Hokage read the reports he received from hawks. He was surprised by how quickly Mito firstly found Tsunade. Then when he received the next report he was troubled. Mito managed to convince Tsunade , literally beat some sense in Tsunade, and they would head out tomorrow back. Meanwhile Hokage didn't manage to do anything about situation here. Hokage was wondering if he was indeed getting to old for this. Mito said few times that he needed to find replacement soon. Hokage firstly thought she was joking or that she wanted to get rid of paperwork. But now it seemed like she thought it seriously.
The journey back to Konoha was peaceful. It lasted for three days. Mito and anbus were mostly quiet and Tsunade and Shizune would talk between themselves. Shizune would occasionally asked a question directed to Mito. Mito would answer it honestly, but those answers were always short. Like when Shizune asked if she had medical training, Mito replied with, no i have special chakra so I only spent some time with Konoha med-nin to learn how to stop internal bleeding, but I only learned from them one day. Both Shizune and Tsunade were surprised by her answer. The usual time to learn those skills was around 3 months.
However Tsunade was wondering what biju Mito was jinchuriki for, also she wondered how long this girl was in Konoha, she obviously trained under Jiraiya for some time, if she managed to summon a medium sized toad and that toad seemed to respect her. Tsunade also wondered how she managed to get ahold of Samehada, but she could not ask those questions without raising suspicion of having interest in Mito. Tsunade hoped that Mito would ask to be trained under her.
Hokage was waiting for their arrival in front of Konoha gates, signaling that someone important was going to come. Minato was going to training grounds 3, and suddenly stopped to see Hokage exiting the village. Hokage turned in time to see him pass by. Hok called for Minato and Minato rushed towards him asking :"Is something wrong."
The third shake his head and answered :" I am waiting for Mito to…"
However he didn't even get to Finnish. Minato reacted :" Mito is coming back. That is great. If I may I would like to spread those news to her friends, they didn't get to see her departure so they are very anxious."
Hokage nodded his head. He knew that warm welcome would be the best for both Mito, Shizune and Tsunade.
Minato rushed to training grounds 3, saying :" I have good news. You see somebody Is returning from mission. "
Rin eyes sparked :" is it Mito - Chan."
Minato nodded his head. Kakashi immediately lighted up. Obito was first to suggest :" should we inform the rest of teams."
Rin was also for it, however Kakashi was already gone. Minato saw him exiting training grounds. Meanwhile both Rin and Obito headed to training grounds of team 6, team 4 and team Choza. Hayate reacted similar to Kakashi however not for same reason. Genma was surprised and excited, however he went to get Shisui, which he saw earlier strolling towards Uchiha clan district. Once he explained that Mito was coming both of them rushed to the gates. When they reached a crowd was huge. There were many shinobi and civilans, and surprisingly Hokage was there too. The civilians were spreading rumors about who was coming. And teams of genin once they managed to squeeze through crowd and be in front also started to wonder how important Mito's mission really was. And if it was dangerous.
Hokage chuckled at most insane rumors like Hokage's lost child was returning or pregnant princess. Something in those lines. However none of rumors spoke about two princess coming. The first thing that was seen were 6 figures at least four of them wore all black outfits. One had green cloack and grey underdress, the last wore black cloack and grey underdress. The civilan started to chear when they recognized red hair. Mito stayed to wawe her hand as soon as she did the Anbu dissappeared and reappeared on gates. Hokage eyed them thinking that they still had long way to go to fit in society. But Tsunade could help with that.
Genins tried to recognize the two persons behind her but they still had some distance and they could not recognize them from such distance. As they were walking closer. Orochimaru and Jiraiya appeared next to Hokage. Jiraiya mumbled :" it is really her. I didn't believe that this would work." Orochimaru just nodded. As the girls were getting closer more people were gathering around gates.
Soon both Rins and Minato 's eyes bulged. They recognized Tsunade, Rin because Tsunade was obviously her role model and Minato personaly was introduced to Tsunade before she left Konoha. Soon the crowd started to cheer even louder. Mito spoke to Tsunade :" it seems you are very popular in Konoha."
Tsunade replied :" so are you."
Mito said :" Well I would probably be forgeten about if I stayed out of village like you did."
Tsunade could see the look in Mito's eyes that said she didn't belong here. Tsunade wondered what was that about.
They finally reached gates. Mito unsealed a scroll and carefully gave it to Hokage. That was her report. Hokage nodded his head and spoke to Tsunade :" Welcome home, dear Tsunade. I hope you can quickly fit back in."
The crowd cheered loudly. Tsunade was impressed she could feel those feelings she had for this village from long ago, when she was genin, however she also could feel the feelings she had after growing up. She smiled and replied :" it is nice to be back."
Hokage then gestured for her to follow him. However Tsunade watched Mito, who was quickly pulled in group of genins. Then Tsunade realized Mito was genin. She didn't have a chunin flak. Well she had lots things to talk with Hokage anyway. However something else caught her attention. One of boys looked like he worshiped her and there were three other boys standing around her. One she could recognize as Sakumoto son and one as Uchiha, the third one she couldn't recognize. However Mito reacted the most with that one. It was obvious how those boys felt about Mito. Hokage caught her gaze and hummed. It seemed like Mito impressed Tsunade too.
Mito was pulled by Obito he was the only one brave enough to act. The others were trying to get her attention and to make her come to them. After Obito did this he was scolded by Rin. She said something among the line of how he was rude, and didn't you know who was that. Obito obliviously didn't know. Rin just held her head with arms and gave attention to Mito.
Who was speaking to Hayate. Hayate said something among the lines, you should at least wake us up if you were going to leave early, you gave us a fright. Mito smiled saying :" Were you worried for me, you are such good friend, I should call you big brother."
Hayate flushed red:" I don't deserve that title, you helped me more so I should call you big sister."
Genma said :" but Hayate you are older."
Mito smiled at Genma and then smirked toward Hayate :" You see, big brother fits more, even though you act more like a mom."
Genma laughed and Hayate quickly hited him. While Mito said :" bad big brother, you do not hit innocent. "
Genma smiled at her. Hayate was looking between those two and decided to play along :" I won't allow Mito to date the guy who likes to mess up with me."
Mito laughed :"oh, oh. Genma now you are in trouble."
Genma started to beg Hayate for forgiveness. Meanwhile Kakashi and Shisui finally had time to talk with Mito. The teams were laughing so hard at skit in front of them that civilans wonder if they were normal.
