#5 - Chapter 5 I am a fox demon? So what?
After leaving the Hokage Residence, Naruto quickly headed towards the small cabin where Mizuki had been.
Mizuki, who had been closely watching the Hokage Residence, didn't see when Naruto left and was still anxiously waiting in place.
As time passed, just when he thought the plan had failed, he saw several Anbu members leaving in a hurry!
"Success?"
Mizuki didn't dare to delay and immediately returned home to wait.
Not long after he returned home, a ninja he knew came running to tell him that the Scroll of Seals had been stolen by Uzumaki Naruto!
It really worked!
But when did that kid Uzumaki Naruto succeed?
How come I didn't see him running out from inside?
Did he run out the back door?
Mizuki, filled with doubt, immediately woke up Iruka, who hadn't fallen asleep yet, and together they headed to the Hokage Residence.
Once he met the Third Hokage, he could openly look for Naruto, then kill him and take the Scroll of Seals for himself, without anyone suspecting him!
It was simply 'flawless'!
......
At this time, Naruto, under the power of the Yata Mirror, had already arrived at the cabin for a while.
He didn't know when Mizuki and Iruka would come looking for him, so he simply leaned against a tree and opened the Scroll of Seals!
Although he didn't understand ninjutsu at all, and self-study would definitely not work, there was no harm in taking a look.
What if he understood ninjutsu in the future?
Opening the first scroll, unsurprisingly, it was still the Shadow Clone Technique!
But apart from these few words, Naruto couldn't understand anything at all!
"Have I become illiterate?"
"But why can I understand other people's speech and communicate normally with Mizuki?"
"I'm not speaking Japanese either."
"Could it be that I've transmigrated into a Mandarin version?"
"But won't it be a problem if the writing and language are different?"
Naruto suddenly felt that this world was somewhat illusory and not so real.
And did he have to start learning the writing of this world from scratch, and then learn ninjutsu from scratch?
[Ding!]
"That's right, I still have a system!"
[Ding!]
[Master, please call me Xiao Ai!]
"Ahem, Xiao Ai, is there a way for me to learn the writing and ninjutsu of this world?"
[Of course, Master!]
[Just click on Xiao Ai Search to get what you want!]
"Xiao Ai Search?"
Naruto remembered that Xiao Ai had mentioned her skills when she first appeared.
Listening to music, watching movies, searching, chatting.
But what do searching and learning Japanese, learning ninjutsu have to do with each other?
Naruto opened this function with some skepticism, and then searched for learning Japanese.
"Japanese learning from zero basics to proficiency?"
"Do I have to learn it myself?"
[Yes, didn't Master ask if there was a way to learn the writing and ninjutsu of this world?]
"......"
"Then let me put it another way, is there a way for me to directly reach max level?"
[Of course, Master!]
"What way?"
[Complete Xiao Ai's missions!]
"Publish?"
[Not publishing!]
"......"
"Why?"
[Master will only get the second mission when you complete one mission~]
Naruto was speechless, closed the scroll and threw it aside.
Laying flat!
It's impossible to learn by himself!
Why learn by himself when he can reach max level?
[Yes, Master! Instead of wasting time studying by yourself, it's better to work hard to complete Xiao Ai's missions!]
[Master, Master, you're the best!]
[Master, Master, you're the strongest!]
"Xiao Ai."
[Yes!]
"Be quiet."
[Okay!]
Finally quiet, Naruto leaned against the tree but felt a little bored.
When will Iruka and Mizuki arrive?
"Xiao Ai, I remember you seem to be able to play music?"
[Yes, Master!]
"Play Blue Bird."
[Habala Idala......]
Listening to the music in his ear, Naruto felt a little novel.
Wouldn't he be able to bring his own BGM when he appears in the future?
However, after he asked Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai told him that this music could not be played externally, only he could hear it.
The Konoha BGM King died before he even appeared.
After waiting for a while.
Naruto finally saw someone running towards here in a hurry.
It was Umino Iruka!
It was clearly a secret location arranged by Mizuki, but Iruka was able to arrive before Mizuki.
If there was no 'expert' guidance, then it could only be said to be too coincidental!
"Hey, Naruto!"
Iruka walked up to Naruto, panting, his eyes full of resentment.
If he couldn't see Iruka's shadow, Naruto would have thought he had encountered a ghost.
"Good evening, Teacher Iruka." Naruto said calmly, looking at Iruka.
"What 'Good evening, Teacher Iruka'? Do you know how big of a thing you've done?" Iruka imitated Naruto's expressionless appearance and complained.
"Sorry, Teacher Mizuki told me that I could graduate if I learned the ninjutsu on this."
"Mizuki?"
Iruka looked incredulous, making it impossible to tell if his expression was genuine.
If Iruka was acting, then Naruto's acting skills compared to Iruka would be the difference between a dead extra and a movie star.
"Yeah, this scroll and this place were all told to me by Teacher Mizuki." Naruto said, selling out Mizuki.
"How could it be......"
Iruka seemed to be immersed in the matter of Mizuki's betrayal and couldn't accept it for a while.
At this moment, the sound of a kunai suddenly came from behind him. Sensing the danger, Iruka subconsciously pushed Naruto away,
And he himself was inevitably stabbed by the kunai because of the hasty response!
"I didn't expect you to be able to find this place, Iruka!" Mizuki, carrying ninja tools, squatted on the tree, looking at Iruka with a cold face.
"Mizuki, it really is you!" Iruka gasped for breath, looking at Mizuki, his eyes still filled with disbelief.
"Hmph!"
Mizuki glanced at Iruka and ignored him.
He didn't forget what the most important thing in his plan today was!
"Naruto, hand over the scroll!" Mizuki stood up and looked at Naruto coldly.
"Naruto, even if you die, you can't hand over the scroll!"
Iruka pulled out the kunai inserted in his right leg, gasping for breath, "That's a dangerous thing sealed because it contains forbidden ninjutsu!"
"Mizuki is using you to get this!"
Mizuki looked at Naruto with a contemptuous expression and sneered, "Naruto, Iruka is just afraid that you will get that thing."
"Mizuki, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Naruto, don't be fooled by him!"
"Hahahaha, fooled? Let me tell you the truth, Naruto!"
"Shut up! Don't say it!"
Hearing this, Iruka panicked, but Mizuki ignored him and told the truth on his own!
"After the incident 12 years ago, the village set a certain rule. That is a rule that Uzumaki Naruto is not allowed to know!"
Mizuki said with a ferocious face, trying to stir up Naruto's emotional fluctuations.
However, Naruto was still that calm and unperturbed look.
"Oh? What?"
Mizuki didn't expect Naruto to be so calm even after hearing such explosive gossip.
Could it be that the graduation exam really has such a big change on a person?
But the words have already been said, even if he doesn't see the appearance he wants, he must tell Naruto the truth!
"The rule is that you must never tell the fact that Uzumaki Naruto is actually the Nine-Tailed Fox!"
"In other words, you are the Nine-Tailed Fox who killed Iruka's parents and destroyed the village!!"
The scene was silent for a while,
After a while, Naruto said indifferently: "Oh, so what?"
