Naruto: The Hidden Protector

79:School opening day

~Time Skip A Year later ~

A year went by after the whole incident with the World Bank. The situation in Konoha returned back to its original calm.

During this time period, Tsunade solidified her authority and made many changes. She, unlike Hiruzen, stopped the excessive monitoring of the Uchiha clan. She thought it was too cruel to do that to a founding clan just because of one person.

Of course, the next day her office was invaded by the Konoha corrupt trio saying this was a wrong decision, and demanded Tsunade to take her order back. But like what Izanami liked to do she gave the trio the middle finger and said, “I’m the Hokage and my decision is final. If you bother me again I won't mind digging up the old records of your corruption and publishing it. “

This stunned the trio so much that they almost stopped breathing. And before they could argue anymore Tsunade directly kicked them out of her office. She was done with dealings with these clowns.

She had read the book Izanami wrote about a governess and understood that tolerating these guys and changing her orders because of the pressure would not help her in any way. If you are the ruler and you are confident in your judgement then don't change it because of a third party.

Although democracy is good and all that’s only when you have a group of people who truly care for the country and its citizens. So unless you have such people you should trust your judgment and not change your orders even if you are seen as a tyrant.

It is never a bad decision to do the right thing. Many regret their past choices after seeing the consequences of not doing what’s right. In this case, Hiruzen and two friends don't accept the Uchiha clan because of their personal reasons that have no logic behind them.

And decides it isn’t like she completely dropped the surveillance on them. There was still an Anbu ninja unit that would periodically monitor every clan for any abnormalities. It’s just she didn’t make it too obvious that the Uchiha clan is under heavy surveillance like what Hiruzen did.

Also during her time she changed the school curriculum and made it so that the kids graduating from school would not be like Sakura who is only good at theory. She added many courses such as Medical ninjutsu and Fuinjutsu etc.

She also created an after-class for grown-ups who wanted to learn medical ninjutsu to increase the medicals in the Konoha hospital. For this, she invited many retired medical ninjas as teachers.

As for the budget for these classes, Tsunade found it by cutting off unnecessary spending such as monthly bonuses for elders mainly for three extremely old people. Could you believe that these guys would take twice their pay just to travel from their homes to the Hokage Office. What’s more, they also include the health and loans to be paid off by the Konoha treasury.

And if that isn’t enough most of the money of the treasury is used to build towers to monitor the Uchiha clan. Tsunade had to use every bit of willpower to stop herself from running towards that trio and beating the shit out of them for wasting this much money on something so stupid.

Even Izanami was speechless about this. But this also made sense after thinking about it. I mean how many ninjas do you need to send to monitor the whole Uchiha clan for 24 hours every day? And those guys are Anbu ninjas who have very high salaries due to taking high risks every day.

For Izanami’s side nothing changed, every day she would train Naruto and occasionally Tengen too. Under her guidance, Naruto managed to perfectly control his chakra.

Although Izanami didn’t teach him any ninjutsu as this was a task that she had given Minato and Kushina, Izanami was sure Naruto could use the clone technique without any problem now.

Of course, apart from his training Naruto also made friends with the original Konoha 11. After training in the morning, he would go to the park and play with them almost every day.

This greatly pleased Izanami. One of her promises to Minato and Kushina was to not let Naruto feel any loneliness like he felt in the original work. And to this day she has successfully managed to achieve that.

Although she really couldn’t do anything about the rumours she made sure those would not inconvenience Naruto too much.

So no longer does Naruto have to endure that harsh treatment of getting beaten up randomly or being scolded for just passing by. If any of the villagers actually tried two burly men would suddenly appear and take them into custody for child abuse.

“Big sis Izanami let’s go already we are getting late “ Naruto complained as he tried to wake up Izanami who was hugging plushie Kaguya like a sleeping pillow.

“ Mmmm, five more minutes, “ Izanami said, groggily as she turned over to return to her sleep.

“But today’s the school opening day and we will get late if we don’t go now “ Naruto complained as he began to shake Izanami like crazy.

“Okay okay I’m up geez can’t a lady get her beauty sleep? “ Izanami complained softly as she got up from her bed. Last night she, Minato, Kurama, and Kushina were watching the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie together so Izanami didn’t get much sleep.

If one were to ask how Izanami could watch a new movie that was just released on Earth. Well, this is one of the bonuses her boss gifted her. By using a bit of her chakra she could connect to her Earth’s Netflix account and watch the new movies by projecting it into a screen.

The only problem with this is the massive chakra consumption and the cooldown time of 30 days till the next time she could watch another movie.

After freshening up, Izanami had breakfast with everyone. After that, she and Naruto walked out of the house and went in the direction where Ninja School. Although it is still early many people were on the road with their children in hand.

Most of them are like Naruto and Izanami heading towards the Ninja school. And almost everyone had their faces full of smiles. For a kid, their journey starts today. So everyone is very excited.

Well everyone except for the Nara clan children who think all this is a drag.

After a few minutes of walking Izanami and Naruto arrived at the gate of the ninja school. Although there is at least an hour till the opening ceremony starts there are still many people here.

“ Hey Naruto, you finally arrived, “ Choji said as he greeted Naruto when he saw him coming through the gate.

“Hey there Choji “Naruto greeted him back with a smile. He then looked around and asked, “Where are Shikamaru and Ino “

“Oh those two are with our parents. Come on let me show you where they are, “Choji said as he dragged Naruto with him.

Izanami sighed as she followed them. She was quite bored since there was no one who she was familiar with. If she knew this was going to happen she should have come with Tsunade.
