Ch 1: His mask
Konohagakure no Sato, one of the five great shinobi villages and the strongest of them at that. It prospered under the Will of fire, the philosophy which Hashirama Senju, the Shodaime Hokage, founded the village and all of its shinobi have lived by. It states that the entire village is like a large family and every Konoha shinobi with the Will of Fire loves, believes, cherishes, and fights to protect the village, as previous generations had done before them. Such examples of said ninjas are the Hokages, the strongest, wisest and most respected of all; their names are forever recorded in the history of shinobi. The first one was Hashirama Senju who possessed the feared mokuton, he was followed by his brother, the Nidaime, Tobirama Senju, who had such an affinity for suiton that he could extract water from dry air. The Sandaime Hiruzen Sarutobi, the student of the Shodaime and Nidaime, known as "The Professor" for his mastery over the shinobi arts. And finally the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze, Konoha´s "Yellow Flash", the man who sacrificed his life in order to seal the Kyuubi no Yoko into his own son, saving his village while condemning his son to the life of a jinchuriki. And the man who would set the path for said son to become the strongest shinobi the elemental nations would ever see.
It was night time and the only thing one could hear in the streets of Konoha was absolute silence. The ANBU, the elite shinobi force directly under the control of the Hokage, who acted as his sword and shield, went by their assigned patrol area, making sure that the peace the civilians enjoyed in the night wasn't disturbed. How come they didn't notice the Hokage monument being defaced was a question none could answer.
"Idiots…idiots all of them." Thought the defacer. A young teen with a height of 5"9 (1.80m), pretty tall for a fifteen year old. He was wearing a black hooded jacket that failed to cover all of his blond locks. In the back of said hoodie you could see an orange whirlpool, and if you looked closely you could see that it was formed up by nine fox tails. He wore black anbu pants with the ends tied up by the shins with dark blue medical tape, a long sleeve V-neck shirt of the same color that had an orange stripe in each of its sleeves and the kanji for nine in the front. Underneath it he had a mesh shirt and also wore black ninja sandals.
"Well not that I can blame them. I mean my stealth skills are pretty much the best in the village." he muttered.
"But they still should have expected you to do something tonight. Either it be a prank or getting said prank ready." Said a deep voice in the mind of the prankster. "After all, tomorrow is the last day you have to attend that stupid academy Naruto".
"Yes… tomorrow is the genin exam, well at least the one that will show which of us can even become genin." Thought the blond. "Who do you think will pass Kurama?"
"Ten… Yes only ten will pass, but I am sure you know who they are." Responded Kurama, or as the village knew him the Kyuubi no Kitsune. The strongest bijuu, the one who could create tsunamis or break mountains with the swipe of one of its tails.
And Naruto definitely knew who the ten future genins would be and the teams they would form. Nine clan heirs and a civilian. Shikamaru Nara, heir of the Nara clan, son of the Jonin Commander Shikaku Nara. A lazy genius with an IQ of 200, someone even Naruto would be hard pressed in a battle due to his strategic mind. While some where three steps ahead, Naruto could be from ten to twenty and Shikamaru, well he normally was from fifty onwards. Choji Akimichi, heir of the Akimichi clan, son of Choza Akimichi. There really wasn't anything he could say about Choji now that he thought about it. He could practically be defined as a peaceful and kind glutton. Don't get him wrong Choji had the potential to be great, but he would need a rude awakening in order to even grasp that potential. Ino Yamanaka, heir of the Yamanaka clan, daughter of the second in command of the T&I department Inoichi Yamanaka. A rash, loud, dieting and annoying fangirl. The only reason she would had a chance of passing would be her clan techniques.
And these three would definitely be put together because of the Ino-Shika-Cho rate of success in a capture and interrogation team. Nothing else.
Then obviously came the tracking team conformed by a Hyuuga, an Aburame and an Inuzuka. Following that order we had Hinata Hyuuga, possible heir of the Hyuuga clan, first born daughter of Hiashi Hyuuga and older sister of Hanabi Hyuuga. She was a docile and shy girl who didn't have the resolve necessary to harm the enemy. Reason why she was the "possible" clan heir after all they couldn't have a weak clan heir, because as Naruto once said to the Hokage, "The Hyuuga clan is made up of a bunch of old minded traditional bastards with a stick shoved so far up their ass it could probably stick out of their heads Jiji." Then came Shino Aburame, the clan heir of the Aburame clan, son of Shibi Aburame. He had great control over his clan techniques, which focused on the use of special chakra consuming insects called Kikaichu. His weakness like many members of his clan was his low chakra reserves and lack of any kind of Taijutsu or Bukijutsu. Kiba Inuzuka, clan heir of the Inuzuka clan, son of Tsume Inuzuka and younger brother of Hana Inuzuka. His clan was widely known for their feral natures and the bonds they had with their ninken. Kiba specifically was a rash, gloating and a foolish bastard. He thought everyone should bow down to him and his whims, especially the girls. Of course he didn't really have any luck with that last one.
Finally the heavy hitting team, or the first response. The one where he could either end up making part of or being paired with the most. The one with four possible members.
The first one being Sakura Haruno, a civilian girl, daughter of a member of the civilian council. She was just like Ino or even worse, the only difference is that she didn't have any clan techniques and had book smarts with a good chakra control due to her incredibly low reserves. Nothing really worth noting. Then came the Uchiha twins, the prince and princess of Konoha, the two only survivors of the Uchiha Massacre done by their elder brother, "The Kin Slayer" Itachi Uchiha. A prodigy only seen once in every generation, graduated at age 7, Chunin by age 10, at 11 he entered anbu and at 13 he became a captain of said organization. Sasuke Uchiha and Izumi Uchiha, the last Uchihas with Sasuke being the clan heir. The son and daughter of Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha. Sasuke in his opinion was a cold arrogant and broody duck-butt bastard with a holier than thou mentality. It was always Uchiha elite this and Uchiha elite that with Sasuke. Naruto didn't really remember seeing Sasuke before the massacre, unlike his sister that he had seen sometimes with their mother, so he couldn't really tell if he was always like that or if it was a result of his brother's actions and the villagers worship over the young Uchiha. His fangirls -read as every single female of their approximate age and others with a more pronounced age gap- didn't make things better. Izumi Uchiha was, in the blond´s sincere opinion, the better of the two siblings. Indeed, she was distant to the point of being called aloof, a little bit cold and completely silent but she knew there were people better than her in different areas and unlike her brother she could accept defeat. Like her brother she had a group of fanboys –also read as every single boy of their approximate age and some with a greater age gap- but it wasn't like he could blame them. For a girl fifteen years old she was way overdeveloped comparing her to the rest of their classmates. While you could call Hinata, Sakura and Ino cute or pretty, Izumi was downright beautiful. She had a heart shaped face with midnight black/blue that almost reached her derrière, long and shapely legs that went on forever and an enviable mid D-cup breast. Her full glossy pink lips and obsidian black eyes just made this goddess even more desirable.

He may or may not have been a little biased with her description.
"Not that I could help it. What with being a teenager with raging hormones and a fur ball bastard who finds it funny to use said hormones to cause me public humiliation" Naruto thought remorsefully. "You would also do the same in my position kit." replied said fur ball. "Not much I can do in here aside from sleeping and watching what you do. Blame your father and mother for that."
With a tired sigh Naruto continued his previous trail of thought. "And lastly the tenth future genin, me. The village pariah, the number one unpredictable knucklehead of Konoha, the Prankster King of Hell, the Demon Brat, the idiotic loser who will never amount to anything."
"Don't worry kit. Soon you will be able to show the world your true potential. That of the last royal heir of the Uzumaki clan and only son of the Yellow Flash and the Red Death of Konoha, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. The Jinchuriki of the great Kyuubi no Yoko, Kurama. A Fuinjutsu and Kenjutsu master. The one who has greater chakra reserves than most Kage´s. The one who will surpass every single Hokage. The one who never gives up or goes back down on his words. The one who will be known as the Golden Maelstrom of Konoha." Kurama said with pride. "And the one I think Old Man Rikudo spoke of. The Child of Prophecy, the blue-eyed youth who will be able to name the nine Bijuu and frolic among them."
"The Golden Maelstrom of Konoha…. Heh bet you took a long time to think of that one"
"Are you doubting my naming skills?" Kurama asked "I'll let you know that I am extremely proficient in the art of naming…. Unlike your dad."
"HEY! I like the name Naruto" Muttered the blond.
"Yeah… I like it too Fish-cake." Replied Kurama with a low chuckle.
"I really hate you sometimes" answered Naruto.
Seeing that he had already finished defacing the Hokage monument and that, as the rest of his pranks, this one was an exquisite work of art he decided to call it a night. Well dawn since it seemed that he had wasted more time in his mind ramblings with the fox than he thought. Still didn't matter, due to having Kurama sealed inside him he got some quite nice perks, like sleeping a small amount of time and it having the same effects of the normal eight hours.
It was a beautiful and tranquil day in Konoha. The birds were chirping, the merchants and adults of the village were ready to start the day, the young infants ate breakfast and got ready for another adventure with their friends in the different schools and the soon shinobi to be were leaving to the academy in order to learn the magnificent ways of the Ninja.
Or that was what Hiruzen Sarutobi the Sandaime Hokage had wished for when he woke up. The village was currently in disarray due to a certain blue eyed blond prankster he so happened to love like a grandchild. The reason… the Hokage monument was defaced. Again. "I have to admit it…. He outdid himself this time" mused the elderly Hokage. The Shodaime had bright red "lipstick" and purple toned mascara with one if its eyes closed as if winking. The Nidaime had a perverted goofy grin like that his own student and said student´s student wore quite often. He also had a nosebleed and a pair of sharingans. "Oh the irony. I bet Hashirama sensei would have laughed and Tobirama sensei blushed with rage at seeing their faces like that" He thought with a chuckle. Now, his own rock face sported quite the nice mustache, if he said so himself, and a mischievous smirk coupled with a little golden cartoonish four pointed star near his eyes. His rock face looked handsome. What almost made him have a heart attack and was causing such a ruckus in the village was the face of his late successor. It was painted spectacularly, like it had come to life. That golden blond hair and those deep blue eyes he had only seen in one other person, they were painted with such a care that left him speechless. The only thing his successor didn't have and made the pit of his stomach fall, was the three whisker marks on each of his cheeks. Had Naruto found out about his parents? Did he also know about the Kyuubi? Does he know about the law? These were the only things that went rampant through the Hokage´s mind.
"If he has learned of who his parents were then what else does he know? I need to talk to him. This could bring serious harm to the village if Naruto were to take actions for the hatred the villagers have shown him since the beginning." The Hokage realized. "Neko!"
"Hai Hokage-sama!" came the response of the anbu captain with said mask. She was a Kunoichi with purple hair and her mask with the figure of a cat was decorated with red lines.
"I need you to bring Naruto Uzumaki to this office right now." The Hokage ordered.
"Permission to speak freely Hokage-sama"
"Go on."
"Right now Uzumaki-kun must be taking the test to become a genin Sir!" the anbu said "Shouldn't we wait until he finishes to bring him here, after all isn't this his third and last chance Hokage-sama?"
"You are right Neko. Alright after Naruto-kun finishes his exam you are to bring him here immediately!" The Hokage stated.
"Hai Hokage-sama!" with that the anbu captain left to her previous spot and waited for the time to search for the young blond.
After the anbu left Hiruzen turned to look out of office balcony and with a drag of the pipe he had just ignited wondered "If you already know about your father Naruto-kun, what else you know? What else have you hidden from the village?"
He woke up with the sound of knocking on his door. Expanding his senses he realized that the person waiting outside was none other than Iruka Umino his academy sensei. At first Iruka treated him like the rest, with contempt in his eyes but at the same time he was professional and didn't let his emotions affect his work. He had really appreciated that. As time passed it seemed that Naruto had managed to worm his way into his Sensei´s heart to the surprise of both.
Getting up and seeing that last night's clothes were intact and considering he had bathed last night before going out, Naruto decided to forgo changing into new clothes.
"Well let´s get the last day of this farce started" thought the blond.
In a puff of smoke the tall black clad blond teen disappeared and in his place a midget wearing an orange jumpsuit –read as monstrosity by the rest of Konoha- with a bright grin on his face appeared.
"I still don't understand why the Henge no Jutsu is so underestimated. I mean, with it we can transform into freaking anything" thought the boy. "It's because only you are capable of making said transformations completely solid. In your case the Henge changes from a D-rank to an A-rank" Kurama commented. "As a Kitsune I must say I am goddamn proud of you"
"Why thank you" Naruto mentally replied as he got ready to open the door and continue with his farce.
"Hey Iruka-sensei how are ya!?"
"DAMN PISSED OFF WITH YOU, YOU STUPID BRAT!"
"HEY DON'T YOU DARE SHOUT AT ME, I AM GONNA BE THE NEXT HOKAGE YA KNOW"
"NO YOU´RE NOT IF YOU MISS THE GENIN EXAM BECAUSE YOU OVERSLEPT!"
"Huh? Th-That was today?" a sheepish Naruto asked while rubbing the back of his head.
"Yes, yes it is. And I am going to enjoy watching you squirm through it all" said Iruka after grabbing Naruto´s head and picking him up using said head.
"ITAI! OY LET ME DOWN IT FREAKING HURTS!"
"Ah? Is that so?" replied the Chunin with a sadistic smile "To bad that we are taking the scenic route to the academy then. Oh and before I forget we will be talking about defacing the monument later Na-ru-to-kun."
The blond could only gulp at that.
It was already time for the third part of the genin exam, the academy three, and with it Naruto´s plan of ending as the dead last was coming around perfectly. In the first part, a written test, Naruto had answered enough questions to barely pass. In the second part, the shurikenjutsu and kunaijutsu test, he had it quite easily. Iruka´s assistant teacher Mizuki-teme had given him blunt and dull shuriken and kunai. He just needed to use a little of Fuuton manipulation in some of his weapons and there, he had the bare minimum to pass again.
Now the third test was causing him quite the dilemma.
"Fail it"
"No"
"Come on I need you to fail it"
"I said no, besides it's not a need it's a want"
"C´mon kit I need to know what he has planned, it could be incredibly fun"
"I'm not failing this so you can amuse yourself, you bastard fox"
"Oh please you will just need to show that old monkey your skills and you'll be promoted"
"I JUST SAID NO YOU GODDAMN FOX AND SHUT UP ALREADY IT'S ALMOST MY TURN"
"Alright I'll stop…. Sheesh you´re no fun" "As if I would let you ruin my fun kit"
"Next…Naruto Uzumaki"
Entering the testing room Naruto saw Iruka and Mizuki with clipboards in front of a desk filled with headbands. Looking at Mizuki´s forced smile he admitted to himself "I also want to know what Mizuki-teme has planned but I won't risk it. My graduation is way more important"
What is he talking about you may be wondering, well another of Kyuubi's perks was an advanced sensing prowess. With it you could even sense the negative emotions of others, and for a while Mizuki's had been really dark.
"Now Naruto you must show us the academy three in the next order: Henge, Kawarimi and finally the Bunshin no Jutsu" said a smiling Iruka.
"Sure Iruka-sensei! OIROKE NO JUTSU!" and with that shout a completely nude busty blond with her hair tied up in long pigtails and three whisker marks in each cheek appeared in a cloud of smoke. Her appearance caused a large nosebleed to come out of the two adults present in the room and a certain scar faced Chunin to throw his clipboard to the transformed blond's face. The clipboard hit its target, although to Iruka´s surprise it was Mizuki´s face who received the blow. Hearing a chuckle and a hand posing itself in his shoulder, Iruka turned around to see the face of the Yondaime Hokage. After getting out of his shock at the perfect transformation of Konoha's greatest hero, the Chunin realized that Naruto not only had made a perfect replica of the Yondaime, he had done it after doing a seal less Kawarimi and a Henge without the chakra smoke that tended to go with it, and everything at the same time.
Seeing the now de-transformed Naruto walking back to his original place and Mizuki standing next to him Iruka said "Congratulations Naruto, although you shouldn't have done that first transformation, you did make a perfect Henge of the Fourth and a seal less Kawarimi. You should be proud of yourself." Causing a large goofy grin to appear in the orange clad teen. "Now the only thing left is the bunshin and you will become a genin"
"Alright here I go Sensei!"
"I am really sorry for this kit….. Or not"
Now, Naruto knew he couldn't do the normal academy clone, after all his chakra reserves were larger than those of the Hokage. So he was going to do his favorite Jutsu of that type The Kage-Bunshin no Jutsu. It was an A-rank kinjutsu that created solid copies of the user and when dispelled gave back the original all of its memories. The downside was the chakra cost. A seasoned Jonin could very well create ten of this type of clones; Naruto could create a thousand without breaking a sweat.
What Naruto didn't expect was the bastard fox sending him a mental image. A very provocative mental image of a certain Uchiha.
Izumi was on top of a white bed while wearing a light blue bikini….if you could call that a bikini with all the skin it showed.
With a mischievous glint in her eyes that promised a lot of pleasure the teen Uchiha said while reaching for the back of her top.
"Na-ru-to-kun, Shall we have some fun?"
And with that said Izumi´s bikini top fell down.
Naruto came back to reality with a jolt when he saw a plume of smoke appear next to him. Out of the smoke came out a half dead pale clone.
With shock Naruto could only hear Iruka shout at him "YOU FAIL!" and Kyuubi´s failing attempts to stop his laughter.
"Come on Iruka, let Naruto-kun pass didn't he make an excellent job with the other two? We could let this one pass" Mizuki said.
"You know we can't do that Mizuki, all the other did at least two perfect clones. I won't let someone pass if they can't make something as easy as the Bunshin."
And with that Naruto left the room, bangs covering his eyes.
Outside of the academy you could see the parents of the new addition to Konoha's forces congratulating them and imagining the great future their sons and daughters had ahead of them. Some others sent not so subtle glances to a certain blond that was currently sitting in the only swing by that part of the academy.
If you were to ask a civilian why they sent so many glances to the blond they would answer with "He looks disappointed and angry, I really don't want to be here if that Dem- Boy were to show his true colors and unleash that"
"I really hate when they talk about me or look at me like that" Thought the scowling Naruto.
"Well kit, I think it's because of the scowl"
"I don't want to hear anything from you right now"
"Oh come on you liked the mental image, don't even try to deny it"
.
.
.
"Yes I did like the image, but as I stated before refrain from talking to me. I am concentrating in the depressed look I have to give."
"You realize you don't look depressed right? You actually look somewhat murderous and a bit constipated."
"…"
"..."
"….."
"Hey…..Hey kit"
"….."
"Kit….Hey kit….. Kit Kit Kit Kit Kit…..Hey kit guess what"
"….What?"
"THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO START!"
"…..Indeed"
Looking up he could see Mizuki approaching, a fake smile like always.
"Hey Naruto-kun, how are you doing?"
"Not so well Mizuki-sensei" sad the blond with a sigh. "It's just after this, my dream, my hard work and my promises, are they really over, were they useless, did everything I said where just empty words?"
To say Mizuki was shocked after that answer was an understatement.
"Well who cares if the demon can have deeper thoughts than ramen and becoming Hokage, this actually makes everything easier"
"You must understand Naruto-kun, Iruka just doesn't want you to get hurt. You see he has experienced the pain of losing your friends and teammates in battle, and just wishes that you don't suffer the same fate. After all our job line is very dangerous"
"You are Right Sensei, but you know I'd do anything to become a ninja"
"Well if those are your honest thoughts Naruto-kun I will tell you about a little secret exam that will let you become genin if accomplished."
"REALLY!? Come on Sensei what is this test? I'll do it you'll see!"
"Hook, Line and Sinker" thought the two shinobi and the fox inside one of them.
"This has been way too easy" thought Naruto.
"Tell me about it" replied Kurama. "Knowing you, I won't need to tell you to copy everything in that scroll will I?"
"As if either of us would let this chance pass. The best thing is that in this scroll there must be something nice to add to some of my little Fuinjutsu projects."
"Indeed, by now I believe your Fuinjutsu skills have surpassed those of your parents, so coping or adding any other to the ones you already have must be easy for you" commented Kurama "Take that Minato Kushina, your son at fifteen has already surpassed you both!"
"All right let's get started" muttered Naruto while creating eleven clones.
"Okay guys, ten of you will start copying the Scroll, while number 11 will read every Jutsu and dispel itself once he finishes with that. I'll see what Jutsu I can work out while Mizuki arrives." The original blond stated.
.
.
.
"I should have definitely asked for the meeting time" Thought a bored blond. "It's been what five? Six hours?"
"Five Hours forty-three minutes and twenty-five seconds." Stated Kurama "But who's counting?"
As Kurama said it had been already five hours since Naruto stole the Forbidden Scroll from the Hokage tower; the sun had already set almost two hours ago and there were no signs of either Mizuki or any other force sent by the Hokage, who must have surely noticed its absence, to retrieve the scroll.
"Hey Kurama, should I dispel the rest of the clones?" asked the teen.
"Hmmm… Yes it would be for the best, we don't need you getting distracted by one of them dispelling in the middle of the battle I'm sure will come."
Sending a message to the clones for them to dispel in groups of ten, Naruto sat at the base of a tree to go through the memories he was about to receive. Memories of groups of clones each practicing a different Jutsu, chakra control exercises, and some sealing methods he now knew thanks to the scroll were being organized when he felt a familiar chakra signature approaching him.
"Kurama could you please finish organizing the memories? I need to prepare for what's about to happen."
"All right. I'll try to finish as fast as possible" replied the Kitsune.
"Thanks"
Retransforming into the orange wearing midget, this time looking worse for wear as if having been in a street brawl, Naruto waited for the familiar chakra nature to arrive. While waiting he felt another familiar, but darker, presence approaching the clearing where he was waiting.
"NARUTO!" shouted a furious Iruka. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?"
"Hey there Iruka-sensei! I just passed the secret exam right!? I mean being able to steal the Forbidden Scroll from the Hokage residence is totally awesome and Shinobi like! Right?" exclaimed the blond.
"Secret test? Naruto what are you talking about?" Asked the Chunin.
"Huh? You know the secret test! The one that will immediately make me a genin! Mizuki-sensei told me about it" Naruto answered.
"Naruto there isn't a secret test, Mizuki lied to you"
The face of the blond fell at that.
"Wh-what but why would Mizuki-sensei lie to me?"
"DON'T BELIEVE HIM NARUTO" Shouted a just recently arrived Mizuki on top of a tree branch. "He is lying to you. In fact everyone has been lying to you"
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"MIZUKI DON'T ITS FORBIDDEN"
"It's quite simple Naruto. It's the same reason why everyone glares and insult you." Started the white haired Chunin. "The reason why everyone hates you, included Iruka, it's because you are the Nine-Tails Incarnate!"
"Wazzup"
"Perfect timing as always"
"I try my best to serve" answered Kurama "So…What's up"
"Put it simply Mizuki-teme is giving an evil monologue of how you can't be defeated and dad sealed you in me, making me by default you incarnate. Also how he will give the scroll to Orochimaru and gain incredible strength to destroy Konoha…or something like that." stated in a bored tone Naruto. "You know I should go, he seems to be finishing"
"NOW GIVE ME THE SCROLL AND DIE DEMON!" shouted Mizuki as he sent a barrage of shuriken towards the blond.
"How about no?" replied the blond and to Mizuki´s and Iruka´s surprise deflected every single shuriken with a katana he pulled out of his jumpsuit.
"H-how did you?" muttered in disbelief Mizuki.
"What? The fact that I was able to deflect every single shuriken? The katana I clearly didn't have mere seconds ago? Or is it the fact that I already knew about the Kyuubi and befriended him, or that I clearly hid every single skill I possessed because deceit is a ninja's greatest tool?" replied the blond to the question. "By the way Kurama, what Jutsu did my clones manage to master?"
"Oh yes, the Jutsu; well Kit your clones managed to learn quite a few" responded the fox. "To be more exact five B-Ranks, one of each of the main affinities. You got Fūton: Senpūken, Suiton: Suijinheki, Raiton: Gian, Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku and Doton: Doryūheki."
"Three offensive and two defensive, a good combination." Thought Naruto. "So my furry friend shall we test them?"
"You know it" replied with a laugh said furry bijuu.
"You know Mizuki-teme, you are quite the lucky guy" said the teen to the Chunin "After all you are the first person to ever taste some of my true, actual skills. So? Shall we have a retake of the genin test?"
At that a plume of smoke enveloped the jinchuriki, and from it came a tall teenager with medium length blond locks that framed his forehead and the sides of his face (Like Minato but a little shorter) and deep blue eyes that promised retribution to those who wronged him. Wearing the previous night´s outfit of a black hooded jacket with an orange whirlpool on the back, anbu pants of the same color tied by the shins with dark blue medical tape, a black shirt with the kanji for nine and a mesh shirt underneath, with black ninja sandals to complete the look.
Mizuki took a step back.
"What? Scared of me Mizuki-teme? Laughed the blond.
"S-scared? Of you? A filthy little demon! Ha ha ha… Now Naruto you should know that a Little Henge won't change anything right?" replied Mizuki.
"A Henge huh? He´s underestimating me even after what I have showed him" Thought the blond with narrowed eyes. "Well then, should we test the efficacy of this 'Henge'?" he asked with a smirk.
Grinding his teeth at the smirk the blond showed him, Mizuki sent another barrage of shuriken with a yell. Like last time the blond deflected them with his sword.
"What is throwing shuriken all you know?" taunted the blond. "Don't worry, it's my turn now" and in a burst of speed the blond appeared behind the white haired Chunin and sent him tumbling through the air with a well-placed kick.
"F-fast" thought the forgotten Iruka.
Mid-air Mizuki turned towards the blond while going through a set of hand seals. "Suiton: Teppōdama!" exclaimed the man as he shot a water bullet from his mouth. "Let´s see you evade that!"
"Five seconds until it hits" Thought the blond as the water shot came closer with each second. 4 seconds "Now, how should I evade this?"
3 seconds. "He is not going to make it!" Thought Iruka with worry.
2 seconds. "Ah! I can do that!" realized Naruto. "This should be fun" mused Kurama.
1 second. "HA! TAKE THAT DEMON! / NARUTO!" shouted Mizuki and Iruka respectively.
Zero.
The Jutsu hit Mizuki in the chest and sent him crashing into another branch.
"That's two of the academy three Mizuki-sensei!" informed Naruto to the man standing where Mizuki previously was. "Shall I show you some other Justus's after I perform the Bunshin? You know, for extra credit."
"I-impressive" whispered the scarred Chunin as he looked towards the blond.
Standing with a groan of pain Mizuki gave a shaky laugh. "I must say I am impressed, but with just that you won't be able to defeat me Naruto."
"That so? Could swear I was the only one who had managed to land a hit. Oh well, then you won't mind If I raise up the level a bit, right?" asked with narrowed eyes the blond.
At that he summoned out a smooth black mask with the form of a fox from a seal inside his jacket. "You know? I was expecting to use it in a real fight, not against someone like you. But well, you have started to really piss me off, so I plan to end this in a really painful way for you." Stated Naruto as he put on the mask, blue marks appearing in it. "Let´s see how you deal with this"
Disappearing in another blur of speed Naruto appeared again behind Mizuki's back. Unfortunately for the blond the Chunin had been ready for this and stabbed the blond with a kunai through the chest. To his surprise the stabbed blond burst into smoke. "Kage Bunshin!" Mizuki realized. "So you know the Kage Bunshin huh?" he asked while trying to pinpoint the teen´s location. Mizuki´s answer came in the form of a kunai coming from his left, which he barely dodged, followed by a knee to his face coming from his right side. Proving again his speed, Naruto appeared above Mizuki and delivered an axe kick which sent him plunging into a pair of clones who were going through different sets of hand seals. "Fūton: Reppūshō!" exclaimed a clone while the other shouted "Suiton: Teppōdama!" After the wind enhanced water bullet found its mark and left him sprawling on the floor, the man turned into a mud version of himself.
"An earth clone" thought Naruto as he started to continuously jump back in order to dodge an assortment of shuriken and kunai that came from above. Mizuki kept firing kunai trying to corner Naruto into a tree. And as Naruto kept getting closer to the tree behind him a smirk appeared in the Chunin´s face.
That is until the blond jumped into the tree and disappeared into its shadow.
"H-how?" Thought the panicked Chunin as he kept looking for the blond. "To the left? No. Right? No. Front and behind? No. That leaves… ABOVE!"
"The answer…. is below" heard the Chunin as he felt his ankles being grabbed and dragged through the branch.
"Wonder why no one ever thinks below" Kurama stated.
"People tend to instinctively rely on the ground below their feet" Naruto replied.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, the feeling of being dragged down the branch stopped to let the feeling of dread enter Mizuki, as he realized that the blond left him stuck inside the branch.
"Now then Mizuki-teme, I could possibly end this by knocking you out but that would be too simple wouldn't it?" voiced Naruto as he crouched near Mizuki "You know… I really dislike traitors like you, but seeing as we always had such a… delightful friendship, I have decided to give you a second chance of sorts." Standing up Naruto started to walk away only to stop for a moment to say "Oh but don't get me wrong, I am solely giving you this chance to test some of the Jutsu I acquired from the scroll."
At that Mizuki found himself falling to the floor. Regaining his balance moments before landing, he saw the masked teen land some distance from him.
"You are going to regret letting me free Brat" snarled Mizuki.
"Sorry you said something?" replied Naruto with boredom.
Mizuki´s response was to dash towards the blond. His first punch was a feint directed towards the blonde's face followed by a foot sweep. Naruto jumped and kicked Mizuki in the face. Stumbling from the force of the kick and feeling blood dripping down his nose Mizuki stood up in order to lunge towards the blond. Only to find him in front of him ready to strike with a palm strike.
Two hits in the chest.
One in each shoulder.
The blond spins toward the Chunin´s back.
Three more hits. He spins again and faces the Chunin.
Mizuki struggles to move, but finds his body numb and heavy.
"W-what did you do?" asked the man.
Standing in a thinking pose and making a humming sound Naruto asked "Well you know about the Hyuuga´s Jyuuken right? Well it's the same concept" at this the almost forgotten and scared Chunin made a gasp of surprise. "B-but not only is it a secret family style you need the Byakugan for it!" exclaimed said Chunin. "Well it's not really such a hard style to understand Iruka-sensei. Using palm strikes they force their chakra into the tenketsu of their opponents and block their chakra pathways. As for the Byakugan, I replaced it with a combination of this mask and the wonderful possibilities that the sealing arts offer, but no one uses." stated the blond with cheer. "I mean, if it can seal a giant nine tailed demon fox into a baby and help someone teleport, then surely there must be thousands of other possibilities"
"But that is enough chit-chat don't you think teme?" asked Naruto as he turned towards the still struggling man. "It's time to test those Jutsu I said before. Ah! Don't worry I will not power them up to a point that they'll kill you, just to the point you wish they would" said the blond with a smile that only radiated coldness and contempt.
"Ah… Kuro-Naruto is coming out" Thought the Bijuu.
"Now, I think I have an idea on how to use them all and how they should react with each other in the end but I am not sure if it´ll work…. So any possible last words?"
"DAMN YOU, YOU FILTHY DEMON!"
"Ehh. Not the best I ever heard." Stated the blond. "Alright here we go!"
At that four clones appeared by his side and after arriving to their positions started going through several hand seals.
Doton: Doryūheki stated one of the clones as a corridor out of earth appeared around Mizuki.
Suiton: Suijinheki exclaimed another clone while he created a wall of water in front of the Chunin.
With a Raiton: Gian the third clone electrified the wall of water.
"Everything ready Boss!" said the clone who used the Doton Jutsu.
"Alright let's go!" stated the real one as he and the clone next to him said Fūton: Senpūken/Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku. With that the flames enhanced by the wind entered the earth corridor and hit the electrified water wall. The result was a hot cloud of steam with electricity running through it and the screams of pain of a certain traitor.
Cutting the chakra and letting the Jutsu end, Naruto waited to see the results of his attack and as the steam dissipated he was pleasantly surprised to see it had gone well. If they take him to the hospital immediately that is.
"Maybe I went a little bit overboard" mused the blond as he took of his mask.
"A-a little bit?" asked Iruka with a shaky tone.
Giving his sensei a bashful grin the blond faced the trees and exclaimed "Hey Neko-neechan! Could you take him to the Hospital? I´m sure Hokage-Jiji is waiting for me at the tower. Bet he is going to ask a whole lot of questions after seeing this little show." With that the purple haired anbu made herself known and went to collect the body of Mizuki. "As expected of the most unpredictable shinobi of the leaf; I´ll be waiting to see what else you can do Naruto-kun" said the female before vanishing in a Shunshin.
With a cheeky smile Naruto turned towards Iruka. "So Iruka-sensei did I pass?"
Iruka just smiled.

informed me that 5"2 isn't tall so I have changed to 5"9 that will be roughly 4 or 5 centimeters more than Shino in the stroy (Shino was the tallest in part 1 right?). Thanks for the correction!
I blame the midget of my cousin and his little midget friends for making me look bad.
