It was now time for the graduation and all the students were sitting quietly in their seat, Iruka sensei step into the classroom gaining the attention of the students.
"for the Final test of the graduation you will have to perform the clone jutsu ", Iruka sensei informed.
"( damn that is my worst jutsu )", Naruto groan.
"( this is bad, it's really really bad )", Ashura thought.
***
Ashura step into the graduation room and Iruka sensei was sitting there, his assistant was sitting beside him.
"OK Ashura, show us the clone jutsu ", Iruka sensei said.
Ashura breathe out and slowly made a hand seal,"( you can do this Ashura, you can )", Ashura said to himself.
"( c'mon Ashura, you can do it )", Iruka sensei said to himself.
"clone jutsu.. ", Ashura yelled.
"ugh ", Iruka sensei's eyes grew wide.
"ugh ", Ashura was shocked, the exact copy of his clothes were on the ground.
"am so disappointed, you failed ", Iruka sensei said unpleasantly and Ashura slowly drop his head and walk out.
***
"I graduated, mom they called me first ", the kids were showing their head band to their parents.
"I'm so proud of you ", the parents were all commenting, Naruto was sitting on a swing and Ashura was leaning against the tree.
"look at them ", a woman said.
"yeah, I heard they're the only ones who didn't graduate ", the other one said.
"I wonder what would have happened if they graduated ".
"mm, since they are... ".
"shhh, we're not allowed to say anything about that remember? ".
Ashura and Naruto were sitting quietly not wanting to say anything, they sense a third person next to them and they turned to look at it, it happens to be there teacher, Iruka sensei assistant.
***
On a rooftop was the teacher and the Uzumaki brothers, "it's not like Iruka sensei hate you guys, he's only trying to make you guys stronger and there's no way that's going to happen if he goes easy on you guys, Iruka is just like you, he doesn't have any parent, you guys should be happy you got each other ", he said to them.
"I really wants to graduate this time ", Naruto said in a sad voice.
"I don't think we'll be able to make our dreams come true ", Ashura was looking down at his thing.
"mmm, in that case, I guess I will have to tell you ", the teacher said with a small smile.
"ugh ", both Ashura and Naruto turn to him.
"it a secret but I'll let you in on it ", the teacher said.
***
Iruka sensei was laying on his bed with his hand underneath his head and he was staring at the ceiling.
( flash back )
"Iruka ", the old Hokage called.
"yes lord Hokage ", Iruka sensei answered.
"you know how Ashura and Naruto feels, there are alot like you, they grow up without knowing the love of a mother or father, that's why they do silly things for people to notice them ", the Hokage said.
( end of flash back )
"Iruka, Iruka, Iruka ", Iruka sensei was pulled out of his memory by a voice calling onto him, he ran out of his apartment and his assistant was standing in front of him.
"what is it Mizuki sensei? ", Iruka questioned.
"you need to get to the Hokage, it about Naruto and Ashura, they took the forbidden scroll ", Mizuki informed and Iruka's eyes grew wide.
"the forbidden scroll of deals?, you don't mean it ", Iruka sensei was surprised.
***
In the woods Ashura and Naruto were staring at a huge scroll, "the first one here is shadow clone jutsu", Naruto read out loud.
"ahh", Ashura groan and fell down flat when he heard about clone jutsu.
"damn, this is our worsts technique ", Naruto growl unhappily, "look the hand seal is different ", Naruto said and Ashura jump on his feet.
"yeah ", Ashura look deeper into the scroll, "( mmm, what's this, Teleportation jutsu, huh? )", Ashura scratched his cheek.
"c'mon let get to work ", Naruto said.
***
"lord Hokage this isn't just any kind of prank, that scroll contain forbidden jutsu left by the first Hokage, this village will be in grate danger if the scroll falls into the wrong hand ", the ninjas were angry.
"go get Ashura and Naruto, bring him here right away at once", the third Hokage ordered.
"yes sir ", the ninjas all leap away in extreme speed.
***
Some hours later Ashura and Naruto were breathing heavily from their training, someone walk closer to them and they look up at the person.
"I've got you now, heh heh heh heh ", Iruka sensei laugh, he was breathing heavily too, he has been looking all over the place for them.
"heh heh heh heh ", the twins copied Iruka sensei and laugh.
"you found us really quick, you are fast sensei ", Naruto laugh.
"when it comes to finding us Iruka sensei is the only one capable of doing so ", Ashura grin.
"so lucky for us, we were able to learn only one jutsu ", Naruto scratched behind his head.
"you're so sloppy whiskers, I was able to learn two ", Ashura show two of his fingers to Naruto.
"what.. that's a lie ", Naruto denied the fact that Ashura was able to learn two jutsu.
Iruka sensei was just watching the boys, "( they have been here training all this time?, they look worn out )".
"hey sensei I and Ashura will show you this wonderful jutsu and you will let us pass right, any one who learn a jutsu from this scroll pass, that's how it works right? ", Naruto ask.
"( I hope it's not against the rule to master more than one jutsu )", Ashura smiled shyly.
"ugh, who told you about that? ", Iruka sensei ask them.
"it was Mizuki sensei, believe it ", Naruto turn his back to Iruka.
"( Mizuki, you... )", Iruka didn't know his assistant would go that far.
"it true sensei, he's the one that told us where to get the scroll and this place too ", Ashura said truthfully, "( ugh ) ", Ashura gasp when he sense another energy.
"get back.. ", Iruka pushed Naruto into Ashura and they both clashes on the ground, Iruka sensei was struck by a few amount of kunai.
"it seemed like you found our little hideout...Iruka ", Mizuki sensei was standing on a tree branch.
"what's going on here? ", Naruto ask confused.
"what do you think you're doing sensei ", Ashura ask Mizuki.
"Mizuki ", Iruka growl.
"Naruto give me the scroll ", Mizuki demand.
"don't give him the scroll Naruto, Mizuki trick you guys into getting the scroll for himself ", Iruka yelled at them.
"don't listen to him Naruto, Iruka never like any of you, ever since the degree that happened twelve years ago, they have been keeping it a secret from you guys, your precious sensei will do everything to shut me up, everyone knows about it except for you and Ashura ", Mizuki said.
"what degree, why does everyone else knows about it? ", Ashura ask curiously.
"don't say it Mizuki, it's forbidden ", Iruka yelled.
"that the demon fox that destroyed our village twelve years ago is in your body, you are the nine tail fox Naruto, everyone knows but they don't know which of you is the fox spirit or the wolf spirit, that's why everyone hate you two ", Mizuki narrated.
Naruto was now having a look that could not be read, "( no, Mizuki sensei is only trying to trick us even more )", Ashura grit his teeth, "shut up, it all lies, the nine tail is not in my little brother ", Ashura yelled.
"look who's talking, the demon within your body is the ten tail wolf spirit, not even lord third know wants you to know ", Mizuki said and Ashura gasp in horror.
"no no no no no.. ", Naruto yelled releasing a huge amount of chakra that throw Ashura away.
"now die... nine tail fox ", Mizuki throw a huge shurikin blade at Naruto.
"( I have to save him )", Ashura instantly pick up a little rock and throw it after Naruto who was trying to crawl away from the huge shurikin blade, Ashura teleport over to the rock and use his body as a shield to protect his brother.
"Naruto... Ashura... get down.. ", Iruka sensei yelled, blood dropped on the twins who was now having wide eyes, above them was Iruka sensei, the huge shurikin blade was now hanging on Iruka sensei's back and he was bleeding through his mouth.
"Iruka sensei.. why? ", Naruto ask with fear in his eyes.
"it because, I was once like you, I have no parents or family, I was alone, I did silly stuff to make people see me, I was like the class clown, I should have been there for you guys, I failed ", Iruka sensei said with tears running down his face.
"( I-Iruka sensei )", Ashura was feeling for his sensei.
"fools ", Mizuki sensei laugh, "Iruka don't care about you, his parents are only dead because of the nine tail fox and the ten tail wolf, he don't want you to have the scroll, they are other ninjas out there looking for you two, Iruka want the scroll so he can take the award and title as the ninja who brought back their precious Hokage's scroll ", Mizuki rant out.
Naruto got up and ran off, "( damn, he might run into the others, I have to stop him )", Ashura took off after him.
"Naruto... Ashura...", Iruka yelled but they were gone.
"stop wasting your time Iruka, you know once they made their mind, nothing can change it, you saw the range in their eyes, those are the eyes of a monster, they will pour out all the range into the scroll and have vengeance on the leaf ", Mizuki smile.
Iruka pulled the shuriken blade out of his back and slowly push himself up, "no, they are not like that ", Iruka sensei angrily throw the shuriken back to Mizuki but due to the lost of strength he could not hit his target.
"mm, I'm going to look for them, I will be back for you ", Mizuki said and leap away.
"I.. won't.. let.. you ", Iruka growl.
***
In a room the Hokage was watching Naruto and Ashura through a sphere ball, "Mizuki has a big mouth, he made Naruto and Ashura feels sad, if they keep messing with the scroll the seal holding back the fox spirit and wolf spirit might get loose and things won't turn out well ", the Hokage sigh.
***
"Naruto you have to stop ", Ashura yelled, Naruto was leaping from trees to tree while Ashura was running really fast on the ground, "Iruka sensei and Mizuki sensei isn't the only ones here ", Ashura yelled again.
"Naruto.. ", Iruka sensei was leaping besides Naruto, "everything Mizuki said to you are all lies, you need to give me the scroll ", Iruka demand.
"( his energy, it doesn't looks like Iruka sensei )", Ashura was staring up at the teacher, "( ugh what the, Iruka sensei energy is nearby )", that's when Ashura realized that something was wrong, Naruto came from Iruka sensei's front and smash his head into his chest, they both crash down on the ground, "what the ", Ashura run into a tree and falls backwards, "damn my head ", he cried in pain.
"how did you know?, how did you know Naruto?, that I'm not Iruka? ", Iruka sensei ask before transforming back to Mizuki.
"heh heh heh heh ", Naruto laugh and transformed back to Iruka, "cuz I'm Iruka ".
Ashura slowly crawls over to Naruto who was hiding behind a tree, "shhh ", Naruto ask him to stay quiet and the red haired boy nod.
"why are you helping them Iruka?, they are the reason for your parents death, they are just like me ", Mizuki said.
"how's that? ", Iruka ask he was leaning against a tree weakly.
"don't you see, they want the scroll for themselves, just like me, and they will have their revenge against the leaf village, that's what monsters do ", Mizuki said.
"it's true, that's how monsters are ", Iruka agreed.
"( so I is true, Iruka sensei never believes in us, he thinks we're some kind of... freak )", Naruto's head drop down slowly.
"( I can't believe this, I and my brother are... monsters?, this must be the reason our parents abandon us )", Ashura slowly weep away the tears that escaped his eyes.
"but that's not who Ashura and Naruto are ", Iruka sensei said and the eyes of the twins snapped open, "it's true they always mess up all the time, but they don't let that stop them, they keep moving forward and do not give up, that is what differentiates them from being a monster ", tears was running down the twins faces while they were in their hiding place, "they are Ashura Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki of the village hidden in the leaf ".
"I was planning on killing you later, but I think I have to do it now ", mizuki was now spinning the huge shurikin blade.
"( so this is how it's going to end huh )", Iruka closed his eyes.
"die.. ", Mizuki yell, Naruto came out of nowhere and hit Mizuki away, the shuriken blade was heading for Iruka sensei but Ashura stop it by holding the ring of the blade and his other hand stop the spinning shurikin, blood was now oozing out of his palm.
"Iruka sensei are you alright? ", Ashura ask and he replied with a faint nod.
"if you ever lay a hand on my sensei... I will kill you ", Naruto snarled.
"such big words for a brat like you...".
"shut up... ", Ashura throw the shuriken back to Mizuki and Mizuki was able to dodged it but Ashura appeared next to the shuriken and kick Mizuki across the face.
"( no way, he was able to use the Teleportation jutsu )", Iruka was shocked.
"I can take you down with just one move ", Mizuki sensei growled.
"I will give it back to you in a thousand fold ", Naruto said after making a hand seal.
"show me all you got tail beasts ", Mizuki yelled furiously.
"multi shadow clone jutsu... ", cloud covering the entire forest, when it weep out a thousand copy of Naruto was now around Mizuki.
"what about I say two thousand fold?, multi shadow clone jutsu... ", Ashura yelled and a thousand copy of Ashura and Naruto were now two thousand.
"( no way, those are...solid clones, they aren't images, they have mastered an extremely advance technique )", Iruka sensei smile widely.
"hey over here, come get me, are you afraid? ", all the Naruto and all the Ashura were speaking from different angles.
"huh huh what happening? ", Mizuki was now wondering around like a lost puppy in the middle of the crowd.
"aren't you going to come after us? ", one of the Ashura ask evilly.
"then we will go after him ", one of the Naruto said and with that they all attack.
***
"heh heh, sorry we went too far ", Naruto grin.
"I guess we were carried away ", Ashura laugh.
"( mmm, I can't believe my eyes, I'm starting to believe that their dreams will come true )", Iruka was staring at them with a small smile on his face, "Naruto come over here I have something for you ", Iruka wave them over.
***
"you mean no one can find Naruto and Ashura?, that is insane, we have to smoke them out ", the ninjas that was sent to look for Naruto and Ashura were now in front of the Hokage's mansion, the third Hokage walk out and the ninjas turn to him, "look Hokage ".
"everything is going to be alright, the scroll is save, Ashura and Naruto will be back soon ", the Hokage said to them and they were quite confused.
***
"c'mon Iruka sensei, how long will it take? ", Naruto's eyes were closed.
"OK you can open your eyes ", Iruka sensei said and the blond obeyed, "congratulate you guys graduate ",
Iruka sensei said with a bright smile, his head band was now on Naruto's head.
"sensei look what I got ", Ashura showed them a plate, "I took it off of Mizuki sensei's head band, all I have to do now is look for a band and place the plate on it ", he smiled widely.
"why would you do that Ashura? ", Naruto ask is brother.
"it's the price I earn for taking down a traitor ", he said proudly.
"that's pretty nice, what about we go celebrate your graduation at ichiracu ramen noodles, what do you think? ", the boys were now quiet and it kind of bother Iruka sensei.
"Iruka sensei... ", they yelled in excitement and jump on him, they fall on the ground and started laughing.
