Naruto: The Hidden Protector

90:THE AUCTION



90:THE AUCTION

Today, the Konoha streets were extremely lively, even with the sun already set. Most of the streets were filled with high-profile individuals, all walking and chatting happily. Whether they were well-known businessmen or clan elders, everyone with power in Konoha could be seen heading toward a single destination.

And that destination is the newly opened Red Fox auction house. The new auction house that was built recently. Due to almost every high-ranking individual coming here, the security was very tight.

The police department took this matter very seriously as everyone knew what would happen if they displeased the owner of this establishment. So as to ensure everything was okay they mobilized almost a quarter of their own troops to this place.

And with them keeping public safety everything was very peaceful. The invites just had to show their invitation and then they could enter without any problem. As for troublemakers they were swiftly dealt with and escorted to a prison cell.

While everything was happening so smoothly outside, inside the auction house in a special VIP room Izanami observed everything with her observation Haki. She made sure to memorize those troublemakers who were being escorted to prison cells.

She knew who these people were as there were only a few people who would dare to cause trouble for her. And those are the two corrupt elders.

Yes after Tsunade took over Konoha their influence was severely weakened. Especially Hiruzen who lost almost everything. Especially after the scandal where all of his silent support was shown to the whole world.

Although the reports didn’t show any of his involvement in Danzo’s crimes but ninja clans are not fools. How could Danzo do all of that without him knowing? If that was totally true and he actually didn’t know anything wouldn’t things be even worse?

As the Hokage he didn’t know what his assistant was doing under his back wouldn’t that clearly show how incompetent he is?

So in short Hiruzen lost almost all of his support from the major clans. And with him, his two dear friends also came down with him. Without him or Danzo holding the fort, how could those two clowns keep their authority?

Their only saving grace was that Tsunade didn’t revoke their status as elders. But even so, they don’t have any departments as Tsunade took over everything. Their only duty is to come to the Hokage Office and give their suggestions if Tsunade ever asked them.

And with their high pride, they didn’t like this at all. Originally Izanami was thinking of letting them go since they are harmless but with these actions, she decided to teach them a lesson.

‘ It seems it is time for Shisui to initiate his hunt ‘ Izanami thought as a very dangerous light passed through her eyes. Shisui has been learning from Nanami about the art of silent assassination. And this seems to be a very good assignment for him.

And Silent assassination isn't like your original assassination where you sneak up on a guy and slit his throat. In Silent Assination you will kill a guy without anyone knowing he was killed.

For example, you will put a poison in his drink that will only get active when he comes closer to something very specific. You could even make it so that he or she would be killed in a natural cause like a heart attack.

Although she won’t let them get killed she would make sure they would be hospitalised at the very least. Living in content fear is way worse than dying silently. Especially for Old people like them who have a very fragile ego.

What Izanami wanted to do was scare the shit out of these two fools or maybe make it so that they would get a very bad stomach ache if they ever come closer to the Hokage Office.

“ You should stop smiling like that or kids will cry “ A voice said breaking Izanami out of her dark thoughts. Turning around she saw that it was Tsunade who was talking to her.

Izanami rolled her eyes and retorted, “ Please you're the last person who is qualified to teach me about this subject. I mean look at you, the auction house didn't even start yet you are already starting to drink. “

“ Please I never considered myself a role model” Tsunade retorted as she took a big sip of her wine. “ And besides I didn't get to drink due to all the work for the past few days “ she said as she took another sip.

Looking at her like this Izanami was speechless. If one didn't know they would think that Tsunade didn't get an ounce of wine for the past few weeks.

But Izanami knew that this girl always drank a full barrel every time she came back from work.

“ So did you really have some good stuff for this auction house?” Tsunade suddenly asked as she looked at Izanami.

Izanami raised one eyebrow as she questioned, “Didn't you read that item catalogue I gave you when I came to get that permit? “

“ Of course not, I'm too lazy to read that, and besides you will never take a no for an answer so I figured it isn't worth the hassle, “ Tsunade said, making Izanami for a moment consider bringing back Mito from the dead to educate this girl.

Tsunade inherited Hashirama’s will perfectly. She is as irresponsible as he is.

“ Sigh here at least read this now “At the end Izanami sighed as she just handed Tsunade one of the spare catalogues that were placed in the room.

Taking the catalogue, Tsunade read through it for a while before looking at Izanami with a serious expression. “ Hey Izanami, answer me honestly. Are you asking for trouble? “

“ No, not partially why though,” Izanami asked as she tilted her head. She didn't understand why Tsunade got all serious all of a sudden.

“ Then tell me why the hell are you auctioning off Jutsu scrolls. Even more, why the hell are there very unique sealing scrolls ” Tsunade shouted as she looked at Izanami with a glare.

Jutsu scrolls are very rare. Most ninjas would only get to master one or two jutsus due to how rare they are. For a clan ninja, they would need to make some connections to go through their libraries to read Jutsu scrolls.

And for commoner ninjas, they would at least need to make some serious contributions to even borrow some D-rank jutsus.

Even when someone is assigned a Jonnin Sensei that person necessarily doesn't need to teach them some ninjutsu.

As students, killing their masters for Jutsus is a common thing in this world. So unless you are absolutely sure no one would teach one's Jutsus to another.

And with Izanami auctioning off some Jutsu scrolls, that's just asking for trouble. Not to mention sealing tags that are more rare than jutsu scrolls.

Due to Fuinjustu being very uncommon with ninjas, these sealing scrolls are like trouble magnets.

Tsunade wouldn't even be surprised if there was a bloodbath due to many parties wanting specific sealing scrolls.
