Chapter 39: The Beast

"Come on, Ino!" Yagami let go of the hand holding Ino, smiling.

"Well, I will! I'll be sure to show you the ninja forehead guard tonight!" Ino smiled confidently, turning around and jumping behind him.

"Ah~ The encouragement of the lover is really happy, Ino. Sakura, who was waiting on the sidelines, said enviously.

"You can catch up with Sasuke, Sakura, too. Ino encouraged.

"Obviously he has taken such an initiative, but Sasuke-kun is still out of reach. With a bitter face, Sakura grumbled.

"But the most important thing now is the shinobi exam, maybe you can be lucky enough to be in the same class as Sasuke!

"That's right!"

Yagamiki, who was standing in place, watched Ino and Sakura walk away, the smile on his face faded away, and he turned to go to his house.

In the center of Yagamiki's house, a crystal ball lay quietly on a purple couch.

Yagami sat down cross-legged in front of the crystal ball, his water brushing the crystal ball, which rippled like water, gradually revealing the image.

"Telescope technique!" "The ninjutsu of the three generations of old men used to monitor the ninjutsu of the ninja village.

The conditions for the initiation of this ninjutsu are very inconvenient. Most people only know that it can be monitored as long as it obtains the target's chakra trait, but that's really just a lock-on condition.

What really enabled the three generations of Hokage to monitor the entire village with this technique was the enchantment that enveloped the entire village. This technique is based on enchantments. With the enchantment, as long as the enemy is in Konoha Village, the three generations will be able to monitor it.

Yagamiki used only a weakened version of the three generations of old men, he had given Naruto a red crystal magatama pendant, and Naruto hung the pendant around his neck every day, and the pendant was Yagamiki's medium to observe Naruto.

"Now let me see how far fate has changed!"

Staring at the crystal in front of him, Yagamiki's pupils shone brightly.

"Thank you for your hospitality! Goodbye, Sister Calamus, Uncle Yile. With his head tilted, Naruto finished the last mouthful of soup at the bottom of the bowl and wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve.

"Come on, Naruto, after eating my sister's special love cheer up Ichiraku ramen, you must pass the shinobi exam with all your energy, and bring your forehead guard to see me!"

"Got it, Calamus-san!" Waving his hand, Naruto rushed out of the noodle shop and ran towards the Konoha school. After daily special training with Iruka, Naruto is now full of confidence in himself, and even the clone technique he is not good at has a fifty percent chance of success.

"By the way, don't get the doppelganger technique! Teacher Iruka is really good, and he refuses to reveal the exam questions!"

"Uchiha Sasuke, the doppelganger test has passed!" Mizuki, who sat in the examiner's seat and smiled gently, announced. After nodding to the examiner, Sasuke walked into the group of students who had finished the exam with his pockets in his pockets. Such a handsome temperament caused a group of girls to scream.

"Next, Naruto Uzumaki!" Iruka read, sitting next to Mizuki.

Naruto's hands were already covered in sweat, and he nervously walked over to the examiner's bench, where he stood woodenly.

"As long as you do what you normally do, Naruto, you'll be able to!" Iruka stared at Naruto, his gaze expectant. The encouragement he conveyed with his eyes was naturally picked up by Naruto.

"Are you ready, Naruto Uzumaki!" Iruka whispered

"Yes!"

"Let's get started, then"

"Doppelganger's technique!" poof~ A large amount of smoke rose from the ground, and a limp Naruto lay on the ground.

Hula~ In an instant, the classroom was filled with cheerful laughter!

"Haha......"

"Quiet!" Iruka shouted, patting the table in front of him.

"Naruto, you can try two more times. Mizuki-sensei said softly beside him.

"Hmm!

"The art of clone!"

'Failed!' Naruto lowered his head in silence, not daring to look into Iruka's eyes.

In his own house, Yagami frowned. Just now, through the induction of the pendant, he felt the change in the chakra in Naruto's body.

Actually, Naruto's seal posture is very standard, and he can't pass the test, is that fox the hell?

"Naruto Uzumaki, the test score is not passed. Iruka reluctantly crossed Naruto's name and announced.

"Hey Iruka, why don't you just give this child a good time, it's just a little bit worse. Mizuki, who knew Iruka's strict coaching style, said deliberately.

"No! the next ......"

After the exam, Iruka, who wanted to comfort Naruto, received an order for him to report on the exam.

So, everything seems to be back to square one.

Lonely Naruto, sitting alone on a swing, watching children his age show off to each other wearing forehead guards.

Inside the house, Yagamiki's crystal ball was covered by two giant fingers.

Naruto was rubbing the pendant he gave Naruto.

Closing his eyes, Yagami pressed the touch from the bottom of his heart. When he opened his eyes again, he already saw the face of a good old man, Mizuki.

"Naruto Uzumaki, yes, I wasn't going to tell you, but ......"

"What? Mizuki-sensei"

"In addition to the normal exam, there is also a special trial! Passing that trial means that you have the strength to become a shinobi, and you can also obtain forehead protection. ”

"Yes, but Iruka-sensei never said that. Naruto jumped off the swing a little excitedly.

"Oh~ That's probably because there is a certain danger in that trial. There was a student who was injured during a trial. Mizuki smiled, "Although I am harsh on you on the surface, I can feel that Irukata is ...... But I've always treated you like a brother. ”

"Mizuki-sensei, tell me what the trial is. ”

"That trial is a test of the hidden ability that a ninja must have, is it ......" And just like that, Mizuki, who thought he was smart, told Naruto about the task of stealing the scroll.

At this moment, Yagami Ki heard a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw Ino with a forehead guard tied to his arm. The latter was looking at him with a look of praise on his face.

"Did you get it, it's really worthy of Ino. Yagami said.

Then the girl became satisfied.

"To celebrate Ino's becoming a shinobi, let's go eat barbecue, and I'm just a little hungry. ”

"Hmm. ”

Bidding farewell to Ino and reopening the crystal, Yagami Qi saw two lines of nosebleeds flying into the sky, as well as two clouds of rich snow-white peaks.

"Seduction, Naruto!" Yagami silently wiped the bright red liquid from under his nose.

Bypassing the three Hokages who were defeated by the Seduction Jutsu, Naruto succeeded in obtaining the Book of Seals of Konoha .

Then in a part of the forest, I opened it with my curiosity.

Through the pendant, Yagami Ki can naturally see everything on the Book of Seals as well, however...... No interest.

Yagami had already learned enough ninjutsu from Orochimaru, and besides, it was just a forged book of seals, and most of the ninjutsu that could be watched by the shinobi with enough contributions. Even if it was a true Book of Seals, Yagami would probably only be interested in a few forbidden spells on it.

"Naruto, what are you doing!" Naruto was running, and was finally intercepted by Iruka.

"Ah~Iruka-sensei, are you also part of the trial?" Naruto said, touching his head.

"What are you talking about, Naruto, hurry up and return the Book of Seals!

"It was Mizuki-sensei who said it...... Dodge Iruka-sensei. Halfway through his words, Naruto shouted.

Iruka quickly fell to his stomach, and a huge Wind Demon shuriken flew from above Iruka into the layers of trees, slicing more than a dozen branches.

Turning over with agility, Iruka was half-kneeling on the ground ready to exert his strength, and one hand had already pulled out the kunai in the shinobi bag.

"Looks like you did it, Mizuki!"

The clouds drifted away, and the moonlight finally shone on the people hidden in the shadows.

"It's a shame that I almost killed you. Smiling grimly, Mizuki took down the Wind Demon shuriken that was behind him.

"Hey, Naruto, give me the seal book and you'll be able to complete the trial!" Mizuki smiled at Naruto, who was protecting Iruka's back.

"Naruto, listen to me, run, run in the direction of the village!" Iruka said, shooting kunai cover. Hearing Iruka's words, Naruto didn't hesitate to run away.

"Tsk, tsk, Iruka, you can rest assured that you will give the book of seals that is related to the foundation of Ninja Village to the demon fox. Dodging Iruka's kunai, Mizuki deceived himself.

Ding! The huge Wind Demon shuriken collided with Kunai, and then there was a piercing creak as the iron rubbed against it.

"Why is the demon fox who killed his parents so maintained?"

"Naruto, he...... It's not a demon fox!" said Iruka, kicking Mizuki into the air.

Phew~ Spit out saliva foaming with blood, and Mizuki's eyes were suddenly full of madness.

A pale green flask came out of his back and was poured into his mouth.

The muscles all over his body spasmed and twitched, and then suddenly became bigger, and Mizuki, who was originally of medium stature, instantly became a strong man!

"Is this for him?" Yagami frowned in front of the crystal ball. Something unexpected has arisen again.

"Hehehe...... Hehha...... Come on, Iruka, and let you see the gap between me and you now!"

Standing up, Mizuki opened his mouth and roared.

"Orochimaru's forbidden experiment! This level of power is no longer something that can be solved by Iruka alone. The three generations of Hokage, who were also silently observing everything in front of the crystal ball, thought to himself.

"Tanuki!" put down the pipe in his mouth, Miyo said.

"Hey!" a dark part wearing a tanuki mask appeared in the room.

"Lead a team of elite shadows to capture Mizuki!"

"Hey!"

In the forest, Iruka, who had endured Mizuki's heavy hand knife, finally fell to the ground.

"Since you can stop me for so long, it seems that you are not the waste I imagined, Iruka. Twisting his neck, Mizuki deliberately stepped over Iruka's body.

cough~ Iruka, who was already seriously injured, coughed up another mouthful of blood.

"Now I'm going to kill the demon fox and get back my Book of Seals. ”

"They...... Why do you call me a demon fox?" This question that had been bothering Naruto for a long time filled Naruto Uzumaki's mind once again.

"Did I really kill Iruka-sensei's parents?"

As soon as his neck tightened, Naruto, who was distracted, was suddenly strangled by Mizuki.

"Found you, Demon Fox!" Mizuki said with a sly smile.

The muscular arm tightened, and Naruto felt like he was about to run out of breath.

Poof! The original Naruto suddenly turned into smoke and disappeared. Mizuki only felt a pain in his back, he touched his back, and a kunai sho was deeply inserted into his vest, if it weren't for the strong muscle protection, he would have been seriously injured.

"Demon Fox!" shouted kunai angrily, and Mizuki roared.

"Where are you! Get me out!"

"I'll find you and tear you apart. Over here...... Over here...... Or here. Mizuki kept running, looking for one place after another.

Soon he found out that it was useless and that Naruto was hiding well.

"Don't you want to know why you're called a demon fox? I can tell you all about it. Mizuki said as he looked around.

"Thirteen years ago, the nine-tailed demon fox appeared. The huge monster kept approaching the ninja village, and in order to protect the ninja village, the ninjas sacrificed their lives to stop the demon beast from advancing. ”

"Your teacher, Iruka, lost her parents in this disaster. There were also as many ninjas as Iruka's parents, and my father died in that battle. ”

In the end, the four Hokage sacrificed their lives to seal the demon fox, but in the middle of the battlefield a baby with a fox beard appeared! ”

"You're the baby. ”

"Now you understand. You should have been hated by the people of the village! You should have been lonely and miserable!"

"Because you made the people in the ninja village lose their relatives, and let the four generations of Hokage die in the ninja village. ”

"Because you're the reincarnation of a demon fox!"

"So, come out obediently and let me kill! you, who have killed countless people and committed countless sins, should not live in this world at all!"

"How could this be!" Naruto, who was struck by the "truth", finally exposed himself.

"Found you, Demon Fox!" Mizuki was excited, and threw out the huge Wind Demon Shuriken vigorously.

The giant Wind Demon shuriken unleashed a fierce wind, slicing through the dense bushes, and finally nailed into the flesh and blood.

Blood splattered ...... Grass and trees flying.

In the hazy moonlight, Naruto's eyes widened.

In front of him, Iruka stood, the tip of a huge shuriken piercing through his chest.

"Naruto...... Run. Without making a sound, a large amount of blood flowed from that mouth.

"Hold on...... Naruto, if you're making ten or a thousand, Ichiraku ramen is waiting for you. ”

"Stupid Naruto! Shuriken isn't thrown like that, you should be like that. ”

"Probably...... It's because you're as lonely as I am. ”

…………

………… Iruka-sensei

Bright red chakra, boiling and burning. Sharp teeth pierced his lips, and his eyes had turned into scarlet beast pupils.

"I want you to die!!!"

The voice pierced the moonlit night, like the wail of a wild beast, and it was heartbreaking!
