The Forgotten Sages (Naruto fanfic)

Chapter Eight

It was late at night that an alarm set off and a congregation of chunin and jonin, "Everyone there was a break in at the Hokage library and the forbidden scroll of seals was taken, the known causes Naruto Uzumaki and Kaori Urahara," everyone was in uproar except for the the siblings of the two suspects and Iruka who had a look of worry, while Mizuki smirked, 'Ha now everyone will be in a rush I'll be able to go get the scroll and get rid of those pair of demons.' he internally monologued unaware of Naomi lurking in his mind, 'I see, so that's what happened.' she connected a mental link with Kairi, 'Kairi we need to find those two quick, someone's out for them.' she said causing Kairi to internally seeth at that,

'Man can't these villagers and ninjas just give it a rest and accept us?' she asked knowing it was rhetorical

'Don't worry we'll find them and once we make him strong enough we'll be able to show our true power and make everyone acknowledge and accept us.' she concluded and cut the link off knowing Kairi agreed.

"Alright now spread out and find them and bring them back unharmed." after that everyone jumped off to look for them some with bad intentions, but the girls pretended to jump away but stood nearby and once Mizuki went off they followed and masked their chakra until they reached them.

~A Few Minutes Ago~

"Phew that was tiring." Naruto said exhausted after practicing the first jutsu out of the scroll while Kaori was done deciphering the eight trigram seal next to it and memorized a few more jutsus from it before rolling it up. "Hey why did you roll it up?" Naruto asked curiously,

" Because you baka we have company." Kaori said smelling a scent familiar and relaxed having Iruka popping out a bush.

"Finally found you two." he said looking angry and worried.

"Hehe guess you found us Iruka-sensei but now I'll show you the move I learned and you'll let me graduate." Naruto said starting off sheepishly then growing hopeful at the end which made Iruka look on fondly, 'He's been practicing hard on just one jutsu.' his thoughts instantly changed from fond to suspicious, "Naruto who told you that?" he asked Naruto completely ignoring Kaori was there making her pout, "Humph no respect." 'But I already know where this is going.' as Naruto got done talking about how he was told by Mizuki. Kaori heard the whistling of kunai coming their way, "Get Down!" she shouted while rolling out the way. Iruka pushed Naruto out the way and got stuck to the wall by the kunai making Naruto's eyes widen and turned to see who threw them, "Good job Naruto, now just give me the scroll and you pass."

"Heyy what's the big idea with throwing those kunai at us!!!" Kaori shouted at him while looking suspiciously at him, "Is this what all this is about?" Iruka asked

"Well what are you waiting for, give me the scroll and you'll pass."

"Don't listen to him Naruto!!!!" Iruka said to Naruto trying to snap him out of his shocked trance.

"Mizuki-sensei, what's going on?" Naruto asks staring wide eyed at him. Then Mizuki smiled " Come on Naruto, just hand over the scroll and you'll be a fully fledged ninja."

"Don't do it Naruto Mizuki's lying to you." Not wanting to waste anymore time Mizuki took his chance with the opportunity given to him and get the scroll. Kaori gets on her hands and knees looking down with a depressed cloud over her, "Ignored."

"No, Naruto it's Iruka and this village that lied to you." he internally grinned when Naruto looked at him confused with a glint of confusion.

"What do you mean?" Kaori came out of her sulking when she had a feeling what it was about after that line. "Oh just about the reason you're hated in the village." Iruka heard it and was horrified at knowing what was about to be said.
