So she had personally found a safe long termed A rank mission for Usagi. Originally he wanted her to go with him to the fire capital for the peace talk with the Tsuchikage. But he could always call back Minato or Jiraiya to accompany him.

Slow life of a shinobi
//3 days ago
"This is an A ranked escort and security mission. Even if you are an Elite jounin, you will have to take at least two more teammates with you Usagi chan." The third hokage said to Usagi while handing over the mission scroll to her.
"Give me Duy and someone else ! I need to leave before sensei appears. Wait a minute can you just give a headband to Shiro. Make him a temporary genin or something like that. Just do it quickly."
"Duy, got it. I can't make Shiro a genin since he is your pet. but there should be a guy named Kuro Sarutobi. You can pick him up from the chunin waiting room."
"Thank you ! Goodbye, see you in a month." Quickly saying thanks to the old hokage, Usagi bolted out of the room and created two Shadow clones to collect her teammates while she herself headed towards the village gate along with Shiro.
As expected, Duty reached the gate within 5 minutes of being called by her Shadow clone. The Kuro guy took 5 more minutes but considering that it was a month long mission the delay was understandable.
As soon as her teammates showed up in front of the village gate, Usagi quickly signed the documents and they went outside the village.
The month-long mission was actually quite simple. They had to go to the land of the sea to guard Daimyo during his visit to the land of lightning through the sea. The visit itself will last around a month. Usually this kind of mission would have been marked as a B ranked mission. But the safest sea route from the land of sea to the land of lightning will go through the waters and territories of the land of water. Among the five great Nations land of water might not be the poorest great Nation but it has the worst reputation because of the hidden mist village. On top of that due to the retreat and ceasefire of the hidden stone the third great shinobi war might have been delayed but it was not over yet. That's why due to the tension between The shinobi villages, the mission was marked as an A rank mission.
