In the fierce entanglement, Mizuki suddenly jumped out of the fight. Iruka, who was temporarily suppressed and at a disadvantage, did not dare to chase him, but just stood not far away to be on guard.
Mizuki looked at Iruka and said, "Iruka, what are you so nervous about? Are you afraid that I will snatch the Book of Sealing? Or are you dealing with Uzumaki Naruto?"
"What exactly is your purpose?" Iruka didn't dare to relax.
Mizuki ignored Iruka and said to Naruto: "Naruto, don't you believe me? I didn't lie to you. Look, you have learned a very powerful ninjutsu, right?"
"I know Mizuki-sensei didn't lie, but why did Mizuki-sensei want to fight with Iruka-sensei? Aren't they both Konoha ninjas?" Naruto asked uneasily.
"Hehe, Naruto, do you want to know the truth?"
Naruto nodded hastily.
"Naruto, do you know why Iruka insisted on not letting you become a ninja? Because Iruka has always resented you. Do you think he is so trustworthy?"
"Resentment? Why?" Naruto simply couldn't accept this fact. Teacher Iruka, who had always taken care of him, also didn't like him?
"I once told you that Iruka is an orphan, right? Do you know where his parents are?" Mizuki said hurtful words without mercy, "Because you killed both of his parents."
The shocking words shocked Naruto and he was incoherent. "I killed Iruka-sensei's parents? How is this possible?"
"Stop talking, Mizuki?" Iruka shouted, trying to stop Mizuki.
Mizuki ignored it and secretly circulated his chakra. With a very slight vibration, Naruto felt a little numb and itchy on his head. But Naruto didn't care at all, thinking it was just a bite from the small insects that were everywhere at night, and scratched his head casually.
Shuimu was secretly delighted. It worked. He had originally used poison just to be on the safe side, but he had never expected it to come in handy. It wasn't even a poison, it was just a stimulant, but it had a lot of side effects, it would speed up metabolism, and temporarily magnify all kinds of emotions, making people prone to extremes for a short period of time.
Seeing that everything was normal, Mizuki then said to Naruto: "More than ten years ago, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konoha and caused countless damage to the village. You know, right?"
"Yeah." Naruto nodded, "I also know that Konoha's great hero, the Fourth Hokage, saved everyone and defended the village."
"That's right, and Iruka's parents were killed by the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox at that time. And the demon fox sealed by the Fourth Hokage was none other than you, Uzumaki Naruto?"
"Damn it Mizuki, don't say that~" Iruka roared, covering his head in pain.
In the Konoha Hokage office building, the Third Hokage, who was observing with the telescope technique, couldn't help but sigh: "Shuimu finally told this matter, this is troublesome."
Meanwhile, Naruto, who was unable to accept the truth, murmured, "How could this be? I am a murderer? I am the monster Nine-Tailed Demon Fox? So that's how it is. No wonder everyone in the village hates me and scolds me. I am always the only one~"
Mizuki looked at Iruka and saw that he hadn't reacted yet. "Good opportunity, the next step is the key to success or failure."
Mizuki quickly formed hand seals and took advantage of Iruka's inability to pay attention to launch an illusion.
"Naraku-Ken no Jutsu."
The target was Naruto who was standing there in a daze.
Uzumaki Naruto, who was caught in the illusion, immediately became confused, and then he seemed to see an incredible scene, with pain and fear on his face.
Mizuki watched the situation develop further.
"The combination of genjutsu and drugs should be able to achieve the desired results. It's not that we don't want to use safer and more potent poisons. It's just that with Uzumaki Naruto's physique and recovery ability, it's impossible to predict his drug resistance. We can only use drugs such as stimulants to avoid causing a strong reaction. Fortunately, Naruto's chakra control is poor, and his resistance to genjutsu is almost zero at the moment."
Iruka, who realized something was wrong, looked at the painful Naruto and asked sternly: "Mizuki, what did you do?"
"I just let him see the truth of the matter. I'm actually very curious about his next choice."
At this moment, Naruto's body couldn't stop shaking in pain. Suddenly, he raised his head and opened his eyes. An abnormal red light was emitted from his eyes, and the anger and madness in them were clearly visible.
Iruka stretched out his hands to comfort Naruto, but Naruto raised his hands to block them aside, then rushed forward and hit Iruka in the chest, knocking Iruka back more than ten meters.
Iruka looked at Naruto in disbelief: "What are you going to do, Naruto? It's not what you think. Don't trust Mizuki."
Unfortunately, Naruto was completely unable to listen. Naruto, who had lost his mind, quickly formed hand seals, and a huge amount of chakra gushed out, and more than 20 shadow clones appeared.
Seeing this, Shuimu hurriedly pushed it away to avoid being hurt by mistake.
"There are only more than 20 clones, which is not comparable to the overwhelming situation in the original book where Mizuki was defeated. Is it because the opponent is Iruka? He is not a big villain like Mizuki in the original book, so he subconsciously does not want to hurt others. He is really a kind child. The reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, the persistence of love and justice has penetrated into his soul."
…
Unknowingly, more than ten minutes had passed. Mizuki watched Naruto using his shadow clones to beat up Iruka, and gradually frowned.
"The situation is not good. Uzumaki Naruto is irrational and doesn't even have the most basic tactical ability. He can only consume Iruka's physical strength in vain. Fortunately, his random punches don't give Iruka any chance to fight back. It looks like it will become a protracted battle. Should we intervene?" He glanced at the seal book on the ground calmly, and then glanced at the jungle in the distance. Not long ago, the alert he set up was triggered. Someone came, but didn't show up. Was he observing the situation? Or~
"Although he concealed it very well, he didn't seem to want to be discovered on purpose. As long as you are strong enough, you can find it with a little inspection. So, with such arrogance, do you think you can control the whole situation in an instant?"
It seems that a formidable master has arrived, and Shuimu couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Don't act rashly. I have already consumed a lot of Iruka's energy. He also has a lot of minor injuries. Iruka is not a ninja with a particularly good physique. Naruto should be able to finish the battle before the effect of the drug wears off."
…
Nearly twenty minutes later, Iruka was knocked down and hit a tree and could no longer stand up. Iruka, who was exhausted, could only look at Naruto helplessly.
Seeing this, Shuimu knew that it was almost time. Naruto had also consumed a lot of energy. If they continued to fight in the afternoon, the Nine-Tails seal would be triggered and things would be really out of control. If this situation continued, the strong men hiding in the dark would not be able to watch it anymore.
Mizuki made up his mind and quickly cast an illusion on Naruto, and then Naruto fell down without any resistance and fell into a deep sleep.
"Iruka, how does it feel to be defeated by a student whom you thought could not become a ninja?" Mizuki walked towards Iruka and Naruto with the posture of a villain.
"What are you going to do? Mizuki, it's not too late to turn back now?" Iruka tried to persuade Mizuki desperately.
"I told you long ago, you are too naive, Iruka." Mizuki did not answer, but walked to Naruto's side and squatted down, forming seals with his hands to circulate chakra, and shouted softly: "Release." Then he shook Naruto's head. Then Naruto slowly woke up.
"Is it Teacher Mizuki?" Then Naruto felt something was wrong, "I seem to have fought a battle in my dream, and my whole body feels so tired. Hey, Teacher Iruka, why are you injured? What happened?" After saying this, Naruto seemed to suddenly wake up, "Could it be that I did all this? I am really a monster." Suddenly Naruto felt distraught.
Mizuki touched Naruto's forehead gently and said with a smile, "Naruto-kun, you did a good job." He no longer paid attention to the confused Naruto and turned to Iruka and said, "The rest of the things are left to you. I'm leaving first. If possible, see you tomorrow." He looked up at the sky and said, "I was wrong. It's almost dawn. I should see you today. Teacher Iruka, and Naruto." After that, he picked up the scroll of the Book of Seals on the ground and walked towards the gate of Konoha.
"The most uncontrollable part is over, and the result is not bad. It should be fine to hand it over to the two people who share the same suffering. A good teacher and a kind-hearted protagonist. Next, this teacher and student should have a love drama. As a villain, it is really not suitable for me to stay any longer."
However, Mizuki couldn't help but feel excited when he saw the scroll on his back: "The Third Hokage actually sent a powerful ninja to act as insurance. It seems that the prop of the Sealed Book is not completely impossible to be the real thing. Do you want to take it out and have a look?" It's really hard to hold a treasure in your hand without being tempted. Mizuki calmed down and thought: "Forget it. We can't make trouble. The risk is too great. It may ruin all our efforts. It's not worth it."
Walking on the forest path, until they could no longer see Naruto and Iruka behind them, a figure suddenly blocked Mizuki's way.
"You must be Shuimu, right? I don't need to explain the situation to you, you already know it. Don't try to escape, you have no chance."
After listening to this, Shuimu carefully looked at the person who came. It was not someone that Yuan Shuimu knew. However, this feature.
"It's Hatake Kakashi." Mizuki's mouth twitched, "Why would a monster ninja of this level be used to deal with such a matter? Isn't the Third Generation thinking that he is overqualified?"
Even so, Shuimu had to accept the reality of being at the mercy of others. After all, their strength was completely different from his own and he could not resist.
"I see. So you are the Anbu who is here to arrest me?"
"Don't ask about irrelevant things, put down the sealed book, and step back."
Mizuki had no choice but to do as he was told, put down the scroll, and stepped back a dozen steps. Kakashi stepped forward, checked it, and put away the sealed book. Then he said to Mizuki, "Very good, since you know the situation, it means you have decided to surrender. My mission is also completed, and the next matter will be handed over to the Third Generation to decide. Let's go."
