Chapter 4: the Demon Called Mizuki


As Naruto is walking around Konoha he senses demonic presence. So he activates his eagle vision, by closing his eyes for a brief second, and then reopening them again.

Naruto's vision turns into shades of blue, except for one person, who was gold in color, which is his target, all though he was barely in his range of vision. So he couldn't chase after the man. Some were red in color, which most likely meant that they would attack him on sight. So the Uzumaki ignored them, and ran past. Naruto then sees someone in white, which meant someone, or something would help him in his endeavour, or mission.

He noticed that all the shinobi of the village were racing around the village. So Naruto asks the girl who was in white. This person is Ino Yamanaka, the main village gossip. If you wanted to know something, whether it was true, or just a rumor, Ino was the one to talk too. Naruto asks, "So, Ino-chan, why are the shinobi in such a rush?"

Ino answers, "That'll cost you, let's just say, um... fifty Ryo."

Naruto takes out his green frog shaped wallet that he affectionately named Gama-chan, and opened it, giving the Ryo to Ino. He says, "You know Gama-chan gets sad from the loss of so much Ryo."

Ino then pockets the Ryo, ignoring Naruto's comment. She then says, "From what I heard someone stole the Forbidden Scroll of Seals. They say he was headed towards the forest. Good luck though they said that the thing who stole it was a bipedal tiger, that had silver shoulder-length hair."

The Uzumaki only knew one person who had shoulder-length silver hair, and that person is Mizuki, his Academy Sensei. Who apparently turned traitor. Naruto quickly gives a thanks to Ino, and rushes off, pulling his beaked hood over his head.

Now, Naruto is in the forest, watching the fight between Mizuki, and Iruka. He quickly notices how Iruka is moving super slowly. A Genjutsu, obviously. Naruto then uses his phantom blade, and shoots a bolt in both Iruka and Mizuki.

Mizuki lets out a feral snarl, as he rips out the bolt from his leg. He says, "Hey Iruka. Someone has encroached in our fight."

Iruka then replies, "Genjutsu, huh? Well you were always the better between the two of us. All though it's not like you know Fuinjutsu, "

Mizuki then dashes towards Iruka attempting to bisect Iruka with his claws. He would have too, only if Naruto didn't appear blocking the claws with a sheathed Yamato. Mizuki laughs at this. He then says, "So, the Demon Brat has come to your rescue."

Iruka then shakes out his shock, and asks, "How did you find us?"

Naruto answers, "I'm a Sensor-type Iruka-sensei. Also, I paid our resident gossip fifty Ryo. But Gama-chan is still sad about it."

Iruka then makes some hand signs. Snake → Rat. He says, "You may know Genjutsu, but so do I. Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique)!"

Mizuki then sees himself in front of him. The other Mizuki then begins to shed from his tiger form. Once that was done, his other body grows old, and frail. With balding hair, and a hunched over back, the other Mizuki pitifully falls face first onto the ground. With the fall, killing the other.

Meanwhile with Iruka and Naruto, Mizuki backs off, walking away from the two. With each step, he says, "No." Iruka then passes out from Chakra Exhaustion.

Naruto simply unsheathes Yamato, and slashes at the curse mark on his forearm. This cuts Mizuki's connection to the mark. Which turns Mizuki into a shriveled up old man who died shortly after. Naruto then whispers, "Requiescat in pace."

The curse mark is reminiscent of a green skull, with an open jaw. The inside, however, consists of various ducts and slots, leading to a bottom slot at the "jaw".

However this let the Tiger demon escape. Naruto then disappears. Reappearing in front of the Tiger. The Uzumaki then skewers the Tiger through the heart, only for the Tiger to use his claws. Slashing Naruto's chest. Naruto quips, "Budy, you are so lucky I have more copies at home!"

As Naruto's cape falls to the ground, he removes Yamato from the Tiger, and once again disappears. Reappearing above the tiger, Naruto descends onto the Tiger, spinning like a sideways twister.

When Naruto lands, he cuts the tiger from the crown of it's head to the sack of his balls, killing the Tiger instantly. The Tiger's soul then gets absorbed into Yamato. After a couple of seconds Naruto sheathed his sword, and let it cover his forearm once again. Yamato then says, "Naruto for killing this Tiger Demon, you have gained a fighting style called: the Trickster Style."

Naruto internally asks, "What is it?"

Yamato answers, "It is a defensive based fighting style, which mainly uses quick dodges."

Naruto inwardly nods, as he looks at the Forbidden Scroll of Seals. He then thinks, "Since it's here, might as well learn something from it."

So Naruto opens the scroll, and sees the first jutsu. He reads, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique). Why not?" So Naruto reads, and learns the technique, including some of it's derived jutsu, and related jutsu.

This is when the ANBU arrives, taking the scroll back to the Hokage. While another takes Mizuki to get the secrets from his body. Another one takes Iruka to the hospital. An ANBU member then says, "Hokage-sama requests your presence in his office." the ANBU then leaves the area in Shunshins.

Naruto just simply walks to the Hokage's office, dragging his cage across the ground. Once there, he enters, walking all the way up to the desk. He asks, "You asked for me, Hokage-jiji?"

Hiruzen answers, "That I did, Naruto. Now I would like your perspective on tonight's events."

Naruto replies, "Well Jiji, I felt a hint of demonic energy. So I tried to use my sensory abilities, but the presence was just outside of my range. So I couldn't follow him. I then asked a gossiping Yamanaka. Who said that a bipedal tiger with shoulder-length silver hair was running towards the forest with the Forbidden Scroll of Seals. She pointed me in the right direction, and I followed."

Hiruzen then asks, "What happened next?"

Naruto answers, "I found Iruka-sensei, who was fighting Mizuki. Iruka-sensei was trapped in a Genjutsu, so I shot him, and Mizuki with my phantom blade. Using Yamato, I slashed at the curse mark on Mizuki, killing him. This unleashed a Tiger demon. We fought. I killed it, gaining a Taijutsu Style. Then an ANBU Squad showed up taking the scroll to you, Iruka to the hospital I'm sure of it, and Mizuki to T&I. I'm just guessing."

Hiruzen smiles, and then says, "You forgot somethings like... Learning jutsu from the scroll, but you'll need the jutsu. So you can use them. I also won't punish Ino Yamanaka."

Naruto gives a sigh of relief. He asks, "Remember you have team placements in a week. So don't be late. Before you can go, this will be put in your account as an A-Rank mission, and secret."

Naruto turns around, walking towards the door. Once he reaches the door, Naruto gives a lazy wave from over his shoulder, and leaves the office, still dragging his cage.
