Naruto: The Hidden Protector-Chapter 128: A visit to the Hyuga clan

"Ok, bye, kids. Come again when you have time. " Izanami waved her hands as she looked at the departing figures of Naruto’s friends.

She then turned to Shizune and spoke, "Well, I will be heading to the Hyuga clan. "

"Hyuga clan, " Shizune was surprised. "May I ask why Lady Izanami has a sudden interest in the Hyuga clan? " she asked with a serious expression.

You know the Hyuga clan is one of Konoha’s major clans, rivaling even the Uchiha clan. So if Izanami had any feuds with them, this would definitely affect the whole village. This is why Shizuen was serious about this.

Since they couldn’t really stop Izanami, they had to be prepared for the future troubles and overcome this disaster.

Izanami, who could more or less read Shizune’s mind, rolled her eyes as she flicked her on the forehead. "You guys seriously need to cool down. Do you really think I’m like Naruto and couldn’t understand politics? Girl, I have ruled an entire country for more than a hundred years and am still revered as a legendary figure. I know not to make trouble everywhere. "

"Yes, Lady Izanami, I’m sorry for my rudeness, " Shizune said as she lowered her head in shame. Yes, Lady Izanami is a more experienced ruler and knows when to look at the bigger picture. She would definitely not cause any conflicts with the Hyuga clan.

If Nanami were to hear Shizune’s thoughts, she would really be confused and question them. "See the bigger picture. When did my mother do that? She always solves things with her iron fists. As for not causing any conflicts, dream on. Whenever my mother goes, there is bound to be conflict. "

"Have a safe journey, Lady Izanami, " Shizune said as she bowed her head.

"Yeah, I will be back home soon." Izanami waved her hand and walked towards the Hyuga clan.

On her way, Izanami smiled and greeted the passerby who recognized her. As a mega celebrity who technically owned Konoha, it is natural that everyone showed respect to her big wallet.

Especially with the upcoming festival that was dedicated entirely to her. You know, even when Konoha was founded, there was no such festival like this. In fact, there had never been a founding festival, which spoke volumes about how much importance the village attached to Izanami.

Well, although the big reason for this is because the whole festival is sponsored by Izanami herself, but that is just a side detail.

It didn’t take long for Izanami to arrive at the Huyga clan. Despite Konoha being very big since almost all the major families chose to build their clans near the village center, so it wasn’t very far from her home.

And when speaking of major ones, the Uchiha and Senju clans were included in this group, as both clans took the lands near the border of Konoha.

In fact, originally, the Uchiha clan was located at the village center since the Konoha Police Department was built there. This is so they would be able to send ninjas to assist in any situation from all directions.

But after the nine-tailed incident, the Uchiha clan was driven out of their lands and forcibly relocated to the outer areas. Although this may sound a bit cruel, Izanami was happy about this.

You see, although being near the village center sounds good and all, it actually has a very big disadvantage. There is no extra space for any development. After all, the village center is actually where the marketplace is, and there is no way one could find any suitable lands big enough for the clans’ development.

Although it would not be apparent yet but give it a few decades, and the clans that owned lands in the village center would begin to complain about it being very cramped. So, unless they begin to build high-rise buildings that at least have 20 floors, there is no solution to this.

After all, you can’t kick these guys away, right? Although ordinary households can indeed do that and even let their descendants make their homes a bit far away, clans couldn’t do this. After all, if they all live in separate places, what is even the reason to be in a clan? And besides, would other clans even allow these guys to buy land near their own clans?

Although Konoha is very united and is very harmonious. That is only if the whole village is facing a crisis. If not, each clan would fight for its benefits.

So this is why Izanami was very glad about the Uchiha clan relocation. For a clan like Uchiha, Izanami guessed it wouldn’t take more than another decade before they faced this problem. After all, if we take the population into account, the Uchiha clan is second only to the Sarutobi clan.

Whether it was in the number of ninjas or population, the Sarutobi clan managed to become first. Although this may have been due to the fact that Hiruzen’s support or due to the fact that the casualties for the Sarutobi clan are far less than for any other clan.

Oh, speaking of the Sarutobi clan, didn’t the Sarutobi clan take all the land that the Uchiha clan left? Maybe it is because of this that the Third Hokage forced the Uchiha clan to relocate. He knew his clan was getting cramped lately, so he kicked away their neighbor and took their land by force, saying it was for the greater good.

Truly, as expected of Hiruzen, he is a hypocrite through and through. Maybe she should remind Tsunade that there are too many ninjas in the Sarutobi clan who are too idle. It would be a waste not to let them accept those high-level tasks that need more manpower. The ones that have high casualty rates.

Izanami shook her head, ignoring the rather dangerous thoughts in her head. She should really stop meddling with Konoha anymore. After all, in a few days, she would be leaving this village.

"Tell your patriarch that I want to have a small meeting with him, " Izanami said to the guard as she arrived at the Hyuga clan compound.

"Yes, Lady Izanami, " the guard bowed and left immediately. He didn’t even ask for her identity, as everyone knew who this person was. After all, this is the big shot that even changed the oldest Hokage. And besides, the clan leader and elders had already given instructions that if Lady Izanami were to come, they would need to treat her with utmost respect.

So in no time, the guard that went inside came back immediately and said, "The patriarch is currently in a meeting at the Hokage office. If Lady Izanami wants, we could send a messenger to call the patriarch back. "

"No, that would be unnecessary. I’ll just wait till he comes back, " Izanami chuckled dryly as she spoke. She knew that if she really said okay to this, these guys would definitely send someone to go call Hiashi, even if it meant provoking the Hokage.

"Then, if Lady Izanami doesn’t mind, please wait in the guest hall. We would also send someone to inform the elders. " Seeing that Izanami didn’t make things difficult for them, the guard breathed a sigh of relief inwardly and gestured for her to come in.

"Don’t bother those elders. Just bring me some nice snacks to pass the time, "Izanami said as she followed inside. Her intent was very clear. I just wanted to talk with your patriarch, and that is final.

"Yes, Lady Izanami, I will inform someone to bring in the finest snacks we have. " The guard understood her hidden meaning, nodded, and said nothing.

Although this response may displease the elders, they could only swallow their anger and spy using their Byakugan. They didn’t want to anger this big boss, who even cursed at Hiruzen and Danzo at their first meeting.

If they angered her, their heads would be on the chopping block the next second. Even being an elder wouldn’t save them, as the village itself would brand them as traitors, not to mention the clan.
