Mito laid down on her bed she wanted to rest her body she went into meditation mode and met Sage as usual he didn't bring any concrete information. But still he was useful. She asked Sage what did he think about politics in Konoha. He said he didn't like it, but they needed to be dealt with after Danzo. Mito knew now how close they were on his tail. After Mito said that Orochimaru was speaking with him Hokage doubled his efforts. Fearing to lose another student. Tsunade was long gone from village. Jiraya was here and there but almost never in village.
After talking to Sage she trained with Isobu. They training slowly progressed but they knew what they were doing. They knew Mito had to learn first to control all of the Isobu moves and then try to make their partnership. They were long away from that after all she needs to be stronger to use more of his chakra. She will be minimaly 15 when she reaches all 3 of his tails.
Soon it was time for the dinner she followed the streets towards the address she asked few times for directions, the civilians were happy to help her. She putted some soft smiles on her face. She wore the simple dress she bought with Rin on her first day.
Mito could hear voices coming through the doors and she could feel 6 chakra signals. She did expect 5 but Genma was surprise. She politely knocked on the doors. And she heard rustle and she swore someone was in panic. What did they expect her to be late. Minato opened the doors smoothly and smiling brightly. He blocked the scene behind him with his body. He spoke:" Welcome Mito-San, I hope you didn't have any difficulty trying to find the house." he moved out the way showing her to come in. Whatever the scene behind was it was gone. Mito probably didn't want to know. She answered to Minato concern :" I had to ask for directions several times. Why does Konoha have so many similar streets. "
Minato laughed. Mito came inside and Minato put his arms on her shoulder leading her towards a kitchen. Where everyone was sitting. She wondered if they invited Genma so she wouldn't feel out of place.
She grated them all and was sitted between Kakashi and Genma. Kushina definitely did that.
Mito was curious and whisper to Genma when all of the others except Kakashi were helping to bring dinner. :" I must say I didn't expect you to be here. How did Kushina - San manage to involve you."
Genma panicked but he was glad she spoke to him :" I was with Rin when she came to invite her to dinner she invited me to but I didn't want to come until she said you would come too. Does it bother you. "
Mito smiled:" No not at all, you see I expect them to know how to behave and interact in between themselves, I am happy that I can be out the loop with somebody. "
Kakashi looked at them weirdly trying to figure about what they were talking or whispering.
Soon everyone was sitted and everyone ate. Kushina was happy to see everyone dig in. She Mada a huge pot of Ramen. And when I say huge then I mean like almost 20 liters of ramen. Minato wonder if she went overboard. But he also knew Kushina alone could eat 7 liters. Team 7 ate so fast that it looked like both Mito and Genma were royals slowly enjoying their meal. While Kushina like to see her so elegant. She couldn't help but notice that if this continued Genma would have more points by the end of today's dinner. Kakashi probably felt that too since he slowed down his eating. Quickly grabbing attention from rest of team 7. They looked at him questionably. Kushina then realized that team 7 was definitely dense towards Kakashi feelings, probably because they didn't see him show any so far, he did become better but he was still far from normal child. And Mito was too dense to notice it.
Surprisingly it turned out that Mito didn't have as big of apettit as Kushina expected. She ate almost the same amount of ramen as everyone besides Kushina. Mito did eat one bowl more than rest but Kushina wasn't satisfied.
Kushina asked :"Are you full Mito - Chan, you know you should eat more."
Mito answered confused :"ah i was full 3 bowls ago actually in only I the last three because I thought they were compiting against each other." she pointed to whole team 7.
Genma said :" You thought so too. I mean I don't get why you would do that, because you will have problems with digestion. "
Team 7 was shooked nobody told them that before. It isn't like they had any visitors before.
Mito added to Genma analysis :" doesn't it taste better when you save it longer in mouth. "
Kushina didn't know how to react both Genma and Mito were right, but she wanted to defend team 7.
Thankfully Rin read situation and whispered to Kushina :"The gifts, i think it is time."
Kushina smiled :"Well it seems everyone is done. I will need some help in kitchen. Mito - Chan do you mind."
Mito didn't mind:"No."
Mito and Kushina walked towards kitchen Rin helped bring them some bowls. Kushina washed the dishes while Mito dryed them. Others went to Minato room and took their gifts.
Mito didn't expect the gifts she almost refused them :"I don't know if I deserve them."
Kushina spoke first she saw that Genma was ready to say something while Kakashi was confused by her words. :"This gifts are for joining shinobi ranks as official Konoha shinobi." Mito then carefully looked at each gift the first one was Rin's she commented :"thanks Rin I needed new ones."
Then it was Genma he pulled out the sword and Mito eyes litted up. She asked many questions about the sword and at the end she thanked him too:"Thank you, honestly I didn't think about buying one of these but I am glad you bought it for me."
Team 7 did not know what to do with atmosphere around those two. Kakashi was the one who interrupted it by showing his gift. Mito looked confused at him the book looked ordinary until she read the title she scream :" Kakashi what the hell, this one cost almost 3000 Ryo. You didn't need to spend so much money on the gift."
Kushina almost facepalmed. She didn't think Kakashi would try to impress Mito this way.
Kakashi asked with pupy eyes:"You don't like it."
But it didn't work on Mito :" I didn't say I didn't like it, it is just to expensive. I will read it."
Kushina was next with 10 different outfits saying those were from Minato and her. Mito thanked them both:"thank you very much, but you didn't need to buy so much of outfits I am usually in my training clothes."
Obito moved next:"I know it isn't much but here."
Mito at first saw plain white t-shirt but she soon saw an Uzumaki crest in the middle. She almost cried at the simbol. :"thank you for buying it for me I will wear it every day."
Kushina was surprised at her reaction but was interrupted by Minato :"You know there is something else you are going to wear every day." Minato picked Konoha headband from his pocket and gave it to Mito saying:" This one is from Hokage himself."
Mito stared at for few seconds before she putted it around her right biceps.
