Naruto: The Hidden Protector

Chapter 33



Chapter 33

"Damn these teenagers these days, always thinking suicide is the best option," Izanami cursed as she brought the now blind Shisui to safety, just in time before he hit the water.

After covering her traces from the previous incident, Izanami directly dashed towards the place where she sensed Shisui and Itachi were.

Yes, like in the original story, Itachi managed to reach Shisui in time. In fact, he located Shisui when he was in his Susano fending off the Root members. Uchiha clan members instinctively feel the presence of the Susano if they are close enough. This is especially true for Itachi, who is a true Uchiha. Susano is something they can achieve through their bloodline, after all.

After finding Shisui, Itachi was about to go and help him, but Izanami acted before he could. She didn't believe Itachi could handle all those Root members while protecting Shisui. He still lacked enough fighting experience, even though he is at jonin level.

So, with Izanami distracting every Root member, Itachi managed to rescue Shisui away from the battleground. The only reason they didn't rush to a hospital is because of Danzo. That man won't let Shisui live another day, after all.

So, like in the original story, they went to the cliff where they usually train since, for the time being, it is a good spot for rest. And, like the brain-dead idiot Shisui is, he didn’t think of a way to get revenge and instead tried to commit suicide after traumatizing his best friend.

As the only person who has a brain, Izanami had to save the idiot before he went to the pure land and gave her more trouble.

Izanami sighed as she detoxified Shisui after placing him on the bed. They are now in a room inside Izanami's mansion. This is the best place she could take him without anyone noticing. Sending him to Japan is just asking for trouble. She was sure Nanami would beat the shit out of him as soon as he regained consciousness. Kagami Uchiha, Shisui’s grandfather, was her best friend after all.

So, she naturally kept tabs on Shisui. So, after finding out how easily he was brainwashed, it left a sour taste in her mouth. Further, if he realizes the real reason he was attacked today, well, it would be better for him to die with ignorance than face her wrath. 

After half an hour, Shisui began to show signs of regaining consciousness. The poison was exceptionally potent, causing him to pass out as soon as he began to fall. Thus, the fact that he was even able to talk to Itachi without showing any signs of pain was already a miracle.

“You shouldn't try to get up so soon, Shisui. With you losing your eyes and the aftereffects of the poison, your body simply can't handle the strain,” Izanami warned when she saw Shisui trying to get up from the bed.

“Who are you? Am I dead? Is this the Pure Land?” Shisui asked as he tried to sense his surroundings. Even though he lost his eyes, he is still a great sensor.

“I'm what you call a shinigami. Yes, you died, and no, this isn't the Pure Land,” Izanami said, deciding to have some fun.

“Huh, is somewhere else other than the Pure Land for the dead to go?” Shisui asked in surprise. He was strangely calm for some reason and more curious than ever. Maybe dying changed his mentality.

“Of course there is. The Pure Land is just one place a soul could enter. For example, there is the shinigami's realm, where souls who made the contract with the shinigami go. There is also the demon world, where souls with too much negative karma or whose souls were too corrupted go,” Izanami explained with a serious expression. She wasn't lying about this.

The Pure Land is where most souls gather, so it is widely spread amongst mortals that it is the only place where they would go after death. But that isn't entirely true. For example, Minato, who died using the Reaper Death Seal, went to the Shinigami's Realm instead of the Pure Land.

Hidan, known for his immortality, sold his soul to Jashin, another shinigami. So due to his soul being claimed by another person, he wouldn't die until his current body couldn't contain his soul. That is why even when his head was cut, he didn't die. His body was still housing his soul, after all.

But if he gets in contact with a soul-destroying jutsu, then he would be killed without even trying. No one is perfect, after all. And in Japan, there are numerous clans who specialize in soul arts.

“So, since you are a Shinigami, I presume I'm in the Shinigami's Realm,” said Shisui.

“Well, no. The place where you are now is called Konoha, the village that is going to ruin due to four people,” Izanami said, making Shisui stand up immediately.

But due to not being familiar with the surroundings and with the lack of sight, he fell down immediately.

Seeing this, Izanami sighed again. “Sigh, did you really have to do that? You know if this floor didn't have a soft surface, you would most likely break your nose due to that fall. And that means more work for me,” she asked with a bit of resentment.

Does this guy have to make her do more work? She just wanted to raise Naruto and keep the higher-ups in check with her influence. She isn't here to work overtime like in Japan.

After complaining for a bit more she helped Shisui back into his bed. After making sure he didn’t get hurt during the fall she continued, “ rest for now tomorrow I will answer all your questions, Oh and friendly reminder if you somehow go out of this house and get caught again by Danzo’s men I won’t be coming to help you. So don’t do something and make the situation more worse “ 

Saying those words izanami left the room. She has to get some sleep since tomorrow she has many important things to do.
