The Rise of Onmyoji: The Path of Naruto

Chapter 36 The battlefield described by Mizuki

Mizuki, Mizuki, what a pity.Your wish may be in vain. I told Iruka about it.If Iruka knew it, it meant that the Third Generation also knew it.

If the third generation knows about it, then it will be over for you.

But I will be safe

Therefore

The boy started shouting loudly: "Mizuki, Teacher Mizuki asked me to do this."

"Mizuki" Iruka's pupils shrank sharply.

Thinking about his usually mild-tempered colleague, and thinking about the teacher who was considered kind by the students, Iruka couldn't believe it.

Could it be that he was all pretending?

Could it be that behind these disguises is just the seal scroll?

Mizuki's eerie face suddenly flashed through his mind, and Iruka frowned deeply.

At this moment, Naruto's screams from sitting in the tree reached Iruka's ears.

"Be careful"

"What?" Before he finished speaking, Iruka suddenly felt a violent fluctuation in the air behind him.

The figure suddenly dodged away, and several shurikens pierced the place where Iruka had just stood.

Iruka, who was already lying on the side, frowned deeply. His eyes briefly stayed on the shurikens for a few seconds, then turned to the other side.

On the grassland where there was no one before, there was now a figure standing there.

"It's really you Mizuki..."

After slowly uttering a few words, Iruka stood up.The two faced each other.

Iruka spoke first: "I really want to know the reason why you did this."

Mizuki's face was no longer the gentle look it always had in front of others.The weird evil smile clearly revealed Mizuki's true nature.

"The reason" Mizuki chuckled, "Why do you want to know?"

"Tell me" Iruka's voice was firm, his eyes fixed on Mizuki not far away.

"Ha" Mizuki raised his head and glanced at Naruto on the tree, then looked at Iruka again and said, "You really want to know."

Iruka's face was filled with anger, and he only had time to say a word before disappearing.

"Naruto, jump down"

At the same time that Iruka's body disappeared, Mizuki's figure also disappeared.

Mizuki reappeared, holding a kunai in his hand, crossing the position where Naruto was sitting before, and pierced deeply into the big tree.

Mizuki actually wanted to kill Naruto

Iruka felt a chill in his heart.

He is no longer the Mizuki he was in everyone's eyes before. He is not a colleague but an enemy.

Iruka used his body to absorb the momentum of Naruto's fall.

Mizuki stood on the tree, looking down at the two people on the ground. He didn't make any move to take action again, but slowly pulled out his kunai...

Iruka stood up, protected Naruto behind him, and said in a low voice: "Mizuki, I want you to give me a reason."

A breeze blew by, the leaves rustled, and Mizuki still had that weird smile.

The scene fell silent...

In Hokage's office.

The third generation looked at the scene in the crystal ball and couldn't help but shook his head.

Standing beside him were still two advisors.

Mitomon's eyebrows

His head was deeply wrinkled, with an exaggerated "Chuan" shape on his forehead.

"Sandaime, I suggest you send someone to go there quickly. Iruka is one of the few outstanding teachers in Konoha. That child will not be allowed to suffer any harm."

Sarutobi Sasuke turned his head and looked at his old companion.

Suddenly, he smiled.

"Men Yan...don't be so nervous. Do you think Iruka will be defeated by Mizuki?"

Mito Menyan opened his mouth but said nothing.

San explained on his behalf: "Iruka-sensei is our elite chuunin in Konoha, and Mizuki... was just a deserter who was lucky enough to survive. You said, the chance of winning this battle... ..Isn’t it big?”

"It's not a matter of low odds of winning." Mito Kadoyan was silent for a long time, and slowly responded to the third generation: "The problem is... Iruka still has to protect that boy..."

"Ha." Sandai smiled: "That's right..."

"Now... let's watch. Trust Iruka"

The room was quiet.The three people and three pairs of eyes stared at the crystal ball on the table again.

There was something that Sandai didn't say, so he added it silently in his heart: I also believe...that child

Even he himself didn't know where the Sandaime got his confidence in Naruto, but he...still believed.

The scene in the crystal ball has changed.

Mizuki, who was standing on the tree, jumped down at some point and stood not far in front of Iruka.

Being stared closely at by Iruka's vigilant eyes, Mizuki seemed to feel nothing.

Licking his dry lips, Mizuki began to tell his story...

The story is very simple

It tells the story of a betrayer.

The ninja world has never been peaceful, especially since Konoha occupies the most resource-rich and beautiful place on the continent.

The ninja world has experienced one, two, and three wars. If we look back, Mizuki participated in the third ninja war.

The Third Ninja World War in Konoha was very hard, so reinforcements from various battlefields came slowly.Konoha ninjas need to rely on strong perseverance and ability to survive after defeating enemy ninjas.

However, surviving does not mean that you are safe.

Those who survive will be injured, so there will be injured people.

The injured ones were of course not as fast as those uninjured ninjas.

This is where Mizuki's story begins...

"That was a retreat..." Mizuki's eyes began to become confused, as if he was thinking about something.

In fact, he was indeed thinking about something.

"There are ten people in our team." Mizuki nodded, "That's ten people."

"But after we annihilated the enemy with great difficulty, we were overtaken by the enemy's backup ninjas as we retreated."

"We, who have just experienced the war, are certainly not as physically strong as those energetic ninjas."

Following Mizuki's description, the scene on the battlefield at that time seemed to appear in front of Naruto's eyes... The tired Konoha ninjas forced themselves to regain their energy and ran on the road.

However, there are enemies behind him that cannot be shaken off.

The enemy chased them, throwing shurikens in an attempt to hurt those in front.

And they succeeded. One Konoha ninja was deeply stabbed in the leg by flying shurikens.

My leg was injured... and my speed naturally slowed down.
