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.
