Kushina from little she heard about this mysterious person could conclude 2 things, that person was obviously female and that she would need to talk with Obito when they are alone. Minato came with lunches to the training grounds, but was surprised to see Kushina there and redness around Obito's mouth. Minato said :"here is lunch, I would buy you some too Kushina if I knew you would come here."
But Kushina ignored him completely. But didn't expect Minato to just move on, usually he would whine to get her attention, he asked Kakashi and Rin what did Obito manage to spill out. They said gender. He then turned his attention twords Obito :" No wonder she criticised you the most, but she said that is a good thing because you can improve the most."
Then he turned his attention to Kushina :"I Heard you talked with Hokage." Kushina wondered what was wrong, why did he look so hurt so she answered :"He did tell me similar story. So you guys were just genuine pigs."
Obito this time didn't stop :" You had to go to the Hokage to learn that, but I thought you believed Sensei." that hited the nerve. She felt sorry. She inside fought inside herself. While she was mad with him, about not telling some major information, now it seems that she didn't believe a word he said to her, and she sees that it hurts him. She wanted to hug him, to kiss him to prove she believed to him.
So she said :"Minato you and I need to talk, privately." when they were in the nearby forest, Kushina said :"I am sorry that I didn't believe you, I wanted to know everything. I geuss I always knew what was going on in your life and I just felt pushed out suddenly." Minato still looked hurt :"I know you are sorry, but I thought you would leave it alone until I can tell you. Because as you know secrets cannot stay secrets forever." Kushina rushed towards him hugging him desperatly saying:"I am sorry, I did wrong."
Minato listed up and said:"I will forgive you if you aren't mad at me anymore." he told her with his cute face. She wanted to kiss him so badly right there and then, but team 7 was watching them. Kushina was mad at them :" Do you kids not understand word privately."
Rin answered :" we are sorry Kushina - San, but you are unpredictable, we thought you were going to interrogate him for information. We must say if anybody is to learn that person identity there would be several consequences for people who told, right Sensei."
Kushina said :" You guys don't believe in me, I wouldn't never do that. "
Kakashi then said :" I don't know if thought that we didn't hear you say, I will need to talk to Obito alone, and then started laughing. "
Kushina was embarrassed :" I said that out loud."
Rin said :" yes you did. "
Kushina runned home.
Soon after team 7 was eating and doing last part of training. They did some d-rank mission and went home. Tired.
Midnight Mito waked up and did her routine, she went to training grounds. She trained her chakra control. Taijustu and ninjustu. She could feel that she was improving, but not as fast as she liked it to be. But she had plenty of time and it wasn't like she was weak. She was strong as any higher chunin. But she wanted to be strong as jonin. Well if she was in any kind of danger she could count on help from Isobu.
Around 4.am Rin had come. Mito greeted her :"You really came, I am glad. If you stretch now I will be able to have a spar with you in half hour."
Rin answered :"Yes that sounds good." she seemed sleepy, but Mito didn't comment. After all in her last life she got used staying late and not sleeping because she had to study so hard. Ironically she died before knowing the results.
When they spared Mito remember every mistake Rin had made. So when they were finished she gave Rin tons of pieces of advice. Such as "never close your eyes when you are about to be hitted. Because when your opponent lands a hit he is most defenseless, you have to counterattack when he still feels like he is winning."
Around 5.am Minato had came to the training grounds. He wasn't surprised for seeing those two, but he was surprised how close they seemed. They were laying on the ground under one of trees. Mito was mostly talking and Rin would here and there nood her head in understanding. He thought Mito was happy by her smile, but once he had seen her eyes they were said, longing for someone. He wonder for who.
Mito stood up around 5:30 and said to the Minato and Rin :"I am sorry, but I have meeting with Hokage - sama at 6.am. So I have to go. I hope your training today is progressive."
Rin said :" Good luck."
The look of Mito eyes was so sad :"Thank you." she seemed to thinking about somebody else. Minato asked :"Did she mention somebody today she mises."
Rin answered :"No, why."
Minato answered :"While she was happy, her eyes were sad, she seemed to think about them today."
Kakashi then said:"I don't think she thought about somebody, she was reminded of somebody."
Both Rin and Minato were surprised, they didn't expect him to be here.
Kakashi continued :" I had asked her if she remembered somebody, she said that Rin's kindness was reminding her of her best friend. " he concluded :" We really need to train our sensory skills."
Minato and Rin both agreed :"Yes, you surprised us."
Mito and Anbu after they stopped to answer the question Kakashi asked, continued straight towards Hokage tower. When they came in Hokage wasn't there yet, so Mito decided to sit on sofa. Thinking about what was going to be said today, she after all didn't have a clue, maybe they needed a help to find that person or maybe something else.
