Chapter 1-Discovery

"The first jutsu is the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu...arg, not this again. It's my worst jutsu, I will deal with that later if I have time. Next is the Shining Finger, this technique was created by Domon Kasshu and the clan leader allowed the Yondaime to learn it. Requires an incantation which allows chakra to be transferred into one's hand and generate enough heat to make it glow. If the technique makes contact with anything, that area will be destroyed. Okay, I am definitely learning that move!"

In an unknown area of the forest, a twelve-year-old blond individual sat with a huge scroll unfurled before him, his name is Naruto Uzumaki. In his village, Konoha, he was also known as Jinchuuriki, demon, monster and pariah.

Unknown to him was that the Kyuubi no Kitsune believed to be defeated by the Yondaime Hokage by the younger generation was actually in reality, sealed inside of his persona. "Now let's see...here is the incantation...this hand of mine glows with an awesome power..."

Naruto's hand began to glow a bit with a shining white-green light. "Cool, I'm actually doing this easily...take that, Uchiha-teme!"

Just then the glowing faded away and Naruto grew frustrated. "Damn! I am guessing that I must finish the incantation in order to keep the glow up. Oh, well, I guess I will work on the Kage Bunshin now since Mizuki-sensei is taking such a long time to come here."

Naruto looks at the description and said, "So to perform the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, you must make a cross seal using the index and middle finger...alright, here we go! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" 3 clones popped out and Naruto cheered, "Yatta, I did it!" The clones cheered and jumped along with the original and Naruto said in shock, "What? You guys aren't supposed to jump around like that. You are only clones!"

One of them said, "Yes, we are, but you forgot the description...the Kage Bunshin are actual copies of you instead of illusions."

Another said, "Maybe that is why that you suck at seeing illusions."

Naruto said, "Hey, it's not my fault that I can barely sense genjutsu."

The third one said, "Never mind that...anyway only the original or powerful blows can dispel this type of clone, making all of the information transfer to you."

Naruto said, catching on, "So basically anything that you do like training and when you dispel, I gain the fatigue and benefits of it. This will help me a lot, I will become Hokage in no time. Hmmm, what is this?"

He looked at the scroll after the Shining Finger, "Hmm, taijutsu katas from the School of the Undefeated of the East...used by Domon Kasshu also. So the guy who made the Shining Finger used this taijutsu style...the Tenkyoken style. Works for me!"

For a few hours, he followed the katas written within the Forbidden Scroll and got him to integrate the whole sequence into his muscle memory. When he finished, he was breathing heavily until...

"Naruto! I finally found you!"

Naruto looked up to see that his sensei Iruka Umino has found him. "Hehehe...I see that you actually caught me, sensei. I managed to learn a few techniques."

Iruka said sternly, "Why do you look all beat up and what are you doing here?"

"I was training...Mizuki-sensei told me about this place and about the make-up test for stealing the scroll and learning a technique from it."

"What? Mizuki?" Iruka thought. Suddenly there was a whistling in the air and Iruka pushed Naruto away from the kunai projected toward the two of them. Naruto looked up to see that some of the kunai had embedded themselves into Iruka's body, but most of them missed.

"Nice job finding the moron!" Naruto looked up to see Mizuki crouched on a nearby branch. Iruka replied, "I see...so that is what's going on...Mizuki."

Naruto thought, "Why did Mizuki-sensei throw those kunai at Iruka-sensei for?"

The white-haired chunin declared, "Naruto, give me the scroll!"

Iruka shouted, "Naruto, whatever happens, do not let Mizuki get the scroll. Mizuki used you, so he could get his hands on it and the Forbidden Scroll holds dangerous kinjutsu recorded inside of it."

Naruto glared at Mizuki and the chunin chuckled, "Naruto, there is no point of you having the scroll...I guess I will have to tell the truth."

Iruka blinked for a moment and cried out, "N...No! Don't!" Mizuki ignored him and continued, "You know about the Kyuubi 12 years ago being defeated, right? A decree was made on that same day, but that rule was never mentioned to you for one reason."

Naruto said, "What is that reason? Tell me!"

Mizuki began to laugh cruelly, "The rule was to never tell you that you are the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the one solely responsible for the death of Iruka's parents and everyone's loved ones including my family. You were sealed up by the Hokage that you most admire and lied by everyone in the village. Wasn't it a bit odd how everyone hates you...even your beloved Iruka-sensei hates your guts!"

While Mizuki grabbed one of the Fuma Shuriken on his back and began to twirl in around his wrist, Naruto was in shock about the reason why he was hated. "No one will ever love you! That scroll was used to seal your true power up, so die, Kyuubi!"

Naruto bowed his head, his bangs covering his eyes slightly as the shuriken slowly closed in on him. His fingers slowly gripped into fists as he thought, "So everyone thinks that I am some sort of fox demon, eh? Maybe it is better to die this way." Suddenly he was pushed to the ground and he looked up to see Iruka over him with the shuriken in the middle of his back.

"Why?" Naruto asked.

"Because we are the same...when my parents died, nobody bothered to stop or seem to care about me. So I acted just like you, it was so painful...I know how you feel, Naruto and I wish I could have been there earlier to help you through it."

Naruto looked at Iruka and then at Mizuki. The Jinchuuriki rushed away into the foliage of the forest as he could hear Iruka cry out his name.

Meanwhile, Mizuki laughed as he jumped down, "Naruto isn't the type of person to have a change of heart, also I think he is planning to use the scroll for revenge. You saw the look in his eyes, those are the eyes of a real demon."

Iruka forcibly yanked out the shuriken from his back and declared in a hostile voice, "Naruto...isn't like that!" He threw the shuriken at Mizuki, who seemed to dodge it with ease. The silver-tongued chunin said, "Bah! I will take care of you later, first I have to find Naruto and take that scroll from his dead body!"

Iruka thought, "I won't let you!"

Back to Naruto, he was running away in the trees until he heard someone behind him. "Naruto!"

The boy turned to see that it was Iruka, but he kept running. Iruka said, "Hurry, give me the scroll! Mizuki is after you!" Naruto glared at him and stopped at a branch to change his trajectory to Iruka, sending a punch to the torso.

Iruka skidded on the ground below while Naruto jumped down and took off the scroll from his back to hold it in his lap. "Why? Naruto? How...How did you know that I was not Iruka?" Iruka disappeared in a puff of smoke to reveal that it was Mizuki.

Naruto began to laugh as he too disappeared in a puff of smoke to reveal Iruka, "Because...I am Iruka."

Mizuki smirked, "I see...that you have transformed into the so called protector of your parents' murderer."

"I will not let you have the scroll, Mizuki."

"You idiot! Me and Naruto are the same...if you can use the skills in that scroll, you can do whatever you want! There is no way that demon would not try to use the scroll unlike what you think."

Iruka agreed, "Yes, the demon fox would try something like that, but that is not Naruto. If he were the demon fox, he would have killed the whole village at the age of three or four. The village should be thanking him for keeping the fox at bay. He is Naruto Uzumaki, a member of the Village Hidden in the Leaves."

Silently, Naruto heard Iruka's declaration and cried tears of happiness for his words. "Thank you, Iruka-sensei...thank you." Suddenly he heard Mizuki's voice say, "I was going to let you live for a while, but now I have changed my mind...now hurry up and die!"

Naruto's eyes snapped open with determination, "Time to return the favor!" He ran out into the open and sent a crushing knee strike to Mizuki's face, sending the rouge chunin sprawling to the ground.

"N-Naruto?" Iruka said.

Naruto turned to him and smiled, "Thanks, Iruka-sensei. I will remember your kind words until the end of my days…now stay there while I take out the trash…."

"You….you bastard…."

"The Fist of the Undefeated of the East: Keiretsu!" Naruto unleashed a barrage of punches and then shouted, "Tempa Kyoran!"

Mizuki flew back into a tree hard, coughing up a bit of blood. "You brat….I will kill you, Kyuubi!"

"This hand of mine glows with an awesome power….its burning grip tells me to defeat you…..and now here I go! Shining Finger!" Naruto shouted as he sent his hand to Mizuki's arm, destroying it completely.

"ARGHH!" Mizuki screamed, clutching his arm. "My arm….my arm, oh, my arm." Next, Naruto shut him up by knocking him out. "What was that, Naruto?"

"I learned a few things from the scroll including the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu….." Naruto answered, "Now let's get you to the hospital….Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" A clone appeared and Iruka was shocked. "Wait, Naruto….come here for a second and close your eyes."

Naruto did so and then he felt something on his forehead. "Okay, you can open them…" Iruka said. The Jinchuuriki opened his eyes slowly and saw that his true sensei was holding his pair of goggles and wearing a smile on his face.

"Congratulations….you graduate….and to celebrate, we are going out for ramen as soon as I get healed up."

Naruto said with tears in his eyes, "Thanks….Iruka-sensei."
