Kyuubi Talking
Kyuubi was awake and chearing in her son's mind. 'Naruto, don't worry, you can do it! It's just a simple clone jutsu! I mean, if you can do that disgusting 'Sexy Jutsu', you can do a clone jutsu! Go my sweet little Naru-kun!'Naruto blinked and sighed. 'Moooooooooom. Shut up.'He said. Kyuubi sighed, and then sat in the back of her cage, waiting for Naruto's turn. Naruto sighed. A clone appeared, but half-dead. Kyuubi sighed. 'Oh my dear sweet Naru-kun. It's alright. We'll ask Iruka for another chance later. Don't worry.' Kyuubi said. Naruto just sighed and left the room. Kyuubi went to the back of her cage to give Naruto some time alone.
That's when Mizuki got ahold of Naruto. While Kyuubi was quietly sleeping away, Naruto was being informed of a second way to pass. Naruto started to sneak out of the tower with the scroll, when Kyuubi woke up 'Naruto... What are you doing?' Naruto flinched. 'Well, um, well, Mizuki-sensei told me of a second way to pass.' He said, slipping into an alleyway and quietly jogging down it. 'A Second way to pass?.. Naruto, as far as I know, there is no other way. Did you speak to Iruka, or the Third about this?' Kyuubi questioned. Naruto dodged the glance of a couple of chunin and then slipped out of the village. '.. No, but, Mizuki-sensei knows what he's talking about.' He said, jumping over a fallen tree. '.. I sure hope so, because if this goes badly, you will not be the one to suffer.' Kyuubi said dangerously. She went back to the back of her cage, but she stood awake, watching what was going on. Naruto sat outside a shack and unrolled the scroll. " Mizuki-sensei said I have to learn a jutsu from this scroll to pass..." Naruto went quiet. 'Something wrong?' Naruto shook his head. "Just something a little funny. The first one is multi-shadow clone jutsu. 'ha. Talk about irony.' Kyuubi chuckled. Naruto just made a face, and began studying the scroll. "mom, I think I've got it!" Naruto squealed. Kyuubi smiled. "Great job, Naruto!" She said proudly.
"NARUTO!" Iruka appeared. Kyuubi's fur stood up on end. "I have a bad feeling about this. You should've cleared it with the Third Hokage first. You shouldn't have trusted Mizuki. There's always been something wrong with that man. ' Kyuubi said. 'It's alright mom. I'll see you later. okay?' Kyuubi sighed, and then curled up to nap. "Naruto, why'd you take the forbidden scroll?"
"well, If I learn one of these jutsu, I pass, right? Well, i learned. and you'll pass me now. Right?" Naruto asked. Iruka blinked. "What?" A flury of kunai rained down on Iruka and Naruto. Iruka pushed Naruto out of the way. "Mizuki!" Kyuubi woke up and flicked her ears. 'what... Did that... Naruto. Get out of there. GET OUT.' Kyuubi growled. Naruto shook his head 'IRUKA-SENSEI!'He argued. Kyuubi was plainly irritated. Then Iruka saved Naruto. She stopped growling, and found that she truly appreciated Iruka for caring for her beloved son. Kyuubi laid her head down on her paws, and waited for what came next.
-FF to Next Day-
'I'm so proud of you, Naruto! For celebration, I'm making all your favorites tonight! Oh, you did so well. All those clones. That fool of a 'shinobi', if you can call him that, didn't stand a chance!' Kyuubi was puffed with pride. Naruto just laughed. 'But Iruka and I are going out for ramen.' Kyuubi de-puffed a little. 'Fine. I'll cook tomorrow.' 'Mom, it's a wonder I don't look like a akimichi.[sp' '.. ha ha ha.' Kyuubi said. Naruto laughed. Iruka gave him a look. " Naruto, what's so funny?" Naruto grinned. "Just mo- er, Momo. It's a.. comic I was looking at yesterday. I just remembered it." Naruto quickly lied. "I'll see you later!" Naruto grinned, running off to his aparment. Iruka blinked. " Was Naruto about to say 'mom' ?"
