Naruto: The Hidden Protector

Chapter 42

The door to the dinner table was opened. From there came Nanami and Shisui who had a new bandage wrapped on his head. Seeing them entering izanami looked at them before saying in surprise ,  “ wow I didn't expect you to gave those pairs to him this quickly Nanami “

“ He is ready for it matriarch. Since Konoha already considered him dead it would be best for him to have it. There is a limit to what a blind man could do to help his clan. “ Nanami said as she took a seat followed by Shisui. 

“ No, that's what I was saying. I was just surprised that you would let him awaken his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan this easily. His pupil technique with addition of what Kagami had will make him quite the troublesome opponent. “  Izanami said, making Shisui, who just took a seat, stand up immediately. 

“ Wait what do you mean I have the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. I thought you need two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan to awaken it. “ He asked in a shocked voice. 

Nanami was also surprised at this but unlike Shisui she began to ponder what happened. She recointed everything thought of the reason for a few minutes. Then she suddenly realised something after analysing all the things she knew about the Sharingan. 

 She asked in a somewhat unsure tone, “ Is it because Shisui’s bloodline had upgraded “ . 

Izanami shook her head at this. “ No,  the correct answer would be that he purified his bloodline. Because to upgrade you need more than just a Mangekyou Sharingan. “  

“ What’s the difference between those two? Shisui asked in puzzlement. Since to him who knows nothing about Biology and Science those two words are quite the same. 

“ You see when you upgrade your bloodline you are essentially evolving your blood into a higher level. For example, I imagine you have an A rank bloodline. If you upgrade your bloodline your bloodline would evolve into a S rank or SS rank. 

But when you are purifying your bloodline you essentially unlock the hidden powers that were dormant in it. For example imagine you have 50 % of this A rank bloodline and after purifying it you have 100% of said bloodline enabling you to fully explore your potential.  “  Izanami explained to the both of them. 

“ I see so that’s why you need another pair of Mangekyou Sharingan. You are essentially increasing your bloodline percentage by transplanting another sharingan which has all the data needed. And to make sure the process has no faults you need the sharingans of a close blood relative. “  Nanami exclaimed as she connected all the dots. 

“ Yes , unlike the Hyuga clan which tries hardest to preserve their bloodline purity, the Uchiha clan's bloodline purity has  decreased in each generation. Currently there is no one who could be considered a full Uchiha. “ Izanami said while inwardly thinking , ‘ That’s unless no one is practising the bloodline purifying technique I gave Madara. If I remember correctly, that skill book should be in the Uchiha clan. ‘  

“ But why do you know all this? I can understand Nanami san since she read the Uchiha stone tablet but you speak of things that are not mentioned in the tablet. “ Shisui asked in bewilderment.  When she heard him say she is a Shinigami Shisui thought she was just joking since he is alive. 

Izanami tilted her head and said as if this was a matter of fact , “ well because my brother is the one who founded the Uchiha clan. So of course I know everything there is to know in this clan. “ 

“ Wait, does that mean you are also a Uchiha clan member? But wait, how old are you ? The Uchiha clan has a history of a thousand years and you lived that long. Isn't that impossible? “  Shisui said in rapid succession. Ever since he came to this place he has been hearing pretty outrageous things and this is most outrageous amongst everything he heard. 

Izanami got up from her seat. Her hands and eyes were twitching ever so slightly after all of Shisui's questions. There is a universal rule that all men must follow. Never ask a woman for their age. And Shisui did just that. So you can imagine how screwed up he is now. 

Reaching Shisui Izanami gripped his head hard making him vail in pain. She said in a slightly cold voice, “ you know I don't really like to hit injured patients but you really pushed your luck there. Since you need some punishment I will have to hasten your recovery for a bit. “ 

Saying those a green aura began to come out of her hand as it flowed towards Shisui lighting up body. His injuries which were still recovering began to heal at a rapid pace. Even the eyes that were still adapting began to hasten their recovery. And in a matter of seconds Shisui's body is devoid of any injuries. 

Seeing her work done , Izanami nodded her head a bit before finally saying, “ Since you are healed, please accept your punishment”. And without waiting for an answer she punched him in the face.

With a bang Shisui was thrown towards the wall. He grimaced in pain as he felt he might have broken his back. 

Izanami dusted her hands and went back to her seat like nothing happened. Tsunade, Shizune and Naruto who watched all this from next room shuddered as they unanimously thought, ‘ Don't make Izanami angry by asking her age. ‘ 

“ Hey you three bring those things over here. Are we starting this party or what? “ she said as she gave the three hiding figures a glance. 

They quickly did as she ordered. They didn't want to face her wrath. Especially Naruto who didn't want the only person who treated him kindly to be angry at him. 

Nanami sighed at her adopted mother's behaviour. Unlike the rest she knew her mother isn't that petty to hurt Shisui just because he mentioned her age. She is too old for that shit. The only reason she punished him was for his past actions where he betrayed his clan and told a complete stranger his power. 

For Izanami family comes first before everything. This is why she always tries to lessen her authority in the Rushifā clan. She didn't want to become someone like the Third Hokage who would only nourishe his clan. She didn’t want to play favourites for anyone.
