Did find some informations about possible genin who could participate in chunin exam. She wasn't surprised that she could only recognize the names of her students. She after all didn't really know much of person in this time. The information on the Iwa battlefield were more interesting they as far as she know weren't as detailed as those she read in manga, but it mattered to her it gave her some insight on how long is left before Kannabi bridge mission.
Mito was trying her best to act polite every time Danzo would come in Hokage's office. It seemed like he would come on Saturday just to see her few times. Hokage and him would spoke some words but to Mito those words weren't that important that Danzo had to come here every 4 to 5 hours.
Hokage suspected that Danzo was after Mito, Hokage was setting the trap around Danzo, so he thought that it would be faster if Mito was bait. So he asked :"Mito-Chan, Do you wish to get rid of Danzo quickly."
Mito responded:" As quickly as possible. Danzo is too dangerous."
Hokage asked :" Then how about you help us."
Mito eyes buldged:" You want to use me as a bait, right. I can do it if you make sure nothing happens to me. "
Hokage was glad they were on same page and same side. He only needs to worry about Orochimaru, who looks like he gets want Hokage is doing but isn't supporting neither of them. Maybe Hokage should introduce Orochimaru to Mito. He may find her more interesting. But how to do that.
Mito as usual followed her schedule but this time she wasn't spyed by Asuma no she was spyed by Kushina who was obviously pissed at her for not seeing her over a week. While Mito knew that she had all rights to be angry at her she decided to be little kid and get most of Kushina spying on her.
Mito said:"Kushina - San, your chakra control really sucks, I could feel you from miles away."
Kushina creepy smiled:" is that how you avoided me for a week."
Mito answered :"Not really I was here for whole week."
Kushina was pissed :"You are lying, I was here yesterday, after asking Asuma if he knew where you trained."
Mito answered :" and I told him not to talk about me, but who cares. I am helping Hokage - sama with his paperwork on Saturdays, so that's why I wasn't here."
Kushina was even more pissed she wanted to make it clear that Mito was wrong for not meeting her only family in Konoha :" That doesn't mean that you can just ignore me for a week. "
Mito didn't look offended and said :" I was training, and I didn't forget about you, I just like you have a life."
Kushina said:"You are coming for dinner tonight."
Mito :" I must refuse."
Kushina was confused :"What, why."
Mito answered :" I don't feel like it."
Kushina exploded at that moment she wanted to beat this girl. Her hair was rising a looked like nine tails. Mito responded by rising her hair in three tails.
Mito spoke first :" How about a bet, if you knock me down in 10 hits and I don't manage to land five hits, I will eat with you every 4 days. But if I win then I don't need to eat with you."
Kushina was startled by this proposal. But she couldn't agree with it :" 3"
Mito asked :"What"
Kushina smiled and answered :" every 3 days, no actually 3 times a week."
Mito answered :"fine."
Kushina jumped down and stretched. While Mito just stared at her watching how flexible Kushina was, and looking for any advantage. Kushina was soon ready but they couldn't start just yet. It looked like Minato found her too. So Mito lifted her hand in signal to stop Kushina for saying anything.
Mito said :" Minato - San could you jump down here." and there he was jumping down. But before he could say anything. Mito asked him :" Could you do us a favor, and be a judge in this little bet."
Minato was alarmed he knew Kushina was up to no good when she went towards Sarutobi clan training grounds. He didn't expect her to be with Mito though. He thought that she would do a prank but this may be worse.
Minato asked:" What do I need to do. "
Mito answered :"it will easy, you will announce Victor, you see if Kushina - San manages to knock me down with 10 hits she is winner and if I manage to hit her five times I win."
Minato asked :"Is everything allowed."
Both said at the same time with heat :"Yes"
Minato nodded his head this will be problem for sure.
Minato announced the start. Both of Uzumaki on the field raised their hair trying to intimidate opponent. They managed to intimidate Minato. Kushina was more frustrated and more eager to fight a teach Mito a lecture so she moved first. Minato thought that was mistake on her part and it was. Mito managed to land a hit before avoiding her attack completely. Kushina realized this isn't going to work so she retreated to her previous position. She knew that she was now in disadvantage so she had to knock Mito as soon as possible it would be best if she knocked her out in first hit.
Mito knew what was going on Kushina mind so she decided to play long distance fight. She used her Earth Style: Rising Rock Jutsu. And made herself almost unapproachable, she gave Kushina a path but both of them knew that was a trap. Kushina didn't have a choice she needed to fight long distance too, but she was close combat specialist. She had only one jutsu that worked from distance, her genkai kenkai, chakra chains they did drain her a lot but she didn't have any choice.
As soon as Mito saw chakra chains appearing from Kushina, she panicked she knew those things costed a lot of chakra so she needed to block most of them, thankfully she had all the rocks in the air so she only asked Isobu to help her of need saying that this will be a good test.
8 chakra chain shoot towards Mito. Mito launched rocks the best she could while concentrating on gathering Isobu chakra.
She managed to block 5 of chakra chains with the rocks and they disappeared. Then she shocked both Kushina and Minato her hands were covered with red chakra. Biju chakra. She blocked two of remaining chakra chains but couldn't block the third because unexpectedly a fourth chain shot from beneath her and she got two scratches. She healed quickly and destroyed rest of chakra chains.
Both Minato and Kushina were surprised did Mito just use biju chakra to defend herself. But Kushina regained her fight sense and dodged water bullet which was shot from far away. She had to dodge a lot she didn't have any chance to attack. When it seemed like Mito stopped using this tactic she rushed forward and saw that Mito again used Earth Style: Rising Rock Jutsu. Kushina though if Mito goal was to tire out her. If it was then she wouldn't do it.
