A long Journey begins

"This is my oldest son and the future King of The Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, Koenma. " says Enma with a smile while pointing his hand at the little monkey who has potato growing out of his head that even the spiked hair can't hide.

"Are you the one who summoned me? " asks Koenma with arrogance pointing at Kazuna it looks like he has forgotten about the earlier humiliation already.

"Yeah, you displeased about it short stuff. " asks Kazuna in irritation when he is getting pointed at by a monkey.

"Who are you calling short you fool. " asks Koenma in anger when he is getting called short by Kazuna even if I am the shortest among my sibling's no one dares to call me that.

"I am calling you SHORT you short little banana. "says Kazuna with a sarcastic smile pointing at Koenma.

"Why you, take it back. " asks Koenma with frustration getting called names by Kazuna.

"I won't what are you going to do about it, shorty? " asks Kazuna with a mocking smile on his face before he starts teasing Koenma and an argument broke down between them.

"It's almost like old times. " says Hiruzen with a smile.

"It's good that they are getting along pretty well. " says Enma with a satisfied smile on his face.

After the Summoning Sign is signed and the argument is over Enma left with a scroll of Banana with his son while Kazuna follows Hiruzen for lunch.

-------------------------------------

A few days later.

Hokage Tower…

"Since the 12 guardians, Shinobies has been disbanded, The Fire Daimyo has asked for immediate backup guard from me. " looking at Kazuna, Hana and Izumi explains Hiruzen with a serious face.

"How can the 12 Guardian Shinobi get disbanded? " asks Izumi in surprise.

"If they are not guarding the Daimyo then who is responsible for the production of the Daimyo as of now? " asks Hana with a serious face.

"Wasn't your younger Son Sarutobi Asuma also part of the 12 Guardian Shinobi of the Daimyo? " asks Kazuna with a serious face.

"Yeah he was and something major had taken place in the past week causing the 12 Guardians to be in a dispute before it is disbanded. " explains Hiruzen with a sigh.

After learning about the details of the mission it is clear it's not a mission that can be completed in a short time, even if the pay is very generous but the risk is unknown which makes it S-Rank already since it's the Diamyo's house while they need to stay and protect the Daimyo till proper protection or they get their shift changed in 6 months.

Learning all these factors neither of them wanted to take the mission since Kazuna wanted to spend more time with his family and friends, while Hana needs to take care of her little brother and Izumi wants to take a short break to train in between missions since she is not much need of money, however, the village is shorthand and the safety of the Daimyo is not something they can neglect, so they aren't given any choice but to accept it and asked to leave before sunset because of the severity of the issue.

-----------------------------------

"After this mission, I am not taking any mission outside the village for a whole month. "says Kazuna with a serious face even if the pay is great staying away from his family makes him a little sad as well.

"I hope Kiba doesn't cause too much trouble for mother. " says Hana with worry.

"I have a bad feeling this time when I was leaving the village and said goodbye to Itachi-kun. " says Izumi with a sad face.

"Come on it's not even an hour we left the village and you already started missing your Itachi-kun. " says Hana with a teasing smile.

"No, it's not what you think Hana," says Izumi with a red face.

"If you have time to gossip we should speed up or it will be too late for us to regret if anything happens because of our late arrival. " feeling out of place between the girls says Kazuna with a serious face why do I have to be the only male in the team when all team has two men and one girl, damn this team is unfair.

-----------------------------------

Months later.

A few k.m away in the sea from the Land of Rice...

Because of the Spring festival as well as the 11th birthday of The Land of Snow Daimyo's daughter, Lady Kaguya is visiting the Land of snow since she regards the Kazahana Koyuki as her older sister.

"Kaguya-sama please don't get too close to the edge of the ship. " a guardian Samurai quickly asks when he saw Kaguya walking near the edge of the ship.

"Don't worry if something bad happens Kazuna will help me, uncle Satoshi. " says Kaguya with a smile with confidence.

"I know you trust his ability but it's never too much to be careful My Lady. " says Satoshi with a serious face 

"Uncle, Look look something is floating in the middle of the ocean. " says Kaguya in excitement when huge ice appeared in the middle of the ocean from nowhere.

"What is an ice block of this size doing this far from the Land of Snow. " asks Satoshi with a serious face.

"That Ice isn't normal everyone prepare yourself. "jumping down from the ship mast and landing behind Kaguya says Kazuna with a serious tone.

"We already know that when an Ice is floating one and half a day away from the Land of Snow. " says Satoshi who has already taken his sword out of its cover and looking at the Ice block with a battle-ready face.

"Kazuna- Kun are we going to be attacked? " asks Kaguya with worry before she moved closer to Kazuna for protection but the happiness makes Kazuna wonder if she is really afraid or just pretending.

"Don't worry Kaguya-Sama as long as I am here no one is going to harm you. " says Kazuna with a serious face no matter what it's his responsibility to protect her.

"I believe.... "

"Ice Style: Ice Whale Jutsu. "
