Chapter 3:

Revealed the not-so-secret-anymore secret!!

A blond boy is sitting on a swing a few meters from the ninja academy. He was quietly watching his classmates celebrate their achievement with their families. Naruto sighed. 'Why does when kids achieve something, parents always overdo the celebration? Its only the beginning…'

"What's wrong Naru-chan?" Kouhei suddenly jumped onto Naruto's lap startling the blond boy. "Kou, how many times have I told you to stop popping out of nowhere?" Kouhei furrowed his eyebrows as in deep in thought. He then smiled brightly at Naruto. "Exactly 2368 times and still going!" Kouhei laughed and snuggled on Naruto's lap. Naruto chuckled and proceed on petting the uber cute fox.

"Wow… You had such a cute pet Naruto-kun." A voice came from behind Naruto. Naruto turned and face the owner of the voice. "Mizuki-sensei." Naruto said addressing the chuunin. Mizuki tried to pet Kouhei but he retreat his hand when the fox growl really loudly. "You dare to even think to touch me and I'll shred you to pieces asshole!!" 'Gasp!Kou! Language!!' Kyuubi dramatically said like a sissy high school girl. (Sissy…? Kyuubi glared at the author. Save me!!) 'Kyuubi… I'm 14!!' "Naruto-kun, do you want to be stronger?" That had gotten Naruto's, Kouhei's and Kyuubi's attention. "W...Wha?" Naruto stammered as his mind was screaming 'WHATTHEFUCK?! IF YOU THINK I'M ACTUALLY AN IDIOT TO FALL FOR THAT, YOUR HEAD IS MINE!!' 'SCREW HIS HEAD!! TEAR HIS BEATING, LIVING HEART OUT OF HIS BODY!!' Kyuubi was undeniably pissed off. How dare he think kit is weak!! HIS KIT!! I'm gonna censoredcensoredcensored!!

'Naru-chan, Kyuubi-sama, with all due respect, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION!! Kouhei managed to settle the two's mental swearing. "So, what do you think? You wanna do it?" Mizuki suddenly spoke. "Huh?" Naruto confused as he didn't pay attention to what Mizuki was saying. "Say yes Naru!" Kouhei hissed at Naruto. "Uh…H…Hait, Mizuki-sensei!" Naruto saluted and jumped off god knows where with Kouhei on his shoulder. He missed the sadistic smirk on Mizuki's face.

Sarutobi, the proud Sandaime hokage of Konohagakure no Sato, had just finished giving out his speech at the ninja academy graduation ceremony. He is now reading his precious book; the sortafamous Icha Icha Paradies. 'Ha… peace at last…' and he started to flip the next page when suddenly…

"HOKAGE-SAMA!!"

Sigh… Sarutobi reluctantly kept his precious book inside his drawer. "Okay, now who's the one who wishes for eternal peace and quiet?" He whispered softly but the black clouds swirling on his head was clear as the daylight.

"HOKAGE-SAMA!! Terrible news!!" As if on schedule, a vic… I mean an innocent jounin burst into the hokage's office. "What?..." Shadows covered the aged man eyes that if you squinted, you can see the evilness behind the ever-so-calm hokage. The now terrified jounin almost urines in his pants at the sight of a seriously pissed off hokage. "Er…I um… I recie… well…" the jounin started. "Spit. It. Out." Now, the dark aura surround the old man had increase. Ten times. Worse. "Uhhh I've… I've receivedareportstatingUzumakiNarutohadstoletheforbiddenscroll,PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!!" he saluted then cry his eyes out.

"WHAAAAAATT!!" a HUGE gust of wind blew the door (and the jounin) out of the office. All the shinobi in the building saw an unknown object tumbled out of the office. It rolled down the stairs, and roll and roll and, you guess it, roll until it hit the wall. Three floors below the office.

After 10 minutes to get the unconscious jounin back to the office, 10 more minutes to calm a panicked hokage and half an hour trying to wake the jounin up, he finally state the full report. 'Finally… this guy slept like a dead man…' Sarutobi thought as he listened to the report. "Sir, It seems like he had use an unknown jutsu to knockout several jounins who was guarding the scroll. The medic nins confirmed they had lost too much blood from a case of… nosebleed, sir," the jounin reported.

'That must be the Sexy no jutsu Naruto created…' Sarutobi thought as he rubbed his temple.

"Urm… hokage-sama, why are you drooling?" the confused jounin stared as liquid started to collected on the table. "Huh? What?" the hokage looked at his wet robe and table. 'Oh shit!!' "It's not a drool and go get all chuunins and jounins available NOW!!" he shouted and the jounin left the building in a blink of an eye.

Inside the forest, Naruto and Kouhei jumped from tree branch to another with a big scroll under one arm.

'WooHoo!! Kit!! Lets steal stuff again!!'

'Kyuubi-sama this isn't really stealing'

'Who cares? Do that jutsu again kit!'

"Ero youko…"Naruto mumbled to himself.

Naruto landed on a clear area and put the scroll down. "So, Mizuki-sensei said to steal the scroll and use it to learn the jutsu inside? Clearly he wanted the scroll for himself." Naruto said as he opened the scroll. "Hey! I've learned EVERYTHING in here!!" Naruto said frustrated by the result of his hard work to get the forbidden scroll. "Just read it Naru. Who knows, you might found a really handy jutsu," Kouhei said.

Naruto read the scroll until he saw one jutsu. Shiki Fujin. 'Kit, that's the one.' 'Huh? What's the one?' Naruto asked when Kyuubi suddenly interrupted.'That's the seal yondaime-teme use! Shiki Fujin!' Naruto's eyes widen. So, this was the seal that was use on him. He started to read the complex seal and the explanations.

Meanwhile, Kouhei jumped on a tree and keep watch. 'There's still an hour and half before Mizuki comes. Just in case.' Kouhei's eyes started to glow and his ears went up. He scans around five kilometers of his and Naruto's perimeter and listens to any suspicious sounds. 'I better keep watch…'

--Hokage's Office--

"Hokage-sama I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this!!" Iruka tried to convince the frustrated old man. The council and several jounins and chuunins don't like the thought of the demon with the scroll for more than a second let alone an hour.

"The only logical explanation, Umino, is that the demon is losing control. Sarutobi, forget of the fourth wish. We must kill the demon child! Inside the scroll is the fourth sealing jutsu. Do you realize the consequences?" one of the walking skeletons, I mean the elders, Utatane Koharu, spoke. "Sarutobi, think about the villagers' safety. Do you wish to go against our teachers' will for that monster?" Mitokado Homura said confidently. The chuunins and jounins all cheer to show their support and agreement.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!!"

Every living organism in the office stopped dead. "Jounins, chuunins, find him. Bring him and the scroll back. Un. Harm." The hokage pointed out the last two words. "Hait!" The shinobi shouted in unison.

Iruka immediately headed towards the forest since Naruto had once hid there before AFTER he flooded the academy. Using the bathroom tap water! Even until now, it's a wonder how there was a TIDAL WAVE in the academy.

"Better hurry up before god-knows-what will happen to him", with that, Iruka jumped into the forest.

"Damn it… this…is…ONE HELL OF A SEAL!! This fucking… seal is… beyond complex! It's impossible!!" Naruto complained between panting.

'How the hell did the shinigami agreed to this??' Kyuubi screamed in frustration.

On a tree, five meters away from them, Kouhei was still focused on keeping watch. A couple of times he glanced at Naruto after he heard cries and large amount of energy being released. 'For Naru-chan and Kyuubi-sama to work so hard and curse more than 20 times a minute, this 'yondaime' must be something!'

Kouhei suddenly stiffened at the large, scratch that, MASSIVE amount of killer intent directed straight at him. 'Um…ah… Oh! I think somebody is coming! Erm… bye!' He jumped off the tree and ran to Naruto's side. Still sweating a bucket. Naruto grinned. "Little Kouhei got scold again?" he said while trying to hold back his laughter. Kouhei shot him a look. Its not the call-me-that-again-you'll-eat-vegetables-for-eternity kind of look, more of this-is-serious-like-the-Uchiha-brat-wearing-pink kind of look. "Someone is coming. It's not Mizuki…" Naruto then picked up a familiar chakra source. "Iruka-sensei…"

"WHERE IS HEEE??" Iruka screamed his lungs out just in case the boy he's searching could hear him and beg to kami he response back. Whether dead or alive…

He have been searching for Naruto for … 40 minutes! For-ty!! Anything could happen in fourty minutes!

'He might got hurt or lost. Maybe the others found him and…and… try to HURT HIM!!' Flashback of young Naruto surround by mobs of villager suddenly popped in his head. 'NOOO!! What if… what if an enemy ninja TOOK him AWAY??'

"Kyaaahh!! Naruto!! Where ARE YOU??"

"Iruka-sensei!"

'Oh no. Now I'm hearing him in my head! Bad omen! He must be badly injured or lost! Wait… he doesn't have dinner yet, MAYBE HIS STARVING TO DEATH!! NOOOO!! "Naruto! I'm coming to save you!!"

"Iruukaa-sennsei!!"

'OH MY GOSH!! His soul had come to haunt me! Forgive me Naruto!! I swear I'll hunt those that kill you and treat my students after school! Every single one of them so they won't starve!! Show me the way!!' Tears started to dramatically fall like a waterfall as he jumped from trees to trees.

BAM!!

Something hard hit him at the face. Really hard. He fell from the tree he was on and land with a loud crash. And a crack somewhere along.

"Oww… feels like a fridge hit me…" Iruka mumbled to himself when it hit him. "OMFG! Naruto!! Are you still there?! NOO!! Your soul has crossed over!! I failed you… sob sob"

"Urm… Iruka-sensei? Are you sleep walking?"

Iruka stunned at first then turned to the two pairs of eyes (maybe three) thet's looking at him like he had just announced he met a pink alien from Mars. Oh, wait… already have a pink alien on Earth…

"Naruto!! You're ALIVE!!" Iruka cried as he glomped on the surprised said boy. Two waterfalls started to fall, again, and Naruto was slowly turning to purple every second past.

'CAN'T…BREATH… NEED… OXY…GEN!!'

'KIT!! STAY WITH ME!! I'm too young to die now!!'

'STOP WHINING AND SAVE NARU-CHAN! YOU GIANT PIECE OF FURBALL!!'

Silence… 'Urm… uh… how about… um… Oo! Kit!! How about you-'

Naruto fainted.

'-faint… Oh well, I DID help!'

'Just barely…'

"Urm, kit… Kouhei's being mean again…" Kyuubi gently nudge Naruto's consciousness awake using his nose.

"Itai… Iruka-sensei got a really strong grip…" Naruto slowly wake up. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head. "GyaAHH!! KYUUBI!!" Naruto shouted.

"Shit! Kouhei! What's happening out there??" Kyuubi started to panic as naruto's grew even louder.

'I'm gonna rip him APART!!' Kouhei suddenly threatened.

"Kou? What the fuck is going on?!"

'That dolphin guy is shaking Naru-chan like maracas!'

"Oo! Did it let out a sound?"

'KYUUBI!!'

"Fine. I'm shutting up!"

Slowly the 'Naruto' inside the mindscape fade away.

"Okay… down boy… If you don't let me near Naruto, we won't know if he's hurt or not… like how you did to me" Iruka tried to persuade the protective fox while rubbing his newly-bitten hand. 'Man, it can really bite! NOT! Cute. Anymore.'

"Yeah, and you shaking him doesn't!" Kouhei barked. He kept growling at the chuunin. Finally, Naruto woke up with a groan. "Oww… did Kouhei tried to wake me up again?" Naruto muttered softly to himself. "Naruto! You're awake!!" Iruka shrieked and ran past a piss off fox. "Hey! Don't you dare ignore me you pathetic human!!" Kouhei yelled at Iruka as he hugged Naruto again but gently this time.

'Kit! Watch out!!' Kyuubi suddenly yelled.

Naruto was startle for a moment but immediately grabbed Iruka and Kouhei and jumped to the side. Almost instantly, a huge shuriken hit the ground they were on a second ago. Naruto got up and eyed his surrounding. Kouhei was already in his fighting mode. "Naru-chan, looks like our impression towards him was right all along" Kouhei said lowly. 'Which? He's a two-faced bastard who have no guts to do a crime by himself or he is a dumbass to think I'm falling for his plan?' Naruto replied taking out a kunai.

"Iruka-sensei…" Naruto called his teacher. Iruka looked at his student. "Yeah, Nar-" "GET AWAY NOW!!" Naruto screamed as some kunais and shurikens flew out of the trees. "What the heck?!" Iruka jumped onto the nearest tree. Iruka search around for a sign of Naruto. He attempted to find him when suddenly…

"IRUKA-SENSEI!! CATCH!"

"Wha-?" A big and heavy something hit him at the gut. "Oof! What is this?" Iruka wondered and looked at the 'something'. His eyes widen. 'The forbidden scroll!' He then a heard a huge crash as if something heavy (not as heavy as the scroll) hit the ground from behind him. He turned around but dust covered his vision. 'Naruto!' Iruka panicked and jumped onto the ground.

He peered into the clouds of dust and saw two figures. One was sitting on the ground and the other was standing in front of the first figure. At last, the dust cleared and he saw the standing figure was…

"Mizuki? What are you doing here?" Iruka dumbfoundly ask a stupid question.

"Its obvious right? To retrieve back the scroll from…him" he spat the last word with venom. Naruto who was sitting on the ground glared at the traitor then he turned to Iruka. "Iruka-sensei, don't trust him!! He's the one who told me to steal the scroll so he could have it for himself!!" Naruto yelled. "SHUT UP, DEMON!!" Mizuki threw another huge shuriken straight at Naruto.

'Kyuubi, I have to fight!!'

'Damn it, kit! If you fight, he's definitely gonna tell those fucking council and punish you for sure!'

The shuriken stabbed his victim merciless, except… no pain came. Naruto opened his eyes which he shuts unconsciously. What he saw shock him more than meeting Kouhei and Kyuubi for the first time. "I…Iruka-sen…sei…"

On top of him, Iruka protected Naruto from the shuriken by letting it stabbed his back. 'Wh…What the…' Naruto was speechless even in his mind. "Naruto… isn't a demon." Iruka voiced out. Naruto slowly moved back away from him. The forbidden scroll dropped at the spot where Iruka once stood.

"Of course he's a demon! You should've known better Iruka, he killed your parents!! As well as many more shinobi he killed that night!" Mizuki yelled at Iruka who had figure what Mizuki was intending to say. Mizuki looked at Naruto who was still shock of what Iruka had done. He mistook the expression for what he had told him. "Confuse monster? Here, I'll tell you straight on!" Mizuki grinned widely as he could. "Stop it Mizuki!! It's forbidden!!" Iruka screamed almost begging him to stop talking.

"YOU'RE THE VESSEL OF KYUUBI NO YOUKO!! THIRTEEN YEARS AGO, YONDAIME SEALED THE MONSTER INSIDE OF YOU!! YOU ARE THE MONSTER WHO KILLED THOUSANDS OF LIVES IN ONE NIGHT!! KYUUBI NO YOUKO!!" Mizuki yelled satisfy. "Shut up! Mizuki!" iruka shouted with anger. Naruto got over his shocked and looked at Mizuki. "K…Kyuubi?" Naruto stuttered. Iruka looked at Naruto with worried whilst Mizuki looked at him with hatred. Smirk of triumph plastered on his face.

'Kit… It's fine. Everything is fine.'

'Why did Iruka-sensei did that? His eyes hold an emotion… I rarely see…'

'Kindness? Care? Worried? I can still go on kit…'

'I… don't understand those feelings.'

'Kit, trust me. He cares for you… just like… Kouhei… and I'

Naruto stared at the ground. Bangs covering his eyes. Care… It has been a while since he saw someone who has those sort of feeling towards him. He could only remembered his ojii-san and the old man at Ichiraku's. Others just… distance. He smiled softly. 'But… that doesn't mean I am alone!' Naruto got up and wore a confident smirk. He immediately went on fighting pose.

"Oh? The demon wants to fight?" Mizuki chuckled. "You know one blow from you and the council will instantly order your execution. No one will noticed you're gone because no one CARES!!" Mizuki laughed maniacly. Suddenly, he felt a hard blow on his back. "Gyaah!!" Mizuki fell face first onto the ground. He turned around and saw a fox growling at him. His fur stood up to the edges means he's clearly NOT happy. "You useless mutt!" Mizuki spat. Kouhei's eyebrow twitch. 'Useless…MUTT??' "Oh THAT'S IT!! I'm gonna shovel your eyes out of it's socket!!" Kouhei lung himself towards the startled Mizuki.

"Kou, stop."

Kouhei halted to stop. He, Mizuki and Iruka looked at Naruto who's gathering lots of blue chakra. "No one dare to used me and gets away with it! Tajuu kage bushin no jutsu!" Thosands of Naruto surround Mizuki. "Y…You d…demon! Stay back!" The terrified chuunin stuttered as he step back. Out of corner of his eyes, he spotted Iruka standing a distance away from him. 'Of course… the demon's weakness…' Mizuki jumped out of the crowd of Naruto and headed to a startled Iruka. Iruka tried to jump off but it's too late. Mizuki went behind him and holds a kunai at his throat. "Hahaha!! You see this demon?! One more step and you'll cause the death of the one and only person who cares for you!!" All of the Naruto stop on their tracks. Mizuki laughed thought that he now found the demon's weakness. "Oh really?" Iruka suddenly asked before clouds of white smoke appeared. "What the-?!" the alarmed chuunin was shocked when four kunais stabbed each of his arms and legs. He instantly became numb. 'I…I can't feel my arms and legs!'

"You know Mizuki, you should learn which is a henge and which is the real one." Naruto stood where 'Iruka' previously stand. "You not only attempted to steal the forbidden scroll, you also tried to harm a Konoha shinobi. As your punishment…" Naruto cracked his knuckles as Kouhei bared his fangs and growled. His clones smirk darkly. "We'll beat you up until you beg that you're in hell now…" Naruto said and all the clones, and Kouhei, lunged towards the paled chuunin and… well, how about we skip the part where Mizuki got his 'punishment'.

xxXXxx

"Iruka-sensei, doijoubu?" Naruto asked Iruka on a tree branch his clone brought Iruka to. "Well, I was startle when your clone suddenly grabbed me." He laughed. Naruto wasn't. "How's your back?" he asked almost a whisper. "Huh? Oh, the wound." Iruka somehow forgotten about about his injuries. "It's fine, I think." He accidentally touched the wound and winced. "Let's go to the hospital." Naruto helped Iruka to exit the forest.

'Kit, you forgot something…'

'Oh yeah! Kouhei!' Kouhei popped out of nowhere and jumped on Naruto'sshoulder.

'No not him. Actually, it's good if you left him behind…'

'KYUU…BI…' the nine-tailed gulped.

'What Kyuubi? Mizuki will be captured after we reported back to Ojii-san. It'll take him forever to loosen the rope.'

'Yeah, since you destroy his limb. Kit! You forgot something important!'

'What?!'

'The scroll!'

"Oh, Fuck!" Naruto made a kage bushin and retrieve the scroll. "That was close…" Iruka muttered. "Yeah… good thing there's the kage…bushin…" Naruto trailed off and his eyes widen. 'That's it!' "What's wrong, Naruto?" Iruka looked at Naruto with concerned. "Oh, nothing special." Naruto said with a smile. Iruka frowned. "Please don't tell me you've got a new prank to play…" Iruka leered at the blond boy. "Aw… you caught me." Naruto said sarcastically. "When are you going to learn?" Poor Iruka… If only you know what chaos Naruto's going to cause…

(Hokage's office)

"Hmm… Naruto never told me he got a new pet." Sandaime said to himself as he watch Naruto and Iruka made their way to Konoha Hospital through his crystal ball. He had almost charged to the forest and skinned the traitor alive when he told Naruto the truth about that night. "Hmm… Naruto took the news surprisingly calm. Must be Iruka's action…" he mumbled and went outside of the hokage's tower. He called all the jounins and chuunins thet was sent to retrieved Naruto and the scroll back.

"The scroll is safe! Uzumaki Naruto was use to steal the scroll. The real culprit is Mizuki!" The shinobi started to whispered to each other. "Thank you all for your co-operations. You are all dismiss!" Everyone jumped off and returned to their respective home.

As Sarutobi made his way back to his office, an Anbu appeared beside him. "Search the forest. Find a terribly beaten up chuunin with light blue hair. He's tied up to a tree trunk. Shove him into the jail immeadietly." The Hokage ordered with fury in his voice.

"Hait, Hokage-sama," and the Anbu disappeared. Sandaime enter his office and slumped on his chair. "Hmm… should I let Ibiki torture him mentally or Anko torture him physically?" The hokage spend the rest of the night choosing who to torture the unsuspected chuunin.

He decided…

Both.

Sorry, I'm no good with fighting scene.

Anyway, read and review.

Thanx for reading.
