After a year of the incident that occurred at the academy, Naruto didn't seem to have any new sprouts of red spots on his body, and he still couldn't figure out what it actually was. He guessed it could of been a condition, like a illness, but it didn't seem to affect his body in a bad way. It kinda reminded him of scales, like that of a snakes but much larger. He moved his hands to his face and looked in the mirror, his eyes changed too... they turned a much darker blue, and around the slanted pupil was a purple like color. He placed his hand on his chest and sighed. He walked outside, hooking his pouch to his waist before jumping onto the roof and quickly headed towards the academy where he was greeted by a grinning Sakura, he could tell she was excited, but he should be too by the circumstances. Today was the big exam for passing to be a ninja, and he already failed twice before, so he however was a train wreck of nerves.
If he failed once more, that meant he couldn't redo the test.
He shuddered at the thought... then he would be the villages punching bag for life... he gulped before walking into the building with Sakura.
What's wrong Naruto-kun?
Sakura tilted her head curiously at the nervous look plastered across his face.
Nothing Sakura-chan.
She pouted making him sigh slightly and scratch his head at her face.
Just nervous...
She sighed before chuckling slightly.
You shouldn't be. It's just the clone jutsu right?
Naruto frowned as he rubbed his arm slightly, feeling the loose bumps that layed on his arms before turning towards her.
You know it's my worst jutsu.
She giggled before grabbing his hand and pushing it to his chest.
Well then, that's not the Naruto I know.
She grinned making him smile slightly.
Have some confidence. You are going to pass... I promise.
Sakura raised her fist and punched him on the shoulder making him grin slightly before nodding.
...
Naruto gulped as he shakily placed his hands together... this was it.. the final jutsu he had to perform...
Now Naruto, you have a unusual amount of chakra... so you must focus..
he remembered the old Hokage's words before he felt himself slip slightly... and he looked to his right to only see a dead looking clone on the ground.
s-sensei, can I have a redo.
Naruto chocked slightly before he heard a sigh.
I'm sorry Naruto, you failed.
Iruka stated with a small frown while his partner Mizuki patted his arm.
He did make a clone though.
He tried to convince his friend while Naruto slowly opened the door and felt his nails grip the door handle before it slowly was burned from where his finger tips lay.. before he slowly closed the door...
he walked past the parents that were congratulating their sons and daughters... but when he saw Sakura looking around... most likely for him... he turned and ran.. he couldn't face her.
There goes that boy...
he didn't pass right?
Thank goodness it didn't pass...
He growled as he ran before he finally stopped in the middle of the road before finally his tears overflowed.
What could I do?
He whispered while he felt a hand lay on his shoulder.
Naruto-kun?
He looked up and saw his sensei Mizuki.
Come, I have something important to tell you.
he whispered motioning the boy making Naruto nod slowly before following him onto a roof.
...
Naruto dashed along the branches with a huge smile plastered on his face while carrying a giant scroll.
I can make you pass, all you have to do is steal a fake scroll and learn jutsu by two hours...
the words repeated in his mind before he felt a tear slip down his cheek.
Why am I crying?
He wondered before he felt a small pull... pausing on a branch, he looked towards the wall of konoha he was close to... he shook his head... he needed to get this to the spot and learn a jutsu.
...
he hummed as he scanned the scroll.
He didn't say I only had to learn one...
he muttered before grinning and looking through the scroll...
Shadow clone jutsu... looks intresting.
He decided to keep looking before he paused on the handwriting.
Storm release... Scorch style.
he placed his finger on the strange kanji that had a slight different tone to it before he felt himself gasp as handsigns imbeded itself into his mind.
he grinned and put the scroll down.
I'll try that latter... now the shadow clone.
...
Iruka panted as he finally stopped on a tree branch above the blond who was equally panting and breathing hard.
Iruka-sensei!
He said happily looking up towards his sensei.
Naruto! what are you doing!?
Naruto tilted his head curiously
I'm doing the extra credit test. Mizuki told me all about it!
Iruka stumbled slightly.
He said if I brought this scroll here and learned a jutsu from it in two hours I can pass as a genin.
He said with a big smile making Iruka's eyes widen before he heard a whistle.
Naruto get down!
He pulled out a kunai and threw it and it stopped two shurikens from hitting the blond who looked over surprised.
Nice shot iruka.
Mizuki's voice echoed out in the forest before he landed on a branch. nearby.
What's going on?
Naruto asked confused while Iruka gritted his teeth.
Give me the scroll Naruto-kun. I shall promote you too the rank you deserve.... then...
Mizuki grinned before he grabbed the shuriken on his back and hurled it towards the boy with a manical look in his eye.
YOU WILL DIE!
Naruto didn't have any time to react as he saw the giant shuriken be shot towards him...
that's before a form appeared above him and took the massive shuriken in the back...
Iruka?
He whispered as he saw his sensei slowly crashed down on his knee in front of him.
Now iruka, you just want me to tell him don't you?
Mizuki cackled as he jumped down while Iruka gritted his teen before turning back, a hate filled glare thrown his way.
Don't you dare.
He growled while Naruto shook before looking up at his sensei who was betraying everything he could think of at that moment.
What...
he whispered while Iruka panted slightly before trying to throw a kunai towards Mizuki... only to be kicked down.
Just lay there and bleed out while I chat with it.
It? what did he mean... Naruto was very confused and angry.
Do you know what happened twelve years ago? on October 10th?
Mizuki was circling him like a shark in water... but was keeping his distance from them as Iruka was hovering over his pouch...
The Kyuubi attacked the village... and the Yondaime sacrificed his life to kill it.
Naruto stated... it was common knowledge... but what did it have to do with anything!?
Aah, but that's just the cover story.
Naruto blinked away the anger and it was replaced with confusion.
It is also the reason why you are hated... by everyone... even Iruka here.
he grinned manically before grabbing a kunai from his pouch.
What actually happened... was the yondaime sacrificed his life to seal the beast.
Naruto's eyes widened.
And only one thing can seal a bijuu...
He lifted his hand up looking towards Naruto before pointing directly at Naruto.
You... ARE THE KYUUBI.
He cackled before it blew up into a crazed laughter.
And now... I shall kill it!
He positioned his kunai before throwing towards Naruto who's eyes was as wide as they could be... before Iruka... for the last time... he threw himself in front of him and took it to his stomach.
Iruka-sensei... SENSEI!
He lifted his arms up as he came crashing back down. He scampered his way towards him while Naruto felt tears in his eyes.
You're... not a monster... you are only you... my best student.
He smiled before he went limp... the pulse was still faint... but Naruto didn't know that. only that Iruka stopped moving.
Once more... what a waste of space.
Something clicked inside of Naruto... a force... like a chain broke. He looked down at the peaceful look on Iruka's face... how could he save a monster like himself...
He felt his body burn... was he getting sick? no... it wasn't that. He felt different... strange even... like he was reborn... like he was something... new.
He slowly layed Iruka's head down onto the ground before slowly standing up... his legs wobbled before he stood firm.
Looking up slowly... he felt something deep within his chest burst... like his lungs grew...
and that's when it happened. he looked up as his eyes was morphed... the whites of his eyes were gone... it was purely a bluish purple as red spots began to form around his eyes... A bright light engulfed him in a sphere... but as he was he leaned his head back in a breath as he was engulfed by the light... a inhuman roar pierced the forested area and a few other nearby parts.
Bones snapping and growls left the light, as the sphere was coated in red before it revealed something only told in fairy tales... a dragon. a red blue eyed dragon.
he was frozen in fear... stuck on the spot while the dragon looked directly at him... but it did nothing... only stayed still for what felt like a eternity for Mizuki... but was only three secounds... and as the third secound ticked, the dragons head reared back and breathed in... his chest puffed before letting out a roar... but it was Naruto's voice with a inhuman texture to it...
Scorch style! Magnificent flame!
The surrounding area was ingufled in a white hot flame before the dragon outstretched it's wings before fanning the flames... making it twist like a tornado... but also blocking the flames reaching the fallen shinobi... Mizuki couldn't stand a chance as he was burned alive... the dragon looking up and roaring towards the sky...
