Chapter 91
3.pov
Tsunade walked confidently from the shadows. Purring fear in civilan council with her glare and every step she took to come closer to them. She stopped in the middle of room. She carefully bowed to both Hokage and clan heads and she only lowered her head to the civilans. She eyed every one of them carefully trying to stay cool. She spoke to the Hokage :" I have another matter to speak about. Hokage - sama already knows about this, so I am guessing nobody will object."
She waited for few seconds seing nobody spoke she started :" I already found someone with Senju blood in his genes. I would like to get custody over him from you Hokage - sama. "
Civilians started to speak :" and how are we sure he is indeed a Senju, and not you convince him into believing so."
Tsunade and Hokage both frowned and clan heads were disgusted with disrespect.
Tsunade spoke :" Orochimaru already comfirmed him being one."
Tsunade snorted and spoke again :" so I am asking you Hokage - sama to give me custudy over Tenzo-kun "
Minato eyes widden but he knew that he should never show his emotions.
Mito finally took young boy in her hands and stepped from the shadows yet again. Every clan head was surprised to see the boy clinging to Mito as if she was his everything. Some of them froze once they saw his eyes. They were familiar with those eyes which told you every emotion. Obviously only older were frozen.
Hokage in the meantime spoke his agreement to Tsunade's request.
The civilan were mad about his approval. They weren't sure the boy was a Senju from the words of Tsunade alone.
Tenzo was looking at Tsunade his smile small. And Mito let him down on the floor. Tenzo holded himself straight and he spoke :" I am Tenzo. I can show you that I am Senju." looking at the Hokage to see if it is okay.
The floor around him started to move at first then flowers started to bloom around him. Finally one wooden branch shot towards him and Mito holding one of flowers and stopped just in front of Mito, who carefully took the flower and put it in her hair. Getting a smile from Tenzo.
The both shinobi and civilans council were silent and surprised by the wood release. Minato was hiding gapping mounth behind his hand. Well it was successful because nobody really was paying him any attention. All of the attention was on the young boy who as soon as he noticed shift in atmosphere came closer to Mito holding his hands to pick him up. Mito did it immediately. Hiding the boy from attention of the room, or at least that is how Tenzo felt.
Civilan member asked when everyone stopped watching the boy not to make him fear them. :" where has this young boy been until now, if we may know. He may be a spy."
Hokage nodded his head :" Tenzo - kun indeed is trained to be spy. I am sorry to tell you that he was personally trained by Danzo and that I didn't know about his existence. Danzo was doing his research on Senju clan as soon as Tsunade had left. So he found a way to create a new Senju. Without my permission or my knowledge. If we had found him sooner Danzo would have been sentenced for death, however he died from heart attack. Mito and Orochimaru had personally found him. He took liking to Mitos chakra and was staying with her for almost a week now. "
Civilian council did not have time to tell anything more. Because the clans were outraged by the facts they learned.
Hokage had to return the topic back to Senju matter :" Well since this is done we still need to talk about Senju matter. Tsunade your opinion please."
Tsunade nodded her head and she spoke :" I am not against restoring my clan, however since I need only one child to make it official I am against CRA."
Civilian council was not satisfied yet again and were ready to yell any moment, however Hokage asked his questions cutting them :" Then did you think about your potential partner for this child. "
The smirk on civilian faces were creepy, they knew that Tsunade was prideful and after losing Dan that she could not find love, so they expected to her say no.
However Tsunade carefully spoke:" I must say that I had thought it a lot, I have come to decision. I a-am going to choose Jiraiya if I had to." her voice was barely above whisper at then end. But everyone heard it. And everyone was shocked, not even Mito could predict this, she couldn't predict how Jiraiya would feel about this or how would the relationship between them go. But she did not need to think about that it wasn't her business. The room was silent.
Minato was so shocked that his hand dropped down showing his mouth. However nobody looked better not even Hokage himself. Well this wasn't like anything that he was prepared for. But it certainly was the best solution, seeing that even Mito was surprised, he was satisfied that Tsunade came to this conclusion herself without anyone interfere with her thoughts. Civilans could not really complain because one of their for CRA was Jiraiya, even though he wasn't from any clan he still was powerhouse. Clan heads nodded their heads and Hokage spoke :" Well since that's what you have decided and nobody is opposed to it this matter is finished. And so I conclude this meeting. You may all leave."
As those words were said Hokage stood up and left the room, Minato following him closely. The room was getting empty with civilans leaving first and then shinobi clans. Mito handed Tenzo to Shizune and headed straight to the Inzunaka dou waiting for her. Tenzo didn't want to leave her but Mito said if he stayed with her he would miss training and Shizune cooking a cake.
Hokage was satisfied with meeting, he had expected for it to last at least to the noon, but now it was 9:30 so they were really fast, and to his pleasure civilians didn't have a chance to say anything about topics. Even in the one he thought they would have most interest. He hummed happily as they reached the office, he could feel that Nara clan head was heading to office to probably to speak about Mito situation. Minato was mostly shocked about possiblety of his sensei and Tsunade being together. His expression was complex.
Nara clan head entered the office and walked to the window Hokage was looking through. He waited for response from Hokage :" Is she angry at me still, and how angry from your perspective."
Nara clan head gulped. Minato understood immediately it was serious. Nara spoke:" The problem is not her anger directed at you, she does not seem to hold a grudge towards you, however the problem is that she lost her trust in you, Hokage - sama, however she didn't lose her trust in village or clans, it is just you who she does not trust anymore. She is really sure at her felling and she said that she won't work for you anymore, however she said that she isn't betraying us, she said that she will finnish the mission she is currently on and that she will take any requests that are coming directly from clans , as you saw today, she also said that she would cooperate with Minato. It seems to me that once you earn her trust you should not lose it. She is a pure genius. She is super useful as ally but she is more dangerous as our enemy, so I am warning you Minato not lose her trust. "
Minato spoke :" if that is so. I wanna ask you, do you think she is a prophet. "
Nara stopped for second :" Actually she didn't gave that feeling to me. Why. "
Hokage was deeply lost in his thoughts.
Minato answered honestly :" when she returned from kannabi mission she said a prophecy similar to Jiraya's and toads she was even more specific. She spoke about the child who is yet to be born, saying his name as her savior."
Nara :" How did you hear the prophecy, did she tell it to you. "
Minato shake his head :" she was sleep talking and walking around the room. She never spoke about the child when she was awake, I only know that the child will be born in October two years from now. "
Nara nodded his head in understanding :" any specific features of child."
Minato spoke :" blue eyes and blonde hair, she was going to say sunshine but stopped in middle of it. She said his name though Naruto, just like main character of Gusty Ninja. "
Nara nodded his head :" she must be really careful, especially around me, she often puts a cold act but she seems to care even more than some of shinobi, even though she seems as blinding as sun she can hide in darkness. She is a surviour. Those are most dangerous of people."
Hokage was finally done with thinking and he was analyzing the talk between the two. He realized he couldn't do anything to make Mito trust him any more. She wasn't going to hold a grudge that is great but she won't talk to him, unless she must.
Nara then remembered :" ah she told me to tell you the secret for dealing with paperwork."
That got Hokage attention really quickly :" what is it."
Minato was waiting for answer too. Nara chuckled :" a shadow clones"
The looks on the faces of two were great. They were ready to facepalm themselves.
Mito was surprised to see that Inzunaka clan dogs or ninken were just laying there. Mito sat down next to one and concerted really hard, mixing her chakra. It was harder for her since she was full of chakra. She also noticed the girl who was she assumed Hana, Kiba's older sister. The girl which was medic for Inzunaka dogs in future, she guessed that here it was that her passion began.
When her chakra was finally ready. She slowly began checking situation. She could feel poison it was from flower or something nature like. Mito began to make it leave dogs body through the wound it got in. She needed 5 minutes to get it rid completely from the dog. As soon as poison was out she felt the familiar sensation. That smell of wood, somehow mixed with smell of human. She immediately realized Black Zetsu. Black Zetsu was trying to create some kind of poison. She could tell that it still wasn't deadly for humans but animals, weren't so lucky, still it was slow poison.
Mito then stored the poison in one of her scrolls saying :" I will create antidote from this. The poison is gone from him, but that doesn't mean he is fine, he might have some of sings of sickness but he will survive for sure."
Inzunaka Tsume nodded her head. Understanding.
Mito then continued to heal dogs each time she was done faster. Soon she only needed a minute for a dog. She was done with half off dogs and it was noon. She had done every critical dog and she explained that she would come later and heal the rest and check the ones she healed now, explaining that the she needed rest and to analyze posion in dogs since it was still active. and it would be better if she returned it knowledge about it, because she doesn't want to make more damage .
Tsume thanked her for help. Mito smiled and spoke :" Hana-Chan why don't you take care of them while I am not here, and then when I come here, report to me if anything is wrong ok."
And Mito was gone after hearing Hana saying:" yes."
The only thing that Tsume wondered was how does Mito know her daughters name. She was scared of people, and Tsume was the whole time there and didn't hear her daughter interduce herself to the girl.
