After a while of following Iruka, Itsuki and Naomi eventually stop on a tree branch, but when they look down their eyes widen at what they saw.

Itsuki was about to shout to Iruka, but Naomi stopped him.
Itsuki:*whispering* What are you doing, we need to help him!
Naomi: I know, but I think it be best if we stay back and watch.
Itsuki gritted, but nod and the two genin continued to watched.
Naruto: W-Why?
Iruka: Because we're the same. 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 grades dropped, I became the class clown. I just wanted them to see me, and to know my name. My school work 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, Itsuki and Naomi were surprised by this.
Iruka: I know that's how you feel Naruto, you feel lonely and it hurts inside, and I could've been there for you more. I let you down and I'm sorry. No one should have to suffer that much, no one should have to be alone like that. But I can tell that slowly it has been getting easier, thank to Naomi and Itsuki being there for you and I'm glad.
Itsuki and Naomi both smiled.
Mizuki:*chuckles* Dont make me laugh! Iruka, Naomi and Itsuki have always hated you. Iruka was orphaned because the nine tailed fox killed his parents and that beast is now inside you. He say anything to get the scroll from you.
Naruto then suddenly runs off.
Iruka: Naruto! NARUTO!!
Naomi: Itsuki you watch them, I'll stick close to Naruto.
Itsuki: Got it.
Mizuki then jumps down.
Mizuki: You know once he makes up his mind, nothing can change it. He's going to use the scroll to take revenge on the village. You saw that look in his eyes didn't you? Thoses are the eyes of a beast.
Iruka pulls the giant shurikan out of his back.
Iruka: No, Naruto isn't like that!
Iruka throws the shurikan toward Mizuki, but he easily dodges it.
Mizuki: You're a joke. As soon as I eliminate Naruto and get the scroll. I'll be back foe you.
Mizuki then head off after Naruto, and Itsuki jumps and run over to Iruka.
Itsuki: Iruka sensei!
Iruka: Itsuki, what are you doing here?
Itsuki starts to heal Iruka
Itsuki: Naomi and I followed you when we saw the commotion. We also heard about your past.
Iruka: I see.*sighs* I will admit, I do envy you and Naomi for being there for Naruto when I couldn't.
