(3rd POV)
(A/N: Kazuya is controlling Naruto's Body so just a heads up. I will call him Naruto here.)
Naruto suddenly heard a vile chuckle coming from a distance.
"Give me the scroll, Naruto! I will let you pass the exam then!" Mizuki said as he jumped down from a tree.
"NO! Don't give him the scroll Naruto! Run!" Iruka said.
Mizuki was not happy with Iruka interfering so he threw a few shuriken at Naruto in order to disable Naruto and deal with Iruka first.
But Iruka jumped and tried to protect Naruto.
Mizuki smiled at this.
It just made everything even easier as he knew that Iruka had somewhat of a soft spot of orphans. Iruka saw himself in orphans and it was a weakness he tried to exploit and succeeded.
He threw a few more projectiles towards Iruka to make sure than he doesn't interfere when he steals the scroll from Naruto.
He then rushed towards Naruto to claim the scroll but Naruto ran away from him.
After a few minutes of running, Naruto suddenly turned around.
Mizuki was startled because of this and he prepared himself to fight but frowned when he saw that Naruto made a hand seal that he didn't recognize.
"Multi Shadow clone jutsu!"
Mizuki was scared when he saw a lot of Narutos pop out everywhere.
He was a chunnin but that doesn't mean he can counter a lot of numbers right now.
Even jonins can have a hard time if 3 genins are working together seriously, chunnins would obviously get crushed.
But his current situation was different here.
It was even dire.
The enemies against him are exactly same and hence even if their teamwork sucks right now, they can probably adjust to it a lot faster.
This meant this battle was of endurance and he clearly couldn't win as he was already tired from running away from a lot of shinobi and brief encounters he had with Iruka.
As a last ditch attempt to save his skin, Mizuki just spat as he said.
"This is why everyone hates you, Kyuubi! You were the one responsible for so many deaths! No one likes you because of this! You always get in people's way and annoy them! You-" Mizuki said as he tried to exploit the opponent mentally.
He had seen what sort of treatment Naruto received and this will probably delay Naruto a bit while he gets some room to breath and maybe think of a plan to escape now.
"Does it look like I care?" All of them said together and rushed towards Mizuki.
This was completely out of Mizuki's calculations and intel he collected during Naruto's academy days.
He underestimated his opponent just because he was a kid. He didn't hesitate to use his Kunai, Shuriken and other tools in order to fight against Narutos.
He couldn't do anything as he ran out of weapons to use and even tried using a few jutsus.
It simply wasn't enough to take down all Naruto's shadow clones.
"SAVE M-" Mizuki tried to scream but Narutos started beating him up.
After some beating, 5 Narutos came forward and used the Kunai Mizuki threw and started to stab him all over the body repeatedly.
Mizuki felt only fear and pain in those moments, realizing he messed with the wrong person.
He only saw a bloodthirsty demon in place of Naruto.
It was sickening and shameful for him to watch someone play with him like this as he dies.
He couldn't even move now.
"Don't lose your consciousness right now! The fun has just begun!" One of the Narutos came forward, sneered and started kick him in the stomach and ribs.
All other Narutos did the same until Mizuki's ribs were broken and turned purple from the beating.
"Miss me in hell. I won't be visiting you anytime soon but I will send some companions for you to hangout with." One of the Naruto said as he struck a kunai in Mizuki's head.
Naruto cracked Mizuki's skull and exposed his brain with a few strikes.
After confirming Mizuki's death, Naruto's knees got weak after seeing the scene and he vomited a lot.
But he still mustered some willpower and destroyed Mizuki's brain with multiple kunais.
He didn't want to get in trouble because of Yamanaka clan's brain searching details.
As for his own memories getting searched, he was sure it wouldn't work as the real Naruto didn't see anything and Kazuya wouldn't be affected by the mind jutsus as they all were related with to soul and Kazuya's soul was hidden.
(A/N: Kazuya can alllow or forbid Naruto from seeing outside after he takes control, one of the perks I gave him and was mentioned in previous chapters.)
Morever, Hokage wouldn't allow anyone to invade Naruto's mind as the person who invades might encounter the Kyuubi and might even die for no reason at all and even mess up Bijuu-Jinchuriki relation.
He had some experience in dealing with this as he had seen and sometimes talked to Mito as well as Kushina about it.
Just to be sure, the original Naruto asked another Naruto to slash him in multiple spots so nothing seems suspicious.
The original Naruto then undid the shadow clones and withdrew from Naruto's body while also not allowing Naruto to go outside.
He effectively fainted.

After the whole ordeal was dealt with and Naruto's body was carried to hospital by Iruka.
Naruto had fainted and not woken up for a few days now and Hiruzen was quite stressed.
From Iruka's testimony, Mizuki was discovered to be a traitor.
A traitor who was educating the future of the village.
This event was hidden away from the public.
This is yet another big stain on Hiruzen's reputation and he was attacked by Danzo and the council, being questioned what sort of Hokage doesn't check the teachers in the academy.
He just had to silently take this and wasn't able to do anything about it.
The jinchuriki's mental health was also discussed a lot and Hiruzen managed to get Naruto out of the trouble with Naruto just polishing the Hokage monument for a month.
Danzo did tried to push Hiruzen into giving him Naruto and the reasons were considered appropriate by other elders as well.
Because Hiruzen was pushed so far in the corner, he finally used his power and authority as a Hokage and reminded them why they weren't in his position by flaring his chakra a little in front of all of them.
Needless to say, All the Elders except Danzo were scared, Sh*tless.
Even Danzo was scare but he didn't show any of it on his face.
Due to this momentum, Elders and Danzo were slammed with some dirt that Hiruzen had collected against them, making them unable to argue further and back down.
He also threatened them that if they tried doing anything to Naruto, he would make them regret it very dearly.
During this ordeal, Naruto was peacefully sleeping and lazing inside Kazuya's soul space room.
Kazuya didn't let Naruto exit the Soul space and hence Naruto had nothing better to do than sleep. Kazuya didn't want Naruto to be under suspicion so he didn't let him go outside and gain consciousness back again.
He also realized something. What Kazuya lacked right now was experience as a ninja.
He still was panicking a lot and almost created a lot of mess.
He didn't have the calmness and effective ways to analyze like a ninja should.
He scolded himself while also dealing with the emotional stress caused by killing yet another person. This time, he didn't react as strongly but the gore was too much for him to handle so he ended up vomiting.
He did some planning while thinking about the future. He wanted to accumulate a lot of experience under his belt in order to becoming the strongest.
