Naruto: The Hidden Protector

Chapter 12



Chapter 12

In one of the many hospitals in Japan, Tsunade laid on one of the many beds there and contemplated her life’s worth. Beside her Shizune sat on a stool trying to console her but to no avail. 

Suddenly a gust of wind came from the open window and Izanami appeared before them. She looked at Tsunade and sighed. With a bit of strength she flicked Tsunade’s forehead making a bang sound. 

“ owwww “with a shout filled with pain Tsunade came back to reality. The first she wanted to do was hit the person who hurt her. But just as she moved a little bit her whole body began to hurt like hell. And that’s when she remembered what her condition was. So as a last resort she glared hatefully at the Izanami.   

But Izanami completely ignored her glare. She looked at Tsunade and sneered, “ what did the beating that kid give you not enough. Want me to discipline you too “ 

All of Tsunade’s momentum disappeared as she looked away. She couldn’t face anyone after what happened today. 

“ What now you feel ashamed, where was that shame when you were trying to  boss around those kids huh “ Izanami rebuked her ruthlessly. 

Tsunade didn’t answer her. She just looked down in shame. She truly felt ashamed of her actions at that time. But even more than shame she felt her pride shatter because of the incident. 

Earlier when she and Shizune went outside to sightsee they happened to find a good bar. And as the alcoholic freak she was, Tsunade naturally got  drunk. Coincidentally the shop they went to was a shop that the Yamanashi clan owned. This clan in the Warring state was famous for their drunken swordsmanship. Due to their fighting style relying heavily on their drunkenness their clan makes unique alcohol that can make anyone drunk with just one sip.

Even Sachiko, the well known drunkard in Japan wouldn’t dare drink their wine casually. This is because of one speciality of this wine. Normally after someone is drunk most medical ninja's or clan’s that have a high regeneration ability can remove their drunkenness after injecting chakra into their brain. But after drinking this wine, the more chakra you inject the more drunkenness you become. 

 Unluckily, Tsunade as a force of habit poured chakra to cure her drunkenness. And as she was still drunk she didn’t notice the change and continued to pour chakra. It was only when Shizune noticed her condition that she finally stopped.  But at that time it was too late. Tsunade was barely holding her conscience. 

Shizune tried to get Tsunade back to her room since she isn’t quite stable right now. But due to the drunkenness Tsunade’s stubbornness intensified. She stubbornly said that she won’t go back to her room till she enjoyed looking around the place. 

Since Shizune couldn’t forcibly bring Tsunade back to her room she had no choice but to go along with her wishes. She prayed in her heart that Tsunade wouldn’t bring them too much trouble. 

And to her relief they weren't dragged into any unnecessary troubles Tsunade just strolled around the village.  But she let her guard down too soon as Tsunade’s attention went to a peculiar machine. It was set up near the park they decided to rest for a while. 

Going near it, Tsunade found that it was a Gacha machine from the kids who were tasked in safe guarding it. Although she was unfamiliar with the term since it was a gambling Tsunade honestly didn’t care.  

And she did what always do , she started gambling. And like always she only got the trashy items. But she didn’t care, she just kept gambling until the kids guarding the machine said that her time was over.  

As it turned out, Izanami who invented this machine made a rule for whoever using it will only have 20 rounds a day. As she knew first hand the horrors of Gacha she did so that they won’t be people who will go bankrupt in one day. 

But Tsunade didn’t take this kindly. Due to her drunken state her temper was far worse. And when someone said that she couldn’t gamble she exploded. Even her teacher wouldn’t dare tell her to stop gambling, So she was about to beat some sense into this kid for stopping her. 

And her decision turned out to be a terrible mistake. The kid she was about to hit was a Uzumaki and not just any Uzumaki but a true Uzumaki who are most fearsome of them all. Kushina Uzumaki and Mito Uzumaki are also true Uzumakis. 

So when he saw Tsunade attacking him , he also attacked her. He used his Adamantine chains to seal Tsunade’s movements. And with a punch to the abdomen he knocked Tsunade out instantly. 

One must know that Tsunade, although drunk, was still one of the legendary sannin. So for someone to knock her down that easily , they must have considerable strength. But for her to be knocked down by a kid who didn’t look like a ninja. That destroyed Tsunade’s pride. 

Hearing the story from Shizune Izanami sighed. She already read the report Nanami gave her so she only wanted to hear Tsunade’s part of the story. She sighed once again before saying, 

“ Tsunade, I'll be blunt with you. As you are now you only have the combat power of a special jounin. “

Tsunade looked at her in disbelief. She then angrily said, “ what the hell do you mean, I lost just because I was drunk at that time.  If I faced against that kid again I’ll beat him without even breaking a sweat “

Izanami looked at her and asked, “ Tsunade then tell me when was the last time you trained or actually fought someone. Hell, I'll even bet that your chakra control might have lowered a bit due to you not doing it seriously. “

“ That’s impossibl.. “Tsunade wanted to say it was impossible but she quieted down when she remembered about a certain clan, The clan her sensei is terrified of , The Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan are born warriors. So even when they are old they never stop their training. That’s why the village is afraid of them so much, even if they were old they at least have chunin level power.

 In fact the clan itself are homes for various types of geniuses. Due to their curse they always think about the family members. Even Obito who was said to be a shame of Uchiha was not abandoned. If Obito asked any member for help, they would curse at him, but nonetheless help him. 

“ Tsunade let me make this clear to you. You might be the princess of Konoha or even one of the legendary Sannins but your status means nothing if you are weak.This is the law of this world. 

So Tsunade stop running away from reality. This is my advice from someone who lived in this world for a long time. “ Saying these words, Izanami flickered away from the hospital leaving Tsunade to contemplate. 

Ultimately Tsunade sighed and said to Shizune, “ Shizune can you get me a bottle of wine? I really need a drink right now “ But she received no reply.  Looking around she saw that Shizune was missing from the room. 

Tsunade sighed again at what was happening. Izanami might have taken Shizune away with her so Tsunade would seriously think about it. This made Tsunade helpless. She really doesn't want to think about this matter as it is very much related to her past. She sighed again. Looks like she is going to sigh a lot today.
