Chapter Twenty-Three: The Plot Begins: Mizuki's Conspiracy
"How long have you been in the shadows? On the Hokage Rock of the third generation, the third generation looked at the village and asked behind him. "It's been two years, Hokage-sama. The face returned respectfully.
"You are the first ninja to awaken Kinoha's ability after Lord Tsuruma, and it is the hope and spirit of Konoha. The village wants you to stand in the sunlight and let everyone know that the mantle of Lord Pillar has been inherited!" the three Hokage turned to look at Mikoma. After that, he said slowly, "Mu Dun is the most effective ninjutsu to restrain the strength of the tailed beast, and you and Naruto are also good friends. I hope you can protect him in secret, so that he will not die before he grows up. ”
"Hi, Hokage-sama. Mian Ma smiled smugly in his heart at this time, and was guessed by himself.
"I'll take back this mask, and I'll announce to the outside world that you've been relieved of your position as a ninja in the shadows, and from today onwards you're a special shadow officer who is responsible for me alone. Any information will show that you have escaped from the shadows because of the awakening of Mu Dun, is there any difficulty!" The tone of the three generations was like a gentle wind and drizzle, without the slightest sense of command
"Hokage-sama, can I reveal my identity to Naruto?" said Makoto, asking his question respectfully. "You take this scroll, this is the highest level of hidden ninjutsu in the shadows. Don't let Naruto know your identity unless you have to, Naruto is still a child. The third generation said and handed him a ninjutsu scroll.
Back home, he lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling in a daze. "I really didn't expect it to become a hidden profession by accident! Protecting Naruto is exactly what I want. It's just that Kakashi-sensei, where is he going to do? Mizuma looked at the ninjutsu scroll on the table, "I hope this technique can be hidden from Kakashi-sensei for a while, and the future will naturally be solved by Hokage-sama." Thinking about it, he opened the scroll given by Hokage-sama, "Isn't this the hidden ninjutsu of Moonlight Blast!" and Moonlight Blaster have been on a mission in the Shadows squad for so long, so they naturally know the prestige of the first assassination ninja in the Moonlight Blast's Shadows. Moonlight Blast has a high attainment in concealment, hiding, assassination, and swordsmanship, and he also specially consulted Moonlight Blast about the skills of concealment and concealment. "No, this is more special than Moonlight Blast's Hidden Ninjutsu. It can completely restrain the breath and not be discovered by the enemy, but you must be careful not to move too much and have emotional stirring, so you don't have to worry about others discovering it. Konoha is worthy of being a strong country in the ninja world, and this kind of good thing is more practical than ordinary forbidden arts. ”
A month later, inside Konoha's ninja school. "Now that the graduation exam is going on, the people who were called will come to the next classroom. Also, the question of this exam is the art of doppelganger. "Iruka read out the questions and requirements for the ninja graduation exam as every year.
"Hehe, it's the same as in the original book. This year's graduation exam is really a doppelganger. Mizuki, you're a big yin person, are you finally going to start moving?" said Mian Ma as he hid in a big tree outside the classroom. Sure enough, because of the influence of the Nine-Tails, Naruto's condensed clone completely looked like he was about to die if his bones were broken by someone. "Fail. There was a feeling of helplessness in Iruka's voice, you must know that the relationship between Iruka and Naruto is similar to the relationship between father and son, and seeing his child's test results like this, he is a teacher at school, and the upright Iruka naturally has all kinds of feelings in his heart. "Teacher Iruka, his athleticism and physical strength are not bad, and his doppelganger technique is also completed, so let him pass. Mizuki's expression at this time revealed a smell of care and sunshine, it seems that Mizuki, a big yin person, should have practiced many times by himself. If you were in the Origin World, you should be able to get the nomination of the Golden Man.
"Mizuki-sensei, everyone's doppelganger technique can be divided into at least three, but Naruto has only one and it's useless at all. I can't let him pass. "Iruka really didn't see through Mizuki's conspiracy, and just thought that Mizuki was simply interceding for Naruto. This question is designed to address Iruka's attitude towards students. Naturally, Iruka wanted to try to expound his point of view as much as possible, trying to change Mizuki's senses to students, not for the sake of momentary pleasure. To be responsible for the lives of students, the mortality rate in the performance of tasks can be quite high if the basic skills are not qualified. At this time, Naruto was angry with Iruka, and if it wasn't for Iruka-sensei's unstoppable behavior, he would have become a ninja. And Iruka was immersed in his own self-blame, if he could care more about Naruto, Naruto should be able to pass this exam.
"Well done, worthy of being my son, you will be a ninja who can be on your own in the future. "Congratulations on your graduation! "Son, today my father invited you to eat barbecue. "Dad, didn't you say you invited me to eat hot pot, how did it turn into barbecue!" The festive atmosphere of the crowd brightened the door of the school building in the sunlight, and Naruto looked more and more lonely on the swing in the shade of the trees. Naruto naturally didn't notice the face numb hidden in the tree, "Naruto, your path to the protagonist begins today. After Mizuki's affair is over, I'll treat you to hot pot, but now I'm sorry for you first. Because I want to see the Book of Seals too!!" Mianma muttered to himself in his heart.
Mama was thinking that Mizuki appeared in front of Naruto with a sunny face, "Naruto, go sit down." "Well, okay" Mizuki led Naruto to a high platform and watched the sunset on the horizon, "Iruka-sensei definitely didn't mean to embarrass you. Naruto" "But why am I the only one who fails" "Maybe Iruka-sensei wants you to really get stronger! After all, you are just like Iruka-sensei, you are both orphans. "But I really want to graduate."
A subtle smile appeared on the corner of Mizuki's mouth, and if I hadn't been paying attention to him, I might not have noticed it, "No way, tell you." It's a big secret. ”
