Chapter 37

Chapter 37

In the outskirts of Konoha there is a river. This river is called Naka river. If someone from thousand years were to see this river they would recognise that this is the same river Indra created with his Susano.

On one side of the river back a small golden haired blue eyed child was fishing. He looked like he was about 4 years old. On his side was a little basket made from leaves. Inside the basket there were some small fishes he managed to catch.

While this kid was peacefully catching his lunch and dinner two people walking towards his direction.

They were Izanami and the Anbu ninja. Izanami had an annoyed look as she glared at the Anbu ninja who was trying hard to ignore the piercing glare.

Earlier when they entered Naruto's apartment they witnessed how cruel the villagers actually were. There were numerous rocks that were thrown at his apartment. Furthermore, in the fridge she found out that there is basically nothing but expired milk. Even in the cupboards there was only ramen which was nearing its expire date.

Looking at his wardrobe they found the only clothes he has are a pair of yellow shirt and a short. His pyjamas were the hospital gowns that the hospital give.

And since this visit Izanami was giving the Anbu ninja a stink eye. She even asked in sarcasm, “ hey although I can be called relatively ignorant of the ways of a ninja but is your village right in the head. Aren't all playing with fire here.

Do you guys even know what would happen if Naruto snapped suddenly? Are you that confident in restraining an angered jinchuriki? “

Ever since then the Anbu ninja has avoided eye contact with her. He too was puzzled on why the third Hokage didn’t do anything about this. As a Anbu ninja he knew if the third Hokage wanted to remove the rumors around Naruto he could do it without any problem. You just need to issue a law and use some ninjas who are good with Genjutsu to change the memory of whoever spreads the rumor. And ever since then he has come to doubt the Hokage’s character.

This is the effect Izanami wanted. Today it would just be one person but in a few years this seed of doubt will spread towards his comrades, family members and so on. And if the right evidence is presented Hiruzen’s image would shatter immediately.

‘ hehehe I wonder how Hiruzen will react when his reputation goes rock bottom in an instant. ‘ Izanami thought with a chuckle.

Her chuckle, although not loud, managed to capture the attention of the young Naruto who was fishing. Turning around he saw one unfamiliar girl and a ninja who wore the same uniform as the silver haired ninja who was kind enough to give him some groceries.

"Who are you, big sister? Oh, are you here to fish too?" Naruto asked with his innocent smile, a rare display of trust toward a stranger, given his past experiences of being shunned and mistreated by the villagers. But this "big sister" seemed different from the others in Konoha; at least she didn't scowl at the sight of him.

"Oh no, little brother, I'm not here to fish. But I'm a little curious why you think someone would come to this dangerous forest just to fish when they could buy some at the market," Izanami replied, her expression tinged with amusement.

Indeed, this forest was labeled as a danger zone, and it seemed unlikely that anyone, except Naruto, would venture into it for fishing. Even if someone did want to fish, there were safer designated spots for such activities, especially catering to tourists visiting from the Fire Country.

After thinking for a while she decided to find out what happened after going back to the mansion. And without forgetting to give an annoyed look at the Anbu ninja she kindly spoke to Naruto, “ Naruto it looks like we have to go back to the village. Why don't I help you pack things up here “

Naruto, although puzzled, agreed to head back to the village. Although the amount of fish he catched today is a bit low it's still better than nothing.
