ramen. Then finishes the whole bowl, letting out a sigh afterwards "Everybody knows. They were the greatest Shinobi of their time, right? The best of the best. Undefeated Ninja champs. And the Fourth Hokage's the one who saved the village from the Nine-Tailed Fox. He was the most amazing"
Iruka looks confused "Then why did you...?"
"Of course because big brother's going to be greater than any of them" Aika answers
"Exactly. Me. Naruto. The next Hokage! A Ninja legend! Then everyone will have to stop disrespecting me, and look up to me. Believe it!" Naruto stops and looks at Iruka "Uh, by the way, I kinda wanna ask a little favour, Sensei"
"You want another bowl?" Iruka asks
Aika finished eating and puts down her chopsticks
Naruto shakes his head "Uh-uh. I... want to try on your headband. Come on, Please!?" he bows his head; begging
"Me too, me too" Aika stands up
"Uh..." Iruka motions to his headband "Oh this? No way. You can only wear the Leaf Headband when you finally graduate from the academy and become a Ninja. You two gotta pass the test tomorrow"
"No fair" "That is so uncool!" the twins pout
The next day at the Academy, Iruka stands at the front of the class.
"We will now start the final exam. When your name is called, proceed to the testing room. The final test will be on... The Clone Jutsu" Iruka announces
Both Naruto and Aika put their heads down 'we're doomed, we're never gonna pass!'
Eventually it was their time, Aika went in the room before Naruto, on the table sits a bunch of leaf headbands.
"Alright Aika" Iruka says
She puts her fingers together "Clone Jutsu!" A puff of smoke went up
The smoke disappears, she looks over to her right. Their was nothing. Iruka has a sad look on his face.
"Wait let me try again" Aika begs "Clone Jutsu!" A puff of smoke went up
The smoke disappears, again their was nothing.
"I'm sorry Aika" Iruka sighs "you fail"
Mizuki looks over "Now Iruka, her moves weren't bad and not every ninja can do all jutsu's. This is her third try and she's good at other jutzu's. We could cut her a break" Aika looks hopeful "and pass her"
"Mizuki Sensei. The other students created at least three effective replications. But Aika can't create one, I'm sorry" Iruka says. Aika is shaking with anger "I can't pass her"
Aika growls as her hair lights on fire "forget it then! I never wanted to be a stupid ninja!" Aika runs out of the room
Outside the Academy. Kids are bunched up, wearing their leaf headbands, happy. Aika and Naruto are sitting off to the side, on swings in the shade of the tree, looking over depressed.
"I'm proud of you son. We all are"
"Congratulations. I'm going to make you all of your favorites tonight. We'll have a feast!"
"There, you see him?"
"It's those twins, I heard they're the only ones who failed"
"Hmph! Well it serves them right"
"Just imagine what would happen if they became Ninja"
Naruto pulls his goggles down to cover his face.
"I mean, they both almost-"
"Shh... We're not allowed to talk about those events"
Aika stood up from her swing and ran away crying.
"Aika" Naruto stood up to follow her, but he heard a noise and looked over to see Mizuki
Aika sat on a tree branch crying, she looked over when she heard noise next to her
"Sasuke"
Sasuke shrugs and sat next to her, he wiped her tears "It's not like you to cry"
"I failed again" Aika looked down "I can't produce a clone"
"I told you to let me tutor you" Sasuke lectured "you're so stubborn"
"yeah yeah" Aika mumbled
He looked over at her and rubbed her head "Don't worry about it"
"What are you doing here anyway?" Aika asks turning her head to look at him
"I saw you run off crying" Sasuke placed his arms behind his head "...and I might be hiding"
"Fangirls?" Aika questioned with a smirk
"shush" Sasuke flicked her forehead
"owie" Aika rubbed her forehead
"What 12 year old says owie, what are you a kid?" Sasuke teases
"So says the emo duck" Aika retorted, still rubbing her forehead
Sasuke rolls his eyes "you should get home before your idiot brother freaks out"
"I guess so" Aika sighs, she smiles to him "thanks Sasuke"
"don't get use to it" Sasuke looks away
"You said the same thing 5 years ago, and here we still are" Aika says before jumping down from the tree
Sasuke stares down at her "5 years ago.."
Aika sat at home waiting for her brother to come home.
"Aika! Aika!" Naruto ran in "come on! come follow me!"
"Follow where?" Aika asks confused
"No time to explain" Naruto says as he picks her up "let's just say I got a way for us to pass"
"pass?" Aika smiles "really?"
Naruto and Aika sit down in the woods, near an old hut, reading the Sacred Scroll of Sealing.
"Let's see... The first one is... Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu" Naruto puts a hand to his head, frustrated "Ah! Not this again. It's our worst Jutsu!"
"Naruto relax" Aika put her hand on top of his hand "we can do this"
"right" Naruto smiles
"oh look" Aika points at another jutsu "now that one sounds more like my style"
The twins are laying on the ground panting. Iruka walks up to them, and they look up. Iruka laughs, Naruto scratches his head and laughs back.
Iruka straightens up, confused "huh?"
"Got us already? Not bad. You're quick, Sensei" Aika complements
"We only had time to learn one technique each" Naruto adds "Oh listen, Iruka Sensei! I'm going to show you this amazing Jutsu and you're going to let me graduate and everything will be okay. That's the way it works, right? Anyone who learns Jutsu from this scroll passes"
"Huh? Where'd you get that idea?" Iruka asks
"Mizuki Sensei told me about it. Believe it" Naruto turns to show the scroll on his back "He told me where to find the scroll..." he turns back to Iruka "... And this place..." Naruto stops, noticing Iruka's shocked face
"What's wrong Iruka Sensei?" Aika asks
Iruka looks back then to them "Look out! Iruka pushes the twins back, kunai push Iruka back to the wall of the hut. Some pinning Iruka there, and there's one in his leg.
"Sensei!" Aika shouts worried
"I see you've found our little hide away"
Iruka looks up "So that's the way it is, huh? I should've known"
Mizuki is in the tree "Give me the scroll, now!"
"Wait a minute..." Naruto looks over at Iruka, then back at Mizuki
"What's going on here?" Aika asks
Iruka, panting, pulls out the Kunai in his leg and throws it aside "Naruto! Aika! Don't let Mizuki get the scroll! It contains forbidden Jutsu, that could put this village in grave danger. Mizuki used you to get the scroll for himself. For his own power"
Naruto and Aika stand up angrily.
"Naruto, Aika" Mizuki holds out his hand "Iruka's just trying to scare you cause he doesn't want you to have the scroll"
"Stop lying, Mizuki" Iruka looks at the twins "Don't let him trick you"
Mizuki laughs "Oh, I'll tell you who's really lying"
"No, Mizuki!" Iruka shouts
"They've been lying to you two your whole lives. Since the decree 12 years ago" Mizuki says
"What decree?" Naruto questions
"what are you talking about" Aika asks
"Everyone knows except you two. Iruka's trying to hide it from you now. He'd do anything to shut me up" Mizuki says
"What is this decree? Why does everyone else know about it but us?" Narto asks as he backs up taking Aika's hand
"Don't tell them! It's forbidden!" Iruka shouts
"The decree is, no one can tell Naruto that the Nine-Tailed Fox is inside him! The Fox spirit that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed our village has taken over your body Naruto. You are the Nine-Tailed Fox!" Mizuki shouts
"Stop it!" Iruka yells
"simultaneously the following year their was the great fire that burned through countless villages, killing millions! Including my parents!" Mizuki shouts "And the cause of that fire was none other than Aika's Phoenix Kekkei Genkai!"
"Shut up!" Iruka shouts
"They've all been sneaking around, hiding things from you two your whole life. Didn't you think it was strange how they treated you? Like dirt. Like they hated you for just being alive" Mizuki says "they even gave you the nickname the Twin Destroyers"
At this moment Aika was crying "n-no"
"No..." Naruto's hands are out at his sides, and wind has come up around him "No, no, no, no!"
Iruka stares at the twins worriedly "Naruto... Aika..."
"That's why you two will never be accepted in this village. Even your beloved Sensei hates your guts!" Mizuki shouts
Iruka bends over in pain, hands above the wound in his leg. He remembers what Hiruzen said to him earlier.
"Iruka. Naruto and Aika never had a Mother or Father to care for them. They're shut out of everything and don't know why. Most people won't even look at them. How would you feel if everywhere you went, people turned their backs on you? That's why they cause trouble. So people would notice them. It may not show, but they're always thinking about the family they don't have. They're hurting inside... all they have is each other"
Mizuki spin Shuriken's above his head "Die twin destroyers!" he throws them
Naruto immediately hugs Aika and turns her away, protecting her.
"Get Down!" Iruka shouts
Naruto does, pulling Aika down with him. Then, Naruto looks up. Iruka is above him, the Shuriken sticking out of his back. Iruka coughs a little, in pain. Naruto, with drops of blood on his cheek, looks up at Iruka shocked. Naruto keeps Aika looking away.
"W-Why?" Naruto questions
"Because we're the same me, you and Aika. When I lost my parents, no one seemed to care. They didn't have time for me. They just forgot I was there. My grades dropped. I became the class clown. I just wanted them to see me... And know my name. My school wasn't good enough to get the attention, so I did crazy things and then I had to pay for it. It was hard. I know that's how you two feel" Iruka is crying "You two have each other but you still feel lonely and it hurts inside. And I could've been there for you guys more. I let you down. I'm sorry. No one should have to suffer that much. No one should be alone like that"
Mizuki chuckles "Don't make me laugh! Iruka always hated you. He was orphaned because the Nine-Tailed Fox killed his parents. And that beast is now inside Naruto. He'd say anything to get the scroll from you"
Naruto gets up and runs, pulling Aika with him.
"Naruto what do we do?" Aika asks as she wipes the tears out of her eyes
"I don't know" Naruto pants "just run ok, we'll be fine"
After a bit of running Naruto pulls Aika behind a tree and sits down, Aika holds the scroll while Naruto holds her close to him.
"You're a fool" they hear Mizuki say "Why are you protecting those freaks? They wiped out your family"
"I don't care what you say, cause you're not getting your hands on that scroll" Iruka replies
"As if you could stop me. Don't you get it? They're just like me" Mizuki says "They want the scroll for their own power, and their own vengeance. That's how beasts are. Naruto pour all his rage into the scroll and destroy everything while Aika's Kekkei Genkai will cause her to lose control and transform"
"You're right..." Iruka says "That is how beasts are, but that's not who they are, they're nothing like that. Naruto.. he's one of a kind, works hard, puts his whole heart into it... and Aika, she's always there cheering him on. She works hard on other jutsu's to make up for those she can't do, she's a bit moody and yells at her classmates but she's always the first to help them. Aika and Naruto mess up sometimes, and everyone jumps on them... but their suffering only makes them stronger. That's what separates them from being a beasts. So you're wrong. They're Naruto and Aika Uzumaki, of the village hidden in the leaves"
Aika is once again crying her eyes out and Naruto is as well. Mizuki reaches around to his last Shuriken on his back.
"Hmph! You really believe that dribble?" Mizuki pulls the Shuriken off his back "Iruka, I was going to save you for later but I changed my mind "Spins the Shuriken "You're finished!" Mizuki runs at Iruka
Naruto suddenly jumps in between them, and head butts Mizuki in the stomach, sending him flying backwards. Iruka's eyes widen. Naruto skids to a stop, standing the scroll up beside him. Aika stands beside him.
"Not bad, for a little punk" Mizuki says as he stands up
Naruto stares at Mizuki, half of his face shadowed"If you ever lay a hand on our Sensei..."
"...I'll kill you" Aika glares as him, her eyes glow red
Iruka gasps and mumbles "Her Kekkei Genkai's awakened"
"Such big words. I can completely destroy you two with a single move!" Mizuki shouts
Naruto put 2 fingers crossed over his other 2 fingers, to form a "+" in front of his face "Take your best shot, fool" he glances at Aika
Aika put 2 fingers crossed over his other 2 fingers, to form a "x" in front of her face "we'll give it back to you a thousand fold!"
"Let's see you try! Show me what you can do, Twin Destroyers!" Mizuki shouts
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
There's a poof sound, and Iruka's eyes widen. Surrounding them are hundreds of Naruto clones. In the trees and on the ground.
"Fire Clone Jutsu!"
There's a poof sound, and Iruka's jaw drops. Surrounding them were now also hundreds of Aika clones, all eyes and hair ablaze like fire.
Mizuki looks around confused and overwhelmed. All of the clones are calling out "over here" and 'come on"
"Huh?" Mizuko stumbles around "What is this?" Mizuki falls and moves back "No..."
A Naruto clone smirks "If you're not coming..."
"Then we're gonna come after you!" a Aika clone shouts
Mizuki looks around, then screams.
Mizuki is beaten on the ground, cuts, bruises, and burns. Naruto and Aika stand above him laughing, the twins turn to each other and high-five. The scroll is on the ground next to them.
"You okay, Iruka Sensei?" Naruto asks as the twins turn around to look at their sensei
Iruka lets out a breath "Yeah... you two come here"
The twins look at each other before walking over to him
"yeah" "what is it sensei?"
Iruka smiles "Congratulations you two. You graduate. And to celebrate, I have a surprise. We're going out for Ramen tonight"
"Iruka Sensei!" the twins cry and jump at him, hugging him, Iruka falls back down.
Iruka laughs "Ah! That hurts you two" the twins laugh as well as they sit up. Iruka pats their backs "Oh come on"
Naruto and Aika high-five each other as they laugh and cheer.
