Naruto: The Hidden Protector

Chapter 45

"Stop right there. You have caused enough commotion already. " Fugaku said as he finally catched up with the two intruders who came to cause a mess in the clan. This pair didn't come towards his house directly but took a huge detour and walked around the entire clan compound. 

It's like she was touring the whole Uchiha clan. Even the elders were defeated by her when they came to apprehend her. So apart from him and his men everyone who went to challenge her are now lying on the ground unconscious. 

But if Fugaku was being honest he was honestly surprised that his clan was defeated this quickly. Almost 90% of the whole Uchiha population is a genius in their own fields. Whether it is Ninjutsu , Genjutsu , Taijutsu or even Kenjutsu the Uchiha clan lacked nothing. Especially the elders who are the elite amongst elites. 

This combination is nothing to scoff at even in Konoha. Even the Village higher ups would cower in fear when the whole clan unites. But this girl defeated all of them in a matter of minutes. And from his observations he found out that no one was killed. 

This is obviously a plus in Fugaku's book. The Uchiha clan respectes the strong but that doesn't mean they are easy to bully. If anyone of his clansmen were killed, Fugaku would fight this person to the death even if it meant sacrificing himself. That is his duty as the clan leader. 

Izanami observing Fuagku had to hide the wide smile that was threatening to break into her face. When watching the anime Izanami always thought Fugaku was someone who would sway to the pressure. But looking at him now Izanami found that to be false. He is a true clan leader who wanted nothing but the best for his clansman. 

If Izanami had to guess, the only reason Fugaku allowed Itachi to do the massacre was because he couldn't bear to fight his own son. His pride and joy. 

'Now that I think about it, Itachi can't kill off everyone in the clan by himself even with Obitio's and Danzo's help. ' Izanami thought inwardly. From the fight she fought there were numerous people who were on the verge of awakening Mangekyou Sharingans. They only needed a little push to awaken them. Furthermore the Uchiha clan has many hidden experts. 

And no matter how nonsensical fate is, it cannot give Itachi the power to kill off all of them. Even if he tried he would have to exhaust his Mangakyou Sharingan completely to deal with all of them. So that leaves Izanami with an interesting conclusion. 

' So the Uchiha clan, similar to the Senju clan, went into hiding. They concealed themselves so Danzo or Hiruzen wouldn't be able to find them. ' Izanami thought. It isn't impossible with the resources and history the Uchiha clan has going into hiding is not a problem. Without showing their Sharingan no one could distinguish themselves amongst common folk. 

" Well if it isn't the clan leader Fugaku. Well do forgive us for not immediately going to your residence. You see little Naruto here has not seen much of the Uchiha clan so I was letting him sight see. I hope that isn't a problem with you " Izanami said with a business-like smile. 

Fugaku who heard her words almost stumbled back from shock. Did he hear it right? The son of Minato is here in the Uchiha clan. He had to finish this business before disaster struck them. And for a moment he felt gratitude for Izanami for knocking down every clan member into unconsciousness. If they know the nine tail Jinchūriki is here then they will do something drastic without thinking about the consequences. 

And what's more he is pretty sure the village higher ups would do something drastic too if they realised he is here. The Nine tails incident made it quite clear that the Sharingan can control the tail beast. 

Thinking all of these things, Fugaku tried his very best to lead them to his house as quickly as possible. He didn't want to complicate things anymore. 

Izanami, who could easily read Fugaku's thoughts like an open book, contemplated whether to go on another tour just to tease him. And besides, it's not like she came here unprepared. 

As soon as she left the mansion she enveloped the whole village in her domain of illusions. So as long as she had this domain deployed everything is under her control. The Anbu ninjas who are watching the Uchiha clan from the watchtower or the hidden Root ninjas deployed by Danzo can only collect the information Izanami allowed them to collect. 

To them nothing is going wrong and the Uchiha clan is doing their everyday work like usual. There was no Hyakki Yakō . No one saw anyone who single handedly beat down the whole Uchiha clan. And obviously the Nine tail Jinchiruki is not the Uchiha clan right now.

But after thinking about it for a while Izanami decided to abandon the idea. She didn't want to pressure him too much. After all he would need to be fully conscious for the talk they are about to have. 

So without any delay all of them headed towards Fugaku's house. The trip was quite boring since apart from Naruto who was enjoying himself no one talked. Fugaku and his men all had their signature poker face. 

Arriving at his house, Fugaku dismissed his men. Although they are his retainers they knew when to back down. After all, the clan leader's duties aren't something they can interfere with. After his followers left he gestured to his guests to come inside. 

After going inside Izanami looked at her surroundings with a bit of interest. Just now she felt the activation of Fuinjutsu.And that too an observation type Fuinjutsu. So she released her senses and found that the entire room they are now in is covered with various seals. 

With a bit of more studying Izanami found that these seals are made by an Uzumaki as the way these seals are used is quite familiar to her. Thinking about Kushina's relationship with Mikoto Izanami didn't find it too strange. 

But what interested her the most is the familiar chakra signature she felt when releasing her senses. Although it was very faint like it was sealed she could undoubtedly recognise that chakra signature. 

' What in the bloody hell is going on with this world? ' izanami wondered in her mind.
