In a location near the ninja academy,
Mizuki was walking through the village streets in a suspicious manner. It seemed like he was searching for something or someone. He stopped and spotted a boy with blond hair and orange clothing.
He walked up to the boy and called out to him.
"Naruto, Naruto, wait." Waving his hand, Mizuki called out to Naruto, who turned around to see who was calling him.
"Oh, it's you, Mizuki-sensei. What do you need?" Naruto asked.
"Sure, Naruto. How about we grab a bite to eat? I want to talk to you while we eat," Mizuki suggested, knowing that Naruto would hardly refuse.
"Sure thing, Mizuki-sensei. You came at the right time. I was really hungry, and I was thinking of eating before heading to Kaito's house," Naruto said, rubbing his belly and smiling.
The two of them walked to Ichiraku Ramen, and once they got there, Mizuki started talking to Naruto.
"Naruto, what do you think about impressing Iruka and your friend? If you want, I can tell you how to do it," Mizuki asked in a hushed tone.
"Hmm, how, Mizuki-sensei?" Naruto asked, thinking, "If I can learn something good, I can show it to Kaito when we're training."
"It's simple, Naruto. You just need to get something for me," Mizuki said with a smile.
...
Some time later, at Kaito's house,
"Hmm, Naruto is taking a long time today. Maybe he's not coming to train? Or maybe I should go look for him," Kaito thought as he practiced his water ninjutsu.
Forming the hand signs, Kaito unleashed five water bullets that pierced a training dummy at different points. Then, he formed four water shuriken, which were also thrown at the dummy with precision.
The dummy's body was covered in cuts and holes, with no part remaining intact. Kaito wiped the sweat from his face and decided to go look for Naruto.
...
In another part of the village,
"Iruka-sensei, wake up!" Mizuki knocked on his door while calling out.
"Hey, Mizuki, what's going on?" Iruka asked as he quickly opened the door.
"Naruto stole the Forbidden Scroll, and the Hokage is summoning you," Mizuki said, waiting for Iruka's reaction.
"He stole the Forbidden Scroll? How did he manage that?" Despite asking the question, Iruka rushed to where the Hokage was, with Mizuki following him.
Upon arriving at the location, many ninja had already gathered, all giving their opinions.
However, the Hokage spoke without considering their opinions.
"I want you to find the scroll and bring Naruto and the scroll back. Dismissed." As soon as the Hokage spoke, all the ninjas disappeared to search for Naruto.
'Hmm, he must have had some help to get in and take the scroll.' Hiruzen thought while stroking his beard.
...
Iruka and the other ninjas searched the entire village but had no success.
While Iruka was looking for Naruto, he spotted Kaito and decided to ask him if he had seen Naruto.
"Kaito, have you seen Naruto recently?" Iruka suddenly appeared in front of Kaito, asking right away.
Kaito was startled by someone suddenly standing in front of him, but he relaxed once he saw who it was and heard the question.
"No, Iruka-sensei, I was waiting for him at home to continue training, but he didn't show up. So, I decided to look for him too. But why do you ask, Professor?" Kaito inquired.
Iruka hesitated for a moment but then replied, "He stole a Forbidden Scroll."
Kaito's expression changed, as he never expected the story to follow the same path as the anime. But since Iruka was here, Naruto might be in danger.
Without wasting any time, Kaito mentioned that he knew a place where Naruto might be and rushed into the forest.
Iruka followed without hesitation.
...
Iruka stood in front of Naruto, who was reading the scroll.
"Naruto, give me the scroll. There are a lot of people chasing after you," Iruka told Naruto.
"Hey, Iruka-sensei, I learned something cool. Want me to show you?" Naruto scratched his head.
Mizuki put his hand on his back, where a giant shuriken was located, and when Naruto was distracted, he threw it at him.
Naruto didn't have time to dodge and closed his eyes in fear. Despite the sound of dripping, he didn't feel any pain. When he opened his eyes, Iruka was in front of him, protecting him with his body.
Look, if it isn't Iruka-sensei. It surprises me that you'd use your body to protect a monster like him," Mizuki began to speak to Iruka-sensei as he reached for another shuriken.
"What are you talking about, Mizuki? Naruto isn't a monster. The only monster here is you, Mizuki," Iruka shouted at Mizuki while urging Naruto to leave and preparing to react.
"Don't you remember, Iruka-sensei, that day when many died, and the culprit is right in front of you? Are you going to protect him?" Mizuki spoke as he prepared to attack again.
Iruka pondered for a moment about that fateful day but quickly pushed his thoughts aside.
What Iruka didn't expect was that while he was distracted, Naruto was already in front of him.
"Don't worry, Iruka-sensei, I'll protect you," Naruto said while raising his thumb in a thumbs-up sign.
Mizuki didn't wait any longer and threw his shuriken at Naruto, who made a hand sign, and hundreds of clones appeared. Without delay, they all used the Wind Release: wind pressure, spewing a powerful gust of wind.
With the jutsu's pressure at its maximum, one would be thrown in one direction, but with hundreds of them and a very strong chakra output, Mizuki wasn't just thrown but crushed. Intense winds went in all directions, uprooting trees.
All that was left was Mizuki lying on the ground, unable to muster any strength to get up.
Kaito arrived at this moment; it took him longer to get there because he wasn't as fast as Iruka. He ended up lagging behind but still arrived in the midst of the battle and saw a lot of trees uprooted. He was impressed at how a Grade E jutsu had transformed into this.
Sitting in a tree, Kaito assessed the situation; everything seemed to be going well.
'Thank goodness, the canon got a bit distorted, but Naruto is fine. I have to be careful with my changes; I need to get stronger. I don't care about the timeline, but I need strength for this, at least Naruto is much stronger.' Kaito thought as he looked at Naruto, who also noticed him.
Naruto got distracted by Kaito's arrival and didn't notice that Miz
uki's "body" had turned into a log.
Kaito noticed this and quickly located Mizuki on a tree about 20 meters away. He was somewhat injured but still ready to attack.
"Multiple Water Bullet Jutsu." Forming the hand sign, Kaito spat out five consecutive water bullets that headed towards Mizuki, who, unprepared for this, took the bullets directly. Five holes appeared in Mizuki's body as he fell from the tree where he had been. His physical condition was uncertain.
"Well, Kaito, you defeated him in a single strike," Naruto said in surprise.
"I'm surprised too, Naruto. Look what your jutsu did. I only defeated a wounded dog," Kaito said as he approached Naruto.
Afterward, Kaito ran to help Iruka-sensei, along with Naruto.
The other ninjas soon arrived at the scene, thanks to the commotion Naruto had caused. They quickly attended to Iruka and took him to the hospital.
...
In the Hokage's office,
Kaito and Naruto stood before the Hokage. After the other ninjas arrived, Iruka explained what had happened and how Mizuki had manipulated Naruto.
"Well, Naruto, it's true that Mizuki manipulated you, but you still stole a Forbidden Scroll," Hiruzen said while looking at Naruto, scratching his head, and sighing.
"Let's put that aside since everything turned out fine. But, Kaito, you and Naruto have already learned ninjutsu and used them quite proficiently. Congratulations, your father must be teaching you both well," the Hokage commented as he looked at Kaito.
"I've been training hard, Hokage-sama. I want to become a strong ninja to protect the village and my family," Kaito said as he looked at the Hokage.
"I hope you both continue working hard. You young ones are the future of Konoha. I see determination in your eyes. Well, you're both dismissed, and don't dwell too much on what happened today."
Kaito and Naruto nodded and left the Hokage's office.
"That old man is so boring. If he hadn't let me go, I would have taught him a lesson with my new Sexy Harem Jutsu," Naruto said indignantly.
"I believe you, Naruto. I'm sure your Harem Jutsu would have taken the old man by surprise," Kaito said, recalling a scene that had happened in the anime. "Anyway, I'll see you later."
The two of them said their goodbyes and went to their respective homes. It had been a tiring day, so they decided to rest.
