Three years later, Naruto was in the top five of the class (currently four although he held back a lot) and proud of it.

When graduation day came around, Naruto passed with flying colours.

He later spotted mizuki trying to nick the scroll of sealing, and subdued him and took him to the T and I department.

After, he looked at his headband on his bead, and smiled proudly because he felt incredibly proud of himself.

He fell off to a deep sleep, and whilst he slept, for some reason all he could see was blood death burning hinata sakura Sasuke a man named kakashi who he didn't know yet, iruka and so many unnamed others.

He did not have a peaceful night, he was haunted by the screams of the unknown.
