Jiraiya was soon dismissed from the office and he went straight to Senju compand. Where his family waited for him. Well only Tsunade was awake, as she had received a message from Minato that Jiraiya has come back. She immediately greated him, and hugged him. However both of them were too tired and they went to sleep. They had to be awake early in the morning for announcement.
At the time Konoha main square was getting decorated, the colors were white and purple, the sub store was just across the square, to show how great the trust was between village, Uzumaki and Uchiha clan, the stores name was written whith golden letters. It was called U store. The first letter of the both clans names. And it was simple. The entrance had to be decorated the most as they left that for the last stage, they didn't want to disclose what they were preparing for tommorow, so they firstly decorated everything that was inside, and since the store couldn't be seen from outside everything was safe. The next thing on their list was to make decorations around the square. The ribbons were long and hanging from the lamps on the streets.
Everybody knew exactly what was needed to be done, everything was perfect and just in time. The Uchiha women breathed out their worries as the sun began to rise and with those rays the scene in front of them became even more beautiful. Every Uchiha women was happy that Mito was getting engaged with their Shisui. They absolutely loved the girl. It was only a shame that she would never get their name. As she is a Uzumaki. And Shisui could if he wanted become a Uzumaki too. But those things wouldn't be needed to discuss now. Slowly high ranking jonin and clan heads were coming and taking their places. It was 8. Am, but the sun just rise. Uzumaki clan members had just came to. The civilans also started to gather around.
.
In 20 minutes, it could be said that square of Konoha was centar of the whole village, almost everyone was present, only the shinobi on missions or the people that were late weren't here. Uzumaki clan stood next to Uchiha clan, and in front of both clans stood Minato as Hokage. To their left was shinobi council. Minato cleared his throat as he began his speech :" as many of you have heard rumors, about Uzumaki and Uchiha clan collaboration, we gathered here to show the results of that collaboration between the two clans."
Minato then smirked :" as many of you assumed, the collaboration was to strengthen the village and create a new weapons for protection. But there is also something else, but it isn't my thing to talk about. "
He then moved to the left leaving the space for Uchiha and Uzumaki clan heads.
It was at that moment that crowd could how Mito and Shisui were dressed. It wasn't their usual shinobi outfit. But rather Mito was dressed in purple dress, long and beautiful. Her make up was sparkly and it caught everyones eyes. On her hands there were gloves. Shisui was in a suit of white color, his hair wasn't messy and it looked kinda soft. His hair was down and it seemed a lot longer than it was. He also had a purple tie. The reason they stood out even more was because they were the only one dressed like that. While the others also weren't wearing their training oufits they weren't as dressed as the two.
However before everyone could analyze what that meant. Fugaku began with his speech, shifting the attention to himself.
He began :" i am glad that so many people have shoved up for our project, we promise not to disappoint you. As clan head and one of the leaders of project i will start talking more in depth about what our project was. We had a goal, to create a weapons that were easy to learn, but hard to lose, a weapon that is always ready for use a weapon that cannot be used by our enemies. Such weapons was created by Uchiha clan, however it wouldn't be possible without Uzumaki clan providing us thier knowledge and experience, the advices and seals they gave us were very helpful. However the Uzumaki clan didn't just help in such way, they also made a deal with us. "
Tamura then stepped closer to Fugaku. And he spoke in unison with Fugaku :" Upon realizing how close our clans were and how Mito and Shisui felt towards each other we decided to allow their wishes to be fulfilled, as we say that we mean that tjose two are engaged from today. As the Uzumaki clan ritual the two will dance in front of all of you, a dance called 'Forever yours' a dance made only for royals of Uzumaki clan. "
Before the crowd could procees ehat was just said. A music started a soft and slow tune. Fugaku and Tamura however didn't move from the center of the stage. But rather. Mito moved to left while Shisui moved to right, crossing the path for a second, their clothes touched for a second. They took five steps each and then they turned towards each other. Mitos red hair flow in air as she rushed towards Shisui as a tune become speeding up. Shisui however on other hand just stood on same spot. When Mito was right next to him only did he then move, his hand softly brushed her hair, mitos hand took his other. And the dance started. The dance was filled with emotions, of at first uncertainty, then coffidence, later hesitantion, and then acception. The story that they told, was mixed with genjutsu from both of them. Everyone was seeing a story of the two young people ib love, their first encounter, the curiosity of both of them, a chance to confess, then the answer to confession. Even though the person didn't say yes it was clear that they loved back. Seeing how the other person is in trouble, seeing how close they are to death. They finally accept their feelings they return the confession. And they slowly stopped dancing hugging each other. And with that the genjutsu stops to show to tired out kids hugging each other breathless. Most of the crowd didn't even notice that they were under a genjutsu. However they understood that the story they watched was the true story of Mito and Shisui. Even though it seemed like a short moment, Shisui and Mito had danced for a half of hour. They were hugging in front of Fugaku and Tamura and the dou of clan heads laid down their hand on their heads and said :" we are witness of this engagement, we bles these two and their pursuit of love."
And with that the fireworks started to go off. The confetti fell down. And the rest of shinobi clan heads blessed Mito and Shisui. Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru. The crowd started cheering up also. In the crowd there were Kakashi and Genma standing next to each other, relax, well they would be if everyone else around them wasn't just staring at them. Their friends were also very confused, they didn't know anything about this.
They reacted by looking at them every few seconds asking them if everything was alright. However Genma and Kakashi didn't answer they just watched the show. They were focused on how happy Shisui and Mito looked. Finally when everything was over they said :" we knew about this, and it didn't bother us, just the attention of people watching us was bit weird."
Rin was the one who asked :" and you are fine with this for real. You are letting her go with him."
Kakashi and Genma laughed :" we aren't just letting them go, we are going on this journey called love together. "
The group was even more confused after hearing that. Genma smirked at them as he saw Mito and Shisui approach them after doing their part. The group looked at where his vision was pointing at.
Mito sighed softly as she noticed the expression of the group. She smiled and then, came with Shisui next to Kakashi and Genma. She asked :" are they troubling you boys."
Kakashi answered :" slightly, because they don't understand what we are trying to point out to them."
Mito nodded :" well we don't have much time to explain, today, as we have plans. But if you want we can explain it some other time, but i would rather that you figure it out yourself. "
And with that she took Genma and Kakashi by their hands while Shisui was holding her dress from getting dirty on the road. They then began walking towards the north side of square as there was a lot less people there. Before they could leave though. The group reached them. Hayate was the one who asked :" is this the thing talked about. If it is you know my answer."
Mito smiled :" thank you, but we really need to get going. As i said we have plans."
The group then started to ask Hayate what it was. Mito was grateful for Hayate, as he sacrificed himself for them to get away. She was also sure he wouldn't say anything either way. Hayate answered their questions with" it is their thing when they want to say, i know because i was asked my opinion on this matter " Hayate then grabbed Yugao's hand and they disappeared. They also had a date planned.
On the other side, Mito and the three boys had a lot of fun, on thier date. Mito had changed her outfit. And Shisui had done the same. They were going to have a picking on their usual training grounds. Mito and they talked about their future more, about when would they say it to others. About their plans. The date was fun because it was filled with teasing, mostly Mito. After they had eaten their food. They began training. The training was prepared by Mito abd it was meant for control of their chakra. As Mito had made a seal that needs a perfect chakra control of four people. The seal wasn't her idea, however she decided to do it, and she succeeded in few attempts. Well she made correct characters, but she knew that she alone couldn't activate it. It was Lisa's idea. The gourdian of knowledge, spoke about a seal that could stop a biju like creation, and even gedo statue, because it has same origins. However such thing needs a Uzumaki level of chakra and three perfect person controling the chakra flow. Mito hoped that this seal wouldn't need to be used, however by just learning and preparing for it they will get 2 times stronger, as they will try to control thier chakra more, they will have more chakra to their disposal, as they will save more.
The group was super confused as they went to restaurant after being left alone. They would go train but everyone else was busy. The people were trying to enter the U store. And there was huge line in front of it both shinobi and civilians were there, those so called wannabe be shinobi. Rin began :" so from what little information we gathered is that Mito likes Shisui. And the others don't mind that."
Raido spoke after her :" the part of her liking Shisui, could be a political thing thought."
Ibiki nodded and so did Tokara. Asuma hummed too. Kurenai was bit surprised by those words especially coming from Raido, but she understood. Guy, Obito and Rin looked confused. Obito seemed to know a little thing about was talking but he wasn't aware of political things. Guy was the one who asked :" what do you mean, by that."
Raido nodded :" all i am saying that it could be because Uchiha clan has many rumors about them, and they were getting isolated really fast before Mito awake, but since then the situation slowed down and is slightly better. So i am saying that Uchiha and Uzumaki clan are trying to tie Uchiha clan to village and let tjose rumors disappear. "
Obito nodded :" that is true, but i don't think that they would use Mito like that. "
Ibiki spoke :" Well technically they aren't using her, because she has every righy to break up the engagements. So it could be just for a show. "
Obito nodded :" the problem with that is, Mito was coming to Uchiha clan compand every day for months and every Uchiha women knows her and accepts her. Which means she doesn't want to break the engagements. "
Rin nodded :" Well it is obviously something that only they knew about, and that information is crucial to us, we need to figure what we are missing. "
Ibiki nodded :" that is right, if we heard correctly both clans accepted the engagement. However engagements between clans usually are like contracts, and if they are broken the clan that broke it has to pay a cost. "
Tokara nodded :" yes according to what we learned from cases of breaking the contracts in i&t. There must be something like this. "
Obito spoke :" then that means that such contract needs to be in Uzumaki and Uchiha clans. "
Everybody nodded. Obito continued :" then there are two things we can do, 1 the thing that probably won't work ' we ask clans to see engagement papers.' or 2 we go and sneakly read them through. Since we can't stole it. "
The group agreed again. Asuma said :" it would be best if we asked first though and then Obito could have a look into the contracts."
Obito exclaimed :" why me. "
Asuma smirked:" why you, 1 because you live one of the clans, 2 because your eyes can see the best and your memory of what you see is best. So you have both access to information and the ability to make sure we get righy information."
Rin nodded :" that is right, however i think that has to be last resort. Maybe they will give us a look. Maybe we should say something along ' we need to see how the papers look, because we want to get engaged. "
Raido then spoke :" then Obito and rin would need to ask that question. As you are the couple. And you are connected to Uchiha clan. But maybe we should try asking Uzumaki clan first as they are more likely to give us. "
Kurenai nodded :" that is right, but what kind of excuse should we try for them to listen to us. "
Raido smirked :" Obito will say that he wants to know how it looks, but he is to embarrassed to go and ask Uchiha clan about it. "
While the group was planning how to learn more informations, Mito and the boys were talking of they really should let others fond on their own or tell them straight to face. The discussion was ended with mito saying :" let them be for few days. A week. If they don't fond anything than that means thatwe hid it well, if they find out then it saves us trouble."
In the darkness, red eyes were trying to see light, however there was no such thing. Izuna stepped backwards as he felt a trap in front of him, he was training like this for months, so much that his senses can even catch a breath of Zetsu which were connected to Gedo statue. Black Zetsu has recently began creating more of those but it was really slow. Black Zetsu had plans, but they were nowhere close to being done. The plans were only in preparation phase.
