Naruto Pov
I woke up and started to get ready for the academy. Today was the day that I finally became a genin. I waited for Sasuke outside so we could walk together. He just gave me a nod of his head, and we started to walk to the academy. We entered, and everyone was looking at us, or more specifically, All the girls were looking at Sasuke, who just ignored them and sat down in his seat. I was about to sit down when I felt someone staring at me. It was Hinata Hyuga. I knew she had a crush on me ever since and Sasuke saved her from being kidnapped. I just looked back at her and she turned away with a blush. I got to my seat, and I was going to maybe get a little bit of a nap, but then I heard Sakura and Ino fighting over Sasuke's seat again. Iruka then walked in and told them to sit down. Iruka then told the class to quiet down and explained that today we will become genin and then he did a whole boring speech.
I waited till my name was called, and then I heard them call me. I went up and performed the three academy jutsu and got my head, and then I went back to my seat. I then heard Kiba say " I am surprised you passed the test. I guess they let anyone become genin." I just sat down and ignored him and went back to my seat. If I wanted to, I could probably be the first in the class, but I decided to hide my strength until I became a genius. I decided to become the dead last because I didn't want too much attention. It would make everything harder if they knew I was smart. So I waited until the day was over and was about to leave, but then Iruka stopped me and congratulated me. He said, " Naruto, you passed. I honestly didn't think you would pass, but I guess I was wrong. How did you learn the shadow clone jutsu?" I told him that I learned it from Fugaku. It was a present he gave to me for my birthday.
I then said Bye to him and started to leave and walk home. I saw Sasuke running for his life as a mob of girls were chasing him. Then I overheard a conversation. It was Mizuki talking to a kid who failed. I was about to ignore it, but then I heard Mizuki mention the scroll of sealing. At that point, I knew Mizuki was planning something bad. I listened in and heard him telling the kid that there was another way to pass and it was by stealing the scroll. I knew it was a lie there was no way that the Hokage would allow that to happen. So I went home and got ready to confront Mizuki. I wanted to test my skills against him to see where I stood in the ninja world.
I waited where Mizuki told the kid to meet him and I got ready to fight. I saw the kid with the scroll. I was surprised; I didn't think he would succeed. I thought the Ambu would catch him pretty easily or the Hokage, but I guess they let him, or he got extremely lucky. The kid threw Mizuki the scroll but before he could catch it. I caught it and I told him that trying to steal the scroll could get you in big trouble. I told the kid to run away with the scroll and give it back to the Hokage and tell him that Mizuki tricked you into stealing it.
I then looked at Mizuki and told him that he was not leaving here. Then Mizuki Started to laugh and say, " It is my lucky day. I get the scroll of sealing, and I get to kill the demon brat." He then smiled. Do you know what you are? Why do the villagers hate you so much? Well, I can answer it because you are the Nine-Tails fox. You are responsible for killing many people and tearing apart the families. You are nothing but a monster. I then started to break down in tears and told him I was not a monster. He smiled and said, "Now I am going to kill you and finish what the fourth started. He got out his big shuriken and was about to throw It, but then he dodged a kunai barley, and by surprise, he said, "Why aren't you angry? I told you that everyone in the village hates you. Why are you trying to protect them?" I then told him that I already knew that I was the Nine-Tails. I was born on the day of the Nine-Tails attack and they call me a demon. It was pretty easy to figure it out. I then started to engage him in hand-to-hand combat. I was winning. I countered all his moves with deadly precision and I knocked him out with well-placed punches. I left him for Ambu and went home. I thought he would put up more of a fight, but I guess he was not that strong.
