A.N.: I do not own Naruto. Leave a review if you like the story, Dattebane! :D

"Iruka-sensei wasn't beeing mean." Mizuki-sensei started to talk as they sat down on to a platform.

"Then why does he pick on me the most…?" Naruto asked.

"He wants you to become truly strong, Naruto-kun. Since you have no parents, just like him." He said looking at the sunset.

"But…I wanted to graduate"

"Fine." Mizuki-sensei said with a small smile on his face. "I'll tell you two a big secret" He added and Nana looked at him as she stopped munching on her dango. Listening to Mizuki-sensei's explanation on the scroll she looked to Naruto, whose eyes were shining.

-x-

"Got it." Naruto yelled as he sped pass Nana with a giant scroll on his back.

"Let's get moving then, I didn't see anyone coming here." She said to him as she dashed behind him out of the building.

"This was too easy." Naruto told her as they sat down in the forest.

"If what Mizuki-sensei said is true, we better start practicing. Tomorrow we can go to Iruka-sensei and show him your new technique, he'll have no choice but to let you graduate." She said as she unwrapped a chi chi dango and popped it into her mouth.

Nana sat down besides Naruto, who was already learning a Shadow clone technique and unrolled the scroll a bit farther to see what kind of techniques it had. Her eyes stopped on a space time ninjutsu that let a user transport themselves immediately to a given marked location, it was called the Flying Thunder god technique.

She read about the technique, about how you should create your own special seal or so called technique formula to mark an intended destination. After that the user enters his or hers own dimensional void that is created with the seal. The technique was similar to the summoning one, so she did understand that part of the technique, the part with creating your own seal was the tough one. Seals weren't so easy to make, you had to be careful while doing them. That was the big part missing on the technique, in the scroll the technique was explained, but not how to achieve it.

Nana read up a lot on space-time ninjutsu since she was seven years of age, but creating her own seal was hard, almost too hard if not impossible for most ninjas.

Before she could try out her seal to see if it works both her and, a now exhausted Naruto, were interrupted by a very angry Iruka.

"Hey Naruto! Nana!" He practically growled out their names as he leaned down hands on his hips and his eyes twitching in anger.

Both Naruto and Nana scratched their neck at the same time laughing a little.

"Oh man, we got caught. I only learned one technique, don't know about Nana."

"Doesn't matter for me, I already graduated nii-san."

"Right." He said to Nana, and then turned over to Iruka-sensei.

"Hey, I'm going to show you a great technique, so let me graduate if I can do it! If I show you a technique from this scroll, I can graduate, right?" Naruto asked him all excited while Nana looked over her seal testing it out with a normal object.

The seal was practically the same as an item summoning technique, basically what it did was summoning her to the marked spot, like a reverse summoning technique, and the only problem now was how to establish the contract.

"Who said that?" Iruka-sensei asked shocked and Nana looked up from the seal.

"Mizuki-sensei did." They both replied at the same time, followed by a dattebane and dattebayo.

"He told us about this place and this scroll." Naruto continued explaining, while Nana stayed quiet and looked at Iruka-sensei whose face was now covered in disbelief.

Not soon after Naruto stopped talking Nana and Naruto were pushed away by Iruka-sensei as he blocked the set of kunai knifes flying towards them.

"I'm surprised you found out about this place."

"I see, so that's how it is."

"Naruto, hand over the scroll."

"Hey…What's going on here?"

"Naruto, Nana, don't let him get the scroll no matter what. That's a dangerous scroll that has forbidden techniques. Mizuki used you so that he could get a hold of it!" Iruka-sensei explained his eyes not leaving Mizuki.

Nana noticed the kunai wounds and blood dripping from Iruka-sensei as her body instantly went in to a defensive stance next to Naruto.

"Naruto, Iruka is afraid of you possessing that." Mizuki said as he saw Naruto's defensive stance.

"What?" Naruto and Nana both looked at Iruka-sensei.

"What are you saying, Mizuki? Don't believe him, Naruto." Iruka said looking now at Naruto.

"I'll tell you the truth!" Mizuki said from the tree above them.

"Don't!" Iruka yelled in panic at Mizuki.

Nana's eyes followed Mizuki-sensei's every move as he explained that Naruto was a vessel of the nine tailed fox. The rule that was created not to tell Naruto and Nana about shocked them both.

"…not even your sister likes you, in fact she hates you more now." Mizuki-sensei added.

"Die, Naruto!" Mizuki yelled as he threw a large shuriken.

"Naruto! Duck!" Iruka-sensei yelled making Naruto pull Nana down with him.

Soon after Nana opened her eyes she realized what happened. Iruka-sensei shielded them from Mizuki's shuriken. She was in shock, for the first time she couldn't hear the word coming from Iruka-sensei or Naruto. She sat there unable to move as she saw the blood dripping out of Iruka-sensei's mouth.

"Oy! Snap out of it! Nana-dattebayo! Nana!" She heard a familiar voice screaming at her.

"Nii-chan…?" She asked and almost tripped over her leg as she realized they were running.

They hid behind a tree not far away where Mizuki and Iruka-sensei, who was transformed in to Naruto stopped.

"What good is there in protecting the one who killed your parents?"

"I'm not going to let an idiot like you get that scroll"

"You're the idiot. Naruto is the same as me."

"Same as you?"

"Anything is possible with that scroll. There's no way that Naruto, the monster fox, won't use its powers."

"You're right…" They heard Iruka-sensei say.

Nana looked at Naruto grabbing him by his shoulders as she pulled him in to a hug.

"If he was a monster fox. But Naruto is different. He's…. He's an excellent student that I recognize. He's a hardworking, earnest, clumsy, and no one recognizes him, like his sister does. They both know each other's pain and the pain of others. So he's not a monster fox. He's Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha!" Iruka-sensei exclaimed and Nana could feel her shoulder getting wet.

Looking at Naruto's face she laughed a bit calling him a crybaby.

"What an idiot." Mizuki said unhookin the last large shuriken on his back.

"Stay here Nana-chan" Naruto said at the exact same moment.

"Iruka, I said I would kill you later, but I take that back. Die now!" Mizuki screamed as he dashed forward, spinning the large shuriken in his hand.

Before he could attack Iruka-sensei, Naruto kneed him in his chin knocking him backwards and causing him to lose the grip on his shuriken.

"Nice!" Nana yelled as she ran toward Iruka-sensei, helping him stand up while Naruto fought Mizuki.

"Shadow replication!" Naruto yelled as thousands of Naruto copies appeared.

"Shadow replication?..." Iruka-sensei said under his breath.

"Nii-san is awesome right? He mastered the technique in a matter of hours." Nana explained looking up at Iruka-sensei with a laugh.

-x-

Mizuki lay on the ground beaten to a pulp, not even able to move in his state.

"Maybe I hurt him too much." Naruto said as he laughed and scratched his neck in embarrassment.

"Iruka-sensei, Nana-chan, are you okay?" Naruto asked looking at them.

"Y-yeah…" Iruka said surprised and Nana nodded with a grin.

"Naruto, come here for a second. I want to give you something." Iruka-sensei grunted in pain.

Nana smiled as she watched Naruto close his eyes in confusion. She saw Iruka-sensei untie his forehead protector and tying it up on Naruto's head, after taking down his goggles.

"All right, open your eyes" Iruka said and Naruto did so.

"Congratulations. You graduate." Iruka said with a sof voice and a smile on his face.

"Congratulations Naruto-nii-san!" Nana exclaimed with a grin as she stood besides Iruka-sensei.

"All right! Let's celebrate. I'll treat you to ramen." Iruka said before he was tackled to the ground by a teary Naruto.

Nana joined in jumping onto Iruka as she complained why he doesn't treat them on Dango and tea instead.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Iruka yelled at them making them both laugh even harder as the loosened their grip by just a bit around him.
