Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Mizuki Arrives
[Namikaze Minato: Master Izuna, thank you for thinking highly of my son]
[Uchiha Izuna: Hahaha! It's not a big deal]
[And although we're not from the same generation, I was still very young when I died. I always feel a bit weird when you call me master!]
The group continued chatting, while Makoto had already recorded all the techniques while Naruto was still trying to master Rasengan.
Suddenly, a figure landed in front of them.
It was none other than Iruka who had an exhausted look on his face.
Seeing him like this, Naruto asked with a worried expression, "What's wrong with you, Iruka-sensei?"
Iruka sighed, clearly disheartened. "I was trying out a new technique,"
Naruto replied with a face full of surprises,
"Sensei, we are also learning new techniques!"
Iruka's eyes widened after hearing his words and asked with a suspicious face.
"Really? Where did you get them?"
Naruto then explained, "Teacher Mizuki said that if I get the Scroll of Seals and learn the techniques in it, I can graduate and become a real ninja!"
Iruka's expression darkened as he realized what was going on. "What?! Mizuki?!"
Before Naruto could tell the rest of the story, a figure appeared behind them.
Naturally, It was Mizuki.
With a few swift movements, several shurikens were launched toward them.
Makoto was quick to react, pulling out a kunai and deflecting the shurikens effortlessly.
Mizuki landed nearby and sneered. "It seems you've both gotten your hands on the Scroll. Hand it over to me now."
Iruka stepped forward, shielding Naruto and Makoto, "You must not give the Scroll to him!"
[Uchiha Madara: This Mizuki finally shows up. I was getting tired of waiting for him]
[Senju Tobirama: He isn't particularly strong, but he's certainly good at using his brains. Though I doubt he can escape from the village with his pitiful strength]
[Hyuga Hizashi: Is the show finally about to start?]
[Uchiha Madara: What show? It's just amateurs pecking at each other!]
Iruka confronted Mizuki, his voice filled with anger. "Mizuki! You used these children just to get the Scroll. You're despicable!"
Mizuki rolled his eyes at him "Tch, Iruka, I suggest you stay out of this, or next year this time will be your death anniversary."
Iruka still stood between Mizuki and the two students, and said firmly, "I am their teacher! I won't let someone like you harm my students! Not now, not ever!!!"
Makoto closed the scroll and then threw it into Naruto's arms. "Naruto, keep it safe!"
Naruto nodded vigorously. "Don't worry, Makoto! I won't hand it over, no matter what!"
Mizuki frowned after seeing their actions.
"Iruka, why are you meddling in things you have no business with? Your strength is inferior to mine, and now you've brought two kids into this mess. Do you really want to die?"
[Uchiha Madara: Why is this guy yapping so much? I am getting tired of this shit! Makoto, take him down!]
Iruka furrowed his brow as he calculated the situation. If he were alone, he could still handle Mizuki.
With both Makoto and Naruto present, if things escalated, they'd be in danger. He needed to fight Mizuki first while helping the kids escape.
Before he could fully analyze the situation, a huge shuriken appeared, larger than a person.
It flew straight toward them.
"Iruka! You think I'm giving you time to prepare?" Mizuki called out menacingly.
Iruka saw the massive shuriken flying toward them and shouted, "Get out of the way!!!"
But Naruto was terrified by the sight of the giant shuriken and stood froze in fear.
Noticing this, Iruka jumped in front of him, trying to block the attack with his own body.
[Senju Hashirama: As expected, Iruka is really a good teacher]
[Senju Tobirama: He's a good person, but his strength is a bit...too weak.]
[Uchiha Madara: Why is this guy using his body to block it?!]
[Namikaze Minato: Makoto! Take action now!]
Makoto was a bit confused as he watched Iruka's actions.
He wondered why Iruka was using his body for such a move. Iruka was a Chūnin. Couldn't he use his ninja tools to block the attack?
Makoto quickly pulled out a kunai, activated the Body Flicker Technique, and appeared next to Iruka. In one smooth motion, he blocked the incoming giant shuriken with his kunai.
In the distance, Mizuki narrowed his eyes after seeing this scene. "This kid...was he hiding his strength all along?"
Iruka and Naruto were both left speechless, staring in disbelief.
What did they just see?
Makoto, a newly graduated student, had just blocked an attack from a Chūnin.
Iruka was especially stunned. He knew that Makoto had been the top student in the class, but he hadn't expected him to be this strong.
How could a newly graduated student have such abilities?
When Mizuki saw Makoto block the shuriken, he frowned as things were getting out of his hands.
He quickly jumped down from the tree. ready to end the fight.
"I don't have time to play with you! Go to hell, kid!!!" Mizuki snarled with a ferocious expression as he launched himself towards their direction.
