Chapter 5: Awakening

Naruto Uzumaki "Future Hero"

----------------------------------

Naruto had finally got done with trying to train through with the scroll. The thing is...That scroll was a massive pain in the ass. Even through training for nearly 5 hours, Naruto wasn't very tired but was still annoyed that throughout all this time spent looking through the massive amounts of jutsu on the list, he could only get 2 down. He had gotten the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu down as well as a strange jutsu known as "Unahanabira" which he wasn't familiar with considering It used none of the main elements, but instead used something known as "Void Style" a style that very few were have known to have in history, and was essentially extinct at this point. Naruto himself didn't even know how he came to understand the technique, but it was far easier then pretty much everything else that was on it, and It was also a damn unique jutsu in his opinion, Even if he didn't have full knowledge of it. Naruto heard rustling in the trees as he fell on the floor in shock from the sudden noise.

"Who's-...Whose there!" Naruto called out scared in fear from being caught by a ninja who might have a particular grudge with him.

"Hey Naruto! Didn't think you'd cause this much of a mess! The voice called out

"Mizuki-sensei!...Oh...yeah I did kind of cause a mess around here with what I was trying to do."

"Looks like you really worked hard! I'm impressed! Looks like you've got the heart of a ninja but do you have the particular skill to become one? Mizuki questioned.

"For sure Mizuki-sensei! I've gotten something even better then just a bunshin! Haha! Naruto said happily

"Oh? you do? Well why not show it to me? The Exams ended nearly an hour ago but of course I made an exception for you, so why not show me that little special technique of yours...

"Well..uh...can we do it at the academy? I don't think it'd be best to do it all the way out here with just us two.

"The forest is more wide and allows for better use for whatever you've got, With how it sounds this might be too big for something like the academy Naruto."

And with my luck, That technique will probably drain your chakra to the point where I can kill you with no issue!...

"Alright Mizuki-sensei...Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

A full bunshin appeared to Naruto's right.

"Hell yeah! I did it Mizuki-sensei!" Both Naruto and the bunshin said

He didn't do a regular bunshin no...He made a full kage bunshin! Damn this demon brat! I have to take care of him now!

Impressive Naruto! With that type of technique under your belt you'll surely pass! How about we start heading out.

The Kage bunshin was dispelled as Naruto replied back

"Alright then Mizuki-sensei! as he turned his back and started walking away with a wide grin on his face. "Can we also stop by for some ramen too? that'd be nice!"

"Sure Naruto...ramen it is..." Mizuki said in a dark tone as he pulled out his kunai and threw it at the boy's back. The kunai didn't travel far though as it was deflected by another kunai!

"Huh?! Who's there!" Mizuki called out which in return made Naruto turn around in suprise as he saw who came out of the bushes.

"Iruka-sensei? What are you doing out here?" Naruto said shocked.

"Looks like I made it in time! Mizuki what the hell are you doing! Why did you throw that kunai at Naruto! Iruka said angrily

Naruto looked suprised and hurt. "Mizuki-sensei threw a kunai at me?...but why?...why Mizuki-sensei?"

Mizuki simply started laughing maniacally.

"Why...you...ask? because you brat...I've wanted to end your life this whole time! your mere presence aches my soul and I would enjoy seeing you dead at my feet!

"Mizuki...-sensei?..." Naruto said in complete shock and confusion.

"Naruto! get back! he's aiming for y-"

Iruka couldn't finish his sentence as several kunai came from not just Mizuki, but from the bushes as well! Iruka was able to deflect a few but ended up being stabbed throughout his body taking the hits meant for Naruto as he coughed out blood while putting one knee down onto the floor.

"Damn it...so it wasn't just you huh?...you had to get 2 other ninja's to help you with this damn plan!..." He coughed out angrily. Poor Naruto could not comprehend anything going on right now and looked completely paralyzed.

"It is a shame Iruka...If you hadn't been an idiot and actually remembered for a second that this boy is just a plain old demon, maybe you'd realize that he need's to be dealt with." Mizuki said with a sadistic glee.

"You...you hurt Iruka-sensei!..." Naruto shouted out loud.

"No shit you demon...what...did you think the blood was some sort of special effect? come on now I thought a demon like you was already well aware of blood and what not..." Mizuki said in a condescending tone.

"I'm no demon! If anything you're the demon here!" Naruto screamed out

"Oh yes...I forgot...you're not aware of why you are called a demon Naruto...well I guess I'll tell you since you're going to die here anyways.

Naruto eye's then widened. There was a reason why he was called those demeaning name all the time?!

"No...Mizuki!...Don't do it!..." Iruka said with a sudden energy resurgence.

"See...Naruto...the reason you are called demon is because-"

"NO YOU BASTARD! YOU WON'T SAY A DAMN THING!" Iruka screamed out loud as he charged Mizuki with a kunai in hand. Mizuki took notice of what Iruka was doing but wasn't going to be able to react in time, as he suddenly stopped speaking and widened his eyes in fear for his impending doom. Suddenly, the other two chunin's with Mizuki got in front of Iruka as they both stabbed in the left and right side of his chest respectively as Mizuki was backed up on a tree staring directly at Iruka's eyes.

"Heh...too slow you demon-follower..." Mizuki said happily as Iruka's body began to fall in Mizuki's direction, Mizuki moved out of the way as Iruka landed on the tree and fell to it's stump, essentially lying down with his head on it.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THIS IS GREAT! YOU'RE FINALLY DEAD YOU SCUM! I'VE WAITED YEARS FOR THIS! I'VE NEVER FELT SO HAPPY IN MY GOD DAMN LIFE! NOT EVEN MY LOVER COULD PLEASE ME LIKE THIS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Mizuki screamed out insanely.

Naruto was in complete shock as he stared at Iruka's body...Tears gathered up in his eyes as his vision narrowed, only seeing the body of Iruka in his mind. Someone that shouldn't have died, someone's death that could have been avoided, a death that was completely unnecessary and avoidable had he not been so stupid...

"Iruka...sensei..." Naruto said with tears going down his cheek

Suddenly, Mizuki started kicking Iruka's body as he continued his maniacal laugh, he spat out the worst of the worst, defiling his body with everything he could do.

Naruto's anger begin to kick in over his sadness as he grit his teeth, his power growing from his anger. Mizuki turned around as he noticed that the demon brat was still there and was sad about his teacher's death. Quite pathetic that it even found a way to form a bond, but then again, Iruka was always a complete fool so it was to be expected.

"You...YOU KILLED IRUKA-SENSEI!" Naruto screamed out angrily.

"Actually you brat It was my fellow comrades that did it...It's not my fault he wanted to protect a worthless idiot like you..." He said with a wide grin on his face.

"Shut up...Just shut up JUST SHUT UP!" Naruto began to pound the ground furiously with his feet which surprisingly caused somewhat of a mini-quake.

"I'll deal with the boy...you two stand back..." Mizuki said in a commanding tone as he pulled out a kunai and charged at Naruto.

There's no way he'll dodge this, his anger is getting the best of him... Mizuki thought to himself.

"SAY GOODBYE YOU BRAT!" Mizuki shouted out

"Void Style: Unahanabira" Naruto whispered to himself.

Mizuki's attack failed as it seemed to hit an invisible wall in front of him. Mizuki and his 2 chunin friends were in utter shock as they saw what appeared to be a purple ripple of something that covered Naruto which was also completely invisible.

"What the! What the hell is this crap! Mizuki said out loud as he backed up to where his friends were.

"No time to waste...I'll deal with these guys now! For Iruka-sensei!"

"Kage bunshin no-" Naruto didn't finish the Jutsu as a sharp and stabbing pain picked up in his head as he fell to the ground on one knee and in sheer pain.

"Damn it! Was it because I used Void style? or because It was my first time? Either way...It's so damn painful! I feel like my head is going to explode!...

Use me

"Huh? what the?"

If you don't use me...You will die...

"Who...are you?...

I'd assume you'd know me...We've already had two interaction's prior to this...

"We have?...wait...you're the...CHAINS?!"

"Indeed I am, I am the-

"HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE! HOW CAN...CHAIN'S BE TALKING TO ME!"

"Not enough time to explain right now...We must form a contract if you wish to survive."

"A...A Contract?"

"Yes. With the formation of the contract I will become your sole wielder and your protector. Of course, You'll still have to carry me once a day until you are eventually accustomed to me, but with the contract I will always be by your side and protect you.

"DAMN DEMON BRAT! IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO DIE!" Mizuki screamed out loud as him and his 2 chunin friends jumped up, kunai's in hand and ready to kill.

Repeat after me...

I vow to thee

"I vow to thee"

thee must accept the price of suffering

"thee must accept the price of suffering"

thou must accept the price of power

"thou must accept the price of power"

"thou must accept their fate and destiny

"thou must accept their fate and destiny"

breaketh forth so thy can spread your wings!

"breaketh forth so thy can spread your wings!"

"A contract from one to the other...does thou accept...the power and consequences that comes forth?!

I accept your contract...

We have become one...now end these 3 fools...

IT'S TIME TO DIE YOU FOOL! YOUR PRAYERS MEAN NOTHING! Mizuki screamed out.

"Come forth..." Naruto whispered out

"Sora no Kusari!" (Chains of the Sky)

Naruto extened his palm's, as chain's came out from both, as well as a chain coming out of his head.

"WHAT-" Mizuki couldn't even finish as the chain went directly through his head alongside the other's two's head's as well, There head's were crushed like nothing...blood dripping down as they fell from the chain's which retracted back into Naruto. Naruto simply stared at the bodies and the pure carnage that occurred here in just a brief amount of time.

"Naruto..." A voice called out hoarsely.

Naruto noticed that it was Iruka-sensei! he sounded near-death and was without a doubt pushing himself to live in his current state.

"IRUKA-SENSEI!" Naruto shouted out as tears began pooling in his eye's once again while he ran to Iruka who was laying down on the tree.

"Nar...uto...You have...great potential...I can see it...you'll make a fine shinobi..."

He failed to protect Iruka.

"Do not judge your self or your character...from an...event...like this...It was my fault...not your's...don't...torture yourself..." He essentially whispered out.

How could he protect a village if he couldn't protect one person.

"Naruto...you'll be the greatest...shinobi...to ever live...I can see it...You've made...me...proud... "He was getting colder.

If he couldn't protect, He had no business calling himself a hero.

"Hey...Naruto..."

"Yes?...Iruka-Sensei?..." Said with tears flowing down...

"You passed the exam...Your achievement here was far greater then anything within the test's...I am...proud of...you..." Iruka said as he closed his eye's.

"Thank's...Iruka Sensei..." As he wiped the tears with his hand...

Iruka did not respond... he was no longer of this world.

"Hey...Iruka-sensei..."

"Iruka-sensei..."

"IRUKA-SENSEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII"

JUTSU:

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu: This jutsu allows the user to create one or more copies of themselves. The user's chakra is evenly divided between themselves and their clones: creating one clone will give it half the user's chakra, creating two clones will give each a third of the user's chakra, and so on. Depending on how much chakra the user has and how many clones they make, this rapid depletion of their reserves can be dangerous. Because of this, usually only those of at least jōnin-level or are Naruto. can safely use the standard Shadow Clone Technique.
