Mito was sitting down with Nara Shikaku oposite of her, her hands moved with no thoughts. She knew exactly what she was playing for the first move. Shikaku was more focused on her expressions and her troubled mind, she was obviously under a ton of stress. But he wanted to help her and to do that he needs to know what was that troubled her.
So he was slowly asking the question :" so what kind of response did Uchiha clan give you."
Mito answered without thinking :" i know that Fugaku understood me, and my intentions however the response that he predicted hurt my feelings more than my political view."
Shikaku frowned :" your emotions, did he say something rude. ".
Mito moved a pawn, she then spoke slowly :" you could say so, the words weren't nice, "
Shikaku nodded, seeing that the trouble he was on shogi board, he made an error, but it wasn't over just yet. He moved a piece that Mito obviously wasn't paying any attention to. And it solved his problems for a few moves. He asked :" you know that politicians don't care about emotions."
Mito smirked :" of course, that is why i am one as well, however the words that were spoken were too unfair, to me to the Uzumaki clan, they don't know what they are talking but still they are making fuss. "
Shikaku looked worried, did they say something that could break the alliance between the two clans. He should thread carefully around this topic :" so, the were absolutely against it, or Fugaku assume they will be. "
Mito nodded :" well, not in those words, but i will need to convince that this seal will not trap them for whole life. Unlike some other seals." Mito then froze, she spoke that without even realizing, she made a error she showed a weakness, a hole in her facede she was using for years. She turned around not facing him, thinking what she should do now.
Shikaku saw right through that crack in the facade, Mito was vulnerable, even more than he thought she was, she experienced how the unfair the world was, but she still didn't accept that, well nobody can accept that, the thing was that there was something that was broken in her. He didn't know why, was it because the revenge she spoke few years ago, even though it was obvious that was a lie. Why was she hurt with that seal she wears, the Uzumaki wear. Was it because she didn't want it, but then why did she do it.
Mito sighed softly as she finally faced the man, and made a move ending the game. She spoke :" please forget about this."
The facede was back on, he wouldn't know if it didn't break just a minute ago.
They began the next game it was more quiet as Mito was now more focused on the moves that Shikaku was making.
Shikaku then changed the topic to Hyuga :" so what did Hyuga say."
Mito answered :" they actually asnwerd as i have predicted, they immediately shut down the offer, i ended scaring them with."
Shikaku nodded interested :" with what."
Mito looked away :" with false prophecy. Well I don't know how false it is actually, but i am pretty sure that it won't happen. "
Shikaku nodded :" i see so you lied. "
Mito shake her head :" if everything goes wrong for Hyuga clan, the child that i saw will seek the destruction of the Hyuga clan, or at least the change. Which could end with blood on Hyuga clan, i did say that would support the child too. As that is my role in every prophecy. I am to protect and then to prepare them for thier mission. "
Shikaku nodded, then looked at the board the situation was more even then before. Mito was the first one to speak :" what are your thoughts on the seal. "
Shikaku nodded as he answered :" if the seal doesn't have anything bad about it, i think that it will be useful."
Mito nodded :"that is true, however does the clan think the same thing."
Shikaku nodded :" Nara clan, takes everything just to be safe and not have to worry about troublesome things."
Mito nodded :" that is why i wish i was born as a Nara."
Shikaku laughed at that :" i can adopt you, you aren't still 18."
Mito smirked :" yes, only problem is that i am a Ninja, and that i am a princess for a other clan. "
Shikaku nodded :" what a shame."
Mito nodded :" so, anyways, please do inform me when your clan makes a choice or decision. "
Shikaku asked :" i have one question, is that seal is it visible. "
Mito answered :" it can be if the person wants it, but only byakugan can see it. "
Shikaku nodded :" i see, then please write me down the effects of the seal, and that will that. "
Mito nodded asking :" do you have a pen. "
Shikaku spoke slightly louder :" Yoshino, can you please bring the pen and some paper. "
Yoshino appeared in a minute, and she gave the paper to Shikaku who handled it to Mito. Mito used it for a minute, writing down all the effects of the seal. She then stood uo and said :" i must go now, a have class to teach. I will visit you in few days. However i hope that the reason will not be the same as today's."
She then bowed and left.
It was still early for the class but Mito was a little tired out, she was going to rest for few hours and read the report that Tamura left for her, about where they were exactly in the lectures. When she found out that they didn't really went to far she felt relieved as she had to share something easy that would be explained easily.
When 4 man come when she was at the lecture room, she looked at them, she didn't recognize them from any Naruto scene she could remember, she knew that she didn't really remember much of side characters, but she had a feeling that she didn't really need to worry about who they were. She taught them, and they seemed to understand everything rather well. She eventually asked :" so what do you guys plan with the seals."
The shortest and the most lively man of them spoke :" we plan to grow stronger and to protect the village."
Mito nodded, she wasn't that impressed, the will of fire, she didn't really understand that, she however could always pretend to have it, she didn't know how everyone else. Thought as she was the will of fire herself. But she wouldn't question that, yes there is something in fighting together and in having precious people, however there are also things that are needed to be done alone. The weight of the world that she is still holding on her own. Mito nodded to them and then ended the lecture.
It was kinda late, however Mito still went to stretch herself and have some light training. She needed to take her mind from the everything. She had 6 days to meet with most of the clans, and then she would go on a mission, she sighed. There would be a ton of work for her, she does have a training session with the future generations too. And she could just write the letters to smaller clans, but she would need to deliver the letters herself. Well luckily the process would be long and the clans did have a lot of time to think about it. And Mito needed to just convince main clans.
Mito didn't want to be alone on the training grounds, so she took out Jisoo, then she took out the crown from her scroll, Lisa immediately appeared, she gave Lisa a kunai, or to say Jennie, she was wearing Rosé. She spoke :" since we didn't talk in a long time how about a spar."
Lisa was little scared :" i mean we can, but aren't i at the disadvantage."
Mito nodded :" how so, i am tired out."
Lisa waa looking at her :" even if you were beaten down i would have a no chance against you., "
Mito smirked :" but you do have better control of Jennie than i do,. "
Lisa seeing that there was no way they could talk about this rushed at Mito. She used Jennie as a distraction. Mito had to both block and dodge at the same time. While Lisa couldn't physically get stronger, she would get better at strategy, that was the thing Mito wanted the most. Lisa couldn't be physically hurt, but still she could physically hit you, there were ways to defeat her without trapping her crown even though that was the easiest way. When Mito wouldn't ba able to defend herself, Rosé would activate ans make a barrier around them in no time. Mito learned over time that Rosé wouldn't help into fighting as she was more of defensive type artifact, Lisa was both, and Jennie and Jisoo were more offensive.
Mito nodded when it was enough. She was tired out as much as Lisa was. Lisa had a problem that she could only last around 40 minutes, but that was enough. Jisoo was a perfect sword and she wouldn't change a thing about it, Mito liked it a lot more as its spirit was lively, a living chaotic baby, she would say, but she found out from Lisa that Jisoo was the oldest artifact there. Jennie and Rosé were more quiet and would only talk with Mito when she would go to speak with them, Lisa could talk all the time, and Jisoo would talk a lot when she was in super duper mood, which wasn't rare.
Mito eventually went to sleep and slept easily. She woke up, and knew who were her next targets, she should speak with Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans first then she should speak to Inzunaka clan, and then maybe speak with Aburame, Senju clan and with that the major clans would be dealt with. Right.
Well it would be fine if those clans just say yes we will think about it, as she knows that they can't possibly have anything against those.
The day went a lot better than yesterday, it was actually better than her expectations as Izunaka clan just said yes, as they already knew of the bloodline seal, even though they didn't know the details they accepted, so Mito had to explain the effects after the acception, Tsume was rather protective of her clan expacialy after the case of the poisoning of the ninkens. The next clan was Aburame, who said yes as long as the seal doesn't casuse any damage to their insects. Mito nodded asking if it would problem if she would make a simple test. She used a scroll and open the body, she asked for a Aburame insect to come close. She stopped it when it came around just close enough to the seal. The insect didn't react at all. Which seemed that the seal didn't have any kind of disturbing element to them.
Inoichi was slightly surprised to see Mito, but was happy to hear that she was here for different reason, he said that they, Yamanaka clan, would need to talk about it more but he thinks that they will accept it.
Akimichi had a similar response. And Tsunade had nodded :" well at least someone is trying to protect us."
She was still pissed that Danzo had successfully done unthinkable and robbed her grandfathers tomb. So Mito easily got her permission, as she was only clan head that had no elders to bother her. She was recently accepted into the council, as she was a clan head of known clan, Shizune would have to take care of children more but that was fine with both of them.
Uzumaki clan had also managed to grab a spot in council, however Tamura was the one that went there, so Mito wasn't that familiar with the political atmosphere, she knew what she needed to know, and she did not pry to much.
Seeing that she was done with this, Mito went back home, where she would write the letters for each clan, even though she had plenty time, she didn't know the schedule of smaller clans or if they even had one. She borrowed a book from Konoha library, it was titled clans of Konoha. Mito then slowly spent time writing the letter to each of clans. She had to write down the address of each clans house and she would need to find those that had obviously changed, but she had time. When she was halfway done she noticed that it was time, for next generation to come to her. She sighed, well it seems she would finish this tommorow and then she would go walking like a freak through the village. Or maybe she could use some shadow clones to make it easier. Well yeah, but that won't complete solve her problems, but whatever.
Mito walked out the house, to see that her students were already waiting for her, stretching. Mito nodded to herself as she spoke :" i see, today shall we have a little spar, you guys against me. I promise i won't hold back."
Itachi and Tenzo froze seeing Mito having her evil smile. Hana was a little scared, but Izumi returned the same smile saying :" sure."
Mito liked that about the girl.
Mito spoke :" then show me everything you guys have, no need to just use things i thought you. Even clan arts are allowed."
Mito knew that she wouldn't be using her full strength, but she needed to find how strong they really were.
Mito steped first and nodded to others. She expected that at least one of them would attack and that others would jump back in the forest behind them, however all of them jumped back, Mito just smirked, slightly amused, she jumped to follow them. The first thing she both noticed and sensed was Tenzo using his wood release, she had to dodge it, however it seemed like Tenzo had planned everything, even where she woul want to land. As more of branches appeared. Mito decided that she wouldn't even try to dodge this. She let herself get captured, her hands making a hand seals at rapidly pace, she noticed that only Tenzo had stopped moving, so that meant the others weren't close and he was the one to fight her first, foolish, as they left him alone. Mito used water gun jutsu, shooting bullets of high pressured water, she controled them so that they would go straight for Tenzo. Mito was free from the branches that previously captured her, Tenzo was dodging like crazy, he didn't have any other choice as if any of thise bullets had actually hit him he would been injured and wouldn't be able to continue the fight. Mito smirked as she then took out Jisoo. She run at him with full speed. But just as she was about to reach him, a crow appeared in front of the two. Mito immediately closed her eyes, and started to follow the location of both Itachi and Tenzo, Tenzo wasin her reach, but Itachi was keeping this summon, nad it could cause her more damage than Tenzo could but then also there was possiblty that Itachi was making a trap. Hana and Izumi were close to him too. So Mito decided to chase after Tenzo. She managed to open one eye, she could see that the crow was still trying to get in her line of vision but she knew better. Mito then took out the crown and put it on her head, Tenzo was confused as to from where did the crown appeared. Mito smirked as she said :" Lisa could you get rid of that annoying bird."
Lisa appeared next to her and nodded :" of course, i assume you don't want her dead."
Mito nodded :" just distract her for time being, i need to finish someone."
Lisa was the jumping towards the crow, and Lisa created a small seal which immediately activated, she spoke then :" this should be fine right, it can't move as long as it is in my sight."
Mito nodded :" that is great, just stay there, i need to teach the brats the hard reality."
Mito then in a second appeared next to Tenzo. A taijutsu spar began, Mito was faster and made sure that every hit would hurt. Suddenly she noticed that tenzo6had learned to use a hand seals while he was doing hand to hand combat. A tree branch wrapped itself around Mitos legs. Mito used her own wood style to take control, however Tenzo by now was more knowledgeable and with more experience with the wood style easily overpowered Mitos wood style chakra. He took the weapon, the one that was blessed by red goddess. And started to attack Mito, Mito cursed she didn't have a chance to dodge and the attack was rather fast. She sighed as she took out Jennie, however it was to slow as the weapon was just about to touch her skin. Mito then smirked as Rosé activated. The seal glowed, and the weapon was stuck, the barrier was not strong to complety stop the attack but it was strong enough to stop it in middle off the barrier.
Mito smirked as she spoke:"meet Rosé. And know pain."
Suddenly Jennie moved on its own, Tenzo had just enough time to block the attack with the branch of tree. However Jennie wasn't stuck it began attacking and Tenzo didn't have choice but to run. He substituted with a tree log and started to run to others. Mito meanwhile, cut the branches that made her movements unusable. She cut them off and sighed . The weapon that Tenzo uses was still stuck in invisible barrier in front of her. Mito leaned backwards and Rosé let the barrier down. The weapon fell down and Mito was unharmed. Her clothes did have few holes.
