The Graduation Dat

Today was the day of graduation. Their class has whittled down to 30 students who will take the exam including Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, Ino Yamanka, Chouji Akimichi, Shikamaru Nara, and Sakura Haruno. The day started of a usual with the girls fighting over the seat next to Sasukes while, Naruto chatted happily away with Kiba, Chouji, and Shikamaru.

"So, who do you think is going to pass this year." Kiba says while, petting Akamaru

"I would say all of us if things are any indication including Sasuke, Sakura, and Ino" Chouji says while munching on chips.

"I wouldn't rule out Shino and Hinata both are pretty strong too." Naruto states

"What a drag with the way things are going I will get stuck on a team Ino." Shikamaru groans.

--x--

"Alright class settle down and we will begin the testing." Iruka says

First is Shino then, Chouji, Sakura, Hinata, Kiba, Ino, Sasuke, and finally Naruto who fails to pass the clone portion of the exam for failing to create a regular clone. When the students leave they take their headbands with them. Meanwhile, Naruto is waiting for someone by the swing set as other students happily show off their headbands to their parents.

"Hey Naruto"

"What's up Mizuki-sensei." Naruto asks

"Just coming by to check up on you since, you failed the genin exam" Mizuki states

"I wanted to so badly pass this year but, i guess i wasn't good enough." Naruto responds sadly

"Well there is a way to pass that i think you can do." Mizuki smiles

"Really Mizuki-sensei what is it i'll do anything!"

"You must acquire and learn a jutsu from the scroll of seals."

"Is that all Mizuki-sensei."

"Yep bring it to the designated location tonight and you will be a genin." Mizuki grins

"Thanks sensei i won't let you down" Naruto says happily

"Too easy" both Mizuki and Naruto thought.

That night Naruto knocks out the Hokage with his Sexy Jutsu and takes off with the scroll of seals. He arrives at the shack that Mizuki will be waiting for him and decides to look over the scroll.

"There, the 'Mokuton' techniques of Shodaime-sama. I should copy all these." Naruto decided.

He channeled chakra to a seal around his wrist, with kanji for 'accommodate', and with a poof a medium sized scroll falls down.

Naruto manipulates his chakra and wrote down each of the mokuton technique from the scroll of seals to his own personal scroll, in terms of his personal fuinjutsu kanji, so that no one else would understand what it means.

'The technique 'Mokuton: Mokujonheiki (wood release: wood locking wall)' seems really durable defensive technique. Shodaime says that he deflected the a tailed beast bomb using it.' Naruto decides to perfect the technique before anything.

'I remember the mokubunshins (wood clones) have many advantage over Shadow clones, like extreme durability and ability to become one with wood, making them better than shadow clones for espionage.

'The 'mokuton: hobi no jutsu ( wood release: wood expulsion technique)' creates a dome-like structure in the form of a dragon's face, the user is completely surrounded. Taking advantage of the nature of Wood Release, this fūinjutsu substantially weakens incoming attacks whilst protecting the user inside. It was strong enough to defend against Susanoo enhanced tailed beast bomb.'

'Mokuton: Hotei no jutsu( wood release: laughing Buddha technique) creates giant wooden hands, strong enought to hold perfect Susanoo's sword swing with full might, that is said to be capable of cutting mountains.

'Woahh the secrets to Hashirama sama's senjutsu is also here. To think wood release gives user instinctual unferstanding of natural energy, plus helps in undergoing Sage mode transformation due to mokuton techniques such as 'mokuton: mokujin (wood release: wood golem)' and 'mokuton: mokuryu (wood release: wood dragon)' absorbing natural energy and transferring it to user. I already know how to handle sage energy, that means I would be able to undergo sage mode as soon as my body is ready. No wonder Shodaime-sama was called 'Shinobi no kami (The God of Shinobi)'. To say he battled Kurama with Madara and won, though I think Kurama wasn't fighting with his full strength due to being controlled by Madara's mangekyou sharingan, but still It's a feat among others. Even I was able to barely blitz Kurama to take his chakra, that also with help of Gyuki, Killer Bee and Mom's chakra chain and overall in controlled environment of Tou-chan's Hakke fuin(Eight Trigrams seal).'

Naruto had finished copying 'Mokuton techniques' and some forbidden fuinjutsu like 'Hakke Fuin (Eight Trigram seal)', 'Hiraishin (flying thunder God)' and 'Shiki Fuin (Dead Demon consuming seal)'. He also copied some of genjutsu techniques, he can use such as 'Bringer of Darkness technique' that requires large chakra consumption.

He also copied the 'Iryo ninjutsu (medical ninjutsu)' that was basis of Tsunade's medical skills, which was said to be a breakthrough in Shinobi world. He didn't have required chakra control at present, but he knew how it felt when he had his 'sun seal' from Hagoromo, so he can allways practise his chakra control to be enough for medical ninjutsu. Also, the secrets of Hashirama's regeneration was among the notes, which was copied by Tsunade senju, who needed to yin- chakra storage seal to perform the feat because she didn't have immense reserves as her grandfather.

Even the immense strength technique Tsunade had, was learnt from her grandfather, though Godaime perfected it to a level, that she was rumoured to level mountains with single punch.

Obviously Naruto didn't copy everything from Hashirama's section. It would take lot of time to master all his talents. Hashirama was also known as 'Man of thousand skills', means there was no Shinobi art left untouched by Hashirama.

Naruto immediately formed immense number of shadow clones and roughened himself a bit so that it looked like he was training. In few moments, like the last time Iruka landed in front of Naruto.

"Naruto! What is the meaning of this? Why did you steal the scroll of seals?" Iruka demanded.

"Iruka sensei!" Naruto greeted "Doesn't it means that I pass my graduation exam? After all Mizuki sensei did tell me that by stealing the scroll and learning a jutsu from it, I will graduate."

Iruka's eyes widened but he controlled himself "What are you playing at Naruto? You of all people should know that there is no other way. You arrange the papers from Hokage's office for God's sake."

Naruto sighed an became serious "I know sensei. That's why I pretended to believe Mizuki. When he gave me the fake mission, I suspected him. Now with you as the witness we will be able to proove his treachery. If I had gone to someone without the proof, you know how would all of them react."

Iruka was astonished as he heard Naruto's reasons but before he could reply he had to jump backwards and deflect some shurikens with his Kunai, on the courtesy of Mizuki.

Mizuki hadn't heard the conversation between Iruka and Naruto as he said "Very good Naruto! You have passed. Now give me the scroll."

"Don't give it to him Naruto he only wants the scroll for himself!" Iruka plays his role.

"Do you know why you are so hated Naruto why the villagers loathe you and despise you."

"No Mizuki it's forbidden!" Iruka shouts

"It's because you are the Kyuubi since, the fourth hokage couldn't kill it; he sealed inside of an infant that was you naruto you are the Kyuubi incarnate and that is why you will never be loved by anyone!" Mizuki screams out

Naruto turns toward Iruka and just smiles thinking of the people important to him those that will come to acknowledge him.

"I already knew Iruka-sensei so, don't go blowing a gasket." Naruto informs much to the shock of Iruka.

Naruto smirks and turns to face Mizuki, preparing to take him down. With one hand seal the forest is covered in smoke revealing 100's of smiling naruto's ready to kick Mizuki's ass.

"Sorry Iruka-sensei but, i want to try out my new jutsu on Mizuki-teme so please sit back and watch."

The clones launch themselves at Mizuki in succession, attacking with Punches, Elbows, kicks and Knees. Suddenly two kage bunshins handstand kicks Mizuki and launches him into air. The other Kage bunshin joins the fray with five of them punching him in guts with shout of "U-" and launching him higher.

The second groups of clones kicks him with shout of "ZU-" increasing the altitude of the traitor.

The third group of clones followed by elbowing Mizuki with shouts of "MA-".

The fourth group of clones ended the first part of move with slaming their knees on various places of Mizuki's damaged body with shout of "KI-" making him spit blood.

Finally the original Naruto with three other kage bunshins jump just above Mizuki's position. Naruto with flip kick, The 1st clone with downward Punch and the last two clones with knee and elbow slammed into Mizuki with roar of "NARUTO 4K RENDAN (barrage)!".

As a result Mizuki pummeled to the ground in high speed breaking various of his bones and tearing his muscles.

With a final groan Mizuki lost consciousness. Naruto looked towards Iruka and rubbed back of his hair "He~He! Looks like I overdid it."

At the site of this Iruka takes off his headband and offers it to Naruto who gladly accepts it. They tie up Mizuki and drop him off at the Hokage's mansion while, they go out to Ichiraku's to eat and celebrate Naruto's passing his genin exam.
