Izayoi Tsugikata is a Jounin level kunoichi of the Hidden Leaf Village, with a lost past.
She strives to get through everyday with the help of her childhood best friend Kakashi Hatake, her husband. Izayoi is given her own squad of Genin and hopes t...
I forgot to add in the Jutsu for the Morning Star swords and the picture of them in the previous two chapters, so I added them.
The Scarlet Thread will be ending soon, after the third Naruto movie and one more story arc, then we're on to Shippuden!!
Naruto's P. O. V:
I stand before Grandma Tsunade in her office a few mornings later with a stunned look on my face.
"Whaaaa?! You gotta be kidding me!! I gotta babysit those two?!" I exclaim as I point to Akemi and Ken, standing with their parents beside the Hokage's desk.

Tsunade smiles as she confirms, "You do. Kakashi and Izayoi have to go on a mission outside the village for the entire day, and pretty much everyone else is on their own mission right now. You are the only one available, apart from a couple of others. But Izayoi insisted that you be the one to babysit her children for the day."
I jerk my stunned face to the pretty redhead who's smiling innocently at me. She comes over and crouches a bit to be level with and holds up her hand to cup her mouth as she whispers in my ear, "Please, Naruto? I asked for you because I know you're the only one in this whole village who's capable enough to protect my babies for me." She leans back and rests her hands on her knees. "Normally, I'd ask Team 9 to babysit, but like Tsunade-sama said, they're all out on missions. So, you're the only one left to do it. Please?"
She gives me such a pleasing look that I struggle t get anymore protests out. Especially due to what she said about me being the only one capable enough for this "mission."
I open my mouth to try to protest, but the pleading look on her face stops me. I slump my shoulders and groan. "Alright, fine! Since you asked, Izayoi Sensei, I'll do it."
She gives me a closed eye smile as she chimes happily, "Thank you, Naruto! Your reward will be ramen bought by me and Kakashi." The silverette starts at this as my own eyes light up.
"Really?!"
"Really," Izayoi confirms, nodding her head as she straightens.
"Then you've gotta deal! I'll babysit Akemi and Ken all day and make sure nothing even touches them!!" I say fiercely as I hold up a clenched fist. Oh, boy! Free ramen bought by both Sensei's!! I'm so looking forward to it!
Grandma Tsunade smiles before we're all dismissed and I follow the Hatake family out of the tower to the main gate of the village to see them off. I also was given a bunch of D Ranked missions by Grandma Tsunade that I have to do too.
I watch with a smile as Izayoi hugs and kisses the foreheads of both her children, and Kakashi Sensei does the same.
"Now, here's the spare key to our apartment and there's a list of instructions on the refrigerator," Izayoi tells me as she hands me the house key which I tuck safely in my pants pocket. "Akemi may be in the Ninja Academy but she's been trying since she was four, and Ken is about to start his own training, so they're allowed to do that. The first aid kit is under the bathroom sink if you need it, and—"
