also mito’s relationship to uzushio…raised for a political marriage i assume whether internal or external. perhaps this creates a cool kind of schrödinger’s loyalty situation in the mind of her father especially if she’s the only child which i like the idea of (she would hate and be baffled by hashirama and madara even more). if she stays in uzushio her brilliant mind needs to be optimized so that she may steadfastly serve her village. if she doesn’t stay there then whatever she knows can be utilized by the foreign village she’s sold to against it.
so because she is his one offspring but because of this dilemma her father alternates between shutting her out and throwing the weight of the village on her shoulders randomly. she grows up to be astute, disciplined, and competent; she’s instrumental in keeping things running, but frequently certain crucial information about the village and its state of affairs are kept from her and disseminated to those under her. which is miserable and humiliating for her.
once she’s sold to konoha, her father won’t allow her to come back, won’t tell her anything about how things are going, goes as far to tell hashirama more than her! he resents how much he wishes she could have stayed and taken over and punishes her for it. however hashirama who i think is a very shrewd delegator (lazy piece of shit) and obviously very emotionally attuned to others lets her in on shit because he can tell she’s grown desperately bitter and that her love for her home is being transformed into hate. which propels her to gleefully and adeptly fuck it over on behalf of konoha. her father could have never expected this because trusting a foreign wife makes no sense to him. anyway she is literally instrumental to her village’s decline as it’s used and discarded for konoha over and over :)
