Things to know before reading.

1.) How to read this fic. (No I'm not insulting your intelligence level. I'm just giving a template for easier reading.)

Normal writing.

"Character speaking."

Flashback -Start / Flashback -End

"Dramatic speaking" (used for strong emotion, or a Bijuu/Summon talking.)

POV (point of view change notice, followed by the character's name.)

(knock) (Knock) (knock). I awaken to the sound of somebody knocking on my apartment door. I quickly throw on the uniform I was wearing earlier today when I was out with Kurenai and Asuma at the barbecue restaurant. Then I remembered why I left early. I looked to my left and saw the disposable camera I used to take pictures of the Hoakge monument the Uzumaki kid had pranked. I put on my shades and chuckled as I opened the door. The out of breath chunin in front of me wasn't nearly as amused as I was. He looked to be in his early to mid thirties and was sporting an eye patch over his left eye.

"Who might you be?" I asked him in a business like tone.

"I'm Akame Iwana. The Uzumaki brat stole the Forbidden Scroll. The Hokage wants 'you' specifically to find him."

I could tell by his tone that he wasn't a fan of Konoha's resident jinchuuriki. If it weren't for Hokage-sama's law I bet Akame-yaro would've used a different word other than 'brat' to describe Uzumaki. Me personally I have nothing against demon containers. Over the course of my shinobi career I have bore witness to how several jinchuuriki were treated by their villages. I've seen war criminals and prisoners of war treated with more respect than jinchuuriki. The look in someones eyes when they reject a persons very existence could freeze an active volcano. Which is why I have no intention of letting the 'search party' get to Uzumaki before I do.

"I'll send word to Hokage-sama when I find Uzumaki. Don't send any mobs out just yet."

Akame nodded before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

I closed my door behind me and leaped on top of the roof to my apartment. My apartment being somewhat close to the center of the village gave me a pretty good view of the village as a whole. Fortunately I live near the hospital, unfortunately I hate hospitals so it's a sobering sight to look at. I turned so I was facing the Hokage monument, where a forest lays above it and stretches for miles. Simply put, If I were trying to elude pursuers I wouldn't do it in Konoha proper. So I bit my thumb and wiped some blood across my palms. After a few handseals I slammed my bloodied left palm on the ground. "Kuchiyose: Kokoro no-jutsu." After uttering the words of my technique, a wagon sized cloud of smoke erupted around me. The smoke began to disperse and take the shape of a murder of crows. I sat down in a meditative pose, closing my eyes from behind my shades, and strung together another set of handseals. "Goukan Renkei no-jutsu." My senses were replaced with several versions of what the crows were sensing. I chose to focus on the sensations of the crow in front of the murder. With a simple mental command the crows took to the night sky in the direction of the forest beyond the Hokage monument.

Normally a summoning jutsu acts as a bridge from the summon realm to ours, in theory anyway. From my extensive study of the 'Kage Bunshin no-jutsu' I learned how to create 'clone' bodies for the conciseness of my crows using the leftover chakra from the summoning smoke. The advantage to this type of summoning is that I can link my senses to multiple crows and switch between which crow I'm focusing on due to the fact that they are created from my own chakra. It's similar to how a 'kage bunshin' sends memories back to it's creator, only it's happening in real time. This combo jutsu is one of the reasons I became a Captain of an Anbu reconnaissance unit. The other reason being the crows themselves.

Think about for a second, crows are 'everywhere'. So it's not out of place to see them flying around big cities, rural areas, and especially scenes of battle. Crows are scavengers which makes them useful for disposing of bodies in undetectable ways. Nobody would think twice about seeing a crow on a battlefield, they would probably be under the impression that the crow was there for a quick meal. The real weakness to my combo jutsu is that I have to be stationary and focused to sense what the crows are sensing.

I just hope that I find Uzumaki before the antsy chunin patrol does.

POV - (Iruka)

" Naruto why did you do it?" I said to myself as I jumped from rooftop to rooftop searching for my wayward student. Then it occurred to me that Naruto wouldn't be in the village proper. If he was he would have been found by somebody by now, after all I was the one who brought him back to the classroom earlier in time for the final exam. So I redoubled my efforts and took long chakra fueled leaps towards the forest beyond the Hokage monument. It wasn't until twenty minutes into my search of the dense forest that I saw signs of human movement. So I landed on a thick tree branch that had a few snapped twigs and footprints. I committed the prints to memory and jumped to the next tree directly ahead of me. Sure enough, there were more snapped twigs and footprints.

"Iruka is that you?"

I looked around for the source of the voice. It sounded just like Ryuuji, and it seemed to come from above me. I looked up and sure enough a lone crow descended from the sky and perched on a stable twig next to my left shoulder.

"I take it you found a trail." The 'crow' said to me with it's beak wide open as though it were a loudspeaker.

"Is this some sort of 'Henge no-jutsu'?" I asked as I stared at the little bird intently.

"No. It's a special type of summon I'm talking through. Various species of bird can mimic human voices, I'll tell you more about it later."

I snapped out of my transfixed stupor. "Right. I found Naruto's trail. What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to have this crow follow you from the sky silently, while I send another crow to the Hokage. I want you to be on the lookout for the traitor who put the idea of stealing the Forbidden Scroll into Naruto's head."

"What?" I asked not believing what I'm hearing.

"Think about it Iruka. I highly doubt 'Knowledge of Konoha's Secret Scrolls, and How to Steal Them' is on the Ninja Academy curriculum. I riddled it out not to long ago, just before my 'eye in the sky' found you."

I mentally started kicking myself for not figuring it out myself. "Do you know who it is?"

"Probably someone who is affiliated with the academy. The academy is right next to the Hokage Tower where the scroll was taken, and Uzumaki makes a convenient scapegoat seeing as he is known for pulling 'off the wall' pranks. An academy affiliate would be within close proximity to the scroll, and would know Uzumaki well enough to convince him to steal it."

I thought over Ryuuji's reasoning and only one person matches that description. "It's Mizuki. I'm going to continue the search now."

The crow nodded before taking to the skies above me.

"Naruto please be safe. I'm on my way." I said to myself as I continued my pace of following Naruto's trail.

POV - (Ryuuji)

"Ryuuji I want you to stop Mizuki at 'all costs.' You have permission to use lethal force if necessary. The Scroll of Sealing 'cannot' fall into his hands." Hokage-sama said to the crow, in front of his scrying ball.

"Hai. Hokage-sama." I said to him through my crow before it dispelled itself. Afterwards I focused my attention on the crow following Iruka since it had been over ten minutes since I contacted him.

From what I could see through my crow. Iruka was pinned to the wall of a shed. A short distance from him was a boy roughly four feet tall. He had bright, blonde hair, spiked in every direction over a pair of green goggles. He was wearing a strange orange jumpsuit with blue accents. The boy was wide eyed in shock, and desperately clinging to the forbidden scroll as though it were a lifeline. Mizuki was standing on a tree branch looking over them.

"Naruto haven't you ever wanted to know why everybody in the village hates you?" Mizuki asked, looking directly at the terrified blonde.

Iruka glared at Mizuki. "Mizuki don't say it."

It was all I needed to see. Mizuki clearly intended on breaking Hokage-sama's law, and killing fellow Konoha nins. So I formed a handseal and forcefully dispelled the crow watching the scene, sending it's memories to the rest of the murder. Then I divided my focus amongst the remainder of the crows, and gave them the command to congregate near the location of the crow I just dispelled. While waiting for my crows to reach their destination, I temporarily disconnected my senses from the crows and headed back into my apartment. It didn't take me long to find my custom made zatoichi. It was hidden next to my futon, underneath a loose floorboard. I quickly retrieved it from it's hiding place, and slung it over my right shoulder and fastened it in place with the strap. If it weren't for the strap I added to it, it could be mistaken for a walking stick.

"Now all I can do is wait." I said to nobody in particular as I crouched down on my right knee. I formed a few handseals and closed my eyes, then I reestablished contact with my crows senses. That was when I saw Mizuki preparing to launch a giant fuma shuriken at Uzumaki. I quickly formed a different set of handseals, this sequence being longer than my previous jutsu. "Kuchiyose: Kuro-Shunshin." I felt the sensation of feathers swirling around me before I disappeared from my apartment.

POV - (Iruka)

Just as Mizuki was about to launch his giant shuriken he pulled back at the last second. I wondered why until I heard a strange 'cawing' sound coming from a murder of crows circling overhead. The crows suddenly started circling their way towards the ground building up speed until all I could see in front of me was a miniature black tornado. The tornado slowly dissipated in place, revealing the silhouette of a man. The silhouette took the shape of Gekkou Ryuuji, and all that was left of the tornado was a small cascade of feathers, which were carried away by a small breeze.

"Who the fuck are you." Mizuki practically snarled at Ryuuji.

Ryuuji grasped the top of what appeared to be a solid black walking stick that was strapped to his back. "I am your sentence. Your death sentence, as decreed by the Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen."

I shivered at the utter lack of emotion in Ryuuji's voice. While I couldn't see his facial features, he sounded like he wasn't joking. Mizuki thought the same.

"Naruto is the one who stole the scroll...See he has it on his back right now." Mizuki said pointing at Naruto.

Ryuuji turned around, his expression neutral. Until he gave Naruto and I a brief reassuring smirk. "Iruka get Uzumaki out of here. The scroll is secure and Hokage-sama knows he's innocent." Despite the goofy smirk he gave us, he kept his tone deadly serious.

That's when I saw it. Mizuki had launched his shuriken directly at Ryuuji's back. Before I could even shout out a warning, Ryuuji drew a straight bladed sword out of what I now knew to be a sheath on his back. He spun around to his right with blinding speed, and he made an upwards diagonal slash with his blade. It cut clean through the giant shuriken like scissors to paper, and sent the two halves careening off in different directions to the side of him.

"I was hoping you would do that." Ryuuji said very smugly.

Mizuki fell out his tree in shock, and began backing away. "H..HH..How did you."

Ryuuji scoffed. "Like I'm going to tell you how I do anything." Then Ryuuji's gaze fell on Naruto. "Hey Uzumaki. You up for beating the crap out of the loser who ruined your day. He did try to kill you, and Iruka-sensei."

I looked over at Naruto and noticed the feral smirk on his face. Mizuki stood up and laughed.

"I may not have anymore shuriken. But I can still kill the Kyuubi brat in one shot."

Naruto responded by crossing his fingers in a weird pattern. "Just try it. I'll return it a thousand fold. 'Tajuu Kagebunshin no-jutsu'."

I looked on in shock as the clearing went up in smoke. Once the smoke disappeared, you couldn't look two feet in any direction without seeing several dozen naruto's in every tree, bush, or previously empty space grinning like a maniac. Then they descended on Mizuki and proceeded to bludgeon him several hundred times over.

"Those aren't illusions. They're real copies. Ryuuji how could you have known he could do that." I looked over to see if he was seeing this too. I wasn't expecting his eyebrows to stretch over his sunglasses and touch his hairline. Evidently he was as surprised as I was.

"I had no freaking clue that Uzumaki could create any clones. Let alone an 'army' of the damn things. I figured he would pummel Mizuki street fighter style, while I made sure there wouldn't be any nasty surprises."

I wondered exactly how he would do that. Then I noticed a crow in a tree devoid of Naruto's with it's beady eyes trained on Mizuki.

"Ryuuji that crow saw the shuriken coming at you and somehow non-verbally signaled you, didn't it?"

Ryuuji grinned while holding up the peace sign with his right hand. "When the feathers from my jutsu blew away, they reformed into a crow outside of Mizuki's line of sight and kept a watchful eye on him."

It was then that I noticed the silence of the clearing. Naruto approached us with a goofy grin plastered to his face. Twenty feet behind him Mizuki lay beaten, broken, and bloody, yet somehow alive. "Guess I overdid it huh?" Naruto scratched the back of his head nervously. I was about to respond when I noticed Ryuuji sheathed his sword, and took a scroll out of one of the pockets on his jounin vest. Then he walked over to me and ran a finger over one of my injuries.

"Ow. What was that for?" I glared at him, while Naruto looked on in confusion.

"Thanks for saving Iruka sensei, but what did he do to you?" Naruto asked not knowing whether to be mad or grateful.

Ryuuji ignored us both and opened the scroll smearing 'my' blood over one of the written kanji. There was a 'poof' of smoke and a bottle of what I recognized as soldier pills popped out. "You already had blood on you so I figured 'why let it go to waste'?" Then Ryuuji popped a pill in his mouth and formed a familiar set of handseals for a medical ninjutsu. Sure enough his hands glowed the familiar green for a medical technique. I was impressed, I didn't know he knew medical ninjutsu.

"When on a solo mission, gathering intelligence in a foreign land. There isn't going to be anybody around to help you if you get hurt. Learning medical ninjutsu has easily been the wisest decision I've ever made." He said as began healing one of my injuries.

"I understand that. But why carry scrolls that anybodies blood could open?" I was also tempted to ask him why he wears sunglasses at night.

"If I'm with a team and I get injured or killed, then they will have access to my gear. If I'm by myself and I can't make a tactical retreat, then it really wont matter who has access to my gear when I'm dead, now will it? I suggest you be quiet, I'm good but I'm not a genuine medical ninja."

I remained silent as Ryuuji continued to heal my injuries. Naruto was getting slightly fidgety remaining in place, watching in silence as I was being healed. Tension only continued to mount until twenty minutes later when Ryuuji canceled his jutsu, and wiped sweat off of his forehead.

"Good as slightly used. Not my best in-field patch job, but it will do long enough until a real medic gets a look at you." I chuckled and winced slightly. Ryuuji continued. "I'm going to relay a message to Hokage-sama. You two obviously have a lot to talk about." He pocketed his bottle of soldier pills, then he formed the handseals for a shunshin and vanished in a swirl of leaves just as the sun was beginning to shine. The light shining through the trees was actually quite breathtaking. So I decided now was as good a time as any to reward Naruto for showing me what it truly means to be a Konoha ninja.

"Hey Naruto close your eyes." Naruto closed his eyes and I slowly got up and walked over to him. I removed my Hitate from my forehead and placed it over his after removing those weird goggles. "You can open your eyes now." As soon as I said it, he reached up and touched the Konoha symbol on 'his' new Hitate. "Congratulations Naruto You graduate." One of the perks of being an academy instructor was that I had the authority to make decisions like this one. The other perk was seeing Naruto's eyes well up with tears of joy before he hugged me in a flying tackle. I fell over and returned the embrace. While I could tell him some of the horror stories involved with being a shinobi, I decided 'why ruin the moment'. I could always tell him later over a bowl of ramen.

POV - (Ryuuji)

Two hours had passed since I left Uzumaki and Iruka in the forest. Iruka had been transported to the hospital Uzumaki had refused to leave his side. I observed this through Hokage-sama's scrying ball. I had already given Hokage-sama my report. I was beginning to understand why he hates paperwork so much.

"Ryuuji your actions when confronting Mizuki were unorthodox to say the least. Please explain them in greater detail."

Hokage-sama was right to question my actions. From the point of view of his scrying ball, it appeared as though I made a needlessly flashy entrance, that I recklessly exposed my back to the enemy, and allowed an academy student to confront his chunin instructor. "While I could have appeared out of visual range and stealthily incapacitated Mizuki. I knew I wouldn't have been able to stop him from attacking Iruka and Uzumaki in time. My technique distracted him, obscured his line of sight, allowing me to conceal a jutsu. I also was placed between him and his intended targets should he launch an attack."

Hokage-sama nodded and I continued. "While I did expose my back to Mizuki. I accomplished two things when I did. First I was able to secretly signal my intentions to Uzumaki and Iruka. The second thing was to draw out Mizuki's ranged weapon. While I could easily dispatch Mizuki in one on one combat, there was always the chance he could throw his shuriken and hit either Uzumaki or Iruka. So I had the re-summoned crow I concealed with my entrance keep an eye on Mizuki, and alert me when he made any motion to attack. When he did, I channelled wind chakra through my blade and rendered his weapon useless."

Hokage-sama seemed satisfied with that part of my explanation yet he gave me a hard look. "That still doesn't explain why you allowed Naruto to confront Mizuki."

Truthfully I didn't have a tactical reason for suggesting that to the kid. I had an even better reason. "Uzumaki has been lied to his whole life. He has been neglected, shunned, and shooe'd away whenever he made any attempt at human contact. What Mizuki did by getting that kid to trust him, only to use him like a tool was beyond disgusting. I gave Uzuma..no I gave 'Naruto' the chance to prove to himself that he wasn't what Mizuki said he was. There's no telling what kind of damage Mizuki could have inflicted to his psyche. All I did was make sure that the kid wouldn't get hurt. If Mizuki tried to fight back for even a second I would have intervened."

The Hokage's expression was still hardened. "Professionally I can't condone what you did." Then he smiled. "Personally, you did the right thing." His next reaction was comical to say the least. He was pretending he had Alzheimer's. "Oh and it appears as though I have misplaced your report. I must be getting forgetful in my old age. Now tell me again, how did Naruto slip past you and confront Mizuki?"

So I gave Hokage-sama my report 'again'. This time Naruto 'slipped past me' while I was making sure the shuriken I sliced in half didn't hit Iruka by mistake.

We went over that report for hours making sure it was airtight in case anyone tried to look for discrepancies. When I left the Hokage's office I was forced to 'walk' home because I was exhausted.

In case you forgot I have been using shinshin all day, I created a shadow clone to talk with Iruka, I used an original jutsu that combines kage bunshin with a kuchiyose, I used another original jutsu that links my senses to my summons, I used an original long distance shunshin, I re-summoned another crow, then I used wind element chakra to slice a giant shuriken in half. I was forced to take a soldier pill in order to patch Iruka up. You add all that up and you get one nearly chakra exhausted Gekkou Ryuuji. Naturally I passed out on my futon after locking up my apartment.

I had no Idea what time it was when I woke up. All I knew was that the sun was out, and that I reeked. Which made sense considering what happened last night, and I hadn't changed out of my uniform. So I took a quick shower and dressed up in a pair of plain black shorts, a blue shirt and a pair of blue shinobi sandals. Whether it matched, or looked good on me I could care less. Then I put on my shades and scooped up all of my dirty, non shinobi specific laundry and headed out to the laundromat on the bottom floor of the complex. I could clean up my ninja wear later. That was when I was stopped outside by a man wearing a grayish white uniform. He had a bandage across his nose. His hair was darker and spikier than mine. His name was Hagane Kotetsu. He was one of the Hokage's little henchmen as I liked to call them.

"Yo. Ryuuji-san. Hokage-sama requests your presence." He said in a casual voice. He's seen men enough times at the Hokage tower.

I opened my apartment door and nonchalantly threw my laundry inside before locking it back up. He raised an eyebrow. I shrugged. "You wouldn't be here if I could stroll into the Hokage tower at my leisure."

"True. But the way your dressed you might as well."

I said nothing as we both shunshined to the hokage tower.

Once inside the tower I walked up to room Kotetsu said I should be in. It was the scrying room I filed my mission report in last night. I walked in and noticed a few familiar faces. Asuma was wearing his uniform and was leaning against the wall to my right. Kurenai was next to him wearing her usual ensemble plus her jounin vest. Another jounin sensei was my old friend Shiranui Genma wearing his uniform plus the 'chewable' senbon. The rest of the jounin were people I might have seen at one time or another. You may be wondering why I keep mentioning what the other jounin were wearing. It was t emphasize how awkward I felt dressed in civilian clothing. As evidenced by the chuckles and scowls thrown my way.

Hokage-sama cleared his throat after raising his eyebrow in my general direction. "We are here today to decide which genin will be assigned to your cells. Shiranui Genma sensei of team one you may proceed."

I didn't bother paying attention to the names he called out, seeing as they weren't the genin I had in mind. In fact the genin Genma had picked were clan-less, and had average grades at best. While being clan-less isn't a bad thing, it does make learning the customs that come with being a shinobi more difficult. I suspected Genma didn't exactly 'volunteer' to become a sensei. Neither did I for that matter, at least I intend to take it seriously though.

Hokage-sama continued calling out the names of genin in chronological order based on squad numbers. While I did commit the names of the genin to memory, I didn't put a whole lot of effort into rationalizing the jounin's reasons for choosing them. Especially since virtually every jounin wanted Uchiha Sasuke in their cell. Not surprising really.

"Gekkou Ryuuji sensei of team seven."

Hearing my name brought me out of my musings. "I request that Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuuga Hinata, and Uzumaki Naruto be placed on my team." I took note of the whispers concerning the names of the genin I had chosen.

Hokage-sama clasped his fingers together in a calculating gesture. "I would like to hear your reason behind your peculiar choices."

I could tell that Hokage-sama was asking me to explain myself for the benefit of the other jounin. so I did. "I request Uchiha Sasuke due to the fact that I am on good terms with the Uchiha clan. I have worked with the Konoha Millitary Police before, and have even trained an Uchiha who shall remain nameless as a member of my reconnaissance unit."

Hokage-sama nodded for me to continue."I request Hyuuga Hinata because 'my' jounin sensei was a member of the Hyuuga clan. I have also trained a Hyuuga who shall also remain nameless for security reasons as a member of my reconnaissance unit." Now was the hard part. Explaining why I wanted Uzumaki Naruto on my team. "I request Uzumaki Naruto having witnessed first hand the effective utilization of a jounin level forbidden technique. The technique was none other than 'Kage Bunshin no-jutsu.' I have both learned and mastered most variants of this technique. I believe I could help Naruto to use this technique to it's fullest extent."

Hokage-sama gave me a knowing smile. He also directed that same smile to Asuma and Kurenai. He knew we put more effort into choosing our genin than the other jounin. "Very well Gekkou Ryuuji. I approve of your nominations." Then he turned his eyes to Kurenai. "Yuhi Kurenai sensei of team eight, you may proceed."

"I request Haruno Sakura, Aburame Shino, and Inuzuka Kiba to be placed on my team."

Nobody seemed to have any objections to her nominations. They would if they did the research on the genin ahead of time like we did. Kurenai intended to build a scouting and tracking team. Haruno would provide genjutsu as cover, Aburame and Inuzuka would track down and pursue. A good combination. Next was Asuma's turn despite the fact he was sensei of team ten. Team nine was still currently in rotation.

"Sarutobi Asuma of team ten."

Asuma cleared his throat from having remained silent and without a cigarette. "I request Yamanako Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Chouji."

"Very well." Hokage-sama said approvingly, before continuing. "We will reconvene tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning. The you will administer the final test to determine whether of not your genin are ready to join the ranks of Konoha shinobi. You are all dismissed."

Asuma, Kurenai, and I disappeared in a cloud of smoke simultaneously. We going to our favorite barbecue restaurant to discuss how were going to test our genin, and future combined team training exercises should our teams pass. I was already looking forward to good quality barbecue after the night I had.

Explanations

1.) Original jutsu

Kuchiyose: Kokoro no-jutsu. It's a jutsu that summons the consciousness of the intended animal in the body of a shadow clone, The body is made from the left over chakra in the summoning smoke. The jutsu's primary function is for reconnaissance purposes. The advantage to a summon having it's conciousness transfered into a clone body is the fact that if it is destroyed, the summon won't die. The summons mind will be sent back to it's own body. The summon's body takes on all of the characteristics of a shadow clone however.

Goukan Renkei no-jutsu. This is the jutsu that connects the users senses to a summoned animal. It uses the users own chakra as the connection, which is why the summoned animal has to made of the users chakra. While the user's senses are connected to a summon animal, the user can sense anything the animal senses as though the user were there. This jutsu also allows the user to transmit orders to all summon animals it is linked to, telepathically. The weakness of this jutsu is the fact that the user has to remain stationary for it to work, making unusable in battle.

Kuchiyose: Kuro Shunshin. This jutsu is a combination of a reverse summoning and the shunshin no jutsu. It allows the user to transport himself long distances using his chakra based summons as a medium. In order for the jutsu to work, the user has to have their senses connected to their summons to act as a homing beacon. This jutsu allows the user to 'teleport' anywhere the summons are. The weaknesses of the jutsu are the fact that the user has to use 'Goukan Renkei no-jutsu' for it to even work. The user also has to wait for the summons to converge on one singular location. This jutsu is also unusable in battle.

2.) Before writing off Ryuuji as a Mary Sue. Keep in mind that he's the same age as Asuma and Kurenai, a jounin, and a Anbu captain. While he is a skilled shinobi he won't be beating ninja's like Itachi, Orochimaru, or any of the 'big league badies' in Akatsuki. While he did make Mizuki look like a joke, lets face it compared to Kakashi, Gai, or any non-chunin Mizuki 'is' a joke. He was the first victim of Naruto's 'Kage Bunshin Clobbering.'

3.) Next chapter Ryuuji will be testing his genin. He won't be using the bell test. I have something more devious in mind.
