Chapter Title: Mizuki Knows Best
If there's one thing Mizuki knows it's that Iruka-kun is weak. How the man ever made chuunin is beyond his comprehension. Iruka will never be as strong as Mizuki, simply because he bothers with things like kindness and peace.
What naivety!
Mizuki has far more intelligence; he knows that in a shinobi's world, a world of death and killing and pain, that these things have no use. Iruka will never be fit for anything other than amusing little children until the real ninja are ready to train them to be the killing machines they were born to be.
As the saying goes, thinks Mizuki, the proof is in the pudding. This naivety of Iruka's led him to protect the fox-child; the same creature that murdered his parents! The absurdity! That Iruka could choose that, that thing over him, his supposed best friend! Mizuki can only draw comfort from the fact that he proved how weak Iruka really was. He had been at his mercy, kill for the taking, and had needed a child to defend him! A child! How can this man stand and call himself a 'shinobi'?
Mizuki in his wisdom, sits in his damp, stinking cell, knowing what he knows about Iruka-'sensei' and smiles to himself. It won't be long before Orochimaru-sama comes for him and then, then everyone will know how weak Iruka and his kind have made this village.
