"Captain! Hokage-sama secretly tasked me to protect the Fire Daimyo. What about you, I thought you were out on another mission?"
Kakashi question Izuna.
"I had another mission, but the seal I placed on Itachi activated, so I had to teleport to him to protect him," Izuna reply to Itachi.
Waah… Awah…
Their attention is drawn by the wailing of Shinko. Shinko hugged Tenma's body and wail loudly.
Izuna immediately uses Medical Ninjutsu on Tenma to heal him. Tenma's wounds close, but his heartbeat has stopped.
Izuna coats his hand in lightning Chakra and defibrillate Tenma. The lightning chakra jerks Tenma's body, but he stays still.
Izuna defibrillate him again, Tenma's body jerks again. After defibrillating for a while, a faint heartbeat starts in Tenma's body.
Tenma slowly opens his eyes and coughs up blood. He looks around and spots others. Shinko supports him. He slowly stands up and feels the absence of his right hand.
"It is too late to heal your arm. The nerves near your arm stump have died already. I have already healed your injuries. Visit Konoha's hospital for further checkup." Izuna remind Tenma.
"Also, your career as a shinobi is over with that arm."
"No! My clan! My father! How will I secure them if I can't continue as a Ninja?" Tenma sobs.
"Face the reality of the situation. It is thanks to the expertise of Captain, you could preserve your life, or else you would have died here. I am sure you will find a solution to your problem. For now, cherish your new life and find a new meaning to it." Kakashi advises Tenma.
'Life! Some people live for others. Some people live for their clan. What am I living for?' Itachi contemplates.
The figure of Sasuke's smile flashes in Itachi's mind.
'I am not sure, but I want to protect that smile of Sasuke.' Itachi clenches his fist in a new resolve.
"All right, everyone! Grab hold of me. I will teleport all of you to Konoha." Izuna claps his hand to get their attention.
Swoosh… Swoosh…
All of them teleport to the gates of Konoha. Shinko and Itachi carry Tenma to the hospital. Kakashi and Izuna walk towards Hokage's Office.
Kakashi reports to Hiruzen and walks out of the Office. Izuna stay behind to report to Hiruzen.
"Hum… you can report now."
"Hokage-sama! I successfully infiltrated Amegakure to gather the intel. There is a civil war ongoing in Ame. Hanzo of the Salamander and the Leader of Akatsuki Pain are engaged in a power struggle.
Pain the leader of Akatsuki possess the fabled Rinnegan Dojutsu. He is very powerful and we should avoid such a foe. He holds enough power to destroy the leaf Village in seconds. I fought with him, but I have to teleport out from Amegakure amid our fight.
I could not meet or contact Hanzo. So, Hanzo's status is unknown. Hanzo is known for his cautious nature, so I am not sure of his status. But if I have to guess then, Pain will be able to deal with Hanzo." Izuna reports to Hiruzen.
"What? The leader of Akatsuki possesses the Rinnegan. That is grave news for Five Great Nation. If he possesses those eyes, then he holds enough power to rule over the world. That's a serious matter. We must not provoke Ame unnecessarily for a while." Hiruzen contemplates.
"….Hokage-sama, Akatsuki is recruiting many S-Rank criminals or missing-nins. I didn't spot Orochimaru with them, but I am sure he will join them in the future." Izuna takes out a scroll from his pocket and presents it to Hiruzen.
"This is the intel on abilities of the Leader of Akatsuki, Pain. I have noted down all of his powers and capabilities. Hokage-sama, I suggest not to send any more spies in Amegakure. Pain considers himself a God, and he possesses such power. His motto is world peace, but I doubt it to be true.
I am unsure of their aim. But I would suggest monitoring Akatsuki." Izuna warns Hiruzen.
"Very well! I will keep that in mind. I approve your request for retirement. Before you retire from Anbu, I would like to know the name of a suitable candidate for the Captain's position of Team Ro. You know about your team much better than me, so I leave this choice to you."
"Then I will recommend Vice-Captain Kakashi Hatake for this position. He has enough experience and strength to lead the Team Ro.
Hokage-sama! I will leave the village for a while. I want to wander around the world and satiate my curiosity." Izuna presents his opinion.
"It will truly be unfortunate for Anbu to lose a member like you. Very well, I will accept your request. I will send you on a long-term mission outside Konoha." Hiruzen takes out a scroll from his drawer and writes something on it.
He gives the scroll to Izuna and continues,
"From onwards, Izuna Uchiha, I relieve you from your duties as Anbu Captain. I will assign you a long-term S-rank mission to gather information about Akatsuki. You can use any means available to you.
You should contact Jiraiya, His information network is widespread across many Nations. Dismiss."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!" Izuna stands up and disappears from the spot. His figure shatters in countless fragments of light.
'That's a wonderful trick.'
Hiruzen stares at the fragments with wide-eyes.
'It's time for some peeking….Uhun! I mean some research.'
Hiruzen takes out his crystal ball from the drawer and starts his research.
-------------
'There is something which I need to take care of before I leave the village. I will take care of them in these few days.'
Izuna walks up to Senju compounds while lost in his thoughts. He enters inside the compound.
Shizune walks out of the house and greets him.
"It has been a while, Izuna-kun. Tsunade-sama is in leaf Hospital. If you want to meet with her, then you have to visit her office."
"Yes, it has been a while. I am here to meet with Naruto. I want to spend some time together with him. Where is he?"
"Nii-san! Nii-san! I am here, Nii-san. Dattebyo!" Naruto runs out of the house.
Naruto wore a white T-shirt with an Uzumaki symbol on his back. His yellow hairs are as messy as ever. Izuna ruffles his hair,
"Naruto, come big brother will take you on an outing. Where do you want to go?"
"Ramen! I want to eat Ramen, big brother Izuna. Take me to Ichiraku Ramen. I want to eat their ramen." Naruto jumps in excitement.
"Ok! Ok! Calm down. We will go together with Sasuke. Let us fetch him."
"No, I don't want to go with him. Dattebyo!" Naruto puffs his cheeks.
"Come on! Naruto. He is like your big brother. Why you don't want to go with him?"
"But! But Nii-san. He gets all the attention, and others ignore me and even avoid me. That's not cool at all. Also, Sasuke is very strong. I also want to grow strong. Big brother, teach me some cool jutsu. I also want to become a very cool Ninja and throw some powerful jutsu at my enemies." Naruto complains.
"Ok! Ok! I will teach you some jutsu later. For now, let us eat some ramen."
"Yay! Ramen. Let us eat ramen. I will eat lots of ramens. I love ramen. Dattebyo!" Naruto cheers upon the mention of Ramen.
Both of us walk towards Uchiha compounds. We pick up Sasuke from his house and continue to roam around the market.
I buy lots of things for Naruto and Sasuke.
"Naruto, let us buy new clothes for you. After buying clothes we will eat some ramen."
Izuna drags a drooling Naruto towards a cloth shop.
"Sasuke! You also pick something you like. I will buy it for you."
Sasuke cheers up and looks towards the weapon shop with sparkling eyes.
I select various clothes for Naruto. He tries them all but picks up Orange colored clothes.
'He still likes Orange color. Some things will never change.'
"Nii-san… Nii-san… " Sasuke tugs my clothes and points towards the weapon shop.
"I want to buy a blade, nii-san. Both you and Shisui nii-san looks way too cool with the tanto. I also want to swing around a tanto and fight my enemies. Nii-san! Can you buy me one, please!" Sasuke makes puppy eyes at Izuna.
"Ok! Ok! I will buy the tanto. You can ask Shisui to train you in Kenjutsu. Once you master all of his moves, I will train you further."
"Yay! You are the best nii-san." Sasuke jumps happily.
-----------
Inside the leaf hospital,
Achoo...
Itachi sneezes and looks around.
'Somehow, I feel like someone is stealing Sasuke away from me. I won't allow such a thing. I will buy a gift for Sasuke later.'

----------------------------
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.
