This is a Prototype Fanfic

Just think of it as a OP MC story however he won't be Saitama OP at the start. It's a build up.

Also it's not gonna be non-stop action it will be sort of slice-of-life stuff and comedy. So kinda like OPM.

Enjoy

Ch1: Awaken the Beast! Naruto Uzumaki!

It was 12 years ago. A giant Fox had descended upon The Village Hidden in the Leaves.

Just one swing of its tail was enough to create wind that was stronger than a gale. Its roar shook many trees for miles and sent shivers down the spines of all those who heard it. Its hands could pick up houses and fling them for miles without so much as breaking a sweat.

The inhabitants of the village called Konoha did everything in their power to try and defeat the giant beast, but most of their efforts were in vain, for the beast was to powerful. The only saving grace of Konoha was the timely arrival of the Fourth Hokage.

With his coat flapping in the wind and riding upon a giant toad, the Fourth saved the Village that he adored by transporting himself, the giant beast and the toad out of the village.

He had transported them miles outside of the village where a stone table was located. Upon the table was a babe curled up on a blanket sleeping blissfully, even when the Fourth and his two passengers appeared in the clearing the baby didn't stir.

Before anything could happen, golden chains shot out from the ground under the giant fox and wrapped around it, after the giant toad vanished of course. The golden chains pulled the beast to the ground. The fox gritted its sharp teeth and pushed itself up to a standing position.

In front of the giant beast were a woman and the Fourth defiant looks on their faces as they faced down the fox.

From Konoha the only thing that the people saw was a bright light and fox vanishing.

In the clearing the blond babe was lying on the stone table crying his lungs out. Lying by the table was the bodies of the Fourth and the woman. They both had small smiles on their faces as their hands were outstretched towards the table where the crying baby was laying.

Not far off there was a sound of something impacting the earth. It was loud but not deafening.

After it landed there was silence in the woods surrounding the baby, who was still crying. However there was something that was slowly making its way towards the crying child.

A bush rustled and then a black glob slowly crawled over to the table. The glob stopped by the first dead body (the woman) and seemed to be studying the corpse.

When it finished its study the glob moved onto the next body and studied this one as well. After a few minutes the glob moved away from the dead body. It seemed like the glob was unsatisfied by the dead bodies.

The black substance started climbing up the table leg until it got to the top where the crying child was. The glob began studying the babe in the same manner as it did for the two dead bodies.

Unlike before the glob didn't move away from the crying child. It did, however, reach out and place a part of itself unto the child. The blond baby stopped it's crying to stare at the glob slowly make its way up his body. The glob stopped and inch away from the baby's face.

Then before the child could make a peep the glob covered his face.

(12 Years Later)

'God Fucking Damnit' a blond boy frowned as he stood before his teacher. He looked like someone had just told him that he only had a few days to live 'Why the hell did Iruka-sensei have to catch me? I didn't want to do this stupid ass pre-exam' he watched as his fellow classmates stepped forward one by one to participate in the test that Iruka was issuing them.

The blond boy wore an orange jumpsuit with blue on the shoulders and a white thick collar. The boy had three whisker marks on either cheek which made him stand out in a crowd. His blue eyes had a look of annoyance in them.

This blond boy was named Naruto Uzumaki, Konoha's resident prankster. The blond boy was known far and wide across Konoha for more than just his pranks. And speaking of pranks the boy had just got away with his greatest prank yet. He had successfully painted the Hokage Monument and defaced (pun intended) the stone faces of the previous Kages of the village.

The boy had painted the faces in broad daylight and no one even knew that he was busy until he deemed his work finished and shouted to the whole village that he was going to be the Hokage and that he was going to be better than previous Kages.

What followed was a huge man hunt for the blond boy, who was able to out run all of his pursuers without breaking a sweat.

Ever since Naruto could remember he had always had higher than average stamina. At the risk of sounding a bit egotistical the boy would actually say that he probably had the best stamina of anyone in the village (Since he could outrun experienced Jounin).

Then again Naruto always felt that he was different compared the people around him. He didn't have any evidence to prove this, it was just a feeling. Well there was that and the fact that many of the populace of Konoha would look at him like he wasn't supposed to be there. It wasn't the best kind of feeling that a young child would want to be subjected too, especially when they had no one to turn to for support and guidance.

Yes, the blond couldn't turn to someone to help him when he grew up. Why? It's because this kid has been an orphan ever since he was born and no one ever wanted to adopt him.

It got to the point that the blond boy had to learn everything on his own and had to live all on his own in a one man apartment. Sure he could go the Hokage every now and again for advice on certain things but the man was the Kage of a village. As such he was unable to always help the blond boy.

So one could imagine the type of effects these factors had on the 12 year old.

"Next is Ino Yamanaka" the pale blond girl that stood next to Naruto stepped forward. She wore a purple top that stopped before her mid-section and a skirt that had slits on either side. She had bandages wrapped around her mid-section and around her thighs. On her arms were white arm warmers

Ino lifted her hands and put her hands and made three hands signs. They were Ram, Snake and ended off with Tiger.

There was puff of smoke and when the smoke vanished there stood two perfect copies of Ino standing next to her also holding the hand sign for Tiger.

"Nice Work Ino" Iruka nodded his head at the blond girl (girls?). The clones vanished in another puff of smoke. The girl nodded her head and stepped back into line next to Naruto, who was so deep in thought that he didn't even hear Iruka calling his name.

Ino looked over to the blond boy with annoyed eyes and decided that she was gonna give him a reminder to pay attention.

Naruto was thinking about how he could get out of the situation he was in at the moment. Feigning sickness had only gotten him so far that one time, since Naruto hadn't been sick his whole life he didn't know how to act like he did. So Iruka quickly shut down that excuse.

Maybe he should run away? Nah Iruka would-

Naruto was broke from his musings by a shove on his back. He stumbled forward and landed on his face. The other students of the class started laughing at the boy, who stayed face down on the ground well grumbling.

Ino had to put her hand in front of her mouth to keep from laughing out loud. She didn't mean to make the blond fall over like that. Seems he was deeper in thought than she thought.

Iruka had an annoyed look on his face as a tick mark appeared on his forehead.

"Naruto!" he shouted at the blond boy, who still didn't get up "Stop messing around and take this seriously!" the blond boy grumbled lowly before he pushed himself up. The students still hadn't finished laughing at the blond boy and it wasn't just pissing off Naruto it was also pissing off their teacher.

"AND YOU BRATS SHUT-UP!" his head turned comically big as he shouted at the others students, who all instantly went silent with sweat beading down the backs of their heads.

Iruka huffed in annoyance before turning his eyes onto Naruto, who still had an annoyed look on his face with his hands stuffed into his pockets.

"Alright Naruto, get to it" the blond boy just sneered at the teacher. The angry look that appeared in Iruka's eyes told Naruto that he should begin or he will suffer the consequences.

Naruto took his hands out of his pockets and did the same hand signs as Ino. The class watched him waiting for the familiar puff of smoke that the Clone Jutsu took place, but after a while nothing happened.

A tick mark appeared on Iruka's forehead as he stared into the blank eyes of Naruto, he looked like he was dead to the world.

"Naruto! I told you to stop horsing around!" Iruka shouted at the boy. The students behind the boy snickered at him "now do it again and try this time!"

Naruto looked down at his hands and then up at Iruka. He did this 2 more times before he spun on his heel and walked towards the door of the classroom. Everybody stared at the boy in shock. Iruka was the most shocked and he made that known by shouting at Naruto.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Iruka shouted Naruto stopped at the middle of the stairs. The blond boy looked over his shoulder at Iruka with the same blank look he had before.

"I'm leaving, duh" he scoffed "I did what you wanted and now I'm done" he continued walking towards the door.

The blond boy opened the door when he reached it and left, not even bothering to close the door.

Now don't think that Naruto's moody exit has anything to do with his personality. The only reason he was like this was because his whole life the clone jutsu had escaped him. He did know that he was putting Charka into it but he couldn't even create a puff of smoke that followed a clone jutsu.

In fact almost all of the jutsu they were taught at the academy were virtually useless to him by the mere fact that he couldn't, or could just barely, perform them.

The blond boy sat on the Fourth Hokage's head looking out over Konoha. He had ropes next to him, a bucket with water and a rag. He was tasked by Iruka to clean up his latest prank and, well he didn't want to, he made a promise to the one teacher that actually gave a damn about him to clean the monument.

The blond boy sighed as he looked down at the academy from his position and saw the students let out from the academy, all of them chatting animatedly to one another. Naruto couldn't exactly see them talking but he knew they were.

"The faster you get this done, the faster you can go home" Naruto turned his head to see his teacher standing next to him looking down at him, he was still a bit peeved about Naruto's hasty exit.

"Like that matters" It wasn't surprising that Naruto was also feeling annoyed about earlier "it's not like someone's waiting for me" he grabbed the rope and walked over to one of the many trees that was on top of the monument.

Iruka's eyes softened when he heard that. Of course he knew that Naruto was an orphan and no one was there to guide him through life. He sympathised with the boy, he was much like himself (in a few ways), and he knew that the boy struggled with the Clone Jutsu but he took an oath to never favour one student over the others.

The scarred Chunin had to admit that he could have handled the boy's attempt at the Jutsu a bit better. He had to do something to make it up to the boy.

"Hey Naruto" the blond boy was busy tying the rope to the tree that he assumed would hold him as he cleaned the faces of the monument. He hummed in response "If you finish in time I'll treat you to some Ramen"

That gave Naruto pause. It was a well-known fact that Naruto treasured Ramen and could inhale ungodly amounts without stopping. So it wasn't a surprise when Naruto turned around and grinned at Iruka.

"Now that's how you properly motivate someone Iruka-sensei!" Naruto turned back to the tree and continued tying the rope to it, with much more vigour than before.

Iruka couldn't help but smile at the blond boy's new found enthusiasm.

The next day we find Naruto standing in front of Iruka and his assistant Mizuki in a separate room to keep the other students from seeing what the current student was asked to do to pass the exam.

The brown haired Chunin behind the desk had a look of encouragement on his face, which his white haired assistant copied. Naruto took a deep breath before he looked at his teachers with a determined look on his face.

"Alright Naruto let's get on with the exam" Iruka said. Naruto nodded his head with renewed determination.

Last night, after Naruto had finished cleaning the monument he and Iruka had sat at Naruto's favourite Ramen Stand and had a chat about Naruto's performance at school.

Suffice to say the two weren't exactly happy about that conversation. However it did lead into why Naruto wanted to be a ninja and it actually showed how much drive the boy had to become Hokage.

Iruka actually wanted Naruto to pass he had so much potential that will be wasted if he didn't become a ninja. Iruka knew he was better than he was showing those around him. It was a feeling that would make itself known whenever he sees the blond boy attempting to do any of the jutsu or any school work and failing miserably.

So it wasn't surprising that the minute Naruto walked through the door Iruka was on the edge of his seat with some sweat trailing down his forehead.

"Alright Naruto" the scarred Chunin said "are you ready?" the blond boy nodded his head with a determined look in his eyes.

"Then begin"

Naruto sat on a swing watching his classmates being congratulated by their parents.

He sat under the shade of the tree that the swing was tied to. He was apparently the only one that didn't pass and that stung more than the fact that he didn't pass.

Although it wasn't like he was practically close with anyone in his class. Many would either mock him for being worse than dead-last or just ignore him completely.

Now he would have to come back next year just to repeat the same kind of crap all over again. It pained Naruto to even think about that. Maybe Iruka was wrong when he told him that he had potential? What Kind of Hokage couldn't even make a decent clone? Was he even cut out to be a ninja? Many of his classmates tended to tell him that he was never gonna be a ninja.

"That's him right?" the blond boy heard someone whisper and could feel two sets of eyes boring into him.

"Yeah, I heard he was the only one to fail" Naruto had to force himself not to flinch at that as he kept his eyes on the ground in front of him.

"Good riddance" one of the two women, which were whispering to each other, scoffed "I mean, could you imagine if he became a ninja?"

"We're not supposed to talk about it, remember?" the other woman said looking over her shoulder.

"I didn't say anything about the-" the second woman placed a hand over her friend's mouth.

"Let's go before he notices us and complains to Hokage-sama"

With that the two women walked away leaving Naruto to feel worse than he already did.

It was bad enough that he didn't have anybody to call family but the fact that many, if not all, of the villagers ignored him like the plague hurt as well. The only people that Naruto could even call something akin to family were the people at the ramen stand and the Third Hokage.

That led him to think about what would it be like to have passed? Would someone come and congratulate him like a parent would? What if he came home beat up and near death's door, would someone fret over him like a mother would? Would someone encourage him to get stronger like a father would?

Naruto realised that these types of thoughts were only making him even sadder. So he just decided to escape the area and go home. Maybe there was some ramen there to make him feel a bit better about himself.

A set of teal eyes watched the blond boy leave.

Ino had been close enough to hear the women talking about Naruto; however it was like they were talking in codes. It actually made her curious when she noticed that her blond counterpart was actually affected by the words that were coming from their mouths.

He could try and hide his emotions from others but he couldn't hide his emotions from the Yamanaka, who was trained by her father (who was an interrogator) to notice other people's emotions.

A curious Ino Yamanaka wasn't someone to be trifled with.

However her snooping would have to wait until later. Right now she had to figure out a way to give her over joyed parents the slip so that she could do some more snooping.

Naruto sat in the middle of a clearing in the woods where a small shack was located. This area was where he was instructed to meet his teacher, who had informed him of a special test that would allow him to pass the exams and become a Genin. It was nice when someone actually went so far to actually help Naruto in his quest to become a Ninja, or just in general. So Naruto would regard Mizuki-sensei as one of his special people.

The blond boy grinned as he laid the Forbidden Scroll down in front of him.

"Who knew that get the scroll would have been so easy" Naruto thumped his chest confidently "well I mean that's what people would expect from the next Hokage!"

He opened the scroll and looked for something to learn. It was apparently a condition to passing, besides getting the scroll and bringing it to this location Naruto also had to learn a jutsu from the scroll.

The problem, however, was that Naruto was bad at reading and most of the words on in the scroll escaped him. So he did the next best thing…he randomly picked a jutsu to learn.

Iruka was livid at the moment. He had just been told by the Hokage, along with many other Ninja of the village, that Naruto had just stolen the Forbidden Scroll.

He was livid yet confused. He knew that Naruto was obviously feeling heartbroken about not being able to pass but he knew for a fact that the blond boy wouldn't steal the forbidden scroll without being forced to.

But what was the reason for this action?

Iruka decided he'd ask the boy after he found him (and throttle him for doing something so stupid). The man stopped on a building and closed his eyes. What people didn't know about Iruka was that he was a sensor type ninja.

He only found out about this ability when he became Naruto's teacher. Nobody was able to figure out where the little blond hellion vanished after he had done one of his pranks. So it fell to Iruka to track the boy down.

It was during the first time that Iruka was tasked with finding the boy that he noticed Naruto's Chakra levels were LARGE. It was enormous to the point that even the Hokage would be shocked.

Iruka had once or twice thought that this could have been the reason that Naruto didn't do the clone jutsu. He had asked Naruto's previous teachers if maybe they had noticed this as well. Many had sounded surprised and told Iruka that Naruto was fully capable of doing the clone jutsu. They also said that the reason he didn't do it was because he liked giving his teachers a hard time.

That was the reason why Iruka was so hard on Naruto sometimes.

Shaking his head Iruka refocused on trying to find the blond troublemaker before someone else did and the scarred Chunin would miss his opportunity to ask the blond boy why he would do this.

It didn't take Iruka long to find out where Naruto was, like he said before Naruto's Chakra reserves where enormous. He was surprised when he noticed another chakra reserve in Naruto's general area. They seemed to be heading towards the boy's location at a slow pace. This could be the person to have forced the boy to steal the scroll.

Iruka opened his eyes and noticed that the chakra signatures were located outside of the village walls, which was where he was close to at the moment.

Naruto grinned in triumph as he stared at the newly made crater that was in front of him.

He did it! He mastered a Jutsu from the scroll! It said that the more Chakra the bigger the destruction (he assumed that's what it said), but the boy didn't want to be found out yet, so he tried to use as little chakra as possible. It was still a shock to see the results but he wasn't complaining.

Why didn't they teach these types of Jutsu in the academy? It was easy! There was a sentence that said something about not having the right kind of element (whatever that means).

Either way he finally mastered a Jutsu! All on his own! Take that schooling system!

He didn't even feel tired. Maybe he should fire off a few more practice rounds of the jutsu to make sure that he had a good grasp on the Jutsu. If he did then he should add a bit more Chakra into the Jutsu.

Performing the hands signs again the boy prepared to do the jutsu but he faltered when he heard the bushes behind him rustle. He turned his head and, since he had already put chakra into the Jutsu fired it off at the bushes.

The person in the bush shouted in surprise and jumped out of the way of the blast of wind that hit where they had previously been. Naruto was about to apologise but paused when he noticed who had jumped out of the bushes.

"Ino?" he asked tilting his head to the side. The Yamanaka girl would have found it cute any other time, with the boy's whisker marks and chubby cheeks.

Yeah, she thought it was cute. Ino Yamanaka was a girl to call a spade a spade.

However, it was not the time to compare Naruto's confusion to that of a fox. She had almost been torn apart by the Wind Jutsu that impacted where she was hiding.

"Naruto!" she shouted at the boy stomping over to him and poking him in the chest, taking small pleasure in the fact that the boy was an inch shorter than her, so he had to almost look up to her "You almost killed me!" she shouted.

"Huh…oh, Oh!" the boy stepped back, also noticing the very slight height difference and not being too comfortable with it.

The boy scratched the back of his head with a sheepish look on his face "Sorry about that Ino" he said "I was practicing and you kinda scared me, Dattebayo"

"At least you apologised" Ino crossed her arms and frowned in annoyance "why are you all the way out here?"

Naruto perked up at that and pointed to the scroll at his feet "I'm completing a secret test so that I can pass"

"…"

"…"

"…how stupid are you?" Ino deadpanned. Her expression and question made Naruto face-fault "there's no such thing as a secret test. The one we took at the academy was the only test"

"No way!" Naruto pointed a finger at Ino "Mizuki-sensei said that it's real and look! I mastered a Jutsu from the scroll that I stole! So there!" the boy stuck his tongue out at the girl childishly.

"He was obviously lying to you, nimrod" Ino flipped her hair over her shoulder "how do you know that he's only doing this to make a fool out of you?"

Naruto growled at her in annoyance, he and Ino haven't really seen eye to eye about things in the academy. She hadn't out right bullied him like other students had done (besides yesterday, which even she admitted that she didn't mean to do) but she didn't help either.

So that showed that he didn't practically hold the girl in high regards when it came to people he trusted. She also had a very bossy attitude that kind of put him off.

"Take that back! Mizuki-sensei wouldn't lie!" Naruto pointed at Ino and directed as much anger as he could at the girl. The anger in his eyes actually surprised Ino. Naruto never looked at anyone like that before, not even Sasuke and the two were basically like a cat and a dog when they even spoke to one another.

"Naruto!" the two stopped talking when they head someone else enter the conversation (?). They turned their heads to the side to see Iruka landing in the clearing. He looked both angry and confused at the sight before him.

His fears were confirmed, Naruto had really stolen the Forbidden Scroll (not that he practically doubted the Hokage, but a little doubt wasn't unheard of…). What was worse was that he had apparently dragged Ino into the scheme.

"Iruka-sensei?" the blond boy's rage vanished and turned into confusion "where's Mizuki-sensei?"

"Mizu…" Iruka shook off his confusion "Naruto! Don't you realise what you've done?! You've stolen the Forbidden Scroll! The village's most treasured item!"

Ino's eyes widened as she turned her head to the scroll that was on the floor. So…Naruto wasn't lying about a secret test. It was one hell of a test if it involved the Forbidden Scroll…but why? And what gave him the right to learn a Jutsu out of that scroll? It was regarded as Forbidden for a reason.

"But Mizuki-sensei said that…it was a fake" Naruto looked very confused and panicked. Ino's head shot towards Naruto in shock, he didn't know that he had stolen the ACTUAL Forbidden Scroll?

"Mizuki…said…" Iruka furrowed his brows in confusion before something clicked in his mind "Naruto take the scroll and get to the village, now! Ino you also go!" he would question why she was also there, later.

The two were surprised at the desperate tone that the Chunin used and would have left if it wasn't for another voice that spoke up. They all looked up to one of the branches and saw Mizuki standing there with two Giant Shuriken strapped to his back.

"Well done Naruto" he said in a tone that sounded impressed, but even Naruto could hear the underlying mocking tone "now hand over the scroll and I'll promote you…"

Naruto picked up the scroll and stepped back along with Ino, who was extremely confused at the moment. Why did a former teacher of theirs want the Forbidden scroll?

"…to hell, you demon!" Mizuki reached into his ninja pouch and grabbed a hand full of shuriken that he hurled at Naruto and Ino.

Ino quickly leapt out of the way but Naruto was rooted to the spot in shock. Someone he had just decided to trust had just turned around and betrayed him. Worse, he was trying to kill him!

The Uzumaki felt himself being shoved out of the way as the shuriken closed in on him. He looked over and noticed that Iruka was the one to shove him out of the way. However that meant that the scarred Chunin was the one to take the brunt of impact.

"Iruka-sensei!" shouted Naruto and Ino seeing their homeroom teacher falling back towards the wall of the shack in the clearing from the force of the shuriken.

"You idiot! I almost killed the demon!" Mizuki shouted at Iruka and noticed Naruto wince slightly. That gave him an idea, a very devious idea indeed.

"Hey Naruto" he said with a friendly smile, which none of them trusted for a second "do you ever wonder why everybody in the village hates you?"

Iruka's eyes widened in shock along with Naruto's, both for different reasons.

"Mizuki, you can't!" the Chunin shouted but winced as he tried to stand up. Some of the shuriken had pierced very painful areas and if he moved too much there was a chance that he would start losing blood fast "It's forbidden!" so he resorted to try and stop the man with his words.

Mizuki ignored him and continued "I know the reason why and I'll tell you…" he smirked when he saw the interested look on Naruto's face "for you see-"

"Stop!" Iruka shouted.

"12 years ago we were all told that the Fourth defeated the Kyuubi and killed him, but that isn't what happened-" even Ino was interested now.

"Don't say it!" Iruka tried to get up but he fell back down in pain.

"You see he actually sealed it away…in a baby…" Ino's eyes widened in shock, she kind of knew where Mizuki was going with this. She looked towards Naruto in shock, who was still confused "and that baby was-"

"You…" Ino said in shock making Naruto look towards her. He saw the shock and fear filled eyes. Mizuki laughed in glee.

"Yes! You are the Nine Tailed Fox!" Naruto's eyes widened as he remembered all the whispers that he heard from the villagers his whole life. Demon, Fox Brat, Hell Spawn, those were just some of the cleaner versions.

"Now die!" Mizuki shouted taking one of the Big Shuriken on his back. He started spinning it before he threw it at Naruto, who was now frozen. He had just gotten a big revelation thrown at him and his brain was struggling to cope with it.

He was once again pushed out of the way but this time instead of a grunt he heard a scream. His head whipped towards where he was standing to see Ino standing there with the Giant Shuriken sticking out of her back.

"W-Wah…Ino!" Naruto ran over to her and caught the blond girl as she fell forward. She coughed up some blood.

"I…don't really…understand Sealing Jutsu…but I know that if something's…sealed inside something it's not the thing it's sealed in…" Ino let out a small pained laugh "y-you may have the Kyuubi in you, but that d-doesn't…make you the fox…"

Naruto's eyes widened in shock, didn't Ino look at him with fear a few second ago? Why was she protecting him, didn't she hate him?

"I'm sick of all this interruptions I'll send you and your little demon supporters to hell!" Mizuki grabbed a kunai from his pouch and jumped to the floor rushing towards Naruto.

It was at that moment that something in Naruto just…snapped.

"RAAAAAAAGH!" the boy threw his head back and shouted as, to everyone's shock, black tendrils shot out of his back. The tendrils shot towards Mizuki, who jumped to the side but felt one of the tendrils go through his side making him shout in pain.

Naruto looked up and his eyes were blank and glowing red like the red lines on the tendrils. He grabbed Ino and slowly extracted the Shuriken from her back, making the girl hiss in pain. When the weapon was extracted he put the girl behind him and placed himself between her and Mizuki.

The tendrils pulled back (making Mizuki shout in pain since the tendril was still in his side). The boy crouched down before he took off after the whited haired Chunin at speeds that shocked the three in the clearing. The boy made two hand signs before his cheeks puffed up.

Wind Style: Vacuum Great Sphere

A huge gust of wind exited Naruto's mouth the minute he opened it. The wind shot towards Mizuki, who dove out of the way. The wind Jutsu flew past where Mizuki was and up rooted trees in its path.

Ino was the most shocked at the moment. When Naruto shot the Jutsu off at her direction it only created a small dent in a tree but this time it had the force of a tornado in it as it travelled.

Naruto crouched down and placed his hands on the ground making the tendrils dive into the ground.

Mizuki was once again forced to dodge when he felt the earth underneath his feet rumble. The ground broke and the tendrils shot out trying to impale Mizuki, who kept dodging.

When the ground stopped shaking and the tendrils stopped trying to impale him, Mizuki breathed a sigh of relief. That relief was short lived as Naruto suddenly appeared in front of him and gripped his face with one hand. He shocked the others again when he lifted the man up slightly off his feet.

The tendrils came out of the ground and all aimed at Mizuki. The tendrils grew sharp at the ends and, to Ino and Iruka's horror and shock respectively, started to repeatedly stab Mizuki making the man scream in pain.

A small smirk came to Naruto's face as he watched the man getting impaled. This feeling…this power! He could do anything!

"Naruto! Stop!" he idly heard someone shout at him, but he didn't recognise the voice so he kept on stabbing, this Naruto must be in big trouble if someone was shouting at him.

"Naruto!" there it was again. This Naruto better answer before he also got impaled.

Naruto felt someone wrap their arms around his mid-section making him freeze in surprise. Even the tendrils stopped their movements with all of them still inside of Mizuki.

"Please…" the boy's eyes widened, now the voice sounded familiar "stop…this isn't you…" the person was weeping into his back.

Naruto clutched his head in pain as he fell to his knees. It seemed like his mind was being pulled apart. The tendrils pushed forward until they exited the back of Mizuki, who weakly screamed. Then his body slowly turned into the same substance the tendrils were made of. Mizuki then basically dissolved into the tendrils which then returned silently back to Naruto's back.

Iruka looked on in horror at the area where Mizuki was previously being stabbed. All that was left was a discarded kunai and a lot of blood.

The scarred Chunin turned towards Naruto, who was still silent with a sobbing Ino holding him around the waist.

'What…what was that…' Iruka thought in shock.

Tell me what you think in a review
