Mito said to Tokara :" If I am being honest with you, you are the weak link in the team, you are rash, you lack some chakra control, but that doesn't mean that you are weak, you are fast and good at avoiding things from hitting you. You need to train some chakra control, then you need to get better at teamwork so that your teammate don't need to protect you. With battle experience you will become less rash and more patient. "
Then she came to Ibiki and said:" While it is good thing to be always on guard, you need to get faster so you can react on time. You should learn some ninjustu because you lack something in your fighting style. Also you should be the most supportive person in team, you should support both of your teammates so that they don't see you as a cold person and stop believing in you. "
And finally the hardest one Hayate :" I highly respect you, in fact I am jealous of your skills with sword, your taijustu is a bit lacking but we will improve it with time, your evesion skills are above average. But your stamina lacks, I maybe know the reason for that."
Hayate was surprised not only by her compliments, but by also her noticing his stamina issues he had for few months now.
Mito then continued :" I would like you to go see a doctor, I think you are sick, but even if you are that sickness if we found her this early we can cure it." she really hoped so.
In the next three months Mito trained these 4 teams. Each team got significantly stronger. Mito had with teams over 50 sensions. She got along with almost everyone. She didn't get along with Obito and Asuma. She got along the best with Rin, Hayate, Genma and surprisingly Kakashi. Genma was always red when he would talk with her, well he was trying to flert with her. Mito as dense as she was didn't notice it.
Mito turned 11 last month while Genma was 12 all of the rest were too except Kakashi who was 9 and half years old. Thankfully things with Hayate were good. It turned he was indeed sick but that illness was easy to cure at early stages. But also hard to notice. She managed to read the second intermidiate level book on seals and now she had only one to read. She had trouble with understanding much of it and her progress was slow.
On last day of her three months period she was called into the Hokage's tower. She was bit nervous but she didn't show it.
She expected a lot person in Hokage 's office but she was surprised when she was alone with Hokage.
Hokage started the conversation :" How are you feeling Mito - Chan, today we will talk about some serious stuff."
Mito answered :"I am feeling fine Hokage-sama, but you look tired is something wrong."
Hokage answered :" No nothing is wrong I am just overworked."
Mito felt guilty :" Is it because I pointed out that person."
Hokage shake his head:"No you told us the truth, we have found some evidence but we still need more. But we won't talk about that here."
Mito asked :" Then you must have planned something about my position in village"
Hokage answered :"Well yes, but we aren't sure if you will accept it."
Mito looked questionly at him and said :"Do I have a choice in this matter."
Hokage answered :"Actually yes you do, we wanted to ask you which ninja level would you be"
Mito thought for a minute and then answered :" it would be best if I was genin. I would be under your direct control and it wouldn't be suspicious to people that newcomer is ranked high in society. But I wish to have some privileges."
Hokage seemed to consider that and asked :"Which privileges do you want."
Mito answered :" I want to choose which missions outside of Konoha I will take."
Hokage asked :" you know that genin are supposed to be on a team."
Mito looked at Hokage :" Yes I know, nut I have heard that one of your students is teaching only one person, if you could do that for him, you can just say that you were teaching me as your student. Of you do that I will help you with paperwork. "
Hokage knew he couldn't refuse that :" Very well then, if I may ask did you think about entering chunin exams which are starting next week. "
Mito answered :" No, while my identity will be reviled I want to hide my abilities.. "
Hokage wondered if she was hiding knowing that Danzo sees every jinchuriki as a weapon.
Mito asked Hokage :" How do you plan on revealing my identity. And how much will you tell them. "
Hokage answered :" we will be speaking from upstairs. We'll we call it roof of Hokage tower. We announce every important thing such as war and other things there. You will be staying besides me and I will only tell that you were found and identified as Uzumaki princess on one of our mission. You were brought back by that team and you healed in hospital and that you were clean. You didn't have any contact with enemy. We won't say anything about you being jinchuriki. "
Mito was happy but still asked:" You are willing to lie to your people for me. "
Mito asked :" will you say that I was under your wing and you managed to train me. "
Hokage answered :" if you insist on it then yes. "
Mito asked Hokage :" I think you forgot something so I will remind you. I promised to teach me two new ninjustu. Did you find any good ones. "
Hokage answered :" Yes we found something that may be useful to you and we will teach you one extra for your good work." Hokage gave away three scrolls two with earth simbol and one with water simbol.
Mito then gratefully accepted them and asked if she could read them now.
Hokage nodded his head.
One of the jutsu was Earth Style Shadow Clone. The second was Earth Style: Stone Column Spears. And third was Water Clone Jutsu. Mito was overjoyed she didn't expect to get two Clone jutsu. She expressed her gratitude again with bow and smiling brightly. Hokage didn't see that smile for a three months at first he thought that was illusion but now he know this girl is so pure that she looks like an angel when she smiles.
