Inu, I, Hitsuji…

There was a small poof. When the smoke cleared, you found that you had accidentally mistaken the hand seals for the clone jutsu with the transformation jutsu. You inspected yourself, realizing that somehow, you had transformed into Iruka-sensei. Mizuki gave you a strange look, but refrained from commenting. You blushed and turned back into your original self, mentally berating yourself for making such a foolish mistake.

"G-gomenasai," you squeaked, wondering if your sensei was going to fail you for this. Iruka just stared at you oddly for a long time.

"[Name] has demonstrated her ability to perform the clone technique many times before in the past. Perhaps you should allow her to retry. A second time won't hurt, especially given her potential," Mizuki purred, tilting his head towards his colleague. Iruka blinked once, then cleared his throat.

"Ah, yes. [Name], if you would kindly try again…"

Relief flooded your limbs. You watched Mizuki's strained smile suspiciously and clasped your hands together. You were sure he was up to something, but now wasn't the time to ponder. Racking your brains for the correct sequence of hand seals, you muttered, "Bunshin no jutsu…" and tried a second time.

Hitsuji, Mi, Tora…? Go to Chapter 10.

You really don't remember. Go to Chapter 11.
