The sky was dark, clouds of smoke raised to the sky.
Kyuubi was only giving Konohana a sample of her power, but still, the hidden village was on the brink of complete destruction.
A boy with a mask and grey hair ran towards Kyuubi with a chidori in hand (guess who?). She heard the sound of a thousand chirping birds and hit the boy with one her mighty tails before he hit.
One of the braver ninjas tried to distract the beast while the fourth hokage got here. The fox just smirked and with one swing of its mighty tail a tidal wave was caused almost drowning the whole village.

Naruto automatically woke up sweating and panting undesirably. How he loathed when Kyuubi presented him of that day! Or that accursed memory! “I hate you so much sometimes…”
“I try!” responded an unusual happy and quick response “plus had to wake you up somehow, cant have you miss the genin exams”
Naruto's gaze averted towards the clock and his eyes widened intensely at the digital numbers, “NANI!” he screamed loudly, unable to hold his shock and surprise. It was half an hour before the exams and he wasn't even dressed yet!
“You were saying?” she said with an amused tone.

Haruno Sakura was tying her red ribbon around her luscious pink hair. She remembered how her friend Ino gave it to her as a gift; they were in pretty good terms now since Ino liked Naruto and formed her own little Naruto fan club while Sakura continued to vigorously support the Sasuke fan club. She sighed inaudibly.
“Sakura, you're going to be late!”
“Ok mom, I'm going now!” with that said she jumped off her balcony and landed on the floor not in the most graceful manner but it was average considering she was an academy student.
“Sakura!”
She turned to her right to see Ino running up towards her; she waved in acknowledgement at the girl.
“Come on we are going to be late for the exams, Sakura!” she said as she caught up to her pinked hair friend.
Sakura nodded and started to walk along side her friend to the academy. On their way they met with Shikamaru, Choji and Sasuke.
Shikamaru was a little lazy… scratch that, he was VERY lazy, if he wasn't playing shouji he was looking at the clouds with Choji and daydreaming. But what sometimes annoyed Sakura and Ino the most was his frequent use of the word troublesome in most, if not every sentence.
Shikamaru and Ino's friend Choji was fat or as he liked to call it `big boned' if he wasn't eating, then something was very wrong with him. And let's just say that the last person who said the word fat ass in front of Choji got run over by a truck.
Now Sasuke, Sasuke was the survivor of the Uchiha massacre and had his own fan club. He had his secrets but other than that not much is known except for the fact that he rarely talked.
Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji and Sasuke made their way toward the academy. When they reached their destination it wasn't to their surprise the mess that was formed in the class room.
“How troublesome… lets grab a seat before we have to sit on the floor…” Shikamaru said in an annoyed tone.
Ino and Shikamaru seated in the last row of seats to the left, Sakura and Sasuke in the middle row of the left also and Choji on the front also in the left.
Iruka was about to begin the exams when suddenly the door banged open and a tired and out of breath Naruto emerged. “Sorry… (Pant) I'm late Iruka-sensei…”
“Well since your late it seems you have to sit next to Haruno” instructed Iruka while in his mind he added an again.
Naruto took his seat next Sakura who was currently asking Sasuke out on a date.
“Geez, doesn't she ever give up?”
`Apparently, no…'
Suddenly the whole room got quite when Iruka and Mizuki advertised them a brand new and sparkling Konoha forehead protector.
“When you pass the exams you will receive a brand new Konoha head band”
Everyone in the room got a sudden burst of energy while Naruto just scoffed. `I never wanted to be a ninja.'
“Come on kit, you need the money, plus, think of all the power you will obtain.”
“…” Naruto remained silent, he knew that Kyuubi was right and the power he will obtain would help him greatly on his revenge.
Iruka looked at a list and stated giving the instructions “now for the first half of the exam you will do the Bushin no Jutsu, for the second you will show us your taijutsu and for the third you genjutsu”
The door opened and through it entered a young female chuunin that wore the traditional chuunin uniform, her head band hanged from her neck, had red hair and amber eyes. “Alright guys! What did I miss?” she shouted.
“So good for you to join us Meian…you're late” said Iruka as he sweatdroped
“opps… my bad” she said as she scratched the back of her head nervously. She cleared her throat and stated giving the rest of the instructions as Iruka stepped into the next room. “Ok when I call your name step into the next room, ok! We start with Aburame Shino!”

It had been half an hour since the exam stated and Naruto was the last one to go, but actually he wasn't all that worried.
Sasuke walked out of the examination room with his hitai-ate tied to his forehead and the ghost of a smile.
“Ok last but not least on the list, we have Uzumaki Naruto!”
Naruto stood up and walked into the next room. There he met Iruka and Mizuki who where sitting in front of a table covered in brand new hitai-ate.
Iruka nodded at Naruto and said “ok Naruto; begin with you Bushin no Jutsu”
Naruto nodded back and made a cross seal, and with a poof of smoke five more Narutos appeared.
Iruka and Mizuki wrote something on the evaluation paper and Mizuki did a single clap. Out of the floor appeared a training dummy that Naruto almost instantly started pummeling into a pulp until all that was left of it were the stick and the cotton on the floor.
Iruka and Mizuki once again wrote something on the evaluation sheet and Mizuki formed a hand seal under the table, thus casting a genjutsu on Naruto.
Naruto quickly noticed this, canceled it and caste his own genjutsu on Mizuki.
Mizuki tried to dispel it but didn't make it in time and was trapped in it.
Iruka looked wide eyed as Mizuki dropped to floor with a massive nose bleed. “Naruto, what exactly did you do to him?”
Naruto smirked and responded “don't worry, he is his dreamland right now”
Iruka blushed furiously and wrote something on the evaluation paper, a wide grin appeared on his face “congratulations on graduating!”
Naruto wanted to cuss as loud as he could but Kyuubi mentally slapped him. He walked over to the table and Iruka handed over a brand new hitai-ate and looked closely at Naruto as if to take a peek at his face if he took the mask off, but to his disappointment Naruto put the hitai-ate on his neck.
He walked out the door and everyone stared at him. `Wow, looks like the glares are a contagious disease' he thought while making his way to his seat
“Mind them kit they are just jealous of your strength”
Naruto sat down and sighed. Next to him was Sakura who was fawning over Sasuke and showing him that she passed.
Sasuke was tuning out Sakura's voice and looking at Naruto surprised. `How did the dead last dobe pass?' he scoffed `must have cheated or something'
Sakura turned to face Naruto “hmp! Sasuke-kun did better than you!”
Naruto sweatdropped
“Right Sas-.” Before she finished that sentence Ino, who was in the seat behind her hit her on the head.
“What are you talking about? Naruto-sama can beat Sasuke any day!”
Sakura turned around “yeah right! Sasuke is from the exclusive Uchiha clan!”
“Well Naruto is from the amazing Uzumaki clan!”
“Ino face the facts! The Uzumaki clan was weak and was wiped out by a demon! The Uchiha clan was strong and made it through!”
“So, what? I bet Naruto is going to get a cool bloodline limit!”
“There are no records of the Uzumaki clan having one! And face it! Sasuke is going to have the greatest bloodline ever! The Sharingan!”
Suddenly everyone in the room started chanting in union `FIGHT!'
Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other and went into glooming mode
Sakura and Ino snarled and started cheering on their boy.
Naruto and Sasuke sweat dropped anime style and the same thing passed through their minds `this is going to be a looong day…'
Sakura and Ino started glaring at each others and after a few seconds the Naruto and the Sasuke fan club were behind them joining the glaring contest.
Suddenly Meian coughed “ahem! If I could have your attention; please?”
Everyone's attention directed towards Meian.
“You have officially graduated from the academy! Congratulations! You are now going to be stuck in a four-man prison! Ahem! I mean enrolled in a four man torture! No! I mean four men, ugh! Never mind. You will meet you jounin instructor tomorrow! Remember, teamwork is always an absolute must! It only gets harder from here on out! Good luck!”
Everyone stared even harder at Meian after the four man cell thing, while Naruto's face under the mask was something like this O...O
“Kit… she has to be the weirdest chuunin ever…”
The door to the examination room opened and a nose bleeding Mizuki stepped out. “Ahem! You may leave now!”
A stampede of genin flooded the room and ran out the door.
Naruto calmly stood up from his seat and headed for the door, Ino and Sakura's arguing not far behind.

Naruto was training in the forest until he realized that it was almost midnight “Damn it! I stayed out to late, I hope no one sees me…” he started walking toward the town when suddenly…
“The die as you should!” broke the calm silence of the forest.
Naruto recognized that voice `Mizuki'
“Let him kill who he wants, less work for us…”
“No! I'm not going to let that happen unless it with my own hands” Naruto ran quickly toward were the sound came to find and Iruka.
`That… that scroll, it's the scroll of sealing!'
Mizuki smirked when he saw Naruto “Oh it seems the demon has joined us”
“Ouch kit… pretend to be surprised”
Naruto nodded and acted surprised. “Hey! Hey! What's going on here! Hey!”
Iruka threw the scroll to Naruto “Naruto don't let him get the scroll even if you die!”
Naruto stumbled back and fell, “what? What's going on?”
“That is a dangerous scroll that contains forbidden ninjutsu sealed by the fourth! Mizuki wants to use its power”
Naruto pretended to be scared and crawled a few steps back.
Kyuubi scoffed “If this revenge thing doesn't work out, you'll have one hell of a career in acting”
“Naruto, ill tell you the truth and let's see who you trust more after that…”
Iruka knew what Mizuki was about to say, “N- no! Mizuki don't!”
“12 years ago you know about the fox demon being sealed?”
Naruto smirked under his mask; he knew what was coming next “huh? What does this have to do with me…?”
“…since that incident a new rule was created for this village” Mizuki gave a maniacal grin
“A… a rule? What kinda rule?”
“But Naruto, that rule was never meant for you to discover…” his grin got even wider if that's even possible…
`Yep, he's gonna blow the secret… well at least I can stop pretending I don't know…''
“What why?”
Mizuki laughed and Naruto and Kyuubi's smirks got bigger
“Kit, blow his mouth shut later”
`Yush! It would be my pleasure!' “Why… what kind of rule is it…”
Mizuki now changed from a grin to smirk “the rule is that no one can tell you that you are the nine tailed fox demon”
Naruto pretended to be surprised “huh?” he took a step back “what do you mean?”
Iruka didn't want to hear any more “STOP IT MIZUKI!”
Mizuki chuckled “it means… that you are the nine tailed demon fox that destroyed this village and killed Iruka's parents”
“Maybe if this wasn't so obvious you would be surprised…” Kyuubi sighed
`and maybe if 3 years of torture didn't happen I would be surprised” Naruto rolled his eyes and scoffed
Mizuki took his demon wind shuriken out and prepared to throw it “you were sealed up by the hokage you admire and were lied to by everyone”
Iruka shouted at the top of his lungs so Mizuki would stop.
Mizuki laughed, he knew Naruto was in `shock' little did he know it was only an act.
Mizuki got ready to throw the Demon wind shuriken and he thought of another way to insult Naruto “didn't you find it strange how everyone hated you, rejected you? Iruka is no different he detest you!”
Leaning to the small shed was Iruka all injured and covered in shuriken and his own blood, he panted and thought of what is Naruto's life `he has never known his parents' blood slowly dripped out his mouth `and he hated the village and all its inhabitants after THAT incident…' He though of how Naruto was before that incident.
Mizuki launched the oversized shuriken at Naruto.
Naruto took a deep breath a closed his eyes preparing for pain, he felt a drip of blood hit his mask and opened his eyes.
On top of him was Iruka who had the shuriken encrusted in his back.
He didn't understand, why would some one care for him he already has accepted the fact that he is a demon, not just any demon he was Kyuubi the ruler of all of them.
“WHY? Why are you doing this?”
More blood dripped out of Iruka's mouth and fell into Naruto's mask.
“Because you and I are the same, my parents they died”
Naruto didn't want anyone carrying for him, a few tears poured out of his face as he was about to say something he might regret “DON'T YOU GET IT! I killed them! And I enjoyed doing it, so stay away!”
Mizuki smirked “you see Iruka he is a monster and must be killed, don't you agree?”
`Kyuubi, this is why I must fight my past…'
"There's a difference between fighting your past and letting it drag you down kit."
`If you say so…'
Between Iruka's blood loss and Mizuki's insults Naruto was about to snap, `no, I cant, not here… I have to get away…' Naruto slipped from under Iruka and ran as fast as his feet could carry him.
“Naruto!”
Mizuki smirked, “hehe sorry… but Naruto isn't the type to have a change of heart”
“He plans to use the scroll to get revenge on the pathetic village” Mizuki came closer to Iruka. “You heard him earlier; those were the words of a demon”
Iruka removed the demon wind shuriken and flinched out of the pain as he stood up. “Shut up…”
Mizuki had a grin that was threatening to split his face in half “then I'll kill you first!”

In Konoha…
The hokage was looking into his crystal ball (A/N: what is he? An exorcist?)
“I found him… but I didn't expect this…”
`'What is going on…Naruto?''

Somewhere; in the forest…
“That was kind of harsh, don't cha think?”
Naruto sighed, he knew that he did something he would regret later but it wasn't time for that. He stood up from the little dark corner he was hiding in as he closed the scroll and rushed to find Mizuki and Iruka.

Impossible or not, he'd come this far. He had to fight. Running would only get the Naruto in trouble. 'I just hope this fight turns out a bit better than my little tussle with Akatsuki three years ago.' Screaming incoherently, Iruka leveled his kunai and charged.
When Mizuki parried his blow, the Iruka staggered backward, dropping one of his knives. Intending to counter, the enemy shinobi snapped a thrust kick aimed at Iruka's jaw. Dodging, the smaller Chuunin's foot landed on the fallen kunai and slipped, throwing up sparks.
Intending to capitalize, Mizuki advanced - until he saw the look of triumph on Iruka's face, and the kunai streaking at him, thrown by chakra gathered at the bottom of the Iruka's foot.
Iruka's moment of victory was brief. His opponent vanished in a cloud of smoke, the kunai thudding dully into a block of wood. And behind it, the real Mizuki had thrown a shuriken of his own at the now off-balance Iruka.
He was halfway through his own set of Kawarimi no Jutsu seals when the clang of metal on metal brought him out of his chakra concentrating trance. Looking up, he saw a kunai intercept Mizuki's shuriken. A woman's sharp, sarcastic voice echoed from a three above the combatants.
"Iruka, you always say you're more than just a babysitter, but being brave just isn't gonna prove it. Even your so-called dead last student had more brains than that, last I heard."
Two forms leapt down into the alley in front of Iruka, who took one look and blanched. Asachiji Meian sure did know how to make an appearance, but this took the cake.
"Naruto? What are you doing here?"
“His duty," the female chuunin snorted. "as a leaf nin”
Naruto scoffed “you're lucky, if I hadn't met with her on the way out of here your ass would be toast…”
Mizuki laughed “come on! You all know he is going to double cross you when he has the chance! He is a demon, a monster!”
Naruto made a noise halfway between a growl and a laugh, he pointed at Mizuki. “Even for me that didn't even make half sense!”
Meian put her hand in front of Naruto, “come on can we finish this? I want to make this bastard pay for making out with my sister.”
Naruto nodded as he charged making several hand sings. Suddenly a gust of passed, chakra started forming a sword in Narutos hand as the wind rushed around it. “Kaze Subeta!” Naruto rushed to attack Mizuki
Iruka, Meian and Mizuki's eyes widen, it was impossible for a genin to know that technic, let alone one who failed the academy for 3 years in a row!
The sound of bones breaking was heard as Naruto's wind sword hit Mizuki's arm almost tearing it apart and at the same time knocking everyone in the area back.
When Iruka and Meian opened their eyes they were surprised to see a unconscious Naruto on the floor and Mizuki with a huge gash on his left arm also unconscious.
Iruka stood up and put Naruto on his back while Meian kicked Mizuki in the face several time before grabbing him in a brutal maner. Both Iruka and Meian nodded and parted ways.
Iruka headed for Konohana and Meian rushed to the ninja jail.

In Konohana
The hokage was watching over Naruto and Iruka through the crystal ball, he smiled. `He still hasn't mastered Kaze Subeta but it was effective never less. Still now that he know about Kyuubi the power that is sealed may be released… the odds of the seal breaking and Kyuubi breaking out in one in a million, but it IS possible…' the hokage sighed
