1: The Returned Forest! Enter – Naruto Uzumaki (Namikaze)!
Suiren Uzumaki: The disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fangirl in pre-shippuden, and Naruto would have his father's smarts while keeping his mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them. I do, however, own Ryurama Senju, Yuki Senju nee Miran, Raika Miran (Senju), & the White Tiger Summoning Contract (A/N: If there is already a White Tiger Summoning Contract…then please ignore the last part). Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also, if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!

(The Kyuubi no Kitsune Attack!)
12 years ago, a Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly appeared.
Its tails lashed out mashing mountains and sending tidal waves crashing to the shores.
The Ninjas rose up to defend their villages against the attack.
...My Line...
"Hold the attack!" a Leaf Ninja ordered. "And wait for the Yondaime Hokage!"
"It's getting closer!" another yelled as the first jumped into action. "Don't let it near the village!"
Just then a big red toad wearing a dark blue cloak appeared on the battlefield facing the fox and, on its head, stood a young sunny blonde hair man wearing a white haori with crimson red flames on the bottom.
...My Line...
One Shinobi faced the Nine-Tailed Fox in mortal combat.
He sacrifices his life to capture the beast and sealed it into a human body.
...My Line...
The young man did hand seals as he faced the fox before there was a bright light.
...My Line...
This Ninja was known as the Yondaime Hokage. - Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage.
...My Line...
Just then a blonde infant was seen, however, it had a seal on its belly, and was crying.
...My Line...
(12 Years After Kyuubi no Kitsune Attack!)
A young 12-year-old boy ran through Konohagakure as he was being chased by a group of Shinobi while holding a paint bucket in hand laughing. This boy has neck length, spiky windswept, blond hair, and almond shape cobalt blue eyes hidden behind a pair of goggles that has orange tinted lenses and straps with ear protectors with three whisker like marks on each of his cheeks.
The blond was wearing a waist length, long sleeve that has three brunt orange strips, gray jacket with an outlined in white, brunt orange spiral on the back over a short sleeve, firm fitting, chain mill, dark gray mesh shirt. He had completed the look with a pair of slightly blowy, black pants that are tapped into a pair of ankle length, opened toed, blue ninja sandals using white tap.
"NARUTO!" a Konoha Shinobi called. "GET BACK HERE! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU...!"
"YOU'VE CROSSED THE LINE THIS TIME NARUTO!"
All three then started to jump over the roofs which got a view of the Hokage Mountain in the background with four faces.
"Give it up!" Naruto called back. "Your just bent because you don't have the guts to do what I do! Do ya? Losers! Wannabes! You'll never catch me!"
A mountain could be seen in the distance with all four faces that were craved into its side having paint all over them.
…My Line…
In a classroom sitting in the back by a window was a young 12-year-old girl, who looked bored out of her skull. She has slightly below shoulder blade length pulled into a high ponytail making it fall to her shoulders, pin straight, dark green hair with her bangs parted in the middle to frame her ivory tone feminine angular face and narrow almond shape dark wine-red eyes. On each of her cheeks were thin red markings that pointed up towards the middle. She was listening to the Sensei go on about the Hokages before letting out a sigh and then looking out of said window. It was then that her eyes widen in shock before she raised her hand while still looking out of the window.
"Yes, Raika?" a brown hair with a scar across his nose male asked her.
"Iruka-Sensei, you might want to look out the window," Raika Miran answered as she pointed.
Iruka Umino did as she told him, too, only to gawk before letting out a growl in annoyance.
"Naruto," he growled before he headed for the door as he looked at the class. "The rest of you read the Chapter on the Yondaime Hokage for you will be tested on it."
The whole class groaned while pulling out their history book as the Umino left.
...My Line...
"Lord Hokage!" a ninja yelled as an older Sarutobi was shown. "It's an emergency!"
"I hope that you're not bothering me with something trivial and don't tell me that it's Naruto again?" the Sandaime asked.
"It is Naruto again!" a second ninja answered. "He climbed on the great stone faces!"
"He put graffiti all the Hokage!" the ninja said making Hiruzen to let out a sigh while causing smoke.
"Hmm…"
…My Line…
"NARUTO HOLD ON!" a ninja yelled as they jumped after the blonde.
It was then that a part of the wooden wall moved and reveal the real Naruto, who laughed.
"That was to easy."
"Oh yeah, Naruto?" Iruka asked as he appeared right behind him.
This freaked the Uzumaki out, who jumped a few feet in the air, turned while still in the air, and fall onto his ass.
"Where did you come from Iruka-Sensei?" Naruto asked. "Where are you doing here?"
"No, what are you doing here?" Iruka turned the question around on Naruto. "You're supposed to be in class."
The blonde was tied up by Iruka before dragged to the academy.
...My Line...
"I'm at the end of my rope Naruto," Iruka told him. "You failed the graduation test last time, and the time before that. Tomorrow, you've got another chance and you're messing up again." Naruto turned around with a pout on his face like he didn't even care. "Fine. Because you missed it, Naruto, everyone will review the Transformation Jutsu!"
"Awwww!" the whole class, but Sasuke Uchiha, and Raika groaned.
After a glare from Iruka, the whole class stood in front of him waiting to be called forward.
"Alright," a pink hair girl said. "Sakura, here. Let's do it." The redhead let out a sigh as she shook her head. "Transform."
It wasn't long till an Iruka look alike was standing in place of Sakura.
"Transformed into me?" Iruka asked. "Good."
When she changed back the young pink hair girl started to jump up and down.
"Yes, yes, I did it," she cheered. "I did it."
"I kicked butt!" inner Sakura yelled.
"Sasuke, did you see that?" the pink hair girl asked.
Raika shared a look with a dark blue hair female before looking back to the front.
"Alright, Raika Miran, you're up!" the Umino called out making the female pre-teen to stand in front of him.
"Transform!" she whispered softly.
In a puff of smoke, the greenette stood in front of the class as a long brown, dark skin, and dark eyed male in dark red samurai armor.
"Transformed into the Shodaime Hokage?" the teacher asked as he gave a once over. "Good." Raika turned back to normal as she walked up to her seat. "Next, Sasuke Uchiha!" The Uchiha stepped forwards and transformed into another Iruka. "Good." The dark hair teen turned back before walking away. "Next is Naruto Uzumaki."
"This is a total waste of time Naruto," a brown hair boy told him.
"We always pay for your screw ups," a pale blond hair girl agreed.
"Like I care," Naruto told them as he stepped forward.
'Naruto, do your best,' a dark blue hair girl thought as she watched him.
"Transform!" Naruto shouted before in his place was a naked girl with clouds around her private parts making Iruka fall back with a nosebleed. "Got cha!" Naruto turned back into himself laughing. "That's my Sexy Jutsu!"
"Cut the stupid tricks!" Iruka yelled at him. "This is your last warning!"
"Oh, Naruto!" a very familiar female voice growled.
As once, the whole class turned to see Raika with her eyes shadow by her bangs while cracking her knuckles.
"Huh, Rai-chan," Naruto stuttered. "Please calm down?"
"Run," the Raika growled making the blonde to yelp before taking off out of the window. "YOU ARE SO DEAD NARUTO!"
The greenette followed after him while Iruka let out a sigh.
...My Line...
At the Hokage Mountain, one could find, Naruto cleaning it of the paint while Iruka watched.
"This sucks," Naruto grumbled. "Loser."
"You're not going home until you've cleaned up every single drop of paint!" Iruka called out to him.
"So what!?" Naruto called back. "It's not like there's anyone at home waiting for me!"
"Naruto."
"What do you want now, Sensei?"
"Well, I was just thinking," Iruka spoke up. "Maybe after you've cleaned this all up I can take you out for some roman. The good stuff. What do you think?"
"Now that's some serious motivation!" Naruto cheered. "I'll this clean in no time!"
...My Line...
The Uzumaki and Iruka could be found sitting in Ichiraku Roman stand with a bowl of ramen in front of them.
"Naruto."
"Huh?"
"Why did you do that to the Hokage's Faces?" Iruka asked. "I mean, you know, who the Hokage are don't you?"
"Course I do," Naruto answered as he finished off his bowl of roman. "Everybody knows. They were the greatest of their time. Best of the best. Undefeatable Ninja Champs. The Yondaime Hokage is the one, who saved the village from Kyuubi no Kitsune. He's the most amazing."
"Why did you…"
"Because I'm going to be greater than any of them," Naruto answered. "Me, Naruto, the next Hokage! A Ninja legend! Then everyone will have to stop disrespecting me and look up to me, ya know! Huh? I kinda of what to ask a little favor Sensei."
"You want another bowl?" Iruka asked.
"I-I want to try on your headband," Naruto answered. "Come on please?"
"Oh, this?" Iruka asked as he touched his protector. "No way. You can only wear the leaf headband after you finally graduate th Academy and become a ninja. You've got to pass the test tomorrow."
"That is so uncool!" Naruto yelled.
"Hey, hey!" the Umino laughed. "Is that why you took off your goggles?"
"Ah! I want another bowl!"
Iruka laughed at that.
...My Line...
(The Next Morning: Ninja Academy!)
Raika was sitting next to Hinata Hyuuga in class looking at the front waiting for Iruka to tell them what the test was about.
"We will now start the final exam," Iruka started to explain to them. "When your name is called, proceed to the testing room. The final test will be on-the clan jutsu."
'That's my worst technique,' Naruto thought in distressed. 'Great I'm never going to pass.' He then blinked. 'Duh.' He face palmed. 'I could just use a different Clone Jutsu. There is nothing against it in the rules.'
"First up is Raika Miran," Iruka said before he walked out of the classroom with the greenette right behind him.
…My Line…
"Looks like Raika-chan is up first," Koharu said as she and her teammates were gathered around the Hokage's crystal ball.
"I have no doubt that she will pass with flying colors," Homura stated with a smirk. "After all the three of us trained her."
Hiruzen smiled softly as he watched his Sensei's grandchild step up in front of the Academy Teachers.
...My Line...
"Alright Raika-chan," a whitish blue hair male told her when Iruka took his set. "Make three clones of yourself."
Raika put her hands in a hand sign making Iruka and the other teacher to gasp.
'Shadow Clone Jutsu!' she thought before in a puff of smoke three clones of her stood next to her on either side.
"How?" Iruka asked. "How do you know that jutsu?"
"According to Koharu-Sensei, Homura-Sensei, and Lord Hokage, I have too much chakra for a normal clone jutsu," the greenette answered. "So, they taught me the Shadow Clone Jutsu to get around that."
"Right," the man laughed. "I forgot. Sorry." Keiko waved it off. "Congratulation. You graduate." The Miran looked surprised when Iruka pulled out a purple cloth forehead protector and handed it over to her with a smile. "Will you tell Naruto to come in here please?"
"Yes of course Sensei," Raika agreed before she walked out.
…My Line…
"Who were you planning on putting on her team, Hiruzen?" Homura asked.
"And who is her Jonin Sensei going to be?"
The Sarutobi was going through the young greenette's work before nodding to himself.
"This year's Rookie of the Year is Sasuke Uchiha with Raika-chan as the Kunoichi of the Year," he informed them. "And of course, Naruto is the dead last with Shikamaru Nara being a close second."
His two teammates shared a look with each other as they knew that when it comes to the Jinchuuriki, who also happens to be the Yondaime's Son, the whole village dropped the ball. As an Uzumaki, Naruto had too much chakra, but if you add being a Jinchuuriki on top of that than it would next to impossible for him to control it all.
"So, the team will be Sasuke Uchiha, Raika Miran, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki, huh?" Koharu asked.
"Who will be the Jonin?"
"Kakashi Hatake," the Hokage answered.
The other two raised an eyebrow.
"Are you sure, Hiruzen?" Homura asked. "After all, the Civilian Council has ordered him to train the Uchiha only." The Sarutobi gapped at him in shock. "And normally this would not be a problem, but he will have the Yondaime's only child along with Keiko-chan as well. Both of whom are more important than Sasuke Uchiha given Naruto's Jinchuuriki and Heir Statues along with the Heir Statues of Raika. Plus, Sakura Haruno will only bring the team down as she cares more about Sasuke then training."
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes at this in thought.
...My Line...
"Naruto, you're up!" Raika called out as she stuck her head into the classroom.
The Uzumaki nodded his head before he walked out of the classroom to head for the other room. The Kiyoka watched him leave before letting out a sigh before she headed outside.
…My Line…
"Maybe," Koharu spoked up as she looked at the two males with her. "The three of us train Raika-chan like normal, but assign either Raidou or Genma to train Naruto while Kakashi trains the Uchiha."
"The Council would never agree to that," Homura told her. "Plus, we know that Danzo would do anything to get the Uzumaki under his control. And what about the Haruno?"
"Who said anything about them knowing?" she asked with raised eyebrow. "And Danzo can go to hell for all I care." The only female of Team Tobirama looked thoughtful. "We could have Anko teach her. Sakura will either learn that how to be a good kunoichi for the village or returns to the civilian lifestyle."
This made the two males to smirk before they put their idea into motion.
…My Line…
'Alright get it together Naruto,' the male Uzumaki thought as he stepped up to the front of the teachers. 'You can do this, ya know.' He then made the hand signs, and his chakra became a bit visible. "Wood Clone Jutsu!"
…My Line…
Team Tobirama choked when they heard those words.
"HIRUZEN!" Koharu yelled.
"I didn't know," the Sandaime quickly informed her. "I swear!"
"Find out how young Naruto has the Shodaime Hokage's Kekkei Genkai," she demanded.
"YES MA'AM!" Hiruzen agreed at once.
Homura watched all of this with amusement.
…My Line…
From Naruto's shoulders two clones made out of wood appeared, but once they detached, the took on color and looks of their creator. Iruka and the other teacher stared at him in shock as all three Narutos looked at them with a raised an eyebrow each.
"Well, did I pass?" they asked at the same time.
"Yes," Iruka answered.
"Hold on, Iruka-Sensei," the other male teacher said. "Naruto didn't use the jutsu that was requested for him to pass."
The blonde glared at the white hair male for that.
…My Line…
"Cat!" the Sarutobi called out.
Koharu and Homura were looking at the other teacher with narrowed eyes.
"Lord Hokage?" a cat mask wearing female appeared in front of them.
"Get Captain Tiger and tell him that I have a mission for him," the Sandaime told her.
"Understood."
The female vanished.
"So, we're going with Tenzo for Naruto's second sensei, huh?" Homura asked.
"Yes, but I am going to ask Genma to teach him in Taijutsu and weapons."
The other two nodded their heads at that.
…My Line…
"There is nothing in the rules against use of a different form of Clones, Mizuki-Sensei," the Umino stated. "If force Naruto to do the normal Clone Jutsu then we might has well make Raika Miran retake this part as well."
Mizuki didn't look happy about that, but let it go.
"Congratulations, Naruto," Iruka said with a smile. "Now please come pick a headband?"
The Uzumaki stepped up to the table and took the only black one there before bowing to the teachers and walked out of the room.
...My Line...
Naruto ran out of the Academy to find Raika waiting for him at their tree that has the swing that the blonde uses.
"Raika!" he called out as he ran other to her with a smile.
The Miran looked up at him before grinning upon seeing the headband that he was wearing proudly.
"You pass!" she cheered as the two hugged.
"Yup," the Uzumaki said while popping the 'P'.
"That's great," the greenette looked up at the sky in thought before she looked back at Naruto. "I am going to go shopping and then I will make us dinner so that we can celebrate together."
The Uzumaki nodded his head with a smile before waving as the hidden Senju ran off to get the food she needed.
…My Line…
It wasn't long till the rest of the students came out and started to talk to their friends and families with Hitai-ates around their forehead.
"There do you see him?"
"It's that boy," a second woman said. "I heard that he's the only one, who fai..." Her eyes widen in shock at the sight of the hitai-ate on his forehead. "HE PASSED!"
"WHAT?!"
The two women stared in horror.
"Who thought it was the bright idea to make him a ninja?"
"I mean, he is the boy, who…"
"Shh. We're not allowed to talk about that."
…My Line…
"Iruka," the Sarutobi spoke up as they watched Mizuki appeared to talk to Naruto. "There's something we need to talk about."
...My Line...
"Iruka-Sensei is really proud that you passed, you know?" Mizuki Taji asked him as they watched the sunset.
"He is?" Naruto asked surprised.
"Yes, he is," the Taji answered. "He wants you to be strong with all his heart, but that will never happen if he goes easy on you. He's just like you, you know? No parents. No family."
"I see," the blonde sighed.
The white, blue hair man laughed a bit.
"Hey, I have something to tell you," Mizuki stated making Naruto to look at him surprise. "You know that you're the Deadlast of your class with Sasuke Uchiha as the Rookie of the Year." This made Naruto to blink. "It is tradition to put the Rookie of the Year and the Deadlast on the same team together." This made the Uzumaki mad at the thought of being on the same time as the Uchiha. "But, there is a secret way for you become the Rookie of the Year instead. And I'm going to let you in on it."
'A secret?'
…My Line…
Iruka laid in his bed while looking up at the ceiling later that night.
…My Line…
"Iruka," the Sandaime spoke.
"What is it…Lord Hokage?"
"I know how you feel," Hiruzen told him. "You grew up just like Naruto without knowing the love of a mother and father. The warmth of a family."
…My Line…
His mind went back to that day before there was a knock on his door.
"Iruka-Sensei!" Mizuki was heard making his eyes widen. "Wake up!"
"What?" he asked as he opened the door. "What is it?"
"You need to come to Lord Hokage's right away," the white hair man told him. "It's Naruto. He stole the Scared Scroll."
"You mean the Scroll of Sealing?" Iruka asked in shock. "NO!"
...My Line...
"Let's see," the blonde mumbled under his breath. "The first one is Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu…" He blinked before putting a hand on his head. "Ah! Not this again? This is my worst Jutsu!" The Uzumaki than blinked in surprise. "Hold on? Isn't that the jutsu that Raika uses because she like me has too much chakra?'
Naruto looked back at the jutsu in thought before he made a Wood Clone to copy down a technique that he noticed was made by the Nidaime Hokage, but expanded on by the Yondaime with a few of the Nidaime's water style jutsus. The blonde, himself, however, practice the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu that he can add to his jutsu list.
...My Line...
"Lord Hokage, this isn't just a prank," a ninja stated. "This is a serious crime."
"That Scroll contains secrets sealed by the Shodaime Hokage," another added. "Secrets known only to our village."
"If it falls into the wrong hands they can destroy our way of life," a third Ninja stated as Iruka and Mizuki ran up.
"Alright," Hiruzen sighed. "Bring Naruto here at once!"
"Sir!"
...My Line...
Iruka came to a stop on top of a building panting.
'Where did he go?'
...My Line...
Mizuki could be found running through the village as well.
'Now that I've told everyone what Naruto did, I can eliminate him,' he thought. 'They'll be glad his gone and of course, I keep the scroll for myself.'
...My Line...
"It's all over," Iruka laughed as he walked up to a panting Naruto.
"Got me already," Naruto laughed. "Not bad. Your quick Sensei. I only had time to learn one technique." 'Plus, copy two jutsus. One a water jutsu for Keiko and the other a Space-Time Jutsu for me.'
'He's been out here practicing,' Iruka thought. 'I can tell how hard he's been working.'
"Listen Iruka-Sensei!" the blonde said. "I'm going to show you this amazing jutsu and you're going make me Rookie of the Year. That's the way it works, right? Anyone, who learns a jutsu, from this scroll passes!"
"Huh? Where did you get that idea?"
"Mizuki-Sensei told me about it, ya know," the Uzumaki answered. "He told me where to find this scroll and this place…"
'Huh? Mizuki?'
Just then the sounds of something flying through the air was heard making Iruka to gasp. The Umino than pushed the Uzumaki out of the way and took the kunai that was thrown. The kunai then pinned him to a shade just behind the blonde.
"I see you found our little hide away," a familiar voice said.
"So, that's the way it is, huh?" the Umino groaned as he looked up. "I should have known."
"Naruto, give me the Scroll now!" Mizuki called out.
"Wait a minute?" the blue eyed, blonde asked as he looked between his two teachers. "What's going on here?"
"Naruto, don't let Mizuki get the scroll!" Iruka said as he pulled out a kunai. "It contains Forbidden Jutsu that can put this village in danger. Mizuki used you to get the scroll for himself. For his own power!"
This made the Uzumaki to narrow his eyes.
"Naruto," Mizuki spoke up. "Iruka is just trying to scare you because he doesn't want you to have the Scroll."
"Huh?"
"Stop lying Mizuki! Don't let him trick you, Naruto."
This just made the other male to laugh.
"Oh, I'll tell you, who is really lying."
"NO MIZUKI!"
"They've been lying to you, your whole life, Naruto," Mizuki went on as if Iruka didn't speak. "Since the decree 12 years ago."
"What decree?"
"Everyone knows it expect you," Mizuki stated. "Iruka would try and hide it from you even now. He would do anything to shut me up."
"What is this decree?" Naruto asked. "Why does everybody else know about?"
"Don't tell them!" Iruka yelled. "It's Forbidden."
"The decree is that no one could tell you that the Kyuubi no Kitsune is inside you," Mizuki went on while completely ignoring Iruka. "The Fox Spirit that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed our village has taken over your body. You are the Kyuubi no Kitsune!"
"Stop it!"
"They've all been sneaking around, hiding things from you, your whole life," Mizuki added. "Didn't you think it was strange how they treated you? Like dirt. Like they hated you just for being alive."
"No, no, no, no, no," Naruto chanted as his Chakra became visible.
"Naruto."
"That's why you'll never be expected in this village," Mizuki stated. "Even your beloved Sensei hates your guts."
Iruka then groaned as pain raced through his leg.
...My Line...
"Iruka," the Sarutobi said as he stood across from the Academy Teacher. "Naruto never had a Mother or Father to care for him." Iruka looked down at that. "Naruto is shunned out of everything, and he doesn't even know why. Most people won't even look at him." Hiruzen let out a sigh. "How would you feel if everywhere you went people would turn their backs on you? That's why he gets in trouble. So, people would notice him. It may not show, but he's always thinking about the family that he doesn't have. He's hurting inside and there is only so much that Raika can do for him."
...My Line...
"Die Naruto!" Mizuki yelled as he threw a giant shuriken at the blonde.
The Uzumaki started to move away from the shuriken.
"NARUTO!" Iruka yelled. "GET DOWN!"
Naruto covered his head, but he looked up when he didn't feel any pain. Naruto and Mizuki could only stare in surprise with Iruka covering the blonde with his body and the shuriken was sticking out of his back.
"W-Why?" Naruto asked. "I could have made a Wood Dome to protect myself."
"Because...we're the same," Iruka answered. "When I lost my parents no one seemed to care. They didn't have time for me. They just forgot that I was there. My grads dropped. I became the class clown. I just wanted them to see me and to know my name. My schoolwork wasn't good enough to get their attention, so I did crazy things and then I had to pay for it. It was hard." Naruto could only stare in shock. "I know that's how you feel, Naruto. You feel lonely and it hurts inside, and I could have been there for you more." Naruto sat up a bit as Iruka cried silent tears. "I've let you down. I'm sorry. No one should have to sufferer that much. No one should be alone like that."
"Don't make me laugh!" Mizuki yelled with laughter in his voice. "Iruka has always hated you. He was orphaned because the Kyuubi killed his parents and now that beast is inside of you. He'll say anything to get the scroll from you."
"Naruto!" Iruka yelled as the blonde took off. "NARUTO!"
Mizuki cackled as he jumped down.
"You know once he makes up his mind nothing can change it," the white hair male stated. "He's going to take the scroll and get revenge on the Village. You saw the look in his eyes, didn't you? Those are the eyes of a beast."
The Umino then pulled out the shuriken from his back as he stood up.
"No," he breathed. "Naruto is nothing like that!"
He then spun around and flung the shuriken back at Mizuki, who just dodge.
"You're a joke," Mizuki stated. "As soon as I eliminate Naruto and get the scroll, I'll be back for you."
The Umino watched as the man left.
'I won't let you,' Iruka thought with a growl.
...My Line...
"This is not good," the Sandaime said as he could be seen watching everything through his Crystal Ball. "Mizuki has a big mouth. He made Naruto feel so bad, worst then he ever felt, it could unleash the power from within him. If Naruto keeps tampering with the Scroll the seal that locks the Fox Spirit inside of him could be broken and the beast could come out. If that happens...I fear for us all."
"I told you that you should have told him sooner, Hiruzen," Homura deadpanned.
"While Homura is right," Koharu intervened. "We still have to figure out what to tell the village about Naruto's ability to use Wood Style."
"I was planning on telling Naruto to wait until the Chunin Exams to show case that ability," Hiruzen informed her. "Also, it would seem that Raika and Naruto are cousins."
"How?" his two teammates asked in surprise.
The Hokage handed them a file and the two went through it.
"Minato is Tsunade's missing son?" Koharu asked in shock.
"Did you inform her?"
"I sent word through my summons, but she has not sent word back."
"You know," Homura said as he looked thoughtful. "That would explain why Lord Ryurama had an interest in Minato." This made the other two to look at him. "He must have felt the Senju Chakra that was flowing through the Yondaime's pathways."
The other two looked surprised that they didn't figure it out sooner.
...My Line...
Iruka was seen running through the forest looking for Naruto.
"Naruto!" he called out when he spotted him. "Everything Mizuki said was a lie! Give me the scroll hurry! He's coming after you to take it away!" The blonde then pushed off a branch and rammed his shoulder into the brown hair male's stomach making them to hit the ground. "It can't be." The Uzumaki removed the scroll from his back and then fell against a tree. "How did you know Naruto…" Iruka then turned around to glare. "How did you know…" There was a cloud of smoke and Iruka turned into Mizuki. "That it was me and not Iruka?"
The 12-year-old laughed before another cloud of smoke was seen and when it cleared Naruto was Iruka.
"Because I'm Iruka," the Umino answered with a smirk.
...My Line...
Naruto sat nearby holding the scroll as he listened in.
…My Line…
"You're a fool," Mizuki told Iruka as he stood up. "Why are you are protecting that freak? He's the one, who whipped out your family."
"I don't care what you say," Iruka stated. "You're not getting your hands on that scroll."
"As if you could stop me," the white hair man exclaimed. "Don't you get? Naruto is just like me."
"How's that?"
"He wants the scroll for his own power and his own vengeance that's how beast are," Mizuki answered. "He'll pure all his rage into the scroll and destroy everything."
"Your right," Iruka seemed to agree.
…My Line…
This made Naruto to gasp.
"So, it's true," Naruto breathed. "Iruka-Sensei never believed me. He thinks that I'm some kind of beast. Like I am some kind of...freak."
…My Line…
"That is how beasts are, but that's not how Naruto is," the brown hair male went on. "He's nothing like that. Naruto's one of a kind, works hard, puts his whole heart into it. Sure, he messes up sometimes and everyone jumps on him, but his suffering only makes him stronger. That's what separates him from being a beast. So, your wrong. He's nothing like the Kyuubi no Kitsune. He's Naruto Uzumaki of Konohagakure."
…My Line…
Naruto had tears in his eyes at hearing Iruka say that.
…My Line…
"You really believe that dribble?" Mizuki asked as he removed his last giant shuriken. "Iruka, I was going to save you for later, but I changed my mind." He then started to spin the shuriken around. "YOUR FINISH!"
'So this is it.'
A knee than nailed him in his chin making the shuriken go off course.
'Naruto,' Iruka thought in shock at the sight of them.
Mizuki sat up and whipped his chin.
"Not bad for a little punk," the white hair male stated.
"If you ever lay a hand on my Sensei," Naruto growled. "I'll kill you."
"Such big words," Mizuki said. "I can completely destroy you with a signal move."
"Give it your best shot fool," the blonde stated as he had made a cross sign with his pointing and middle fingers of both hands. "I'll give it back to you a thousand folds!"
"Let's see you try!" the Rogue Chunin yelled. "Show me what you can do Kyuubi no Kitsune!"
"SHADOW CLAN JUTSU!"
Surrounding Mizuki was over a thousand clones of Naruto.
'Naruto,' Iruka thought. 'Those aren't just illusions. Their solid clones. He's mastered an extremely advance Jutsu.'
Mizuki was freaking out as he looked around him at the clones of the blonde.
"What is this?" he asked as he fall onto his ass.
"If you're not coming."
"Then we'll come after you."
The white hair male let out a scream as Naruto and his clones moved in and started to beat the rogue Chunin.
"Sorry, I got carried away," Naruto laughed as Mizuki laid at his feet badly beaten. "You okay, Iruka?!"
"Yeah," the Academy teacher answered with a smile. 'He's amazing. He wants to surpass all of the Hokage and I'm starting to believe that he just might do it.'
...My Line...
"Are you telling me that no one can find Naruto?" a ninja asked as they all stood outside of the Hokage Tower.
"Not a clue."
"This is bad news. We've got to smoke him out or something."
"There's no longer any need to worry," the Sandaime told them as he walked up.
"Lord Hokage?"
"The Scrolls safe," he informed them. "Naruto will be back soon."
...My Line…
"Sensei?" Naruto asked. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," Iruka answered with a smile. "Oh, I have a surprise for you. We're going out for roman tonight." When Naruto didn't say anything, Iruka blinked. "Huh?"
"IRUKA-SENSEI!" the blonde yelled as he tackled the man.
"Ow, that hurts," Iruka groaned. 'Naruto, this is only the beginning.' The two males messed around. 'The road gets tougher now that you're a ninja, but if I told you that I guess it would ruin the moment. So, I'll tell you later...over some roman.'
