Chapter 34

It was a new day for Konoha village. Many shop vendors began their preparations to open their shops for business. Ninjas began to head over to the Hokage office to get their missions and make a living. Everything was normal except for a simple detail. The Hokage office which was supposed to be a quiet place is quite rowdy in the early morning. 

That is because the Hokage advisor Danzo Shamura is now arguing with a girl who looked like she couldn't be bothered to be here. Yep you guessed it right. 

As soon as the sun rays hit the earth izanami came to the Hokage office to take custody of naruto. And she deliberately took her time coming here to make sure all of the Konoha corrupt 3 elders came running here. 

Why were they in a hurry you ask. Well the meeting they were supposed to be holding was actually planned to be in the evening. Well that's what they believed as izanami's words were , " give me your answer tomorrow. ". 

Well due to yesterday's meeting being held in the afternoon no one suspected anything. Even Danzo, the one who quickly catches on to schemes amongst them. Due to their misconception they were unable to execute their plans. After all, who would believe a high ranking person would come in the early morning. 

" We cannot let you take in the nine tails Jinchuriki. That is konoha's property " Danzo roared as he glared at Izanami trying to scare her. 

But izanami, who would even scare Madara, completely ignored his glare and plainly said, " Do I look , I care , if you want the tail beast, why don't I just release it. And besides, do you even have the capital to negotiate with me? You all owe The World Bank a hefty sum and that's beside the money Minato borrowed under name of the Uzumaki Clan "

She sneered at him. Does this man think he is some big shot for her to obey him? Even the Fire daimyo won't dare to say anything when she is speaking. This is how much of an influence the World Bank has in this world. 

" Furthermore with the records we have he seemed to be using the inheritance his parents left him , and as per the rules he has to shoulder the debts his father took " 

" How do you know Minato is Naruto Uzumaki's son? That is supposed to be a S rank secret. " Hiruzen asked in a panic. He and the others heard nothing of this yesterday. They were only told that a clan debt under the Uzumaki name was there and they wanted Naruto, the only known survivor, to pay it back. There was no mention of Minato. Did someone leak the secret to her? 

Izanami threw a disdainful glance at Hiruzen and said, " hmph do you think the World Bank is as stupid as those stupid villagers you have. We have legal documents of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki marriage certificates. In fact the loan Minato borrowed under the name of the Uzumaki clan was to stabilise the situation in the village. 

And their death dates match the birth date of Naruto Uzumaki who bore a great resemblance to his father. And in Konoha there is only one Uzumaki family. We also have Kushina's pregnancy reports. And that is the only reason Naruto Uzumaki is even allowed to inherit his parents legacy. " 

Hiruzen couldn't say anything after hearing those words. It made sense after all. How did Minato Namikaze manage to secure a clan loan under the Uzumaki clan? Small clans don't typically have the opportunity to apply for a clan loan. Only clans that are strong enough or have a significant inheritance have the ability to do so. The bank requires something to act as a guarantee.

"So don't bother this young miss with your boring lies. Will you tell me where Naruto Uzumaki is, or should I just resort to my methods? But remember, if I am forced to do so, then Konoha will have to answer to the Daimyo and the World Bank, So if you know what's best for you don't try any funny business with me " Izanami threatened them with an icy tone.

These fools may attempt to deceive the World Bank, but they wouldn't dare to deceive the Fire Daimyo. Apart from the World Bank, Konoha heavily relied on the funds provided by the Daimyo. If they lost this last support, they would face the same tragedy that Sunagakure is facing now.

And that would spell doom for Hiruzen who wanted to preserve his reputation. After all they don't have someone who could mine gold. So Hiruzen could only reluctantly gesture an Anbu to escort her to where Naruto is. At this time he wished he didn't tap into Naruto's inheritance. After all if he left it at that then Naruto wouldn't be found for another few years until he became an adult. And those few years would be enough for him to put the little kid under his control. 

Izanami, who knew Hiruzen's thoughts, snorted. She really wanted to see what this hypocrite would do when his true nature is revealed. But in the end, she didn't care enough to go through that trouble. Maybe Naruto would do that after he's grown up.

With a smirk that sent chills through everyone, Izanami turned around and followed the Anbu ninja out. But just as she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and said, "Oh right, before I forget, go inform the Uchiha clan about the preparations for the debt. I'm going there today to collect it."

And without waiting for a reply, she walked out of the Hokage's office. Hiruzen just sighed as he felt another headache coming on. Due to Naruto's trouble, he somewhat forgot to inform Fugaku about the arrangement. Usually, he would slowly think of a way to rope Fugaku into agreeing to this. But since he had no time for that, he decided to do something else.

He looked at his old teammate and said, "Danzo, send someone to inform Fugaku about her arrival and the arrangements the village made. If necessary, go there yourself and inform him."

Danzo for once didn't disagree with Hiruzen's decisions nodded. If there is something that would cripple the evil Uchiha then he would do it without even blinking. And he wanted someone to went his anger after Izanami's actions. If not for the rejection he was feeling in his new eye he would have used Kotoamatsukami on Izanami without any delay.
