Naruto: Naruto-chan's little childhood sweetheart?

Mizuki jumped down from the tree trunk, pulled out the huge shuriken from behind, and walked slowly towards Naruto.

"Naruto, hand over the sealed book."

Seeing this, Iruka immediately dragged his body and stood in front of Naruto.

"No Naruto, you can't hand over the scroll even if you die. It is a dangerous thing that was sealed because it contains forbidden ninjutsu. Mizuki used you to get it, so hurry up and take Jian Li away from here."

Without waiting for Naruto to respond, Mizuki spoke directly.

"Naruto, Iruka is lying to you because he is afraid that you will get that thing."

"what?"

Naruto was confused by the words of the two for a moment.

"Hehehe...just let me tell you the truth."

？ ！！

"Asshole, shut up!"

Teacher Iruka stopped, but there was nothing he could do to stop Mizuki, he could only watch him talk.

"After the incident 12 years ago, a rule was made in the village. It is a rule that only you, Uzumaki Naruto, cannot know."

"Only me? What's the rule?"

Looking at Naruto who had a puzzled look in front of him, Mizuki gave an evil smile and said word by word

"That is, we must not let you know that you are actually a demon fox. In other words... you are the nine-tailed demon fox who killed Iruka's parents and destroyed the village!"

Naruto's eyes widened and he froze on the spot for a moment, feeling that his head was a little dazed.

"I...I am...a demon fox?"

"That's right~ This is why you are so unpopular in the village, Naruto, no one will agree with you, even Iruka and that little girl hate you, because it's you who killed me! Their families...all the people who come close to you, without exception, are because of the demon fox in you."

【Whoosh! 】

As Mizuki finished speaking, a kunai suddenly flew out from behind Naruto and cut off his ear with lightning speed.

"what?!"

Following a cry of pain, Mizuki subconsciously covered his left ear and looked at Jian Li behind Naruto in disbelief.

Was she the one who threw the kunai that was faster than her just now? !

Seeing that he was staring at her, Jian Li clapped her hands and replied unhappily.

"After listening for a long time, I almost laughed. I said, why do you think you can decide what I and Iruka-sensei think?"

Shuimu was stunned for a moment, then said coldly

"Haha... I really didn't expect that you could actually like the murderer of your own family."

"murderer?"

Hearing this, Jian Li sneered.

"The murderer is the person who controls the Nine-Tails to destroy Konoha, not Naruto. In my eyes, the Nine-Tails is the Nine-Tails and Naruto is Naruto.

You said no one would agree with Naruto?I'm sorry, I agree because he is my most important friend, Iruka-sensei will also agree because Naruto is his excellent student.

With that said, Jian Li turned her head and looked at Iruka.

"Am I right, Iruka-sensei?"

Iruka glanced at Jian Li in surprise, but quickly came to his senses and nodded heavily.

"Ah, in my eyes, Naruto has never been a demon fox, he has always been Konoha's Uzumaki Naruto!"

Jian Li's voice and Iruka's affirmation fell like a heavy hammer on Naruto's heart. He turned back to look at the two of them, and his eyes were filled with tears at some point.

"Hey... you slick-tongued girl, if that's the case, then you can all be buried here!"

Mizuki waved his hand, and the shuriken instantly stabbed Jian Li.

Jian Li, who had been prepared for a long time, squatted down to avoid the shuriken. The next moment, she used the teleportation technique to come behind Mizuki, jumped into the air, and struck Mizuki's neck hard with her whip leg.

"Nani?!"

Shuimu was knocked to the ground and rolled several times before stopping and looking at Jian Li warily.

"You throw shurikens so skillfully and you can also use the teleportation technique. It seems that you are also a yellow bird hiding in the dark..."

oriole?

Jian Li suddenly thought of something and looked at Naruto subconsciously.

good chance? !

Seeing that Jian Li was distracted, Mizuki immediately threw the huge shuriken in his hand with all his strength, but the target was not Jian Li, but Naruto who was stunned not far away.

？ ！！

Iruka quickly tried to protect Naruto, but Jian Li's reaction was even faster. He directly threw the last kunai in his hand, accurately hitting the huge shuriken, causing it to deviate from the track and land on the ground. Next to Naruto.

"call……"

Just as Jian Li was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt movement on the grass in front of her, and her pupils suddenly shrank. Just as she was about to distance herself, Mizuki grabbed her by the neck and pushed her to the ground forcefully.

"Well?!"

Feeling the severe pain coming from her throat, Jian Li kicked her feet involuntarily, trying to break free, but Mizuki's grip tightened.

Seeing that the blow was successful, a sinister smile appeared on Mizuki's face.

"Haha... You dare to lose your focus while fighting with me. She is just a little girl after all."

After saying that, Mizuki raised his right hand and raised the huge shuriken, ready to end Jian Li's life.

Just before the shuriken was about to fall, Naruto suddenly attacked, kicked Mizuki hard in the face, and sent him flying backwards.

"Cough cough...cough cough cough..."

Jian Li rubbed her neck painfully. Seeing this, Naruto quickly knelt down and frantically checked her injuries.

"Jian Li! How are you?!"

"No... nothing..."

If you had come even one second late, I would have lost my patience and beaten him into a pig's head...

After confirming that Jian Li was fine, Naruto felt relieved, stood up, and looked coldly at Mizuki, who had just fallen to the ground not far away.

"That damn bastard..."

Seeing Naruto's small universe exploded, Jian Li couldn't help but smile, but she still complained a little in her heart.

Tsk... Even though it was to let this big idiot show off his strength in the eyes of the Sandaime, he has suffered so much in vain, and I always feel like I'm a bit shortchanged...

At the same time, Mizuki stood up and looked at Naruto with a ferocious expression. He wanted to say harsh words, but was frightened in place by his murderous eyes.

"You bastard, how dare you hurt Jian Li..."

As he spoke, Naruto formed a cross seal with his hands. In an instant, an extremely large amount of chakra burst out from his body, turning into tentacles and spreading, covering himself in the blink of an eye.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

【Bang~! 】

A huge burst of smoke spread in the forest, and by the time it dissipated, Naruto's figure was densely covered in all directions.

"Nani?!"

Mizuki's pupils suddenly shrank, and the dense crowd of Naruto in front of him made him subconsciously feel an emotion called fear, and his legs began to tremble unconsciously.
