The strength and speed of the spell seal Mizuki have been greatly improved.

The sudden increase in the opponent's strength caught Naruto a little off guard, while Mizuki became more and more familiar with the power of the spell during the battle with Naruto, and gradually Naruto began to fall into disadvantage.

Naruto has been growing up under the protection of Kushina for so many years, and his combat experience is too lacking, and he doesn't know how to turn the situation around after falling behind, and he has been passively beaten.

Yamanaka Yuan sighed, feeling the need to find someone to stimulate Naruto and let Naruto burst out with his due strength, just as there was an Iruka in the forest right now.

Thinking of this, Yamanaka sensed Iruka's location and teleported to his vicinity.

Iruka wandered around the forest still looking for Naruto, and Yamanaka did the same, luring Iruka to Naruka and Mizuki, and then his own disappeared.

Naruto's sudden appearance and disappearance made Iruka feel strange, but when he saw Naruto and a tiger not far away, after the battle, he immediately left the doubts in his heart and ran over.

At this time, Naruto no longer had the slightest backhand power in the face of Mizuki, and he had been passively beaten.

Seeing this, Iruka immediately appeared between Naruto and Mizuki and helped Naruto block Mizuki's attack.

At this time, Iruka realized that the "tiger man" in front of him was Mizuki.

Iruka and Mizuki have known each other for so many years, but they never knew that Mizuki still had this ability: "Mizuki, how did you become like this?" ”

"Haha! This is the power that Orochimaru-sama has given me. Mizuki said with a laugh.

Iruka was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said very seriously: "Mizuki, there is no power in this world, and becoming like this may hurt you." ”

"Humph! Iruka, what nonsense are you talking about? How could you people possibly understand Orochimaru-sama's greatness? Don't talk nonsense, hand over the Book of Seals, and I'll spare your lives, or else..."

Looking at Mizuki, who had already fallen into madness, Iruka ignored him, but turned back to Naruto and said, "Naruto, listen! Mizuki is not a good person, you should take the Book of Seals back to the Hokage-sama and give it to Hokage-sama, and tell him about the situation here. ”

Naruto was stunned, obviously not expecting Iruka to say such a thing. "Iruka-sensei, what are you going to do when I'm gone? Now Mizuki has the strength to be a special shinobi or even a shinobi, and you are not his opponent at all. ”

Iruka touched Naruto's head and said, "It's okay! No matter how I say it, it's also a shinobi, and you can still do it by dragging Mizuki, Naruto, let's go! ”

Mizuki snorted coldly when he heard this: "Hmph! Are you gone? And Naruto, you go back to the Hokage Building to send you to death, you know? Naruto, do you know what the crime of stealing the Book of Seals is? Neither Kushina nor Yamanaka can protect you.

And you really think that Iruka is really protecting you? His parents died at the hands of the Nine-Tails.

You are the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, in the eyes of the villagers, you are the Nine-Tails, do you think that in the face of your enemy, Iruka will really protect you?

Don't be naïve, give me the Book of Seals, and we'll take it with you to Orochimaru-sama. ”

Mizuki's words are all heart-attacking words, with a strong demagogy.

Naruto knew from a very young age that some people in the village hated him, at first he didn't know why, but later he knew that it was because of the Nine-Tails, Naruto didn't complain about anything, and silently took on this disgust.

However, the attitude of these people in the village still affected Naruto, and since then, Naruto has become fond of pranks.

On the one hand, I want to attract the attention of these people and pull in the relationship with them, and on the other hand, I am also venting the bitterness in my heart.

But no matter what he did, the attitude of the people in the village remained unchanged, and Naruto gradually felt cold, no longer doing such superfluous things, he would never forget the indifferent eyes of those people.

So after hearing Mizuki's words, Naruto subconsciously stayed away from Iruka, he was afraid, afraid that Iruka hated him like those people in the village.

Naruto's backward action made Iruka feel a little distressed, and indeed when he first learned that he was going to be Naruto's teacher, Iruka refused in his heart.

But when he saw Naruto use pranks to get the attention of those who hated him, Iruka remembered himself as a child, and it was this resonance that made Iruka gradually accept Naruto.

From then on, Iruka genuinely treated Naruto as his brother.

"Naruto, you trust me! I never have..."

As soon as Iruka was about to explain, Mizuki threw a shuriken at him, Mizuki and Iruka were only a few meters apart, and Naruto was behind him, Iruka couldn't avoid it.

He gritted his teeth and turned around and hugged Naruto, and Mizuki's shuriken was plunged directly into Iruka's back.

"Iruka-sensei!" Naruto didn't expect Iruka to go out of his way to protect him.

Iruka endured the pain and pushed Naruto away: "Naruto, I'm fine, you go quickly!" Go find Hokage-sama. ”

"Still thinking about leaving? Iruka, you're all down, how can you escape from me with this little ghost. After saying that, Mizuki ran directly towards Naruto.

Seeing this, Iruka hugged Mizuki with his last strength and gave Naruto time to delay.

Mizuki couldn't break free for a while, and said with a cold snort: "Iruka, why are you doing this? If you maintain a demon fox like this, don't forget that he is still your enemy. ”

"Naruto... He... It's not.... l What a demon fox, he is... I recognize... Excellent students. Naruto, you're leaving! ”

Iruka's words moved and heartache both for Naruto who was standing on the side, and Naruto clenched his fists and said to the Nine-Tails, "Nine Lamas, with your help, can we defeat him?" ”

"Naruto, did you misunderstand something? Who do you think I am? It's just a forbearance. Saying that, the Nine-Tails passed his chakra to Naruto.

A red chakra appeared on Naruto's body, and a moment later a tailed beast cloak appeared.

Naruto's change startled both Iruka and Mizuki, especially Mizuki.

After the Mizuki spell was sealed, he turned into a tiger man, and he had the ability to predict danger of beasts, and Naruto felt extremely dangerous after entering the state of the tailed beast coat.

Mizuki first subconsciously took two steps back, and finally simply turned around and ran, Naruto didn't hesitate when he saw this, and chased after him directly.

There was no suspense in the battle between the two this time, and Mizuki's incomplete spell mark didn't have any chance at all when facing Naruto, and the three strokes and five divisions were solved by Naruto.

After removing the tailed beast's coat, Naruto immediately went to check on Iruka's condition, and at this time, Yamanaka Yuan, who had been watching the play, also walked out of the shadows.
