Kushina knew she shouldn't use chakra chains anymore. She only could use fuinjutsu now. But she knew Mito wouldn't let her. Kushina had to throw paper bombs at rocks that were in the air. Mito smiled and said:" You are making your situation harder." and indeed it was harder now. All of the tiny blocks of rocks were still in air and there now were 3 times more of them.
Kushina had to do something, she jumped backwards and started running in the woods, while she run she made some gravity seals, Mito slowly walked so that her rocks could follow her. Kushina was finally done and puted the seal on the ground waiting to activate it when Mito was in range. Kushina waited for few seconds to make sure Mito was in range she hid seal with her foot so Mito wouldn't suspect anything.
Kushina activated it and all of the rocks had fell down, but Mito didn't. Mito said:" I must say I didn't expect you to write it so fast, but I have antigravity seals on my clothes."
Kushina was surprised :" Did you write them yourself"
Mito answered :"Yes, I did"
Kushina exclaimed :" But that is intermediate level of fuinjutsu, and you are only 11. How are you this good at that age."
Mito answered :" I don't know I didn't have anyone to compere with."
Kushina was saddened by those words that she almost didn't dodge water gun quick shot jutsu. She had to move quickly because Mito had thrown some kunai and shuriken in between the shots.
Kushina now had more of chance because she was now in close combat. Mito tried to make as much of distance as she could. That didn't last long. Kushina managed to three more hits before Mito managed to do Mud wall and block some of the heavy hits from Kushina. While Kushina tried to break the wall down. Mito gathered enough chakra for Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu. And just when Kushina broke the wall down water dragon shot through the gap and hit Kushina. So Kushina was thrown backwards and quite far at that. Minato counted the hits Kushina had made 5 and Mito had done 2.it didn't look good for Kushina. But it seemed like Mito had lost a lot chakra. Minato could hear her mumble :" I am on half of reserves, then I should use minimal of chakra from now."
This time Mito shot forwards and started taijutsu spar. Kushina wasn't ready for it she was trying to stand up but now she had to dodge Mito kicks. She unexpectedly was kick from the left when she clearly saw Mito hand coming from the right. Kushina knew she couldn't defend herself as good as she could attack. So she took initiative in attacking most of her attacks were blocked, but at least she could predict Mitos moves. In this exchange of hits. Mito managed to hit Kushina once more and Kushina managed to hit Mito three times. So result was 8 against 4. Kushina had attack agresivly and knock Mito. So she used her maximum of speed and attacked with no holding back. She hit once but Mito was still in game she made her final move this attack was so precise and fast that Mito didn't even react. Howere this Kushina was too focused on attack that she didn't notice where Mito was aiming with her hand.
Mito was knocked out, but Kushina was on the ground two, holding her stomach. In last seconds as Mito was passing out. Mitos fists hit her stomach with full force.
Minato waited for both Uzumakis to stood up. Kushina weazing from the ground :" She is uncouncious."
Minato checked it and Mito really was out. That only meant one thing. After few minutes Mito comeback finally expecting that she lost but Minato had announced a draw. He explained how she managed to hit Kushina as she was passing out.
Mito then said:" Well honestly I didn't see this coming, I thought I would lose quickly."
Kushina was surprised at those words:" Are you saying that you made this bet just to have dinner with me, how sweet."
Mito looked at her and said with no fealings :"I am sorry but no, that wasn't the reason, I just wanted to see how strong you are."
Kushina :" is that so but I want to have dinner with us, and we didn't decide what happens if it is a draw."
Mito wonder for few seconds :" fine. Once a week. Choose a day carefully. No Saturdays. "
Minato and Kushina smiled and thought, which day, which day, Minato said:"How about Monday."
Mito answered :"Fine with me."
Mito said goodbye to Kushina and Minato and continued her training she had left few katas and to stretch. Minato and Kushina went home. Kushina praised Mito all the way towards the home. While Minato only nodded his head. Minato was happy seeing both Uzumaki interact, he too was surprised how advanced Mito was in fuinjutsu, even for a Uzumaki. Uzumaki were usually at beginners level until age of 12, and genius in fuinjutsu would reach master level at the age of 16, but Mito was very close to that level already, maybe they could teach her some fuinjutsu stuff.
While Mito went to her apartment she was surprised by Genma who was just in front of her doors. He looked hesitant about knocking so she decided to slowly and sneakily approach him from behind and say in his ear whispering :" What are you doing here."
Genma got goosebumps all over his body, his face was as red as her hair he mumble so fast she didn't understand half of it :" I um,,, i wasn't going to knock, I mean I was but I couldn't, I didn't have courage, I am sorry," and then he exclaimed :" woah, Mito-can, how long were you here. Hahaha"
Mito titled her head and asked:"since when did you."
Genma panicked :" no way I would notice you if you were here for half a hour."
Mito answered :" I didn't say I was here since you came, I asked when you were here, I only came now few seconds ago. But I most ask did you need something. "
Genma panicked and said :" Well no, I mean yes, I wanted to ask you something. "
Mito then said :" do you want to come in and ask inside. "
Genma wonder for few seconds and nodded his head. They entered. Mito lead them into living room and said she would make some tea.
