"Kaa-Chan I'm home and I brought a friend for dinner." Naruko loudly yelled as they walked into the Hokage's manor. A loud set of footsteps were heard as Mito ran into the hall. "Nii-San, how wa training?" "It was good I can now do a rasengan with a clone in five seconds dattebayo." "Aren't you her teammate?" Mito looked expectantly at him. "Yeah nice to meet you I'm Kou." He gave her a smile as she smiled back. "Oh so you're the one who makes the greatest bentos in existence?"
Kou looked over to Naruko quizzically, "They are really good." She laughed awkwardly trying to change the conversation, "So where's Kaa-Chan?" "She's out running errands." Mito grinned excitedly at him "Do you wanna spar we have our own training ground." "I don't think Kou wants to-" Naruko started trying to avoid destroying the training ground but was cut off by Kou. "Sure let's do it." He said before Mito grabbed them both by the arms and dragged towards the training ground. They walked out and Kou gaped it was easily bigger than training ground seven and had a stream, a mini forest, and a large field.
His tuned senses saved him as he heard a whistling of a kunai and shunshined away fast enough to avoid the one kunai that became forty. Mito watched disappointed until the bunshin faded away. She held out her arm and two chains rushed towards where she sensed his chakra until she felt it fade away again.
Kou concealed his chakra 'Maybe the one thing I did learn with chakra control.' and watched as Mito ran out into the field looking for him. Sensing a trap he hurled a kunai and shunshined away. He observed the chains shred his previous hiding spot before throwing smoke bombs all around Mito. He shunshined up into the air before seeing her run out towards the stream shunshined behind her and held a kunai to her neck. "It's over." She stared in shock before smiling back. "Okay you win. All this fighting made me hungry will you make me food Kou-Chan, please." "No aren't you gonna have dinner in a few hours." He said with finality Mito puffed out her cheeks and began to pout, "You don't have to be so mean." She did puppy dog eyes with small tears filling them up.
Kou finally blinked and sighed, "I guess I can make something light." "Yay you're the best a blonde blur tackled him, let's go come on Kou let's go, time to eat." She yelled excitedly as they were dragged by Naruko into the kitchen. "What are you gonna make." She said as she was bouncing up and down. "I dunno what's in the fridge?" He said as he opened and looked around. He sat Naruko and Mito down at a table 'Now I can actually work' and started washing his hands. He sliced, chopped, crushed, and minced. He worked for about five minutes. He stood up with a tray,brought it over to them, and watched as their jaws dropped.
"That sushi looks really good Kou-Chan." Naruko said before grabbing it and biting it followed quickly by Mito. Their eyes widened as they grinned, "Thanks Kou-Chan it's delicious." Mito said before grabbing another, Kou grabbed one and began nibbling while watching Naruko and Mito inhale the food.
He grabbed another before watching Mito and Naruko squabble over the last one until he decided to settle it. "Naruko you've had seven, Mito's had six give her the last one." She pouted but handed it over Mito who devoured it.
Smoke poofed and a loud voice sounded, "The great toad sage Jiraiya and slug princess have arrived." Kou saw a large white haired man in red robes and a busty blonde woman with green robes and a diamond on her head. "Pervy Sage." "Baa-Chan." Mito and Naruko gave them a hug, 'They look familiar where have I seen them.' As they both had tick marks on their heads, "I told you not to call me that." They both said at the same time. Remembering how they announced themselves it hit him 'These are the two still loyal Sannin of the leaf.'
"Kou-Chan come say hi." Naruko yelled before their attention shifted to him and he could see the imperceptible show of surprise in their face as he smiled and gave respectful nods towards them. "Nice to meet you Jiraiya-Sama and Tsunade-Sama." They both began laughing, "Finally a kid who shows respect." They smiled graciously at him. Mito having gotten a good look at his teeth asked a question they'd all probably wondered. "Kou-Chan why are your teeth pointy?" He stopped for a second taken aback by the question, "I don't know it just is like that, maybe my family was associated with Kiri." "Why don't you ask them?" Mito asked obliviously before anyone could stop her, "I'm an orphan so can't really ask." He replied with a dry laugh
Silence followed before Mito began apologizing profusely. "It's okay not having is better than losing." He said scratching his head awkwardly looking around hoping anyone would change the conversation. "So are you Naruko's teammate?" Tsunade asked and he thanked her silently, "Yeah I am." Jiraiya piped in as well, "Aren't the chunin exams soon?" "Yeah they're tomorrow can't wait." He said with a grin. "I'm home." a man's voice sounded as the the Fourth Hokage walked in and his eyes zeroed in on Kou in a second, before Kou could be killed Jiraiya saved him, "He's a teammate not a boyfriend." As Kou had been preparing to Shunshin relaxed. Minato laughed awkwardly, "Wait where's Sasuke." He said his eyes narrowed, "He was invited but he chose to spend it with his family." "Kou doesn't have a family." Mito blurted out, Minato's fave turned sympathetic.
They sat in the living room the adults discussing the treaties that they could form during the exams and the kids discussed their techniques and strategies as their conversations continued until Kushina appeared.
