Tsunade spoke :" the bastard was to happy when he finally understood that I was serious. And I couldn't really help myself. So I left. I heard a lot of noise but I couldn't turn around. I didn't want to it was embarrassing."
Mito nodded :" I see, our family has a ton of love problems. "
Tsunade snorted :" sure does. Well Tenzo is our hope. "
Mito snorted :" Well you think he won't have fangrils all around him, once he goes into academy. "
Tsunade facepalmed. They talked into the night. Mito teased Tsunade occasionally. Shizune would join here and there. However she went to sleep first. Mito felt happy, but she could feel that time was running out. Kiri time limit was just in two weeks. And she wasn't looking forward to it. She hoped it would go how she planned and anticipated. However it wasn't sure. She also wondered how negotiations with Iwa were going. Well she will be going to Hokage office, might as well ask.
She went to sleep. The sleep was interrupted by Sage coming in her dreams.
The two didn't hear from each other in long time. Sage found out that Madara is still trying to force Kiri, but Mizukage is still not under his control. He said that black Zetsu began to move more carefully and now it was harder to find him. Mito understood. Sage was getting weaker, from overusing his chakra. He was doing something that wasn't allowed. He was breaking laws of nature and he was slowly getting rejected. Mito spoke slowly :" Why don't you take a break, I mean, you are exhausting yourself and I will need you later. I don't think that Madara is a problem right now."
Sage understood :" I will do so. I will return when I have more strength."
Mito's day was like usual. She went firstly with Tenzo to Orochimaru's lab, where Orochimaru surprised her with an antidote. Mito was tanking him while Tenzo searched for any snakes. Fortunately for Mito he did not find any. Mito talked about antidote more with Orochimaru. :" so you are saying that one drop of antidote has to be put in water and they are supposed to react in five minutes. Should I be worried and anticipate any aggressive reactions."
Orochimaru :" no, not at all. They will start sleeping. The poison was made to tire them out. So antidote has contrasting effect. "
Mito nodded :" You will still be doing it, right."
Orochimaru :" Yes, if we found in similar situation that we have some kind of base for it. "
Mito then called Tenzo and they went to Inzunaka clan compand. The Inzunaka didn't seem to mind them so they headed to dogs. Mito was suddenly worried. The dogs that were energetic yesterday today were too calm. She searched for Hana to hear if anything happened. However Tsume was the one she found. Tsume immediately spoke:" I don't think they are getting worse, but they are too calm."
Mito nodded :" I can't really get the reason behind that, but maybe they were tired out yesterday, playing with kids, they probably will be tiring easily for few weeks. Anyways here is antidote. Orochimaru - sama gave it to me this morning. "
Tsume was surprised :" we didn't expect it so soon. "Mito then spoke:" I would like to show how to use it. Is Hana-Chan not here. "
Tsume answered:" she is, however i don't know where. "
Mito nodded :" Well she will come when she sees us. Anyway I need water and bowls. "
Tsume nodded and went to nearby building and took out a medium sized bowl. Then she gestured to place they had a pipe.
Mito filled the bowl with water and then suddenly saw Hana running at them she smiled softly as she gave a young girl a bowl. They went into the barrier and laid bowl on the ground. Mito took out a small bottle and waited for one drop to hit the bowl. She then let one of dogs to drink it saying. :" he is supposed to go sleeping in 5 minutes, if he does just pur antidote in everyone's water howere be careful. 1 drop I supposed to go on litter because the antidote is really strong and if it is consumed wrongly it can cause different problems such as direhea. Or even it can cause problems with hormones. "
As she was explaining the dog fell asleep. Without sound so when Tenzo started to poke him Mito finally noticed. Mito relaxed and gave antidote to Hana as she started to refill the barrier with her healing chakra. She then checked every dog to see how they were healing without the antidote. When she checked everyone she continued :" when the ninkens wake up, feed them and write down everything they did."
Tsume spoke :" thank you for help."
Mito cuted her off:" I will be coming to compand for few more days, you can thank me then. I am going to report to Hokage now."
Tsume nodded and let the two leave. She wondered if Mito was everything she seemed.
Mito and Tenzo walked through the village, Tenzo was holding her hand. So when they entered the Hokage tower, the two were greeted by every guard and person in tower. Mito stopped in front of desk for secretary of Hokage waiting for her to lift her head see Mito waiting there. However the young girl was busy with paperwork. Mito felt bad but she had to interup her.
Mito cleared her throat, which caused the girl who looked to be just over 18, lift her head in surprise, already to apologize. However Mito interupted her again:" I need a academy enternce form."
The girl searched for it for few seconds. Only realizing that girl in front of her was Uzumaki Mito. The person Hokage said was the best in paperwork he saw. The girl spoke as she handled the form to Mito :" I highly respect you, if you don't mind, could you give me advice."
Mito responded :" Well, I would say you need to organize everything before you start. Then you can always write down notes where something is. And the last thing is try to remember how each document is supposed to look. So that you can always know if something isn't written correctly. "
Mito then took out pen from her seal and quickly filled out the form and said:" here, this is how academy enetrence form is supposed to look. You can ignore some minor mistakes but these three lines are most important. "
The girl smiled brightly and asked :" do you need to go to Hokage office, he isn't busy right now."
Mito smirked :" yes, thank you. "
She knocked on the doors carefully. Waiting for come in. She heard someone moving to the doors however she didn't feel anyone. She realized she couldn't feel anything in the room. So when the doors opened and she could enter with Tenzo who also seemed confused. She entered and looked around the room, only to see Minato and Hokage drinking tea. Well there were discussing something before she knocked. Mito spoke first :" I am sorry for interrupting you, Hokage - sama, Minato-sama."
The two were surprised by the tone, it was filled with respect however when she spoke to Minato there was some warmth to it to. Mito then again spoke:" I see, you have puted new seals on. However I don't think that is good, many shinobi in case of emergency won't be able to find you Hokage - sama, so I would recommend that you use it only when is necessary."
Hokage nodded :" yes that was the plan, but today we are just testing them. "
Mito snorted :" You are just taking advantage of them, you don't want to work and be interupted in your gossiping. "
Minato was almost red as he spoke:" we didn't do that. Anyways do you like them. "
Mito answered honestly :" Since I know why they were invented I can't really like them, well, anyways I came here to report about Inzunaka matter. "
Hokage straightedge a bit and spoke:" Is there any progress. "
Mito answered :" Yes, Orochimaru-sama, made an antidote and we gave them first dose. The ninkens were doing better for few days already, both of us came to conclusions that this poison wasn't finished procjet and it was experiment, I am sure Black Zetsu was behind it, he wants to create a new poison to kill humans. However he isn't successful for now. But also there is possibility that he is creating a diversion. The ninkens are supposed to be healed by the end of next week. However they will need a rehabitation period. "
Hokage nodded and spoke :" Is there anything else. "
Mito didn't hesitate to say :" I want to know who negotiations are going with Iwa. "
Hokage spoke:" but you aren't involved into it. "
Mito responded coldly :" Well i think differently, I chose Minato to lead them and you accepted and one more thing I am only concerned because Kiri. If you are not able to make negotiations in our way than we will have to go to war with Kiri, which will open a chance for attack from Iwa too. Kumo is probably lurking in their too. Don't forget Kiri is strong now they didn't have to fight us for 5 months and they didn't have any battles. So they are probably stronger than Konoha is. "
Minato nodded :" Well, negogations aren't going the way I wanted them. Iwa wants more freedom. But we can't afford to give them anything. "
Mito didn't understood :" I don't understand, they lost, why are you giving them a choice. If you want I can give you advice on how to deal with them. "
Minato nodded. Mito spoke:" use your stubbornness, be harsh on them, you are losing this because you are to soft, because they saw that we have most of our troops on Kiri border they know something is happening so they are buying time, waiting for some incident to happen to get themselves involved and end us. So stay harsh. If they want more take from them what you already gave them. Try to scare them. Onoki-dono still thinks that you are a brat who killed 50 of his shinobis, he does not respect you but he does fear you. Use that fear to create respect. "
Minato could see logic in that. However could he pull it off. Hokage had a sad look on his face. Mito didn't even look at his direction while she was giving her advice. She spoke to Minato like she used to speak to him, it did seem disrespectful, however the people like Hokage need led someone to clearly speak their mind. To see that was the really only solution. Mito seeing that two weren't going to speak anytime soon spoke again :" Minato - sama, believe in yourself, you can do it, that is the reason I suggested you in first place. If you want I can come to next negotiations to help you."
Hokage was surprised by her words. However before he could speak his opinion, Minato answered :" could you. I would love that. And to hear your opinion on it. The next one is actually today in 9.pm. We are meeting at clans council room. "
Mito nodded :" Well I will come here in 8.pm. Hokage - sama, Minato-sama, goodbye."
Mito headed straight to the training grounds in Senju compand with Tenzo. Explaining how academy will start in few weeks. And how he must become the strongest in his class. Mito trained with him and when they had enough they returned to the house. Tsunade was still there doing some paperwork. And as soon as he saw Mito she handled some of it to her. Mito wanted to curse her luck however Tenzo was right there.
Tsunade spoke :" lunch will soon be done, so help me until then, this is punishment for yesterday."
Mito mumbled:" You know I did a lot of your job today, filling out the form for entering the academy."
Tsunade snorted :" How helpful you are. Next time don't suggest something that will make you do paperwork. "
Mito said :" now it is suddenly my fault. I hate you strong willded women. "
Tsunade snorted again saying:" aren't you one too. "
Mito froze for a second and then spoke:" Well I geuss I am. I mean I have to be one around every single idiot in my life"
Tsunade laughed :" now you get me."
Tenzo was looking confused at those two asking :" am I included in those idiots."
Mito answered :" no you are not, you fit into another category called too cute and troublesome at same time."
Tenzo shot :" wait how am I troublesome."
Mito spoke :" snakes you like snakes and now I will need to be always careful around you. "
Tenzo smirked as he took out a small one.
Mito freaked out and jumped on the table and then on the ceiling saying :" don't come any closer. "
