(A.N.) I do not own Naruto unfortunately, and I also don't own the plot below, it belongs to Masako X and Vegeta3986.
Abridged Series Episode 1
Iruka sensei lay with his hands behind his head, much like all the goggle heads from each of the 6 Digimon series.
"How in the hell did I get this giant scar across my nose?" He said, starting one of the ridiculously long flashbacks that loads of anime like to include in every other episode. It began by fading into a lovely shot of the nine-tailed fox that the Fourth Hokage had no problem sealing into his baby son, but we all know it went back into the Pokéball it came from. After being picked up and carried away by a seemingly unimportant ninja and complaining that his parents were still battling the nine-tails (so we assume) Iruka thought it was a good idea to bring up the fact they had only just been out shopping for towels, which personally, I fail to see how it has anything to do with the fact that it's too late to go back for his parents.
The unknown ninja then reminded Iruka sensei that if your flashbacks are in black and white, it means you got screwed in your childhood, but Iruka, being the man he is, decided to ignore the comment and worry about the fact that he had a completely ridiculous voice when he was younger.
Later that very same day, which again, viewers just assume that's the case, Iruka had gone after the knucklehead ninja, who magically stole the forbidden scroll that was guarded by 5 jonin, 7 chunin and 5 genins. Unrealistic, I know, but the point is, Iruka found him and asked if he stole the scroll, which can clearly be seen on Naruto's back. Of course Naruto, very sarcastically, replied with a no, and Iruka instantly thought he was telling the truth, a pretty stupid move for a ninja. He only found out the truth after Mizuki demanded Naruto hand over the scroll to him, and then threw a shuriken in his direction. Now, in the time that it took Mizuki to say "Overly unnecessarily large shuriken throw of doom" and actually throw a shuriken, either Naruto or Iruka could have attacked him, but no, they both decided to stay put until after the shuriken was thrown. It was only then that Iruka chose to do something 'useful' and protect Naruto from the weapon heading his way, by jumping in front of it and let the shuriken stab him in the back. Any normal person at this point would probably be on the floor, screaming in pain shouting "I DON'T WANNA DIE!" but Iruka simply shrugs it off, because after all it's just a 'flesh wound', and there are more important things in world than going to the hospital after all.
Please review, and if you like the abridged series, I will happily write about your favourite part of each episode for you!
Also, if you haven't already, go and watch Masako and Vegeta's abridged series, it's definitely a good laugh!
