Naruto heard congratulations all around him as the parents of his classroom showed up. Then he heard a conversation conversing between two women. "Hey, that kid?"

"Yeah, that's 'the kid' and he's also the only one who failed." They started snickering at that prospect. I bowed my head in shame.

"Well, that's a good thing," the first woman stated. "He shouldn't become a shinobi, since he's—."

"Shh, we're not supposed to talk about that," the later woman hissed. I knew what they were talking about anyways. They were talking about me being the container of the Kyuubi. It was plain obvious to see with their glares and hatred that I be held in their eyes. I looked up and noticed that Sasuke and Sakura were starting to walk towards me with Hinata following, but I shook my head, and I started walking away. I was too ashamed to talk to them, so I walked away. Sasuke signaled them to stop, knowing that I wanted to be alone at the moment. Sakura looked like she wanted to protest against it, but I knew she wouldn't.

"Naruto," I heard someone call after me. I looked to see that it was Mizuki-sensei. He tilted his head in a signal to follow him, and I did. We reached up to the rooftop above the school. "I know that you wanted to graduate today, Naruto."

"I wanted it so badly," he sighed in reply. "I wanted to be able to impress mom, Sasuke, Sakura, Aunt Kurenai, Asuma, Kakashi, Ojiisan and even Hinata.

"Well there is a way," Mizuki mumbled.

"Really," Naruto gasped as he found a way to make his family proud.

"Yeah, but I don't know if you'd be able to handle it," he sighed. "It's just so dangerous!"

"I'd be able to handle it, Mizuki-sensei," Naruto yelled, jumping to his feet. "Tell me, so that I can pass!" Mizuki smiled at him evilly as he now knew how to kill two birds with one stone.

It was the middle of the night, and Naruto was sneaking into the Hokage's office. He was able to get to the Hokage's scroll room completely fine before a voice startled him.

"Naruto, what are you doing here," Sarutobi questioned. Naruto gave a surprised yell as he turned to face the man.

"Man, I hope this works," he whispered.

"What are you—."

"Sexy No Jutsu," Naruto yelled. What the Hokage saw, startled him to life, and the pervish side of him fainted with a nose bleed. Naruto quickly grabbed the right scroll after the jutsu was cancelled, and he ran to the place Mizuki said to meet him and also practice.

"Let's see," he mumbled to himself as he opened the scroll and started reading what the first task was. "The first jutsu is 'Kage Bunshin No Jutsu'! Oh come on! Why do they have to start out with my worst jutsu!"

Iruka was laying in his bed, thinking about how he was supposed to train Naruto for another year. He wished that he would have passed with all his might, but Naruto just wasn't able to do the jutsu properly. If he was able to do at least one, he would have thought more about letting him pass, but he was never able to produce one, and he made up a ridiculous excuse about saying he has too much chakra! Don't get him wrong, Iruka liked him as a friend and as a teacher, but he's only twelve! There is no way he'd have too much chakra. Though…

His thoughts were cut off by a hasty knock at the door. He jumped out of bed to find that it was Mizuki at his doorstep. "What is it," he questioned.

"Naruto…Naruto has taken the scroll of the forbidden seal!"

"WHAT!"

XxXxXxXxX

"I want you to find him," Sarutobi regretfully commanded.

"Yes, sir," the ninja before him yelled before springing into action.

Anko ran as she tried to find her son before some of the more ruthful ninjas even found him. She feared the worst for her son, and Kakashi did also. Pakkun was leading them towards where he thought Naruto was at that moment. She had only the wish to be fast enough before the others found him."

Iruka was looking all over for our orange jumpsuit wearing boy, and he was starting to drift off into the woods. He ran around trying to find anything that looked like Naruto was there, but he couldn't find a place. Finally, he spotted something, and he looked to see that it was Naruto, thoroughly exhausted.

"I've found you," Iruka stated as he landed in front of him. Naruto started rubbing his neck nervously.

"Hehehe," Naruto said. "You found me. I was only able to learn one thing though!"

"What were you doing here," he questioned.

"I was training, like I was told," Naruto stated. "I learned the first technique, and I've got it all down now. So you've got to let me graduate!" Iruka stared in shock as he took in the boys condition. He had enough damage to his body to see that he had been training, like he had said. It just shocked Iruka even more.

"Where did you learn about that scroll," Iruka questioned, trying to find out how Naruto was able to learn some techniques.

"Mizuki-sensei told me about it, and he told me about this place too so that I could train. I was supposed to train until he came here, but since you are officially my teacher, I guess that you get to see how I've done!"

'Mizuki,' Iruka thought unnervingly as he found that his partner wasn't all he was supposed to be. He was even more shocked. All of the sudden, he heard whistling through the air, and he pushed Naruto out of the way as a storm of weapons dashed towards them.

"Nice job finding the moron," Mizuki smirked at Iruka. "Naruto, it's time you give me that scroll."

"Naruto, whatever happens, don't give him the scroll," Iruka ordered. Naruto was looking at both of them, trying to figure this out. "That's a dangerous scroll that has forbidden ninjutsu written inside it that is only to stay in Konoha. Mizuki used you to get his hands on it!" Naruto felt the Kyuubi agreeing with every word that Iruka said. Naruto knew when it was the Kyuubi, and it was his own gut feeling. He always took the Kyuubi's.

"Naruto, there's no point in you having it. I'll tell you the truth," Mizuki smirked, thinking that this would break him.

"NO! DON'T!"

"12 years ago, you know about the demon fox being sealed, right? There's been a special rule that was created for the village, and the rule was never meant to be told to you."

"What's the rule," Naruto questioned, shocked about not hearing about this from his mother or his trusted adults. Mizuki started laughing.

"The rule is that nobody is allowed to talk about the fact that you are the nine tailed demon fox," Mizuki stated.

"Stop it," Iruka yelled.

"It means that you are the nine tailed demon fox that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed the village. You were sealed up by the Hokage, and you've been lied to by everyone!"

"Stop it," Iruka yelled, but the two adults stopped talking after they heard laughter. They turned their heads to find that it was Naruto that was laughing!

"Did you guys really think that I didn't already know," he laughed. "I've known for years, and I've known what you've said, wasn't true, Mizuki. Now, Mizuki." It was Naruto's turn to smirk. "Have you ever met my mother?"

"What does this have to do with you dying, brat," Mizuki hissed. He heard movement behind him, and he turned his head to see if there was anyone there that would know about what was going to happen. He was met with a punch to the face. He fell to the ground.

"You never, and I mean NEVER threaten my son," Anko hissed as she started beating the crap out of Mizuki. She didn't see the kunai that drove into her stomach.

"Mom," Naruto called out as she crashed to her side, on the ground. That's when Naruto was seriously pissed.

"You will DIE," he yelled as he put his hands together in the sign that was now familiar to him. "KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!!!!" Everyone that was there was at awe as they be held at least a thousand Naruto's around them. Kakashi was wide eyed, and he had to check with his Sharingan to make sure that they were all real and not some jutsu that Naruto had made to just make it look like Naruto was able to make that many clones. It astonished him when he found that every Naruto was real!

Anko stared proudly as one of her son's clones bent down and picked her up, starting to run towards the hospital. "You did great, Naruto. I'm proud of you." The clone started to tear up, but he just kept going, the Naruto's around parting so she would be taken to the hospital as soon as possible.

"What's going on," Mizuki questioned in panic as he looked around to try and find the real Naruto.

"What's wrong, Mizuki," the Naruto's questioned. "Too afraid to fight one of your students?" Iruka was still amazed as Naruto was able to make clones in the first place, and they were solid clones! It's a jounin level jutsu!

He walked as they started beating on Mizuki, and heard the sounds of flesh beating on flesh and Mizuki's screams of pain. Naruto never seized to amaze him. When all of the clones disappeared, Naruto was standing over Mizuki, waiting for him to do anything. Mizuki was out cold. "Well, that solves that," Naruto mused. Kakashi started walking towards him, and Naruto smirked at him.

"Naruto, where did you learn that," he questioned.

"From the scroll," Naruto shrugged. "It's way easier than that other Bushin. It's really awesome too! Did you see how many I was able to make, Kakashi! It was so cool!!!!"

"Yeah, Naruto. It was definitely cool," Kakashi smiled behind the mask. "Now, let's get that scroll back to the Hokage, right?"

"But I wanna learn some more," he whined.

"No, Naruto," Kakashi stated. "Not without the Hokage's permission." Then, all of the sudden, he watched as Naruto started running with the scroll towards Konoha and shook his head. "He's going to get me into a lot of trouble."

"Yeah, well, you said with permission," Iruka smirked before throwing the beaten Mizuki over his shoulder. They started running back to the village.

"How was I to know that Naruto would be so excited for training with the scroll," Kakashi stated. Iruka rolled his eyes at Kakashi.

"Kakashi, if you don't know Naruto by now, I'm going to have to say that you have lost your mind. When has Naruto ever not thought about training?"

"When he's thinking about Hinata-san," Kakashi offered.

"Hinata, as in Hinata Hyuuga," he questioned.

"Yep," Kakashi stated. "Sasuke told me."

"Never thought that Naruto would actually start talking to her," Iruka stated.

"Didn't you know, Iruka," Kakashi stated. "Naruto is the number one most unpredictable kid out there. We'd never know what he'd do next."

"That is true," he smiled.

XxXxXxXxX

"Ojiisan," Naruto whined as he was kneeling in front of the Hokage. "Please!"

"No, Naruto, I'm not letting you learn anymore jutsus in this scroll. It's too dangerous," Sarutobi sighed. I will get you for this, Kakashi!
