As long as you can be allowed to run this mission, I won't mind being a part of this. Also, you're going to have to help me convince Fugaku..."

Mikoto smiles just a bit incredelously at her own words, knowing that her husband probably wouldn't be too pleased to her that his wife was being employed on another ninja quest of some sort. Scratch that, he would most likely out right refuse, for her sake, which she knew at least was reasonable. She tilts her head at Kushina, "I don't suppose you still have some blackmail on Fugaku hidden somewhere?"
