Genma and Rin came to the market and searched for anything that Mito could like. Rin knew that while Mito liked many stuff she would be happiest with something realeted to training. Rin and Genma were on shinobi side of market for long time. Rin bought some simple supplies for Mito like new set of kunai and shuriken. While Genma didn't want to have simple gift he wanted to express how she was important to him. They searched for hours but didn't find anything. Then Genma remembered that when Mito fought Hayate first time her sword broke and she didn't use one since.
Genma and Rin went to weaponry shop, this time looking for special kinds of swords. Genma wanted to give her something only he could think of. So he brought a sword in which you could put your chakra and Inhence it. He thought that was the best because Mito had two styles she used. It would definitely be handy.
On the other side Kakashi took Obito with him to buy a gift for Mito too. Well when we say took. Obito was standing in front of the store Kakashi wanted to come and buy gift so as Kakashi was supposed to do he invited Obito to join him. Obito apparently was bad at buying gifts and didn't know what to buy, but Kakashi had know since Rin said about buying gift yesterday. The shop they were in front was a bookstore, and a shinobi one at that. Obito obviously didn't know what Kakashi wanted to buy here. So he just looked around after asking Kakashi to help him buy a gift too.
Kakashi finally found what he was looking for a whole selection of books. They were sorted by the level. He didn't actually know which to buy. Well beginners was definitely of because she proved that she did know something. But his budget didn't allow him to buy a master level book. And that how Kakashi bought intermediate level fuinjustu book.
Obito understood why Kakashi bought that so he wanted Kakashi to help him even more. Kakashi and Obito spent a hour trying to find something fitting for Mito. Obito almost lost his hope but then he found t-shirt shop with engravings of all the clans from Konoha and her aliens. Obito at first didn't see any Uzumaki simbol. But Kakashi asked before he could :" I am sorry, but do you have any Uzumaki simbola. Our friend might need one."
The shop owner replied :" ah yes, they are on the way here. They are supposed to arrive in half an hour. You can pay it now and send me adress and I will deliver it to you."
Obito answered:" No I will wait for it. Kakashi you can go home, I don't want to trouble you anymore."
Kakashi nodded and Obito went to close by dango shop to eat waiting for t-shirts to arrive.
Soon Anko was next to him eating dango. Anko asked :" What are you doing here. "
Obito didn't speak much with her so he was surprised she talked to him:" I am waiting for some clothes to come. They will be my gift."
Anko asked again :" who is for and what is occasion."
Obito asnwerd :" Mito - San became a genin. "
Anko who didn't actually hear a lot of things which happened in Konoha in 3 months, because she was on and of missions and training with Orochimaru, only knew Mito as the girl which picked Rin's interest :" I thought she was already shinobi. "
Obito nodded his head:"She was, but now she is officially ranked as a genin. But still I don't get it why she is one."
Anko was confused :"is she that weak."
Obito shook his head:" No she is even stronger than Kakashi."
Anko was now even more confused, she was confused about her rank yes but she was confused how calmly Obito spoke about Kakashi. She needs to catch up with Kurenai when she finds her. Usually things didn't change this much in 3 months. Obito left when his gift was ready.
Kushina was actually too searching for a gift. She wanted Mito to feel a love of family so she planned to invite Mito to a dinner. She didn't know what to buy for gift, she did decide what to cook. Of course it was ramen which Uzumaki didn't like ramen. She unlike all the others went to civilian market and was looking for bunch of cute clothes. She found so many she bought every type of clothes because she didn't know which she perfered.
Mito day went fast she was meeting with all the clans heads of Konoha on clan meeting. She actually didn't put any resistance to this decision. Hokage led her from one clan head introduced her and to other clan head. She meet every clan head and spoke some simple words with them.
As Kushina was ready to head home she until she bumped with Rin and Genma. She was surprised with the gifts they choose. She knew that it would be rude if she only invited Rin for dinner so she asked them both. Genma was hesitant at first but when Kushina said that she will invite Mito too he agreed quickly. Kushina on her way towards home bumped with Kakashi and later with Obito she invited them both. She knew Minato was at the Hokage office so she bought so many clothes. She would say that they were from both of them. Only person who wasn't invited yet was Mito. Kushina didn't know where she was. So she decided to go home leave the things at her home and go to Hokage tower for information. She would ask Hokage if she needs just to learn that information. But that actually didn't need to happen. Because as soon as came to the Hokage tower. Mito walked out it. Mito looked like she was done with the day.
Kushina said :"Hello Mito--Chan I was just looking for you."
Mito turedly asked:" Do I want to know."
Kushina laughed :" I was going to invite you to dinner tonight."
Mito looked at her, she wanted to come, but she also didn't want to become to attached:"I can come, but only if you insist."
Kushina said:"of course I insist."
Mito asked :" when do you want me to come and where."
Kushina was prepared with adress she had it written on note. And said:" come at 7.pm."
Mito nodded her head moumbling:" I hope it would be more interesting than that pet talk with clans and council. Uh I hate council. Why do they even have any power at military village in middle of the war."
That did make Kushina wonder what their job actually was.
Soon Mito was gone from her sight. Kushina went home to prepare dinner she had 3 more hours to do it.
