章節 568: Saeko's Confession

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, the Village Hidden in the Leaves. 

 

December 24, x787. 

 

After sending off the guests, Alfonzo was in his makeshift workshop working on a new magic item. He had always wanted to create radio stations and music players for the magic vehicles, to make long trips a little less monotonous. And ever since he created a recording studio in his mansion, that desire became even stronger. 

 

However, in the past, other things always came up that needed his attention. But now, Alfonzo finally had the time to work on that project. So, he intended to have, at least a prototype finished by the weekend. That way, he would be able to work on the real thing with Ai when he came back to see Amar'e and his ladies. 

 

"*Sigh* Ai is still gonna be upset that I worked on this without her." Alfonzo muttered to himself while making the parts for the magic playing magic item. "Still, she's really got a talent for this kinda thing. Maybe I should fire her as a maid and hire her for Sixth Sense Holdings' R&D department." 

 

*Knock!* *Knock!* *Knock!* 

 

"Well, it looks like she's here." Alfonzo whispered to himself with a smile. Then he put down what he was working on and turned to the door of the workshop and continued at a normal volume. "Come in." 

 

A moment later, the door to the workshop opened. Though it, Saeko entered. Through, unlike her usual confident demeanor, she was slightly blushing while not making eye contact with Alfonzo. 

 

Seeing Saeko's unusually shy expression, Alfonzo could not help widening his smile. However, he did not speak, waiting for Saeko to tell him why she was here. 

 

Saeko, on the other hand, after closing the door to the workshop, slowly closed the distance between herself and Alfonzo . Then, when she was at a comfortable speaking distance, although she did not speak, she stole a glance at him. And when she saw the smile on his face, she felt even more shy. 

 

'He knows why I'm here.' Saeko thought to herself with butterflies in her stomach. 'What am I thinking, of course he knows why I'm here. I know he's skilled enough to have sensed my emotions while we were sparring earlier. This is so embarrassing.' 

 

Like that, with Alfonzo seated in front of his workbench and Saeko standing not far away with her head lowered and the blush on her cheeks intensifying, the room fell into silence. However, Alfonzo did not leave it like that for too long. 

 

"So, do you need anything, Saeko?" Alfonzo asked, a teasing smile playing on his lips. 

 

Hearing Alfonzo's question, Saeko flinched. Though, it was so minute that if Alfonzo had not been paying attention to her, he would have missed it. 

 

"I… Um… wanted to talk to you about… something." Saeko stammered out. 

 

"Okay, I'm all ears." Alfonzo said, his teasing smile not leaving his lips. 

 

Once again, Saeko stole a glance at Alfonzo. And when she once again saw that smile, her shyness increased. Despite that, she took a deep breath to say what she wanted to say. 

 

"During our spar this evening, I could… feel… your fondness for me, you know." Saeko said quietly. 

 

"Yeah, I could feel yours, too." Alfonzo said with a nod. "But if you needed the spar to tell that I like you, then you really haven't been paying attention." 

 

"*Sigh* I always had an idea about that." Saeko admitted. "but I was too scared to confirm it. I'm sure you've been able to notice that I have a little problem, right?" 

 

"You're talking about the way you enjoy inflicting violence on others, right?" Alfonzo asked, his smile fading as he did so. 

 

"Yes." Saeko replied pensively. "Because of that, I was afraid of how you'd react." 

 

"Well, you shouldn't have been." Alfonzo replied, his expression morphing into a wry smile. "I've only seen you act that way with your enemies, so far. Besides, I get along just fine with Irene. And she's a pretty high-level sadist. Laki's a sadist, too, and I---" 

 

"And she's the only one of the girls who have known you since childhood that you rejected." Saeko said, interrupting Alfonzo's reply. "And after hearing that, I didn't think you would accept me either. Because although she's a sadist, Laki doesn't genuinely enjoy hurting people. Something I do enjoy, which makes me way worse." 

 

With that, the room fell silent and Saeko once again lowered her head. 

 

*Sigh* I think you're under a misconception, Saeko." Alfonzo said softly. "The reason I didn't accept Laki has nothing to do with her sadism." 

 

Hearing that, Saeko once again raised her head. 

 

"I don't know who told you about me rejecting Laki's confession." Alfonzo continued. "It was done publicly, so it's not a secret. But whoever did, clearly didn't tell you the whole story." 

 

"It was Juvia… She somehow noticed that I liked you right after I joined the guild." Saeko murmured. 

 

"Well, that makes sense." Alfonzo replied with a nod. "Back then, she kinda hated me… a lot. You know, since I had stolen away one of her 'soul mates'." 

 

As he spoke the words, "soul mates," Alfonzo raised his hands to make air quotes. 

 

"But there is more to that story, you know?" Alfonzo continued, despite the look of realization that flashed across Saeko's face. "Besides, she wasn't even around to see the real reason why I rejected Laki." 

 

"Then, why did you reject her?" Saeko asked curiously. "From what I can tell, the two of you get along pretty well. Plus, she's quite pretty." 

 

"I can't deny either of those points." Alfonzo said with a shrug. "But those had nothing to do with it, either. The real reason I rejected her was because she wanted me to break up with Lici, Cana, Erza, and Sun.. Those four were my only girlfriends back then, by the way… to be with her alone." 

 

That caused Saeko to open her eyes wide in surprise. Then, her expression turned into a frown. 

 

'If I had only asked someone about it, I would have been able to find out about that much earlier.' Saeko thought to herself. 'But I had no idea how to bring up something like that to anyone. Besides, until I really felt how fond of me he was during our spar, I did not have the courage to tell him how I felt before this. *Sigh* If only I had thought things through, we could have had this conversation over a year ago.' 

 

"Yes, now that I think about it, Juvia was probably not the best source of information when it came to you." Saeko said in a frustrated tone. "Though, she has gotten better since then. I knew how much she… didn't like you back then. Yet, I still took her words at face value." 

 

In response, Alfonzo only shrugged his shoulders. 

 

"*Sigh* Now I feel kinda dumb for waiting this long." Saeko muttered. Then, with a resolute expression on her face, she continued while looking Alfonzo in the eyes. "If you don't mind, I'd like to tell you about what lead me to enjoying the violence I inflict on others." 

 

Alfonzo simply nodded in response while gesturing to a second chair. 

 

Sitting in the offered seat, Saeko told Alfonzo about how she had been returning from a competition with another swordsmanship dojo back when she was living in Takanosu. On her way home that evening, a man approached her while she was cutting between two buildings to save time. And how the man had every intension of violating her. Luckily, she had her practice sword on her, as she was returning from a competition, so she was able to defend herself. 

 

However, while fighting off her attacker, she heard one of the man's bones break after one of her strikes. An anguished scream tore from his throat after that. And when she heard those two sounds in succession, she explained that something about her changed, and that she wanted to hear more. 

 

So, she continued to hit him, despite the fact that he was no longer able to defend himself. In the end, she ended up beating him to death. Luckily, the knights in the town concluded that it was a case of self-defense. And the fact that the man who attacked her was suspected of several sexual crimes in the past, helped her case quite a bit, as well. 

 

"Ever since that day, I've been afraid of myself." Saeko continued after her story ended. "I was afraid that dark part of me would take over and I would hurt someone I care about in the same way. That fear even kept me from confessing to the boy I liked back at the academy. Because of it, I had convinced myself that I was undeserving of anyone's affection." 

 

Then, Saeko once again lowered her head while clenching her fists and gritting her teeth in frustration. A moment later, however, she smiled as she made eye contact with Alfonzo again. 

 

"That was until you saved me and the others from that horde of zombies." Saeko said. "Your strength, your swordsman ship, I was drawn to them…" 

 

Reaching that point, Saeko's smile turned into an embarrassed one. 

 

"… tasting your cooking added to that feeling, as well." Saeko said in a mosquito-like whisper. 

 

At that moment, Alfonzo had to use all his willpower to not laugh aloud. His friends had been telling him that he was using his cooking to conquer the hearts of maidens for a long time. So, hearing Saeko's embarrassed whispers, he could not help but think back to those conversations. 

 

A moment later, seemingly having not noticed Alfonzo's struggle, the resolute expression returned to Saeko's face as she continued. 

 

"Alfonzo, I like you." Saeko said in no uncertain terms. "In fact, it would not be an over exaggeration to say that I've fallen in love with you." 

 

In the next instant, Saeko slid off her chair, dropping to one knee in front of Alfonzo. At the same time, she [Requipped] her katana into her hand. Then, she unsheathed it and presented it to Alfonzo respectfully with both hands raised above her bowed head. 

 

"Therefore, from this day forward, I vow to give my body, heart, and soul to you and only you for the rest of my life." Saeko continued, the determination in her tone unwavering. "And should you require it, I shall become the sword that slays your enemies or the companion to keep you company during the lonely nights." 

 

Seeing Saeko's actions and hearing her declaration, Alfonzo could not help but freeze up in dumbfounded amazement. 

 

'I know that samurai and bushido exist in this world.' Alfonzo thought to himself while staring blankly at Saeko. 'Hell, the samurai from Naruto live in Iceberg. But I didn't think their doctrines existed in Fiore. Man, this is really awkward…" {A/N: From what I saw recently on the FT Wiki, Isvan was changed to Iceberg at some point. Not sure when, though.} 

 

Shaking his head, Alfonzo accepted Saeko's sword. Though, he did not know what to do after that. So, Using his [Metal Magic], he drew the sheath to him. Then, he sheathed the sword and handed it back to Saeko. Meanwhile, Saeko looked up at Alfonzo with apprehension. And when he sheathed her sword, that apprehension turned into disappointment, thinking that he had rejected her confession. 

 

"Saeko, I don't need a vow like that." Alfonzo said in a gentle tone. "I don't require your fealty." 

 

Saeko's expression dropped after hearing that. Now, she was sure that her confession had been rejected. As a result, she felt tears pooling in her eyes. 

 

"I'm no noble, Saeko." Alfonzo continued, completely aware of the misunderstanding Saeko was having. "I'm just a commoner. A very strong and very rich one, yes, but I'm still a commoner, nonetheless. So, the only thing I need from you is your affection. That's more than enough for me, okay? And if you can give me that, then, I'd be happy to have you as a girlfriend." 

 

Hearing that, Saeko raised her head in confusion. With that, the tears that had gathered in her eyes slid down her face. A moment later, after registering what Alfonzo said, even more tears fell from her eyes. However, these tears were decidedly happier in nature. 

 

Seeing the tears falling from Saeko's eyes, Alfonzo smiled gently as he reached out and wiped away her tears. This action snapped Saeko back to her senses. Then, she nodded her head while smiling beautifully. 

 

"I understand." Saeko said happily. "Thank you… Thank you for accepting me." 

 

With that, Saeko [Requipped] her katana back into her storage space. Then, she slowly reached forward, eventually wrapping her arms around Alfonzo, who pulled her up into his lap and initiated their first kiss. Then, after breaking the kiss, they spent the next while embracing tenderly as they talked about various topics. 

 

In the end, Saeko fell asleep on Alfonzo's lap. So, he carried her to her bedroom and tucked her into bed before going back to his own bedroom and going to sleep himself.

章節 569: The Traitorous Chunin Instructor

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, the Village Hidden in the Leaves. 

 

March, x788. 

 

Since the night Alfonzo and Saeko confirmed their relationship, a few months have passed, and the calendar has rolled over to yet another new year. In this time, not much of note has taken place. Other than Alfonzo completing the music devices that could be mounted in magic vehicles and advertising the recording studios to many of Ishgar's most popular performers, that is. 

 

As for everyone's ordinary life, everything has gone as it always has. Alfonzo has continued to overhaul the Village Hidden in the Leaves' training fields while training Naruto in the [Art of Sealing] in the evenings. Wendy has continued her work in the village hospital along with training Sakura in the basics of [Medical Ninjutsu], Saeko has continued teaching swordsmanship to Sasuke, who stopped complaining about it after Saeko sparred with Alfonzo, and Laki continued to help train the academy kids while trying to see what was under Kakashi's mask at every opportunity. 

 

Back in Magnolia, however, something of great importance, at least to the members of Fairy Tail, happened. Another pregnancy was announced at the beginning of February. And to everyone's surprise, it was not Bisca who announced it. Instead, it was Lisanna. Apparently, the reward she promised Natsu after he did not get into any fights on Tenrou Island during the S-Class Promotion Exam was quite intense. 

 

The only unfortunate thing that came from this undoubtedly good piece of news, was the fact that Mirajane was now quite impatient to have a baby of her own, claiming that she wanted hers and Lisanna's children to grow up together. 

 

Luckily, the other ladies were not so impatient as Mirajane. So, Alfonzo was not getting flooded with pregnancy requests. Not to say that he was against having so many children. However, he would like to space them out, at least a little. That way, the older ones could help take care of the younger ones. 

 

Back to the present, today was the day before the graduation exam for the ninja academy kids. Meaning, their time spent training with Alfonzo and the ladies had come to an end. So, instead of training today, they were all sitting down for a meal in the dining room of the residence. 

 

"So, are you all ready for the exam tomorrow?' Alfonzo asked after everyone was seated for dinner. 

 

"Of course, I am!" Naruto shouted energetically. "I'm gonna become a Genin. Then, I'm gonna complete all kinds of amazing missions. And when I do, they'll have no choice but to make me Hokage, you know?" 

 

"Sure, Naruto..." everyone, tired of hearing about Naruto's dream of being Hokage by now, said in unison. 

 

"What about the rest of you?" Alfonzo asked with a smile. 

 

"After all the training you put us through, if we can't pass, we don't deserve to be shinobi." Kiba replied. 

 

"*Bark!*" Akamaru added, raising his head from his food bowl just long enough to bark. 

 

"I guess Akamaru thinks it's more important to eat than to talk." Wendy said with a smile. 

 

"Who cares what that dog thinks." Carla said snappily. 

 

"Grr!" Akamaru growled in response. 

 

"*Hiss!*" Carla shot back. 

 

"As often as this back and forth happens, I'm surprised the cat and the dog have not come to blows." Laki said while shifting her attention between Carla and Akamaru. 

 

"It's because Akamaru is smarter than his master." Sasuke said in a condescending tone while quietly eating the dinner Alfonzo prepared. "Unlike Kiba, he would never charge into a fight that he could never win. Carla's at least as strong as a strong Chunin, after all." 

 

"What was that?" Kiba shouted explosively. "I would never charge into a fight I couldn't win." 

 

"Only because Akamaru would stop you, more than likely." Shino, the least likely to speak out of the Rookie 9, said in an emotionless tone. 

 

The fact that Shino joined the conversation without being addressed directly first, caused everyone to stop what they were doing to look at him with shocked expression. Meanwhile, Shino continued to eat as if he had not done anything out of the ordinary. Eventually, the first to snap out of their stupor was Alfonzo, who began laughing uproariously. Not long afterwards, everyone other than Kiba began to laugh, too. 

 

Like that, the dinner went on in a, mostly, harmonious manner. However, the occasional bickering started between the academy kids every now and then. 

 

"Anyway, I wish you all good luck." Alfonzo said with a smile as he put his fork and knife down on the plate. A moment later, his expression hardened as he started leaking his magical pressure. "But if any of you fail... Hehehe..." 

 

That chuckle was enough to make everyone at the table, even those from Fairy Tail, who would not be taking the graduation exam, shudder. They could only imagine the punishment Alfonzo would put anyone who failed through. 

 

'I bet he'll make them ride in a vehicle without [Troia].' Wendy thought to herself while her shuddering intensified. Though, it seemed that she forgot that only Dragon Slayers would find something like that to be a serious punishment thanks to the fear Alfonzo's chuckle made her feel. 

 

With that, dinner ended and the academy kids left for their own homes. Even Naruto, who had been living in the house with Alfonzo and the others, had gone to his own apartment. 

 

Meanwhile, in a modest house somewhere in the village, a man, appearing to be in his late twenties with bluish-white, shoulder-length hair, green eyes, and wearing the standard Chunin attire of a Leaf Shinobi with is forehead protector worn like a bandana, sat in his living room with a sake cup in his hand and an open bottle of sake on the table in front of him. 

 

"Damn it!" the white-haired man, Mizuki, the physical education teacher for the graduating class of the Ninja Academy for the last six months, exclaimed angrily. In the next instant, Mizuki brought his sake cup to his lips and downed hits contents in one go. He then continued as he slammed his cup onto the table. "How the hell did that little monster improve so much? At this rate, my plan to get him killed by the Anbu is going to fail." 

 

*Bang!* 

 

Mizuki slammed his cup onto the table so hard that spiderweb like cracks appeared all over the surface of the table. Despite that, the sake in the bottle did not spill at all, even though it shook wildly. 

 

"I guess I'll have to use more drastic measures." Mizuki thought aloud. "There's no way he's experienced enough to notice a [Genjutsu] being cast on him when he's not prepared. That should be more than enough to make him fail the exam. Then, my plan will have no more obstacles. And if he somehow manages to obtain the Scroll of Seals, I'll have the perfect gift for when I join Lord Orochimaru. Hahahaha!" 

 

As Mizuki laughed manically, he picked up the bottle of sake to pour another cup for himself. However, as soon as he did, the table crumbled into small pieces. Still, that did not stop Mizuki's laughter. 

 

The next day, the people at the temporary residence started their day like any other. And just like any other day, Alfonzo had his [Magic Power Detection] active. Since he had help train the Rookie 9, he wanted to make sure they did well on their graduation exam. And although he would not be able to see them with his own eyes, he could tell what they were doing based on the way their magic power moved. 

 

Like that, with Kakashi and Miyuki accompanying him, Alfonzo continued to work on the training grounds at a steady pace. 

 

"Oh, by the way." Kakashi said with his nose buried in his little orange book. "This will be the last day I come with you on your job." 

 

Hearing that, Alfonzo glanced at Kakashi for a moment. But he quickly returned to his work. 

 

"Does that mean you're gonna be a Jōnin-Sensei, like Guy?" Alfonzo asked nonchalantly. 

 

"*Sigh* My instinctive reaction is to ask how you knew that." Kakashi said in a downcast tone. "But considering how intelligent you are, it was probably easy to figure out." 

 

"Yeah, I mean, the Class of x788 is graduating today and now you tell me you're not gonna be showing up anymore the same day. It's kinda obvious." 

 

"Yeah, I thought you would say that." Kakashi replied, still not looking up from his book. "I'm really gonna miss this mission. It was the easiest mission I've ever taken. I'm basically getting paid to read my book all day long. *Sigh* This was my own personal piece of heaven." 

 

"Even more surprising than that, you weren't late even once." Alfonzo said with a cheeky grin. "According to Guy... and every other Jōnin I've spoken to since I started this job, you're at least two hours late to everywhere and everything." 

 

"*sigh* That doesn't apply to missions." Kakashi replied while shaking his head. "That kinda thing could cost people their lives." 

 

"I guess that makes sense." Alfonzo replied with a nod. 

 

At that moment, Alfonzo froze. Then, his expression turned into something fierce as his magic power started washing over the area. Naturally, both Kakashi and Miyuki were taken aback by this action while Kakashi adopted a defensive stance. 

 

"That son of a bitch." Alfonzo growled in anger. 

 

"Master Alfonzo, is something the matter?" Miyuki asked in a concerned tone. 

 

"Yeah, I hope you have a good reason for that little display, because the Anbu are gonna be here any minute now." Kakashi added. 

 

"Someone's trying to..." Alfonzo began to say before trailing off. 

 

A moment later, Alfonzo retracted his magic power and put on a big, wide smile. It was clear whatever angered him had turned for the better. 

 

"Miyuki, you should go back to the house." Alfonzo said before either of his companions could speak. "I'll tell you what happened after I go see the Hokage." 

 

"Understood." Miyuki replied while curtseying politely. 

 

Then, without another word, Miyuki followed Alfonzo's instructions and left Training Ground 40 to head back to their temporary residence. At the same time, Alfonzo turned his attention to Kakashi. 

 

"Let's go, Kakashi." Alfonzo said, his expression turning solemn. "What I've got to tell the Hokage, I'm sure he's not gonna like it." 

 

With that, Alfonzo vanished from where he stood in a burst of speed. At the same time, Kakashi put away his little book before doing the same. 

 

Going back a few minutes, Naruto's class had already completed two-thirds of their graduation exam. Meaning, both the written portion and the physical portion were over. Now, the students who managed to pass both portions of the exam were waiting for their turns to take the final part of the exam, Jutsu mastery. 

 

Already, more than half of the remaining students had taken the test, which was to perform the [Clone Jutsu] to an acceptable level in front of Iruka and Mizuki. And since each student only needed to perform one [Ninjutsu], the turns were passing quickly. 

 

"I'm really nervous." Hinata said with her hands clasped in front of her chest. 

 

"Don't worry, Hinata." Naruto said with a big smile. "I'm sure you'll do fine. You have the best magic power control of all of us. So, there's no way you'll fail." 

 

"Hmph! The only one who has a possibility of failing is you, Loser." Sasuke said snidely. 

 

"What did you say?" Naruto asked in an irritated tone. "Don't think you're better than me, Sasuke." 

 

"Hmph!" Sasuke only snorted disinterestedly in reply. 

 

Then, just as Naruto was about to continue the argument... 

 

"Sasuke Uchiha, you're up next." Iruka's voice sounded from the next room over. 

 

Without another word to Naruto, Sasuke stood up and walked into the room. However, before he stepped through the door, he looked back at Naruto and sneered. After that, he stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. 

 

"Ahh! That guy is so irritating.!" Naruto shouted angrily. 

 

Like that, time passed as the aspiring shinobi were called into the testing room one by one. Finally, as the last name was called, Naruto walked toward the door to enter the testing room. 

 

"Naruto, are you ready?" Iruka, a brown-haired man of average height and build with his hair tied up in a pony tail, black eyes, and a horizontal scar across the bridge of his nose wearing the standard Leaf Chunin attire, asked with a friendly smile while sitting next to Mizuki, who was also wearing a friendly smile, though Mizuki's was as fake as could be. 

 

"Yes." Naruto replied with a determined nod. 

 

"Good." Iruka replied with a nod. "Then, please perform the [Clone Jutsu]. To receive a passing mark, you'll need to create at least three [Clones]." 

 

"Alright! Here I go!" Naruto said as he gently flared his magic power and put his hands together in a ram seal. 

 

'Now's the time.' Mizuki thought to himself as he stealthily made a series of hand signs. 

 

In the next instant, Mizuki's magic power stealthily approached Naruto while he was kneading his magic power. Then, it infiltrated the young Jinchuriki's magic power network, warping his perception. As a result, he began using a lot less magic power than needed to perform the [Clone Jutsu]. 

 

["Naruto, that silver-haired one is using [Genjutsu]."] The deep, ghastly voice of a demon, Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox, said from inside Naruto's mindscape. 

 

'What? Seriously? But why?' Naruto asked internally. 

 

["It looks like he wants to make you fail this childish exam."] Kurama replied. ["I have no idea why, though. Nor can I be bothered to care. But I'm dispelling it."] 

 

In the next instant, Kurama used his magic power to disrupt the flow of Naruto's, as a result, the [Genjutsu] affecting Naruto's senses was dispelled. On top of that, as a backlash, Mizuki coughed up a small amount of blood. 

 

"[Clone Jutsu]." Naruto chanted at the same time Mizuki coughed. 

 

In the next instant, the entire room was filled with illusionary clones of Naruto. To make sure he became a Genin, he needed to make sure that he passed the exam, after all. Getting payback on Mizuki, who tried to make him fail the test could wait until his passing grade was secured. 

 

"Mizuki, are you okay?" Iruka asked a moment later, having noticed Mizuki's coughing fit. However, before he could do anything to help Mizuki, he caught sight of all the Naruto [Clones] and froze in his seat. 

 

"How dare you!" Naruto shouted angrily, breaking Iruka out of his daze. 

 

Naruto's shout caused Iruka to turn his head in the young blond ninja's direction. And when he did, he was thoroughly shocked. Because instead of Naruto's bright blue eyes, Naruto's eyes were currently glowing red with slitted, beast-like pupils. On top of that, he was charging at Mizuki much faster than Iruka had ever seen him move in the time that he had been his teacher. 

 

"Naruto, stop!" Iruka shouted as Naruto grabbed Mizuki by his collar. 

 

Hearing Iruka's shout, Naruto, who had reeled his fist back to punch Mizuki in the face, came to a stop. Then, he looked at Iruka with an aggrieved expression. 

 

"But Iruka-Sensei, he tried to put me under a [Genjutsu] to make me fail the exam!" Naruto shouted angrily. 

 

"What? That's impossible!" Iruka shouted in disbelief. 

 

Then, Iruka shifted his gaze to Mizuki. However, instead of seeing the expression of a wrongfully accused man, he saw one filled with malevolence. 

 

"Mizuki…" Iruka muttered, once again in disbelief. 

 

"Tch! How could someone like you possibly break my [Genjutsu]?" Mizuki asked, not even trying to hide his guilt. "There's no way a monster like you could have done that on your own. So, who is it? Who's helping you? I'll kill them for ruining my plans!" 

 

Hearing that, both Naruto and Iruka were dumbfounded. Neither of them expected Mizuki to give himself away so easily. Unfortunately, that was what Mizuki was aiming for. 

 

"No matter, if I kill you then escape, Lord Orochimaru will still accept me by his side!" Mizuki shouted as he quickly pulled a kunai from his weapon holster. 

 

Then, with all the strength he could muster, Mizuki stabbed his kunai at Naruto's heart from a range that was too close to dodge. 

 

"Naruto! NO!" Iruka shouted in panic as he lunged at Mizuki. 

 

Before the kunai could hit its mark, however, Naruto was covered in an ominous red magic power that stopped the kunai in its tracks. Then, with that magic power still coating his entire body, Naruto threw a devastating right hook that landed on Mizuki's jaw, knocking him unconscious. 

 

"I don't know why you hate me so much, Mizuki-Sensei." Naruto said in a grim tone. Then, he looked down at himself. More specifically, at the red magic power he was cloaked in as he continued. "No, I guess I do. But that doesn't matter right now. You tried to destroy my dream of becoming Hokage. And for that, I will never forgive you." 

 

With that, Naruto released Mizuki, letting the traitorous Chunin's body fall to the floor while simultaneously retracting the red magic power back into his body. 

 

Not long later, the room was flooded by Anbu. Having recognized the the Nine-Tailed Fox's magic power, they came quickly to contain Naruto, thinking he had lost control of the beast. But when they arrived, they weren't sure what to make of the situation. 

 

Currently, Naruto was jumping for joy with a shinobi forehead protector gripped tightly in his hands, Iruka was watching Naruto with a proud smile, and Mizuki was unconscious and tied up on the floor in the corner of the room.
