Chapter 38
The journey back to the village was filled with Naruto's boundless energy and curiosity. He bombarded Izanami with a multitude of questions, his enthusiasm undiminished by her calm demeanour. While some might have found his exuberance overwhelming, Izanami remained patient, answering each question with ease.
Having interacted with individuals like Ashura and Hashirama in the past, Izanami was well-accustomed to dealing with cheerful and hyperactive personalities. Naruto's lively spirit reminded her of them, and she found herself enjoying the interaction despite the unusual circumstances.
As they reached a junction where their paths diverged, Naruto wore a wistful expression. Despite his reluctance to part ways, he maintained his customary smile and waved at Izanami. "Well, Big Sis, I have to go my own way from here. Thanks for hanging out with me today. I had a blast!" His smile held genuine warmth, though a touch of sadness colored his gaze.
Hearing his words Izanami was a little puzzled then she suddenly realised ‘ Crap I forgot to tell him the news ‘. She coughed a little before saying , “ Oh right Naruto I forgot to tell you but you will be living with me from today. As of today you are formally under my care. “
Hearing those words Naruto was stunned. Then a happy smile appeared on his face. With tears dripping from his eyes he asked, “ Big sister does that mean you are going to be my family”
In Naruto's small mind only those who are family would live together. It is because of his lack of family that Naruto had to live alone.
Izanami was surprised at his words. Then a happy reassuring smile came to her face. She patted Naruto's head as he said , “ Yes from today on we are family”
“ Yeee I have a family too “ Naruto cheered happily. He was so happy that he jumped a few times.
Chuckling at his childishness Izanami held Naruto's hand as she guided him to the mansion.
And to make sure they were not interrupted again she casted a small Genjutsu on the Anbu ninjas to go away.
After they left she deployed her domain to mask their presence. She didn't want Naruto to witness her punch an ignorant passerby because they couldn't keep their mouths shut.
Naruto obediently followed Izanami wherever she was taking him. He didn't ask any more questions thinking it would annoy her.
Izanami couldn't help but be amused by Naruto's behavior. If she didn't know any better, she might have mistaken him for a well-mannered, obedient child. "It seems this poor guy has suffered more than it was told in the canon," she thought with a sad smile. She decided to punish Hiruzen and Danzo a little more to make it up to Naruto for what he suffered.
When she thought of this, a collective shiver ran through the backs of Hiruzen and Danzo, who were still in the Hokage office waiting for any news about the intruder. At that moment, they didn’t realize that the one who had perpetrated all the actions that terrified both of them was coming to punish them again.
Arriving near the mansion, Naruto's excitement grew too much for his act to continue, “ Wow big sister, is this really your house? This house is 3 times bigger than my apartment building. “ He said with his eyes shining like stars.
“ Of course I did. What else could I do in that cold prison. No matter how many seals your father and uncle placed on me they can’t completely cut off my connection to this planet. So I was able to see how my grandsons were. “ She said with a bit of sadness.
Izanami sighed at this. Her father and uncle were great beings who were respected by many but they were horrible sons who didn’t know how much they hurt their mother.
