"Today, you little demon foxes will all die here together..."

As Mizuki spoke, he took off the two wind demon shurikens from his back.

"Naruto, hurry and run, I'll stop him..." Iruka struggled to stand up, but the wound on his back prevented him from using any strength.

"You are not allowed to harm Iruka-sensei. Otherwise, I'll kill you..." Naruto stood in front of Iruka, looking at Mizuki with a cold expression.

"Oh? Kill me? Just a little demon fox like you? Speaking of which, there's something you probably don't know about why so many people in the village call you a demon fox... Twelve years ago, the Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly appeared and caused huge casualties in Konoha. Countless villagers and ninja died in that incident, including Iruka's parents. In other words, you, the demon fox, were the killer of Iruka's parents..." Mizuki suddenly laughed sinisterly.

"Mizuki, shut up..." Iruka's face was full of anger. "The one who killed my parents was the Nine-Tailed Fox, not Naruto. He is my student, Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha, not the incarnation of the Nine-Tailed Fox..."

"Am I the incarnation of the demon fox that killed many people?!" Naruto lowered his head, his face expressionless, but his fists were tightly clenched and his body was trembling slightly.

"Yes, it was because of you that Konoha suffered heavy casualties twelve years ago. Even the Fourth Hokage died in your hands..." Mizuki laughed, full of mockery. "Do you think Iruka would treat his father's killer well? He just wants to find a chance to kill you. Also, I remember you liked that girl named Sakura Haruno in the ninja school. If she knew that you were the Nine-Tailed Fox that almost destroyed the village, how do you think she would treat you?!"

"Not well..."

Suddenly, music sounded, and Sakura and her group walked out of the forest. Hyuga Hiashi, who was in the Hokage's office, saw his daughter's appearance in the crystal ball and was expressionless, but his heart was already in turmoil. How did his ladylike daughter become such a rogue?!

"Well, this entrance is pretty cool..."

"Only you think it's cool. My gentle and lovely daughter..." Hyuga Hiashi and Inoichi Yamanaka both sighed in their hearts, their brows furrowed with worry. How could they explain to their children's mother when they went back?

At this moment, Iruka was stunned as he looked at the group of people walking out of the shadows.

"Sakura, Sasuke, and Hinata, why are you all here?!"

"We've been here all along. We've been watching Mizuki-sensei's conspiracy the whole time!" Sakura explained, then walked up and patted Naruto's shoulder. "Okay, don't be so sad. Haven't I told you before? You're not a demon fox, you're Uzumaki Naruto, our good friend. That's all. Look, everyone is waiting for you!"

"I..." Naruto turned around and saw that Sasuke, Hinata, and the others were looking at him with the same eyes as usual, without disgust or rejection, only hidden worries.

Mizuki's mood at this time became very bad. Originally, he was confident in dealing with just Naruto and Iruka, but now so many people suddenly appeared. Whether he could kill them all was secondary. The key was that most of these people were heirs of major clans. If he killed them all here, he would be hunted down by Konoha with all their might. His crimes and theft of the Sealing Book would be completely different.

"Naruto, Sakura, I'll hold Mizuki back. You guys go find the ninja in the village..." Iruka struggled to stand up, but the feeling of blood loss made his head dizzy.

"Well, Iruka-sensei, just sit back and watch the show. Mizuki is just one person. We can handle it!" Sakura helped Iruka sit back down, then said to the air next to her, "Someone come out and help Iruka-sensei heal!"

Just as Iruka was puzzled, a person dressed in ANBU attire suddenly appeared, startling Iruka.

"This is an ANBU ninja?"

"Why is ANBU here? Does that mean my plan..."

Mizuki was even more frightened. ANBU obeyed the Third Hokage, and now they appeared here. Did the Third Hokage already know what he had done?!

"Mizuki-sensei, how do you feel about meeting the film crew?" Seeing that ANBU was treating Iruka, Sakura turned around and looked at Mizuki, whose face was changing.

"Film crew?" Mizuki's heart jumped. No wonder he had always felt something was off before. Now it seemed that he had been fooled from the beginning.

"Yes, the film crew!" Hinata and the others walked up and stood with Sakura and Naruto.

"We knew about your so-called plan from the beginning. Naruto's failure in the exam was also intentional, with the aim of tricking you into falling into the trap!"

Sakura reached into her ninja tool pouch and took out a forehead protector. She said, 'Actually, Naruto's ninja exam was already approved by the Third Hokage. In other words, the previous exam at the ninja school was useless!'

'Here, put on the forehead protector...'

Sakura put the forehead protector on Naruto's head and adjusted it slightly. She was very satisfied and said, 'As expected, you look much cooler with the forehead protector on!'

Mizuki said with a sly smile on his face, 'Ha, I didn't expect to be tricked. But what can you kids do even if you know my plan? As long as I kill all of you, I can still leave Konoha with the Sealing Book!'

'It's a pity that you'll be disappointed again!' Sakura took the Sealing Book from Naruto's hand and opened it. It was empty, with no words inside. 'This so-called Sealing Book is just a fake prop from our drama group. You can't even recognize the size and appearance of the Sealing Book, yet you want to steal it?!'

The real Sealing Book is much larger than the one they have, and it is filled with ninjutsu. What they have in their hands is just an ordinary blank scroll.

'By the way, the props are provided by our Amagiri Weapons Shop!' Tenten raised a finger and gave her weapon shop a plug.
