Naruto: The Hidden Protector

Chapter 17

“ Must you really go away at a time like this matriarch? “ Nanami asked in a tone laced with accasperation and resignation. 

Although Izanami didn’t specify the true reason she wanted to stay in Konoha , Nanami knew that she just wanted to slack off from her duties. And in Japan, although it seems peaceful at a glance, the truth is far from that. 

The majority of Japan’s population is made from the clans that were on the brink of extinction from all around the world. So they all hold different ideals and values that may contradict each other. In fact in the warring state period it wasn’t uncommon for the clans who recently migrated here to make trouble.  

But all those trouble makers were dealt with by Izanami. In fact it isn’t wrong to say Izanami went to their clan compound and beat the shit out of every member with an inflated ego. Showed her dominance and made them submit to her rule whether they like it or not.  

In fact most clan leaders are now selected by this method. After all you need strength to defend and control your own clan right. The exception to this rule is when selecting the department heads. The department heads are not chosen because of their strength . They are chosen simply because they are the best at their jobs. And unlike clan leaders the department heads are protected by the Yokai corp so no one could put pressure on them. And even if by chance the department head and the clan leader get into an argument it will be solved by Izanami herself.  

In Japan Izanami’s rule is the law. If she tells them to go left they go left. Don’t be fooled by how Izanami normally behave around each other. As a monster that even her brothers fear, how could she be less of a monster than her own father. 

“ Yes Nanami, I need to go. You know the Uchiha and Konoha are now at each other's throats . I can’t just let one of my brother’s clan be destroyed because of a silly civil war “ Izanami said with a serious tone. 

Sure she could be using this as an excuse to go on a vacation but that didn’t mean she would shy away from her responsibilities because of that. Unlike what she remembered, the Uchiha and Konoha higher ups seemed to have an even more strained relationship than they had in canon. 

The village higher ups openly despise them to the point where they scowl at them in public. Even Danzo didn’t need to do anything too drastic to fuel the fire. He just occasionally made the root ninjas cause trouble for the Uchiha. 

The only reason they didn’t go to war is because Hiruzen held his ground on not provoking the Uchiha. He even specifically ordered his clan to not cause any trouble.   

“ And besides me going there might as well keep the other villagers in check. “ Izanami said with a mischievous smile. 

Seeing her smile, Nanami had a bad feeling. And she usually gets this feeling when her adopted mother decides to make chaos. 

“Sigh,  please keep the damage to a minimum” she finally said knowing that her mother is not going to listen to her at this point.

“ So are we going back the same way we came here? “ Tsunade asked as Izanami came near them. 

During her stay here Tsunade managed to regain her strength. But due to her illness she still couldn’t see blood. But unlike before where would faint with the scent of blood now she could at least think calmly for a few minutes before she gets dizzy. 

But unlike Tsunade Shizune was the one who benefited most these past few years.  Not only did she manage to improve her chakra control she also managed to improve medical knowledge.  In japan there are few clans who research medicinal herbs after all. She also managed to improve her surgical knowledge after working in one of the hospitals in Japan. 

“ Hmm we can use that method too but …” Izanami said as she began to ponder. 

“ But what , do you have any other methods to get to Konoha much faster? “ Tsunade asked in annoyance. ‘ If you are going to say something then just say it without delaying it . it is annoying to wait for the next part after you become curious ‘ She thought internally. 

Izanami gave them a big smile and asked innocently, “ Have you ever flew at the speed of sound “ 

“ “ Huh “ “  was the collective response from both Tsunade and Shizune.

“ Hahahaha I really missed this feeling” Izanami laughed as she rode on her Latios. 

If you are wondering how a legendary Pokemon appeared in this world ? The answer is fairly simple actually. 

Izanami has worked hard and efficiently  for the last few centuries so as the good boss Mr. Joy is,  he gave Izanami many bonuses. And since she actually doesn't get paid the bonus tends to come as random wishes. 

And in one of her random wishes she managed to get a ticket to enter the pokemon world. And as a hard core outaku how could she not catch a pokemon when she was given a chance to visit them. 

And she did just that. Due to her stay being only limited to 3 years she only managed to capture and befriend 75 pokemon. If she was given more time she could potentially capture more species. 

And the Pokemon she caught were given their own small world for them to enjoy. Honestly, the place Izanami made them is way better than their old homes.  And truth be told most of these pokemon she captured were rescued by her or they themselves came to her. 

As a person who practises senjutsu her affinity with Pokemon's is off the charts. It could even be considered unfair as even the most cautious Pokemons let their guard down when with Izanami. 

While Izanami was enjoying her time, Tsunade and Shizune, who were also riding a pokemon, were holding it tightly in fear of falling down. The one they are riding is a Latias. And even when Izanami said that they won’t fall down, these two find it hard to believe it due to the speed they are going at. 

After flying for an hour Izanami finally saw the borders for the land of Iron. “ We are almost at our destination so Latias and Latios let's speed things up hahahaha  “  Izanami said as the two pokemon increased their speed. 

Tsunade and Shizune, who were barely holding it back, screamed as the speed increased. ‘  why the hell did you say to increase the speed if we are near the destination , shouldn’t it be the other way around.’ They both thought , as they tried to stay conscious.
