"AHHHHH!" I screamed in anger, glaring up at the paint splattered all over the Hokage's faces. I clenched my fists angrily, stomping furiously into the ground. Laughter soon filled my ears, I quickly turned around to see Naruto running with a large bucket of paint in his hand. "Curse you Naruto!" I screamed at him, waving my fist in the air as he ran past me with a large grin on his face. "Come back here!" I heard someone call out, chasing after Naruto full force. Digging my heel into the ground, I growled as I started marching my way back to class. "That idiot used enchanted paint, that's gonna be so hard to get off!" I whined, slumping my head down at I kept on walking.
"I'm at the end of my rope Naruto!" Iruka-sensei said, crossing his arms as he looked down at Naruto. I slid into class, plopping down in my seat. Iruka-sensei was lecturing Naruto again, I hope he finally knocks some sense into him before I do! I though, clenching my fists underneath my desk. "Tomorrow you've got another chance, and you're messing up again!" Iruka looked seriously annoyed, Naruto turned his head away and simply said "Hmph!" Why I oughta!
"Fine!" Iruka-sensei shouted, turning and pointing to the rest on the class. "Because you missed it, Naruto, everyone will review the transformation jutsu!" Iruka-sensei grinned as he listened to the whole class room erupt in a synchronized groan. We all sluggishly lined up in the front of the class, I was the first in ling. "Man, this ..." I mumbled to myself, putting my hands in front of my chest.  In a cloud of smoke I reappeared identical to Iruka-sensei. "You transformed into me, good." He nodded, jotting it down on his clip board. In a small puff I turned back into my usual self. With a yawn I dragged my self back to my seat. "Next..." Iruka trailed off, watching Sakura stand in front of him. "Alright, Sakura here! Let's do this! Transform!" She smiled, turning into Iruka-sensei just like I did. "Okay...good..." Iruka-sensei mumbled, continually writing on his clip board. "Yes, yes, yes! Sasuke, did you see that?!" Sakura smiled at him, he some how seemed not to acknowledge her. "Next, Sasuke Uchiha." Iruka called out in a dull tone, not bothering to look up from his clip board as Sasuke walked out in front of him. With out saying a word, or even moving, he transformed into Iruka-sensei. "Good...." Iruka mumbled, starting to get board. Something about that guy Sasuke gave me the creeps, and it didn't help that we shared the same table. Sasuke walked back to his seat, glaring at me the entire way. "Next, Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto looked up, his hands placed on his hips. "This is a real pain..." Shikamaru sighed, leaning his head back. "We're always paying for your screw ups!" Ino whined, watching Naruto walk up to Iruka. "Like I care." He said, I shook my head disapprovingly.
"Transform!" Naruto yelled out, chakra flowing through his fingers. In a puff of smoke Naruto turned into a girl, I face palmed. "HUH?!" Iruka-sensei gasped, falling back with blood spraying from his nose. "Ha! Gotcha!" Naruto broke out in laughter. "That's my y jutsu!" He said with a big grin. "CUT THE STUPID TRICKS!" Iruka-sensei screamed, exploding with anger just like I had done that morning. "THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING!"
Everyone finished their transformation jutsu reviews, all turning into Iruka-sensei, it annoyed me that I couldn't tell if they were all trying to copy me or just couldn't come up with any one else to transform into. The day passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was time to go home. Sighing, I walked back to the Hokage, watching Naruto scrub off the paint. He was mumbling under his breath as Iruka watched him clean. "You're not going home until you've cleaned off every drop of paint!" Iruka shouted with his arms crossed, I started walking towards the foot of the mountain. "Hey (Y/N)!" I heard some one from behind call out, I turned to see Sakura running towards me with a smile on her face. "Oh, hey..." I mumbled, resting my hands in my pockets. "Do you want to come over to my place? I got this new board game and I'd love to play it with you!" She seemed happier than usual, it almost seemed off. "I would, but there's some stuff I got to take care of. Maybe tomorrow." I lied, looking at the ground I started to turn back to the mountain. "Oh, alright then..." She muttered, turning the opposite way from me.  I walked up to the stone, and placed my hand on the rock. "Well, I was just thinking, after you clean this all up, we could go out for some ramen. What do ya say?" Iruka-sensei asked Naruto, looking down at him with a wide smile. "Now that's motivation!" Naruto grinned, I slowly sank my hand into the stone, pushing slowly as I continued to watch Naruto clean. Holding my breath, I threw my self into the mountain, regaining my balance as I stood on the other side of the thin stone wall.
I lived inside the great stone faces, a simple place that no one ever though to check. I was proud of my home, it took me some time to carve it all out without any one from below noticing. I lived by myself for most of my life, my father left for a mission out side of the village right before I was born and hasn't been back since, and my mother died giving birth to me. My brother, a few years older, never forgave me for the death of our mother and left me as a child wandering the streets alone.
I dragged myself up the cold stone steps, wishing that I could have made an elevator. A small slithering caught my attention as I thudded up the steps, a small smile grew on my face. "Oh, I've missed you so much!' I sighed, feeling my beloved snake Kale slither onto my shoulders. Giggling, I petted the top of his head as he tightened his body around my neck. His little black tongue came up and hit my cheek in a slobbery kiss. I cuddled my face down into his scales, he was surprisingly soft for a snake. He was shiny, the color of midnight, and as cute as he was poisonous. "Man, I'm beat." I yawned, complaining to him as I stumbled up the stairs. I raised my hand, throwing it to the side listening as the heavy rock door swung out of my way. "I've got a test tomorrow, I'm going to bed." I slid through the door, moving it closed with a slight bang. Kale dropped down on my chest, wanting to play instead of sleep. "But, hey," I called for his attention. He sluggishly looked up at me with slightly sad eyes. "I'll bring you to school for the test tomorrow!" I grinned down at his as I saw light return into his eyes. "Oh, you are adorable!" I squealed, petting his head as I walked towards my bedroom, I was dead tired.

"We will now begin our final exam." Iruka-sensei began as we all got seated, Kale was wrapped tightly around my neck fast asleep, he must of been so excited to come here last night he could go to bed. Most people thought he was a necklace he was so still. "When your name is called proceed to the testing room. The final test will be on the clone jutsu." Iruka-sensei read to us all off a piece of crumpled paper, I sighed in relief. I got this one in the bag!
A few names got called before me, but the wait wasn't the thing making me on edge, it was that Sasuke kid, every few seconds his eyes would shift over to me and then back at his hands. It really made me annoyed. "(Y/N) (L/N)." Iruka-sensei called out my name, I hopped up from my seat eagerly. I jumped down the stairs and followed him into the testing room. Maybe that Sasuke guy wanted to be my friend, but is too shy to say anything. He is very quiet in class, I wondered walking down the hall with Iruka-sensei. He opened up a white door in the left of the hall. I followed close behind, watching him close the door as we entered. There was a small table on the far side of the room, Iruka sat down at it, an equal length from Mizuki-sensei. I walked into the middle of the room, facing Iruka and Mizuki-sensei. "You may begin." Iruka-sensei nodded, watching as I put my hands in front of my chest. "Clone jutsu!" I shouted, watching as two identical copies of me jumped out of smoke clouds on both sides. "Nicely done (Y/N), I wouldn't of expected anything else from you." Iruka-sensei smiled, I couldn't help but smile back watching as my clones evaporated.

“You pass.” Mizuki-sensei said with a smile, excitement bubbled up inside of me. I edged closer to the table, watching silently as Iruka-sensei grabbed onto one of the headbands in front of him, he placed it in my hand. The soft blue fabric balanced in my hand. “Thank you for everything Iruka-sensei!” I couldn’t help but smile, he smiled back. Eagerly I walked towards the door, pushing it open quietly. I turned down the hallway, the opposite direction of the classroom. “Psst, Kale, wake up.” I whispered, nudging the snake awake. Sleepily he moved off my neck and onto my shoulders. Triumphantly I tied the Leaf band around my neck, grinning the entire time. Kale slithered back around my neck, laying back down inside of the headband. It was adorable. I walked out the front doors, met by a crowd of my peers and parents, everyone passed...everyone but Naruto. He sat alone on a swing far off across the field, slowly moving. “(Y/N)!” Sakura called out, smiling as she saw the headband I proudly wore on my neck. “I have to do something, maybe tomorrow.” I mumbled to her, moving quickly out of the crowed. Naruto pulled down his goggles, looking like he was about to cry. “Hey punk,” I grinned resting my arm on his head, he jumped slightly. ”H-Hey!” He said startled, flicking his goggles back on his forehead. “Come on, it isn’t that bad.” I bent down, matching his height. “Easy for you to say, you didn’t fail.” Naruto’s head sunk down, “You can always try again, and, hey, I’ll help you learn the clone jutsu!” I smiled, feeling Kale start to turn, I instantly looked behind me. “Mizuki-sensei?” I asked, standing back up. He smiled sweetly, “Can I talk to you guys?” He asked, his voice as smooth as silk. Me and Naruto looked at each other briefly, before turning back and nodding. We all disappeared almost instantly.

I sat comfortably on the ledge, next to Naruto, Mizuki close to him. I dangled my feet off, kicking them as I looked up at the sunset. It was beautiful. “Iruka-sensei’s tough, but he’s not against you.” Mizuki began, I relaxed, leaning back I balanced on my hands. “Then why? Why did I only fail?” Naruto asked, looking down at the empty street below him. “He wants you to be strong with all his heart, but that will never happen if he goes easy on you.” Mizuki-sensei said softly, his gaze shifting towards me and Naruto. I looked over to Naruto, starting to feel the same pain that was drawn onto his features. “He’s like the two of you, no parents, no family.” Mizuki’s eyes looked into mine. “Huh?” I whispered, clenching my fists lightly. I could feel my heart ache with every word Mizuki-sensei said. “But this time, I really wanted to graduate.” Naruto sighed, looking up at Mizuki. I scooted closer to Naruto, looking down. “Heh, then I guess I have to tell you guys.” Mizuki-sensei said with a grin, rubbing the back of his neck. Both of us turned to him, our eyes begging to tell us what. “It’s a secret, but I’m going to let the two of you in on it.” I hopped that whatever the secret was, it would help Naruto pass.

Mizuki banged viciously on the door. “Iruka-sensei, wake up!” He shouted, slightly out of breath. He had ran there as fast as he could. Iruka rushed to the door, swinging it open with a worried look. “What?! What is it Mizuki?” He asked, his heart racing. “It’s Naruto and (Y/N)! They stole the sacred scroll!” Mizuki shouted, fear turning in his stomach. “You mean the scroll of sealing?! No!!” Iruka-sensei’s shouts echoes into the night.

"Let's see..." I leaned over Naruto's shoulder, reading the scroll along with him. "The first one is multishadow clone jutsu..." He read out loud, his voice trailing off with the wind. "Not this again!" He cried, "Ha!" I grinned, "Guess you really have to learn it!" I smiled as he face palmed. "Hey. don't sweat it, I'll help the best I can." I said, ruffling his hair, "But, if I ever catch you vandalizing the Hokage again, I'll beat ya senseless!" I shouted at him, holding up my fist menacingly.
"Lord Hokage, this is not just some prank! This is a serious crime!" "That scroll contains secrets that were sealed by the first Hokage, secrets known only to our village!" "If it falls into the wrong hands, it could destroy our entire way of life." Ninja shouted worriedly to Lord Hokage, fear in their eyes. Mizuki and Iruka-sensei ran into the crowd, just as worried as everyone else. "Alright. Bring them here at once." Lord Hokage commanded, "Sir!" The entire crowd shouted at once, all leaving in a puff of smoke.
Now that I've told everyone what Naruto and that brat (Y/N) did I can eliminate them both. Everyone'll be glad they're gone, and of course I keep the scroll all for myself! Mizuki-sensei thought out his evil plans, running quickly to the place where he left Naruto and (Y/N), smiling at his well thought plan to take the scroll.
"I knew--" I gasped for air mid sentence, falling back on the grass with Naruto. "I knew you could do it!" I ginned over to him, he smiled back, just as tired as I was. "It's alllll over!" We turned our heads to meet Iruka-sensei. He was standing over us with a dark grin, visibly shaking with anger as he laughed manically. I smiled, rubbing the back of my neck as Naruto started to giggle. "Ha, you caught us!" Naruto said with a big smile. Iruka-sensei furrowed his brow, looking at us confused, his lips mouthed a silent huh? "Caught us already, not bad!" Naruto looked up at him as I yawned. "You're quick sensei, I only had time to learn one technique, and even (Y/N) helped!" We both smiled at each other, feeling proud of our accomplishments. Iruka-sensei stood up straight, looming over us deep in thought. They've been out here practicing, I can tell how hard they've been working! Iruka-sensei put his hand up to his chin. "Iruka-sensei! Naruto learned the move from the scroll! You can pass him now!" I clapped my hands together, excited that all of our work had paid off. "That's how it works, right?" Naruto asked with a grin, his blue eyes blazing.

“Huh? Where’d you two get an idea like that?” Iruka-sensei asked, his face mirroring our confusion. “But Mizuki-sensei…”I whispered to myself, standing up to face Iruka. “Mizuki-sensei told us! Believe it!” Naruto said jumping up with a raised fist. “He told us where to find the scroll, and this place…” Naruto turned around, showing the scroll he had slung over his back. Huh? Mizuki? Iruka though, listening a slight swishing in the wind. He looked behind with wide eyes. “Look out!” He shouted, kicking us out of the way with his right leg before we had time to acknowledge what he was screaming about. I scampered up on the grass, standing up on two shaking legs. Naruto was flat on the grass stunned. Kunai Knives flew down from above, hitting Iruka-sensei in the leg and pinning him to the shed Mizuki told us to meet him at. “No!” I screamed, starting to dash towards Iruka but a voice stopped me. “I see you’ve found our little hide away.” Mizuki called out from the trees, I could feel my heart stop. “So that’s the way it is, huh? I should’ve known!” Iruka-sensei gasped out out, his body starting to react to the sudden hit. “Naruto! Give me the scroll now!” MIzuki shouted down at him, Naruto seemed frozen, I glared up at Mizuki with eyes full of anger. “Wait a minute. What’s going on here?” Naruto asked, his gaze switching from Iruka, to me, Mizuki, and back. “Don’t let Mizuki get the scroll!” Iruka-sensei said, gasping out in pain as he pulled the knife out of his leg. “It contains forbidden jutsu that could put this village in grave danger.” Iruka said through deep short breaths. “Mizuki used you two to get the scroll for him, for his own power!” Both me and Naruto tensed up, readying ourselves to protect Iruka-sensei and the scroll. “Iruka’s just trying to scare you because he doesn't want you two to have the scroll.” Mizuki looked down at us, one hand resting on his hip, the other leaning on the tree. His once soft voice turned harsh and cold, it scared me. Naruto and me looked at each other as if we could share the same thoughts, and the same confusion. “Huh?” I said in a shaky voice, fear growing over my features. “Stop lying Mizuki! Don’t let him trick you!”  Iruka shouted to us, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. “Oh, I’ll tell you who’s really been lying,” Mizuki said laughing, we turned our attention back on him. “No Mizuki!” Iruka-sensei shouted at him, straining his neck. “They’ve been lying to you your entire life!” Mizuki shouted at ua, pointing down with a menacing finger. “Since the decree twelve years ago, and the ban that took place the day after.” “What decree?” Naruto asked, looking up at Mizuki with wide eyes. “Yeah, and what ban?!” I shouted up at him. “Everyone knows about the decree except you Naruto. Ha, and you (Y/N), did you really believe your father has been on a mission your entire life?” Mizuki was grinning ear to ear, my head shot up. “What?” I asked, my voice starting to loose its strength. I started shaking with fear and anger, clenching my fists. “Iruka’s trying to hide it from you, even now! He’d do anything to shut me up.” Mizuki was grabbing onto the tree tightly, I could hear it creak under his hand. “What is this decree?” Naruto pressed, stepping a small step closer, I kept my eyes pinned on Mizuki. “And what do you mean by calling out my father like that? He was a hero!” I screamed, tears starting to form in my eyes. “DON’T TELL THEM! IT’S FORBIDDEN!” Iruka’s voice reached a new octave, making me jump slightly at his sudden screech. “Your father was the worst ninja to ever grace the village, he fled from the village after killing his entire clan during the nine-tails attack, and the decree.” Mizuki’s words cut into my chest like knives, hot tears fell down my cheeks. I fell onto my knees. “The decree is that no one can tell you, Naruto, that the nine-tailed fox is inside of you!” I held my hands to my ears, trying to ignore Mizuki’s words. “STOP IT!!” I heard Iruka scream, his pained voice drawing me back to earth.

“They’ve all been sneaking around, hiding things from you your whole life! Didn’t you think it was strange how they treated you? Like dirt, like they hated you for just being alive!” Mizuki’s words were like venom, they stung, leaving us for dead. Kale tightened around my neck, fast asleep. “No, no, no ,no!” Naruto shouted, as he readied himself to attack, chakra surrounded the area around him. I quickly stood up, brushing away my tears as I raised my face. “That’s why you will never be accepted in our village. Even your beloved sensei hated your guts!” Mizuki had a sickening grin on his face as he watched Iruka breathing heavily in pain, his hands hovered over his wounded leg. The words Lord Hokage had told him came rushing back, it was many years ago when Naruto and (Y/N) first became his students, but to him it felt like yesterday. Iruka, they never had a mother or father to care for them, they're shut out of everything and they don't know why. Most people wouldn't even look at them. How would you feel if everywhere you went people turned their backs on you? That's why Naruto's constantly getting in trouble, and why (Y/N) is always trying to be the best in class, so people will notice them. They may not show it, but they're always thinking about the family they don't have. They're hurting on the inside.
"Die!" Mizuki shouted, throwing the shuriken he had on his back at us. "Ah!" Naruto gasped, grabbing me by the hand as he tried to run away. "GET DOWN!" Iruka-sensei shouted, and before I knew it I felt a warm on holding onto me tightly. I slowly opened my eyes, half of my face was buried in Iruka-sensei's chest, the shuriken Mizuki threw was sticking out of his back. I couldn't stop the tears the were running down my face, I shook like a fallen leaf, not wanting to let go of Iruka. "W-Why?" I cried out, my eyes burning. "Because we're the same." He breathed out, small drops of his blood splattered on my clothes. 
"When I lost my parents no one seemed to care, they didn't have time for me, they just forgot I was there, my grades dropped, I became the class clown. I just wanted them to see me, and to know my name. My school work wasn't good enough to get their attention, so I did crazy things, and I had to pay for it. It was hard." Tears fell from Iruka-sensei's eyes, I couldn't handle it. Everything was coming undone. "I know that's how you feel, you feel lonely and it hurts inside, and I could have been there for you more. I let you down. I'm sorry. No one should have to suffer that much, no one should be alone like that." "Don't make me laugh!" Mizuki's voice made me tense up instantly, the burning in my eyes didn't stop, it got worse. I clenched my fists at the pain. "Iruka always hated you. He was orphaned because the nine-tailed fox killed his parents, and that beast is not inside you----" "SHUT UP!" I screamed, standing on my feet lightning fast, but before I knew it, I was tugged the other way. "Wait!" Iruka gasped for breath, more blood dripping on the grass. "Wait!" Iruka held his hand up as we ran, Naruto didn't let go of my arm.
"You know, once they make up their minds, nothing can change it. They're going to use the scroll to take revenge on the village." Mizuki's smile came back onto his face as he jumped off the tree he had been perched on the entire time. "You saw (Y/N)'s eyes didn't you? Just like their father's, those are the eyes of evil." Mizuki stood behind Iruka, watching as he pulled the shuriken out of his back with a painful grunt. "No..." Iruka breathed as he got up off the ground, his legs shaking slightly. "They....they aren't like that!" Iruka's voice came back strong as he threw the shuriken back at Mizuki. He dodged it easily. "Heh, your a joke." Mizuki turned his head away from him, Iruka fell back to the ground. "As soon as I eliminate those brats and get the scroll, I'll be back for you." Mizuki ran off in the same direction as Naruto, listening to his heavy stomps on tree branches as he ran.
"Naruto! Everything Mizuki said was a lie! Give me the scroll, hurry!" Iruka-sensei shouted as he followed Naruto as quickly as he could. "He's coming after you to take it away!" Naruto stopped on a branch, watching as Iruka skidded to a halt. Suddenly Naruto ran towards Iruka, kicking him with all his strength in the gut. Iruka tumbled to the ground in a loud thud. Naruto quietly jumped off, gasping for air. "It can't be...." Iruka was struggling to get up, watching Naruto rest his back on a tree out of the corner of his eye. I shook silently. "How did you know, Naruto, how did you know?" Mizuki's voice was starting to become more clearer as he transformed back into his normal self. "That it was me not Iruka?" Naruto and I hid behind a tree, holding onto each other tightly as we shook violently. Iruka-sensei laugh as he transformed back into himself, resting on the tree for support. "Because I'm Iruka"
"You're a fool. Why are you protecting those freaks?" Iruka and Mizuki stared at each other angrily, I covered Naruto's mouth with my left hand as he covered mine with his right, we were focusing on the confrontation between them. "He's the one who wiped out your family!" "I don't care what you say." Iruka turned his head away from Mizuki, reminding me of how Naruto was acting in class yesterday. "You're not getting your hands on that scroll." Iruka said bluntly, I tried my best to calm down whenever I heard Iruka's voice, but when Mizuki spoke, all I could do was quiver. I trusted him, I thought he was a good guy, trying to help Naruto out, but I was wrong. Dead wrong.
"As if you could stop me. Don't you get it? They are both just like me." "How's that?" "They want the scroll for their own power and their own vengeance. That's how beasts are. They'll pour all their rage into the scroll and destroy everything!" "You're right...." Iruka-sensei's words stuck to me. Y-You're right? I thought, standing dead still, Naruto couldn't hold back his tears anymore. I felt wetness on my shoulder, as I looked over Naruto was crying like a baby. So it is true, Iruka-sensei never believed in me. He thinks I'm some beast! Some kind of freak! Thought swirled around Naruto's head, I couldn't take it. I gave Naruto a giant hug around the wait, sinking my face into his sweat drenched orange jumpsuit. "Stop crying....." I whispered as quietly as I could, hugging him tighter as every second went by.
"That is how beasts are, but that's not how (Y/N) and Naruto are. They're nothing like that. They're special, they work hard, and they put their whole heart into it. Sure they mess up some times, and everyone jumps at them, but their suffering only makes them stronger. That's what separates them from being monsters. They are nothing like what you said, they are ninja of the Village Hidden in the Leaves!" Naruto hugged me tighter, I looked up at his face, he was smiling down at me. "You really believe that drivel?" Mizuki was looking down at Iruka in disgust, I felt anger bubble up inside of me. Mizuki grabbed onto his last shuriken, "Iruka, I really was going to save you for later, but I've changed my mind! You're finished!" As if it was my cue, I ran out from behind the tree and hit Mizuki in his arm as hard as I could, I heard it crack under my fist. "AH!" He gasped in pain, dropping his shuriken on the grass. "N-Not bad for a-a little punk!" Mizuki hissed, grabbing onto his arm tightly, his blood dripped into the grass. "If you ever lay a hand on my sensei, I'll kill you!" I shouted back furiously at Mizuki, a strange feeling running through my fingers. "S-Such big words, I can completely destroy you with a single move!" His bluff sounded pathetic with a wounded arm. "I'd love to see you try, but it's not my move right now." I grinned, watching Naruto run out from behind the tree, skidding to a halt in front of me. Naruto raised his hands in front of his chest, "Shadow clone jutsu!" He shouted as loud as he could. It seemed like millions of Naruto's copies filled the forest, Iruka-sensei was in shock.
Those aren't just illusions, they're solid clones! He's mastered an extremely advanced jutsu! Iruka-sensei thought to himself,  a small smile coming to his lips. "Huh?! W-What is this?!" Mizuki shouted, looking around like a frightened child. Naruto's voice boomed around him from all sides, he fell to the ground, baking up like a coward. "If you're not coming, then we're going to come after you!" Naruto grinned, watching Mizuki whimper. Naruto's clones went charging in on him, in a fit of panic and fear Mizuki screamed. Punches and kicks were thrown at him from all around.
"Are you alright Iruka-sensei?" I asked, kneeling down on the ground next to him. "Yeah, I'm good." He said with a smile, trying his best to stand up. Soon Naruto's clones evaporated, leaving Naruto looking down at Mizuki passed out on the floor with a broken nose. "Sorry, I kinda got carried away." Naruto smiled, rubbing the back of his neck. "You okay Iruka-sensei?" Naruto asked, looking deeply concerned as Iruka stood up. "Oh, uh, yeah I'm fine." He smiled back, leaning his back on the tree behind him. "Hey, Naruto, would you come here for a minute?" Iruka-sensei asked, I looked up at him curiously.
'You're telling me no one could find them?" "Not a clue." "This is bad news, we need to smoke them out or something!" Worried shouts sounded up as all the searchers joined back together, Lord Hokage came stepping out into the court yard where they all were. "There's no longer and need to worry." He said with a small smile, stopping their chatter. "The scrolls safe, they'll be back soon."
"Sensei, how much longer?" Naruto whined, I couldn't help but giggle. "Hey, what you laughing at? You two better not be doing anything funny to my face!" Naruto complained, me and Iruka smiled at each other. "Okay, you can open up your eyes now." Iruka nodded as he finished tying on Naruto's head band. The sun broke through the clouds, small slithers of sunlight poked through the forest trees, illuminating the area around us. "Congratulations." I couldn't help but smile as Iruka-sensei held those old goggles in his hand. "You graduate." Iruka ruffled Naruto's spiky hair, he still had a shocked face. "And to celebrate, I'm taking you two out for ramen tonight!" Naruto lunged at Iruka in a giant hug, making him fall back into the tree. "H-Hey! That hurts!" We all started laughing, the smile wouldn't go away from my face. But I knew that this was just the beginning of a very long adventure together.
