Damn it......!

How could I ...... How could you be scared by this kid Naruto Uzumaki!

Even if he has the existence of the Nine-Tails in his body, it still can't change the fact that he is a waste!

No matter how fierce this kid's eyes are!

It would only take me a few minutes to solve him!

was frightened by Naruto Uzumaki's eyes, which obviously made Mizuki, who claimed to be a "middle ninja powerhouse", feel a little embarrassed.

After retreating a few steps, he immediately stood still, his fierce gaze meeting Naruto's head.

"Nine-Tails Kid! Now that your big brother has been solved by me, then ...... It's your turn! ”

"You monster! I really don't know why three generations of adults raised you in the village! If I were you...... I have already consciously left Konoha to find a place to die! ”

"Oh yes...... Also, do you know why Iruka is so strict with you and doesn't let you pass the graduation test? Because...... I told you just now! You are the nine-tailed demon fox that attacked Konoha back then! You killed Iruka's parents! That's why he's targeting you like that! His apparent concern for you is all fake! ”

"And the Konoha villagers who are afraid of you and don't want to pay attention to you! They also spurned you because they knew that you were a nine-tailed demon fox! ”

"Naruto Uzumaki....... You're a monster in the first place! ”

Mizuki's vicious words stabbed into Naruto's heart one after the other like sharp blades.

To his great surprise, Naruto was not as struck down by his words as he had imagined.

He still stood there, his fists clenched, and his eyes as if they were about to erupt into flames.

"I'm not a monster! I'm Naruto Uzumaki from Konoha Village! ”

"What's there to quibble about! Naruto Uzumaki....... You are the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox! You're a monster! ”

"No .......! I don't ........"

"That's right! Naruto is not a monster! He is a villager of Konoha Village and a ninja school student who is about to become a ninja! ”

"Huh? Who?! ”

The sudden sound made both Naruto and Mizuki, who were in a stalemate, look surprised.

They all turned their heads in unison and looked in the direction from which the voice came from, only to see a Konoha Nakashinobu with braided hair and a scar on his face popping out of the bushes on the side and quickly running in front of the two.

"Iruka?! How are you! You've found it! Seemingly...... I'm still slowing down! ”

"Iruka-sensei!"

"Naruto! Luckily I caught up, and it wasn't too late......"

Iruka, who walked over to Naruto's side, glanced at Sakuki Hachiki, who had fallen into his arms.

Seeing that the wound on Hagi Shuohui's chest was still bleeding, Iruka couldn't help but frown.

"Naruto, I heard some of your conversation with Mizuki just now, and I understand everything that happened tonight! Mizuki tricked you into stealing the Book of Seals, right? ”

"Yes...... Yes, Iruka-sensei...... It's me who was so stupid and deceived by him! ”

"Don't blame you Naruto, it's Mizuki who is too cunning! But ......"

Iruka snatched Hachiki Sakuki from Naruto's arms and used the bandages he carried in his shinobi bag to stop the bleeding.

"Who is he? Looking at his outfit, he should still be a shinobi, Naruto, do you know him? How did he end up here? ”

"He's the eldest brother I just met today, Jian Misumi, and I have a very good relationship with him, and he seems to be ...... tonight It seems that he is going to do something in Konoha and it turns out that Mizuki wants to snatch my book of seals, and then he ...... In order to protect me, he was stabbed by Mizuki....... Iruka-sensei, is there something wrong with Brother Jian Micheng? Will he die? ”

"I'm not a medical ninja, so I can only bandage him briefly to stop the bleeding now, and his specific injuries still need to be inspected by the medical ninja back in the village, but don't worry, Naruto, he's not dead yet......."

Stopping the bleeding from the wound on his chest, Iruka immediately hugged him aside, who had been "unconscious" for a long time.

Then, Iruka stood up with a cold expression, took out a kunai in his hand at some point, and pointed straight at Mizuki, who was only a few steps away from him.

"Mizuki, it's time to talk about you......."

"Hehehe....... Iruka, is there anything we have to talk about so far? ”

"Mizuki, we grew up together, and after becoming ninjas, we worked together for so many years, I never thought about it....... Never thought you would be such a person! ”

"That's because I'm disguised well enough! On the other hand...... This also shows that you are stupid! ”

Mizuki smiled playfully, not at all flustered by the fact that he was outnumbered.

"And...... Iruka, you don't have to act anymore! There are just three of us here...... Oh, there's a waste that has fainted and doesn't know life or death, since there are no outsiders, why do you have to pretend to be so benevolent! ”

"You're ......! Mizuki, what do you mean! ”

"Hahaha....... What do I mean? Don't you understand what I mean? Iruka? ”

Mizuki spread his hands and smiled coldly, with all kinds of mockery in his words.

"You pretend to care about Naruto Uzumaki because you have to maintain the image of a responsible and good teacher, but in reality....... You hate him to death, don't you? He was the one who killed your parents and left you a helpless orphan! I don't believe it....... You don't have any hatred for him! ”

"Iruka-sensei......"

Mizuki's words immediately caused Naruto to fall silent.

Just now, because of the sudden injury of "Jian Misumi", the anger in his head made Naruto ignore the guilt of Iruka in his heart.

But now that the impulse in his mind had dissipated, and Iruka himself was standing in front of him, the same words, Mizuki said again at this time, but Naruto's heart fell into an incomparable struggle.

Just as he stood there and was at a loss, a large warm hand suddenly put on his shoulder.

"Yi ...... Iruka-sensei? ”

"Don't feel guilty Naruto! That's not your fault, and I've never had a grudge against you! ”

Looking at Iruka's sincere and warm eyes, Naruto nodded blankly.

In his still somewhat puzzled gaze, Iruka turned his head and said to Mizuki with a determined look: "Mizuki, don't use your dirty psychology to speculate on other people's thoughts!" ”

"Me! Umino Iruka! There has never been a trace of resentment against Naruto! ”

"He has never been a nine-tailed demon fox, he is my student, an excellent student I recognize!"

"He's a little clever, but he's hardworking! Very focused! And most importantly...... He understands the pain of the human heart! ”

He ...... It's Naruto Uzumaki from Konoha Village! ”
