Chapter 494: 459. A Beautiful Sight
"Dad!"
Tatsuya and Kanna hug Izuna in a warm embrace. Their little hands wrap around his neck and Kanna giggle and plants a kiss on Izuna's cheek.
"Tatsuya, Kanna!" Izuna ruffles their hair and a warm smile appears on his face.
"Dad is back!"
Mm…
Tatsuya and Kanna snuggle in his embrace. A smile appears on Aiko's face as she notices the glee in Izuna's eyes.
"Come eat breakfast with us! I made your favourite food."
"Mm…" Izuna nods at his mother and turns towards the entrance of the house.
"I am not alone. A friend came with me!"
Aiko glances at the entrance and notices Seiryū calmly standing at the gate. Seiryū has a regal look on his face. He faintly smiles at Izuna's meeting with his mother as he recalls his mother.
He didn't have many memories of his mother since she passed shortly after birthing his younger sister. But he still fondly remembers the few days he spent with his mother. Those were the only moments of familial warmth in his memories. His father, being the leader of the clan, didn't show many emotions on his face. There was never any display of joy, affection, or any other such emotion on his father's face.
As the head of the clan, he places the clan before his family or he rarely spent any time with his family. The attendants met almost all of their needs.
"Oh! A friend!"
Aiko smiles at Seiryū and invites him inside the house.
"Please come in!"
Izuna also nods at him.
"Then, thanks for the invite, Aunty. I will trouble you!" Seiryū warmly smiles at Aiko and gently bows to her.
The fragile-looking old woman in front of him isn't worth the attention of a prince of the astral demon clan. Not just her, but every being in this world is as lowly as insects in his eyes. For a divine being like him, the mortal holds nothing but momentary fascination, and the current war in this world is just a source of amusement for him.
However, he has long since discarded his identity as the prince of the Astral Demon clan. Currently, he is nothing more than a friend of Izuna and as a friend; he has to pay proper due respect to the latter's mother.
"Ah!" Aiko is stunned by the majestic vibe of the man in front of her. She glances at Izuna from the corner of his eyes to inquire more about his friend.
Izuna notices the subtle hint in her eyes, thanks to his powerful senses. He chuckles and introduces the latter.
"Mom, this is my friend Seiryū. He holds a noble identity and is a prince of a distant place. During these past three years, when I was missing, he helped me a lot." Izuna gives a superficial introduction to Seiryū's identity.
He didn't want to create a scene by revealing Seiryū's true identity.
"Oh! No wonder he has such a magnificent aura around him." Aiko nods at him and didn't pay much attention to the matter.
Izuna enjoys the homemade food cooked by his mother after such a long time. Even Seiryū enjoys the food prepared by Aiko.
"Mmm… Aunty, I have never eaten anything delicious like this. Not only your beauty but even your cooking is so outstanding." Seiryū drinks a spoonful of miso soup.
To him, the taste of the food doesn't matter; only the intention behind the genuine nature of her hospitality, which is free from any power struggle or political matter.
Seiryū enjoys the simple breakfast of steamed rice, miso soup, grilled fish and omelette while Izuna asks a series of questions from Aiko. He didn't mention anything about the war or the whereabouts of the rest of his family.
His senses have already scanned the entire planet, and he is aware of everything that's happening in the war. The struggle of the allied shinobi force, the ambush of the Zetsu army, the counterattack of Raikage's platoon, the grim expression on Onoki's face and the heroic expression of Mei. He even notices his father, Akira, bravely facing a group of Edo Tensei.
'Well, they aren't a match for Dad and from the looks of it, the Allied Shinobi force will definitely win today's battle.'
After breakfast, Izuna plays with his kids for the entire afternoon.
"Tatsuya, Kanna! Dad will take you both to a very amazing place."
"OHH!" Tatsuya and Kanna stare at him with glowing eyes.
"But first…"
Izuna glances at the shadow of the kids.
"It's been a while, Roen." He calls the name of his wolf summon Roen.
Awooh…
A giant white wolf jumps out from the shadows and bows in front of Izuna.
"Master!"
"WOAH! Amazing!"
Tatsuya and Kanna stare at the giant body of Roen in amazement.
"Onii-chan, it jumped out of the ground!"
Kanna points towards the ground beneath their feet.
"Really?!"
Tatsuya taps the ground with feet.
A smile appears on Izuna's face from the innocent antics of his kids. He turns towards Roen and opens his mouth.
"Roen, it has been almost nine years since that fateful day. It's long past the duration of our summoning contract. In these past few years, I am sure you came to see the world around you in a new light. Now, today, I release you from the shackles of our contract and you are free to do whatever or wherever you want to go."
"Ma-master!" Roen's eyes tear up at Izuna's words.
"You were right! All these years, I saw and felt a lot of unfamiliar things in this world. The black-and-white world has become more colourful. It was all thanks to you. So, master, let me continue to serve beside you and protect these little ones."
Izuna notices the love and cares in Roen's eyes for Tatsuya and Kanna.
"Very well! Then allow me to change the old summoning contract."
Izuna bites his thumb and drops a drop of blood.
Fwoosh…
The blood group falls on Roen's forehead and a giant fuinjutsu seal with numerous complicated runes and hieroglyphs appears around Roen.
AWOOO…
Roen howls with joy as his body glows with resplendent white light. Roen's giant body shrinks after the glow diminishes. His white fur gains a majestic glow and his body exudes a kingly aura. After obtaining Izuna's blood, Roen evolves further and comes to share an intricate bond with him.
"With this new contract, I will give you a new fitting name for your current state. From today onwards, you will be FENRIR!"
"FENRIR!"
AWOO…
Roen releases a joyful howl and licks Izuna's face.
"Alright! Alright!" Izuna pushes him away.
"Dad!" Kanna and Tatsuya tip-toes to Izuna.
Izuna lowers his head and allows both of them to hug his neck. Both of them stare at Fenrir with shining bright eyes. Izuna easily understands their intention and turns towards Fenrir.
"I am sure you came to understand that I don't need your help anymore. However…"
"Yes, Master!"
Fenrir turns towards Tatsuya and Kanna.
"Tatsuya, Kanna! Do you want to pet and hug him?" Izuna chuckles and asks the two little critters.
"Can we?" both of them asks him with glowing eyes.
"Of course, you can!" Izuna didn't resist the temptation and hugs them both in his embrace.
"Both of you close your eyes for a second." Izuna gently covers their eyes.
"Like this!" Tatsuya and Kanna place their little hands around their eyes.
"Yes!"
Izuna gently pricks their hand with their knowledge and quickly heals the little wound. He sends two drops of blood towards Fenrir and signs a contract on their behalf.
"Alright! You two can open your eyes."
Both kids open their eyes and glance at Fenrir. They feel a sensation of closeness to Fenrir and quickly jump from Izuna's embrace and hop onto Fenrir's back.
Awoo…
Fenrir howls and ferries the two around the backyard.
"Yay!"
Both of them enjoy the ride on Fenrir's back. Izuna returns to his mother's side who arrived in the backyard a few moments ago.
Both of them smile at the antics of their child. Seiryū had already left for the place Izuna previously mentioned to him.
"It's such a beautiful sight!" Aiko wipes her tears as she stares at the figure of Tatsuya and Kanna.
"Yes, it is!"
Chapter 495: 460. A blissful moment
After enjoying a peaceful moment with his kids, Izuna decides to visit Seiryū.
"Kanna! Tatsuya! Dad has some important work to handle. I will be back soon!" He gently smiles at the kids.
Whoosh…
Both kids jump down from the top of Fenrir's back and dash toward Izuna. They hug his legs like a koala.
"Don't go, Daddy, pwease!"
Kanna and Tatsuya stare at him with glittering puppy eyes.
"AH!"
A critical hit!
Izuna's heart takes a critical hit at the expression of his kids.
"Well… umm…"
"Kanna, Tatsuya! Don't be a bad boy and girl. Your Dad must have a very important task to complete." Aiko attempts to placate the kid's feelings.
Izuna glances at their expression, and the glow from their eyes overwhelms him.
"Fine! Dad will take you on a trip." In the face of the innocence of his kids, his heart melts and he relents to their demands. Also, he feels a sense of guilt in his heart.
He missed the toddler phase of his kids. He wasn't there to pamper and cuddle them at the time. So, he wants to make up for them.
'Also, it's not like that place is dangerous.'
"Yay! Daddy will take us on a trip." Both kids dance around in happiness.
"Dad, I want to go to an amusement park." Tatsuya tugs his sleeves.
"Me too! Me too!" Kanna also nods her head.
"Then Dad will take you to an amusement park."
"Will it be alright?" Aiko asks him with slight worry in her tone.
The world is in the middle of a crisis due to the ongoing war. So, she is worried about the safety of her grandkids.
"Everything will be fine! Also, your son is the strongest shinobi to ever exist!" Izuna proudly raises his head in front of his mother.
Pfft… Haha…
Aiko burst out a chuckle at the childish act of her son.
"Alright! Mother trusts you. So, take care of the kids."
"Mm…"
Izuna nods at her and signals to Roen.
Fwoosh…
Roen jumps into the kids' shadows and vanishes from their view.
"WOAH! Where did he go?"
Kanna and Tatsuya tap their shadows with their hands, only to touch the ground.
"Let's go!"
Izuna lifts them both and places them on his left and right shoulder, respectively.
"Then, I am off!"
He waves at his mother and slowly levitates toward the sky.
"WOW! We are flying!" Tatsuya glance around in curiosity.
"Ah! While Kanna tightly hugs Izuna's neck and hides her face in his embrace.
"Is my little princess afraid of heights?" Izuna gently pats Kanna's head.
"No, Daddy! I am not afraid of heights. But it's a bit scary." Kanna shakes her head.
"Of course, my little princess is very brave. How could she be afraid of heights?" Izuna pampers her.
"Wow, these fluffy white clouds are so cool!" Tatsuya places around with the clouds and waves his hands through the clouds.
Ah!
Kanna slowly opens her eyes and stares at the white clouds around her. She carefully extends her hands towards a cloud but her hands phase through it.
"It's so cool, but I can't touch it." Disappointment appears in her eyes.
"Oh! So, my cute little princess wants to play in clouds?" Izuna smiles at her.
"Can I?" Kanna asks with slight hesitation.
"Of course!"
Izuna waves his hands and converts the entire formless cloud into a solid, fluffy field. He lands on top of the cloud and gestures to the kids.
"Look!"
He plucks out a fragment of cloud and hands it over to Kanna. Kanna gently pokes the cloud fragment, and it bounces off her fingers.
"So cool!"
Tatsuya jumps down from Izuna's shoulder.
Sproing…
The surface of the cloud acts as a trampoline and bounces him.
"It's so fun!"
He continues to jump around on the cloud.
"Onii-chan! Wait for me!"
Kanna also jumps down from Izuna's shoulder and jumps around on the cloud with Tatsuya.
Izuna smiles at the cheerful faces of his kids and feels a sense of contentment in his heart.
'It's only with my family that I can feel all these emotions.'
He also joins the kids in their fun and bounces around with them. After a while, he makes swings and slides with the clouds.
The kids play on the clouds for a while and soon get bored with it.
"Dad! There is no one here."
"Let's go to somewhere where there are lots of people."
Izuna picks them and turns in a certain direction.
Whoosh…
The next second, the group arrives on a street full of people. There are numerous skyscrapers in their surroundings.
"So cool!" Kanna and Tatsuya stare around in amazement at the sudden change in the scenario. One second, they were in the skies, on top of clouds; the next second they are in a city full of people."
"Dad is so amazing!" Kanna plants a kiss on Izuna's cheek.
"My cute little princess is so sweet!" Izuna gently pokes Kanna's cheeks.
"WOAH!" The sudden appearance of Izuna and his kids surprises the surrounding people. But Izuna ignores them and walks towards the tallest building in the city. Kanna and Tatsuya look around in amazement and marvels at every sight.
Both of them have never been to such a wonderful city, and it's an unfamiliar sight for them.
"Onii-chan, look look! That's Dad!"
Kanna points towards a giant bronze statue that looks similar to Izuna. Both of them hop down from Izuna's shoulder and dashes toward Izuna's statue. There are a couple of tourists around them.
"Yes, it's Dad's statue." The two kids look at the statue up close.
The surrounding tourists turn toward the two kids and are stunned by their cute appearance of the two kids. Most of them start to take pictures of the two kids.
"Onii-chan, look there is a statue of Ayaka Onee-chan, Naruto and Sasuke Onii-chan, and Izumi Onee-chan too!"
Izuna smiles at the two little fellows and slowly walks toward them. He isn't surprised by the statues of the rest of the people, since he already figured out the situation from the text near the statues.
Hmm…
Izuna glances in a direction and notices a group of guards led by a person. A Celtic knot crest is engraved on the uniforms of the guards.
"Izuna-sama!"
The person in the lead hastens his steps and arrives in front of Izuna. He quickly bows his head to Izuna in respect.
"It's been a while, Kei!" Izuna nods at him.
"Izuna-sama, you recognize me," Kei asks in surprise.
"Of course, how can I forget the events from a few years back?" Izuna chuckles and turns towards his kids.
"Kanna, Tatsuya! Come to Dad!"
Both kids hop towards him and hide behind his back to escape from the various peeping eyes in their surroundings.
The rest of the tourists also notice Izuna's presence.
"Hey look… Isn't that person the same as the statue?" A few tourists with sharp observation skills point out.
"He indeed looks like the statue. So, does this mean he is the legendary…"
Soon, a group of people crowds around Izuna.
"This isn't the suitable place for us to talk." Izuna pats his kid's head and turns to Kei.
"Yes, Izuna-sama!"
Kei orders his guards to clear the crows and leads Izuna toward the headquarters of the Trinity Corporation. Soon, the group arrives at the entrance of the Trinity Resort.
Akari, Yuri, and Viktor are patiently waiting for their arrival at the entrance. They welcome his arrival with a red carpet and a group of Uzu clan members as servants on the sides.
"Lord Izuna!" The three bow their head in respect.
"There is no need for such formalities." Izuna shakes his head as he walks towards the Uzu clan trio.
"I am here on a casual visit with my kids."
Yuri's eyes glow as she stares at the two little fellows beside Izuna. She smiles and waves her hands at them. A rainbow color jellyfish float around her.
"Oh!" Kanna and Tatsuya's eyes glow at the sight of the Niji jellyfish.
"That's the same as Mom's and Ayaka Onee-chan's jellyfish." Both of them quickly tip-toed toward Yuri.
"You both are so cute! What are your names?" Yuri gently pokes their cheeks.
"Onee-san, I am Kanna and Onii-chan is Tatsuya." Kanna introduces her name.
"Onee-san is also very beautiful!" Tatsuya also compliments her.
"Aww!" Yuri smiles at Tatsuya's innocent compliment.
"Little Tatsuya is such a smooth talker." Yuri chuckles and ruffles their hair.
She nods at Izuna and Akari and leads the kids inside the resort.
"Kanna, Tatsuya! Follow your Yuri Onee-chan! She will take you both to the amusement park. Dad will also join you both after a few minutes."
"Okay!" Kanna and Tatsuya obediently nod their head and follow Yuri.
