Kisame pushed her away saying :" I still hate you, and if it wasn't for this peace treaty you would already be dead."
Mito smirked as she said :" You are wrong, you would be dead. I am the strongest shinobi here and by far. I could even kill my teammates and leave without a scratch."
Kisame then froze seeing that Mito wasn't lying. He then asked :" Are we just your playthings."
Mito nodded :" the whole world is my toy. And I am currently cutting down my opponents possible moves. "
Kisame then stepped backwards and turned around saying :" I don't know if that is best for me. But I have to ask what does your opponent want. "
Mito answered :" total war, end of shinobi, and endless dreams of perfect world. "
Mito then quickly stepped towards the door and she entered the house before Kisame could.
Mei was glaring at her for few seconds and then hmped and look at Mizukage. Mito didn't react as she sat back down. Her smile was small and political. She asked :" Mizukage - dono, do you have questions about peace treaty."
Mizukage look at her, he did have a question however he knew his expression didn't give that away. Before he could speak Mito said :" there is one thing that isn't specified in treaty you must want to known what we have to offer and what we want from you."
Mizukage nodded :" ah, yes I was wondering about that part. If I may know what are you trading with Iwa."
Mito looked at him sceptically :" I cannot disclose such informations, because I didn't participate in writing of treaty with Iwa, and I don't know such details."
Nara knew that Mito was lying, but why. Maybe she still was careful about Kiri not signing the treaty.
Mizukage chuckled :" is that so. Maybe I gave you too much credit. "
Mito smiled as she said :" Konoha wants to trade for a larger amounts of herbs that grow in your area. Because you climate is special and we don't have similar herbs."
Mizukage understood, she changed her attitude once more to direct attention elsewhere. She wasn't going to let herself be praised or insulted.
Mizukage coldly answered :" and what would we get in return. "
Mito smirked :" whatever you want. Just say it m the trade will be fair."
Mizukage saw that his shinobi were quietly talking and whispering to each other. However he already knew what he wanted :" Then if I say, Konoha's seals. Would that be acceptable."
Mito nodded :" yes it would. The trade would be manged to be fair by average price on market."
Mizukage nodded as he asked Mei about how much was the average price of water herbs. Mito knew why. Yagura was higher in society since his birth and he always bought the best. The price wasn't problem for him. While Mei was also from upper levels of Kiri society her family was poorer and only held on position because their fame. When they finally counted everything in. Mito said :" 5 selas for one herb."
Mizukage then asked :" Which types of seals will you send us."
He was probably suspicious about the deal Mito answered honestly :" we will send a type of every single one and then when you test and decide which is the best for you we will send it to you."
Mizukage nodded :" then how much should we get of herbs for you and how often."
Mito nodded :" while Konoha is still recovering from a war we would like to have shipments every month and half with over 100 herbs. We will send you 340 seals every month."
Mizukage understood :" You seem to know about how long it takes for the herbs to grow."
Mito answered with hesitantion :" I lived here for six months. Did you really think I didn't pay attention what was going around me. "
The room froze on those words, Mizukage nodded :" of course you did. However most shinobi don't pay attention to herbs."
Mito nodded :" I was though by a medic nin before I was lived here. "
Mizukage nodded :" I see. Then I need just to sign down here right."
Mito nodded, and then took out two copies of the same document from the storage as she said :" please sign these too. Just in case it gets stolen or something "
The room was still kinda awkward because it was obvious that Mizukage avoided asking Mito what she knew about Kiri because it would seem like he wasn't trusting them. Mito played a role of diplomat throwned at wolves. Only knowing enough to get their attention and not be called a spy.
Mito relaxed when she handed one copy to Mizukage and she took the rest two she then respectfully bowed and then left the house. Behind were her teammates. Mito and they didn't look back as they headed straight to part of border they came in.
The journey back wasn't eventful and was kinda boring. She heard reporters from both Shikaku and Fugaku what they learned. Mito nodded here and there. She knew they could learn this things elsewhere but she needed to put a front of strong Konoha in front of Mizukage. Well Konoha right now is the strongest village. Well Mito only though that. She knew that Ame was really high up. Because of Nagato and Hanzo if he was still alive. However lucky for the rest of world they were fighting each other and not cooperating.
Meanwhile in Iwa, Onoki was both satisfied by Roshi and at same time disappointed. Satisfied because Roshi brought Raikage son and not because he leted Mito take the other one. And problem was because they didn't see any importance in that kid. Sure he was traveling with A. But other that Than he was average.
The didn't get anything out of A no matter how hard they tried. The only thing that made him happy was when Konoha team met with Roshi they told them :" take your time. Don't say anything to Kumo right now. We will send you a message when you can. Konoha thinks it is in favor of our alliance to keep it to ourselves longer to be able to gather more info."
Team 7 had a easy journey to meeting point. They arrived few hours early they took a break there. Only tensing when they felt few chakra signals approach. They were getting better at sensing chakra signals. However they could not be considered a sensors because their range was only 200 meters which meant they had 20 seconds to prepare themselves. When Roshi jumped down from the tree he looked at all of them as he said :" here this one is yours." Minato caught a glance of shinobi carried in back, he could comfirm it was A. He carefully caught B. And he spoke before Roshi could move away :" please take your….."
On their way back towards Konoha, Kakashi asked :" Minato - sensei, would we survive if we run at this dou."
Minato nodded :" we would however they would probably won over us."
Kakashi then sighed :" I knew, there isn't a way we can catch to Mito."
Minato nodded :" Mito is special, her growth rate is impressive. Especially since she isn't focused on one thing. She doesn't master everything she tries however she makes it usable and she carefully uses it. You Kakashi you are younger than she is, so it is normal for you to be weaker than her. "
Kakashi was confused by his logic :" but I am stronger than older of her. "
Minato :" Well just like you Mito can be considered a genius. "
When they returned to Konoha. It was already Wednesday night when they returned. The first place they visited was a i&t where Hokage was waiting for them after getting report from gates. However the investigation didn't gain them anything. B wasn't talking about anything. Hokage said :" don't do anything to him. Mito will take care of him."
In Thursday morning. Jiraiya headed out for his mission. Tsunade was not happy about it. Because in this few days she spent with him it was probably the happiest period of her time. She got closer to Tenzo and they were always together. She spent every single moment to enjoy in her new relationship with Jiraiya. However since Jiraiya was going on a mission she got a lot of free time. She wondered what she could do. And then it came to her mind she should focus on making Tenzo more sociable. She took him in hospitals. Where she would let him hang with sick kids his age.
It proved to be successful. The boy still would sometimes go to see Orochimaru.
Mito and her team returned in Sunday, and late afternoon in that. They went straight to Hokage were they reported. Hokage seemed satisfied. Mito was the first one to bow down and leave the office. She headed straight towards the i&t. She wasn't surprised to see Ibiki there as a intern. It was so predictable. Well since she knew he would eventually end as a head of this place. Mito said to Ibiki :" I see, you got a internship here. Would you mind and show me the way to Kumo ninja that was brought recently."
Ibiki was surprised to see her, thinking she would still be on a mission, he asked :" does Hokage know about your visit." however before Mito could confirm, Yamanaka clan head spoke from behind him :" it is fine she can go there. "
Ibiki nodded as he showed the way. Mito was surprised to see that Yamanaka was following her. She guess it was because he thought the she would use similar jutsu. Mito then spoke :" You don't need to worry, I don't know any Yamanaka jutsu. This is ability connected to biju in our bodies and it works only if both of us are jinchuriki."
Yamanaka clan nodded :" still i want to see it."
The door opened and Mito saw B. This time. He didn't have his sunglasses on and he looked really tired. Mito noted that he probably didn't eat fearing his food being injected with truth serum. Mito then enetered the room, his eyes focused on her. He spoke :" it seemes like you are here to see me, did you fall in love with me, ya fool."
Mito chuckled :" so lame. I came to tell you something."
However Mito wasn't looking at him, his face more his stomach. "
She was coming closer, he was tied on chair so he couldn't move he asked :" what are you doing red Senju."
Mito laughed :" You are sticking with nickname when you know my surname.."
B was surprised by her words and her hand reaching his head. And then grabbing his forehead. Suddenly B felt something appear in his mindspace and what was more he couldn't enter it. He panicked saying :" what are you doing, however he didn't hear response from Mito.
Mito was sitting on top of Isobu appearing in mindscape of Gyuki and killer B. Mito began :" it is nice to meet famous Gyuki - dono. "
Eight tails looked down as he said :" it is nice to meet a jinchuriki of Isobu."
Mito nodded :" I must say your host is incredible, he already has a complete control of you right. Because this feels like it."
Gyuki spoke :" he does, but I can feel that you are also working on yours."
Mito smirked :" Anyways, I wanted to talk with you about possible danger all of the jinchuriki will face. "
Isobu and Mito talked about how dangerous black Zetsu was and what was his plan. Isobu explained that Mito was indeed a daughter of Sage. Mito in the end said :" i won't forbid you from telling B about this. However please don't tell him anything about me. Also may I ask you one thing more. Is the two tails already sealed in Ni Yugito. I know you talk right. If it possible tell her to be in meting hall of all of biju in month time i will meet her there. She will probably want to make sure I exist. "
Gyuki nodded :" it shall be done. "
When Mito returned to normal world she stumbled back few steps and the got steady. She smiled and she said :" I got what I wanted. "
Killer B shouted :" what did you do. "
Mito smirked :" I talked with Gyuki. "
Killer B didn't notice that he stopped rapping long time ago as he asked :" How did you do that Uzumaki. You don't have that kekkei genkai."
Mito nodded :" that is true however I just can do it."
Mito then continued to move towards exit as she said to B. :" it was nice meeting you. However I doubt we will see each other soon. "
Mito exited the room and spoke with Yamanaka clan who spoke worried :" please don't use that to much. "
Mito smiled :" I know, only when I need to." she the stopped for a second and then continued :" could you send a report to Hokage that I am done with what I need.
Yamanaka asked :" You won't report to him., "
Mito nodded :" he didn't ask me to. I know he already knows what I talked about with Gyuki."
Mito then moved towards exit of i&t headquarters.
When she was out. Mito slowly headed towards Senju compand she wasn't surprised to find it empty it already time. When Tsunade and Shizunes shifts began. She then went to house she slept in. Only to find that Tenzo probably moved out. It was more practical for him to live in main house and soon the academy would start.. So she would spend less time with him. It was a sad realization, however Mito knew it was for the best. She did help him the best she could. Mito went to sleep immediately. Her eyes gave up so quickly. She wasn't used to that jinchuriki sharing.
When Ibiki got a break he immediately informed his teammates about Mito's return . Hayate then headed straight to Senju compand only to find Mito waking up to say hello to him she gesture to come closer and sit on her bed. He did. However he didn't expect her to lay down on his lap. Mito said :" I missed you a lot. We haven't hang together for months. I am slightly tired but we can chill like this and talk about stuff right."
Hayate laughed :" of course, little sister."
Mito had a smile on her face. She then asked :" do you have anything to talk about. "
Hayate said :" Actually there is a thing I find weird. How is it possible that Kakashi and Genma are getting along. While fighting for you."
Mito shuggered :" I don't know why but they seem to be fine with each other, they understand each other better than I do."
The talk was mostly about roumor in village. Mito didn't know about since she was taking care of Tenzo. So she didn't have a chance to hear. Apparently the roumors around her quieted down a lot. The peace was a huge topic and what was more the shinobi started to play games on street. More like betting on most random stuff like who would buy a certain dress or who would win in certain love triangles.
