Time: 3 days after (Chapter 51)

Mitsu's Cabin,

Near the Port of Maishima Island

[General]

.

"Mitsu-sama… Do you really want to do this?" Asked an old man who seemed exhausted from dealing with too many shenanigans.

"Stop with the Mitsu-sama business! Call me Kaneko damn it Ka, Ne, Ku~ unnn~

And what's wrong with my plan anyways?" Asked Mitsu with a charming smile.

But everyone present knew what that smile hid…

"Etto~ Kaneko-kun, I think, Sanada-sama means that it might be problematic if they find out about him…" Fuzzy tried to make some sense.

But Mitsu simply brushed it off.

"Nonsense!

You guys worry too much.

Don't worry your fuzzy little head, my dear Fuzzy! No one will find out a thing.

Here gramps!

Wear this. Hehehe~"

Mitsu threw something at the old butler.

It appeared to be a black cloth from afar. And as the old man curiously unraveled the cloth piece, he was stunned beyond belief.

Because in his hand was an eye-patch… The tacky kind too...

"Come on what are ya waiting for gramps? Wear it!

I guarantee that you will be the hottest grandpa in the sea!" Mitsu said enthusiastically while taking the good guy pose.

The old butler was lost for word hearing his young master, as was everyone else present.

Some of the sailors were trying their best to forcibly suppress their laughter. But snot and tears were showing on their faces.

"Sigh!

I know that you won't let this go until I wear it…" The old butler gave himself to fate and wore the eyepatch dejectedly.

Honestly, he didn't look that bad wearing the eyepatch.

He had quite a good build and serious face.

In fact, he looked quite manly. The old man kind of course.

And with the fact that the old man was above average in physical attributes made the disguise suit him.

The maids helped with the rest of the disguise.

And so with a bit of touch, here and there, he looked the part of a domineering warlord.

[A/N: Mitsu's butler isn't op, but he is strong, I mean compared to other old men ofc. He is Mitsu's butler. And ya know about the 'divine intervention' at night right? XDDDD]

"Truly, Sanada-sama, that disguise quite becomes you! Kaneko-kun sure has a knack for disguising." Said one of the maids, who helped disguise the old man.

The butler looked indifferent to the praise. Because inside he had already died of depression.

"Gahh~ Don't worry too much gramps. Hehehe~

You just need to be there looking pretty and say some simple things.

Leave the actual work to Fuzzy!

Now speaking of Fuzzy, did you get in touch with Ichi? What did he say? Are the leaders willing to speak?" Mitsu faced Fuzzy and asked with a smile.

"All preparations are complete Mitsu-sama. Itachi has managed to make the Resistence leaders agree to this meeting.

And from his letter it looks like they are very eager to meet the 'Warlord' as well." Fuzzy reported in one go.

"Excellent!

So the game officially begins." With his declaration, Mitsu got out of his cabin.

A smile was apparent on his face.

Time: A few hours later

Inner meeting room

[Terumi Me]

.

'So this is the Warlord? Quite terrifying indeed. The rumors might just be true…' I thought as I greeted the Warlord of Kobe, Sanada Hisashi-sama.

We didn't manage to get any information on the man.

It was as if, he appeared out of nowhere.

'Someone as powerful and charismatic as him being unknown is quite fishy.

Well every one of his subordinates look fishy…

I have only seen them today and yet…'

I looked around the room again.

First my eyes landed on Uchiha Itachi.

A genius of Konoha. Which made me wonder if the Warlord was from the same place or not.

But even after searching through all the intelligence reports, I haven't found a single person that matches the name or matches his features.

[A/N: People might ask that 'why they not know about Itachi being Mitsu's minion'. The answer is simple, kiri had cut contact with other nations for years and because of their internal conflict and stuff they have very few reports on the recent few years.]

But yet someone as talented as the Uchiha prodigy is following him. Not to mention the same prodigy, has no record on the bingo book…

Meaning that he was never seen on a mission outside of the village.

This also means one of two things.

Either he is a protected princess.

Or he is so strong that no one was able to return with a report of his existence.

And from what I have witnessed so far, I would go with the later option.

Then there was this handsome man standing behind the warlord.

Cool, collected and dangerous.

The aura about him is so forceful that the moment I saw him I needed to put my guard up.

My gut was telling me that… Behind those dead fish like eyes hid the eyes of a predator.

*Gulp*

I smiled slightly at the man without knowing. He simply glanced at me for a moment and went back to his usual dead fish stare towards the room.

We didn't have any record on this fellow either. Just like the warlord he seemed to have come out of nowhere.

Maybe it's because of our internal problems.

We haven't kept much contact with the other countries recently, because of our serious situation…

But still…

Not having any information on people as strong as them...

This really puts us at a disadvantage.

Then my eyes landed on a child who was sitting next to the Warlord. He seemed quite carefree and cheerful.

Nothing about him felt extraordinary.

Among everyone here, he was the only one who didn't fit in this meeting room.

He seemed like any other child who should be out in the streets, playing with other children his age.

He looked as normal as a civilian could be. Or maybe I should say, a noble?

He did look quite well dressed...

I must have stared at the child for too long as I felt a few gazes on me.

And one of them felt terrifying.

I was a bit astonished as I looked at the source of that gaze. It was from none other than Itachi.

His gaze was that of a mother hen trying to protect her chick from a big bad wolf…

'Seems like Itachi-kun has a soft spot for this boy. Huhu~ How adorable. Maybe I will tease him about it later. But now that makes me wonder…

Who could this child possibly be?' I thought quietly.

And I soon got my answer. As the handsome man standing behind the Warlock made the introduction.

"Ahem~ Mei-sama, this young man is the grandson of Sanada-sama. His name is Sanada Kaneko… Our young master…" The man said in an awkward tone.

'Is this hottie shy? Fufufu~ Maybe he will be easier than Itachi to get information out of.' I thought happily.

[A/N: No wonder you were single till the end…]

"Oh, so this is young Kaneko-sama. Hello~ Nice to meet you. Perhaps you would like to go play outside with the other kids? One of our guards can tak-" I was trying get the child a place to play, so he wouldn't get bored.

But I was stopped by the Warlord.

He simply uttered a sentence that felt as if it came out of the depths of hell, "He will stay!"

"Yes, of course…

The young master needs to learn things as well…" Said one of the other leaders.

He was the one who went to the port to welcome our guests this morning.

And for some reason… He seemed quite terrified of the sweet child…

'What could have possibly happened? Mah~ I will ask him later.'

"Very well, let us all sit down and start the meeting." I said while sitting down.

I needed to start the meeting strong so that we don't lose our control.

Extra:

Same time~

In Rokko Island

[General]

.

Four men wearing black cloaks with red cloud designs got on shore from a boat.

"Why the hell are we here on Rokko Island? Didn't the white bastard say that the kid was on Maishima?" asked a very impatient man with a giant sword behind his back.

"Calm down Juzo…" Said a hunched man who appeared quite peculiar with a scorpion like tail.

"Calm down? CALM DOWN? You bastards made me come back to this godforsaken country once again. And you Mo*****er want me to calm d---" Juzo was going on a rampage of words but lucky got stopped by a snake as it went into his mouth blocking it.

"You do know that you are disgusting right? You should have blown his mouth up instead..." Said a man with bright golden hair.

[A/N: Yes, I know Deidara was Sasori's partner in the anime.

But Sasori was Orochimaru's partner till the snake bastard had to leave coz of Itachi. But Deidara should have joined the Akatsuki around our current timeline. If not, then might be a few months later. But the time line should be correct. As he died when he was 19, and he joined the Akatsuki when he was 14. So it adds up. Should be a few months off, here and there, but ya know… Didn't want to add an OC. And Kisame joins after the fight with Yagura which would happen in 1 more year in the canon I think.]

"Deidara-kun, you shouldn't talk like that about your senpais. Sssss" Said a nonchalant Orochimaru.

Juzo took out the snake that was choking him. He unseathed his sword and looked angrily at Orochimaru and Deidara.

"You sure have a death wish don't you, snake bastard? And you newbie… Looks like Pain didn't teach you ma-" Juzo wanted to continue, but he was stopped by the hunched man.

"You lot can fight all you want after we are done with the mission. I don't want to waste my precious time on something so pointless."

He then started walking.

The golden haired boy jumped excitedly and started following, "Wait for me, Master Sasori! Lemme show you my new piece of art!"

"Grr… I don't want to stay in this dog shit land any more than I need to,,, Tsk." Said Juzo as he started following the two.

Only Orochimaru was left behind.

No one noticed the creepy smile he had as he muttered silently.

'Wait for me my precious vassal... I am coming for you… ssss"
