Naruto: The Hidden Protector

151: The traning that is both hell and heaven part 2

"Hey, big sis Izanami, what are you are holding? " Naruto asked as his eyes sparkled with curiosity as he looked at the object in Izanami's hands.

In Izanami's hands was a box that looked very old but had beautiful wooden carvings on it if it were auctioned off as a treasure chest, no one would doubt its authenticity.

And Naruto got this weird feeling that this treasure chest is something he should have, no matter what.

Seeing that she had successfully caught Naruto's interest, Izanami smirked inwardly. She wondered how much Naruto would like this gift when he realized that there is no free lunch in this world.

'But it's a pity I won't be able to witness the chaos first hand, ' Izanami thought with a bit of disappointment. She decided to increase the effort she would put into applying for another year-long holiday after she goes back to Japan.

Yes, in Japan, even she had to give out a good reason for applying for a holiday. And although she could use her authority as the matriarch of Japan to do anything, she decided to be an example of someone following her own rules.

"Naruto, listen very closely. What I'm going to say is very important. " Izanami had a serious expression as she looked at Naruto straight in the eyes.

Seeing Izanami's serious expression, Naruto also became serious. In his mind, he wondered what was truly in that box for Izanami to be this serious.

"Naruto, you should know, ever since I took you in, I have trained you in Fuinjutsu by letting you play pranks on ninjas and those who bully you. " Izanami said, making Naruto nod in agreement.

Although Naruto isn't shouting to become Hokage like in the original timeline, he is still mischievous and is chased by all the villagers when they fall victim to his pranks. Originally, the villagers endured it since Naruto is already a wealthy young master.

But after a few days of nonstop pranking, they had had enough and went to the Hokage tower to complain.

But to their dismay, Tsunade not only did not blame Naruto, she also scolded them. What's more, she also showed them the proof of their bullying Naruto, making them shut up immediately.

All of them more or less had either bullied or thrown stones at Naruto when he was little. So, for such heartless people, Tsunade didn't even bother to defend them. In fact, they should be thankful that Izanami didn't give them a home visit because, with her temper, she would just beat them hard and throw money in their face to forget everything.

In her eyes, no matter the circumstances, bullying a little kid is wrong. And besides, don't these guys have any brain cells to know that if the nine-tailed fox is really sealed inside Naruto, then wouldn't they just be courting death by provoking him?

You know, if Naruto had Indra's chakra instead of Ashura's chakra, then Konoha would be history by now. Unlike Ashura, who is rather easy-going and too kind, Indra would definitely not stand this injustice and would destroy everything. And without Konoha having a single Kage-level ninja, no one would stop the rampaging Naruto.

Hiruzen, with his indecisiveness, would not use the Reaper death seal because Konoha cannot lose the nine tails. Danzo would stay in his Root base or with the Uchiha clan territory, trying to sow discord.

As for the others, forget it. None of the other ninja clans has enough firepower to deter a tailed beast. They could just increase the casualty rate and barely make Kurama leave Konoha. And besides, with most of the sealing arts being distributed amongst the Sarutobi and Shimura clans, this is their last option.

"Naruto, the reason why I allow you to hone your talent and skills by pranking others is because I want you to take up a special inheritance. With this inheritance, I guarantee that you would be able to surpass Hashirama in just a few years, " Izanami said with a smile.

"Really?" Naruto asked with shock and joy. Even though he didn't want to become the Hokage, as a child, he did not like to have the strength that surpassed the First Hokage.

"Yes, and this inheritance is inside this box. This box is what I call Pandora's box. After you open it, you will be able to take over the inheritance that I talked about. But be warned after you take over this inheritance. You will be under some restrictions. And trust me, the training from now on will be much harder.

So tell me, Naruto, are you ready to accept this? " Izanami asked as she looked at Naruto with a dead serious expression.

" Yes, " Naruto didn't hesitate as he nodded. Just kidding, although Izanami said there are some restrictions, all these are negotiable for him. Who told him to be the younger master, Naruto, who is doted on by the big, powerful Izanami?

"Well ..." Izanami, who could more or less guess what was in Naruto's mind, was speechless. She never imagined her making Naruto a young master would have this kind of an effect.

'Well, at least he knows how to behave, so let's just agree to any demand that is reasonable,' Izanami thought as she handed the box to Naruto.

Naruto excitedly took and opened it without any pretense.

A bright light came out of the box, blinding him for a moment.

When the bright light disappeared, Naruto could finally see what was inside the box. But when he looked down, his expression turned weird.

Inside the box, there was a jade slab, a ninja scroll, and a booklet that seemed to have 1000 pages.

"Congratulations, Naruto, you have now accepted the inheritance of one of the few people I respect. For you to get this inheritance, I even had to sell my own body and accept her advances, " Izanami said with a dramatic sigh, like a mother who had no choice but to become a prostitute to raise her child.

"Ah," Naruto was left speechless. He really wants to ask whether big sis Izanami is getting paid for acting this much.

And besides, who the hell leaves their inheritance as a 1000-page cake recipe book? Even the ninja scroll is just some Fuinjutsu seals. Taking a quick glance, Naruto could tell that these were some upgraded versions of storage seals. And to his utter disappointment, there was nothing inside the storage seal.

As for the jade tablet. Well, this one may look very valuable, but Naruto has seen many other treasures that are more valuable than this jade. And most importantly, Naruto suspects this jade is a fake since he couldn't get that unique feeling when he examined the jade.

So basically, the only thing valuable in this box is the cake recipe book. Did big sis Izanami want him to open up a bakery, so she gave this book to her?

Seeing Naruto's look of utter despair, Izanami couldn't take it anymore and punched him on the head.

Seriously, can't he have some faith in her?
