Naruto: The Hidden Protector

70: You and I both know nothing would go right in this cursed world

Time seemed to stop for Naruto as he waited for any response. Ino, Shikamaru and Choji looked at each other before Shikamaru introduced themselves.

"What's up names Shikamaru, this is Ino and Choji. As for becoming friends, sure why not. Just don't make it such a drag " Shikamaru said as he yawned.

"Shikamaru, that's not very nice." Ino said as she glared at Shikamaru she then turned to Naruto and said with a smile" Ignore him, he is always like this. why don't you sit down first"

" Ok " Naruto said with a bit of excitement. He was super happy to meet someone who would not be disgusted by the idea of being friends with him.

After he sat down with them his attention was immediately caught by the bag of chips Choji was holding. Choji too seemed to notice his gaze as he looked at Naruto and then at the bag of chips. This went on for a few times before he hesitantly offered his bag of chips to Naruto.

"Here you can have some. There are spicy chicken flavours " Choji said with a forced smile. He really didn't like to share his chips with anyone but it would simply be too rude to Naruto if he gave him the cold shoulder.

"Thanks a lot, " Naruto said with a happy smile. He had never eaten chips before so he was simply curious about how it tasted. "Hmm this is super delicious I love it " he praised as he gave Choji a thumbs up.

"I know right there is also Beef flavoured, Cheese flavoured and ... " Choji said as he excitedly explained the different flavours to Naruto.

"Wow Shikamaru did you see that Choji is sharing his chips with someone "Ino said in amazement as she shook him violently to wake him up from his sleep.

"I can see that but Ino please stop shaking me. I'm about to faint from dizziness. " Shikamaru said as he tried his best to escape Ino's clutches.

"Oops sorry about that, '' Ino said as she realised that she might have shaken Shikamaru too much.

" Sigh, what a drag " Shikamaru said as he used the tree to save himself from the pain of falling down and hitting his nose.

" Say Naruto, tell us a bit about yourself, " Choji asked as he finished his explanation. He got too excited a bit earlier. Since Ino and Shikamaru have no interest in food he is a food lover and a bit lonely. So when Naruto passed the chips he got excited to meet another food lover.

"Me huh? Mmm My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I used to live at my apartment but now I live with big sis Izanami in her house. My favourite food is Ramen. And the ramen Uncle Teuchi make at Ichiraku Ramen is the best. " Naruto said as he wiped the drool that escaped his lips when he talked about Ichiraku Ramen.

"Ichiraku huh I heard of that place. According to my mom, their ramen is something to die for " Ino said as she joined the conversation. Although she didn't know much about food she heard of Ichiraku Ramen.

" Yeah, my parents talked about that place too. " Shikamaru too joined in. From his father, he learned that place was something they went to while he was dating my mom.

"Hey, why don't we go there now? All this talking made me crave some ramen. " Choji said as he rubbed his belly.

"That's great, I will show you the way. I'm a regular there, " Naruto said excitedly as he showed a sunny smile.

While the four of them were chatting happily, Izanami was having a conversation on her own. Next to her was Nanami who appeared there at some point.

" We have delivered the information to Tsunade. Every secret base Danzo has will be raided in a few hours. If all goes according to the plan Dazno would be arrested and be publicly executed, " Nanami said as she adjusted her glasses.

" That is true but you and I both know nothing would go right in this cursed world, " Izanami said as she narrowed her eyes.

"While that may be true with the preparation we made it would be impossible for him to escape. " Nanami said as she furrowed her brows.

" Nothing is absolute Nanami. There may be numerous ways Dazno could escape from this situation. So keep an eye on him. Even if he was caught, don't lower your vigilance. Danzo has too many experiences dealing with the darkness so he may have enough trump cards to do a comeback. "Izanami warned.

" I will take note of that matriarch, " Nanami said as she got up. Then after giving a small bow she walked towards a crowded place and disappeared within the crowd in a second.

" Well, let's wait for what will happen in the future. Zetsu and Obito still haven't made their move after all. Danzo is the perfect pawn for them to weaken Konoha. "Izanami muttered as she got up from her seat.

Then with a refreshing smile, she turned to the four kids who came running near her.

"Big sis Izanami, can we go to Ichiraku Ramen, " Naruto asked as he used his puppy dog eyes on Izanami.

Izanami chuckled and said while ruffling his hair, " Sure we can go and you don't need to use those puppy dog eyes to convince me "

And so the group of five headed towards Ichiraku Ramen. If one were to ignore Izanami's actual age they would look like five friends walking together.

While they headed towards Ichiraku Ramen on the opposite side of the park, three people walked towards the park. All of three of them had white eyes signifying their identities as Hyūga clan members.

The group consisted of two girls and one boy. If anyone who was familiar with the Naruto world they would immediately recognize two people in this group. The boy who is about 5-6 years old is the genius of the Hyūga clan, the son of Hizashi Hyūga, Neji Hyūga.

Next to him was a young girl. If one were to describe in one word that would be "a cute little rabbit '. She held the hand of the other girl who is about the same age as Neji. This girl's name is Hinata Hyūga, the eldest daughter of Hiashi Hyūga.

Leading them was a girl who is about Neji's age. If Hinata could be considered innocent then this girl could be considered mature. Although that is quite ironic considering her age this is the impression she gives to anyone who meets her for the first time.

As though sensing something the girl stopped and looked in a specific direction. Seeing her behavior Neji asked puzzled, "Is something the matter big sister? Why did you stop "

The girl shook her head and answered, "It's nothing I just felt I sensed someone familiar ". After turning around and looking at both of them in the eye she said, "Well enough that, remember why we came here. We came here to have fun. So for the rest of the day no need to keep up appearances. You can play as long as you want and of course, eat as much as you want "

" "Ok big sister " "Both Hinata and Neji nodded to her words.
