The two previous Hokage had just stepped past the gates, following Naruto and Jiraiya who had taken the lead, when they were stopped by a shout.
"Hashirama!" Hashirama stiffened, and slowly turned back to the village. His beautiful wife was stalking towards them, anger rolling off her in waves.
"M-Mito-chan!" Hashirama laughed nervously. They had spent a lot of the past three days since the invasion 'catching up' in private. Mito had holed herself up in one of the empty rooms in Naruto's apartment complexes, tinkering with several seals to see if she could bring herself back to life. Hashirama gulped as the redhead neared.
"Hashirama! I spend a few hours making seals and you decide that you can just take off on a mission and not alert me! I should have you cas-" Hashirama cut her off before she could finish her sentence.
"MITO! I'm going to see Tsu-chan! You should come too!" The anger surrounding Mito vanished in an instant.
"Tsu-chan? You mean Tsunade-chan?" Hashirama nodded. "Hmm." Mito made a thinking pose, her hand under her chin, and thought for a few moments. "Yes. I shall come along. I can tinker with my seals anywhere, after all. Perhaps on the road I will get inspiration." She nodded sagely to herself and smirked at Hashirama. "Well Hashi-kun, let's go!" She strutted past him.
"Ah, wait, Mito-chan! There's someone I'd like to introduce you to!" Hashirama said, dashing towards Jiraiya and Naruto. Said duo stared at him, Naruto with confusion and Jiraiya with a raised eyebrow. "Sorry Jiraiya, I'm borrowing Naruto, kay?" Without waiting for a response, he grabbed the blond's hand and started dragging him back to his wife.
"Dear, who is this?" Mito asked, staring down at Naruto. "He looks familiar, the way his cheeks are so full... he almost looks like Ku-" Hashirama slapped a hand to her mouth.
"Shh-shh! Mito-chan, that's a secret for now! Not so close to the village!" Hashirama whispered, so Naruto didn't hear, before beckoning the young man forward. "This is Uzumaki Naruto. Naruto, this is my wife, Uzumaki Mito." Naruto and Mito blinked, before exclaiming, in unison,
"EEEEEEH?!"
A/N: Yes, I know, it's short, but I'm having a bit of a block writing the Madara meets Itachi chapter, which should be out either tomorrow or the day after. Sorry it's late too, I haven't had much access to a computer for the past month, and my internet connection is faulty. But that's all fixed now, so hopefully more updates quicker!
