Naruto: The Hidden Protector

“Are you sure it is a good idea to give him that much authority, Matriarch? “ Nanami asked as she looked at Izanami. Normally she wouldn’t question Izanami’s decisions but she couldn’t help it this time. You could mobilise the entire Japan with that necklace. And that much power is given to a 4 year old brat.

No matter how much you look at it this is definitely a bad decision. So Nanami was puzzled as to why her mother would even do that.

Hearing her daughter's question Izanami sighed as she spoke, “ well I have several reasons. For once it is for Naruto’s protection. With him having that no hidden village would be allowed to harm him as the Yokai members would make sure of that. And secondly it is what I promised to give to him after the deal I made with Minato and Kushina. “

“ What deal? “ Tsunade asked, puzzled.

Izanami looked at the moon and answered , “ In return for the custody of Naruto I will do my utmost best to give him a stable life where he will have enough protection to even come out of a war unharmed. “

Tsunade stood up from her seat in shock. Did she hear that right? Coming out of a war without even getting harmed. Is that even possible? In the battlefields status doesn’t matter. What one needs the most is the ability to survive.

Seeing Tsunade’s doubtful gaze Izanami chuckled and added, “ You know unlike the other hidden villages japan has been there for more than 100 years. And if it really came to a war with the other hidden villages Japan would win without any difficulties even when all the hidden villages come together. “

This is something Izanami is confident in. She has made sure Japan residents while valuing peace still kept up with their training. The strongest fist rules everything so Izanami made sure her island is one the strong fist side. And with her efforts she made a terrifying village that would be able to win the Fourth Great Ninja war by itself. Of course that is the premise Madara isn’t on the battlefield.

Since he is Izanami’s student she made sure to train him for everything. And when she meant everything she meant it literally. No matter what is thrown at him he is able to survive. It could be said that unless it is Hashirama who is serious no one could hold Madara down.

Tsunade still couldn’t believe such a claim. So she looked at Nanami who nodded her head in confirmation. And with that all her doubt was cleared. She finally looked at Izanami and said, “ I pity the people who would become your enemy. “

“ Huh “ Izanami was puzzled at the sudden statement. Did she say something that Tsunade view her as a monster?. Izanami looked at Nanami for help but her stupid daughter just sipped her tea completely ignoring her mother.

Naruto woke up suddenly. Looking around he saw that he was not in his new room. And what's more he seems to be floating on water.

He looked around with a bit of puzzlement and fear. Did someone kidnap him and throw him in this gloomy space?. His mind rang with these thoughts as he looked at his surroundings to see a way to go back home.

But everywhere he looked he only found one thing. And that is never ending sewer. Naruto panicked as he found himself stranded in this place.

He was about to cry when he heard a rustling sound in one direction. Curiously he walked towards the location that sound was coming from.

He didn't know whether it was his imagination but the closer he gets ,the more heavy his body feels.

When he finally arrived at his destination he saw a massive shrine-like cage. The cage's doors are secured by a sheet of parchment with "seal" (封) written on it, behind which is the cage's lock. The bars of the cage are far enough apart for Naruto to walk between them.

As Naruto was looking at the cage in wonder he suddenly heard a growling sound. Inside the cage two red lights suddenly appeared. “ You sure have a lot of courage to appear before me, brat. “ a gruff and rough voice filled with dense killing intent rang out.

Slowly the red lights which were the person’s eyes came closer to the cage door. When they were very close Naruto was able to see the appearance of the speaker. It is a red-orange coloured kitsune with black fur around its red eyes that stretch up to its ears, and nine long swiping tails. It also has an upper-body structure of a human, complete with opposable thumbs on its clawed hands.

“ Be prepared to die brat “ the fox shouted as it tried to decapitate Naruto using one of his claws. The Word here is tried as even when it managed to reach near Naruto it was suddenly blocked by a small hand.

Well small compared to giant claws but it was a slender adult’s hand. “ I see you are still as hostile to humans as ever Kurama, “ Izanami said as she blocked Kurama’s claw with her hand.

Naruto who instinctively closed his eyes when the claw was about to arrive opened his eyes when he heard the familiar voice. But what puzzled him was instead of the childlike appearance Izanami had she now looked like a beautiful woman who was in her twenties.

Unable to recognize her, Naruto asked innocently , “ Aunty are you big sis izanami’s mother ? “

Izanami chuckled at his words. She then shook her head and answered, “ No Naruto, I'm still your big sis Izanami. It’s just that I’m in my adult form. “

Naruto’s eyes shined at her explanation. He then excitedly asked, “ Wow that’s so cool. Can I do it too? Big sis Izanami teach me teach me “

“ Now Naruto don’t get too excited. You just learned how to harness chakra yesterday. You need to practise hard if you want to do this trick. And if you train hard I will teach you this technique in the future.“ Izanami said, making Naruto deflate a little bit. But then he cheered up again after hearing the last part.

While they were having such a lively conversation Kurama snapped back to reality. While it was shocking that a human could stop its claws with just physical strength alone. But more than that it had a way more pressing matter to ask, “ How are you still alive big sister Izanami “

Hearing Kurama’s question izanami gave a V sign and said, “ well of course it is because i’m a genius “

Kurama almost stumbled back when he heard her answer. He forgot that dealing with this person is more troublesome than dealing with Shikaku. As unlike Shikaku who he could subdue with its strength this person is way out of his lead. If he had to guess he would need at least someone near the old man’s level to deal with her.

“ Argg, it's nice seeing you again, big sister, “ Kurama said grumbling. He then asked “ So why are you here in this prison? Did you come here to free me “

Izanami chuckled and answered, “ Well Kurama Naruto here is my new adopted family member. So I came here to let him meet his parents while remodelling this place a bit “
