The Nightlight's Flash: Chapter 2

Today was the genin exams. Everyone woke up early in the morning to get prepared. Naruto however was the most excited. Today was going to be the day he shows everyone that he is not worthless, nor dead last. He then hurried to the academy.

"Today is exams! I will not fail!"

Timeskip-last test

"Okay!" Iruka announced, "The final test is to make two bunshins. Mizuki-sensei and I will call you in the other room to perform the jutsu. Once you completed it, you pass."

Naruto suddenly paled, 'that is my weakest area. Oh no.'

'I hope Naruto makes it...wait! That's the only thing I didn't help him with one that one...crap!'

Yokaze was finally called. She made her way into the other room and followed all the instructions. She created two perfect bunshins (Actually, she created two Kage Bunshins since her chakra levels were as high as Naruto's).

"Good, you pass Yokaze, would you call Naruto in?" Iruka graduated her.

She paled, and then nodded to her teachers, 'Naruto, you're going to be dead. I wish I taught you the Kage Bunshin earlier...'

Naruto POV:

He created a dead clone.

"You FAIL!" Iruka looked pretty pissed but inside, he felt bad for Naruto.

"Iruka-sensei let Naruto pass. He did at least 1 clone" Mizuki tried to convince Iruka.

Naruto brightened a bit.

"No, Mizuki-sensei, Naruto only had one clone. The expectations are two to pass. Also, the one he created was worthless."

Naruto stalked outside, upset that he failed.

Outside the Academy:

Children's parents were congratulating their children of how proud they were. Out of all that commotion, one blonde boy was sitting on a swing. He was the only one who didn't pass.

A silver-haired girl walked towards him, "Naruto, I'm so sorry that you didn't pass. It's my fault, I forgot to help you on the Bunshin no Jutsu."

"Nah! It's...okay Yokaze nee-chan." Naruto forced a smile.

"Naruto, I'll come to your house later. I promised Hokage-sama that after the exams, I would go help him sort some stuff. See you later." she left.

Mizuki walked up to Naruto, "Naruto," he whispered, "Go take the sealing scroll to me in to woods, then you'll pass after you learn one of the jutsus in there."

"Okay!"

Xxxxx


Then was a loud banging on Iruka's door, "Iruka-sensei! Naruto has taken the sealing scroll from the Hokage's office!"

"What?" he cried

Xxxxx

Yokaze was taking some boxes to the Hokage's office when she found the Hokage lying on the ground with a huge nosebleed, 'Naruto!'the only person who knee that jutsu was him.

She could sense Naruto's chakra leaving the scroll room then outside. 'Damn!' she followed the trail until she found Naruto in a deep forest. Yokaze gasped. Naruto had the sealing scroll with him!

"Hey, Naruto, what are you doing here?" she jumped to the blonde's side.

"Mizuki-sensei told me about this scroll and he also told me about this place. Then if I showed Iruka-sensei one of these techniques, he'll have to let me pass!" Yokaze had a suspicious look on her face.

She sensed something coming out of the woods, "Naruto, move!" Naruto had no idea of what was going on. Yokaze had pushed him out of the way just when several kunai were about to hit him. Instead, she got hit in the process and was now bleeding.

"Mizuki!"

"Heh, heh. Yokaze, I never would of thought you had the potential to find me. I'm impressed. But after I kill him, I'll deal with you." Mizuki turned to the other student. Then he heard a growl, "No one will hurt him!" Even for a young teen, she sure looked scary. Mizuki froze in his steps, not knowing what to do. Though, he forced himself to think of an idea, "Yokaze, do you know why everyone hates Naruto?" Yokaze did not know what he meant, "I don't care! Naruto run!"

Unfortunately, Naruto didn't hear her, "Why?" he asked Mizuki. "There was this one rule that only you would not know." both children looked shocked, "You are the Nine Tails Demon Fox!" this time, the blonde boy couldn't think straight. He was the Nine Tails Fox? "Naruto, don't listen to him! I don't know what is going on but just run!" Without hesitation, he left clinging tightly to the scroll.

Mizuki was about to chase after him, but suddenly, a kana threatened him to stop, "Mizuki, he is not the Nine Tails Demon Fox. I believe that it's impossible for him to be. He would never go on a rampage to kill! He is Uzumaki Naruto! My best friend! He is kind and friendly! He is not that stupid fox!" She stabbed in with his own kunai.

Mizuki just smirked. He kicked the silver-haired girl away. To his surprise, she disappeared. "Behind you" she said. Without anytime to react, he was slammed into a tree. The conclusion? It was a log that slammed into the tree. 'Damn it! Kawimii no jutsu!' Yokaze felt a sharp item stab her back. Another kunai! 'Before I get killed by him, I'll die from all this blood loss! No! He's going after Naruto! Gotta find him qui-oww, dammit...'she thought

Xxxxx

Mizuki spotted Naruto hiding behind a tree, crying at the words that Yokaze had just said, "Aha! Here's my chance to get rid of him, once and for all!" he untied a giant shuriken from his back and aimed it to kill Naruto. He launched the giant weapon at the boy. A blur came from the darkness.

"What?" he screamed out loud.

Yokaze was infront of Naruto, shielding him from the deadly weapon. Incase no one noticed, there was a huge shuriken stuck in her back, "Naruto...(cough) run..." she was coughing out blood at every word. Naruto cried again, "Why? You're going to kill yourself!"

She forced a smile, "Because...you're the only person I care for the most, Naruto, I will not let you die. You are the most important thing to me. Now run...don't worry about me..." those last words, Naruto forced himself to flee but soon stopped.

Xxxxx

Iruka had just arrived to see one of his students fall by his best friend. He was shocked to see that Yokaze had risked everything to save Naruto.

Xxxxx

Mizuki threw his second and final shuriken. This time, Iruka blocked it. Again, Naruto started to cry and ask why. The answer was the same as the last. Iruka too coughed out blood and ordered him to run. Fortunately, Yokaze came back. Using her last bit of strength, she screamed, "Naruto! Kaju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

Naruto crawled out from under his teacher. He put his hands into a cross seal, "Kaju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" three hundred perfect clones of him appeared. Both Iruka's and Mizuki's mouths were wide open.

Unfortunately, Mizuki was the one that was beaten up by the clones.

"Yippe! Iruka-sensei, did you see that? I defeated him! A chunnin!"

"Naruto, come here and close your eyes." Iruka gestured

The blonde looked confused but obeyed and closed his eyes. He felt his goggles being removed and something replaced it.

"You can open your eyes now."

Naruto opened his eyes to see that Iruka's hitate was gone. He reached for his own forehead. His goggles were replaced by the hitate.

"You pass!"

"Yay! Thank-you Iruka-sensei!" he hugged his sensei.

Yokaze smiled at the two. This was a real smile. And the first one in a long time. Iruka turned to her, surprised to see that expression on her. He had never truly seen her smile. The man also replied with a heartwarming smile.

Oi! I'm finally back from...oh wait...it's only been a week and a few days...never mind. So, how do you think about this chapter? Just a parody of the real one so many things are different.

Anyways, I was supoused to reveal myself but that is going to be delayed for a while I guess. Review and tell me how it was! Thanks!

Reminder: I will be needing some new ideas for my other stories; Flaming Fox Adopted and Past and Future Collides. PM me if you have any ideas.
