Chapter four ^^

Happy reading

Iruka then pushed Naruto out of the way of the on coming shuriken and kunai

came at them

"That's gonna scar, you psycho." Naruto said after seeing a kunai stuck in Iruka's leg.

'Naruto, what ever you do don't let go of that scroll' Minato said.

He then looked between the two teachers knowing it was about it get ugly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Start Chapter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So I see he told you everything." Mizuki's voice was coming from above them. Looking up, the three saw Mizuki.

"I should have known." said Iruka, while looking between Mizuki and Naruto.

"Naruto, give me the scroll, Now!" Mizuki demanded as he held out his hand. Naruto looked confused at the tree men in front of him.

"Wait a minute, what's going on?" Naruto asked as he finally understood what was happening.

'Naruto, that scroll your holding contains forbidden jutsus that the village in great danger!'The fourth said looking at his son.

"Mizuki used you to get the scroll for his own power." Iruka said as he moved in between the two.

"Whose bright idea was to put all of Konoha's forbidden jutsus in one scroll in the first place?" Naruto asked looking at his father, who just rubbed the back of his neck. "Smooth.' Naruto said under his breath.

'It seemed like a good idea at the time.'Minato said looking at Naruto, who looked at him with narrow eyes.

"Yeah, so did stealing the scroll, and you see what mess we are in" Naruto said as he moved his gaze back to Mizuki.

"Naruto, Iruka is telling you lies. He is just jealous that he can't use the jutsus in it. And stop talking to yourself, people will think your crazy!" Mizuki said while looking around for some ANBU he might have missed

"Mizuki-sensei, are your sure that this scroll isn't some super secret jutsus, that are forbidden? I mean it's called The Forbidden Scroll of Sealing for a reason." Naruto said as he moved the scroll in front of him.

"How do you know that name?" Mizuki and Iruka said looking at the boy.

"It's right here." Naruto said as he pointed to a label on the front of the scroll. In huge block letters were the words 'Forbidden Scroll of Sealing' in red. Next to the words was a 'beware' sign.

'That's my son for you, pointing out the obvious, though the beware sticker is new.'Minato said looking at said boy.

"Well I thought that it looked better this way." Naruto said rubbing the back of his neck, and beaming with pride.

"Now is not the time to be praising him, I mean he just stole that." Iruka said as he pointed to the scroll.

"I'll tell you a secret that everyone expect you know." said Mizuki.

"No it's forbidden!" Iruka yelled at the other teacher.

"No one is to tell you that the nine-tails is in you! Mizuki said with his voice dripping with hatred.

"I know." Naruto said as he looked at his feet.

"WHAT!" All three men shouted at the same time.

"That's a topic for another time." Iruka said looking at Minato.

'I agree. I would like to know whose dreams I will be haunting for a while!'Minato said as he looked towards the village.

"You sound like mom." Naruto said looking at his father.

"DIE NARUTO!" Mizuki shouted as he pulled a Fuma Shuriken from bind him, and threw it at Naruto. Naruto, seeing the shuriken headed for him; ready himself for impact by closing his eyes. When impact never came, Naruto opened his eyes, he saw Minato and Iruka standing there, shielding him. The Fuma Shuriken was in Iruka's back.

"You know Naruto; we are the same, you and I. After my parents died, I could see people who had passed on, just like you. The only attention I wanted was that of the living, so I became the class clown. My grades started to suffer. I would get into trouble, and I would have to pay for it later. I was so lonely because I could see lost loved ones, but I couldn't see my parents. I grew up thinking I was a freak, and that there was something was wrong with me. I saw that you were going though the same thing as me, and I should have been there for you more. I'm sorry; no one should have to suffer that." Iruka was looking down at Naruto. He was crying so hard that tears were landing on Naruto.

"Don't make me laugh. Iruka always hated you, because the nine-tails killed his parents. And the beast is now inside you. He would say anything to get the scroll." Mizuki said with laughter in his voice.

'Naruto, you don't really believe that, do you?'Minato asked when Naruto nodded his name no; he continued 'Good, here's the plan. Naruto, run to the big oak, and hide the scroll in it, then find yourself a hiding spot near the edge of the forest. Iruka, when Naruto runs off, call after him, and make it look convincing. Then go after him. GO!'Minato shouted the last word at Naruto.

"NARUTO, NARUTO!" Iruka yelled as said boy ran from his teachers.

"You know, once he makes up his mind, nothing going to change it. He's going to use the scroll to get revenge on the village. You saw that look in his eyes, didn't you? Those were the eyes of a beast." Mizuki said as he jumped from the tree.

"No, Naruto isn't like that!" Iruka said as he pulled the Fuma Shuriken from his back and threw at the other teacher, which he dodged with ease.

"You're a joke! After I eliminate Naruto and take the scroll, I'll come back for you." Mizuki said as he disappeared.

"I won't let you. Hokage-samma, where is that tree you were talking about." Iruka asked as he headed the way Naruto went.

'Just up ahead, on the left. When you get the scroll, turn yourself into Naruto.'

"Kay." Iruka said as he got to the tree with the scroll hidden inside it.

'You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say, can and will be used against you in a court of law.'Minato said as he floated next to Iruka.

"What are you doing?" Iruka said looking at the ghost.

'Getting it out of the way.'

"You know he can't hear you, right?"

'I know, but it makes me feel better. Now, head towards the Hokage tower I think we will run into Mizuki any minute now.'Minato said once the duo reached the big oak, and Iruka changed into Naruto.

As if on cue, an Iruka look alike started to chase Naruto (Iruka).

'Naruto, if's that's you rub the back of your neck.' Minato said waving his hand in front of Iruka's look a like's face When the look alike didn't move, Minato shouted at the real Iruka 'It's Mizuki, be careful. I'm going to find Naruto, and get him to safety.'And with that, he was gone.

In some near by trees, Naruto heard the sounds of battle. He was debating wither or not to help his favorite teacher, when a voice behind him started him.

'Don't even think about it, young man! If you jump into that fight, you will be grounded longer then you already will be when we get home. I understand that you had a good intentions for taking the scroll, but you donotsteal from our own village'Minato got down on to his level, so he can look him in the eye. 'Naruto, your mother and I love you very much, and we just want what's best for you, and stealing from Konoha is not it'

"So, stealing is ok, just not from Konoha, how is that good morals?"

'Don't question it; you will be saner that way.'Minato said laughing at his son's question. 'Now shush, you will want to hear what's being said.'Minato said as he floated over to where the other two were.

Meanwhile

Naruto (Iruka) was jumping though the trees, with Iruka (Mizuki) close behind him.

"Naruto, everything Mizuki told you was a lie, give me the scroll." Iruka shouted at Naruto. Naruto then turned his body around so that he was nearly hugging Iruka. When he got close enough, Naruto stabbed Iruka, and threw him to the ground. Iruka caught Naruto's leg before he fell, and brought him down with him. When Naruto landed on the ground, he took off the scroll and held it in front of him. Iruka turned to ask

"How did you know it was me," Iruka changed into Mizuki "and not Iruka?" Naruto then became Iruka, with a smile on his face.

"Because, I'm Iruka!"

"Why are you protecting that freak? He's the one whipped out your family."

"I don't care what you say, you are not getting your hands on this scroll," Minato then flew, and stood next to Iruka.

"As if you can stop me, don't you get it, Naruto is just like me. He wants the scroll for his own power, and his own vengeance. That's how beasts are. He will pour all his rage into the scroll, and destroy everything."

"You're right, that's how beasts are … But that's not how Naruto is. He's nothing like that. Naruto is one of a kind. He works hard, puts his whole heart into it. Sure he messes up, and everyone jumps on him for it. But, his suffering has only makes him stronger. That's why he isn't like the nine-tails; he's Naruto Uzumaki, of the village hidden in the leafs"

'I couldn't have said it better my self.'

"Do you really believe that, Iruka? I was going to save you for later, but you're finished!" Mizuki said as he pulled off the second Fuma Shuriken. When out of nowhere Naruto pushes Mizuki out of the path of Iruka.

"Not bad for a punk." Mizuki said as he dusted himself off.

"If you ever lay a hand on my sensei, I'll kill you!" Naruto said as stood in front of Iruka.

"Such big words, I can completely destroy you with a signal move." Mizuki said as he readies himself for an attack.

"Take your best shot. I'll give it back a thousand fold!" Naruto said as he made a hand sign.

"Let's see what you can do, nine-tailed fox." Mizuki said as he ran forward.

"Shadow clone jutsu!" Naruto yelled. Soon the clearing, they were standing in, was now filled with hundreds of Narutos, ready to kick some butt.

'Naruto, those aren't just illusions, they are completely solid. You mastered an extremely advanced jutsu.'Minato said in awe of his son.

"What's this? What's going on?" Mizuki asked as he stopped and looked at all the different Narutos, trying to find the real one.

"Well, if you aren't coming, then we're coming to you." All the clones jumped on him at the same time; they punched, kicked, and even bit him. Once the man had been knocked out, Naruto got rid of the clones, and walked over to where Iruka and Minato were.

'Don't you think you over did it?'

"Sorry dad, I still can't control how many I can make." Naruto said rubbing his neck "Are you ok sensei?"

"Naruto, come here, I want to give you something." Iruka said with a smile. "Close your eyes," There was a rusting as Iruka removed his own headband and tied it around Naruto's head.

"Alright, you can open them now." Iruka said once he was sitting in front of the boy.

"Congratulations, you pass!" Iruka and Minato said at the same time.
