Chapter Text

A boy with black spiky hair, blue eyes fair white skin in a bright orange jumpsuit with blue trim, and a snowflake in a blue circle on the back sits in the middle of a forest. 

"I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT." The boy exclaimed, taking the scroll off his back. ' I, Yuki Naruto, will finally be a ninja.' He continued in thought.

' All I have to do is just learn a jutsu.' As he was about to open it, "NARUTO! What are you doing!?" Iruka screamed.

The boy looked up at his sensei and excitedly said, "SENSEI, SENSEI! I did it! I got the scroll!"

Iruka, confused, repeated, "Naruto. What are you doing?"

The boy, now confused, said, "Mizuki-sensei said if I got this scroll, I could pass and become a ninja.'' Iruka then asked. "Mizuki-sensei?" Right before said sensei appeared. And the speech Mizuki gave explains a lot about why people treated him so badly, all because he was the demon that killed so many people and he was a part of a clan not of Konoha, and because of that he is not a true Konohanian. He then looks to Iruka, the man who was like a father to him. He killed his parents. HIM. The only good thing was that he was from a clan, but not from Konoha. He is not even from Konoha. The next thing that happen was Iruka was in front of him with a giant shuriken stuck in his back, telling him that he is not the demon but its jailer, that he didn't kill his parents, that he is a Konohanian, that he is proud of him and he should run to get help.

The next thing he remembers is crying into Iruka's flak jacket with Mizuki impaled with ice still breathing with masked men surrounding him. He then looks up at Iruka, handing him his hitai-ate.

"Yuki Naruto, you pass. You are now a ninja of Konoha." He ties it around his head. "I'm proud of you." Iruka said with a smile.

After about an hour at the hospital, making sure his wounds were healed. Iruka is now standing in front of the Hokage.

"Hokage-sama." Iruka bowed.

"I got the reports from the Anbu on site, and I was told something very interesting." The Hokage said in an amused voice. "Like that the traitor, Mizuki, was impaled with ice." He took a puff of his pipe, "Could you tell me about that?"

Iruka is thinking he knows already and that his testimony will be shit. So he starts to give his report, from the instances of Mizuki told him that the scroll of seals had been stolen by Naruto to finding him in the forest, then Naruto telling him that…

"Sorry to interrupt your report, but did he open the scroll?" The Hokage asked.

"No, I stopped him before he could." Iruka, after saying that, thought he saw the Hokage frown slightly at that but it was gone in less than a blink of an eye. "Then Mizuki-san showed up and told Naruto-kun about the Kyuubi-" He should have also said that he told him of his clan but he had a feeling that it would be a bad idea, "-then he threw a Fuuma Shuriken at Naruto-kun, I jumped in the way told him to run for help. Then…then…"

"Well, what happened next?" The Hokage asked, taking another puff from his pipe.

"I don't know." He does. He took the Fuuma Shuriken out of his back, using what little knowledge he has of medical ninjutsu to keep from bleeding out. He then felt the kyuubi's chakra, and it felt almost as suffocating as that night he lost his parents, but then the temperature dropped he look up and saw Naruto covered in the kyuubi's chakra and Mizuki impaled with a lot of ice. But he has a feeling that something bad will happen if he tells the Hokage that. "I remember waking up with Naruto holding and crying on me, then I gave him my hitai-ate and told him he graduated."

"Thank you, you are dismissed." The Hokage then waved him away with a polite smile.

Iruka, once out of the building, started to hyperventilate but got it under control before it became a problem. But that was the most he lied to the Hokage, most of the time he had to lie on his reports about Naruto to help keep most of the teachers out of T&I. But that wasn't to his face, and it wasn't as small as lying on a report. To get his mind off it he was just going to go home to sleep this off. And thinking about it, he most likely already knew of Naruto's kekkei genkai.

This is going to be a hassle.
