3rd Person Pov-

It's been a eight days since Tatsuya And Mikasa 'visited' the Anbu Headquarters. Although there's been no news about war, both the Leaf and the Sand are getting tense as a lot of their Shinobis have been killed during the past week.

The news about the attack on Roran spread quickly, but the Shinobi villages didn't pay much attention to it. As far as they are concerned, it's their internal matter. The only important thing was that the two attackers were flying. In this era, only Onoki can fly. So rumours were going around that it was the Stone village that attacked a civilian country. It caused Onoki endless trouble. Be it the pressure from other villages or the Earth Daimyō.

The days passed just fine for both Mikasa and Tatsuya, they showed Pakura and Hikari around the village. Pakura also killed some Shinobi from both villages so that she could get used to it. The dinner that Akito invited Tatsuya and Hayate for was also cancelled, Hayate got real busy ever since the news of Leaf shinobi getting killed came.

Pakura also decided to go and take over her life in the Sand village. Mikasa also gave Pakura some important memories from the clone she created, the imposter living in the Sand. The first thing Pakura did was to report to the Kazekage about her Kekkei Genkai so that she'll be allowed to participate in the war on the front lines. The Shadow Clone that replaced Pakura was a High-level Chunin, so it won't be strange that her fighting powers increased with the awakening of her Kekkei Genkai.

While they were at it, Mikasa also exchanged all the explosive tags that the Sand village had in their warehouse with the ones made by her. Since her eyes require her to kill people if she wants to evolve them, it's better to use the war both ways. She did the same within the Leaf. If an explosive tag made by her kills someone, no matter who used it, it'll be counted as her kill.

Meanwhile, Hikari decided to stay in Konoha during this war. As for her responsibilities as the Mizukage's secretary? She said that she blackmailed- no, she explained to the Mizukage that it's very hard to hide the fact about his visits to other women from his wife, the Mizukage agreed on her having a vacation as long as something big doesn't happen in the village. She decided to leave a clone within the Mist village just to keep up the appearance of her visiting Hito regularly. Both the Hito on his deathbed and Hikari who visits him regularly are clones.

Tatsuya and Mikasa didn't mind her staying, her housekeeping and cooking skills were way too good for them to refuse. She made the empty mansion into a proper house within a few days. Both Mikasa and Tatsuya weren't able to recognize the place where they've been living since they were five. When they first teleported back, they thought that something went wrong with the teleportation. If she had a skill for it, it'll be [Maid(SSS)].

On the other hand, the atmosphere within the Hokage's office was very tense, no one in the meeting room said anything. They received a report from the spy they placed in the Sand that they were preparing for an attack against the Leaf.

This news, along with the deaths of several shinobi in the past week, was too much for them.

"Anbu," Shikado said as an Anbu appeared in the corner of the room, "Call Tatsuya and Mikasa here."

The Anbu looked at the Hokage, seeing the latter nod, the Anbu disappeared. Although Shikado's status was very high, he still needed the Hokage's permission to order Anbu around. Unless it's an emergency.

Mikasa and Tatsuya were lying on the ground next to each other along with Hikari sitting on the bed.

"I wonder when they'll call us," Tatsuya said in a bored tone.

"They should've got the news about the Sand preparing for an attack." Mikasa continued.

"How many people do you need to kill so that your Sharingan evolves?" Tatsuya asked.

"After what we did to Roran? Two thousand at max," Mikasa replied without thinking about it much.

"Can't you just nuke the whole Sand village with paper bombs?" Tatsuya asked, somewhat curious.

"I probably can, but the bombs must be my own. And that strategy is for the Rinnegan." She answered.

Hikari was doing her best to ignore the fact that these two were talking about destroying one of the five great shinobi villages so casually. She didn't doubt them anymore after she saw them creating a war between two villages without any trouble. And what's with the 'Rinnegan' stuff?

Pakura told Hikari about what happened to her in the Sand village, so it was understandable why she hated the Sand village. What Hikari didn't get was why Tatsuya and Mikasa don't seem to have any sort of feelings for the Leaf village? From what she observed, their status in the village wasn't low, it was even comparable to the higher-ups, even their families treated them well. So why?

"Why are you looking at us like a pervert?" Mikasa asked as she moved her neck to get a better look at the perverted maid.

Hikari blushed a little before turning away. She wasn't into kids, although she wouldn't mind if it was Tatsuya or Mikasa messing with her. Even if she was a pervert, she won't admit it until they 'make' her admit it. She was wondering how they'll bully her after growing up.

Both Tatsuya and Mikasa naturally knew what the pervert was thinking about but decided to play with her later. While Hikari was busy with her fantasies, Mikasa and Tatsuya teleported. They sensed someone entering the 'No spy' seal. They already knew who it was so they were pretty happy that it finally started.

"What is it?" Tatsuya asked the Anbu.

"Shikado-sama has summoned Tatsuya-san and Mikasa-san to the Hokage's office." The Anbu said before disappearing.

"It finally started," Mikasa said with a smile.

"Yeah, there's only one step left for the start of the war."

Both of them teleported inside the Hokage's office. They were greeted by all the familiar faces.

The mission they were given was just as they expected. It was to check up on the Sand village. After all, who else is better for this job than some kids who can teleport? This was also the last part of their plan.

After they confirm the fact that the Sand is indeed preparing for a large scale attack, the village will definitely deploy a lot of shinobi for the war so that they can get an advantage over the Sand.

Even if the Kazekage was having second thoughts about a war, he'll have no choice but to fight at that time. As for the Hokage? Danzo and the other two are more than enough to force him to attack first.

Both Tatsuya and Mikasa planned on going all out during this war since they'll basically disappear after that for some years. Tatsuya wanted to fight the Third Kazekage and Mikasa wanted to kill as many people from both sides as possible.

With those thoughts in mind, both Tatsuya and Mikasa disappeared from the Hokage's office.

"What are you up to?" Mikasa asked in a teasing tone as they appeared inside Pakura's house. Pakura was staring at the Flying Thunder God mark on her left hand with a smile on her face.

Pakura flinched as she heard Mikasa's voice. She was acting like a thief who got caught red-handed.

"Why are you guys here?" Pakura asked, she knew that if she said anything wrong, Mikasa won't let her go without teasing her.

"We are free so we decided to check up on you since you were quite traumatised after what happened in Roran," Tatsuya said with a smile.

"I wasn't traumatised, that was my first time seeing something like that," Pakura said with a helpless look before she continued, "Forget it, what about Hikari?" She decided to change the topic.

"Hikari? She's just looking forward to her training." Miksa said with a wide grin.

"What training? Her training is going on so what's there to look forward to?" Pakura asked, confused. What confused her, even more, was that Mikasa emphasised the word 'training'. Her suspicion only increased after looking at Mikasa's evil smile.

"You'll understand when you grow up," Tatsuya said with a helpless expression. But he was looking forward to training Hikari as much as Mikasa was.

Pakura frowned but didn't ask much. The last thing she wanted was to make Mikasa angry.

"Don't you guys have work to do since your position in your village isn't low?" Pakura asked.

"We are on a very important mission you know. Our mission is to determine what is going on inside the Sand village." Mikasa said with a serious but sarcastic look.

"And let me guess, you're going to report that the Sand is going to attack the Leaf without even checking it once," Pakura said while rolling her eyes. Both Tatsuya and Mikasa gave her a thumbs up for remembering the plan.

'They won't improve no matter what.' Pakura thought before she sighed.

"Let's go hang out somewhere since we're free." Mikasa said before she teleported all of them without even asking for permission. On the way, they also picked up Hikari before they appeared on another one of their training islands.

"This isn't the island we trained on?" Pakura asked. She was fond of the place she trained for more than half a year.

"We ended up destroying that island when we were fighting," Tatsuya said as if it wasn't a big deal. Remembering how they fought for two days nonstop. He spammed Kirin everywhere while Mikasa used around two thousand explosive tags enhanced by Natural energy. The destruction of the island was Mikasa's fault. They almost used half of the chakra stored in the 'Strength of a Hundred Seal'. If it wasn't for Creation Rebirth, they both would be dead right now.

"Huh? How the hell did you end up destroying an island?" Pakura asked.

"Why were you guys fighting?" Hikari was interested, but in another topic.

"Well, we fought for two days straight. As for the reason, it was to decide who gets to train Hikari first." Tatsuya said with a smile.

"Train her?" Pakura was confused, Tatsuya told her to look after Hikari's training when they met, so what's going on?

Pakura looked at Hikari, only to find that the latter was blushing hard while mumbling something about being obedient? What's wrong with everyone?

Of course, Hikari understood what her 'training' meant. She was about to get corrupted.

'What's going on?' The innocent Pakura was as clueless as ever. No one bothered to explain anything to her. When she asked about it, they'll just say that she's too young.

And so, three hours passed. Mikasa and Tatsuya decided to head back to the Leaf and start the war officially. Although it's fun playing around, work needs to be done.

"We're back," Tatsuya said as they both appeared inside the Hokage's office. Everyone was still in the same position as they were earlier, only some of the seats were empty.

"What was the situation inside the Sand village?" The Hokage asked. He was really anxious about this whole conflict. Something just doesn't seem right, but he couldn't figure out what. It was as if they were dancing on someone's palm.

"The Sand is mobilizing its forces and will attack the Leaf within 3 to 5 days. That's all the information we could get from a Sand Chunin." Tatsuya said. The expressions of everyone here were pretty entertaining.

The meeting pretty much went as they expected. The Hokage was reluctant to start a war but was pressured by Danzo and the two council elders. Many clan heads were also in support that they should take the advantage and make the first move.

[Chatroom

Tatsuya- Did you notice?

Mikasa- You mean the Black Zetsu below us?

Tatsuya- Yeah. He's been around the village a lot lately.

Mikasa- He probably wants to check who it was that initiated the war between the two villages all of a sudden.

Tatsuya- Since it isn't the White Zetsu, that means Madara doesn't have his Rinnegan right now.

Mikasa- Should we collect the Rinnegan along with Konan during the war?

Tatsuya- Please don't talk like we're professional kidnappers. As for the Rinnegan, I don't think it'll be useful for us, except for the Human Path.

Mikasa- That's true. I'll eventually get one pair anyway.

Tatsuya- Yeah.]

After the meeting was over, they left the Hokage's office. Since it was late already, the Hokage decided to announce about the upcoming war tomorrow. Every Jonin was informed but the civilians weren't.

"What do you think your Mangekyo ability will be?" Tatsuya asked as he looked up at Mikasa's face. His head was resting on her thighs.

"I don't know. Something related to space?" She said.

"On that note, what's up with your space control." Tatsuya asked.

Mikasa waved her hand as several cracks appeared in the air, they were all pitch black. They were bigger than the last time Tatsuya saw them. Big enough so that even a civilian would notice if they look carefully.

"If I get a space ability, it'll be very helpful," Mikasa said with a smile. She was looking forward to the ability she'll get.

With those thoughts, they fell asleep.
