Naruto: The Hidden Protector

Chapter 2

There is a saying that says ‘ when one ages the more his intelligence grows ‘ but now I'm  seriously doubting this saying. 

Hey there if you haven't already released already I am your typical  novel protagonist.  In this life my name is Izanami Otsutsuki, the daughter of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. 

Yeah shocking right. The sage of six paths is my dad. Well at least in this life l had a decent childhood. 

You see, before I was reborn in this world I was a simple office worker who only managed to get a job at a third rate company that might as well sell us as slaves. 

You see, in my previous life I was an orphan at birth since my parents decided it would be a wise choice to abandon me in the hospital. Shocking right. They used fake ids and fled before even taking me. How that is possible is something I'm curious about. They didn't even give me a name before going away. 

In my childhood I dreamed of becoming a cop and finding those two but reality is often disappointing.  While I have decent athletic talent, my academic skills are not so good. Hell, I was even surprised that I got this job.  And to be a cop you need some good grades so there you have it dream shattered. 

Well putting aside my depressing past I died at the age of 35 after saving a dude who jumped to protect his kid.  Yeah I know I just don't want that kid to experience what I experienced after all. 

Although I had some regrets, I'd say my actions are worth it. If that kid gets to have another day with his parents I'd totally be satisfied. 

Too bad I couldn't finish some of the manga I just bought. Oh right before I forget I'm what you guys call an otaku. Hey, don't judge me for someone who can only spend most of his day in an office. Manga and anime are the only things that might as well be interesting. 

Well anyway before my soul entered the cycle of reincarnation it was pulled in by this guy who calls himself mr. Joy. 

He said that he is the overseer of the world of naruto and he needed someone to help him manage that world. You see in Naruto world the reincarnation cycle is barely working. Since most of the inhabitants who died with so much regret they are unable to go on. So the pure land was created to make them leave their regrets. But due to that world’s mentality the number of souls who are forever staying in the pure land increased each passing year. Mr. Joy said that it is mainly due to them going to war for the silliest reason. And what’s ,more since ninja’s fight on the borders of each land affecting the lives of the civilians making the death count way higher than it was in the official records. 

So my job is to manage the pure land without letting it overflow. In doing so Mr.Joy said that he will give me three reasonable wishes. 

And when he said reasonably what he meant is that no Op cheat power, no plunder system, no immortality, no mind control superpower. Anything in his acceptable limit will be allowed. 

Seeing that my short cut was cut off, I thought about this for a long time. And for an hour straight I asked about my new job details and such to further think about my options. 

And after careful consideration i told him my wishes, 

 My first is for an independent space that has access to the pure land where I could retreat if necessary and do my duties without any security issues.  Who knows what I will face when black Zetsu finds out about me. 

My second wish is for me to have a body that is perfect to cultivate any energy I desire. I mainly asked that since in the Naruto verse you must have a natural affinity to master Sage mode. And no sir, I will not leave that to luck. 

And my final wish is knowledge. Knowledge of every manga and anime there is. At that time I only thought that this knowledge would be useful for me to develop a fighting style and have a good trump card just in case. But it was unexpectedly more useful in the future. 

 Well anyway those wishes were granted as they are not as dangerous for a long time.  Just when I thought everything was over Mr. Joy unexpectedly handed me a piece of paper. Reading it I found out it is a contract of sorts. There were some rules I needed to follow. 

Although most of them were quite obvious such as do not destroy the reincarnation cycle , do not destroy the pure land. There were some which were quite interesting so to  say. 

They were ‘Do not interfere too much until cannon starts ‘and ‘Don’t change history too much’.

After asking, I found that while Mr, Joy expects me to change a few things, he doesn't want the overall situation to change as it would leave a time paradox and will be more of a mess to clean up.  

After that I signed the contract after reading it a few times. After that was done I was asked to choose a time for my rebirth. And I instantly said to reincarnate me in the era of the six paths. Since that era is the safest from any conflicts I was confident in my choice. 

Although Mr. Joy had said it was kind of weird for me to go to that era; he nonetheless agreed. After that with a bright light I was reincarnated in a new world.And to my surprise I was reborn as someone very special. 

I was reborn as the daughter of the sage of six paths.  Although that might sound nice it actually came with a twist. Like Indra and Ashura who inherited  his eyes and body, I also inherited one of traits. I inherited his human trait. Shocking right. We all forgot our famous six paths is actually half human.  Well anyway i really don't care about that as i could just create my own bloodline if i actually tried. A smart guy from another fanfic did it so why can’t I too. 

 Well I think it’s time for me to actually speak about the present situation as I'm about to die an honourable death. Yes you guessed it, death by suffocation from boobs.  

If I was reborn again I will tell you my whole story later.

~general Pov~ 

Just as our protagonist was about to die she was rescued by Minato. And for the first time  in her long life she felt heartfelt gratitude towards someone for a person she only met for about two minutes .  

~ Izanami Pov ~

“Thank you for your help , if you hadn’t helped me I would sure that i would have met my father today “ said Izumi as she bowed towards minato.

Minato waved his hand  and said,”please don’t think too much about it. In fact I should be the one apologising for my wife’s action. I’m truly sorry for the trouble my wife has caused “ saying so he also bowed. 

Izumi lifted her head and said softly “you really are kind. If you were born in little hashi’s era you might be the perfect hokage this village needed.”

“Huh”both Minato and Kushina had question marks on top of her heads. 

The girl smiled and said,”greetings my name is Izanami Otsutsuki the one who manages the pure land and the cycle of reincarnation” 

At first Minato and Kushina were shocked, then their shock turned to caution. They both knew that beings who managed the death are not simple. Take the shinigami for example. He could even divide the nine tails with just a casual swing. 

Looking at their cautious expressions Izunami chuckled and said “ don’t worry i’m not here to harm you. And besides, didn't  I tell you before MInato what  could I do to a dead person  even more to someone I am about to propose a deal with? “ 

“A deal “minato frowned as he asked this. 

“Yes this deal would be beneficial for both of you as well as your son, so what you guys say “Izanami asked while smiling like a devil which honestly made her only look cuter.
