Naruto: Dream To Immortality - Chapter 198

Title: Scroll of Sealings…

….

After Naruto cleans the four Hokage faces, he and Iruka go to Ichiraku Ramen and sit down. Iruka decides to ask. “So, not that I am complaining. But why didn’t you vandalize the 5th Hokage’s face on the mountain.”

Iruka is truly curious about this, due to Naruto ever vandalizing the 5th Hokage’s Face on the Hokage Mountain.

Naruto has a look on his face that is full of conviction.

“I know that the Hokage earned their names.” Says Naruto calmly, while stirring his ramen bowl. Then he looks at Iruka with a confident smile on his face. “But I will surpass them all.”

Iruka just raises an eyebrow at this. “How will you do that?. Plus why didn’t you still didn’t tell me the reason you don’t vandalize the 5th Hokage’s face.”

Naruto looks annoyed at this. “Well, if I did something like that Yoruichi -nee would hunt me down and beat me up. And she always finds me super easily, unlike the other Chunin.”

Iuka looks confused at this. “So she stops you from vandalizing the 5th’s face but doesn’t care about the others?”

As Iruka says that Naruto just shrugs his shoulders. “I am not really sure of that. But she only appears when I am close to uncle Yami’s monument.”

Iruka smiles at this as if already knowing something that Naruto has no idea about.

‘It is most likely a Genjutsu that is cast when one is in the proximity of the statue.’ Contemplates Iruka, as he comes to his conclusion. Though that sounds like something impossible. Yoruichi is the daughter of the debated strongest Genjutsu User Konoha has ever had. Even Kurenai is only recognized as strong before she uses Yami Inuzuka’s signature Genjutsus.

….

The next day comes around and this time it is the Genin Exam. Naruto is waiting outside of the class for his final examination. One by one, the students enter, when they come outside, they either have happy or sad faces. Initiating if they passed or if they failed the exam. When others asked the kids, they all gave different answers about what the exam was about. Some said that it was one of the three basic jutsus learned in the academy. Some others said that their test consisted of throwing Kunai or Shuriken or so.

Naruto immediately gets nervous at this, if it’s the Transformation Jutsu, he can easily do it. But if it’s the Clone or Substitution Jutsu, if it’s the latter he might… probably pass. But if it’s the Clone jutsu, he knows that the chances of passing are slim to none.

“Naruto Uzumaki, come in.” Comes the voice from the inside of the room. The voice belongs to Mizuki, he is Iruka’s colleague in teaching the young Academy Students.

Naruto nervously goes in, and immediately Iruka asks. “Okay now, Naruto, do the Clone Jutsu.”

Immediately an unknown heaviness settles over Naruto’s heart.

‘C’mon now, I can do this I just gotta believe in myself.’ Thinks Naruto as he tries to encourage himself.

He gathers his chakra and does the tiger handsign, trying to summon a clone.

*poof*

And in a cloud of smoke appears next to him. Naruto still is nervous as he looks at his creation and sees… the clone… who looks more like a blow up doll.

Iruka just shakes his head at this. “Sorry Naruto, but it seems like you will have to wait for one more year.”

Naruto looks down and walks away from the classroom, dejected by the answer that he got. This is his third failure, has tried two previous times for early graduation, he took the test… but he still failed.

….

In the afternoon as Naruto was walking around dejected, he hears someone call out to him. “Hey! Naruto!”

When he turns back to look, he sees that it is one of his teachers, it is Mizuki. He smiles at Naruto and as he gets close to him he says. “I know of a way that you can become a Genin… it is called the secret exam.”

Naruto’s face immediately brightens up when he hears this. “Really, so that means that I didn’t fail and won’t have to repeat another year right?”

Mizuki nods at this. “Yep, this is like a ninja mission. After all, a ninja has to look underneath, the underneath. You must look at things from an outside perspective and think outside the box.”

Naruto’s face brightens at this. “Tell me the super secret test. I promise that I will complete it.”

….

That day, in the evening inside the Hokage’s office. It was dark and there seems to be no one.

Suddenly the window opens and a figure wearing all yellow comes inside. It is Naruto, he has come inside the office and is looking around. He finally saw the giant scroll that Mizuki told him to get, in order to pass the secret exam.

‘Yes I found it. Now I can become a Genin for real.’ Thinks Naruto, as he has a wide smile on his face. He immediately runs away from the scene jumping out of the window.

But suddenly, back in the Hokage’s office two figures appear out of the darkness. It was Yami and Yoruichi. They both had malicious smiles on their faces.

Yami just whispers to his daughter. “You know what to do now.”

Yoruichi nods and answers with a simple. “Yep!” As lightning  curses through her skin, forming a cat tail and ears made out of lightning.

She immediately disappears from her location going towards a certain location that she can sense a certain dumb Chunin.

‘Dad really knows how to amuse himself. As expected of the person with the most free time in Konoha.’ Thinks Yoruichi as she blitzes from building to building, travelling at breakneck speeds.

….

On the other side of the village, Naruto just looks at Iruka, who has a giant shuriken lodged into his back, while he still says. “Naruto isn’t the Nine Tailed Fox. He is Naruto of Konoha.”

Naruto cries at this and as Iruka falls down on the ground he looks at Mizuki with a furious look on his face. His whiskers become more pronounced and his eyes reddened, turning into slits. A growl comes out of his throat as he says. “You dare hurst Iruka -sensei… I will kill you.”

When Mizuki sees this, he isn’t intimidated at all. After all, he knows that no matter how much chakra he has. Naruto is useless at being a ninja and can’t even throw a shuriken straight. He has been teaching him for years so he is specially inclined to know of Naruto’s progress.

But suddenly Naruto makes his fingers in a cross sign and says. “Shadow Clone Jutsu.”

*POOOF*

Immediately a huge gust of smoke appears on the surroundings as hundreds of clones appear. This is when Mizuki looks a little afraid at this bit then…

*baaam*

Bashes a kick on his head, and out of the lighting a female voice comes out saying. “Hello there sh*tty spy…”

It is Yoruichi, clad in a skin tight dark full body suit, kicking Mizuki in the face, with just enough power to knock him out. But even while he was being electrocuted, Mizuki couldn’t help but admire the person kicking him.

“H -How beautiful.” Says Mizuki as he falls into unconsciousness.

*plop!* and falls on the ground. Yoruichi on the other hand has a sadistic smile on her face as she kicks an unconscious Mizuki.

“You m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic creep. You are too ugly, weak and insecure for you to even think about me that way.”
