Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
The genin exam was breeze, Naruto sat in the swing while reading a book as he waits for Iruka. His forehead protector tied in his forehead. He ignores the happy family gathering happening not far from him. He is not only ignoring the happy reunion of the families but also the whispers of hatred. He knew that the people in Konoha still hated him despite he had stop his prankster days and act civil.
He felt a presence nearby but remained calm.
"Is there something you need from me Mizuki-sensei?" Naruto ask not taking of his eyes from his book.
Mizuki smiled at the young genin, "You know Naruto, I admire your dedication in achieving your dream and I think that you deserve to know a little secret on how to become a chunin quickly."
This perk up Naruto's interest, looking at his sensei with interest, "What do you mean sensei?"
"Actually, there is a way to become a chunin immediately, are you interested?"
"Ofcourse I am, what do I need to do," Naruto said eagerly.
"Well all you have to do is…"
Iruka was at his home sitting at his living room, reading the same book the Naruto was reading, when a loud banging in his door, he put down the book and went to open the door.
He was startled when he saw the distraught looking Mizuki.
"Iruka we have a problem!"
"Calm down Mizuki, what's wrong?" Iruka said trying to calm his friend.
"This is not the right time to calm down Iruka, Naruto just stole the Forbidden Scroll!"
"WHAT!" Iruka's eyes widen
"Naruto stole the Forbidden Scroll and now being hunted down by the Anbu,"
Hearing the word Anbu, Iruka's expression turned into worry, "Then what are we waiting for, let's go!"
And both jump to where Naruto is.
Naruto was standing in the place where Mizuki instructed for him to meet up, he was all worn out.
"NARUTO!"
Naruto was startled when he saw Iruka, "Iruka-sensei?"
"Naruto, have you realize what you have done?"
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked with a questioning look
"Do you know what that scroll is?"
"Oh you mean this?" Naruto pointing in the scroll at his back, "Mizuki-sensei told me all about it and about this place to."
"He said that if I show you a skill from the scroll, I will definitely promoted quickly as a chunin." He grinned
Iruka's eyes widen in disbelief, then he felt something not right about the whole thing. With a quick reflex he quickly maneuvers Naruto into safely as bunch of Kunai flew towards them.
"Nice job in finding the moron" Mizuki stated with an insane look.
"I see… so that's what's going on" Iruka stated wounded by the sudden attack, Naruto was startled on what is going on.
"Naruto, give me the scroll!" Mizuki ordered the new genin
"Wh-What's going on here?" Naruko whispered to himself unsure and scared about the sudden event, looking back and forth between Iruka and Mizuki with conscious.
"Naruto! Whatever happens… Don't give him the scroll!" Iruka forcefully demanded the boy as he took some kunai from his wounded body, "That's a dangerous scroll that has forbidden ninjutsu written inside it,"
Naruto look at the scroll behind him with wary and daze, "Mizuki used you to get his hands on it."
This snapped Naruto from his daze and look face Mizuki with conscious, putting the scroll behind as if protecting it.
"Why would you do this Mizuki?" Iruka said in deep sadness
Mizuki just look at Iruka with hatred, "I'm sick of being a konoha, I'm sick being an Academy instructor, that's why I decided to rise to power and glory by joining the most strongest master."
"Wha?" Iruka look at Mizuki's craze look with disbelief, Naruto became more wary of his crazy ex-instructor.
"Naruto, there's no point in you having it, I'll tell you the truth,"
This perk Naruto's curiosity on what is Mizuki talking about the truth.
"N-No! Don't!"
The sudden outburst from Iruka made Naruto more curious, what truth is Mizuki talking about.
"12 years ago.. you know about the demon fox being sealed, right?"
Naruto continue in listening to Mizuki with great interest,
"Since that day, a special rule was created for this village." Mizuki continue with glee as he saw that Naruto was listening to him.
"A rule?" Naruto repeated with uneasiness on where this is all heading
"But this rule was never meant to be told to you."
This greatly surprise the young boy, "Not to me?" he repeated, "What is this rule?! Tell me!" he asked forcefully.
Mizuki chuckle when he saw the desperation in Naruto's face in knowing about the rule.
"What kind of rule?" the boy asked again this time with a gentle desperation.
"The rule is that nobody is allowed to talk about the fact that you are the nine tailed demon fox."
This surprise the boy, "Wh-What?" Naruto fell on the ground not being able to support himself anymore on the sudden revelation, "What do you mean?"
"STOP IT!" Iruka yelled in desperation
Mizuki ignore the desperate plea of Iruka and continue to watch in a sick manner of the distraught look of the young genin.
"It means that you are the nine tailed demon fox that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed the village! You were sealed up by the hokage you admire and…"
"STOP IT!" Iruka again screamed
"You have been lied to by everyone!" Mizuki continued with a craze look, the pained expression by the boy made Mizuki more eager to hurt the boy, "didn't you find it odd how everyone hate you? Iruka is the same! He also hates you! Nobody will ever love you! That scroll was used to seal you up!" Mizuki said twirling the giant kunai towards the young boy.
He watch as the Kunai neared the boy, but then an invisible barrier protected Naruto.
"Wha-"
"Iruka-sensei, did you get everything" Naruto stated in a serious mode
Iruka took out the remaining kunai's from his body with easy and all of his wounds quickly close up.
"Yeah," Iruka stated, with a poof his outfit changes in an anbu outfit, donning a Dolphin mask. This shock Mizuki, another poof was heard, he watch as Naruto's outfit turned into an Anbu outfit and has a kitsune mask.
"Chunin Mizuki of Konohagakure and instructor of the Academy, you are hereby under arrest for treachery on Konohagakure and for tricking a genin into stealing the Forbidden Exam, also attempting murder for the said genin and hurting a fellow shinobi." Iruka stated like a real anbu
"This forest is covered with a recording seal and has been recording our conversation since we entered, now you can't escape." Naruto revealed, Mizuki can't say anything out of shock, then he finally notice that all the trees has a recording seal on them.
"But then again, try escaping Mizuki, this would give us more edge to kill you," Iruka said evily this surprise Mizuki, "I've been itching to kill you since before."
A small voice told Mizuki to run for his life so he did, but before he could run, # anbu's arrive and halted him.
"Dolphin, Kitsune, stand down" the anbu captain ordered.
Kitsune or Naruto just stood where he is and Dolphin or Iruka just stayed where he was.
"Dragon, here is the confession of traitor," Naruto stated handing them a single paper.
"I believe that the traitor also broke a law that is punishable by death," Iruka stated stretching his hand to the anbu holding Mizuki, "So, if you will be kind please hand him over to us so that we can give him the punishment he deserve."
They are surprise of the cheerful voice of the supposedly kind instructor when he said it.
Silence envelope them as the anbu waited for their captain to deny the claim.
"Panda, give them the traitor."
This surprised the anbu holding Mizuki.
"Please I beg you, don't give me to them," Mizuki plead the Anbu
Iruka laugh gleefully and then out of nowhere a gray sword appeared in Iruka's hand.
"Bu-But taichou…" the anbu said unsure of her taichou's decision, from his stand of point, Dolphin is more insane than their captive. She looks at her taichou.
"Panda-chan," a playful voice surprise the Anbu, then she realize that Dolphin was already infront of her, grabbing Mizuki by the collar away from the Anbu, ignoring the hysterical traitor.
"Is she new?" Kitsune asked the Anbu taichou, the Anbu just nod, "Get out of here now,"
The Anbu Taichou nod and started to head out, followed by the other Anbu, Panda first hesitate in going until the Anbu Taichou called her.
"Is it really ok Taichou?" the anbu asked her taichou unsure
"Dolphin is correct, the traitor had broke a law punishable by death. This is their capture just go to show that they have the right to do the judgment."
"But sir, those two…"
"Drop it Panda," their third companion ordered, "You don't know those two, especially Dolphin, your lucky they spared you."
"What do you mean?" Panda was surprise by what their companion said.
The two did not answer, just then rain started to pour from the sky, "Eh? What the? The weather was fine a moment ago"
"It's raining," the third companion stated, "I guess they are done already."
Their taichou did not say anything.
Back to Naruto, he look up the sky as the raindrop started to fall, his mask was gone already, "I wonder if she is crying." Naruto thought to the sky, closing his eyes letting himself soak to the rain.
To the field stand Iruka with the sword in his hand and a maimed body on the ground. His eyes close as he looks at the sky with a sad smile, "I finally get revenge for you from one of your tormentors, gomenosai for taking it so long." He said to the sky with gentleness, he opened his eyes, only a gentle emotion can be seen in his eyes and glint of asking forgiveness, "Ne, Are you crying?" he asked to nobody in particular, "Please don't cry anymore, it's not your fault, I had already chosen this path so onegai, don't cry ne."
In the hokage tower, the great hokage look at the sky filled with sadness, "Gomenosai" he whispered to the wind.
"Is something wrong Hokage-sama?" the hokage's secretary asked in concern.
"They said, that whenever it rains, Angels are crying in heaven." the Hokage suddenly said, this made the secretary look at her superior with questioning game.
"Hokage-sama?"
"Oh nothing, just an old man murmuring something to himself." The secretary only look at him unconvince but the old hokage did not let it bother him and continue watching the rain.
