Naruto screams this as loud as he can, Naruto makes the ram hand-sign and flares his chakra. His clones all start to glow as the chakra inside them becomes unstable. When they reach critical the clones all explode at once blasting Mizuki into pieces and leaving red stains and gore to litter the forest clearing leaving only a crater where Mizuki once stood.

"N-Naruto . . . you killed Mizuki. . . You used two highly advanced and DEADLY Jutsu and killed him . . . Are you feeling okay?" Iruka asks astonished.

"Yeah I'm fine Iruka-sensei. . .I feel bad that i killed him . . .but i had to or he would have hurt you and me and probably left the village with the scroll. . . .Am I a monster mizuki cause i don't regret killing him." Naruto asks tearing up once again.

"Naruto, No you aren't a monster. You feel bad that you had to kill him. That alone means you aren't a monster. True monsters kill without regret nor remorse. They do it cause it's fun. You did it because if you didn't you would have died as well. Don't feel bad okay?" Iruka says as he hugs Naruto close to him. As he's hugging him Hiruzen Sarutobi appears in the clearing with his ANBU guard.

"Iruka please let go of Naruto." Hiruzen says to his Chunin.

"Hokage-sama please it wasn't naruto's fault he-" Iruka begins saying before being interrupted.

"I know of what happened Iruka. I knew the whole time. Naruto is in no trouble. In-fact he is going to be paid for an A-Rank mission and it's going on his record as his first official Genin mission." The hokage says with a smile before walking to his Adoptive grandson.

"How are you Naruto-kun? Feeling okay?" The elderly man asks.

"I'm doing fine Jiji-san. Thank you for asking. . .but what do you mean? I'm not a Genin so how can i get a mission report added to my record?" Naruto asks looking at the man he sees as his own grandfather.

"Naruto my dear boy. . .I'm the hokage. . . I found out your test scores and schooling was being sabotaged from the get go. I knew it was Mizuki and i couldn't do anything or he would have made his escape. I'm sorry i couldn't tell you boy. But just know that your actions today mark you as a Genin of Konohagakure no sato. Pick up your headband tomorrow at team placements. I just met a man that . .. well lets just say that he even surpasses me in strength. He wishes to be your Sensei. Now then Naruto you're coming with me and We're going to celebrate your graduation. NEKO!" Hiruzen says in a commanding tone after hugging his adoptive grandson.

"Yes Hokage-sama?" Neko asks as she kneels.

"KITTY-CHAN" Naruto yells before tackling the purple haired kunoichi captain to the ground in a loving embrace.

"Oh kitty-chan i missed you so much. I've been so lonely without you while i was in the academy." Naruto says crying tears of joy.

"I know naruto-kun I missed you too." Neko says patting the boys head giggling softly.

Chuckling a bit Hiruzen merely shakes his head before speaking." Naruto let neko take Iruka to the hospital okay? He'll meet us in a few hours for the party in my office. Tiger, Grab the scroll and lets go. Come on Naruto-kun, Lets go buy you your new outfit and gear okay?" Hiruzen says as the Anbu operatives do what they are told. Hiruzen taking Naruto to the Market district as Iruka gets treated at the hospital.
