Tsunade frowned seeing that Hokage was stopping Mito from telling her something. The boy in Mito's hands was tense too he was staring down the Hokage. Mito leted him down and spoke :" do you wish to tell her Hokage - sama, i am sorry I thought your silence was a sigh for me to speak about it."
Tsunade was impressed the girl backed down but clearly shown that she was hurt by those words and blamed Hokage, while she still showed loyalty to him. Tsunade saw that Mito was letting her some space to ask :" know what exactly sensei. "
Hokage stared Mito for a second, but he didn't speak. Tenzo was getting restless in the room. The silence was killing both Tsunade and Shizune, meanwhile Tenzo started to sweat, before he slowly spoke:" i Will tell you." Tsunade wondered who spoke for moment but when she saw that Tenzo was trembling and sweating, she noticed his mouth move without making too much sound. Hokage couldn't stop the boy. While the boy respected him, he was clearly on the Mito side and this involved him personally.
Mito was surprised to hear him speak those words she offered him her hand to give him comfort. Tenzo then continued :" I am the successful experiment that Mito-Chan and Orochimaru - sama found in forrest. I am the only surviving one out of 60 children that were experimented on. I am the first Hokage Clone."
Tsunade was frozen on the spot. She couldn't react. What does this mean did Hokage want to keep silent about this. She now saw where she saw those eyes. The eyes that had some much emotions. She loved those eyes when she was young. Her grandfathers eyes. The boy was again in Mito's arms, silently crying in her shoulder. He was again scared, first of rejection from Tsunade and second from Hokage because he didn't follow the order. Mito was hughing the boy.
Tsunade finally managed to react, while she was mad at Hokage, she couldn't freak the kid. She couldn't abandon those eyes. Saying softly :" How old are you, Tenzo-kun."
Tenzo didn't reply still crying, however Mito answered for him :" he is five years old, soon he will be six. In few weeks."
Tsunade then asked :" if Tenzo-kun agrees I will take him in Senju clan compand. And later on he will be a member of Senju clan." Tenzo stopped crying at those words and said :" if Mito-Chan goes then I am not against it. " Tsunade could see how attached the boy was. Mito surprisingly answered :" Then we will take the offer. I will live in Senju clan compand, however I can not become a member of it."
Tenzo quietly asked :" why can't you. "
Mito answered :" I am a princess of my clan it would show disrespect to my clan. But I am still in some way your cousin. "
The boy nodded his head. Hokage cleared his throat, returning attention to him. Mito quickly reacted seeing the change of Tsunade face. Mito spoke:" How about Shizune - Chan, Tenzo-kun and I go to early lunch. " as she quickly took their hands and headed for a doors without giving glance to Hokage who was begging her to stay.
The loud noise was heard from Hokage tower. The trio wondered if it would stand when they returned from Hokage tower. Mito took them to the restaurant at the end of village. She carefully picked the food for Tenzo and ordered something similar for herself letting Shizune choose for herself. They ate and talked mostly about Shizune's traveling stories from her travels with Tsunade. Tenzo enjoyed those. After Shizune couldn't remember any more. Mito started to ask her about medical ninjutsu. The topic seemed interesting to both Mito and Tenzo so they listened carefully. Tenzo finnished his food and was waiting for Mito to finnish hers. Shizune was in bathroom. The loud noise stopped about five minutes ago, even though here it was heard. However only shinobi could hear it. Shizune wanted to split the bill however Mito was against it :" I get payed for doing the paperwork, and I have a lot of income from Konoha. While you just came here few days ago, I am sure you will start working in hospital soon so you will return the favor then. Okay"
Shizune had to nod her head in understanding.
When they returned the Hokage office was barely standing. Hokage was bruised and Anbu were knocked at least those who stood to protect the Hokage. Mito couldn't believe what happened here. She asked Tenzo :" could you prevent the room from falling down."
Tenzo nodded, forming the snake hand seal and pouring lots of his chakra. After almost 30 seconds the three wooden structures formed and stabilazed the room.
Tsunade was surprised to see that jutsu. While she knew he referred himself as Hashirama Clone she didn't think he would have a wood release. Mito slowly walked to Hokage helping him to sit on the couch. And ask Tsunade :" would you mind if Shizune - Chan healed them, we are in middle of negotiations and Iwa shinobi will be here in two days and he has a council meeting tomorrow, he should at least look presentable." Hokage was glad she at least respected him even though she sided with Tsunade for this situation. Tsunade mumbled fine, still looking at Tenzo. Shizune hurried herself to Hokage quickly healing his wounds. Mito carefully checked the situation with the Anbu.
They were only knocked, so that meant Tsunade restrained herself from punching them to hard. Mito knew how to help them she only pured a little amount of chakra surrounding them and they started to wake up, and were immediately at high allert.
Mito sighed.
Tenzo was looking at Tsunade eyes clearly seeing shock, the emotion was something like a love and something that seemed like hate. She probably didn't like how he knew wood release but she obviously liked him.
Tsunade hesitantly reached for his hand. Tenzo squzed her hand assuring her that it was fine. Tsunade hugged him. The boy wouldn't mind it but Tsunade was making him unable to breath or at least her huge chest was at fault. Mito was the one who noticed the discomfort of Tenzo. Saying :"You know I don't want to ruin the moment, but Tenzo-kun has troubles with breathing in that position."
Tsunade looked down and he seemed a bit red in his face clearly sigh of low oxygen in blood. Mito then showed how to hug Tenzo and returned him to Tsunade.
Mito and Tenzo spent afternoon packing things for the move. Mito wrote few letters she would send to her friends saying she moved house to Senju compand. The packing wasn't long with Mito packing things in sealing scroll. However she noticed that Tenzo didn't have a lot of clothes. Well she saw only his clothes he had been since the meeting in forest. So she decided to go with him to the market. She wasn't worried about her fashion in this case. Well because Tenzo could wear anything and he would look good, and besides she had experience with buying clothes for boys, she also knew it would be fine if she choose to avoid vibrant colors and she knew the safe colors. She also knew Senju clan wore a lot of white.
On the market she saw a lot of clothes that fitted Tenzo perfectly. He was obliviously tired of trying every single outfit. So Mito decided to buy he had tried. One was completely black, the other was completely white, one was dark green and one was light green. Mito and Tenzo then were going to see what would suit Tenzo for training. Well Tenzo insist on Anbu pants and Mito didn't comply his anbu shirts couldn't be found in his size so they searched for something that was his size and possibly similar.
While they were looking through clothes. Team Choza was walking through the market. Guy was the first one who noticed Mito in the stands. He started shouting :" Mito-San, what are you doing here."
Mito turned around after hearing his voice, she was to busy with finding clothes to check the chakra signatures around herself. Tenzo continued to search for a shirt.
Mito spoke to Guy :" buying clothes, what about you team Choza, coming from mission. "
Choza answered :" Yes, finally finished the d-rank mission."
Mito nodded :" ah i see."
Genma then said:" You know this is a shop for boys right, and this is section for children. So I was wondering what are you searching here i could help. "
Mito blushed a little :" I know, I buying clothes for my cousin you see we are trying to find a shirt his size."
Team Choza exclaimed :" cousin "
Mito then noticed that Tenzo was holding a shirt in his hand and was shyly hidding behind her. Mito answered :" Well yes, here his name is Tenzo, he is really shy so. "
Genma noticed how the small boy seemed not able to meet their eyes so he spoke:" I am Shiranui Genma, I am very good friend of your cousin."
Tenzo nodded his head. Genma then continued to introduce his team to Tenzo. Team Choza left soon leaving Mito Genma and Tenzo alone. Genma helped Tenzo find his size. He was surprised how well Mito chose colors for the young boy. At the end before he could leave Mito asked him to follow them.
Mito said :" I know it's a sudden thing, but I am moving out of my apartment. I don't want you guys to worry so I am telling you. I am going to live in Senju compand since Tenzo-kun wants me there."
Genma panicked at first but when he heard where she was going to live he was surprised :" wait are you saying that Tenzo - kun is Senju. "
Mito answered :" Yes, but that needs to be secret for few days, well Senju and Uzumaki were sister clans so we are all cousins."
Mito then gave him a letter :" this is a key to the barrier which I will install on Senju compand. I made one for each of you guys. If you could send them and inform them about my new address. Don't forget anyone ok. "
Genma nodded his head. He stopped when he noticed that Senju Tsunade and her student were waiting in front gates of Senju clan compand. He wanted to return as quickly as possible but he heard :" Mito - Chan did you bring a friend, why don't you invite him inside."
