a masked dropped
Naruto has recently taken the scroll of sealing he chuckled to himself slightly (the Naruto and Sasuke kiss never happened it was Sasuke and Kiba)
‘so, it’s time to drop this mask and show why you don’t mess with the warden’ he chuckles as a fire bean to spark around him he smirked to himself he opened the scroll and copied over many of the forbidden jutsu even gaining a special one that couldn’t be copied so he sealed it away
His hedge shimmered ever so slightly showing his true height of 5 ft 1 inches but as quickly as it came Naruto was back to his 4 ft 9 inches appearance though a smoker nearby lighter changed the fire from a more orange/red to a deep green and light green though ever so briefly he stopped the fire and re lit it the fire back to its normal colour he shrugged as he lit his cigarette
“Naruto what are you doing” Iruka asked shocked at Naruto reading the scroll the words Mizuki saying true that he did steal it but why
“oh, hey Iruka sensei” Naruto says in his usual hyperactive ness or well his masks “do I pass the secret exam” Naruto asks with a smile Iruka stopped
“what secret exam” Iruka asks
“you know the one that Mizuki sensei told me to do get this scroll and I will pass the exam” Naruto says innocently sounding confused but, on the inside, he was smiling
“Naruto” Iruka started “Mizuki lied we need to get the scroll back to Hokage-s… watch out!” he yelled as he pushed Naruto the way as a few kunai were launched at were Naruto was but Iruka was in his place and got a kunai to the leg and on scraping his side
When they turned to were the kunai here thrown, they saw Mizuki with to giant shuriken strapped to his back
“Nice job Naruto” Mizuki says with a smile “now give me the scroll” he finished his smile turning into a smirk
“Naruto! Don’t’ give him the scroll that is dangerous that scroll has forbidden jutsu sealed within it and Mizuki used you to get it” Iruka shouts he pulled out the kunai from his leg ready to fight his best friend well former best friend now
“Naruto there’s no point in you having it. Give it to me and I’ll tell the truth why everyone hates you” Mizuki says with a smirk
‘yes, tell me so I can have a reason to hurt you’ Naruto says smirking internally but his face as confused
“N.NO! DON’T IT’S FOBBIDEN” Iruka yelled as he gets up but the wound leg he couldn’t as he was in a lot of pain
“12 years ago, the demon fox Kyubi no kitsune attacked and was defeated by the lord fourth, right?” he starts getting a nod from the boy “though on that day a rule was created” Mizuki says smirking
“a rule?!” Naruto asked confused externally but his internal smile just got bigger
“but Naruto this rule was never men to be told to you” Mizuki says his smirking slowly turning into a smile
“not told to me? What is this true? Why?” was curious and confused
“hehehehe”
“what kind of rule is it” Naruto says
“a rule that nobody is allowed to talk about the fact that the fourth hokage defeated the Kyubi by sealing it into a baby” Mizuki says
“huh! A baby? How?” Naruto asked inside he was just waiting for the right moment
“that baby was you, that makes you the Kyubi no kitsune” Mizuki says Naruto as angry both internally and externally
“what do you mean?” Naruto asked angrily
“STOP IT” Iruka yelled
“It means that you are the Kyubi that killed hundreds and destroyed the village you killed Iruka parents and many others” Mizuki said “you were sealed up by the hokage you admire and…”
“STOP IT”
“…you have been lied to by everyone. Didn’t you find it odd how everyone hated you? Iruka is the same he always hated you” Mizuki shouted the last part as the as he one of his giant shuriken was spun around his arm “nobody will accept you” he yells as the shrunken was throw
the whole world was in slow motion for Iruka a giant shuriken headed right for Naruto who confused face turn to a smirk Iruka tried to get up and defend him but some unseen force was stopping him but when it was about to hit the shuriken was caught by Naruto shocking them all
“you really are an idiot” Naruto says in a cold tone completely different than what Iruka was use to ‘what happened’ was all Iruka could think he threw the shuriken back at mizuki it going int a tree near by
“to think this is new to me AND to think that I’m the fuzzball” he says shocking them both “I knew about Kyubi I since I was five and let me tell you something, he is far nice that 90% of the village population dumbass” he says with a smile green fire coved his hip but he didn’t scream
“let me show you my true self then Mizuki” he says as his body seamed to shimmer and he grew to 5 ft 1 inches his haired turned blood red his whisker masks thickened his eyes were what as the most different the sclera was pure blue the iris yellow and the pupil a slit much like the Kyubi but the colour was a silver He stretched his waist still on fire
“being under that hedge for so long really did hurt though if you call me the Kyubi your wrong I am still very much Naruto Uzumaki” he says smiling showing off longer and sharper canines than normal
“enough of this demon die” Mizuki says as he threw the shuriken will all his might Naruto smile the green fire became a pair of waist armour with mouths either side of his hip looking like a human skull with elongated canines the mouth glowing with green fire
out of the mouths shot a black lantern connected to a connecters that look like bones with epiphysis with glowing green fire on his left side on his right is a sickle seamed to glow a little bit with green energy with the same connecters the sickle blocked the shuriken deflecting it and sending it into a nearby tree much to Mizuki’s, Iruka’s and a hidden observers shock
“let’s play” he says as his hands ignite in green fire the covered the sickle and the lantern showing black bones in the fire were Naruto should be a near pitch black mist began to roll in form the lantern Naruto only saying one thing
“if you would” the mist fully covers the area in a smoke like mist their being little sparkles of green all around but then children began to sing
(play thresh theme)
“cling clang go the chains” the voices of several children rang out threw out the mist freaking the two chunin out this was Naruto doing was this a genjutsu “someone’s out to find you.”
“[kai]” Mizuki says making the seal but nothing happened
“cling clang goes the chain” the children kept singing as the green lights began to glow Mizuki pulled found on his Fuma shuriken and held it out Infront of him panicked it as just like the just from the mist hidden in the mist but something as wrong something felt off the mist around Iruka thickened making it impossible to see
“the wardens right behind you” the children AND Naruto’s voice said from behind Mizuki he spun around trying to slash were he heard Naruto but it was blocked by a glowing green arm the figure they saw a person covered in some of the mist only showing their arm as well as one of their eyes
Their arm is monstrous able to fit a whole head within the palm with three digits two fingers and a thumb with glowing red veins the eye is glowing in yellow, orange and red before Mizuki could comment he was knocked out from behind by a simple pressure point to the neck
“thank you” he says a child come up glowing green also he pats their head getting a giggle she holds her teddy bear
“now go she must be worried about you” he says she nods and turns into a orb of green energy and shoots into the lantern Naruto nods to the figure who is still hidden in the mist who nods back they also go into the lantern in the same way the mist began to go into the lantern being sucked in by an invisible force
the mist was gone as if nothing was had happened the only difference is a Mizuki knocked out on the floor and a shocked the sickle is pulled into the waist armour mouth while the lantern is attached to the to the right side of the waist vie an unseen hook
“you alright Iruka-sensei” Naruto asks genuine concern in his tone the glow of his lantern is the only thing that remains with the glowing green energy
“N-Naruto” Iruka asks
“yeah it’s me” Naruto asks his hand glowing in a medical jutsu a very minor one that stops the bleeding of Iruka’s wound in his side
Naruto using chakra stings a rather advance chakra control exercise Naruto he used these strings to grab the two fuma shuriken using his right hand they disappeared in a puff of smoke as he closed his hand around a part of it, he laid then near him and then wrapped Mizuki in the strings
him using his right hand to stop the bleeding for Iruka’s legs a cat masked ANBU appeared her hair long and flowing her hair purple a sword by her side
“Neko-chan” Naruto says while still healing Iruka using his chakra strings to give a knocked out Mizuki to the ANBU nods
“you do know I have to bring you in as well” she says as she slings the chunin over her shoulder getting a nod
“I will come willingly if Iruka sensei is given medical attention” he says she nods as she touches Iruka should as Naruto toucher hers they shushined into the hokage office Naruto breathing heavily she shushined away with Iruka and Mizuki
“oh god that is sickening” he mumbles the lantern glows a bit more but pulsing he pats it “I’m fine just a bit dizzy it’ll pass” he says to the lantern concerning the people in the room even if some aren’t out in the open
“Naruto?” Hiruzen asked concerned lasing his tone
“yeah jiji” Naruto asks confused a bit
“are you alright your talking to a lantern” Hizuren asks Naruto chuckle
“I’m not talking to the lantern but what’s inside of it” he says with a coy smile he pats it “dear can you come out for a bit” he says the lantern glows very brightly as a orb the same colour as the fire it began to shift and form into a girl with a teddy glowing green outline with some clothing she looked to be around 6 years old Hizuren nearly jumped out of his skin at the very sight
“hello mister, big bro has talked a lot about you” she says with a smile then blinking in surprise having not introduced herself first “oh my name is Annie” she says with a smile
“Naruto what going on” Hizuren asked holding his chest as he tries to calm down
“well this lantern holes the souls of the dead Annie is one of these people there are varying degree of people from minor sinners to major sinners and the innocent the sinners get a fitting punishment for their crime while the pure get to relax in a paradise I have made for them seeing as the place is linked to my mind scape” he says Hizuren looked to Annie in shock
“so young” he says he was no stranger to death especially of fresh genin but she would only be starting academy
“Annie here was cursed giving her dark powers she embraced them like any child would she gained some fire abilities with the time where she was chakra wasn’t very common” he says he pats Annie on the head she giggled
“oh” was all Hizuren could say
“now jiji you know that lesion you tough me about deception” he asks getting a nod “I put it to good use as you can see” he says doing good guy pose making Annie giggle “alright Annie go back in please she is probably making some pie for you” he says she smiles and goes back into the lantern the same way she came in
“how did you gain such a weapon” Hizuren asked going into his professional
“on my fifth birthday” Naruto says a dark edge to his voice
“ah I remember that well” Hizuren says supressing a shudder he still has nightmares with what he saw when he arrived
“the thing is hokage-jiji I have nearly died many times and I have met the Shinigami he was the one to give me this weapon he said it once belonged to a argent warden who loved to torture souls the Shinigami would always revived the man as he was a soul wraith a type of undead that uses only soul energy the light energy you see” he explained
“he grew arrogant and one day he died but the Shinigami didn’t revie him but made him suffer the same fate as he caused many innocents” he says a sadist smirk “he is still their screaming in pain” he says with a chuckle but he coughed
“sorry” Naruto says “but I kept up the dislike of a fool so the council wouldn’t try and make me a weapon or kill me is I got to powerful” he says Hizuren frowned remembering several meetings on said topic
“now jiji does this count as my graduation” he asks with a smirk “remember I can still use the sexy jutsu” Naruto says hiruzen paled a bit
“I was going to graduate you anyway Naruto do not worry” hiruzen says quickly Naruto smirks
“good well I mist be off I will collect my head band early I need to sleep out of the hedge for once” he says with a content sigh Hizuren nods Naruto leaves to his apartment
‘kami above I would hate to be the council” Hizuren thinks to himself before going back to his arch nemesis paperwork
