~Mito POV~
Mito who had just been going through a number of thoughts and was just about to begin her plans suddenly felt a massive chakra source that was flickering and growing sporadically. Without much thought she turned her thoughts towards what the system quest had said… 'that boy Soutarou's bloodline must be awakening… this feels awfully like Hashirama's chakra…'
Without much more hesitation she left the Senju Residence for the first time in many years and rushed towards the chakra pin pointing it with her Kagura's Mind Eye. What surprised her was the faces she saw in a standoff once she was inside. Her granddaughter, Tsunade, her grandniece, Kushina, Mikoto Uchiha, and another Uchiha girl. Without wasting time she let out her chakra pressure in its full might across the village in an attempt to disguise Soutarou's chakra spike. At the same time she let out a bit of Nine Tails Chakra to throw off the Third Hokage and his trio of goons. She looked at Tsunade, Kushina, Mikoto, and Naori who looked beyond bewildered and almost beyond disbelief and said, "Kushina. Little Uchiha Girls. Grab the boy, we're taking him to the Senju residence and locking it down. Tsunade go to Saru and tell the monkey that I had an accident when using the nine tails chakra to recover my vitality and lifeforce… and tell him to call a council meeting and more specifically tell him I'll be there in person. If he doesn't get the message then so be it."
All of them stared at Mito without moving before Mito's hair started floating upwards and she said, "I'll beat you all over the head if you don't start moving Dattebase (you know)!
Kushina uttered out a few words, "Grandma Mito… what happened to you?"
Mito glared at her and just snatched the boy and threw him over her shoulder and said, "We'll talk later since none of you have any urgency and are more worried about each other. I'll take him to the residence where you idiots can come at your own time. Tsuna! Kushina! You'd best be ready for a beating when we get home"
Without another word Mito's figure shimmered out of view as she left behind afterimages. Naori quick on the uptake grabbed Mikoto and Kushina's shoulders and body flickered after Mito. Leaving a mouth agape Tsunade behind to just stare at where Mito had been.
~Tsunade POV~
'That was totally Grandma Mito… but what the hell happened?! I could feel her vitality and lifeforce energy. She was easily back in her 20s! The only reason I know for sure that it was her, was that sinister chakra she realized and her chakra size and signature… Whatever, I'll just wait until Sensei gets here- Speak of the devil…'
Bursting through the door was a short middle aged man with brown hair and a brown stubble goatee and half a dozen anbu followed alongside Jiriaya. Soon after another a wall collapsed inward as Danzo and more than a dozen unmarked anbu broke through everyone tensely staring, before Hiruzen, the brown haired middle aged man spoke up, "Tsunade what happened here? What was that chakra spike? Why did I sense Lady Mito here?"
Tsunade without allowing for a gap or much thought lied through her teeth and said, "Kushina and I took Grandma out on a walk to meet this boy, Soutarou (gesturing to his house). Where we saw Naori and Mikoto Uchiha already present regardless we all just spent some time here, before Soutarou asked Grandma a question about why she didn't just take vitality chakra from the nine tails… the result was that chakra spike and Grandma becoming MUCH younger. She took everyone else to the Senju Manor to verify some things… Oh and Sensei Grandma told me to tell you that she wants you to call a council meeting and that she'll be there in person and that this incident wasn't something to worry about."
Hiruzen's eyes narrowed slightly and his eyes briefly met Danzo's eyes, conveying a quick message that Tsunade noticed, but didn't comment on.
Hiruzen smiled slightly and said, "Very well if that's what Lady Mito wishes for we'll be sure to release a public statement about weapons testing gone wrong."
Tsunade muttered out, "Thanks old man."
Hiruzen scowled and lightly reprimanded his student saying, "I don't even have grey hairs yet…"
Tsunade quickly said, "Old man I'll run home now, I don't want Grandma Mito to beat me.."
Hiruzen waved her off and waited until Tsunade left before ordering a certain white-silver haired anbu along with Jiraiya off to secure the perimeter.
Hiruzen spoke lightly, "Danzo I'll leave finding the real story to you."
Danzo snickered, "Hiruzen so you knew she was lying and you still did nothing about it."
Hiruzen just looked at him before saying, "I suspect that wasn't something Tsunade came up with, but rather something Lady Mito made… I don't intend to cross her…"
Danzo's face darkened, "Are you implying I should?"
Hiruzen simply shook his head before saying, "Find out what you can and bring me a report on Soutarou, I have a feeling he's tied to all of this… and investigate those two Uchiha… and be sure to come to the meeting."
Hiruzen simply glanced over Koharu and Homura and signaling them with his eyes to verify information Danzo brings while he handles Lady Mito.
~Naori, Mikoto, Mito, Kushina, Tsunade POV~
Tsunade walked into three girls sitting on knees with their hands on their laps, all of the hands were notably red and they looked like little kittens who had just crossed their mother and been dragged over there by the scruffs of their necks. Tsunade who began to realize what had happened suddenly felt a chill as a hand shot out grabbing Tsunade like she was a child and sat her down right next to Kushina before a bamboo stick thwacked her hand at an imperceptible speed. Mito's floating red hair and furrowed brows seemed to press down a god like pressure to which Tsunade quickly lowered her head and said, "G-grandma Mito."
"You told Monkey what I told you to say right?"
"Y-yes"
"Fine. Now tell me why all four of you were fighting when you can clearly tell that Soutarou needed to be taken with a chakra suppressant seal, yet instead you were all fighting each other. While it's not my place to judge your relationships, Tsuna you should have better control and understanding or have I not taught you well enough? I suppose I'll restart your lessons along with Kushina. Now Ms. Uchihas you'll be joining them both of you need to rein yourselves in. None of you get a choice. Purple hair stay back for a moment, the three of you go check on Soutarou… he's in my room Tsuna."
The three girls fumbled around for a moment before rushing out. Mito's eyes narrowed at Naori and she spoke softly but sternly, "So do tell why an Uchiha with a Mangekyo is pretending to be a normal person hanging around a 9 year old boy."
Naori unknowingly said, "He turned 10 yesterday…"
Realizing she had spoken out of turn. She covered her mouth and bowed her head a bit before chewing on her lip a bit.
Mito simply raised an eyebrow before saying, "Though that doesn't answer the question, it indirectly answers a question of mine. So tell me what your purpose is."
Naori looked around before saying, "H-how did you know lady mito?"
Mito cocked her head to the side a bit before an amused smile appeared on her face and she simply responded, "Little girl I watched Gods and Demons fight before you were even a thought. I know as much as Tobirama did about the sharingan and I know as much about the Mangekyo as Hashirama did. I can also sense how heavy your chakra is in yin, and only two people match or surpass that. Both possessed the Mangekyo, Izuna and Madara Uchiha though I must say your chakra is much more stable than either of theirs. Let me guess the boy is your stabilizing factor? What would you do if I harmed him?"
Naori's eyes shook a bit, before her three petaled flower form blossomed in her eyes her gaze suddenly became much, much colder as her chakra began to reveal itself.
Mito simply closed her eyes and raised her hand before saying, "Good. You answered my question through your actions… just protect Soutarou. I personally don't know him at all, but his chakra is almost the same as Hashirama's and the way his chakra was spiking I'd bet he's unlocked some sort of Kekkei Genkai, probably wood release. I'd prefer not to have another Madara, so I'll warn you now girl… protect him if you wish, but harm him and I'll ensure to deal with you before you reach Madara's level."
The two just stared at each other before Naori's sharingan deactivated and she took a step back and bowed her head slightly in Mito's direction.
Mito simply nodded saying, "You shouldn't use those eyes often or you'll go blind."
Naori nodded in response before saying, "Lady Mito, can we check on Soutarou now?"
Mito sighed thinking, 'This is why kunoichi in love are so hard to deal with… this girl probably doesn't even realize it. Nor does Tsunade. I think Kushina does and maybe that little girl. There's a reason nobles don't dare marry kunoichi… otherwise how could they have a harem? Poor little boy Soutarou.'
Mito then gestured her to follow where they found Tsunade hooking some sort of IV to Soutarou and jotting down some notes while Kushina and Mikoto just sat to the side with worried faces.
'Sigh… this is going to be a headache. So much work to do and I just got out of retirement… I truly understand why the Nara's are so lazy now… knowing more just means more to do…'
~Naori POV~
'Lady Mito… she's stronger than me… even if I used my eye techniques and even susanoo I'd doubt I'd win… so the wife of the First Hokage is also a goddess of shinobi? No wonder that blue screen ordered me to take Soutarou to her… it's… her power. Well I didn't get a chance to see what that was… it's not a genjutsu I just checked with my mangekyo… So what is this?'

'Hmm… how should I use my stat cards… system, is it possible for you to suggest the best use of my cards?'
[The system advises host to use all three cards on 'Physique' due to unique trait Mangekyo Sharingan (Lesser) the user's physique and mental power in a major imbalance leading to a somewhat subpar amount of chakra compared to the User's power output.]
'Alright go ahead, use all three cards on my physique.'

'M-my Chakra? T-this! I can feel it it increased by about 20%? So this isn't an illusion'
At the same time Mito felt a bit of sweat forming on her forehead as she saw Naori just staring at Soutarou and feeling her chakra notably increase and change in feel as if her imbalance of Yin and Yang chakra was dissipating. Mito thought to herself, 'Truly the clan of love… to think just looking at him is increasing her chakra… this girl is someone who has to be monitored… I used to think Tobirama was a bit ridiculous in his methods, but now I truly understand… a clan like this gaining power from just looking at your loved ones is too uncontrollable… no wonder Madara turned out like he did without Izuna…'
Naori who felt Mito's gaze immediately hid her chakra as best as she could before pulling up her status again.

She flexed her fingers as she felt her body imbued with new found strength as she lamented about how absurd this truly was, her eyes gleamed at the system with a new found light, 'With this power… I won't let a repeat of Chiharu happen… I'll protect you Soutarou.'
Mito on the side was truly beginning to worry as she saw Naori's tense and somewhat insane gaze on Soutarou. Mito turned her head away before walking out of the room and deciding to focus on finding more information on Danzo and Hiruzen's schemes as well as preparing for the council meeting.
***Author Note: I know we aren't seeing Soutarou's POV, but again the first few chapters of every novel/fanfic should always be the building blocks. As you can probably tell, Soutarou is not going to have an easy time and I don't intend to make it easy for him either. I might not even have a harem ending so keep that in mind! The Kunoichi will have a much faster route to growth than Soutarou will as an FYI and this is intentional. By about chapter 25~ we'll have more of Souta POV. The next chapters are how this AU is developing and how the plot line will completely divulge and diverge from canon. There will be OC characters, there will be some things from Boruto or at least one character, but there won't be any Otsutsuki nonsense. Kaguya is the last Otsutsuki. No multiverse nonsense, but filler episodes and movies may be utilized. Stay tuned for now!***
