Naruto: The Hidden Protector

Chapter 20

Long long ago before the concept of shinobi or clans were born there stood a small village in the Land of Ancestors. In that village there was a unique family that held the leadership of that village. 

In that family there were two sons and one daughter. The two sons were exceptional in their own ways.  The eldest was a genius who used his knowledge and wisdom to improve the village. The youngest, although not as talented as the eldest, had his own charm.  He had the power to unite the people with his words and actions. 

The father who held the position of the village chief was a powerful man. It was said that before he became a village chief he and his brother fought and defeated a monster who was going to destroy this whole world. And most of all he had chakra which he distributed to everyone in the village. Even though the chief was a powerful man he too began to grow old. And that’s when disaster struck them. 

He called his two sons who were already grown ups to his office and gave them a trial. 

The trial was to go and help the people who were still suffering from the aftermath of their fight with the monster. 

The two brothers agreed to their father’s command and went on a journey to complete their trial. The eldest  who grew arrogant and cold in recent years found another small village that was suffering from a water shortage. Investigating this further he found out that the lake near them is dried up . So he used his chakra and wisdom to fill the lake and notify the villages. And with his task done he departed from the village to go back to his home. 

The youngest also found another village facing a similar problem. But unlike the eldest he didn’t just fill the lake he tried to help the village by making them a well so they could never have a problem like that in the future. Although this took more time he finally was able to create a well for the village. And so he too departed from the village. 

The two brothers finally came back home and told their story to their father. The father, after hearing them, finally made his decision.  He chose the youngest as his successor. 

The eldest unable to bear this left the village swearing to take revenge on everyone.  According to him what he did was right and the village chief position was rightfully his as the eldest child. 

And after a few days he came back to destroy his village.  At that time there was no one who could stop him due to his recent powerup. This led the youngest to confront his older brother. And similar to his brother the youngest also got stronger. If their powers were to be measured they most would be on an equal footing. 

But even so their battle was catastrophism for the village. Even the father who was once powerful couldn’t intervene as he had already given up most of his powers to his son. When all hope was lost a single sword cleaved  through the air. 

This sword strike managed to force the two brothers to distance themselves. When everyone looked at the direction the sword strike came from they saw the remaining child, the younger sister of the two brothers walking towards them. In both her hands there are two swords shaped like Katanas. 

Everyone was surprised at the daughter’s appearance. Most of the villager’s shouted for her to take shelter. To them she was their princess whom everyone adored. So they don’t want her to get hurt. 

But unexpectedly they were stopped by the father. Although most wouldn’t have noticed it he noticed it. His daughter although isn’t intelligent as his first son or as charismatic  as his second she has her own unique qualities. But she always held back from showing her talents and stayed under the shadows of her brothers.  

The girl walked towards her brother with a calm expression. She wasn’t even affected by the bloodlust or aura her brothers were releasing. 

The first to move was the eldest. He didn't like it when someone was interrupting his fight, especially after his pride was wounded a few days ago. So in a fit of rage he attacked his sister. The youngest tried to block it but he was too late. 

The attack came near the girl but unlike what everyone expected she didn’t panic. She calmly brought her sword down and split the attack in half. 

There was silence as the two brothers were speechless at her display of power. They never thought that their little sister was this strong. 

Finally the sister came in front of her brothers. She looked at her brothers with a series gaze and said these words, “ Stop this fighting or else I will join you and make you dance to my tune “ 

Hearing hee arrogant words everyone was at a loss for words. They never experienced their sweet princess would say these words one day. 

Even amongst everyone the one who reacted more strongly to her words was the eldest. He blinded in his fury attacked the sister in a frenzy. 

The sister, almost as though expecting this, dealt with his attacks accordingly. At times, she deftly parried their strikes, while at others, she skillfully blocked their advances. Like this she continued to hold off against her older brother without any problem further shocking the audience. 

This went on for a while until the sister couldn’t take it anymore. Her calm face was now filled with annoyance. Her patience for her brother had already run out. 

She finally began to retaliate. Her twin swords glowed with fire and lighting as she muttered, “ twin sword style 3rd form Lightning Ember Slash “

Lightning and fire fused as it attacked the two brothers like a raging dragon. Some might wonder why she attacked her other brother when he stopped fighting. Well the answer is simple: he just stood there while  she had to deal with their elder all by herself. As everyone knows women are quite vengeful . 

The sword attacks broke their two brother defences very easily. After all, it is powered by natural energy. But even if their defences were broken, how would the two brothers give up so easily? They created more defences.Then they poured more power into their defences and fortified it more. Fortunately their efforts weren’t in vain as they managed to hold off the attack. 

But even when they managed to hold off against that attack they weren't very happy. Why you ask because their sister was looking at them with a bloodthirsty grin. Her swords were still glowing with fire and lightning making them quite sure that she can launch such attacks a few times at them. 

“ So brothers what do you say, do you want to dance some more “the sister asked with a look that scared them a little.  

But even when their instincts were screaming at them to stop this fighting they still attacked her.’ So what if their sister had some power we are still stronger ‘ that foolish thought was what spelled their fate. 

The sister mercilessly gave a good beating to her brothers. After they finally admit defeat under her hand did she stop. 

So what do you think of this story? “ Izanami asked as she looked at some excited children that were sitting around her .
