The very next morning Mito created 20 clones, she then went to headquarters and waited for new members to get here. Some root members have returned from their missions, but Mito didn't want to send them back on another one so she made sure they would train the chunins. Those root members that previously had stayed now were sent on mission. Mito smiled aa she noticed that missions weren't all done and thaf at least 2 or 3 days would be needed to be done with them all.
At least they couldn't complain about that. She then sat down drinking tea. She noticed that chunins have entered just on time. Mito nodded to herself as she spoke :"did you read your files. "
The chunins bowed as they answered :" yes,."
Mito nodded :" then shall i take you on tour around the headquarters."
Mito then showed them kitchen, the sleeping area, lab and training facilities. She then gestured to root members that were there :" if you hadn't noticed, these are others root members. They just returned from missions, and the ones that were here yesterday are on one right now. Usually this place has at least 10 root here, but the whole number of root operatives is over 60. So with you it will be 70.i don't know when you will meet all of them, but you will eventually. Now i will leave you their responsibility. They will call your name and your are to follow them. They will help in training you . "
Mito then headed back and the root members took thier charges. The training wasn't meant to be to difficult but Mito also didn't know what was difficult anymore. She was training the hardest out of all and she didn't know how.
She did what she thought was good. Well it didn't matter she was strong and she could carry her duty out. She sighed as she began with dealing with paperwork that was connected to the missions they completed. There was one message that caught her attention. It was from Nono. It said that Nono was expected to come here today at evening. Mito nodded as she sent a message to the person sge found to replace Nono in orphanage. She had found this woman many months ago and they actually went few time to orphanage to check if the woman would fit in. Mito sighed softly as she continued to do paperwork. The things were being dealt with, but soon she wondered if everything was going to be alright. It was 3 months for Karin to be born and 4 to Sasuke. 7 for Naruto and others would be born in between or after Naruto.
On the other side of village in Uchiha compand there was a gathering of women, Mikoto was sitting at the top while the rest of Uchiha women were surrounding her. The Uzumaki guest still didn't come but they weren't even expected yet. Mikoto made everyone gather early because she wanted to say somethings :" i have heard that Mito - san had this idea and it will be beneficial for our clan to make sure that Suzume and Kushina feel like home. What is more we could help Shisui in this way, the young boy has a deep feelings for Mito - san, and he has harsh opponents. Even Kushina has someone she is rooting for. "
Uchiha women nodded and stared to gossip how perfect pair Mito and Shisui were. They knew if they were to talk about this now it was time. Uzumaki should not hear this talk. Mikoto laughed along with jokes and she wished that it actually happened. She really liked Mito.
Kushina and Suzume finally came on time. Mikoto personally came towards them on the door she hugged the two women and showed them the way. They drank tea first and ate cookies as they had a small talk. After being there for a half of hour Kushina and Suzume started to show how the seals would be done. The women activated their sharingans and watched carefully. Most of them had one tomoe. The progress was fast as Kushina and Suzume would get enough amount of seals in just a hour. They would then show the other seal. After 3 hours the gathering came to an end. Kushina and Suzume were satisfied with the results. They did more than they thought they would. If they continued like this the whole shipment could be done within a week. The Uchiha women were also satisfied with the seals they were shown. There were useful not only in battle but also in chores.
Kushina and Suzume had talk with Mikoto about the pregnancy. While the Kushina's pregnancy was supposed to be kept secret, Mikoto noticed how her friend gained some weight, and noticed how she wasn't complaining about it, like she usually would, so the only conclusion was that she was pregnant. However she never spoke that she knew. So she wasn't surprised when Suzume ans Kushina talked about this with her.
Well it wouldn't be weird if Kushina was just wondering how it would feel, bur she also would nod her head when the two spoke about their experience.
Kushina then asked :"Mikoto - chan, do you like Mito - chan."
Mikoto was surprised by the question she didn't expect it :" of course, i like her, she is really nice and pretty easy to get along with and super cute."
Suzume spoke :" i heard that you adopted a boy who has a crush on her. "
Mikoto nodded :" Shisui, yes because he has a potential to be very powerful."
Kushina smiled :" i also heard that you are rooting for him to end up with Mito - chan, but isn't he bit to young, i mean she is almost 14 while he is 8."
Mikoto nodded :" he is almost 9. Well Kakashi is younger than her too. He maybe little younger than her but he is also emotionally mess, so i don't think he is ready to be in relationship with Mito - chan either. "
Suzume spoke to calm tensions:" i must say that i agree with both of you, but it is ultimately Mitos decision with who she will end. "
Mikoto and Kushina nodded. Suzume spoke again :" i have heard form Tsunade that she is rooting for Genma - kun, and he seemes to not lack anything."
Kushina and Mikoto nodded :" that's true but we never know maybe they won't end up together. "
Suzume nodded :" but by the behavior of Mito i think she will end up with all of them. She seems to like them all, which was shown last year. Don't you agree."
Kushina nodded :" but the law doesn't allow it. "
Suzume shake her head :" there is possiblety, if she weeds like Uzumaki princess, she can marry more than one person. "
Mikoto and Kushina were surprised :" what really, i didn't know that. "
Suzume spoke :" that is because you didn't bother reading the inner laws of the Uzumaki clan to the very end. Usually it was meant for keeping the Uzumaki main branch line. The prince and princess could have more than one partners. They usually would wed first and then wait for some time to wed their second. But there were cases when they would do at same time. I must say that i think that Genma will be probably first husband,. "
Kushina calmed down and asked :" You really think that will happen. "
Suzume nodded :" knowing Mitos personality it is very likely. "
Suzume and Kushina went to Uzumaki clan house first. Because Kushina knew there were few shinobi always following her and keeping her safe. So she would be safe no matter what. Suzume was bit surprised to see Mito there but only realozing that it was a clone helping Tamura she nodded to herself. Tamura had a few days of and he would cuddle with her as much as possible. She loved that he was touchy when they had time, she missed him. The time they spent together was just sleeping and eating together he would touch her but it was not nearly enough. She wad glad that Mito actually noticed that and helped them out. She slowly got up in the room where Tamura was sleeping. He had went back to sleep when Suzume went to meet with Kushina, he had been fussing over her leaving the house. He was like that. It troubled her a bit but she could endure it of he would allow her movements if she was few others. She entered the room to see Tamura without his shirt laying down his eyes half open. Looking at her lovingly. He patted the spot next to him and she layed carefully there. His strong hands were cuddling her, he was on his side and watching her face. His mouth came closer as he kissed her. The kiss was gentle and slow. The hand landed softly on her belly and was stationed there feeling the babies movement. They would be in that position for a while.
The very next morning Mito was satisfied by everything she learned from her clones. She learned how much Kushina and Suzume managed to make seals and how much each of teams on lectures already knew. It seemed that Tamura was great teacher, and that almost all of the teams were close to intermediate level of seals.
Mito then woke to the headquarters. She was greated by root members, rhe ones that returned from the mission, mostly b rank ones. She told them to rest for few days as she would give them missions then. She saw Nono there, Mito gestured to come closer and have a seat. Mito noticed the pile of paperwork but decided to ignore it for now. She ordered tea for both of them and asked :" Did you travel well."
Nono nodded :" yes thanks to you. The travel was easy."
Mito nodded :" the children are supposed to come in few hours, so i wanted to talk about the plan."
Nono nodded :" ah, yes, i have a plan but you can add anything that you want. "
Mito nodded as she took the plan. To be honest it was well made plan, however it lacked something. Mito scribble down chakra control exercise. Nono looked confused as she asked :" isn't it bit too early. "
Mito shake her head :" no, it isn't, but rather than standard one we should teach them through the game."
Nono nodded :" you have one on mind"
Mito answered :" leaping toad. It is basically game of pouring your chakra in toad that leaps in direction of the chakra you put. However the chakra naturally spins so this is difficult to get at first."
Nono tried the exercise, but failed for few times, Mito meanwhile was dealing with paperwork. The chunins entered again just on time and were surprised to see much more shinobi here than yesterday. What was else they saw for first time someone struggling to do something. Mito saw them staring at Nono so she cleared her throat. The attention was now on her as she pointed to direction of training grounds. Mito smirked as she saw that they followed.
There were a lot of children in front of the door and the noise was noticeable. Mito nodded tp Nono who finally got it right. Mito stood up from her chair and walked to the doors she wasn't going to frighten tje children. She slowly walked and opened the doors. She smiled her bright smile and spoke :" oh, i was waiting for you cuties, i was so glad when so many of you would come and train with me." the older boys were suspicious of her but she said :" now shall we go in. Since there is a lot of you i and Nono - san will be taking care of you. Well mostly Nono - san will. Well since it is our first day shall we began with interducing each other. "
Mito smirked :" but there is twist by this. Lets say that Nono san would go first the next one would be the personal that catches the thrown frog. "
And just like that Mito caught the frog that Nono had made leap, she smirked :" i am Uzumaki Mito, age 13 and i am a jonin. "
The children nodded in awe. She then made a frog leap.
A older boy caught it he introduced himself but when he tried to make it leap he had troubles so Mito decided to explain it to him how to do it. She regreted the idea with leaping forgs when she yad to explain it for 20 times. Luckily that was enough for everyone to get it. Now since everyone interduced themselves.
Nono decided to take them in free training area where they would spar against each other. The spar was meant to be academy stlye to prepare them for academy. Mito sighed softly as she saw how flawed the katas were. She continued her paperwork. She would come and help Nono once she finished it. Thankfully it didn't take to long. Mito tried her best to not to seem disappointed. She knew they had a long way to go. She showed them some more appropriate katas that would go together with academy taijutsu.
The children then continued to exercise more things as the time passed. Mito sighed softly as she showed more exercises that everyone was supposed to do when they had free time.
The training of the brats was something she thought would be fun but it seemed like ut wouldn't be that way.
When Nono had to go the next day and leave Mito alone with the children Mito made tons of clones and made thier training just a tiny bit harsher. Luckily it was still easy for everyone.
She made them compete whose leaping toad would jump the highest and would calmly land. Then who could make it leap more than once. She made sure that kids would have fun while doing everything to make them stronger. She saw how they were slowly starting to get used to training and how slowly they were getting better and better.
In next week time when Nono visited again she was surprised when most of the children were already able to be on sides of tree and they were fighting in spars with good and usable academy taijutsu. However they were nowhere near where Mito planed them to be by the August. The older boys that were already in academy, would sometimes leave early so that they could make it in time. They had the biggest progress actually they were close to making to the genin by the strength. Mito though them lessons of teamwork and more.
Hokage was surprised when he heard the news form Mito how she actually handled the problems of Uzumaki clan and how she was doing with orphans .
Minato didn't think that Uzumaki clan would have such high pressure just from starting the lectures. The problem was that they could not teach everyone at same time. Even in groups of three there were some that were more talented and those who were a bit slower.
