Mito waited for a second before she spoke, she was hesitant about talking with Inoichi, however she was already here, and she decided to speak :" i have been nightmares, for quite a while, however they came unexpected and they aren't frequent."
Inoichi nodded :" nightmares you say, you are still child so it isn't unusual for you to be scared."
Mito shake her head :" the problem isn't the nightmarea themselves, because i am not scared of them, those nightmares are made of my memories, however the problem is that even if want to wake up, i can't. "
Inoichi found that information weird :" you can't wake up, so are you saying that you are trapped into your memories. "
Mito nodded :" I am not sure, but that is what i think, when i wake up, my sheaths are wet, and i look hunted. So i am also worried that my body isn't able to keep it up."
Inoichi nodded :" so when was the last nightmare. "
Mito answered :" it was 2 days ago."
Inoichi noted that down and asked :" and what was in that nightmare. "
Mito hesitated, as she answered :" i don't know if i should tell you about this. However i trust you."
Mito looked at him as she waited for his reaction. When she was satisfied she continued :" the nightmare began with day before my parents died, the day was usually blurry in my memories, so i was quite taken back when i realized it was that day, that day i was in some kind of trouble and my parents were trying to solve it. The scene had changed to me watching them die, i could not help them, i was powerless. I wanted them to live, however i had to go. The scene had again changed, i was in front of some old man, and i was asking him for help, however he called me a demon child as i was covered with blood. Then another man appeared. My dream then went on jumping from my childhood memories to my meting friends on my own. There was a conversation that i couldn't really decipher. And that was it. "
Inoichi nodded :" so, are you sure that those were your memories. "
Mito nodded :" unfortunately, when i watched them i learned more about those times as i wasn't as shooked as last time seeing those scenes. I felt like it was my body but i couldn't move on my will, it felt like this older me is so much different frpm the younger me."
Inoichi spoke finally :" it seems that those nightmares are PTSD, because you have lived through the trauma, there were cases of PTSD that were delayed , but there wasn't case that was 10 to 11 years late. I am not sure what it really is, pr what it means, but the best action would to keep contacting me if anything changes. Also if you feel something strange you should immediately contact me. I am on your side and you can always count on me. "
Mito nodded, as she asked :" i know that i can trust you, so i will also reveal something. But i wish that you don't reveal anything about today. "
Inoichi nodded :" i promise. "
Mito then spoke :" the very first time i had this kind of nightmare, there was this presence that didn't fit into my memories. What is worse i recognized that presence as someone that is after me. "
Inoichi spoke immediately :" what did that presence feel like."
Mito answered :" it was just there, however i could feel that it was trying to get into the nightmare, however it didn't manage. However since then the presence was that obvious, and for last time it was there at all."
Inoichi nodded :" that could mean that someone could be using a jutsu on you. However i know that you would also think about this, so why aren't you suspicious of this possibility. "
Mito answered :" that person shouldn't be able to do any jutsu of this kind. However there is a probability that we are somehow connected. "
Inoichi was confused :" and how could that be. "
Mito shake her head :" i can't really explain that, but the best description would be, that were are the same coin, but different sides of it. "
Inoichi asked her :" are you saying that he can also see future."
Mito shake her head :" it is more like he creates the future, he will do anything for his plan to go through, while i will do anything to stop him. "
Inoichi nodded :" i think that i get it. You aren't sure if everything is in your head, and there are so many theoris that you came with. But i think we should just need to search it up more, you don't have to worry about this, i will be the one in charge in it. "
Mito nodded as she stood up, she spoke :" i hope that i haven't troubled you too much, i also hope that i didn't stay here too long, and i wish you to have easy work. "
Inoichi stood up and bowed back to Mito, he reassured her that everything was fine.
Mito was bored, she didn't really have much to do. She wasn't feeling like visiting anyone, she thought about training, but it wouldn't be fun to train on her own. She then decided to take a walk around the village. She was greated everywhere she went, she would greet back. Once she walked next to academy she had realized that, it would be around Christmas now in her original world. That nostalgic feelings, that she never get to experience would hunt her down, she was depressed around this time. Because the holiday was for families however she never had one. She took longer route to the top of Hokage's heads. She decided to sit on it. Even though the day was sunny until just half of hour, now the sky was covered by clouds which suited Mitos emotional status. She was kinda sad and lost. She didn't feel like this for a while, but this time it wasn't as bad as before. The rain soon started, however Mito wasn't bothered she look down to streets, as suddenly they were empty, she thought about what to do, should she calm herself here, or maybe go home.
However before she could decide someone had approached her from behind holding a umbrella over her. She turned to see who it is.
It was Raido who spoke :" you should go home, it isn't good for you to be on rain."
Mito nodded :" i know, but it felt nice."
The silence was there for few seconds, and Mito spoke :" How did you find me."
Raido answered :" i saw you going here, and i didn't see you coming down. "
Mito laughed :" you are foolish, i could have just shushined out of here, but you went to check. "
Raido asnwerd :" what can i say, i was right."
Mito nodded :" so the question is, why are you here. "
Raido smirked :" i am just trying to be nice, what can i do."
Mito then spoke :" well nobody is willing to go out of his way without needing something."
Raido interrupted her :" expect you. "
Mito continued with what she wanted to say :" not even i, i always help you guys because i need you guys to be strong, so what is it, if you don't say anything, i will think that you like me. Romanticly of course. "
Raido flushed red :" i do have such fellings for you, however i am not here to confess. I want to know. "
Mito wasn't shocked about what he just said she knew :" You knew, that i knew, so why didn't you say anything. "
Raido answered :" i don't want to talk about that."
Mito nodded :" that is fine with me. What did you want to know. "
Mito was looking at the village while she was sitting down, Raido was standing over her, protecting her from rain.
Raido spoke :" what is your plan for future. "
Mito wasn't expecting that question, so she didn't answer immediately she began :" for now i plan on staying low. As i just cleaned the mess of Uchiha situation and neither i or Uchiha clan would benefit if something new happens. "
Raido nodded :" i understand that, but what do you plan with Kakashi, Genma and Shisui. That is something that should be resolved soon, right. "
Mito nodded :" you are really smart, but you keep hiding it, i don't like that, someone could get weong impressions, especially when you stay quiet. And to answer your question, i have a plan that will work out. So you don't need to worry, i won't end up getting hurt."
Raido nodded :" i understand, is this your rejection. "
Mito didn't answer it immediately :" i don't know, it is for you to decide i won't tell you to change your feelings or behavior towards me. "
Raido said :" if i didn't know you i would say that you are baiting me, but you just don't want to hurt me. "
Mito nodded :"however, i also can't reject someone that didn't even confess, don't you think so too." she turned around and looked him straight into his eyes :" you know that i was suspicious of your feelings towards me, i was only certain when i joked with you, that one time, i don't know how many years was it since then but i knew, maybe even before you knew."
Raido looked away :" that is right, i had fallen in love with you around that time. "
Mito asked :" Did you ever feel like you needed to tell me that. "
Raido shake his head :" i couldn't, you werr chased by others already, i felt bad if i got involved."
Mito nodded :" then out of pity i will answer the question you previously asked. The one about Kakashi, Shisui and Genma and my plans with them. However you aren't allowed to tell that to anyone. "
Raido looked her at her eyes and spoke :" i won't. "
Mito smirked :" i plan to marry them all. "
Raido was surprised :" what how. "
Mito looked at him with her beautiful eyes, the color seemed more towards blue now as she asked :" why, is it that weird. "
Raido was so confused :" i mean yes it is kinda weird, how would that even work, i don't know if that is legal, i mean, there is also a part where you had to get along with each other too."
Mito nodded :" you are absolutely right, there are things that we need be careful about. So about this being legal, i can say, in Uzumaki clan it is legal for royals to have multiple partners. Well to someone it could be weird, but to someone it is normal, it is all about perspective that people use. People would also find it weird that we are talking about this on this rainy day, don't you think so. "
Raido was standing there frozen as he heard an answer he didn't expect, Mito was such a mystery that he wanted to solve, but same time he could understand her. He had to ask :" do they know. "
Mito nodded :" they do. "
Raido then sat down saying :" let me proces this information." Mito then continued to look over the village as the rain was starting to slow down, she looked at Raido who had a shooked expression on his face, he look cute like that, however that was about it, Mito thought about Raido as a very good friend, it did bother her that he had feelings for her and that he didn't confess, if he didn't have feelings for her she would spend a lot of time with him, he was fun to hung around, but she didn't wish to send him false hope, and she thought if he did confess now, she would have to refuse him, as it would destroy the balance that she finally achieved with others. Well there was also that she didn't feel the same towards him. She did think that he was attractive, however it didn't go deeper.
Raido finally found right words :" i see, i am happy for yoi guys and I wish that it works out for you."
Mito nodded :" thank you for understanding. I hope we can be friends."
Raido smirked :" i am glad that we are on same wavelength."
Mito nodded :" your expression gives away your thoughts, just so you know. "
Raido nodded :" i will try to get better at this."
Mito understood what he meant, it was for both hiding his feelings on his face and for stopping liking her, so she spoke :" please take your time, i don't want you to be hurt. "
With those words the rain had stopped, and Raido was gone as soon as it did. Mito finally stood uo from the spot she was sitting, as she then shushined to her room, well today was unexpected day. She felt bad, as she knew that she hurted someone she considered a precious person to her, however she also knew that if she didn't do it now more people would hurt, especially over the time.
The days then slowly began to go by, as most of her friends were sent to mission and she was left in village to train her body back in shape. But she was already in shape. It was just a excuse to keep her safe in village. However she knew that she wouldn't be able to stay in village for to long.
It was extremely boring and she couldn't hande all those rumors anymore, so she went to Minatos office. Well she tried to go there, but always when she would get to half point she would just turn back, she didn't want to trouble anyone, and Minato would just probably refuse her request. If only she could get out of the village, even if it was just for a day, but she didn't have permission. Which made her feel caged. It was better on days when Kakashi, Genma or Shisui were in village, the best if they all were there. However even when they were in village they still had things to do. While Mito was basically on vacation until Hokage decided otherwise.
So basically she was screwed. Shw could plead for him to change his decision but she didn't know how successful would that be. So she talked about this on every dinner the Uzumaki clan had together. Sometimes even Minato would attend those. Over the time she got support form Tamura and Suzume, Kushina on the other hand wasn't too sure and Minato was slowly, really slowly letting go. Minato didn't want to make this decision on his own, so he went to ask clan council about this matter. In the end decision was made to let Mito free to leave on 3 mission in one month. It was like that because Yamanaka and Hokage were against letting her go on missions freely. Inoichi didn't want to comment why he didn't want Mito leaving the village.
