Naruto: The Hidden Protector

Long ago there was a time when chakra was limited to a few people except for a small village. The reason why this village is special is because this village is the home to the Ninshu religion headed by the famous Sage of Six Paths Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.

Years had passed since the catastrophe that engulfed the world. With the help of his brother, Hagoromo managed to seal away their mother on the Moon. After that, he took the role of spreading and teaching the wonders of chakra while the younger brother took the responsibility of monitoring the seal.

Ninshu was the name of the religion Hagoromo decided as he did his duty. For years he traveled all over the world spreading his teachings and helping those poor souls who suffered due to his mother's rule.

After a few years of traveling, he finally settled down in a small village. He got married and had three kids.

The oldest inheriting his father's eyes was a genius who perfected his father's ways creating many new techniques that use chakra and help the daily lives of the villagers.

The second son inherited his father's special constitution, although not as much of a genius as the first, was a genius in his own way. His strength lies not in power but in the ability to bring people together. He was like a social butterfly that everyone knew and loved dearly.

The third who was the youngest of all of them was a girl who could be considered the oddball in the family. She has not inherited anything from her father making any of her efforts pale in comparison to her siblings.

But in this era, this is expected as women are not treated very equally. So even when she didn't inherit anything no one discriminated against her as they didn't have any expectations to begin with.

This led to the girl feeling quite dejected. Even though the adults didn't bully or do anything mean to her she always felt she was being treated badly.

Every time she accomplished something no one would praise her as her older siblings were bringing in results way better than what she could do. And to top it all off every adult wanted her to behave like an ordinary lady and just be a trope for her future husband.

Although the girl wanted to lash at these adults she couldn't as this is the norm in this era. Daughters are expected to behave and be obedient to their husbands and be competent enough to look after children and the elderly.

If it was any normal girl she would have grown up to be a lady just like the elder wanted her to be. But how could Izanami who lived her first life in the 20th century accept living a boring life like that?

What's more, as a transmigrater she had her own pride. How could she be a nobody while her two brothers live the life they were destined for?

But reality is often cruel. She didn't inherit any of her father's genes. And Izanami knew that she couldn't catch up to her brothers without using any cheats.

And Izanami was supposed to be the biggest cheater of all as she was the direct daughter of the freaking sage of six paths. But somehow she didn't manage to activate her cheat.

And while she was mulling over this she suddenly had this thought ' Since I already have the Sage of Six Paths bloodline why don't I refine it so I would be able to activate its hidden powers? '

She knew that the world of Naruto revolved around bloodlines. The purer your bloodline is the stronger you become. Usually being part of the future legendary clans is enough for one to rise to the top as many fanfics give out many ways to do so.

And the method Izanami used is Senjutsu. She wanted to see whether she could use natural energy to stimulate her bloodline enough for her to activate her dormant powers.

Although the theory sounded very easy to research, the truth is it is very dangerous. Natural energy is a type of energy that is very dangerous and even sages are careful of handling it. But luckily this is no concern for Izanami who had a body that could handle any energy.

Yes, ironically she did have a body that is suitable for cultivating any energy despite not inheriting the sharingan or sage body. And Izanami was glad she at least got that as her other two wishes are still pending.

Yes that, Mr. Joy forgot to inform her that her other two wishes would take some time to be granted. Especially the independent space she asked for. She won't be getting that until 200 years. As for the mind library, it would at least take 20 years.

Maybe it is due to that guy being Immortal he clearly doesn't have a sense of time. And when Izanami first learned of this she cried for a whole day. Thankfully she was just a baby so no one found it strange.

Well anyway after deciding her path Izanami began her experiment. Although she knew she wouldn't be in danger, others didn't know that. So when her experiment was found she was grounded heavily by her father who told her to stop doing these dangerous stunts.

But Izanami ignored him completely and continued her research in secret. Although it was hard she managed to create a secret base in her room by using seals. She didn't want to speak about her constitution to her father; she didn't have a good relationship with him.

He was like the others and judged her behavior un ladylike and wanted to stop it. And maybe it was her imagination but she always felt he was a bit cold towards him. Maybe it is due to her having silver hair just like Kaguya.

For months she did her research in secret. And just when she was nearing a breakthrough she was busted again.

But this time she was found out by her cousin who just happened to come and meet her uncle and her family for the first time.

When Izanami was just 10 years old their family was visited by Hamura and his family who lived on the moon.

Hamura Otsutsuki has two children. The oldest was a boy named Hiyashi and the youngest was the girl named Hinami.

Both of them are similar to Indra and Ashura inherited their respective parent's genes perfectly. The oldest inherited Hamura's talent in taijutsu while Hinami inherited the sealing talent.

At a young age, Hinami's talent in sealing arts was second to none. So when she saw some seals she couldn't help but get curious.

And this curiosity was what led to Izanami being discovered.
