"Tsunade-san, I will be leaving the village for a while. I have been assigned a secret mission by Hokage-sama. So, I won't be present in the village for a while."
Izuna said half right and half lying to him.
'It would be too much trouble to explain to him. I hope he understands.'
Tsunade regained her senses and looked at Izuna with a pensive look.
"You serious, son? You're going on a long-term mission, that's also out of the village…." Tsunade frowned.
"... Then what about me? I wanted to explore the world in search of new medical knowledge, and now you're gone before me. Who's gonna keep Naruto this long?" Tsunade.
"Talci-san! It won't take long for me. I'll move out of the village just for a year or two. After that I will be back. You can set Naruto up during this time."
Tsunade pondered for a moment before she nodded.
"Alright, then you should hurry up and finish whatever you are trying to do? I'll just wait two years."
"Thank you, Tsunade-san."
Izuna returned to her house. During dinner time, she tells Akira and Aiko.
"Mom, Dad! I will be away from home for a year or two. I have an urgent long-term mission to accomplish."
"Son! Why don't you refuse this mission? I don't want to be parted with you all this time."
Aiko hugged Izuna.
"Last time! You were gone for almost two months. I don't want to spend another year or two without you."
Aiko hugged him tightly and sighed sadly.
"Mom! I can come back whenever I want. I have mastered the Fourth Hokage Jutsu. I can only teleport back when my mission is over. Just a year or two. They'll be gone soon."
"What's? You'll be away from the mission for two years. It's too long, I won't take it. Just reject Hokage-sama. I won't hear your opinion on this matter." Aiko spoke stubbornly.
"But mom!..."
"No, but..."
"Aiko, it must be an important mission if it is issued directly by Hokage-sama. Our Izuna is strong enough to overcome any kind of difficulty. In just two years. He even fought in the Third Ninja War and gained a name for himself." Akira tries to negotiate with Aiko.
"Good! But you should visit us regularly. If you promise me, then I'll allow it." Aiko folded her hands and looked at Izuna.
"okay! I pledge. I'll visit you regularly. Besides, I also want a cute little sister or boy all this time." Izuna joked.
"You brat! It seems you have learned a lot."
Aiko pulled Izuna's ear.
whoa…
Izuna whined in pain. After a minute, Aiko let go, and she returned to her room to prepare for her departure.
"Aiko!... About what Izuna said. He's so lonely alone, why don't we..."
whoa…
Aiko steps on Akira's foot.
"Try to give birth once and you'll understand my pain."
"So, .. is that not?" Akira sadly looked at Aiko.
"We can consider it. Don't get me wrong, it's for Izuna's sake..." Aiko blushed in embarrassment.
Akira gulped his saliva, and a wide grin appeared on his face. Aiko had no hope of becoming a mother anymore. But Tsunade Senju, one of the legendary Sannins and the greatest Medical Ninja finds a cure for her.
Tsunade researched the matter after Izuna's request and after four years of research, Tsunade discovered the Surrogacy method.
It surprised Izuna when she heard that Tsunade found a way to use 'In-Vitro Fertilization' and give birth through an assisted Gestational Substitute Mother.
'He was one of the medical geniuses. I wonder what miracle he could create in my previous world.'
It is Izuna's mind when Tsunade explains a viable solution to Aiko's condition.
'Unfortunately, her uterus is permanently damaged and I have no solution for it.'

Later tonight,
Izuna walked out of her house. He wanted to make a final visit to Anbu Headquarters and meet with his team and say goodbye.
He came out of the village and entered the forest. The headquarters of Anbu is located on the outskirts of the Village. Izuna entered the headquarters, and many Anbus identified him and greeted him.
After walking for a while, he entered the room assigned to Team Ro and met his team.
"Hello! How are you all doing?" Izuna waved her hand at them.
"Captain! Where's your Anbu outfit?" Yugao.
He recently joined Anbu on Hokage's recommendation due to his special abilities. Yugao can seal living and non-living creatures inside the scroll. He is also a ninja-type sensor.
"Your eyes are quite sharp, Yugao. Yes, I don't wear Anbu clothes because I have resigned from Anbu. I'm a normal Jounin now. Kakashi Hatake will be your new captain." Izuna told them.
"What?.. You left Captain Anbu.. and... I. promoted to Captain." Kakashi asked in surprise.
"Kakashi! You are a capable Anbu with many S-level missions and important task completion. With many achievements under your belt, it won't be long before you officially become Captain. My resignation only speeds up progress." Izuna explained to them.
"But still.." muttered Kakashi.
"Congratulations! Vice Captain. No, you're the Captain now."
Team members congratulate Kakashi.
"Thank you! I guess."
Kakashi received their congratulations.
"Captain! What are your plans for the future? Are you going to nurture a new genin or casually take on some missions?" One of the team members questions.
"No, I have no plans to babysit anyone. Hokage-sama has assigned a special mission to me, and I will set out for it. It's a long-term mission, so don't expect to see me soon. " Izuna was chatting with them.
"Now let's celebrate Kakashi's promotion." Izuna cheered them on.
We all celebrated Kakashi's promotion and encouraged him.
"You'll be a good Captain, Kakashi!" I quietly whispered to him and walked out of Anbu headquarters.
'It's time to get out of the village and explore this vast Shinobi world.'
Izuna walked out of the Anbu Headquarters and entered the forest.
'I want to say goodbye to everyone but it looks like I have to tie some loose ends.'
Izuna noticed the presence of many shinobi hidden within the forest.
'Share'
He activated his Sharingan and examined his attacker.
'Hmm. root member. Danzo I almost forgot about you and here it is! You came knocking on my door. It seems like you are fed up with your life and want to meet the King of Hell.'
"What does this mean? Why are so many Root members following in my footsteps? I don't think I've done anything to get so much attention from Root. I'm not even part of Anbu anymore, so what does this mean? this is?" Izuna asked them.
He really wanted to know their reasons.
The Root members took out their secret weapon and threw it towards Izuna.
"So you have no intention of speaking. Alright with me, I'll find out everything from your cold corpse. Now, let's dance."
Izuna took out her tantamount and skillfully repelled all the incoming Shuriken.
He called out to the shuriken from his bracelet and made some signatures,
'Jutsu Shuriken Shadow Clone'
Shuriken replicated into many copies and shot towards the Root members.
Root members took out their swords and skillfully fended off all secret weapons.
'Oh! All of them were quite skilled and there were around fifty elite Root members. Well, their numbers don't matter to me. Be it fifty or a hundred, all of them were the same cold corpses in my eyes.'
Izuna stretched out her hand and planted the Chakra in her hand. The chakra forms into a bow with a tight rope. Izuna plucked the strings with full voltage.
'Light Power: Fast Fire Flow'
Twang…
He released tension from the bowstring.
Swish…
Various sniffer arrow projectiles chasing Root members.
"That's a long-distance jutsu. The defense unit put up a barrier. Sensor unit locks Chakranya. The sealing unit is preparing to seal his movements."
One of the Root members ordered another member. Many Shinobi Roots walked in front and made some signatures.
"Ninjutsu Partnership: Rashomon Barrier"
They set up a multi-layered barrier to block the arrow. All Root members took cover behind the barrier.
'Water Style: High Pressure Jet'
Izuna fired a burst of high-pressure water to break through the barrier.
"Defense unit! Change the barrier type to fit the jutsu."
The barrier unit immediately makes a signature and installs an additional barrier within seconds.
"You are ready enough. Have you studied all my details and formulated a plan against me? If that's the case, let me see how far you've prepared. It's been a long time since I've used Taijutsu in combat."
Izuna cracked her neck and stretched her muscles.
