Naruto: The Hidden Protector

11: May Konaha rest in peace

" Now now Nanami dear, don't scare them too much, " Izanami said, calming Nanami down a little. The tense atmosphere began to gradually calm down at her words. She then said to everyone present,

"Don't worry about Naruto, although I don't know whether it was Konoha's luck or destiny he would not destroy Konoha just because of his hardships.... probably. " She sounded unsure at the end.

" Ahh, why is that matriarch? " It was Kazuma who asked this question. Although the Uzumakis are passive in nature that doesn't mean they are saints. They react more violently than the Uchiha.

Izanami scratched her nose while saying, "Well you see Naruto is kind of special. He is the spirit inheritor of my second brother's chakra. So ahh that would normally make him quite hard to rally. "

" Wait, you said normally that would mean something changed, " Sachiko, who caught on to this little detail, asked hesitantly. He has a very bad feeling about this.

" Well you see I may have added a function for Naruto to communicate with his parents when he is asleep or in a very sticky situation, " Izanami said looking away.

The room went silent. Everyone looked at Izanami with wide eyes. She might have doomed Konoha before any nation invaded it.

While many may forget it, Minato Namikaze is a scary guy when he is angry. There was a reason why two of the ninja villages ordered their ninja to retreat when they encountered him. And it's not just because he is the fastest ninja, it is because he will hunt them down till he is finished with them.

There was just one time when a rock shinobi attacked one of his teammates and managed to injure him to the point where he had to retire as a ninja. Although the higher-ups at that time didn't want to take revenge for this since they managed to get a better deal somehow, Minato didn't take this lightly.

He disguised himself entered the black market and began his hunt. He hunted everyone who was in that party. He even went further and killed off the people who were indirectly involved in this matter. Turns out this incident was a setup as this teammate of his was a distant Senju. If the Third Ninja hadn't started Mianto would have gone further in his investigation and killed Danzo and Hiruzen due to their involvement.

This is how scary Minato can be. And this information is only known to three factions. Iwagakure and Kumogakure due to their involvement in this incident. And lastly, Japan who manages the underworld.

Minato goes to such lengths to a teammate he cares for and imagines what he will do when he sees how the village is treating his son.

' May Konaha rest in peace ' everyone prayed in their hearts knowing what Minato would do to Konoha. And they wouldn't be shocked to hear that Minato resurrected himself to carry out his revenge. He is a one-in-a-million genius after all. He just needs enough time and resources.

Seeing everyone like they were about to hear Konaha's destruction any minute now Izanami's lips twitched. She was about to say that Naruto would lose his memories in the morning to escape from suspicion of the third Hokage. And Minato wouldn't do anything to Konoha till Naruto graduated. But she held her silence as a new plan began to form in her mind. She has been quite bored lately so she was thinking of going on a vacation. And she might just be able to pull it off.

She seriously said, " Nanami make some arrangements for me to leave Japan for the next few years. "

Nanami asked in surprise, "Where might you go matriarch"

Izanami cheerfully said, " Of course, I'm going to Konoha. Someone has to make sure it doesn't self-destruct after all. "

"Haaah "Everyone was dumbfounded at her words.

After much persuasion from everyone, Izanami's trip was delayed for a few years. Even Kazuma tried to persuade her to cancel the trip. It's not that they wanted to keep Izanami from leaving, it's just that there were too many things she needed to do before they could let her wander around.

Japan isn't the only territory they have in this world. As someone who lived in this world for centuries, Izanami has many businesses and other hidden territories. And although most of them are self-sufficient she still needs to make the final decision for many things.

For example, The black market which is controlled by the Rushifa clan needs her advice on how they should operate in various nations. Do they need to suppress the hidden ninja villages or should they suppress the daimyo? These important decisions are made by Izanami since last month's orders may not be suitable for the next month.

And that's only talking about the black market. There are numerous businesses that Izanami controls. Each business could make waves in the ninja world if they were not handled carefully. For example, the Uzumaki live off selling their seals in the black market. If they are not careful the world economy may crumble because of them.

" Uggg I'm kinda starting to regret setting up all of this " Izanami grumbled as she sank into her office chair.

After the meeting was over they all dispersed to their own workplaces. Many new decisions came up in this meeting after all. And as respectable leaders, they have to make sure their departments and clans are notified without any delay.

And Izanami had to go and start doing her preparations to leave Japan. She needs to make a suitable background for her to legally stay in Konoha since being an orphan is more dangerous than illegally staying in Konoha.

Well fortunately she has her lovely secretary who will take care of that. If not for her Izanami would have to do twice as many preparations as she is doing now.

" I'm really happy that you are my secretary Nanami chan " Izanami said to Nanami who appeared in her office.

This unexpected praise made Nanami who came to report something slightly off guard. Her ears began to turn red. Although she might appear strict and serious she is unexpectedly very shy to sudden compliments.

Of Course, this is only known to two people, one being Vali who often works with her while the other being Izanami. Only these two know her secret as she can't make them disappear or threaten them. Fortunately, no poor soul managed to uncover her secret till now.

Nanami quickly regained her calm when she saw the teasing look in Izanami's eyes. She sighed and said, " Matriarch here is a report that might interest you "

" Hmm, what could that be? " Izanami asked aloud as she took the report from Nanami's hand. Reading it her expression froze. She read it again just to be sure.

Rubbing her forehead she asked, "Hey Nanami can I get my vacation tomorrow? You can be the next village chief so I can retire peacefully "

Nanami ignored her words and said, " Matriarch just clean your own mess "

Izanami sighed as she said "Figures. Hey Nanami I will head out for a bit, be a dear, and finish some of my paperwork. " And without letting Nanami reply Izanami sank into the shadows.

Nanami just sighed as she walked towards the village head's seat. She sat on it and began to see what she had to do, " Honestly mother, you should really be glad that I'm your daughter. " She complained as she began doing the rest of the paperwork.
