Chapter 89

Mito was surprised by how quickly Tenzo relaxed in this new environment. Both of them slept peacefully. Mito woke up and it was 6. Am. It was still bit early but Mito decided to head to kitchen make some breakfast. She was done with it and quickly ate her portion before heading inside of bathroom to shower. In the meantime Tenzo woke up. He was started by not seeing Mito but he could feel her close by. When he started to explore the house he found breakfast ready for him and he could hear water running down from bathroom.
Mito finally was done with showering and she fully clothed herself, her long hair now was under large towel. She could feel that Shizune and Tsunade were awake too, probably getting ready for meeting. Mito knew she would be there as she is involved in this situation. If you ask how. Well first she brought Tsunade back and second she is taking care of one of Senju. Tenzo is going to be present there too. Mito was finding the best outfit for the boy. Once she found it she gave Tenzo to change. She was ready and do was Tenzo.
While they waited for Tsunade and Shizune to pick them up. Tenzo played with Mito 's hair. Doing braid. One super long braid.
However to Mito surprise Tsunade and Shizune weren't the first ones at her doors. It was Kakashi he was wearing his usual outfit. Mito opened the doors and invited him to come in. Kakashi refused:" I cannot stay for long, I just want to ask you 2 things."
From the back of house Tenzo asked Mito :" Mito-nee-Chan is it time to go."
Mito answered :" no not yet, my friend came to ask me some questions."
Kakashi was surprised by sudden sudden voice and had a questionable expression.
Mito said :" right you wanted to ask some questions."
Kakashi still was interested in the voice but he knew that he would learn after asking his questions :" could you train us tomorrow. You see sensei and Kushina are both busy."
Mito went blank for a second and answered :" I don't have anything scheduled for tomorrow, but you won't mind if I bring somebody along, right."
She glanced in the house like she was saying:" him"
Kakashi nodded and asked the next question :" Then you won't mind having dinner with me."
Mito was dense and said:" sure. I don't mind."
Kakashi could hear footsteps coming from the house they were extremely light which indicated that person was a shinobi. However he was surprised to see small boy maybe older than 5. Asking Mito :" Tsuna oba, still didn't come."
Mito answered :" no Ten-Chan, here I would like to introduce you to my friend."
Tenzo nodded slowly speaking :" I am Tenzo, nice to meet you."
Kakashi nodded his head and said:" I am Hatake Kakashi, it is pleasure to meet you Tenzo-kun. "
Tenzo eyes widen when he heard Hatake part but nobody noticed. Mito carefully said :" Ten-Chan we are going to train with Kakashi and his team tomorrow. "
Tenzo sparked :" training with Mito - nee-chan . Sure. "
Kakashi spoke again :" I need to go now Kushina - nee-san is very strict."
Mito smirked and said:" Then don't be late."
Kakashi nodded and and went to training grounds. Telling the team that Mito agreed on training them.
Few minutes later Tsunade and Shizune were in front of Mito and Tenzo. They were ready to go. The council meeting was in 8 am. And now was 7.am. they still had some time to speak with Hokage. However usually clan heads would come earlier to speak with him too. Mito knew that the civilan council was still pretty much same as before but soon the that would change with petition about civilan council being chosen every 4 years. Mito suggested that.
When they came in Hokage's tower they headed immediately to meeting room knowing that Hokage's office was full with people. Mito found herself and Tenzo a place to sit in space hidden in shadows, she felt presence of almost every clan head in tower. Only Uchiha was not here yet but he was close by. Tsunade sat next to two and Shizune sat next to them. While this meeting was going to discuss about Senju matter it wasn't only about that.
In Hokage's office, Hokage spoke with clan heads:" do you have any wishes about which problem should we spoke first."
Nara spoke:" I wish that the meeting doesn't take long time to finish."
His humor wasn't appreciated by Hokage who mumbled :" impossible"
Minato nodded and said:" if I may suggest, we should firstly talk about shinobi things and later turn to matters that civilan council has rights to speak in."
Nara spoke :" ah i see Minato - San wants to show what civilan council can do and can't do. Very wisely and it will spare us some time because the council would be cocky if we solved the matter that concerned them first. "
Hokage gasped and said :" You are right. So that means Senju matters are last. "
Clan heads peeked up at the name of the matter. However when they were about to ask for explanation of this matter Hokage silenced everyone with glare.
Saying :" it is time to go in the meeting room our guest are already arrived. "
Hokage stood up and walked towards the meeting room on the way there Uchiha clan head was waiting for him. The two quietly talked while walking.
Uchiha clan had requested that the matter of Uchiha would be first. It wasn't that important but it would be valuable information about future.
When clan heads entered and sat on their seats. Hokage sat on his seat and called Mito with his hands signature. Mito walked from the shadows passing by Minato who was going inside because only clan heads had spots on table for sitting. Minato wasn't surprised to see Tsunade and Shizune however he was when he noticed Tenzo. He supposed Mito was still on her mission to babysitting the boy.
Mito was still angry with Hokage but she didn't let it show, she stood next to Hokage waiting for him to speak. His hands moved in gesture that said to lean down. Mito did it hesitantly. The clans attention was on her. Hokage whispered in her ears :" I am sorry for reacting that way yesterday. I know that you did it thinking that was the best for village."
Mito spoke saying:" no, not at all, that wasn't only reason I said that."
Now the room was trying to hear what Hokage was saying :" Mito - Chan I know I hurted you, but I still did it your way. And I think you were right. It is better this way. "
Mito answered :" I knew that. However I can't forgive you yet. " she spoke mre quietly not wanting for clan heads to know about her being mad at Hokage.
Hokage nodded his head and said:" that is alright for now. Did you find anything new in your studies."
Mito answered :" I have reached the core problem of my point of view. So I don't think I when I will be ready to perform this seal."
Hokage said :" I see, but there isn't any need for it right now. "
Mito nodded her head and was about to leave. When Nara asked her :" Mito-Chan, do you mind if I speak with you for a second. "
Mito headed to him straight and the Nara stood up and they left the room for some privacy. Mito did wonder what Nara clan head wanted to speak with her.
Nara Shikaru began :" Are you still mad about Hokage shutting you down yesterday. I m sincerely sorry about that. Hokage - sama has a lot on his mind and maybe he is too old for the hat. But nonetheless he shouldn't have done that to you."
Mito answered :" Honestly I knew all those things, and I am surprised you wanted to talk about this with me, anyways I am not mad about him yelling at me, I am mad at him for reminding me not to trust adults. "
Shikaru asked :" what does that mean. "
Mito answered :" honestly I don't see myself working with Hokage anymore, so I won't involve myself in any more mess, or should I say I won't be helping with problems in village until Minato-San becomes a Hokage. "
Nara was shocked :" Are you sure about that, Mito - Chan we still need you. "
Mito answered :" not really, i Will still be involved in Senju matter and in Kiri threats, Iwa will be handled by Minato and if he wants my help I will give it to him. And I will tell Hokage a secret how to deal with paperwork. But I won't be coming here every day."
Nara asked :" if I may ask do you mind working with the clans. "
Mito answered :" if they directly ask for my help then I don't mind. But I don't think any clan needs my help. "
Nara then spoke:" do you think that only problem in Konoha is civilian council. Don't you see the state in clans. "
Mito answered :" there are some problems, some are bigger than other but I can't do anything about them right now when we are exhausted from war, and besides once Minato takes charge I expect that almost every clan to change a clan head to fit into. I heard that Uchiha are already chosen a next clan head how about you. "
Nara:" certainly even the shinobi council is getting old, but sudden change like that. "
Mito shake her head :" don't think it will be sudden, Minato still is on the long mission which will take a lot of time after all we are thinking about making Iwa our long lasting ally. "
Mito then noticed that civilan council were coming from the end of hall and she quickly entered the metting room Nara quickly following her. The door almost hited Inzunaka women, Mito immediately realized that was Tsume, the daughter of current Inzunaka head however Mito didn't notice her come inside the room.which meant that Tsume was there even before Mito entered the first time. Mito could not hide her surprised face. However she did not stop she headed straight to shadows wondering how she didn't notice. When she saw a grin on Minato. She asked :" what are you grinning about I am not really in mood."
Minato gulped remembering Kushina when she wasn't in mood. He answered honestly :" I am sorry, but your face."
Mito asked :" Did you do something"
Minato answered :" oh I and Kushina were doing some research, wanting to surprise you, and we made a seals which conceals somebody presence complitly."
Mito was awed and started :" Really, wow that is amazing." and then she realized :" hey you made it only to spy on me right."
Minato nodded and then stopped :" wait how did you know. "
Mito said :" what, did you think that Kushina wasn't overheard when she plans something, and Rin was the one who heard and told me to be extra careful"
Minato face palmed saying :" still there isn't anything you can do about it."
Mito spoke :"are you sure about that. I won't give you keys to barrier and it is done."
Minato paled but he knew how he could get the key. But he let Mito think she won. The council was ready to start.
