Hokage Ryo’s Path Chapter 377, Naruto’s Outburst .
Thanks to the curse, Mizuki’s power, and speed was greatly improved . His opponent’s sudden increase in power caught Naruto off guard . As time went by, Mizuki became familiar with the curse seal’s power . The battle changed tides, with Naruto at the losing end .
Growing up under Kushina’s protection for so many years, Naruto’s combat experience was scarce . After falling to the losing end, he had no idea how to reverse the situation and was beaten by Mizuki .
Yamanaka Ryo sighed . Thinking it’s necessary to find someone to stimulate Naruto so he would outburst his power . And Iruka was in this forest right now . Sensing Iruka’s location, he teleported near him .
Iruka wandered around the forest, still looking for the boy . Ryo did the same trick he used on Mizuki and led Iruka to the battle . After that, he disappeared .
Naruto’s sudden appearance and disappearance made Iruka feel something amiss . But when he caught a glimpse of Naruto in the distance, battling a tiger . He immediately cast his doubts and rushed .
………
At this time, Naruto, having no strategy to face Mizuki, was beaten . Iruka immediately appeared between the two of them, helping Naruto block Mizuki’s attack . At this moment, Iruka discovered the tiger in front of him was none other than Mizuki . They had known each other for years, but he never knew Mizuki had this ability, “Mizuki, what happened to you?”
“Hahahaha! This is the power that Orochimaru-sama bestowed on me . ” Mizuki said with a laugh .
Hearing this, Iruka solemnly said, “Mizuki, there’s no great power given for free . It might end up hurting you . ”
“Hmph!! What are you talking about, Iruka? How could you understand Orochimaru-sama’s greatness? Stop talking nonsense and hand over the Scroll of Seals to me . Only then will I spare your life . Otherwise…”
Looking at Mizuki, who had lost all his senses, Iruka ignored him and turned to Naruto, “Listen, Naruto! Mizuki is not a good person . Take the scroll back to Hokage’s Office and give it to Hokage-sama . Tell him what happened here . ”
Naruto froze, never expecting his sensei would say that, “Iruka sensei, what are you going to do now? Mizuki had a special power beyond Jounin strength . You’re not his opponent . ”
Iruka touched Naruto’s head and said, “It’s okay! I’m also a Chuunin . I can handle Mizuki . Now, run along, Naruto!”
Hearing this, Mizuki coldly snorted, “Hmph! Did you? Naruto, if you return the seal to Hokage’s office, you’ll be a dead man . Do you know the punishment for stealing the Scroll of Seals? Even Kushina and Yamanaka Ryo can’t protect you . And do you think this guy would protect you? He, whose parents died at the hands of Kyuubi? You’re the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki . From the village’s perspective, you’re the Kyuubi . Do you think Iruka would protect his enemy? Don’t be foolish, hand over the scroll to me, and I’ll take it to Orochimaru-sama . ”
Mizuki’s words were offensive and deceptive .
From a very young age, Naruto knew some people in the village hated him . At first, he didn’t understand why, but later he found out it was because of Kyuubi . But Naruto didn’t complain and silently walked as they mocked him . However, these people’s attitude affected Naruto . Since then, Naruto has become a prankster . On the one hand, he wanted to draw their attention to build a relationship with them, and on the other hand, he just wanted to vent the pain in his heart .
But no matter what he did, their attitude towards him remained the same . Naruto gradually became cold, he no longer did these things, and he would never forget those people’s indifferent eyes towards him . After hearing Mizuki’s words, Naruto subconsciously stepped away from Iruka . He was afraid that Iruka would hate him like those people in the village .
Naruto’s retreat made Iruka feel a little distressed . Indeed, at the very beginning, he refused when he knew he was going to be Naruto’s sensei . But when he saw the boy use pranks to attract the attention of the people who hate him, Iruka remembered his childhood . This was the resonance that made Iruka accept Naruto . Since then, he had considered Naruto as his younger brother .
“Naruto! Believe in me! I never…”
Just as Iruka started talking, Mizuki threw a shuriken at him . They were only a few meters away . With Naruto on his back, he couldn’t dodge . He turned and gritted his teeth as he hugged Naruto . Mizuki’s shuriken penetrated Iruka’s back .
“Iruka sensei!” Naruto didn’t expect Iruka to bravely protect him without thinking about his own safety .
Iruka held back the pain and pushed Naruto away, “Naruto! I’m fine . Quick! Go to Hokage-sama . ”
“Still thinking of leaving? Iruka, you’re injured . And this little demon can’t escape from me . ”
Mizuki dashed towards Naruto . Seeing this, Iruka hugged Mizuki with his last strength, protecting Naruto .
Mizuki couldn’t move for a while, he just coldly snorted and said, “Iruka, why would you do this? Why would you protect the demon fox? Don’t forget . He’s your enemy!”
“Naruto… isn’t… he’s not… a fox… he is… an excellent student . Naruto! Go!”
Iruka’s words made Naruto feel both touched and heartbroken . He clenched his fist and called out to Kyuubi, “Kurama, can you help me defeat him?”
“Naruto, did you forget who I am? Who do you think I am? A Jounin?” Kyuubi passed his Chakra to Naruto .
Red Chakra flowed to Naruto, and Ichibi’s Bijuu coat appeared .
The scene startled both Iruka and Mizuki, especially Mizuki . Mizuki’s curse seal turned into a tiger . He possessed the wild beast’s ability to predict danger . He felt grave danger at the moment Naruto entered the status of Bijuu’s coat . Subconsciously, he took a step back and finally turned around to run away, but Naruto won’t let him escape .
There was no suspense in their battle this time . Mizuki’s incomplete curse seal had no advantage when facing Naruto . He quickly finished Mizuki .
After removing his Bijuu’s coat, Naruto immediately went to check on Iruka . At this time, Ryo, who had been watching from afar, stepped out of the shadows .
