Mito was back in Konoha. She slowly had returned in the evening. Of the eight day, as she had a spar with a few bandits on her way back. Mito walked into village, and was immediately sent to go talk with Hokage. However Mito answered with :" Hokage must be tired, and so am i, i think that is best course of action if i visit him in the morning." Mito then walked by the gourds, who werr surprised with her response, they did not have a chance to ask her anything as she had dissappeared. As soon as she entered the village Mito could feel how lively it was. She however didn't mind the emptiness that she felt last few days. She had blowed out some steam, and she was acting a lot calmer now. She however still was on edge about what had happened few days ago.
Mito felt the people she cared about, in a same spot, however she was hesitant to go towards them, she had realized that she didn't tell them most important things and she probably wouldn't be allowed to sit and talk with them. Mito then walked to her home. She was tired, as she had used more chakra then she thought she did, especially because Isobu was drained form yesterday's training too.
So once she opened the doors of her house. Tamura and Suzume were at dinner table, talking about some clan related issues, Karin was eating her dinner slowly. Until they heard the door opened. Mito was greated warmly as usual. She talked about them, about her mission, well not in detail, and Mito answered everything easily. However Tamura and Suzume let her get some rest as they had began taking about their previous issue. Mito was glad that she was left alone to rest. While she did have her own house, she always went here first after returning form missions. She the went to her house. And then visited room, where she went to sleep, as she didn't get a chance last few days.
Once she woke up, she was refreshed. She went to have a bath, and then she went to go have a breakfast. When she everything she, was ready to go to Hokage's tower. Mito knew that she would be questioned a lot of things, and she needed a night to prepare for everything.
Mito walked into the office, as soon as she was allowed into it, she had a clam demeanor around her. Minato looked at her as he spoke:" i heard that you were here yesterday, but i don't think that you visited me."
Mito shake her head :" that is correct, as I thought that our conversation is important, and i don't think that your tiredness would help us. I have many things to say, and most of them are only for your ears and those you trust. "
Minato nodded, as he signaled a signal that made everyone leave, except Shikaku who was in corner of the room. He was using a seal that made him invisible and impossible to sense. However Mito knew he was here. Because one simple thing. A shogi board was next to one chair. It was well hidden but, Mito was very observent and it caught her eye. She smiled and spoke :" Shikaku - sama, would you joins us."
She spoke as she took the seat, Hokage was confused, how did she know, and why did she seat, usually she perfered to stood there looking through the window. Mito smirked as she took out a cup of tea from the seal. She then looked at Minato and gave him a scroll. Saying :" those are bodies of bandits that i took out, 38 in total, however 3 are in different scroll, as i wish to talk about those later, in a different topic."
Shikaku didn't have a choice but to stop the seals and appear next to chair of his own. He asked :" is this the result of your training. " clearly refering on her sensor skills. However Mito shake her head :" no, this was based on deduction, as i saw your board for shogi."
Shikaku nodded his head :" i see, so how was your training trip."
Mito looked at Minato who was more curious about this than going through the scroll she gave him, she decided to answer honestly :" it was like i expected, not to difficult but the amount of space i needed was much more. I didn't have any problems with controlling Isobu."
Minato amd Shikaku smiled as they said :" that is great. So you are finally able to use it to full potential"
Mito nodded :" that is right. So shall we go on those bodies."
Minato nodded. And Mito spoke again :" so, well the first scroll is filled with bodies and is proof of my mission to council. And the second one, was something i would call as a experiment. I don't wish to revival this to council yet. "
Minato and Shikaku looked at the second scroll with interest. Mito then sighed :" alright i will open it and explain it to you. "
Mito did as she promised. The three bodies look intact, and they seemed pretty normal. Mito began :" Hokage-sama, you know that seal i was working before going to my mission. I kinda tested it on them."
Minato asked :" so you killed them with it. "
Mito shake her head :"the seal does not have that function. It's function is to protect."
Shikaku was slightly confused :" then it failed."
Mito again shake her head :" it is to protect their bloodlines."
Shikaku frowned :" and do they work."
Mito nodded, as she tried to pyll out an eye from one, but the seal began to glow up, and a force made her hand unable to reach tje eye and then it made her hand go backwards with some force. Mito smirked at the reactions that Minato and Shikaku were making.
Minato then sighed :" what do you plan to do with such seal."
Mito answered :" well for now, nothing, as i don't want it to be made public. For obvious reasons. But they do have a purpose. You may trying guessing."
Minato looked at her and then at thoughtful Shikaku. He didn't have a clue, a seal to protect bloodlines, well it was obviously for clans. But which ones."
Shikaku asked :" is it for royal clans."
Mito nodded :" well, yes, it is, however i planned for everyone to use it. However one royal clan is really the reason i made it. "
Shikaku nodded. Minato frowned, he was correct, but which clan would need something like this, Hyuga clan had already seal for this purpose.
Mito sipped her tea and then looked at him :" come on it isn't that hard. "
Shikaku nodded as he realized the answer.
Mito was displeased and looked at Shikaku :" and i thought that he would have an idea in morning, i geuss your thinking is getting dulled from all those papers. And not getting enough exercise. "
Minato looked offended. However Mito answered then the question she asked :" it is for Hyuga clan."
Minato was confused :" but don't they already have one. Why do you want give them another. "
Mito shake her head :" i didn't think thay you were that blind to the problem in hyuga clan, while it isn't villages business, it is still easy to see. The system of that clan is made for time long past. It doesn't suit either this time nor Konoha. "
Minato listened to her explanation.
Mito continued :" they fact that they have main and branch family, isn't that big of deal, as many clans have similar systems. However the fact that branch family can be controlled by main family, and can be killed by the seal, hurt by the seal, it isn't right. The seal is said to protect, but is most oftenly used to harm the branch family. What is more the main family isn't protected from stealing bloodline. "
Minato nodded as he understood :" so you are suggesting, removing those seals and giving them this new seal. However i dont think that would pass. "
Mito nodded :" yes, however i would give the same seal to Uchiha clan. As their eyes also need to be protected. Also i was thinking about speaking about this with clan heads on my free accord soon. However you are to know about my actions first. "
Minato nodded :" i see. You think that over time you will win them over. "
Mito nodded :" yes, that is correct, as there is no need to rush. "
Shikaku sighed and nodded :" that is a solid plan. "
Mito nodded :" thank you. "
Mito was then sipping her tea, getting ready to leave. However Minato spoke :" there is another thing i wish to ask, or rather speak with you. "
Mito looked confused at him, as she remained sitting down. She asked :" then go ahead." while she sounded confident, in reality she wasn't.
Minato nodded :" you didn't leave anything out of your report. "
Mito looked rather confused :" i didn't report anything thought, i just answered your questions."
Minato had troubled look on his face as he asked :" so you don't consider this a report."
Mito shake her head :" no, as my mission didn't require one, you never told me i should have written you one. As you said that it was a cover up. "
Minato sighed :" i geuss i did tell you that."
Mito then was about to stood up again but this time Shikaku spoke :" we still haven't asked you the question. "
Mito sighed and looked at them, slightly annoyed.
Minato gulped, he never saw her like this. And he usually didn't see her on her period, he heard that she was extremely scary on those days.
He asked :" did you meet anyone outside of your mission. "
Mito nodded :" yes i did, Utakata - san, i believe it was his name, a jinchuriki of 6 tails or Saiken."
Minato nodded :" yes him, i received a report from Mizukage, about thanking you for such a deed."
Mito was surprised :" honestly i didn't think he would go so soon there. However i am happy about this, as he was the easiest target i know about, among the jinchuriki."
Minato sighed :" at least warn us. "
Mito shrugged :" there is no need, as i have yet to meet with one of biju, the rest know what to do. And this jinchuriki is probably just a child. As i received informations about the sealing few years ago. "
Minato sighed :" even so, you aren't allowed to just go on yout own and do something crazy. "
Mito nodded :" fine, i will report daily when i am on missions. "
Minato nodded :" that is great. "
Mito nodded :" are we finished then. "
Shikaku nodded :" it seems like that."
Mito nodded as she said :" then i will come in 15 days for another mission"
She left and she heard :" troublesome," as she did.
She walked through the streets, and towards her home. She wasn't really in the mood for anything. But she summoned a toad, and gave it a four letters. She would rather do this today than tomorrow when her mood would be worse. It was first day of her period. And usually it was worst on her 3 day, the pain wasn't better at second day, but the 4 and 5 days were easy to go through. Mito got to her home and was ready to change her clothes, until she noticed that, out of 6 outfits she brought to her training 4 were ruined and not usable anymore. She had few training ones. But those could be destroyed just as easily, so she made a mental note to go to do some shopping tommorow. She then changed into outfit that she rarely used. A training outfit which was a gift from Minato. It was blue t shirt, and blue pants, the shirt had a ton of seals on it. And Mito used it rarely because of these. If she used them constantly, her training would be more hard and without any reson. However today she was planning a light spar against few people, and she needed to make it as hard as possible for her. In like 30 minutes she felt the chakra signals of the people she had written the messages for. She then headed towards them. As it was the day when she would train with the four devils, or futures of next generation as she sometimes called them. Itachi, Tenzo, Hana and Izumi. Mito appeared next to them as she spoke :" i am sorry for missing a training session with you guys. However i hope that you got a ton stronger."
The children said that she didn't need to apologize as she was sent on a mission, and that wasn't in her power. However Mito answered with :" actually they gave me a mission on my request, as i was getting pretty frustrated and pent up in the village. I don't think you guys can understand that though."
Itachi spoke :" we can't, but it is mostly because we were bond to this place since our birth, but you have seen the world and staying in one place can be hard for you. "
Mito nodded :" that is right, but enough talk, let's see how much you guys improved."
The fight was pretty intense as everyone was working together and combining their attacks. Mito was also slowed down by the seals. However she still could see they weak point, ir spots. She could still escape most of their attacks. She was surprised when she realized that everyone had learned they lections and were getting really strong. She smirked as she spoke :" it seems like you warmed me up." she then didn't show any mercy to them. The four of them had a tons of bruises and injuries by the end of session, however they also managed to get few hits in, as Mito had trouble dodging while she was attacking. She then proceeded to heal everyone. She smirked at them and spoke :" i will write everything you guys need to train for few weeks, and send it by my summon."
The children nodded and Mito smirked giving them some money :" go buy sone ice cream and have fun.".
Tenzo was the one to ask :" how about you, Mito - nee-chan."
Mito shake her head :" i have stomach pains, and i don't think i can eat it. "
That was a lie, she could eat it, however she would probably feel bad in the morning about it.
They went on their way. Mito smirked as she watched them go. She walked through the doors to her house and then to her room. Thinking what she could do today. It was around the noon now. But she was tired, more than usual, well it could be blamed on her period, she thought about it more. She then decided that after having a lunch she would go to the library, she didn't read for a while, and maybe she could find something interesting. Then there was also a secret stash of books under her bed. Nobody knew about those. They were hidden there. I wonder why.
Mito ate with the family, she considered them her family. Kushina was actually there two visiting with little Naruto. Who was sometimes super nice and calm and sometimes he was a monster of child. Evil incarnation. Like today, he was having a food fight with Karin, however unlike Karin he wasn't precise as she was. Well he was precise in managing to hit Mito every time. But was obvious that he was aming at Karin. Mito would blame Karin for a fight, if she didn't learn that Naruto would usually began those. While it was unusual for Karin to begin those it was understandable, she was under his influence. However that still annoyed Mito. She had to finish her meal super fast. However she was still hit more than 5 times. She just glared at the two for a second and the two stopped frozen in fear. Kushina and Suzume were trying the hardest to make the children stop, but were not successful until that glare. Both Uzumaki women froze, even they were afraid. Mito stood up from the table and tsked, walking towards doors to exit the house, clearly pissed up. She had to change and even shower one more time. She after calming down, went to library where she would spend the rest of day, she carefully entered the house for a dinner. She relaxed when she noticed that a plate of her food was waiting for her at kitchen. Suzume obviously knew that Mito wouldn't eat two times with barts, especially if she was on her period. Mito wasn't mean, but rather she was scary amd sometimes demanding on those days. It could be also that the hormones that were regularly being made, when she was in coma still haven't been ridden of.
