Mito then took Tenzo into her arms saying :" why don't we go to play with ninkens for some time. There is even a girl around your age there."
Tenzo excitedly jumped and they headed to Inzunaka compand. Mito and Tenzo entered the compand this time without knocking. Only to see Inzunaka clan members in some kind of panic. Mito immediately followed them only to see that few ninkens were starting to move out the barriers, possibly feeling that they were healthy and that they did not need more of healing. Mito was pissed, so she yelled at ninkens her glare was scary that even the air around froze :" What do you think you are doing. Even if you feel okay. There is no reason for you to exit the barrier. Now go back inside immediately."
The clan members froze, some of the saw Mito, her long red hair was in the air it looked beautiful however her eyes were cold and threatening. The dogs slowly retrieved back never taking a their eyes from Mito. The clan members were surprised. The ninkens would only be afraid of Inzunaka alphas and no outsiders.
This girl scared them easily and what is even worse she scared them too. Mito then move to the barrier and did something they did not understand at first. Until Mito spoke :" now you can't leave this barrier even if you want. Now let me check your situation."
She entered the barrier, and behind her was Hana the daughter of Tsume. Mito didn't notice her until the young girl pulled her for her leggings. Mito then softend her expression and looked down speaking to Hana :" Sometimes you have to be scary because you care, and to show how serious you are."
Hana nodded in understanding, and asked :" who is that."
Mito then realized that Tenzo was still in her hands so she leted the young boy down. Checking if he was scared of her only to see his understanding eyes and smile.
Tenzo smiled and spoke :" I am Tenzo of Senju, I am glad to meet you."
Hana shly said:" Inzunaka Hana, nice to meet y-you to."
Mito then asked Hana :" Did you notice anything about the ninkens, were they acting strange."
Hana answered :" no, they just stood up suddenly and started to walk like they use to before getting injured."
Mito answered :" ah, I see, will you help me to examine them."
Hana nodded. It didn't take long to examine everyone. Mito then filled the barrier to the fullest. Meanwhile Tenzo and Hana played with dogs who could move the laughter was helping every dog to relax.
Mito let the two to play while she wrote report of each dog's health. She was surprised that they were already better and that they were almost no need for antidote in those dogs. However the dogs which were still laying on the ground were healing slowly, just like she predicted well they did receive larger amounts of poison. Mito then saw Tsume who was looking inside of barrier slightly worried.
Mito decided to head their and answer her worries.
Tsume nodded to Mito as she exited the barrier. Tsume spoke :" what happened."
Mito answered :" no need to worry, Tsume-sama, the ninkens were thinking that they were already healed since they felt fine and did not want to take anymore of healing chakra for themselves, trying to speed others rehabilitation.. I managed to return them inside and made barrier to impossible to leave from inside. Unless you are human. "
Tsume nodded :" that is good. But what about kids. What are they doing. "
Mito tensed for second, remembering her childhood how nobody was allowed to play with her. She hoped Tenzo would have normal one at least from now. So she spoke softly :" they are playing, I hope you don't mind that. "
Tsume looked confused at Mito only to see sadness in her eyes:" not at all. I was only asking if the this was some method of healing too."
Mito spoke:" of course it is, the ninkens were restless and wanted to do something productive so the kids are wasting their built up energy. Making them more calm. You should let your clan children to play with them every day. "
Tsume asked:" the boy, did he had harsh childhood, is that the reason you are afraid of village not accepting him. "
Mito stay quiet for few seconds and then sighed :" Well, partly, he did have hard childhood, probably harder than my own. I am scared for him because I know how it feels not having a single friend even though there are lots of people of your age around you. Everybody thinks you are freak because you are different, you stand out. Tenzo isn't able to read emotions as well as he should, he lacks emotion education, he was learned that feelings and emotions were weaknesses. Then there are adults that don't understand they do not want to understand and they forbid to play with different children. Because they are afraid, not realizing that they are creating the thing they are afraid of. "
Tsume asked :" You are talking from your experience, so what happened to those people. "
Mito sighed:" I left them one day and the next day they were slaughtered. As I was the only shinobi in small village where everyone feared me. The bandits attack them and I didn't do anything to stop them as I didn't feel any kind of emotion for them. I didn't hate them, I didn't fell pity for them thinking that fate was like that. However I couldn't just watch them all die, do I took revenge for their death. "
Tsume spoke:" I don't think that I can understand this. It sounds like you are a bad person. "
Mito spoke :" I never said I was a good person. However I learned a lot since then I am trying to trust the people as much as I can, however even here someone managed to break my trust. "
As she spoke those words she stood up and opened her arms ready for Tenzo to slam at her in big hug. She spoke :" if you will excuse us we have a team waiting for us. "
And just like that they left.
Team 7 was already up when they returned. Mito smirked and pulled something from her storage seal. It looked like a papers. Team 7 asked :" what is that."
Mito answered :" your training schedule for whenever you have free time. I wanna see how you will do them now. Since it last for 2 hours which is exactly how much Rin has until her shift in hospital. Now read it and I will provide you with explanations and seals you will need. "
Team 7 nodded in understanding. They could already see what Mito wanted to specialize them in. The training went smoothly. Rin had go to hospital. Which left Mito, Tenzo, Kakashi and Obito alone.
Mito suggested that they should practice sensing and hiding. Explaining :" Tenzo and I are sensors, I am stronger sensor and in the whole world only 20 people are as good as me, Tenzo is close to the top, so if you manage to hid from him that will earn you reward and if you don't then you will get a training method for getting better at it. Tenzo and I are team and we will hide first you will try to find us together. "
Obito was to ask, but Mito spoke :" You can use sharingan only when you are sure we are close to you. "
Kakashi said :" wouldn't that lessen our chances "
Mito :" no, because he will run out chakra really soon, so you have to be careful like when you are on dangerous mission."
Mito and Tenzo went into forrest and started to hide. Tenzo wanted to hide on his own. So that he could not rely on Mito too much. Mito nodded in understanding. She suppressed her chakra that even Tenzo could barely feel it. He wondered how was she able to do it. He then couldn't see her anymore and it was even more difficult to follow her chakra signature.
He then felt Obito and Kakashi start moving. Luckily for Tenzo the rules never said anything about staying at one place so he followed Kakashi and Obito from very afar. He could not see them but he could feel their chakra constantly moving in opposite direction from his. Mito and him made some convincing proffs that they went there. So he was surprised that they fall that trap.
However Kakashi suddenly changed the direction he was moving. Tenzo realized that Kakashi had realized about the trap. Obito still continued that way carefully avoiding the trap and moving deeper in woods. Kakashi was getting closer to him. Tenzo decided not to move and he stay on the high tree waiting for to pass him by. And Kakashi absolutely didn't notice him. Which was kinda disappointing for him. He was about to move and the branch he was standing on made noise which alerted Kakashi who jumped immediately trying to find somebody, Tenzo cursed himself for moment then thought of something.
Kakashi didn't find anything on the branch he heard move which was suspicious. He checked carefully. Laying his hand on the tree to feel it warm. Too alive. He pulled and it turned out to be Tenzo. Kakashi was surprised and asked :" How did you do that."
Tenzo smirked:" this tree was hollow and I just created a wood like cover for my back and went inside."
Kakashi nodded and asked :" Mito-Chan isn't with you."
Tenzo nodded :" I wanted to hide from you guys on my own, and I can't really help you I can't feel her. Well that does mean that she isn't in 50 meters range. "
Kakashi and Tenzo come across Obito who was tired out from searching. Mito was feeling their chakra from far away eating ice cream and chilling. It was sweet and good enough to eat. To cold to bite. Her legs were swinging from the branch left and right making a light noise. Her attention was more on the ice cream than them though. So when she finnished the ice cream she felt them really close so she jumped to other tree making a sound she circled them waiting to see who would notice her moments first. Tenzo seemed to feel her around but couldn't pinpoint her because she move in and out his range. Obito had enough and was ready to use his sharingan only for Kakashi to speak:" Don't, she is playing with us. She said only when you are certain and we both know you aren't. Tenzo can you help."
Tenzo spoke:" she is playing with my range. She is moving a lot so I am not sure where she is but I feel like she is circling us."
Obito spoke:" Then we move up the trees. "
Mito finally was found.
Now Obito and Kakashi were to hide.
Mito and Tenzo did not use sensory abilities when the hide. And only started to search for them after 10 minutes. Mito expanded her sensory ability and immediately could feel both of them. They were easy to pinpoint with her range. So she decided to test Tenzo and boys if. Tenzo could really find them and if they could escape. It proved that Tenzo could find them after trying for 20 minutes which was good for both.
Mito announced that :" Tenzo won so you will get punishment."
Kakashi asked :" if we had won what would we get."
Mito smirked :" same."
Obito yelled:" hey that is not fair."
Mito answered :" maybe, but you need to get better in it. I could feel you from the very beginning. Well with this training is done. You may go. "
Obito left leaving Kakashi and Mito and Tenzo alone. Mito said:" I have to go home first. Tenzo has to spend time with his Oba. You can come with us. "
Kakashi spoke:" sure, I am glad you didn't forget about dinner plans. "
Mito smirked :" I would never "
When they reached the Senju compand. Mito entered with Tenzo in her arms and Kakashi behind her. He spoke to Genma yesterday and heard that Tsunade supported Genma for Mito. Well he wanted not to care but he couldn't he was hesitant to enter the house. But Mito lucky didn't either enter she spoke from doors:" I have a dinner plans with Kakashi so take care of Tenzo for few hours. Later I will talk to you about something I realized today."
Tsunade's voice reached the doors :" okay brat, be careful and have fun. You too Kakashi-kun."
Mito took his hand and they started to move to the village and then to restaurant.
