Hokage and Mito soon went back to the office and the crowd slowly went to their homes. Only shinobi did stay on the streets. Kushina being one of them. She didn't know should she talk to her cousin or her boyfriend first. Team 7 obviously knew about her cousin. She stood there for few seconds before saying:" I want you all present on dinner tonight. We will discuss this then."
Team 7 got the chills even though they didn't do anything wrong. Kushina walked towards Hokage tower. The guards didn't stop her, which meant she was expected. As soon as she walked in Hokage's tower, Hokage's secretary was waiting for her and guided her to the room next to Hokage's office. Kushina entered it and immediately saw Hokage and her cousin drinking tea.
Kushina bowed:" Hokage - sama, you seem to know why I am here. Do you also know how I feel about this."
Hokage answered :" I do, but I still don't regret it."
Kushina asked Mito next :" Did you know I was here and still didn't want to meet me."
Mito smiled :" I wasn't really told that there was an Uzumaki inside the Village. But I knew you were here because I was told what is our mission in Konoha."
Kushina was surprised this girl was calmly answering her questions. Not a trait of Uzumaki.
Mito continued :" There wasn't any need for Hokage to tell me about your existence, I could feel your chakra signal from miles away. That also confirms that you are indeed carrying on this important mission." Don't you think that if I was seen around you that I would look suspicious. So even if I wanted to meet you. I couldn't. "
Kushina never thought that far. After all like most Uzumaki she was ruled by emotions. This girl however wasn't she wanted to learn why, was she a full Uzumaki, while she didn't know previous princess of Uzumaki clan she knew they weren't allowed to marry outside the clan, well they usually would fall in love with someone inside the clan anyway.
Kushina asked :" Are you a illegal child of Uzumaki clan."
Mito answered without looking at Kushina :" No my father too was from Uzumaki clan, but I don't know their names was too little then and the person who looked after me didn't ever tell me. Are you asking because of my personality. I was very loud and rash when I was a kid but my parents master taught me how to control my emotions, how to think. "
Kushina was surprised, was that training that affecting, did this girl even know emotions. She was worried. Kushina asked :" You are sensor is that how you surrived. "
Mito answered :" Among other things it did help me. "
Kushina wanted to learn everything about Mito so she asked :" Do you know Team 7."
Mito answered :" Yes they are the ones who had transported me here."
Kushina realized this person was the reason they went straight for hospital 3 months ago. She asked :"Were you injured then at that time."
Mito sipped her teas slowly and answered :" I only had chakra exhaustion, without any injuries."
Kushina was furious this girl didn't realize how dangerous it was to have a chakra exhaustion, it was dangerous because it meant she was fighting someone stronger than her. She remembered then Rin's excuses. Rin did say they saw someone getting killed. Kushina was pissed :" Tell me did you already had your first kill."
Mito answered :" I guess I did."
Kushina was alarmed at her answer :" I geuss so. How old are you. You obviously fought stronger shinobi and killed him. And you still aren't scared of life."
Mito answered :" Kushina - San, can you please calm down. I have only one purpose in this life. I had to fight that person because he would make me unable to live for that purpose. "
Kushina was pissed this child wanted her to calm down, this child didn't use her emotions while she talked to her. Kushina asked :" Then tell me what is your purpose. "
Mito smiled bitterly :" Revenge. "
Kushina didn't like that at all she could see the darkness inside of Mito, but she could see that there was something else. She had to know what was that. :"To whom."
Mito answered :" Kiri, iwa and Kumo. They took everything from me before I could experience anything."
Kushina saw that Mito wasn't bluffing. She was serious. Kushina asked :"How do you think you will manage to do that. You are obviously week."
It was then that she heard angelic laugh coming from the girl followed by :"I already took revenge upon Kiri, I will just continue to torture them, I have my plans for both Kumo and Iwa too."
Kushina was alarmed at how Hokage didn't react at those words :"Hokage - sama, you knew about this and didn't persuaded her to not do it. Revenge isn't worth of life. What did you do to Kiri."
Mito looked at Kushina her eyes and face lit up :" I decided to become just like you, a jinchuriki."
Kushina was confused :"how did you managed that. They wouldn't put a biju in person they were sure where her loyalty laid."
Mito answered :"You are right, but I could just pretend to hate Konoha as much as I hated them. Konoha after all didn't help us. I waited paintently for more then half year to them to trust me. And finally when they made me jinchuriki I escaped. I had to kill Suikazan Fuguki to escape. Team 7 was in the way but I was simply to exhausted from the fight so they picked me up. "
Mito tooked out Samehada from one of the seals. It didn't react at first but it soon glowed with Mitos chakra.
Kushina was surprised did this girl kill such dangerous man. :" Why are you genin then. "
This time Hokage asnwerd so that Mito wouldn't make herself look like a bad guy again. She had speciality in that. :"Mito - San, was concerned that village wouldn't trust her if she was ranked higher this way she will be in village most of the time and would only go outside it when she will be needed."
Kushina asked :"Mito-san, i know you are hiding something from me, you aren't using your emotions when you are telling the truth but you are using them when you try to hide something. You hide the truth in darkness. Why. Why won't you tell me."
Kushina saw that Hokage was shocked. So he didn't see right through this one.
Mito answered :" You really are Uzumaki. You can feel my emotions without being a sensor. It seems I let my guard down. I am indeed hiding something but that I can't tell. I geuss I will tell you that I am not all about revenge. Revenge is a mean to my goal." Mito then stood up from a chair her tea was drinked and she pasted by Kushina slowly looking at her eyes. Kushina saw hope in those eyes. Did this girl know how to react to older people she acted not her age. Hokage and Kushina were left alone in the room.
