chirping…
A bird flew across the sky, casting a shadow over Izuna's head.
Vaporize…
Izuna stood up and stretched her hands.
"Oye! Shisui, Itachi is awake. Get enough rest, let's continue the exercise." Izuna woke up the exhausted Shisui and Itachi who was relaxing beside her.
Itachi and Shisui groggily opened their eyes and complained,
"Let's take a little break. We've been practicing non-stop for almost seven hours. You just gave us an hour's rest."
"Don't be lazy, your ass on the practice field or I'll double your practice starting tomorrow." Izuna scolded them.
"Hi .. hi. .. we understand."
Itachi and Shisui lazily stood up and stretched their muscles.
"..."
Izuna was silent seeing their reaction.
'Am I being too soft on them?' He pondered.
Itachi and Shisui looked at Izuna's expression.
"That's because you've always doubled our training. We don't even count the number of instances?"
Uh!...
'It looks like I'm too strict with their training. I'll give them a break for today.'
Shisui and Itachi were patiently waiting for his answer.
"Is that so? Then, I guess how else. Face it. You'll get used to it someday." Izuna grinned and replied to them.
No. gabe….
Shisui and Itachi desperately dropped their heads.
"Sister Izuna is a slave driver ..."
The two of them looked at Izuna's smiling face.
"No, he's the devil." Both of them muttered in silence.
"Just kidding! I'll give you a break for a day or two...
Izuna looked at their grim expressions.
Phew...
Shisui and Itachi breathed a sigh of relief.
��Oh! Did I hear anything offensive before? Or my ears ringing in the breeze?"
Izuna had an evil smile on her face as she looked at Shisui and Itachi.
"No... No. gabe... Izuna. It must be air. We didn't talk anything before." Shisui and Itachi's sweat spot.
'We don't want to improve our training because of our stupid statement.'
They silently prayed in their hearts.
"okay! Its alright. You two can rest. How about a hot shower? We can even bring Naruto and Sasuke as well." Izuna suggested to them.
"Yes. yeah, that's a good idea. We'll meet tonight." Shisui hurriedly commented and ran off with Itachi.
"It seems I should give them more rest. I don't want to hinder their growth and potential, especially Itachi."
Izuna continued to swing her sword. There are various Gravity seals on the blades and they weigh almost about 200 kg.
'I have grown quite a lot in the Eight Gates. For now, the six gates are my limit. I cannot push the Seventh Gate. There are too many things to learn.'
Kwit.kwit...kwit...kee…
Izuna raised her head and saw an eagle flying in the sky.
'That's a call from Hokage. Looks like this is the end of my training session.'
Izuna put back her sword on her bracelet and wiped off her sweat and used a simple water jutsu to clean her body.
He blinked towards the Hokage Office.
Inside the Hokage Office,
Hiruzen was looking at the pile of documents in front of him.
Sighs…
'This letter. I don't think I'll get my research time today.'
Tap ... tap ...
Someone knocked on the door.
'Log in.'
Izuna entered the office and bowed in front of Hiruzen and waited for his orders.
Hiruzen put the document aside and took out a scroll from the pile.
"Captain Izuna Uchiha of Anbu Team Ro, I have an S-rank mission for you."
"You are aware of the recent tensions between Kumogakure and Konohagakure. In the previous war, Konoha we won the war against Kumo and Kumo lost their Raikage.
Naturally, they were dissatisfied with the outcome of the war. Disputes and conflicts are common on the border, but Kumo has been aggressive lately and may recklessly start another war."
Hiruzen stopped and threw the scroll towards Izuna. Izuna took the scroll and skimmed through the contents.
"In order to avoid conflict, the council of elders has decided to sign a Peace Treaty with Kumogakure. So, the Kumogakure troupe will arrive in a few days."
Hiruzen turned towards Izuna and continued,
"Izuna Uchiha, I want you to monitor their activity and prevent any suspicious activity. I don't want to give Kumo a reason to start another war and disturb the peace."
"Yes, Hokage-sama. I will deploy my team around the border and villages and monitor them."
"Good!" Hiruzen nodded and rejected Izuna.
Izuna walked towards the door.
"Wait a minute!" Hiruzen stopped Izuna.
"In a few days, the Princess of the Hyuga clan will be three years old, which coincides with the arrival of the Kumo troupe.
I'd like you to personally monitor Princess Hyuga's safety if anyhow, Kumo's entourage joins in on the celebration."
"Yes, Hokage-sama. I'll remember it." Izuna nodded at Hiruzen and walked out of the office.
'I hope no major incident will happen this time. Konoha is in its weakest state at the moment. If Kumo ignites the spark of war, then Konoha will suffer and the guard may stab us in the back.
Hah. It seems like my age has been chasing me. I'm not so energetic anymore.'
Hiruzen sadly looked at the large pile of documents.
Outside the Hokage Office,
Izuna walked towards the Uchiha complex while immersed in his thoughts.
'So it was time for the show. Nearly three years passed in the blink of an eye. I don't have a bad relationship with Hyugas. I will help them this time and maybe they will accept Naruto more openly in the future.'
"Izuna... Izuna nii-san's..."
The childish voice broke Izuna's mind.
Izuna turned towards the source. Sasuke ran towards her and hugged her leg.
"Izuna. Let's go to the hot spring. You promised me. You haven't forgotten it, have you?"
Sasuke looked at Izuna with cute puppy eyes.
"aww... How can I forget my promise to you? Come on, let's go to the hot spring."
Izuna lifted Sasuke up and placed it on his shoulder. Sasuke was piggybacking on Izuna as they walked towards the Hot Springs.
"Sasuke, let's go get Naruto. We'll go together."
"okay!"
Izuna walked towards the Senju complex and took Naruto.
"Izuna. I also want to ride piggybawk. It doesn't cost Sasuke four olys to ride piggybawk." Naruto hugged Izuna's right leg.
"OK! Okay fine! Relax, Naruto. I'll give you a ride too."
Izuna placed Sasuke on his left shoulder and took Naruto and placed him on his right shoulder.
"Yes!"
Naruto clapped and cheered. They continued to walk between the streets of Konoha.
"That's a demon fox boy. Who's carrying it?" One of the civilians muttered to the other civilians as they saw Naruto.
"Sst.. that's Uchiha. Can't you see the symbol of the Uchiha clan on his back?"
"Uchiha or not. He brought the demon fox. That demon fox killed my father, I can't stand to see it."
Others whispered to them. Izuna watched them and heard their conversation.
"Danzo's bastard spread rumors about Naruto or how else these civilians would know the Village's secret information."
Ck…
"I won't let them slander Naruto."
Izuna looked towards the civilians.
"Generic: Sharingan"
He threw a little genjutsu at them. Three civilians mindlessly walked towards the sewer hole and dived in it.
lop. plop…
Genjutsu drove away, and they looked around.
the argh…
"This smell. Where am I?"
Civilians look around.
"This.ini.the Konoha disposal channel. How could I come here? Why can't I remember anything? Am I drinking too much alcohol?"
The three civilians questioned themselves.
Izuna reached the Hot Springs along with Naruto and Sasuke. She's melimeled
