Naruto: The Hidden Protector

86: Can I go with you

Izanami hummed a tune as she walked out of the orphanage. She was in a very good mood since she managed to make Nono agree to her proposal.

Truth be told the real reason she wanted to help Nono was actually very simple. Nono reminded Izanami of herself. She too cared for her children deeply even if they had no blood connection to her.

And what’s more, Izanami felt that Nono was a very pitiful character. Had it not for Danzo screwing things up she would still be living a happy life with Kabuto and the rest of the kids.

‘Speaking of Danzo I wonder what that guy is up to these days. The last time I heard about him he was near the Land of Rain. Did he go to Amagakure to seek shelter from Hanzo? Well, I doubt he would come alive if he actually went there. Nagato’s surveillance technique is quite ingenuous if I say so myself. ‘ Izanami thought as she took her smartphone to check whether her guess was correct.

After a while, her expression turned strange as put away her phone. She didn’t what to say after reading the latest information the youkai members got on Danzo.

It turns out that Danzo somehow managed to secure a base of operations in the Land of Wind near the borders Land of Rain. And he was now in the process of making a new ninja village similar to how Orochimaru was doing.

In fact, calling it a ninja village is wrong as it looked like a cult at first glance. Danzo seemed be wanting to create a batch of death warriors as he began to brainwash some poor civilians to start a cult.

Every now and then he would select some talented people and brand them with the curse seal. And of course, he also gave them some good training manuals that would allow him to train his army. As for the funds to run this cult he seemed to use the nearby mine that he found and purposely kept it secret from the village.

‘ Should I give away Danzo’s location to Nagato? ‘ Izanami thought seriously. She didn’t expect Danzo would go this path. She thought he would go into hiding in one of his bases while trying to increase his influence through the remaining root ninjas.

After all, this is his usual way of doing things. That bastard is the person who wants to use his tools to do everything for him. She never expected him to be this active.

Of course, she didn’t fear Danzo as she could kill him with her eyes closed. What she is worried is about the civilians who would be brainwashed into doing his dirty work. Although she isn’t a saint she didn’t want innocents to get caught up in this.

After thinking for a bit she decided to let Shisui go there. That guy has been very idle these days. So it's time he does some exercise every very often. And this would be a good mission for him.

His Eternal Mangekyou abilities are quite suitable for this. After all, now he could use Kotoamatsukami without any cooldown. In addition, he also has another new ability which is quite similar to Aizen’s Kyōka Suigetsu.

So in mental manipulation, no one can beat Shisui. That is unless he does something foolish again and goes around explaining his abilities.

Thinking of this possibility Izanami quickly messaged Nanami and told her to go with Shisui to where Danzo is hiding. As for whether they could kill or make him go on the run again is up to them. Although Danzo is a very valuable piece for her upcoming plan he isn’t a very important one.

“ I’m home, “Izanami said as she opened the door to her house.

“Welcome back big sis Izanami “ Naruto shouted as he ran towards her and gave her a big hug. Although Naruto wasn’t that lonely when he was a year he still clings to Izanami at every given chance.

Izanami ruffled his hair and asked, “So Naruto how was school? Did you make new friends yet? “

Although school has been going on for the last few days Naruto wasn’t able to make new friends. The civilian kids still believed the rumor about the demon fox and kept their distance from him. Even Izanami’s presence didn’t help as these villagers are too stupid and only know how to follow the trend. As for the clan kids they have yet to officially start school.

Due to civilian kids not knowing the shinobi world they are needed to be taught the basics of basics at school. So clan kids are excluded from attending these classes as it would be pointless for them since they are taught about this at a young age.

Of course, they could also attend class as no one is forbidding them. But in the entire ninja world who would like to go to school just to listen to some boring lessons they already know since they were young?

So unfortunately Naruto had to go to school alone without any of his friends. And he was a little sad about it.

“ no those guys still don’t want to talk to me, “ Naruto said as he complained. Izanami could see the sadness in his eyes.

“You know you could also skip school for this month and attend class with the rest of your friends. “ Izanami said as she looked at him.

Although one might say this is irresponsible Izanami didn’t really care as she could always homeschool Naruto. She didn’t want him to suffer due to loneliness again. So she had proposed this to Naruto earlier but he unexpectedly refused.

“ No, I want to try making some more friends. I don’t want to run away every time things get hard “was Naruto’s reply as he looked at her with determination.

Since he is this determined Izanami stopped trying to persuade him. Although she knew it would be impossible she just wanted him to at least have hope. After all this Naruto had his parents with him so he won’t feel like he was abandoned like it was in the original story.

“No, I know they would finally talk to me. “Naruto said stubbornly as he shook his head.

“Anyway big sis is it true that you will be opening a new auction house next week? “Naruto asked curiously as he looked at Izanami.

“Yes I originally wanted to rent an existing auction house but who knew the great Konoha doesn’t have an auction house. So I had no choice but to build one myself “Izanami sighed.

Building that auction house wasn’t cheap. She had to issue a huge commission to Yamato so he could build the building with his wood release. Originally he wanted to reject the mission as he had never built a building with a complex design like the one Izanami wanted but money does make wonders. After she directly doubled the price that guy finished the whole construction work in less than two days without any rest.

“Hey, Big sis Izanami I was just wondering can I also come with you when the auction house is opened. “ Naruto asked shyly.
