Chapter 6

Izumo's adoption did not go unnoticed, and the Uchiha patriarch sent staff to monitor him and make sure there were no problems. It would be a risk to allow someone with bad intentions to take it away.

It is always better to be cautious.

Despite not belonging to the clan, Izumo still carries the blood of the Uchiha, and his lineage is important. Who knows how many scientists might be out there doing experiments, and then there's the question of offspring. Although there have been cases of marriages outside the clan, they are very few.

Should I consider castrating the boy to prevent offspring from being born outside the clan? It is an extreme measure to avoid problems. Kagami sighed and decided that it would be better to just keep an eye on him as he grows up. If he finds a good girl and they get married, he might consider bringing them back to the clan. It all depends on whether his son manages to open her eyes, of course.

Kagami drank a cup of tea while watching the clan from his home.

"Patriarch, the child was adopted." Shouted a Shinobi from the Uchiha clan, quite exasperated.

Kagami spat out the tea from his mouth, he was too surprising! It seemed that the boy had the luck of the devil.

"So fast!..., I can't believe it. What about the person who adopted him, did he seem strange?"

The shinobi dropped to one knee and spoke quickly.

"We investigated her, she is a woman from the merchant guild, 18 years old, blue hair, eyebrows and eyes. She seems to be a high-class woman, when she adopted the child, she gave 70 thousand Ryo to help the orphanage, her house is a mansion of 2000 square meters"

Kagami regained his mood, like a good patriarch, and asked calmly. "Does she have any ties to another clan, or the village?"

"So far, we have not found any connection to other clans. She is also not a ninja and she has never attended ninja school, despite possessing chakra."

"Strange, he's not a ninja, but he has chakra, isn't he a foreign spy?" Kagami asked, frowning.

"I doubt it, he's lived his whole life in Konoha, if he was a spy, we'd know it by now."

Kagami took another sip of her tea and closed her eyes, sinking into meditation. Although the woman didn't seem to pose any threat, he decided that being cautious was the best option.

"Keep watching, 24 hours a day. If you find anything strange, let me know immediately"

"Yes patriarch."

The ninja disappeared to continue his work, leaving behind a document with detailed information on Esdeath.

All information was prepared by the system, it's impossible to find any fault, it's as if he really lived in konoha since he was born.

In another part of Konoha, a man with bandages covering his arm, part of his face, and his eye watched his subordinate as he presented a report with great respect.

"Lord Danzo, the Uchiha baby has just been adopted."

Exactly, it was Danzo, who was aware of the abandoned Uchiha. Danzo has a great intelligence network, Root should not be underestimated, nothing escapes his blind eye, he is just like Nick Fury.

When he found out about the boy, he thought of killing him, a dead Uchiha, he is a good Uchiha, that was his credo.

However, he thought better of it.

He decided that it would be more beneficial to raise the Uchiha and make him an enemy of his own clan. Danzo did not lack for Uchiha eyes to implant, nor did he lack for forbidden techniques to strengthen it.

He knows the hearts of people, and it is not difficult to manipulate him. If he appeared in front of the boy, and told him the truth, he wouldn't take too much to create an avenging emo, in true Uchiha Sasuke style.

Plain and simple, a child's mind is the most malleable, although he would obviously use some seal to control it, he never leaves anything to chance.

"Who was he?" asked Danzo,

"A woman named Esdeath, she has no family..."

Danzo listened to the information with a cold look, nodding from time to time. The woman was interesting, she possessed chakra, but she didn't go the ninja path, instead, she wishes to live a merchant life.

It is incredible that the influence of the ninja path did not reach her. Although he didn't plan to recruit her as a ninja either, she was too old to teach him, she may have chakra, but she never refined it, or practical, she was already useless in her eyes.

And they weren't wrong, Esdeath only has the theory, she still doesn't practice it. It's also not necessary to learn it desperately, with the trump card from her, she could defeat most without a problem, freezing time is a fearsome ability, with almost no countermeasures.

To that fact is added the fact that no one knows of her power, nothing more terrible than an unknown and underestimated enemy.

"Keep watching, and don't get involved, unless there is some danger, if so, save them"

She wouldn't save them out of good will, it's to make it easier to control her and the child. Danzo thinks about the future, if the woman manages to be a great merchant, it is not bad to earn her trust, and in the process her money.

If he knew who Esdeath was, he wouldn't even have the pants to try and plan against her, but it wouldn't do any good either.

Playing the role of the hero who saves the beauty would be impossible, rather, the hero would have to run for fear of dying in the crossfire, Esdeath is not an easy woman to fool.

That only works with kushina, the hero saves the beauty, it was very well received by her part, even falling in love with Minato.

If it was Esdeath, she would realize that something is wrong.

How is it possible that the Jinchūriki of the 9 tails, the most important military resource of the town, is kidnapped so easily?

Except when you are in the village itself, full of ninjas and the same Hokage.

Not to mention Danzo, that old man would never let her escape or be kidnapped, Danzo can be a shitty person, but she always looks for the best for Konoha, although it's not always the best way.

But for that very reason, he would never let them take his precious military tool, it's like a country being robbed of a nuclear bomb.

Only an idiot couldn't notice such a bad play.

As far as the Hokage was concerned, she wouldn't take any action.

Danzo requested the child, and being a blind boy with no apparent talent, she delivered him without hesitation. Sometimes, it is convenient to give the dog some food, without this implying a great loss.

As for Izumo, he had neither hate nor love towards Hiruzen and Danzo, for him, both are people who seek their own well-being and that of the people.

Regarding Izumo, he did not harbor any feelings of hate or love towards Hiruzen and Danzo. For him, both figures prioritized their own interests, both personal and those of the people in general.

It is something natural in the human being.

This way of acting is not necessarily bad or negative. Actually, it is quite common behavior that we often observe in various contexts, be it in politics, business, labor relations and even within the family. We all ultimately seek our own benefit and that of those around us.

People are selfish by nature, and Izumo knows it, everyone will seek their own benefit and that of those closest to them.

¡¡¡¡

Once home, Izumo took a well-deserved rest before delivering some books on childcare to Esdeath. A month passed quickly and it was time to get the operations going to generate income.

The Second World War was already about to break out, and the big countries were beginning to stock up on the necessary resources for the war, a war that would last several years.

-Esdeath, how is the project going? Izumo asked telepathically.

-All ready little Izumo, today I will bring the food pills, and the explosive stamps, in one day I should be able to sell the 40 thousand stamps, and the 1000 pills.

Izumo smirked, by selling the stamps, he could earn 40 million Ryo. The pills would add 3 million more.

Discounting the cost of production, I would earn 70% of the total, that's a profit, it's good that I don't have to pay taxes.

-Little Izumo, we should consider hiring a babysitter so you don't feel so alone. Esdeath expressed, showing his concern. Izumo was already very precious to her, and she would always be willing to protect her own.

Hmm, I'll think about that. In the meantime, keep taking me with you, it shouldn't be a problem. Izumo replied. Although it could sometimes be a little uncomfortable for his masculine pride to be carried around, there wasn't much he could do about it. He preferred not to think too much about it and just enjoy the cold embrace of his guardian, nothing better headrest than those huge breasts.

Esdeath pouted, quite upset because what would happen if she took him -Tch, the problem is those horny women, how dare they desire my little man. I should freeze them to death!

Izumo kept silent, he didn't know how to respond, the women Esdeath was talking about were mature women, who looked at how cute they were. Many wanted to touch him, but Esdeath stopped them, she is a possessive woman, she even wanted to put a leash on him to show that she was his.

The thought of her gave chills, it's good that she could control her, and avoid the leash.

-Why do you stay quiet?

-Nothing..., we are going to earn money.

Esdeath put on the system-bought baby carrier, and grabbed Izumo, to carry him, she couldn't leave him alone.

Izumo thought of a solution, buy another protection package, too bad it was limited to only one. The other was to buy an invocation, the cost was 100 million, and it was restricted to only one for every 5 years, cumulative.

Another drawback, the power level is restricted to the world of Naruto, he could not summon Ophis dragon of infinity, or more powerful beings.

Izumo questioned the reason behind the restriction, considering that the system was the most powerful. The answer was clear: it was implemented to promote the personal growth of the host. If over-hired powerful individuals, the host would become lazy and leave everything to others.

He found himself unable to refute the system, as he recognized that when people find an easy way to do things, they tend to follow that path and become complacent.

During her trip to the merchant guild, Esdeath attracted the glances of a few women, who became interested in the baby and how it was being transported. It was very convenient, and they would like to ask him a few questions.

Although no one came close, Esdeath used to be an unapproachable woman in general. Her cold gaze and domineering attitude intimidated ordinary people.

As for the men, some simply watched them, but they didn't get involved more than necessary. Most of them were busy working and the rest felt pressured by the look of her wives.

Another point is that there are almost no people, most of the ninjas are already at the borders, ready for war. What is left behind, are genin who have the task of sending letters, supporting supplies, and minor tasks.

Until they are sent to the front as cannon fodder, but we are not there yet.

Esdeath arrived at the guild, she entered without problems thanks to her credential and that she has already been several times in the place.

Inside the guild, several small children can be seen, with the Konoha ninja band, it is a minor task that recent graduates do. Arranging packages, cleaning the yard, pulling weeds, if I were Izumo and had no system I'd be more than happy, who wants to die so young?

Although she has a system, he would never go to war, especially if she doesn't have the strength to get out of the place alive. He was always a man who put safety first, the idea of evolving during battle, he left it to the protagonists and the pokemons.

Esdeath was warmly received in the guild, there were no young masters, no lascivious fat men, in times of war, it was better not to enter into too many conflicts, as merchants, the most valuable thing is profit.

If they're horny, they can go and hire prostitutes, even a kunoichi. Anything is possible with money, even within the guild, there were private rooms to release lust, there were women of all kinds, tall, thin, plump, lolis, unfortunately!, among others.

"Lady Esdeath, welcome, we are ready to buy her merchandise" The guild director greeted respectfully, and went straight to the point, time is money.

Esdeath nodded, and took out a sealing scroll, also wishing to finish everything mentioned above inside it.

"It's All Inside"

The guildmaster rubbed his hands together and gave an excited look at the scroll, money is money "Give us a day, we'll check everything and give you your payment."

-Shall we wait for the day, little Izumo?

-Yes, and if he tries to deceive us, we'll kill him! He responded decisively, it's one thing to want to go unnoticed and not have problems, another thing is to let yourself be humiliated, he would never let that happen.

"Okay, I'll come tomorrow at noon, I hope the payment is ready when I arrive"

"We are trusted people, Lady Esdeath."

"I hope so, for your own good"

Esdeath left a threat behind, the director frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything, it's normal for recent graduates to be distrustful, and want to be fierce so as not to be deceived.

Izumo didn't think they would fool him, the chance is slim. Although it is called the merchant guild, it is affiliated with Konoha, and the big fish of konoha are monitoring it.

Especially when it comes to a sale of military supplies, no one wants to lose such supplies, especially when the ninja world war 2 is approaching.
