Chapter 3: Chapter 3
At night, the moon is bright in the sky.
In the forest on the edge of Konoha Village, in front of a wooden house, a young man carrying a scroll was breathing heavily, but he looked very excited.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
"Hey, Naruto!"
Naruto Uzumaki looked up, gasping for breath, and saw Iruka, who was sweating profusely and holding his legs with his hands, and couldn't help but chuckle.
This left Iruka confused for a moment.
"You found out, and I haven't even learned a single ninjutsu yet!"
Uzumaki Naruto spoke as he scratched the back of his head, not realizing how important the large scroll he was carrying was.
"You're practicing ninjutsu here???"
Iruka was a little confused, Uzumaki Naruto's reaction was a little different from what he expected.
"Listen to me, listen to me! I'll show you a powerful ninjutsu later! If I succeed, you must let me graduate, Iruka-sensei!"
Uzumaki Naruto spoke excitedly, thinking about the ninjutsu he had just seen, he couldn't help but want to show off to Iruka.
But Iruka's face changed when he heard this, and he realized that something was wrong.
"Who told you this?!"
"Of course it's Mizuki-sensei! The scroll and this place were both told to me by Mizuki-sensei..."
Naruto's voice softened as he watched Iruka's expression suddenly change.
Iruka-sensei looks...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Before Iruka and Uzumaki Naruto could think more, the sound of breaking air was heard in the quiet forest, and more than ten kunai were flying towards Naruto from the darkness.
Subconsciously, Iruka moved. He pushed Naruto away and then crossed his arms to protect his head.
Tap tap tap tap!!!
"I didn't expect you to find this place."
After Naruto's scream of pain, a slightly unexpected voice sounded.
Iruka and Uzumaki Naruto looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Mizuki, with a huge shuriken on his back, looking down at them from a branch above and in front of them.
"I see. I think I know what's going on..."
Iruka watched Mizuki speak in pain, his right thigh had been shot by a kunai and was bleeding.
Shuimu's sneak attack just now was very sudden. If it weren't for his instinctive reaction, he would probably have been shot in the heart instead of the thigh.
Mizuki heard this but had no intention of talking to Iruka, he just looked at Naruto.
"Naruto, hand over the scroll."
Mizuki spoke, looking greedily at the scroll on Uzumaki Naruto's back.
He himself did not expect that the plan would go so smoothly.
The Sealed Book was obtained so easily!
"Naruto, you can never hand over the scroll even if you die!"
Iruka spoke loudly upon hearing this, pulling the kunai from his thigh while staring at Mizuki to prevent him from making another sneak attack.
"That is a dangerous object that is sealed with forbidden ninjutsu. Mizuki used you to get that scroll!"
Uzumaki Naruto's body stiffened when he heard this, Iruka's words made him a little confused.
Hearing this, Mizuki looked at Iruka below with disdain, and gave a scornful smile as he looked at him as if he wanted to eat him.
Then he spoke to Naruto: "Naruto, Iruka is afraid that you will get the scroll."
These words made Naruto stunned again, and even more confused. He just felt that his mind was in a mess.
"Mizuki, what are you talking about?!!"
Iruka looked at Mizuki and yelled angrily, then looked at Naruto and said anxiously: "Don't be fooled, Naruto!"
The sudden change made Uzumaki Naruto unable to recover at all, and he didn't have time to think about it, because Mizuki laughed first.
"Hehehe."
"I'm going to tell you the truth, Naruto."
Mizuki said, his eyes becoming playful.
Iruka's face changed again when he heard that, and he yelled at Mizuki: "Asshole! You can't talk about that!"
Mizuki ignored Iruka's rant and watched as Uzumaki Naruto raised his voice and continued, "After the incident twelve years ago, the village established a certain rule."
"A certain rule?"
Naruto spoke subconsciously, already feeling uneasy.
"It's a certain rule that Uzumaki Naruto must not know."
Mizuki looked at Uzumaki Naruto, who was still in a daze, with a playful look.
"I'm the only one who doesn't know??? What exactly are the rules???"
Naruto became even more confused and questioned Mizuki loudly.
"I've been told, Mizuki!!!"
Iruka got anxious and yelled with his eyes wide open.
If he hadn't been injured at this time, he would definitely attack Shuimu and stop him from continuing.
"It's just... a rule that you must never reveal that Naruto's true identity is actually a fox demon."
Mizuki ignored Iruka's warning. He looked at Uzumaki Naruto. After seeing Uzumaki Naruto's changing expression, he felt a sense of pleasure in his heart and continued.
"That is, the nine-tailed demon fox that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed the village."
"You've been deceived by the people in this village. Don't you find it strange that everyone hates you so much?"
As soon as these words came out, Uzumaki Naruto's body trembled.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!"
He growled angrily, his mind was in a mess, and he was deeply shocked at this moment.
"No one will agree with you! Iruka hates you too. Everyone hates you. You killed people's parents, relatives, and friends. You are a disaster, a fox demon!"
Mizuki continued speaking, his tone becoming sharp and full of oppression, forcing Uzumaki Naruto and trying to break down Naruto's psychological defenses.
The effect was also obvious. Uzumaki Naruto's psychological defenses collapsed.
"So, go to hell Naruto!!"
Seeing Naruto collapse, Mizuki grinned and threw the huge shuriken in his hand fiercely.
This was very sudden. Iruka had never expected that Mizuki would attack Uzumaki Naruto without hesitation.
"Naruto, get out of the way!!!"
Iruka roared, and he seemed to have forgotten the pain in his thigh, and he quickly pounced towards Uzumaki Naruto.
Uzumaki Naruto did not expect Mizuki to attack him. He looked at the flying shuriken, his body stiff, his mind blank, and fear made him subconsciously close his eyes to escape reality.
Puff!!!
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh echoed in the forest.
"Are you okay, Naruto."
A familiar voice came, and Uzumaki Naruto, who felt as if he was suddenly pulled away by something, opened his eyes and saw a delicate and handsome face.
He subconsciously called out a name.
"Yuehua?!"
