Naruto: The Hidden Protector

51: The Necklace

It was quite late when both Naruto and Izanami came back home. They saw that they were the last to arrive. Dinner was taken care of by Nanami and Shizune. As for Tsunade, she was drinking with Shisui who had a troubled look.

It's not like Shisui hasn't had a drink before. In fact, he may have drunk a lot to relieve himself from the pressure he had to face from both the clan and the village. But even then he couldn't be a match to Tsunade who only knows how to get drunk.

Had it not been for Nanami asking him to let Shizune take a break he would have already filled this room.

But fortunately, his savior has arrived. With one look Izanami used a bit of her Conqueror's haki to intermediate Tsunade.

Tsunade who was drunk and was goofing around immediately sprung into action. Her drunkenness disappeared as she took a fighting stance. Her eyes surveyed the surroundings with a cautious look.

" Don't set a bad example in front of the kids Tsunade" Her eyes went to Izanami who spoke.

Despite Tsunade wanting to refute Izanami's words she wisely kept her silence. Izanami's eyes were very serious. If she did this again she would get punished. And Tsunade didn't want to find out what kind of punishment she would face when that happened.

Shortly after, Nanami arrived with Shizune in tow with pots filled with food. They placed the food on the table and announced, " Dinner's ready"

Everyone gathered towards the dining room to eat. After they all sat down Izanami said, " itadakimasu ". Afterward, everyone also joined as they started eating.

As soon as they took a bite they all exclaimed, " Delicious".

" Hmm it seems like you have improved your cooking skills again Nanami " Izanami praised as she relished her food. In her long life, something she was never bored of was eating tasty food.

"Thank you for the praise Matriarch, " Nanami said humbly but Izanami who knew her better than anyone knew that she was very excited.

Izanami shook her head with a helpless smile. Although Nanami looked very strict and cold, she was inwardly like a small child who liked praise. And cooking is the hobby she likes the most so she is very happy to hear any praise about her cooking.

After dinner, everyone got comfy in the living room. Since it was still a bit early to go to bed they decided to enjoy themselves by talking about how their day went by. And of course, it was Naruto who was doing the talking as he was excitedly describing the things that happened at the Uchiha clan.

Hearing this, Shisui had a complicated expression. This was especially shown when he heard about Naruto mentioning Izanami's way of taming a Uchiha clan member. Although he wanted to say that was wrong. But deep down somewhere in his mind, he knew it was correct.

While they were chatting Izanami suddenly said, " Oh right I forgot about that ". She then turned to Naruto and said, " Naruto, would you come here for a second. "

Naruto, hearing her call him, got up and went near Izanami with a curious expression. When he was near her she said, " Well would please take out that necklace for a second? "

Naruto nodded although still puzzled as to what she was doing. He didn't know when but this necklace was always with him. But even so, it isn't anything special.

But what happened next blew Naruto's mind. As soon as he took out the cross and angel-winged necklace Izanami pointed her finger at the red gem in the middle. Her hand glowed a little as a small beam of light went towards the gem from her hand.

As soon as the light touched the necklace it glowed as numerous seals began to unravel itself. Izanami swiped her hand and the seals began to glow again. And after she made some adjustments with her finger the seals once again went back to the necklace.

Naruto looked at the necklace and asked in surprise. He then asked excitedly, " Hey hey big sister did you see that, the necklace glowed and some cool symbols came out and they sparkled and..... "

As Naruto began to excitedly describe everything Izanami stopped him before he could go too far, " Now now Naruto as much as I would like to hear you describe everything you forgot about something, You forgot to ask me what this necklace does. "

" Oh right, hehe I forgot about it Dattebayo. " Naruto awkwardly said as he scratched his head.

" this kid "Izanami sighed at how simple-minded Naruto is. Hopefully, his parents may change his thinking process.

" You see this necklace is something like an ID. If you go to any shop that has this symbol on their sign boards you can buy anything from there free of charge. And it so happened that The Ichiraku Ramen shop has this symbol on their sign board. So you get what I mean right? " Izanami asked with a wide smile.

" It means I can eat Ramen as much as I want, " Naruto said excitedly with his eyes shining like stars.

"Yep, you got it, but do make sure to eat with us every three meals. Always eating Ramen is not healthy. You got that mister " Izanami said sternly.

" Yes mam, your orders are my command dattebayo, " Naruto said as he saluted.

Izanami chuckled at Naruto's behavior. She then ruffled his head and said, " Now go to bed. You have a great day ahead. "

Naruto then ran towards his room with a wide smile, He couldn't wait for it to be morning.

After Naruto went to his room a hush silence enveloped the living room. When Izanami called Naruto and unlocked the mechanism in his necklace everybody's attention was on her. Especially Nanami, Shizune, and Tsunade. They all recognized what the necklace represents.

In Japan Izanami is law. Everything she does is right . so when she orders someone to go right they should go right without any questions. Normally such a tyrannical rule will live short as the people would rebel against the king to fight for their freedom. But Izanami is an exception to this rule.

Despite her tyranny, Izanami was quite famous amongst her people. And most importantly she was wise and knew what was right and wrong. That is why no one wanted to rebel against her. No one wanted to say no to a good ruler.

But despite Izanami's qualifications, she was ultimately just one person so there is a need for someone to represent her. And that person is given this necklace. This necklace contains a bit of Izanmi's chakra so anyone who has this necklace can use her authority to do what she or he desires. And there are numerous seals placed on these necklaces that even if the necklace is stolen they wouldn't be able to misuse it.

Since these necklaces are made personally by her the number of people who had this could be counted in one hand. Currently, there are four people who have these necklaces.

One is Kaguya as she is the only blood-related family member that is currently alive. The next is Nanami who is like Izanami's secretary. The third one is Kiyomi who had no idea what she even got. And lastly is Naruto who would only find out about this after a few years.

So for now he only thinks this is a free ramen coupon he could use every day.
