Chapter 2: Meeting the old man (again)
Naruto sat on the ground, holding the Forbidden Scroll. He just went to the Hokage's office to do what Mizuki said. Steal the scroll, and give it to him in the forest. And here he was. He managed to trick the old man using Oiroke no Jutsu, leaving him in a pool of blood. He knew that he's going to get punished after this, but he still have to catch that bastard. No pain, no gain, right?
"Man... Iruka's so long..." Naruto yawned.
"How long must we wait for Iruka? It's boring you know..." Chomei whined in his mindscape.
"I'm bored too... If I remembered right, in the other timeline Iruka was really fast to find me..." Naruto said.
"Maybe because you learned how to do kagebunshins, so you didn't realized that time already passed by," Kurama said.
"I guess you right... Oh, by the way, Iruka's here..."
"Finally I found you... Naruto..." Iruka said with creepy face.
"Wah! Iruka-sensei!" Naruto yelled while making surprise face.
"You dared to steal the Forbidden Scroll from the Hokage's office, you little punk?! You've got some nerve to do that, hmm?" Iruka said while directing killing intent towards Naruto.
Naruto didn't flinched at the killing intent Iruka gave to him. For someone who ever got killing intent from Kyuubi, this one is nothing to compared about.
"Heh, of course! I'm the strongest being in the world you know," Kurama laughed at Shukaku's pissed face, but the fox quickly silenced by a death glare from Matatabi.
"Well, Iruka-sensei, Mizuki-sensei said that if I give this scroll to him, he'll pass me as a genin! By the way, where is he?" Naruto said, while giving Iruka a warned look.
Iruka just cocked his head in confusion when suddenly, his eyes widened in realization.
"GET DOWN NARUTO!"
Right after Iruka said that, a fuma shuriken passed right besides Naruto, but thankfully, Iruka already pushed him out of the way.
The shuriken continue to spin to one of the tree, and someone up there catch it.
"Well, well, well, look who's here," Mizuki sadi smugly. His hand holding the fuma shuriken.
"Mizuki! What's the meaning of this?" Iruka yelled at his friend.
The reply he got was a numerous shuriken that pierced his body.
Naruto almost run to Iruka when Kokuo's voice stopped him.
"Wait Naruto! He's fine, his wound is not too deep, you have to catch Mizuki first, then you can heal him."
"Che. Okay," Naruto growled.
"Wha- why Mizuki-sensei and Iruka-sensei are fighting? What the hell is going on here?!" Naruto said confused.
"Easy Naruto. Now give me the scroll," Mizuki said.
"Don't Naruto! He's tricking you!" Iruka yelled.
"Shut it Iruka. Naruto, do you know why everyone hates you?" Mizuki said while smiling evilly.
"NO MIZUKI, IT'S FORBIDDEN!" Iruka shouted.
Naruto just raised his eyebrow in confusion.
"It was said that 12 years ago, the Yondaime killed the Kyuubi," Kurama sneered at that in Naruto's mindscape, "but it's all lie. He sealed it inside a newborn baby that night. Do you want to know who is the baby?"
"MIZUKI!" Iruka yelled again desperately.
"THAT BABY IS YOU!" Mizuki shouted and point at Naruto, "the Yondaime sealed it inside you, Naruto. YOU ARE THE KYUUBI REBORN!"
Naruto's face was blank. Iruka just stared at Naruto horrified and Mizuki just smiled evilly, expecting the blonde to break.
A low chuckle suddenly bubbled up from Naruto's mouth. That chuckle slowly become a loud laugh.
After Naruto managed to stop his laugh, he stared at Mizuki emotionlessly.
"You're an idiot Mizuki," Iruka and Mizuki flinched at the cold voice, "I already know about Kyuubi since a long, long time ago. I even talk to him! Me and Kyuubi are different entities."
"You may see me as a dead-last in the academy, but actually I'm smarter than that, traitor," Naruto said while making a single handseal.
"Kagebunshin no Jutsu," Naruto called his signature jutsu in his mind. Instantly, thousand Naruto clone popped in life. Mizuki's eyes widened in horror.
Back then, Naruto learnt from Kurama how to use a jutsu without calling it's technique's name. The fox explained that shouting the name will give a big hint to the enemy. So, he started to trained Naruto how to do it by increasing the blonde's concentration.
"Not many people could do it without an overload stress," Kurama stated proudly, "even Kage-level shinobi would considered it very difficult. Others may not know it, but this kit is a prodigy."
"Thanks. Without you, I can't accomplished it. I'm not that great actually," Naruto said grinning mentally.
"Now, enough chit-chat. Beat him guys!" Naruto shouted at his clones. They grinned sadistically and launched towards the scared Mizuki.
Iruka just smiled at his student. This boy... I've no doubt that he'll surpass all of the Hokages someday...
"Hehehe... did I overdo it?" Naruto scrached his cheek sheepishly. Mizuki was beaten so badly by Naruto's clone, that he even almost died.
"Serves you right, traitor!" Chomei stucked her tounge at Mizuki in Naruto's mindscape.
"Naruto, come here," Iruka said while motioned Naruto to come with his hand.
Naruto then approached Iruka.
"Close your eyes," Iruka ordered and Naruto did as he said. He felt something cold touching his forehead.
"Open your eyes," Iruka said and slowly Naruto opened his sapphire eyes. His hand touched the cold metal of his forehead ptotector.
"Congratulations, Naruto. You've passed the exam," Iruka said smiling.
Naruto stared at his ex-teacher while grinning happily.
"Thanks, Iruka-sensei!" Naruto said happily while tackling Iruka to the ground.
"Ouch!" Iruka winced in pain when his wound reopened again. Naruto realized that Iruka still have the wound from the shurikens.
"Sorry Iruka-sensei! I'll heal you!" Naruto quickly released Iruka and placed his hand over Iruka's wound.
Before Iruka could asked what did he mean, Naruto's hand glowed in green. Iruka's eyes bulged out of the sockets.
"A medical jutsu?" Iruka thought disbelievingly while watching his cut slowly closed.
Back when Sakura's still alive, she taught Naruto how to do some medical jutsu. Thanks to Saiken who was already sealed inside him, he managed to do Mystical Palm Technique. Saiken's special ability is in medical jutsu, that's why Naruto could perform it flawlessly.
"Although I just could healed a not-so-serious wound," Naruto thought while focusing at Iruka's wound.
"There Iruka-sensei, it's finished. Although you should still go to the hospital to check if there's some internal wounds," Naruto said and the green chakra on his hand vanished.
"N-Naruto, you know medical jutsu?" Iruka stuttered. Who would believe that the dead-last know medical jutsu, yet he could do it?
"I just know how to do Mystical Palm Technique, and I can't healed too serious wound yet," Naruto replied.
"Even so, you did great, Naruto," Iruka said, proud at his student. Suddenly, two ANBUs arrived at the scene.
"Iruka-san, Naruto-san, the Hokage had request for your attendance immediately at Hokage's office," one of the ANBU said.
"We'll be there momentarily, ANBU-san," Iruka said. The ANBU nodded and shunshined, but not before taking Mizuki's body to Ibiki.
"Let's go, Naruto," Iruka said and both of them headed towards the Hokage Tower.
**uzumakiheiress**
Iruka knocked the door once he and Naruto arrived in the Hokage Tower.
"Enter," the Hokage said from the inside.
They get into the room, and Naruto's eyes slightly widened at the sight he saw. Behind the desk, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage looking at them with concerned eyes. He's still same as the old man he knows, the old face, still smoking a pipe, white hair and beard and still wear the same Hokage attire. But this time, Naruto could sense a great power radiating from him. This is the power from the God of Shinobi.
"Welcome back Iruka, Naruto," Naruto frowned at Sandaime's voice. When Hiruzen said his name, he did it like he was facing an enemy.
"I think he is suspicious about you, Naruto," Son Goku said suddenly from his mindscape.
"Suspicious? Why?"
"Think about it. He's watching over you and Iruka from his crystalball. He saw you perform a medical jutsu. He saw you perform kagebunshins. Those techniques weren't supposed to be known by a genin fresh from the academy," Kokuo said.
"And that Inoichi is here, which means you're going to get interrogated," Kurama added while crossing his arms.
"Uh-oh," Naruto said, he was sweating bullets now.
"For someone smart and cunning like you sometimes you can be really dumb," Gyuki said shaking his head.
"Gyuki, quit calling me dumb," Naruto whined.
"Naruto, did you hear me?"
That voice pulled Naruto back to reality. He saw all of the occupants in the room staring at him.
"Ah, yes, what did you just say, jiji?" Naruto asked.
Hiruzen's eyes narrowed but he didn't say anything.
"I said that would you mind if you give me the scroll?" Hiruzen repeated his question.
"Here," Naruto tossed the scroll on the desk, and Hiruzen quickly picked it up.
"I have one question for you, Naruto," Hiruzen said with a stern voice.
Naruto gulped at Hiruzen.
"Nah, shit. I'm screwed. What should I do?"
"Maybe you have to tell him the truth , Naruto," Isobu suddenly said.
"What? Why? He wouldn't believe me," Naruto said surprised.
"You could ask Inoichi to perform a mind-reading jutsu to you. He's from Yamanaka clan right?" Shukaku said.
"Ah, yes, you're right," Naruto replied.
"Naruto, how did you know medical jutsu?" Hiruzen asked, narrowing his eyes.
Naruto just stared blankly at Hiruzen, his face didn't show any emotion.
He then sighed heavily.
"Alright jiji, I'll tell you. But would you mind if the ANBUs get out from the office for a while?" Naruto said.
Hiruzen raised his eyebrow surprised at Naruto. How come did he know that there's ANBU in this room?
"Alright," Hiruzen sighed and make a signal for the ANBU to get out.
After Naruto sense that all of them are gone, Naruto take a deep breath. He knew that this will take a long time to explain all of this.
"Okay... first, I have to do this... Fuinjutsu: Silencing Seal," Hiruzen, Inoichi and Iruka's eyes bulged out of their sockets. How come a genin could do a C-rank fuinjutsu?
"Alright," Naruto started, "the truth is, I'm from the future..."
