Whoosh! Whoosh!
Satoru soared between the roofs of Konoha, and with just a flick of his perception, he located Naruto.
Then he quickly rushed towards him.
It wasn't to go against the Third Hokage, but to watch the show.
He had read the original story, but he hadn't seen the real-life version yet!
Moreover, Iruka was his disciple now; he couldn't be as weak as in the original story, right?
He wouldn't be unable to even defeat Mizuki, would he?
And Naruto, according to his information, had friends at the Ninja School, not to mention Tenyu and Maki sometimes played with him. So why was he still tricked into stealing the sealing scroll?
He wanted to see what Naruto was thinking.
The Third Hokage too, he didn't know how he arranged it to let Mizuki follow his plan. He was quite devious!
Killing two birds with one stone.
The Third Hokage didn't have direct evidence of Mizuki killing his teammates, but he already had suspicions.
Now, it could only be said that the Third Hokage had found evidence and was using Mizuki.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Soon, he sensed several Chakra presences appearing in the distance.
He immediately used the Body Flicker Illusion Technique to appear openly beside them.
At this moment, Iruka didn't know the Third Hokage's plan. After finding Naruto, he transformed into the Naruto who stole the sealing scroll to lure Mizuki away.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Mizuki threw Shuriken, mixed with several other Shuriken, at Naruto.
"Naruto, just give me the sealing scroll, hehe."
"Never."
Iruka dodged the Shuriken attack and tried to escape further.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Kunai he dodged immediately crossed, and behind the Kunai, several thin threads were pulled hard by Mizuki, intending to entangle Iruka.
Bang!
Although Iruka hadn't been on missions for many years, some of his basic skills were still there.
He used the Substitution Technique to avoid Mizuki's trap.
The threads were heavily wrapped around a wooden stake.
"Oh, I didn't expect you, Naruto, to actually know the Substitution Technique. It seems your luck in the exams was really bad."
Mizuki sneered.
Then he vanished from his spot and appeared behind Naruto, kicking him flying, making him roll several times on the ground.
Bang!
Iruka's Transformation Jutsu couldn't be maintained, and he reverted to his original appearance.
Satoru covered his face, "Damn."
As his disciple, he was actually being beaten by Mizuki. What was going on?
Could it be that in the real world, Mizuki had become stronger?
So embarrassing.
Then he cast his gaze into the shadows, where a small figure was observing.
When he saw Iruka get kicked away, his expression tightened, and his fists clenched.
"Iruka, why is it you? Where's Naruto?" Mizuki's face darkened when he saw him.
If he didn't get the sealing scroll, he would suffer a great loss.
Iruka endured his injuries: "Big Brother Mizuki, turn back before it's too late. Don't do anything that betrays the Village. I can intercede with Hokage-sama to lighten your sentence."
His words drove Mizuki mad.
"Sentence? What crime have I committed? I merely killed two teammates for a mission. Why am I being called guilty? A mission is a Ninja's primary duty. This is written in the Ninja School textbook. Because of this, for so many years, I've only been able to be an ordinary teacher at the Ninja School. No matter how much I do, there's no room for advancement. Why, when Lord White Fang failed a mission for his comrades, it caused the villagers to vent their fury on him, and I completed my mission,
yet I didn't get what I deserved. Tell me, what kind of crime is this? If this is a crime, why did Lord White Fang receive such a punishment for his comrades?
If this isn't a crime, why is my promotion suppressed? And you, you pathetic orphan, why did you get promoted faster than me? Is it just because you are Captain Satoru's disciple? Ridiculous. As long as I get the Ninjutsu from the sealing scroll, I can surpass you all, and then pursue Lord Orochimaru! Hahaha, hahahaha!"
Mizuki was hysterical, his eyes filled with ferocity.
He looked at Iruka, gradually developing a murderous intent.
"Don't even think about fighting back. For all these years, I've been your good big brother, I know all your techniques. You can't beat me."
He looked at Iruka, who had blood at the corner of his mouth, and was still forming hand signs, and sneered.
And he threw Shuriken.
Clang! Clang!
Shuriken shot in all directions, striking the Kunai stuck in the ground and sending them flying.
"Fire Line Cut, that's your trump card Ninjutsu, isn't it? You want to kill me, as expected of a Ninja. Even after so long away from the front lines, you still have that mindset. But you're still lacking a bit; you have no defenses against comrades!"
Mizuki mocked.
For all these years, he had seen through Iruka's methods.
"My goodness, Iruka, everything I taught you has gone to the dogs." Satoru was speechless upon hearing this.
And looking at the situation, it hadn't just gone to the dogs, it had also gone to Mizuki.
It was clear that Iruka had trusted Mizuki greatly before, even letting him know his most secret techniques.
It's estimated that Mizuki had thoroughly exploited everything he taught.
Is this the power of world correction?
Satoru even started to doubt.
His butterfly wings didn't flap too strongly, but it still followed a similar plot development, which was unexpected.
Clearly, Iruka wasn't weak among Chunin.
Yet he was so easily dealt with by Mizuki.
Though the details differed, the general outline was still similar.
"Die, Iruka. Go to the Pure Land to see your parents. I will take the sealing scroll and make a name for myself outside."
Mizuki pulled out the giant Shuriken from his back, sneered, and threw it.
Buzz! Buzz!
"Mizuki, turn back before it's too late! You won't succeed!" Iruka shouted.
Bang!
Just as the giant Shuriken was about to reach Iruka, a figure appeared, stepping directly onto the flat surface of the Shuriken, embedding it into the ground.
Then the person flipped over and landed beside Iruka.
"Iruka-sensei, are you alright?"
Naruto looked at Mizuki, his sapphire eyes showing a fox-like expression.
He was carrying a large scroll on his back.
"Naruto, why are you here? Hurry and leave!" Iruka exclaimed, seeing Naruto.
Mizuki looked at Naruto and the scroll on his back, smiling: "Naruto, quickly give me the scroll."
"Mizuki-sensei."
Naruto clenched his fists.
Mizuki: "Hm?"
"Why did you attack Iruka-sensei? Are you trying to kill Iruka-sensei?"
Naruto questioned.
"You don't need to worry about that, just give me the scroll."
"No, Mizuki-sensei, you're lying to me. It's all for this scroll. And you want to kill Iruka-sensei. I won't give it to you."
How could Naruto allow such a thing to happen? Iruka-sensei was one of the few people in the Village who was kind to him.
So he was filled with anger.
He didn't understand why Mizuki-sensei, who had such a good relationship with Iruka-sensei, would attack him.
Even more, he didn't understand why he would lie to him.
