Wave Country, the Land of Wave, The next day
"There's my pride and joy!" Tazuna said excitedly while pointing at the big bridge that connected the Land of Waves with the rest of the continent.
The rest of the journey hasn't had much even compared to the fight with the Akatsuki.
Of course some questions about the place itself were asked while walking, which Tazuna happily answered for everyone. When Menma asked about who they were protecting Tazuna from originally, the man said he would explain once they reached his home.
Team 13, Team 12 and Team 7 made it to Tazuna's house, passing by the many unfortunate people there, until they reached a two story house.
Opening the door is a woman with long dark blue-coloured hair. She wears a short-sleeved pink shirt with the end of the sleeves and the collar being red in colour. She also wears a long blue skirt.
"Dad, you're alright" The woman hugs Tazuna's , this must be Tazuna's daughter.
"I'm alright Tsunami" Tazuna said, hugging the woman back, Tsunami noticed the large shinobi group behind him.
"Oh this is the shinobi group you hired" Tsunami said, seeing how large the group is.
"Greetings ma'am, we're from Konoha" Kakashi greets her and the others wave hello.
"Ok come in" Tsunami welcomes them in, everyone coming into the building as Kushina gathers everyone at the table.
"Everyone gathers around" Kushina calls out, all the genin take their seats as does Tazuna and Tsunami as well.
"So who are we protecting you from?" Yūgao Uzuki asked him, making him sign.
"Ok, this name is Gato, the shipping magnate and founder of Gato Company, but that's just a front for his criminal ways, he isolated our land from the outside world, leading to the state you see it now, my bridge will stop us from relaying on Gato, enough to get out economy back up and away from him" Tazuna explains the importance of the bridge, seeing it he last hope for the country.
"So this Gato guy wants to destroy your bridge, let's head out and beat him up and save the day" Menma said, a perfect mission, go kill the bad guy and come back a hero, Kushina shakes her head at him.
"You will do no such thing, not with the akatsuki out there" Kushina said to him, not letting any of her children out of her sight.
"Right, not only do we have Zabuza to worry about but also the akatsuki" Kakashi looks gravely at this, aware of his sensei's family fears, Jiraiya told everyone about the akatsuki who are after the jinchuriki, and two of his sensei's children are one.
"Aaa..who's the akatsuki?" Sakura asked, she never heard of the akatsuki, making the Uzumaki family look at one another, the akatsuki was a kept secret.
"You might as well give them the basics Kushina-sama" Yūgao said giving her a message to give limited information on the akatsuki, she became aware of the akatsuki after getting one of the Hokage's children, Kushina nod.
"Ok, this must never leave the room, the akatsuki are a group of S-rank missing Nin, there are after secrets that is a part of my family, the Hokage's secrets, this criminals are after my babies for this secrets, that all you need to know" Kushina explains to them, not giving them all the details but enough to not be a threat.
"Should we be worried?" Tsunami asked, worried these criminals will attack them for their secrets.
"Not with us here, they won't attack when we are here" Kakashi states, but Yūgao shakes her head.
"We need to protect the clients Kakashi, Zabuza is still out there, we need to take shifts between here and the bridge" Yūgao said, knowing the client and the bridge need to be protected.
"Right, Kakashi, Yūgao and I shift between the bridge and this house, the rest of the teams will shift between guarding his house, the bridge and training" Kushina states, getting nods from the Jonin, turning to the genin.
"Team 7 will stay with Kakashi for training, start chakra walking at least" Kushina said, glaring at Kakashi, looking sheepish at the lack of training Team 7.
"Team 13 will help to patrol and guard the bridge," Yūgao said, getting a nod from team 13.
"Wait, what about us?!" Memna said, seeing the other teams getting training or guarding.
"You are not leaving my sight, the criminals are after you" Kushina states, not letting her kids leave her eyesight.
"WHAT?! Come on Mum, I trained for this, I can take them" Menma said, cuffed after being trained by the strongest shinobi in the leaf village.
"Not against Ken you fool, he will kill you" Satsuki said, scared of the same man that kill half her family, Sasuke held his sister's hand in comfort, Sakura tried to offer her support to Sasuke as well.
"I'll take that bastard no problem" Menma brags, ready for anything.
"You don't have enough balls to face the Cannibal dickless" Sai states, Menma glares at him.
"Keep talking, pale face and I'll show you how big my balls are" Menma said, but Kushina hit his head.
"No bad language young man" Kushina scowled her son, making him rub his head.
"Should we call for help?" Yakumo asked, scared about this mission now, making the Jonin think.
"I'll send a message, my husband should send back up" Kushina said, going to send a message to her husband for help, now the akatsuki are here.
"Then Naruto shouldn't leave," Mito said, looking at little concern for Naruto.
"And why's that?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Cause the akatsuki could hurt you to get to us" Mito explains, Kushina now turns to Naruto.
"Your sister right, Naruto you have to stay close to me" Kushina said, now worried for her oldest baby, Menma groans now that his brother is now closed.
"Nope," Naruto said, getting looks from everyone.
"Naruto-kun, didn't you hear about the akatsuki coming after you" Kakashi states, trying to get that fact to Naruto.
"I know, but they won't, I wasn't trained in the family secret so the akatsuki have no reason to be after me" Naruto states, making Kushina look sad at the mention of the lack of training, wishing she would train him.
"You can't, you're too weak" Mito states looking at her brother.
"Who cares, he's not worth it Mito" Menma waves her off, his brother isn't worth protecting.
"Maybe you should stay with them Naruto," Satsuki said, concerned with Naruto.
"Yeah" Yakumo said in agreement, Naruto shook his head.
"I agree with Kushina Naruto, I know you don't like it but for your protection, like it or not the akatsuki will still target you" Yūgao states, making Naruto sign.
"God dammit, fine fine" Naruto said, not caring at this point,
"Don't worry Naruto, it is a great time to spend with you family" Kakashi gives him an eye-smile, Naruto groans.
"Terrific" Naruto groans, knowing this is going to be a long mission.

Few days in Tazuna's house
Mito watches as Naruto walks away from the house, it been a few days since they arrived in Wave, Kakashi started to train Team 7 in chakra walking, from trees to water, Yūgao been patrolling the area with Team 12, guarding both Tazuna and his bridge.
Mito has been staying close to her mother as well as her brothers Menma and Naruto.
Right now her mother is teaching them uzumaki sealing, which Menma didn't get much of.
"This is boring, why am I learning this?" Menma complains, his hand drawing a seal, Sealing isn't his style.
"You have to learn this Menma, this seal could save your life" Kushina said, the new seal Kushina is teaching it a Paralysing Seal, once attached to a target will completely paralyse all movement unless removed.
A useful sealing but requires a high understanding of seals, only Uzumaki's and Seal masters can make these seals, but Menma struggles to learn the seal.
"This is boring, why can't I learn Jutsu instead?" Menma complains, rather learn hand-signs then write on a piece of paper.
"This seal is very useful brother, our father is famous for the raijin," Mito explains to him, she sees the benefits to the seal, especially against the Akatsuki.
Kushina signs before turning to Naruto drawing a seal.
"I know it is hard Naruto, if you want I can help you" Kushina asked, hoping to give him the support but he shakes his head.
"I'm already done," Naruto said, finishing his seal, to Kushina's shock.
"WHAT?!" Kushina said, seeing Naruto finish the seal, an exact copy of the one she made.
"How?" Kushina asked, getting Menma and Mito, they never knew Naruto could do sealing, they got the training from Minato, Kushina and Jiraiya, and they are still struggling with it.
"I have a lot of free time in prison," Naruto said, standing up.
"No way that seal's correct, you're still the same dead last, loser, this has to be fake" Menma scoffs at Naruto making the seal correctly, when he couldn't do it.
"Then this shouldn't work," Naruto said off-handedly, slapping the seal on Menma, making him freeze on contact.
"whatttt theeee heeelllllll?!" Menma tries to say, his body completely paralysed, Kushina went to help him.
"How did you do it? You were not trained in any sealing" Mito asked, eyes narrowing at her brother but Naruto shrugs.
"Beginner's luck," Naruto shrugs.
"Naruto, wait you need to" Kushina tries to call him but Naruto waves it off.
"I got two of those seals, if I get attacked I'll try not to dying while disgracing your names or anything" Naruto said, waving off her concern heading out as Kushina signs at her oldest son.
Mito also signs at her brother, thinking about him now.
Mito loves her family, even Menma despite being annoying at times, she hates it when he insults Naruto.
You might be confused why Mito acted the way she did towards Naruto if she cared about him a lot. The answer to that brought nothing but shame and regret to the red-head. It was definitely a decision that she had regretted ever since she was convinced to act so cold towards her brother, just like the rest of her family.
It was something that happened after hearing a conversation between her father and her perverted godfather, they spoke of the Akatsuki, a group of S-rank criminals going to hunt Jinchurikis in order to get the power of their Bijuus for who knows what reason. When Mito got older her father and perverted godfather told both her and Menma anyway.
However, hearing a group of criminals hunting down people like her deeply affected young Mito a lot, and she was seven when she heard it, it was definitely something that would rock her world a lot.
It was more than obvious that she didn't sleep very well that night,
No. It wasn't because of the fact that she couldn't sleep at all. In fact she actually fell asleep quite fast. No, it was because of what happened once he fell asleep. At first she thought it was just another nightmare, but such an event could not be described as a dream. It was the first time she met the Kyubi sealed inside of her.

Unknown Place, years ago
A seven-year-old Mito was nothing but confused and a little scared. Why? Because she had just gotten to sleep after hearing some shocking information that she was sure shouldn't have heard, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she found herself in one of the weirdest places she had ever been.
This place could be described as a long corridor, with completely white walls, ceiling and floor. The walls were divided in sections by silver pillars. In each section you could find a light ball just at the middle of it, illuminating the whole place. Just above each little light was the symbol of the Uzumaki clan. The whole place looked like it was made of marble.
Mito was more than confused at seeing this place, after all she had never been here in her life. How had she gotten here in the first place? Wasn't she in her house a few seconds ago?
For a moment she thought this might be another dream, but she scratched that possibility rather quickly, after all this place felt just too real, to be called a dream.
It was after walking for a few minutes that Mito found herself in front of something she wasn't expecting A cage. Said cage was as big as the room itself and it had completed black bars. Just at the middle of the cage was what looked like a piece of paper with something written on it that looked like the kanji for 'seal'
"So, my dear jailer finally decides to show herself in front of me" spoke a deep voice from the cage, almost making Mito to jump in surprise, just after hearing those words a big pair of red eyes appeared inside of the cage, followed by a set of razor teeth in the form of a big, menacing grin. Now while Mito was not a scary cat, this was still something that made her eyes widen in surprise in fear, after all she didn't have any idea of what this thing was.
Apparently, her young mind had decided to ignore the fact that there were bars between them.
"What happened little girl? Did the fox eat your tongue?" Spoke once again the weird being, chuckling quite darkly at seeing the little human to paralyze in fear. Meanwhile Mito was doing her best to try and calm herself to try to produce some words that weren't screams of panic.
It isn't working as much.
"W-who are y-you" asked the girl quite meekly, something that was not common for her, but considering the circumstance it was understandable. However, this question got nothing but a growl from the being behind the bars, making the young redhead a little more nervous than she already was.
"Great. The little runt doesn't even know who's sealed inside of her. Of all humans, that stupid Hokage could have sealed me inside if he had to do it to a dumb tomato girl that's about to piss herself. Why don't you use that head of yours and figure out by yourself, unless that's a task too hard for a hairless monkey like you" The monster said, his red eyes looking at Mito like she was nothing but a little ant that he would step on just for fun.
If only he could
It took a few moments for the words to register in Mito's mind, but when they did, she started putting everything together. The fact that she had fallen asleep just before coming here, this weird place, the big cage with the seal tag on and of course, the angry looking being in front of her.
"You're the... Kyubi" announced Mito, her voice barely above a whisper, but it was apparently high enough for the now revealed Kyubi to hear, considering how his grin became even wider.
"Well, it looks like there's still hope for you, you little dimwit. I can only hope you won't be a dumb as that other walking tomato bitch that you call mother was, god knows this world doesn't need more people like her going around." The Kyubi sID, his voice dripping nothing but malice. This time though, the different insults finally got to Mito's head, both these ones and the previous ones, and to say she was pissed off would be an understatement.
"You take that back!" Mito yelled, obviously not liking the different insults directed at her and her mother. Mito was not as hot-heated like Menma, but not even she could just stand there while someone like the Kyubi of all beings started insulting her family. The fear that Mito felt before was not replaced by both anger and confidence. That confidence was the result of her knowing that the Kyubi could not do anything to harm her because of the seal, which meant she was completely safe here.
Or so she hoped.
"Ohh, looks like the little runt here likes to bark. Please tell me little girl, what will you do if I don't? Yell at me until your lungs go without air. Let me tell you something little girl, I had the horrible pleasure of hearing your mother having you and making you with that blonde monkey you call a father, so at this point I'm immune to your Uzumaki bitche's screams and moans' ' the Kyubi mocked with disgust. That had to be one of the fox's more horrible experiences in his long life, having to hear his former jailer and her mate go at it like bunnies in heat. It was just his bad luck that the seal would become weak enough for him to hear and sometimes feel what Kushina was experiencing while mating. He didn't even think about how his first jailer was with that stupid Wood Release user.
She was worse!
Of course, that declaration made Mito blush completely red, making her face actually resemble a ripped tomato. She knew what the Kyubi was talking about, her mother had already given her 'The Talk'. Of course, she never imagined that this was going to be the theme of her first conversation with the bijuu sealed in her gut. The young girl shakes her head, trying to get rid of what the Kyubi just said and started taking some calming breaths, knowing that if she lost her temper the damn fox would just keep mocking her.
"Where are we anyway?" asked Mito, deciding to not let Kyubi get a raise from her. The young red-headed girl had an idea of where they were, but she wanted to get confirmation from the Kyubi, who just scoffed at hearing that question.
"And here I was thinking you had a brain, I guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes so high" cue for angry glare from Mito, although the Kyubi either didn't notice or didn't care.
"If you must know, this place is your subconscious," the Kyubi finished.
"But how did I end up here?" Mito asked herself; after all she knew that to enter once subconscious you needed a lot of practice in different arts,
"I called you," the Kyubi replied, getting a surprised expression from Mito. Just after that the powerful bijuu moved so that Mito could see his whole body, including the nine-tailed that gave him his name behind him. He was just as her mother and father had described him; the only difference was that his fur was brown instead of orange.
"And why would you do that? And how did you even manage to do something like that? Dad's seal shouldn't let you!" Mito asked, her eyes narrowed in suspicion. Of course, both her and her brother had tried to get in contact with the Kyubi before during training with their parents, but neither of them had managed to do it, so why would the Kyubi call her like this, it made no sense in her opinion.
"Well, let's just say that your inner turmoil left an opening in the seal, " the Kyubi answered, getting a shocked expression from Mito. Which wasn't completely true, the eight Trigram seal leaves little influences to the nine-tails, feeling his jailer distrust, he is able to call her in her mindscape, not to the seal itself, she had to find the cage herself.
Hearing there was an organization hunting Jinchurikis then he needed to make sure his jailer wasn't as weak as he believed she was, after all if she got caught it probably meant death for him.
And he wanted to live, even if he had to tolerate the stupid bitches of the Uzumaki clan.
"And about my reason to call you here, well I believe it's quite obvious at this point don't you think? Akatsuki" the Kyubi revealed, lowering his head so that it was at the same level of Mito's body, his red eyes looking directly at Mito's violet.
"Well? What are you going to do about the group of psycho ninjas you have on your tail, little girl?" the Kyubi asked his jailer.
"I'll face them of course. If they try to get me then I will train hard to be able to beat them! I won't let a group of criminals hurt my family just because of you!" Mito answered quite passionately; after all she wouldn't let anyone harm her family. She would protect them!
"Is that so? We'll let me be the one with the revelation then: at this rate you won't be strong enough to face them" the Kyubi informer told her.
"What do you mean by that? I know I'm not strong enough yet, but if I keep training I will..." Mito's speech was stopped because of the angry growl Kyubi made. Apparently the bijuu was not amused by Mito's word, and he would make it quite clear.
"Training? While I'll admit you might get strong enough if you train, there still one factor that's holding you down little girl, and we both know who is it: that useless older brother of yours" the Kyubi said, getting another shocked expression from Mito. Said expression went from shocked to one of complete rage quite fast though.
"Leave Naruto-Nii-san out of this! And don't you dare talk about him like that!" Mito screeched, a hateful glare directed at the Kyubi's eyes, who didn't even seem surprised by girls' reaction. He had looked at some of his jailer's thoughts and memories and he was tired of how almost all of them were centred on that brother of hers! She was borderline obsessed about him at this point! And there was no way the Kyubi would let this go, after all it was the only distraction that he could not let the girl had.
"You know I'm the right little girl. How are you supposed to get strong when you spend almost every second of your life thinking about that Naruto brother of yours? For Kami's sake, you even skip training sometimes with a lame excuse just to spend time with him! Well, that needs to end! My survival depends on you getting strong enough you little monkey, so I won't have you going all weak just because you have an obsession on your brother!" the Kyubi said with a snarl, both of his claws grabbing the bars of the cage tightly.
Meanwhile Mito became red-faced at hearing the Kyubi's rant; whether it was because of anger or embarrassment the Kyubi didn't know nor care.
"I'm not obsessed with him" Mito said, but that the Kyubi didn't believe her.
"And he needs me! He doesn't have anybody else in the family" ended Mito sadly with a downcasted look, Mito wasn't stupid, she knew that her brother was treated unfairly by both her parents and her other siblings. She had tried to change that by talking to her parents but whatever she said concerning Naruto always ended in deaf hears, to focus on her and her siblings, Menma wasn't helping at all, and she was trying to her Natsumi, but it was quite difficult.
In the end Mito had decided to do her best so that her brother felt at least some love in the family, which was the reason she spent a lot of time with him. She loved her Naruto-Nii-san deeply and seeing him sad because of their parents of Menma always brought sadness to her heart.
The Nine-tailed fox had decided to change his approach here. He should have known this girl cared too much for that Naruto monkey. But maybe he could use that to his advantage?
Wait, that could work.
"It seems you're not getting it in that thick skull that you call a head. Let me explain so that even an idiot like you can understand" getting another glare from the girl.
"This Akatsuki organisation won't stop at nothing to get to you. You know what that means? It means that they will do anything to catch you! I'm sure they are not above taking hostages..." the Kyubi said, and it only took a few seconds for Mito to understand what he meant by that, which got a gasp and a horrified expression from her. It made the Kyubi to chuckle mentally.
"It seems you're finally understanding the facts, little girl. Now while I'm sure that brother of yours who has my other half and your sister will be able to stand a chance considering that they are being trained by your parents, your other brother is a different case. He's being trained by no one. He will be an easy prey for the Akatsuki, especially if they know that by getting him, they would be able to get to you." the powerful Bijuu revealed, his eyes looking at how stricken Mito looked at the information she got.
Meanwhile the young girl was thinking about the words of the Kyubi. He was right, she thought. If there was really an organisation of S-class Nin hunting her and Menma then her family was in danger! And Naruto was, even though she hated to admit it, the easiest of them to capture. What could she do to protect him? She already tried to tell her parents to include Naruto in the training, but they always put him off, they don't understand he needs training too. What if something happened to her Nii-san because they were looking for her? She would never forgive herself if the Akatsuki got their hands on her dear brother. She wouldn't let them!
"If you want to protect your brother..."now as soon as the Kyubi said this he got Mito's full attention, and just like that the fox knew he had her on his claws.
"...then I have an idea" Kyubi got her attention.
"What is it!?" Mito knew she shouldn't be trusting someone like the Kyubi for this, but she could not think of anyone else. Her Nii-san was her most precious person and she would do anything to protect him!
"This is what you need to do..."
Even if it meant hurting him in the process.
LINE
Mito sighed sadly. Remembering that meeting and the fact that she had actually listened to the Kyubi always made her hate herself. Basically, the fox had told her that her family will always be targeted by the Akatsuki, and that the only way of protecting Naruto was to make sure he was as far away from his family as he could. For this the Kyubi had to tell her that, since she was the only one treating Naruto as a member of the family, if she started treating him badly too, he would, sooner or later, leave their family for good, which would make him safer.
Now of course Mito had protested, telling him that she would never hurt her brother on purpose. The Kyubi had replied by saying that if she truly cared about Naruto then she must be willing to do anything in order to protect him. He also told her that by doing this she would be able to focus on her training more, which would definitely help her in order to fight against the Akatsuki when they appear. The Kyubi also told her that if she went with his plan he would make it easier to use his chakra, so that she had a better chance at surviving it.
Mito didn't want to follow his plan, but after thinking about it she reached the conclusion that he was right. A part of her thought of training him personally, but the Kyubi cut the down quite fast, saying that it would take too much of her time and that she couldn't teach stuff she was barely learning herself, so in the end Mito had no choice but to accept the fox's proposal, which explains her change in behaviour towards Naruto when they were young.
Seeing her brother's safe face when she acted cold towards him was one of the things that hurt Mito the most, but she had to do it. If Naruto ended up separating from the family completely then that would make him safer, and that was what Mito wanted most than anything
When Naruto distances himself from the family, Mito maintains her training, getting her skills to the top in order to protect her family and her brother. When Mito saw him enter the Ninja academy she got scared.
Thinking Naruto would gain strength to be noticed by the Akatsuki, Mito and Menma are trained to fight them but not Naruto, so she joins in on the bullying on her brother Naruto.
Something she never wanted to do, but she had too, hoping to get him to quit being a ninja and stay safe in the village, hidden and safe.
He would hate her for it, it breaks her heart but she rather he hates her and lives longer.
But Naruto never stops, he took the bullying, the abuse and moved on, he took the punishment despite not being at fault, despite skipping classes Naruto proved a strong shinobi, whenever he fights it a one hit K.O.
At first Mito thought their parents finally started his training, but they didn't know his academy results until graduation. When she fought him in training, he avoided all her fights and when he did fight her, he knocked her out.
Mito doesn't know what to think when the Akatsuki appear before them, Mito was scared all she had done for Naruto to protect him was for nothing, only for them to leave before anything happened.
But that's not what the Kyubi said when he calls her last night,
LINE
Last night in Mito's Mindscape
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NARUTO SCARED THE AKATSUKI AWAY?!" Mito shouted at the fox, over time they talk every now and then, they don't like each other, but they are willing to speak after being stuck together for years now.
"It was your older brother that scared them away, not your mother" Kyubi states, looking at her as he gets ready for another rant from the girl.
"HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT WORK?!" Mito shouted at the fox, who shrugged in response.
"I don't know, your monkey brother talked to that other akatsuki bitch then she and that crazy Uchiha left, that Uchiha worse than Madara" Kyubi said, seeing the memory of the fight, seeing the crazy Uchiha laughing and that bitch talking to Naruto.
"What other bitch? Only the Cannibal was there" Mito points out, a red flag to Kyubi when he tries to break the genjutsu on his jailer, but only he could see her not his jailer.
"There was another woman with powerful genjutsu, not even I could have broken you out of it" Kyubi mentioned, scared that his jailer would be caught without her even knowing, afraid for himself then his jailer.
"Naruto can't know the akatsuki" Mito said to herself, it wasn't possible.
"I don't know what you brother can do, but it scared away those two, you need to stay close to him" Kyubi states, getting a really intense look from Mito.
Mito stares at the bijuu inside her, having taken his advice to distance herself from Naruto, bully him to give up being a shinobi, all because of him.
And he wants her to do that.
"I abandon my brother, because of you, I been cold to him, because of you, I try to get him to quit being a shinobi, BECAUSE OF YOUU" Mito shouts at the Bijuu, who only rolled his eyes at her.
"I didn't tell you to be cruel to him, that was all you" Kyubi points out, he is not taking credit for the abuse his jailor did to her brother.
"I WOULD NEVER DONE ANY OF IT IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU" Mito snarls at his cage, beyond pissed at the bijuu right now.
"Well you done it, so move on" Kyubi said, wanting to get his moving along, Mito grinds her teeth at the lack of reaction, how could he.
"FUCK YOU, you don't even care" Mito insult, turning her back to the fox, not listening to him anymore.
"Yes I don't care about you or your monkey brother, I care about myself, which means you need to stay close to him now or we are both screwed" Kyubi states to her, he never lied about his own opinion, only caring for himself.
He would rather stay in the seal, then be a part of whatever the Akatsuki want with him.
Better the devil you know and all that.
"What makes you think he wants to be anywhere near me, I'm a cold bitch to him, thanks to you, I doubt he cares if I was captured" Mito sadly said, her actions in the past making her brother hate her so much.
All for nothing now.
"Well I do, I don't know how you brother is so strong, but his chakra scared them away" Kyubi said, getting Mito attention, Kyubi never felt Naruto's chakra before, at first Kyubi thought Naruto got some of his own bijuu chakra, most likely from his mother.
But it didn't feel like his chakra, sure he felt malice, but he felt other things he never felt before.
Whatever he feels he knows it is strong, very strong.
"How did he get so strong?" Mito wonders, Mito always wonders how Naruto got soo strong to begin with, the strength, the speed, hell even sealing, and he scares the Akatsuki away, he couldn't have trained by himself to get this way.
"You need to find out how strong he is, it could make you stronger, maybe it will help fix whatever you did" Kyubi said, not really caring about her relationship with her brother, only for his own safety.
"You think so?" Mito asks him, the Kybui nods, he really doesn't understand humans and how they work, spend most of his life either sealed or controlled.
Flashback end

Mito signs as she watches the way her brother left, trying to find out how he got so strong, then earn his forgiveness.
She knows she has a long road ahead of her.
But she is an Uzumaki, and she will not quit, not matter what.
