Naruto: The Hidden Protector

Chapter 60

“ Now that's what I call training. Good job surviving Naruto. As a reward I will ask Teuchi to make you a special miso ramen, “ Izanami said with a satisfied smile.

“Yay “ Naruto said weakly as he laid on the ground powerless. Earlier Izanami had made him run for his life in the whole courtyard and she was chasing him with a big stick.

When he slowed down or was about to be out of breath she would hit him. And the pain would make him run even faster. And when he was almost out of breath Izanami instructed him to use the chakra refining technique while running.

Ninjas had to travel for hours straight to do missions. And to that they utilised their chakra to keep themselves from getting too tired. This is the most basic application for ninjas who just started refining chakra.

This is why Izanami told Naruto to start refining his chakra after he was nearing physical limit. When one circulates chakra in their bodies they will be able to revitalise their tired bodies to some extent.

And Naruto had to do this as his training. Since he is still at the age of three where physical training is too much for his body this exercise is the best for him.

Well the problem was Naruto couldn’t refine chakra perfectly due to him slacking off easier so this exercise was quite hard for him. Not in the physical sense as he was just running. What made it too hard for him is because Izanami hit him everytime he tried to slow down.

So when Naruto’s proficiency reached an acceptable range for Izanami he was almost out of breath and was on the verge of going unconscious.

Izanami sighed and lifted him up and carried him in the famous princess carry. Thankfully Naruto is too young to feel the shame of being carried in a princess carry by a girl.

As they were on their way to the next door Ichiraku Ramen they bumped into the animal group of Kaguya , Rin , Sakumo and Yahiko.

“ What happened to Naruto? Did he get hurt during training? “Rin asked as she came closer to inspect him almost immediately. Out of everyone she is the kindest and attached to Naruto. After all, Naruto is her sensei’s child.

“ Don’t worry he is just exhausted after a day of training. A few bowls of Ramen will make him energetic again. “ Izanami said dismissively. She wasn't lying when she said this.

She had seen Ashura and even the Uzumaki clan get all energetic after a good meal. The meal just had to be something they must love or else the magic wouldn’t work at all. It was tested and verified.

“See I told you all he needs is a few bowls of ramen “ Izanami said proudly as she enjoyed the gobsmack look of Rin and the others.

They all came with Izanami and Naruto since they clearly didn’t believe Izanami’s words. They were expecting a scene of Naruto barely managing to eat his Ramen with how tired he is.

But to their surprise as soon as he smelt the delicious smell of Teuchi’s Ramen he was instantly healed. His eyes, which previously were tired and barely opened, were filled with excitement.

It was like he was on steroids , which is his usual behaviour waiting for his ramen. If they hadn’t witnessed his previous state with their own eyes they would seriously doubt their own words.

“ How is this even possible , even Nagato didn't have this much vitality? '' Yahiko, who knew how broken Uzuamaki’s endurance and vitality was, is asked in complete confusion. When they were young he often seen how much of a terrifying monster Nagato could be when it comes to endurance but looking at Naruto that was nothing.

“ You know Nagato has several things blocking him right. His Rinnegan which is continuously absorbing his chakra and his mentality . “ Izanami explained as she saw through Yahiko’s thoughts.

“ The Rinnegan I can understand but what does his mentality have to do with his vitality. “ Yahiko asked, confused. He knew nagato’s Rinnegan was quite a bother as it continuously absorbs chakra. That part he could understand. Continuously draining your chakra will leave your body tired.

Kakashi is a prime example. Due to his Sharingan half of his whole chakra is continuously being used to sustain it. Which is why he is always a bit tired even during missions.

“ Well how do I put it “ Izanami thought her words carefully as she explained, “ Have you ever heard of a saying of never corner a Uchiha or Uzumaki in battle. “

“Yes I remember hearing something like that when I was a kid from my father. Apparently it was a popular saying during the warring state “ it was Sakumo who answered. That was an old saying he heard from his clan members who were very old.

“Yes, during the warring period many clans lost their members on a daily basis. It was during those times that the Uchiha , Senju Uzumaki and many more ancient clans made a name for themselves. And even amongst all these clans the Uzuamaki and Uchiha are the deadliest in battles.

And that is because of their prideful nature and unyielding will. If a person from these clans decided to protect someone with their lives on the line then that moment will be the moment they will show their true nature. No matter the injury they would not stop until they finish their mission.

Even if they lost both of their arms they would fight with their feet. Until there's nothing left of them they would fight to the bitter end. It is this characteristic that the saying was made.” Izanami explained to the crowd.

“Iit is because of this undying will Naruto is able to stand up like it was nothing after going through that training. As long as a Uzumaki has their favourite food they would even wake up from a coma if they were ever conscious. “ she said with a chuckle. That last one was is still being tested so it’s nothing but a theory but Izanami thinks if it was Naruto it may be possible.

Since Naruto as the reincarnation of their ancestors has the strongest will so as long as his mind stay strong there's nothing he couldn’t do’ She thought inwardly.

‘And besides if even a group of three idiot pirates could wake up from a coma because of sentence someone said I doubt someone ancient as Ashura couldn’t do something like that too ‘ she reasoned.

“ Wow, “ the crowd was amazed. They never knew those ancient clans were that formidable.

‘ as expected of ancient clans who dominated the warring state’ they all thought with a bit of admiration.

“ But what about the Senju clan? “ a voice suddenly asked as Tsunade came inside the shop. She heard Izanami’s little explanation on her way inside. And she isn’t amused on how the Senju clan was missing in her explanation.
