Hokage: Ryo’s Path - Chapter 384

[Chapter 380 Naruto Breaks Out]

The power and speed of the cursed Shuimu have been greatly improved.

The sudden increase in the opponent’s strength caught Naruto a little off guard, while Mizuki became more and more familiar with the power of the spell in the battle with Naruto, and gradually Naruto began to fall into the disadvantage.

Naruto has grown up under the protection of Kushina for so many years, and he has too little combat experience. After falling behind, he doesn’t know how to turn the situation around, and he has been passively beaten.

Yamanaka Ryo sighed and felt that it was necessary to find someone to stimulate Naruto and let Naruto burst out with his due strength. It just so happened that there was still an Iruka in the forest right now.

Thinking of this mountain, Zhongyuan sensed Iruka’s position and teleported to his vicinity.

Iruka was wandering around in the forest still looking for Naruto, Yamanaka Ryo did the same and led Iruka to Naruto and Mizuki, and then his own disappeared.

The sudden appearance and disappearance of Naruto made Iruka feel very strange, but when he saw Naruto and a tiger not far away, he immediately cast aside his doubts and ran over.

At this time, Naruto, when facing Mizuki, has no backhand power at all, and has been passively beaten.

Seeing this, Iruka immediately appeared between Naruto and Mizuki, helping Naruto block Mizuki’s attack.

Only then did Iruka realize that the “tiger man” in front of him was Mizuki.

Iruka and Mizuki have known each other for so many years, but they never knew that Mizuki still has this ability: “Mizuki, how did you become like this?”

“Haha! This is the power given to me by Lord Orochimaru.” Mizuki said with a big smile.

Iruka was stunned for a moment, and then said very seriously: “Shui Mu, there is no power that comes for nothing in this world. If you become like this, maybe it will hurt you.”

“Humph! Iruka, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you people understand the greatness of Lord Orochimaru? Stop talking nonsense, hand over the sealed book, and I will spare your life, otherwise…”

Looking at Mizuki who had fallen into madness, Iruka ignored him, but turned around and said to Naruto: “Naruto, listen! Mizuki is not a good person, you should take the book of seals back to the Naruto Studio and hand it over to Naruto. Hokage-sama, tell him the situation here.”

Naruto was stunned, obviously not expecting Iruka to say such a thing. “Mr. Iruka, what do you do when I leave? Now Mizuki has the strength of a special Shang-Nin or even a Shang-Nin, and you are not his opponent at all.”

Iruka patted Naruto’s head and said, “It’s fine! I said it was Chunin, it’s still possible to hold back Mizuki, Naruto, let’s go!”

Mizuki snorted coldly when he heard the words: “Humph! Did you leave? And Naruto, you went back to the Hokage Studio to send you to death, you know? Naruto, do you know the crime of stealing the book of seals? Kushina and Yamanaka Ryo. Can’t save you.

And do you really think Iruka is really protecting you? His parents died at the hands of Nine Tails.

You are the nine-tailed person Zhuli. In the eyes of the village, you are the nine-tailed. Do you think Iruka will truly protect you in the face of your enemy?

Don’t be naive, Naruto, just give me the book of seals, and then we will take it to Lord Orochimaru. ”

Mizuki’s words are all offensive words, with a strong delusional character.

Naruto knew from a very young age that some people in the village hated him. At first, he didn’t know the reason, but later he knew that it was because after the Nine Tails, Naruto didn’t complain and silently took on the disgust.

However, the attitude of these people in the village still affected Naruto, and since then, Naruto has become fond of mischief.

On the one hand, I want to attract the attention of these people to get in touch with them, and on the other hand, I want to vent the depression in my heart.

But no matter what he did, the attitude of the people in the village remained the same. Naruto gradually felt chilled. When he stopped doing these unnecessary things, he would never forget the indifferent eyes of those people.

So after hearing Mizuki’s words, Naruto subconsciously stayed away from Iruka. He was afraid that Iruka hated him just like the people in the village.

Naruto’s retreating action made Iruka feel a little distressed. Indeed, when he first learned that he was going to be a teacher of Naruto, Iruka refused in his heart.

But when he saw Naruto using a prank to attract the attention of those who hated him, Iruka remembered himself when he was young, and it was this resonance that made Iruka gradually accept Naruto.

Since then, Iruka has sincerely treated Naruto as his younger brother.

“Naruto, you believe me! I never…”

Just as Iruka was about to explain, Mizuki threw a shuriken at him. Mizuki and Iruka were only a few meters apart, and Naruto was behind him, so Iruka could not avoid it.

He gritted his teeth and turned around and hugged Naruto, Mizuki’s shuriken inserted directly into Iruka’s back.

“Iruka-sensei!” Naruto didn’t expect Iruka to protect him regardless.

Iruka endured the pain and pushed Naruto away: “Naruto, I’m fine, go away! Go to Hokage-sama.”

“You still want to go? Iruka, you are down, how can you escape from me with this little devil.” After that, Mizuki ran directly towards Naruto.

Seeing this, Iruka hugged Mizuki with his last strength, delaying Naruto.

Shuimu couldn’t break free for a while, and said with a cold snort, “Iruka, why are you doing this? You are so protective of a demon fox, don’t forget that he is still your enemy.”

“Naruto…he…isn’t….what a fox, he is…I recognize…an outstanding student. Naruto, hurry up!”

Iruka’s words made Naruto standing on the side both moved and heartbroken. Naruto clenched his fists and said to the nine tails: “Kurama, with your help, can we defeat him?”

“Naruto, did you misunderstand something? Who do you think I am? I’m just a Jōnin.” Kyuubi passed his chakra to Naruto.

A red chakra appeared on Naruto, and a moment later a tailed beast coat appeared.

Naruto’s changes startled both Iruka and Mizuki, especially Mizuki.

After the Mizuki curse was transformed into a tiger man, he himself had the ability to predict the danger of beasts. After Naruto entered the state of the tail beast coat, he felt extreme danger.

Mizuki first subconsciously took two steps back, and finally turned around and ran. Naruto didn’t hesitate when he saw this, and went after him directly.

There is no suspense in the battle between the two this time. Mizuki’s incomplete spell seal has no chance at all when facing Naruto, and Naruto solves it by three and five.

After removing the state of the tailed beast’s coat, Naruto immediately went to check on Iruka’s situation. At this time, Yamanaka Ryo, who had been watching the play, also walked out of the dark.
