----------------------------
Chirp… chirp…
A bird flies across the sky, casting a shadow above Izuna's head.
Yawn…
Izuna stands up and stretches his arms.
"Oye! Shisui, Itachi get up. Enough rest already, let's continue with the training." Izuna wakes up an exhausted Shisui and Itachi relaxing beside him.
Itachi and Shisui groggily open their eyes and complain,
"Let us rest a little more. We have trained non-stop for almost seven hours already. You only allowed us an hour break.""Don't be lazy bums and get your asses on the training field or I will double your training from tomorrow." Izuna rebukes them.
"Hai… hai… we understand."
Itachi and Shisui lazily stand up and stretch their muscles.
"…"
Izuna speechlessly looks at their reaction.
'Am I too soft on them?' He ponders.
Itachi and Shisui look at Izuna's expression.
"It is because you always double our training. We don't even have the count of the number of instances?"
Ah!...
'Looks like I have been too strict with their training. I will give them a break for today.'
Shisui and Itachi eagerly wait for his response.
"Is that so? Then, I guess it can't be helped. Just deal with it. You will get used to it someday." Izuna grins and replies to them.
Noooo….
Shisui and Itachi depressingly drop down their head.
"Big Brother Izuna is a slave driver…"
Both of them look at the smiling face of Izuna.
"No, he is a devil." Both of them mutter silently.
"Just kidding! I will give you a break for a day or two…
Izuna looks at their gloomy expression.
Phew...
Shisui and Itachi sigh in relief.
��Oh! Did I hear something offending earlier? Or is it my ears that were ringing because of the breeze?"
Izuna has a wicked smile on his face as he looks at Shisui and Itachi.
"No… No... Izuna nii-san. It must be the air. We spoke nothing earlier." Shisui and Itachi sweat buckets.
'We don't want to increase our training because of our stupid remark.'
They silently pray in their heart.
"Ok! It's fine. Both of you can have a break. How about a hot spring bath? We can even bring Naruto and Sasuke too." Izuna suggests to them.
"Yes… yes… it is a nice idea. We will meet you later in the evening." Shisui hurriedly remarks and escapes with Itachi.
"Looks like I have to give them break more often. I don't want to hamper their growth and potential, especially Itachi."
Izuna continues to swing his blade. There are various Gravity seals on the blade and it almost weighs around 200 kg.
'I have progressed quite a lot in Eight Gates. For now, six gates are my limit. I can't push for the Seventh Gate. There are too many things to learn.'
Kwit… kwit… kwit… kee… kee…
Izuna raises his head and spots an eagle flying through the skies.
'That's a summon from Hokage. Looks like this is the end of my training session.'
Izuna puts back the blade in his bracer and wipes his sweat and uses a simple water jutsu to clean his body.
He flickers towards Hokage Office.
-----------------
Inside Hokage Office,
Hiruzen is looking at a pile of documents in front of him.
Sigh…
'This paperwork. Guess I will not get my research time today.'
Knock… knock…
Someone knocks on the door.
'Come in.'
Izuna enters the office and bows in front of Hiruzen and waits for his orders.
Hiruzen places the paperwork aside and takes out a scroll from the pile.
"Captain Izuna Uchiha of Anbu Team Ro, I have an S-rank mission for you."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
"You are aware of the recent tension between Kumogakure and Konohagakure. In the previous war, our Konoha won the war against Kumo and Kumo lost their Raikage.
Naturally, they weren't satisfied with the result of the war. Strife and conflicts are common at the border, but Kumo has been aggressively recently and may recklessly start another war."
Hiruzen pauses and tosses the scroll towards Izuna. Izuna takes the scroll and skims through its contents.
"To avoid the conflict, the elder council has decided to sign a Peace-Treaty with Kumogakure. So, the entourage of Kumogakure will arrive in a few days."
Hiruzen turns towards Izuna and continues,
"Izuna Uchiha, I want you to monitor their activities and prevent any suspicious activity. I don't want to give Kumo a reason to start another war and disrupt the peace."
"Yes, Hokage-sama. I will deploy my team around the borders and the village and monitor them."
"Good!" Hiruzen nods his head and dismisses Izuna.
Izuna walks towards the door.
"Wait a sec!" Hiruzen stops Izuna.
"In a few more days, the Princess of Hyuga clan will turn three, which coincides with the arrival of the Kumo entourage.
I want you to personally monitor the security of Hyuga Princess if in any case, the Kumo entourage joins the celebration."
"Yes, Hokage-sama. I will keep that in mind." Izuna nods to Hiruzen and flickers out from the office.
'I hope no major incident will happen this time. Konoha is at its weakest right now. If Kumo ignites the spark of war, then Konoha will suffer and that fence sitter may back-stab us.
Hah… being a Hokage is a tiring task. Looks like my age has caught up to me. I am not that energetic anymore.'
Hiruzen depressingly looks at the huge pile of paperwork.
-----------------
Outside Hokage Office,
Izuna is walking towards Uchiha compounds while lost in his thoughts.
'So, it's time for that event. Almost three years passed in the blink of an eye. I have no bad blood with Hyugas. I will help them out this time and maybe they will accept Naruto more openly in the future.'
"Izuna nii-san… Izuna nii-san…"
A childish voice breaks Izuna's train of thoughts.
Izuna turns in the source's direction. Sasuke runs towards him and hugs his legs.
"Izuna nii-san. Let's go to the hot spring. You promise me right. You haven't forgotten about it, right?"
Sasuke stares at Izuna with cute puppy eyes.
"Aww… How can I forget about my promise to you? Come, let's go to hot-springs."
Izuna lifts Sasuke and places him on his shoulders. Sasuke piggyback rides Izuna as they walk towards the Hot Springs.
"Sasuke, let's pick up Naruto. We will go together."
"Ok!"
Izuna walks towards Senju compounds and picks up Naruto.
"Izuna nii-san. I also want piggybawk-ride. It's nawt fare four oly Sasuke to get the piggybawk ride." Naruto hugs Izuna's right leg.
"Ok! Ok! Calm down, Naruto. I will give a piggyback-ride to you too."
Izuna places Sasuke on his left shoulder and picks up Naruto and places him on his right shoulder.
"Yay!"
Naruto claps his little hands and cheers. They continue to walk among the streets of Konoha.
"That's the demon fox brat. Who is carrying him?" One of the civilian murmurs to another civilian as they spot Naruto.
"Shh… that's an Uchiha. Can't you see the Uchiha clan symbol on his back?"
"Uchiha or not… he is carrying that Demon fox. That demon fox killed my father, I can't stand his sight."
Another person whispers to them. Izuna notices them and hears their conversation.
"That bastard Danzo is spreading rumors about Naruto or how else these civilians will come to know the top-secret information of Village."
Tch…
"I won't allow them to slander Naruto."
Izuna looks towards the civilians.
"Genjutsu: Sharingan"
He cast a small genjutsu on them. The three civilians mindlessly walk towards a sewer opening and dives in it.
Plop… plop… plop…
The genjutsu dispels, and they look around.
Argh…
"This smell. Where am I?"
The civilians look around.
"This is… this is… sewer of Konoha. How did I come here? Why can't I recall anything? Have I drunk too much alcohol?"
All three civilians questions themselves.
Izuna reaches the Hot Springs together with Naruto and Sasuke. He spots Shisui and Itachi at the entrance and greets them.
All of them enter the hot spring to enjoy a warm bath.
