Mito gave a satisfied sigh as she looked at the waddling figure of the blond boy and left her observation spot, which had been hidden by a barrier - despite getting rid of Fox and increasing her chakra control, it was difficult to hide her reserves, even with the technique, even from an inexperienced genin.
So far, the situation was playing out exactly as the First Hokage's ex-wife had hoped. Kushi-chan had gotten a good slap on the wrist and had reacted predictably to being smeared in the mud, but most importantly, she had learned a necessary life lesson and would not give away the clan's knowledge at the first request of her friends. Of course, much of the blame lies on Mito herself, who had mellowed after the loss of her children and almost all of her grandchildren, hence the solid indulgence of the minor ward, but it was all for the best. And knowledge...
Uzumaki are not exclusive monopolists on this branch of shinobi development, only the best and the same Hyuga have some basic knowledge, so the leakage of the initial level of textbooks and seals is not so terrible as Kushina-chan thinks, even if this knowledge and got to the lousy Danzo. Really important knowledge can't be obtained that easily, and certainly can't be taken out of the library without others thinking about it.
But it's a shame that this problem can't be dealt with drastically - the shadow the Hokage casts over Namikaze makes it hard to hold back, and if rumors are to be believed, one of the Sannin is thinking of taking the overly cunning brat on as an apprentice, rather than just being the team's mentor. No need to ruin her relationship with Hiruzen and his two broodmates for the sake of one genin, besides serving her plans as well.
Nodding to herself, Mito dispersed in puffs of smoke, and the creator of the kage bunshin (shadow clone) still in the Uzumaki home covered her eyes for a moment, digesting the memories she had received.
- Kushina acted as expected," the red-haired beauty grinned, "she should have been able to think a little more, instead of acting on her emotions....
However, Mito's conclusion from what had happened was that she could bring her mentee up to the level of an average Fuin master, but not higher. And the library should be well thinned before Kushina has full access. Even though a lot of really important knowledge of the clan is not there, but even what is there is enough for a really talented person to climb to a new level of mastery of the art of Fuin. Like Ryo-kun, for example.
A very talented boy, with his flaws, of course, but young shinobi Uzumaki have always been known for their affection and Konoha is full of evidence of their conquests and adventures even in the clans, not to mention the general population, so Ryo does not stand out here, especially in the absence of equally serious competitors, unlike Uzushiogakure himself.
And now that Kushi-chan's attention has been cleverly diverted to him, even the clan's famed stamina may be failing. Mito remembered herself as a young girl. And how Hashirami had crawled out of the bedroom after performing conjugal duty. That's why the bastard was running away, because he could barely satisfy his wife in bed. So he was confirmed by campaigns. However, all of this is a matter of bygone days, which is better not to remember.
