Solve!
Naruto, how far you can go depends on your own luck.
In a dark room, Sandaime took a deep drag on his pipe.
Chunin Mizuki's betrayal, the theft of the Scroll of Seals, everything was under the eyes of Konoha's higher-ups.
In fact, before this, Konoha already had evidence of Mizuki's betrayal. His daily life and all his actions were under the surveillance of the Anbu.
Mizuki encouraged Naruto to steal the Scroll of Seals, and Sandaime let him do whatever he wanted, hoping that Naruto could learn a Forbidden Technique from the Scroll of Seals.
Sandaime cleverly avoided the other higher-ups' resolutions. In order to effectively control Jinchuriki, he strictly limited Naruto's growth in strength.
There's also the Sandaime, who's also planning to use this incident to make Naruto have a sense of belonging to Konoha and be loyal to it.
That's why he sent Iruka, who had a good relationship with Naruto. Otherwise, all the Anbu Jonin would have set out to search for Naruto. How could Iruka, an ordinary Chunin, find Naruto first?
The matter was over, and the plan went smoothly. Iruka sacrificed himself to save Naruto and won Naruto's absolute trust. Naruto also used the Forbidden Technique from the Scroll of Seals that he just learned, Shadow Clone Jutsu!
First, he solved the traitor Mizuki. Second, Naruto "accidentally" learned the Forbidden Technique. Third, Naruto, as a Jinchuriki, joined Konoha. This incident can be described as killing three birds with one stone!
But in the end, something unexpected happened.
After Mizuki was beaten by Naruto's multiple Shadow Clones, he angrily drank one of Orochimaru's forbidden drugs. His strength suddenly skyrocketed, and Naruto was defeated.
Things turned around too quickly, and even Sandaime felt bad. Because in order to avoid others from finding Naruto too early, he ordered everyone to follow his prescribed route and time sequence.
In other words, facing the violent Mizuki, Naruto and Iruka are in danger!
"Go to hell, demon fox boy!"
His feet shook, and he jumped high. At this time, Mizuki, who drank the violent forbidden drug, burned his boiling Chakra, and his muscles expanded explosively. With this full blow, Naruto's life may be in danger!
Sandaime suddenly stood up and found that the situation was not right. He immediately contacted the nearby search ninjas through the Secret Jutsu and immediately rushed here.
But it was too late now!
"Huh?!"
Sandaime keenly noticed Iruka lying in a pool of blood. He suddenly stood up, and his expression showed that he had made up his mind.
He threw Naruto to the ground and used his own flesh and blood to resist Mizuki's angry attack.
Sandaime breathed a sigh of relief. Being protected by Iruka, he was able to delay Mizuki for a while. However, during this time, other ninjas had already arrived at the scene.
Any one of them can overturn Mizuki, even if Mizuki is now in a state of Chakra Rampage, even if his strength is enhanced, it's only to that extent.
But in this way, Iruka would have to make a sacrifice.
Sandaime couldn't help but remember the Kyuubi incident more than ten years ago. Iruka's family was sacrificed as cannon fodder to delay the Kyuubi.
Today, the only one left, Iruka, will have to repeat the same mistake.
However, even if Sandaime had to choose again, he wouldn't hesitate to choose the Jinchuriki and sacrifice Iruka, who is an ordinary ninja of Konoha.
The real world is so cruel. Even if he is a kind old man in front of everyone, standing in the position of Konoha's fundamental interests, Sandaime will never be swayed!
The title of the Hero of Shinobi is not for him to wear.
However, at this moment, things took a dramatic turn again.
"Go to hell …" Mizuki's angry attack was about to come, but his body stopped in mid-air and suddenly stiffened.
A sharp sword, from behind, accurately pierced his heart.
His beastly red eyes were wide open as he lowered his head to look at the sharp blade that pierced through his chest. His expression was one of extreme anger and unwillingness. He seemed to want to turn his head and see who killed him one last time, but his head tilted to the side and he died on the spot.
"Puchi!"
The sword was fiercely pulled out of Mizuki's body, and suddenly a large amount of blood gushed out. After Mizuki's body fell, the figure behind him was revealed.
"Tong … Kirito?!"
Naruto was still pressing Iruka, who was weak from the loss of blood. He stared at the figure standing in front of him. It was Kirito with a straight sword in his hand.
Kirito smiled kindly at Naruto. "Hey, Naruto, I'm here to save you ~"
"Ah ~ Damn it, it's obviously my time to appear as the protagonist!"
Thinking of the first and only time in his life, he beat up Mizuki, but he didn't expect that he would be killed by Kirito's sword in the end.
Can't you let me have a good time?
Are you the protagonist or am I the protagonist?
Naruto was grateful for Kirito's rescue in the end. As for why Kirito had the ability to kill Mizuki, Naruto didn't think about it at all.
"Kirito … the child of the Hyuga Branch Family."
Sandaime thoughtfully looked through the crystal ball and carefully observed Kirito. He saw the latter's sunny and gentle smile, as if all the conspiracies in the world had nothing to do with him.
Because Sandaime's full attention was focused on Naruto, he didn't even look at Iruka, so he didn't notice Kirito's existence. And how did Kirito sneak attack Mizuki from behind and kill him with such a beautiful blow?
Soon, the rest of the Anbu and other Jonin rushed to the scene. Everyone's attention was focused on Naruto, who was the village's important Jinchuriki, and they paid little attention to Kirito.
Obviously, he was the biggest contributor to solving this matter, but he was ignored. However, Kirito wasn't interested in it.
He left without a sound.
The moment he killed Shui Mu with a single move, the mission issued by the system had been completed, and the reward had also been announced.
In this regard, Kirito couldn't wait to find a quiet place to receive the reward.
