Chapter 37 - Chapter 037

So Iruka had managed to weaken him a little at some point but he still had a lot of stats for Naruto to overcome. But Naruto didn't particularly care at the moment. He wanted to do as much damage as possible to the traitor and he had two new jutsu burning a hole in pocket for almost an hour now. The question was how many kage bunshin should he make so that they could still use [Kage Buki]. Ten clones would be able to make ten weapon copies while Naruto made one hundred. That should be enough right.

"[Kage Bunshin no Jutsu]," Naruto said aloud for no other reason than to fuck with the traitorous prick. And with those words ten perfect copies of Naruto shimmered into existence. "Surround him," Naruto ordered his clones as he continued to glare at Mizuki.

"Ten times nothing is still nothing," said Mizuki coldly.

"We'll see about that," said Naruto, his hands already drawing a kunai from his leg pouch, an action mimicked by his clones. Naruto threw the weapon at the very cocky Mizuki. The man just stood there expecting to easily dodge the kunai when Naruto's body did two quick hand seals. "[Kage Buki no Jutsu]." Suddenly that one Kunai turned into a hundred kunai and Mizuki's eyes widened in terror as Naruto's clones did the same damned thing and while there were less kunai it still cut off all his escape routes.

Naruto blanched a little when Mizuki took the full brunt of the kunai swarm causing the man's HP to immediately drop to zero.

Naruto sat in the Hokage's office, feeling like he was six again and had been caught setting up a bucket over the old man's door for a prank. Only this time, Naruto was in real trouble and would be lucky to make it out alive.

"So, Naruto-kun, you've had quite the adventure tonight?" asked the Hokage.

Naruto wasn't sure if it was a trick question or not but answered all the same. "Yeah, it was an adventure, not all good either."

"Yes, you saw tonight one of the darker aspects of shinobi life. Traitors come and go and they all must be dealt with eventually. In spite of your horrendous mistake you have done a great service to this village in putting permanent stop to him, hard though it may have been."

Naruto hadn't really computed that he'd killed Mizuki until the Hokage said it just then. He'd never killed before or thought he'd have to. But that wasn't entirely true either, on some level it had to of occurred to him that he would probably have to kill as a shinobi but then again he never thought it would happen so soon or that it would be so easy to do. "I didn't mean . . . I killed him?"

"Yes, Naruto-kun, you did indeed. I understand this may difficult for you but know I'll be here for you if you need someone to talk to about it. But for now, we need to discuss tonight's events."

"I understand, jiji," said Naruto morosely. "So, what's my punishment?"

"I don't think punishment will really be necessary this time but please, don't let this ever happen again."

"Of course not," said Naruto. "I had no idea Mizuki was trying to trick me, I had no reason not to trust him."

"And that is exactly why you are not in trouble. It is also what allows me to protect you from certain elements within the village."

"Because of me being Kyuubi?" asked Naruto.

"You are not now, nor have you ever been the Kyuubi. That beast is sealed within you," explained the old man. "I'm sorry you had to find out the way you did. I would have preferred to sit down with you after you took your genin ID picture. So, I'm sure you have questions, now's the time to ask them."

Naruto frowned while he thought about the situation. "Why me?"

"I can't tell you that, I just know that the fourth had absolute faith you could take on the burden. Plus, you're an Uzumaki."

"What does that mean exactly?"

"You are one of the last survivors of the Uzumaki Clan. The Uzumaki Clan bloodline is one of the only bloodlines capable of restraining the Kyuubi. Jinchuuriki for the Kyuubi have always been members of the Uzumaki Clan."

"Jinchuuriki?"

"Jinchuuriki is the term applied to those who have a biju sealed inside of them. There have been two other Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi before you?"
