Naruto: The Hidden Protector

89: I hope you don’t go back on your words in the future,

“Aaaaahhh “ Obito screamed as he woke up. He looked at his surroundings and saw that he was in the old hideout that he had inherited from Madara.

“What happened Obito did you poop in your sleep. “ Tobi asked jokingly as he came to see Obito. It’s not every day they see him showing such emotions after Rin’s death.

“Haa haaa “ Obito breathed heavily as he wiped his sweat from his forehead. He felt that he had a very bad nightmare but he can’t remember what exactly. ‘Wait, when did I return to the base to sleep?

“ Hey Guruguru when did I come back here “ He asked as he looked at Tobi. He didn’t remember coming back after completing his mission.

“Well, you came back yesterday evening like usual. “ Tobi answered as he looked at Obito with puzzlement.

“I see, “ he said as he began to remember yesterday’s memories. After he snuck into that Izanami girl's mansion he heard about an auction house being held in Konoha. And they were discussing what items to highlight as they have collected many treasures for all these years.

And this piece of information had his interest peaked. He wondered what sort of artifacts would they auction there. So after stealing a VIP ticket, he came back. If this auction house has some decent artifacts then he would steal them and cause chaos in Konoha.

Not only would this cause the World Bank to clash with Konoha again he could also rope the other hidden villages and start a new ninja war.

The more chaotic the hidden villages the better it is for him. Not only would that in fighting make them weaken each other it would also allow him to rope in some customers to Akatsuki. After all apart from large ninja villages, independent organizations like Akatsuki were the general public’s second option.

And Konan has been nagging that they are not making enough money these days. So Obito had to find a way to solve this situation.

‘Sigh things I do to create my perfect world with my Rin ‘ Obito thought as began to freshen up. He still has numerous jobs to do like finding new potential members for the organization.

‘But still, I feel I just forgot something important. Hmm, maybe it was the dream I had. Although I can’t remember it my instincts are telling me it is something I would dread ‘ Obito muttered inwardly.

While the poor Obito was going on with his usual day Izanami and Kaguya were laughing their asses off.

What Izanami did was cast a seal on Obito so each time he false asleep he would dream of his greatest nightmares. And it seems Obito’s greatest nightmare is being friend-zoned.

“Hahaha izanami this time you really did a good job, “ Kaguya said as she wiped away the tears that were coming out of her eyes due to laughing that hard. Usually, she doesn’t care much about these pranks Izanami usually does but this one is really too funny. She is even tempted to show Rin this video of Obito’s dream that Izanami managed to project to a screen.

“ yeah I know right “ Izanami nodded as she agreed with Kaguya. What she used on Obito is a modified inner demon seal.

Normally this seal would be applied to people who are having a bottleneck. This seal forces them to face their inner demons and conquers them to break their bottlenecks. But after Izanami’s modification, this seal would only make the person confront their inner demons every time they sleep. And what's more, they will completely forget about everything they saw in their dreamlands.

So for the next few years, poor Obito would have to be woken up by nightmares daily. And that too without knowing what he was dreaming.

“ How is the auction house going, “ Kaguya asked as finished calming herself down.

“Well things are already now, I’m just waiting for the opening day to come, “ Izanami said with a smile. Although the opening day is still four days away she has finished preparing everything needed.

The auction products, catalogs, and even security measures have been prepared ahead of schedule. This is one of her past life habits. She always tried to finish her work before the deadline. This way she could have more breathing room when a new problem arises.

“ That's good but is it really necessary for you to change Obito’s memories so that he changes his focus towards the auction house? “Kaguya asked with puzzlement. Izanami could easily change Obito’s memories into making him believe that he had control over Izanami so that he would not bother with them ever again.

But instead of that Izanami modified his memories so that he would shift his focus into the auction house and make trouble there. She even gave him a VIP ticket.

“ Of course it is. Do you know if Obito suddenly lost interest in me then not only Black Zetsu, but even a normal Zetsu would be suspicious? How could Uchiha who are known to be one-track-minded suddenly lose all interest in their target? “ Izanami said. Although she isn't a stalker like Black Zetsu she could still be considered very knowledgeable about the Uchiha clan.

When you catch an Uchiha’s interest then you should be prepared to have your life full of thorns. They are very persistent and most of the time their approaches end with nothing but trouble.

After all, when a clan of arrogant Tsunderes that have anger issues comes together normal people have a tough time handling them.

“ I see I didn't think of that possibility “ Kaguya nodded, accepting that explanation. She isn't that much of a schemer so she doesn't see the much bigger picture like Izanami.

“Well, anyway do you guys also want to come to the auction house? I’m sure you guys would surely love the experience “ Izanami said as she looked at Kaguya with a smile. Her eyes had a calculating light that she hid perfectly from Kaguya.

Izanami had a very crazy business idea that she wanted to try. If this idea works then she would be able to start another new successful business.

“Hmm, sure why not “ Kaguya said not knowing that she had doomed her animal friends to a day full of torture.

“That’s wonderful I hope you don’t go back on your words in the future, “ Izanami said with a sweet smile while secretly storing away the recording device that she activated when this conversation started.

In recent years her grandmother seemed to have developed her shamelessness into a very high limit. So unless you have hard evidence she would not agree to anything even if there was a contract. Izanami wondered whose influence that was, as when she was just freed from the seal, she had been quite honorable.

She should find that just in case Naruto was also led astray like her. She didn’t want him to go to the dark side. At least not until he became the Hokage.
