Chapter 3: The Traitorous Sensei
Dante sat up from the swing and watched Naruto walk out of the building without Iruka, looking happier than before.
"Where's Iruka?"
"I couldn't find him, but I have a chance to graduate!"
"How?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Iruka laid in bed thinking about his conversation with the Third earlier that day. "I understand how you feel, but Naruto grew up without knowing the love of a parent, like you." Pictures of that night flashed through his head, He saw the Kyuubi attacking multiple shinobi and he saw himself being carried off screaming for his parents. He heard a banging on his door with Mizuki's voice.
"Iruka-sensei, Wake up!"
"What is it?
"You must come with me to see the Hokage, Naruto has stolen the Scroll of Sealing!"
"What!?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Let's see, the first technique is..."
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu."
"Aw man, I'm no good at Bunshins!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many Jounin and Chuunin were surrounding the Hokage, "We must get the Scroll of Sealing back from Naruto, He is too dangerous with it, He may leave the village and cause havoc"
Iruka ran up to the crowd just in time to see the Kage give his order.
"Bring Naruto here." The Hokage gave them a signal and they all dissapeared.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto sat on the ground looking exhausted while Dante leaned against the wall, panting but not heavily. Iruka appeared in front of Naruto, "Hey, Naruto."
"Oh man, We got caught, we were only able to learn one technique!"
Dante spoke up, "Naruto, try out the technique, then Iruka will let you graduate!"
"Who said that?"
"Mizuki-sensei, he told me about this place and this scroll!"
Iruka looked suprised for a second but his suprise turned to horror as he saw kunai and shuriken headed their way, "Get down!" He pushed Naruto out of the way as he got struck in the leg and got grazed on his shoulder.
"I'm surprised you found out about this place!"
"I see, so that's how it is."
Mizuki was standing on a branch with two large shuriken tied to his back,"Naruto, Hand over the scroll!"
"What's going on here?"
"Naruto, don't let him get the scroll, no matter what, That's a dangerous scroll that has forbidden techniques, Mizuki used you so he could get a hold of it!"
"Naruto, Iruka is afraid of you possessing that!"
"What are you saying, Mizuki! Naruto, Don't believe him!"
"I'll tell you the truth, Naruto."
"Don't!"
"A rule was created after the incident 12 years ago."
"A rule?"
"It's a rule that only you, Naruto, cannot find out about."
"Only me? What's that rule?"
"Stop, Mizuki!"
"It's a rule not to say that Naruto is a monster fox."
"Wh- What?"
"In other words, you are the nine-tailed fox that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed our village!"
"Stop!"
"You've been decieved by the village people all this time, Didn't you think it was weird that everyone hated you so much?"
"Damn it... Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"Naruto..."
"No one's ever going to recognize you, even Iruka hates you!"
Iruka cringed in pain and thought of what the Hokage talked to him about.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Iruka. Naruto grew up without knowing the love of a parent and will be hated because of the incident. So, he had to pull those pranks to get everyone's attention. Whatever the form, he wanted someone to recognize the value of his existence. Although he acts tough, Naruto is the one who is having a difficult time"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Die, Naruto!" Mizuki threw his shuriken at Naruto and Naruto tried to crawl away but couldn't, Iruka jumped in the way, expecting to feel the shuriken enter his back. He heard the noise of the shuriken entering something, but it wasn't him. He turned around to see a shocking sight. Dante stood there, with the shuriken piercing his chest.
"Heh..."
"What, you're still alive?!"
Dante pulled the shuriken out of his chest and looked up at Mizuki, "I don't die that easy!"
"Damn you!" Mizuki jumped off his perch and charged at Dante. Dante was about to block when Iruka jumped in the way to kick Mizuki. Mizuki saw this coming and blocked it. He countered, sending Iruka into a nearby tree. He was knocked unconcious.
"Naruto..."
Naruto got up from where he was standing and backed up against a tree, watching Dante and Mizuki get ready to fight.
