Iruka takes Mizuki's shuriken to the back in place of Naruto. Thinking Iruka to be dead, Naruto loses control and prepares to unleash the Kyuubi, however before he can tear off the seal, he is stopped by the hand of his hero. The Yondaime Hokage...

Naruto sits in his cell thinking about all the events leading up to this. He was betrayed. Not thinking that it would actually happen he was slightly shocked even though he prepared for the slim chance of it happening. However, he can't help but smirk now that all is going according to plan. I've been working on the rewrite for a while now. If you enjoy this story, be sure to check out the rewrite and leave feedback. I want to make it an even better version of what it could be.
