The last day of jonin test. Mito was smirking the whole morning moving towards the training grounds, where would last part be held. She didn't wonder too mich about her opponent, she just hoped they would give her a good fight.
Mito when arrived was a bit disappointed when she noticed that she would fight last. Because it was scheduled by points, and she had most so she would go last.
Mito watched others fight first. The fights were interesting, but some where ob borderline of chunin. S
Mito got bored on first two. The two weren't week but they were ready to be jonin just yet. Mito sighed. When it time for Nara, who came in sixth position obliviously because he was to lazy to gather more points, she was amazed. The man was smart close to Shikaku level of smart. He managed to beat his opponent by not moving an inch. Mito nodded to herself this man was a genius, he would become a jonin for sure. He had strategy and he was strong, he adapted well. Mito wondered how it would feel to fight him, but she wouldn't ask. She was too busy after today.
Uchiha was the last one before Mito, mito was surprised when Fugaku appeared. The rush of excitement filled her whole body. If second place would fight someone like clan head, what would she fight. The match was obviously in favor of Fugaku. The match ended in 10 minutes. And Mito slowly stepped forward taking place in middle of training grounds. She wasn't surprised when Minato flashed in front of her. Her smile wider than ever before. She spoke :" it's been a year since we last fought. I will say i got a lot stronger."
The match started after those words. Mito kept her gourd up as she followed Minato with her eyes. His every step. She could see it, feel it, hear it. Mito was finally using one of things she learned from Isobu. How to make her senses like animals. Mito then noticed how Minato was surprised when she didn't move leaving him without openings. Mito smirked and she used all of her spead. She appeared right by him in 3 seconds, and they were 10 meters away. Minato managed to dodge her first kick, however he didn't notice that Mito was going for hit there. She just returned her leg backwards showing how flexible she was and how well her balance was. Minato had no tine or space to dodge it. So he blocked. Luckily for him the kick had lost a lot power when it reached him, so the block didn't hurt him. However Mito wasn't done she used her hand in slap like maner as she tried to break his block. Minato didn't see anything like this he wondered what it was for. It seemed familiar to gentle fist but at same time it wasn't. Mito smirked she was using her medical knowledge of points in your body. She was numbing his arms. However he noticed quickly and attacked her for first time. His arm misses by a centimeter. Mito barely dodged. She wanted to curse as Minato took this chance to go full forward. She could keep dodging but what would thay do for her. Mito could predict where each of his hits would go, but she still lacked spead to move out of way. So Mito decided to take on hit. Minato didn't realize she took it on purpose. Until he noticed how his hand was stuck at her stomach. Mitos chakra was keeping his hand there and not letting it go. He did not have time to dodge a hit in his face. Since both of Mitos hands were free she used them both. One was hitting him in face while the other one was in his stomach. And the rate was two hits in face and one at stomach. Minato had hard time breathing as Mito kept punching him. He was close to going down however he was slowly forming a wind jutsu behind Mito. When Mito noticed it was to late. She couldn't both dodge it and keep a hold of Minato. She dodged. But it still cuted her a bit. Minato was free and jumped as far as be could. His previously unstucked hand was controling the wind blade. So Mito was dodging and not attacking him. Mito was careful, thinking of she should use her jutsu too. Well if he was using ninjutsu so she would. Mito gathered hee chakra as she was dodging the wind. She then created a earth spear. The spear then glowed up as Mito took it and put a seal on it. She then blocked then wind with it. She used a little of her water chakara and spit water ball, making the gathered wind chakra dissappear. While Mito was doing this Minato was recovering.
Mito smirked as she saw the mans surprised face when she dealt with the wind. She rushed towards him, coming in less than 10 seconds, however Minato was ready he used his Hiraishin just in time. Mito knew where he was yet she didn't have enough time to dodge his next attack. She only had enough time to prepare her body for impact. Minato slammed his whole body into her. A crunch could be heard. However it wasn't either Minato or Mito, it was cruch of the spear. Which was in Mitos hand. Indicating the pain she was enduring. Mito was pissed. Minato really tried to defeat her with this kind of move. She gathered her chakra moving it to her hair and then she tried to strangle Minato who was on her back. Mito noticed how Minato was slowly reaching for a kunai to cut her hair.
Mito then used her broken spear, or one half of it to punch him with. Minato was puched so hard that he forgot how to breathe. Mito won that match but she didn't care, she was carefully searching if any of her long hair was harmed in any way. Well luckily it only a bit dirty. She hmphed as she looked at Minato who was still on the ground.
The audience was impressed, the Hokage lost, and she seemed not surprised and was only caring about her hair. Mito looked at them and smirked :" is something wrong."
Fugaku laughed :" no Mito - Chan nothing is wrong. It is just that larger audience wasn't informed of your actual strength. "
Mito spoke :". But neither of us was going full out."
Mito then waited until Hokage was finally up as everyone headed to Hokage's office to hear if they would be promoted.
Mito was first to get promoted, for excellent results and more things. She stopped listening after hearing she passed. The two others that got promoted were Uchiha and Nara. While two others got to be tokubetsu jonin and three weren't promoted.
Mito celebrated ger promotion the very same day. The celebration had three phases. First was with Tsunade, Tenzo and Shizune, Chieko and Haruko. The time she spent with them was calm but filled with happiness. It was most about how they didn't doubt her and her talking about her experience in it. Shizune was listening closely she wanted to get promoted soon but when she heard what it was like she seemed a bit sad knowing she wasn't ready. Mito comforted her :"oh, don't worry, there's lots of time for you to get stronger. You see i will probably be this strong for 3 next years, while you have much to grow, so much potential and if you pushed yourself a bit more you will be there in no time. Don't compare yourself with me, i am 13 but everyone else was at least 17. "
The next celebrition was actually with Uzumaki clan. It was lively dinner which even Minato had time to attend. The time they spent was rather filled with teasing of one big family. It was mostly about how Kushina and Minato were next in line to have things to celebrate for. Since the last celebration they had was when they discovered that Suzume was pregnant.
Mito was smiling because she knew that would be also soon. Mikoto was also pregnant however she was only 3 months in, unlike Suzume who was reaching her fifth. Mito was getting teased as the one that was doing everything quickly and that she shouldn't rush to get a child. Mito laughed and said :" i am nit planing to have one soon, don't worry." Kushina nodded as she said :" that is right, you still don't whi to chose to have as your childs father."
Mito almost chooked on her drink as she spitvit out of her mouth saying :" i don't believe you went there. "
The while table laughed as Mito immediately bursted in tears of laughter.
The next and last celebration phase was at restaurant with everyone she around her age. Even Baku and Mido where there together with Shisui. Mito ordered the most expensive food and everyone was surprised asking her if it was alright. If she really could pay for all of it. Mito nodded :" of course i can, i was officially payed for doing paperworks for lord third, i basically eaened a b-rank mission pay every day. And i also went on other missions while everything was getting paid by lord third because couldn't provide for myself."
Genma snorted :" ah, you used your brain to fool him. "
Mito nodded.
After eating. Mito asked a rumor she heard :" so i heard that you Asuma are going to be one of twelve gourdian ninja. So are you. "
Asuma nodded :" yes, i wanted to go and father said it would be good for my espirence. "
Mito then asked :" and you are fine with leaving your team behind."
Asuma nodded :" they understand, and since all of us got promoted to chunin we had mission with other teams."
However Mito wasn't looking at him whule he was answering she was looking at Kurenai who seemed to be following another conversation, but it was obvious that it was pretend. Kurenai seemed to accept it but she seemed to think she wanted him to stay.
Mito then asked :" so how long did you think of staying there."
Asuma took a sip of his drink :" the spot actually is open just for 6 months, and then when the person i am replacing recovers i will go back."
Mito was surprised :" i see, the rumors said that you would be gone for years. But i think that six months are enough to experience many different things. You will grow as a person amd return better. I am sure everyone will be waiting for you here. "
Then Mito was asked many questions what she would be doing from now, if she would take missions. Mito shake her head :" i will take one position in the government, I had a deal with Hokage about this, once i became jonin i will replace Orochimaru. "
Since only Anko who was here knew what that meant and she knew that it wasn't supposed to be well know. She joined in :"you mean those researcher he was doing for last few months."
Mito nodded :" yes at first it was joined project, but Hokage didn't want me to do it right away and focus more on medical training."
Kakashi asked :" and that is it. Don't tell me you won't have time for missions. "
Mito nodded :" the experiment is fragile and needs to be watched 24/7, Orochimaru-sama has gotten to stiff and wants to go on few missions. While i do finnishing touches."
Then after long party and paying a bill that was almost the same worth of house she bought for Uzumaki clan. Mito headed home. It was late and she needed to have her beauty sleep. Mito woke up next morning ready to move she wasn't excited as yesterday. She was a bit tired but because she was happy it didn't bother her much. She got ready in 10 minutes and then headed to Root headquarters. The shinobi forces didn't know what was there, only thinking that it was some kind of lab. While only higher ups knew. Root now operated just before under their own leader, but this time around their leader was loyal to Hokage. Mito entered the headquarters as quietly as she could, however every Root member was already waiting for her. They were bowing to her. Mito smirked as she said :" i would like you to be on your knees and facing me, not bowing down. You always need to be seeing my face."
The root members quickly shifted in position and Mito laughed :" i only joked, you can do whatever you like."
Then some of the root members relaxed and bowed deeply while others stayed like this. She nodded and spoke :" i must say that i am thankful for Orochimaru-sama efforts, he organized this really well and he even helped you guys, my precious shinobi to get better emotionally and psychologicaly."
Orochimaru who was sitting in his chair next to where the root members were greating Mito. Looked up and smiled, genuinely smiled. He then clapped his hands and spoke :" Mito - san was the one to give this position in first place of course i would do my best."
Mito nodded and then followed the man in lab. They were in front of Zetsu bodies. Mito noticed that the speed of regeneration was slower than she expected but it was fine. The bodies were almost half done compared where they were estimated to be.
Mito nodded :" it is bit behind but it is still good enough. We still have many time to do this."
Orochimaru nodded :" i want to finish the whole Uzumaki library before we actually do this."
Mito nodded :" i understand. I am still unable to understand final part jutsu. However I am close to. "
When they returned Mito sat down on a chair that Orochimaru asked to made especially for her. It was a chair much like to the one Mito was sitting on Hokage's dinner celebration of new year. It was however more elegant and more fitting. It was comfy and warm. Mito then said :" i will give you your first mission. You are to watch over any suspicious activity of our civilians, it think they are still funding each other with money of village. You will have the task to investigate it and thento report to me. Also some of you will be going on missions that nobody wants to take. Even if they are d-rank, the village needs to be always in best shape. Then one more group will be watching how village defense systems work. " Mito hummed. That was it for now. She looked as the groups formed on their own. Mito knew that Uzumaki seals are fine but still they were impossible to break into. She wondered if they found anything she would fix it.
Mito drank her tea with Orochimaru as je reported everyones progress over time. It was beautiful thing. Because they were almost ready to fit anywhere in society. It was nice. Orochimaru then stood up and said :" i will be going to mission today. And i will be back in few days. I am certain you will fine." Mito nodded :" good luck to you. But i doubt you will need it."
She then was left alone in this half dark place. She didn't feel weird, it was kinda relaxing, well she wasn't completely alone. Some root members were still here gourding her. She didn't mind it at all. She knew she didn't need it, but it was nice. She looked to left and found another coup of tea and root member slowly putting it down. Mito nodded to him :" you wanted to talk."
The root nodded :" well there are few things i wanted to ask. Since our program is once again opened and we lost many of our younger members. I am not complaining about that but soon when we have bigger activities, maybe we won't have enough members. "
Mito nodded :" i see, you have a point, i assume you have few people in mind. "
The root member took out 10 forms about few possible members. Mito looked at it closely and said :" these were considered by Danzo, there are few that fit in my vision but few that don't."
She then took out Kabutos file and said :" this one i will give to Orochimaru. And the ones that are older than 16 can enter of they want."
That lefr twi flies in her hand Mito said :" i don't know about this dou, but i will leave investigating them after they are done woth checking the seals."
Root nodded :" fhe invations will be send immediately and reach them. In few.hours and they have all the time that want to decide."
Mito nodded :" that is good. " she then thought if they needed to search for more people and where they could find them. Maybe she could ask Hokage that chunins could enter the program if they were older than 16 for few months. That would be required for being ready for jonin test. Mito did plan to train the people here and send them on missions. She only needed his premision and since she would go and meet him today that was the time to ask him. She would even do his paperwork if he accepted. Actually her clones would do that. But it wasn't like Minato didn't have his clones, but he lacked chakra for more than 5. Mito stopped daydreaming when she noticed that her tea was getting cold. She sipped it down and stood up :" follow me to Hokage's office, but keep your distance. We are still secret organization. Other villages don't need to know of us and the best way to keep it like that, to make sure nobody knows of us of people who can be easily taken advantage of.,"
