The Prodigy Namikaze by SoulReaperCrewe

Chapter 27

Mito Namikaze was not a happy camper.

Not one bit.

Her family were dining at the Akimichi barbeque for the evening, a suggestion Minato had made since they had all had Ichiraku Ramen the day before. It had been 2 days after her siblings had returned from Wave Country after Eiji's supposed C rank mission had changed into an A ranked mission and got to face off against a world renown shinobi and his apprentice. She had watched for day's as her mother paced around their home waiting for the news that her youngest son had returned to the village and had a shadow clone keeping look out over all four of the gates.

By then Mikoto Uchiha had joined her and the two family matriarchs had not been the most pleasant of women to be around. Even after Minato had informed them that Team 7 had survived an encounter with Zabuza Mamochi and got to Wave safely it had not dampened their worry. When they were told Naruto, Yugao and Hayate had gone as well they felt a breath of relief but their worry remained. Their youngest son's who had only been genin for 3 months were facing a shinobi of an A Ranked caliber.

Mito while being worried about her twin brother couldn't help but feel green with envy and made sure to hide it since her parents didn't need more problems. Her poor father was already sleeping on the couch. Not only that but since Eiji had come home Kushina had been keeping a very close eye on him, making sure there were no after effects from the mission. She wanted to know everything that had happened on that mission.

Mikoto had been the same. Despite anything he tried to say, Mikoto would not let Sasuke out of her sight or out of the clan compound other then for team meetings and training. It was annoying the boy and had tried to set his mother straight which led to a long argument between mother and son. Eventually Itachi had to step in since he and Shizuka could hear them from the Uchiha training grounds. He had calmed Mikoto down, who in turn sent Sasuke to his room while placing seals around his room the make sure he didn't try to leave for midnight training sessions.

The mother and youngest son were not on the greatest of terms right now with Sasuke avoiding Mikoto.

But Mito couldn't help but think how lucky they were to have experienced a mission like they did. Battling powerful shinobi and saving an entire country? It was like something out of a fairy tale. To say she was jealous was putting it very mildly.

"It's still not fair." Mito chorded as she bit into a piece of her barbecue ribs, ripping the meat straight off the bone and not caring about the mess it was making around her mouth. "Eiji got to go on one. Why can't I?"

Minato groaned as he enjoyed his meal really wanting to put the negative feelings to rest over the Wave mission incident. Kushina had only just let him back into their room the night before. He really didn't want to go back on the couch since it wasn't great for his back. He'd never admit it thought since he didn't want people to start calling him old.

"Mito you know why. It was a mistake on my part and Kakashi's. I should have delved deeper into Tazuna-san's request and I definitely shouldn't have allowed Team 7 to continue with the mission. It was a mistake on my part and it's a mistake I hope to never make again." Minato informed getting a stern look from Kushina as well as a nod.

"A mistake that could have gotten your brother killed Mito." Kushina reminded as she wiped Mina's face with a napkin, getting an irked look from the ten year old. She wasn't five anymore. "If it wasn't for Naruto being on the delivery mission to Kiri and getting to Wave then the mission could have taken a very bad turn, one that results in someone's death."

"But you'll be with us Kaa-chan and you're even stronger then Kakashi" Mito reasoned. "Which means it's even more unlikely that anything will happen to us."
