Naruto: The Hidden Protector

Chapter 39



Chapter 39

After a while Naruto came out from the bathroom. He was now wearing a yukata that looked quite good on him. 

“ Now that's better, so what do you think about your new outfit?” Izanami asked with a smile. Naruto's outfit was tailored made for him. 

“ Hmm I don't know, it feels kinda weird.”  Naruto said honestly. Due almost all of his clothes being rags he doesn't know how to feel when he is given such good clothes to wear. It felt very foreign to him.  

Izanami had to smile wryly at this. It seems like she needs to give him more time to adapt to his new lifestyle before giving the gifts she has for him. 

“ Well anyway, let's go to Ichiraku. I'm sure your stomach is already feeling hungry. “ Izanami said, making him excited again. 

Then Izanami exited the mansion with a super excited Naruto. They only had to walk a few steps before they arrived at the Ramen Shop. 

Looking around Izanami saw that there were not the only ones who came to eat some ramen. There was Tsunade , Shizune and Tengen who were already digging into thier meals. And apart from them Izanami found someone unexpected. 

“ Oh I didn't expect to see you here Nanami. Did you finally decide to go on a vacation? “  Izanami asked with a raised eyebrow. 

This workaholic daughter of hers doesn't know how to take it easy at all. In fact the only times she even takes a break is when Izanami issues an order. 

Nanami didn't say anything as she was busy eating her noodles. And if Izanami didn’t know any better she would have thought Nanami didn't hear her earlier which is impossible as the second human sage her perception and hearing is top notch.

‘ Oh yeah come to think of it , doesn't that old toad sage Gamamaru  like to act as a deaf ,  senile old geezer. ‘ Izanami thought of the best actor in the world. Being a sage he is one with nature meaning his physical conditions would always be in top shape even if he is old. So why did Gamamaru act like a senile old geezer? It’s just because he wants to set the right mood to deliver his prophecies. 

“ So who is this? “ Nanami’s voice broke Izanami from her thoughts. 

“ This is your new youngest brother Naruto Uzumaki, be nice to him since he is family from now on.  “ Izanami said with a smile. 

Tsunade and Shizune, who were eating and listening to the conversation, almost choked at her words. They knew what being adopted by Izanami meant. It would mean no one would be allowed to bully him or her. Normally, this would be a good thing, but Naruto is a child who is despised and bullied by almost everyone in Konoha. Izanami doesn’t tolerate anyone mistreating her children, and when she seeks revenge, it often leads to a bloodbath.

The entire Konoha could be razed to the ground because of her anger, and it has happened before. Although Tsunade didn’t witness it herself, she had heard stories from Senju clan members in Japan. About 100 years ago, an adopted child of Izanami, who was skilled at blacksmithing, was threatened by a small ninja village and suffered severe injuries.

The consequences were immense. In just two days, the entire village was destroyed and vanished from history. Those who had harmed Izanami’s child were driven mad from the torture they suffered.

These stories circulated in Japan as warnings. They served as a reminder that anyone who dared to harm her children would face punishment from Izanami herself, and there would be no forgiveness. 

Even those who had once attempted to rebel were spared from punishment by Izanami personally, and for that, they were grateful. Despite her innocent appearance, Izanami was a terrifying individual who commanded the respect of all the major clans in Japan. How could someone with such influence not be feared?

Thinking these Tsunade made a silent prayer, ‘ Oh God please save Konoha from this disaster ‘ 

Izanami, who could discern a person's thoughts with a glance, twitched her lips at Tsunade's expression. "I'm not a heartless monster, you know," she remarked. "I only razed that village to the ground because it was filled with scum. Rapists, mass murderers, you name it. These individuals were trying to expand their territory by absorbing nearby villages and cities. They threatened my son to make them weapons to boost their combat capabilities."

"Of course, my son refused to supply them with weapons just so they could plunder innocent villagers. This rejection angered them, and they beat him mercilessly. The only reason they didn't kill him at that time was because they needed his skills to craft weapons. When I discovered this, I immediately destroyed the entire village and made sure to give some extra attention to the bastards who injured my son. As for the village disappearing from history, that occurred because the First Great Ninja War was happening at that time," she explained, not wanting to be seen in a negative light.

“Oh,” Tsunade said, though she didn't seem entirely convinced.

“It's true, you know. If Mother really was angry, raising a village to the ground is the last thing they should worry about,” Nanami added, making the situation worse.

Izanami groaned at her daughter's actions. It seemed the misunderstanding wouldn't be resolved today. She then gestured to Naruto to take a seat. Fortunately, Naruto was too absorbed in his ramen fantasies to actually hear the conversation. This was one of the things she liked about the Uzumaki—they were very simple and easy to get along with.

“ Give me the special Spicy Chicken Miso Ramen and what do you want Naruto “ Izanami asked turning to Naruto . 

“ Miso Chashu, “ Naruto exclaimed with his hands high up in the air. 

“ Well you heard the young man. get it coming Teuchi today’s a celebration for Naruto “ Izanami said with a wide grin. 

Teuchi gave a thumbs up as he said, “ Ok boss the order is coming right up “ 

And so the celebration began. Naruto as usual began his way devouring his ramen which made everyone marvel at his skills. But then they were again shocked by Izanami who also ate her ramen at a similar speed to Naruto. But unlike Naruto she was elegant and filled with grace. 

Seeing their dumbfounded looks, Nanami shook her head in resignation. ‘ If you are too shocked at this much then you might as well have your common sense broken by her after living with her for a few days.’ she thought with a little bit of amusement.
