It's night time, it's been more than 10 days already and tomorrow you may be at your destination already at this time. You don't really talk to people but these group, they're so nice and it felt so comfortable to have a single chit chat from time to time.

You can't sleep too this night even after a very exhausting journey, your mind is somewhere else but your dream. You step out of your tent and hop on a tree branch and started to admire the night view there. So calming, so relaxing, eventhough your body is so tired, this is all you need to rest to be exact. A peaceful alone time, just you and your world.

You then take out your music box and played the song to add up the mood. Nothing is better than this in this whole world. This music...maybe, this is the only thing that makes you feel... yourself again.

Sometimes, it felt like... it's better for you to just escape from this world and live a brand new life but, you've been granted to that wish since Sakata pick you up. After that, you were able to live more freely from your previous 'life', you learned a lot of things and that makes you want to explore more, especially about the secrets of this big world. Also, your big question as well...

"What does it means...does every words have meaning behind of it? Or... it's just a few letters that were arranged into a group of letters? I still don't have the answer now..." You mumbled to yourself while looking at the sky. "Just...what in the world does evil means?" You keep repeating that question again. But suddenly, another question popped out of your mind, "What is the reason that I want to find the answer anyway?"

***

"Just... what in the world does evil means?"

He was lost for a second. What does it means? Does evil have any meaning to begin with? A lot of questions started to storm into his mind, flooding his already full mind of these absurd questions.

Then, he smiled while looking at your figure from afar but in a good range to hear your mumbles. "That habit of her's...it will never change for sure, no matter that you're Uchiha (y/n) or Mitsurugi (y/n)...you still love having your alone time, especially at night, huh..."

He then left, knowing that you will be just fine as tomorrow morning, you will already arrive at Konoha so... there's nothing to be worried about. Plus, he knew you're actually strong, not weak.

"What is the reason that you want to find the answer anyway?"

***

"Can I know the reason of your visit?" The gatekeeper asked your group while eyeing on you. Maybe, it's because of how weird that you're actually traveling with kimono.

'I hope they won't recognize me...'

"We are a group of traveling merchants, we have some goods to sell here if-"

"Why didn't you hire any shinobi to watch your safety? I'm sorry if it sounds rude but, we have to aware of spies from other nation as well. I hope all of you understand." The gatekeeper told the group.

You stepped forward, so do Len. This is where you will play your short little game with a huge bonus of simple happy ending.

"My apology, I should have introduce myself first, sir", Len began. "My name is Mitsurugi Len, and this is my sister, Mitsurugi (y/n). May I know what process do we have to go on in order to enter the village?"

Those two gatekeepers flinched after hearing the introduction. It hits the sweet spot rather easily with these guys.

You closed your hand fan and smiled at them. "I'm sorry for the inconveniences, men but, contacting shinobi is a bit...difficult and slow, that's why we came here without any protection at all..."

You can see that both of them are blushing at how you changed your voice a bit to make it sounds more seducing. Man...such a wise being, bit also easy to be a fool... What a fine creature.

"I-I'm, I mean, we're sorry, Mitsurugi-sama." Both them bowed at you that makes you snicker silently.

"We should know that both of you are from the noble family, we're really sorry, Mitsurugi-sama..."

Len smirked at you, he knew you know how to play the game in the smoothest way for sure. "No, no... it's fine. It is our foolishness too for not introducing ourselves first..." Len told them.

"N-No, Mitsurugi-sama! I'm the one at fault! I should know that a very fine noble is more than enough to give a safety guarantee as well, especially from the Mitsurugi family... I'm sorry once again, Mitsurugi-sama." One of them apologised again. This is too much now, it's getting hotter as the sun is almost above your head now.

You open your fan back and started to fan yourself like a noble while looking at those two at the corner of your eyes. They will understand this simple body language for sure.

"I'm sorry, Mitsurugi-sama!" He bowed again. "I-I'll register your name for the visitors form also for the merchants section too. I will take care of it, don't worry." One of them said while motioning his hand to welcome you in.

"Welcome to Hidden Village, Konoha, Mitsurugi-sama, merchants." He welcomed all of you in now.

You motioned the group to go inside first as this where your contract with group ends, until they arrive safely in one pieces in Konoha. They understood and proceed to get inside while you and Len wait at the outside of the gate along with those two gatekeepers.

After the group was vanished from your sight, those two gatekeepers were puzzled to see with Len still standing at the entrance.

"Um, is there anything we could help?"

"Can we have an appointment with the Hokage? It's about our business." You told them bluntly.

They flinched again, "Umm... that's...um-"

"Yo, what is this comm-"

Without giving the chance for that sudden entity to finish his phrase, you already slashed your sword at his neck but stopped it just in time before beheaded that man.

"Woah..." He murmured.

You actually recognise this voice, you turned around to confirm your assumption and you're right. It is who you think it is. Your ex superior, Hatake Kakashi.

You plastered a fake relief smile to hide your anxiety while sheathing your sword back. Well, that action is also necessary to...show them that no one should mess around with the Mitsurugi family. You need to act innocent now.

You pouted at the silverette, "You shouldn't snuck behind me like that, gentleman..."

He blushed at the sight of you before looking at you properly but, he seems to just discard it away. "I'm sorry for scaring you, Miss..."

One of the gatekeeper then whispered something to him that makes his eyes widened in a pure shock. He then scanned you and Len simultaneously.

The silverette then asked again, "Is there anything I can help you guys with?" But this time, the question is pointed towards the gatekeepers.

"Um... actually, Kakashi-san...They want to meet up with Hokage-sama for their business issue. But, you know how Tsunade-sama will kick them out and all..."

You were a bit shocked to hear that, Tsunade is now a Hokage? What happened to the Sandaime? Is he...dead?

You looked at Len with a hopeless face, this is harder than it is... Maybe, you shouldn't meet with that short tempered woman... You should just explore the village and- that's right! You need to study about those vessels as well here! That's your prior motive too.

"It's okay. I'm on my way to her office as well. I'll take both of you there, Mitsurugi-sama." The silver jounin suddenly spoke out.

You looked back at him while shrinking your eyes slightly, just trying to read his face express- that will never work because of that mask. You sighed, what kind of plan do you need in order to drag him in helping you and Len out for this business talk? You need to think about this thoroughly this time, knowing this man, he's a bit different from the others. From experience to start with, eventhough he's not an Uchiha,he managed to use that Sharingan well enough like an Uchiha as well. But, he's a human and every human have their weakness... being a man, what else their weakness is, right?

Let's gamble on this plan first... You smirked at Len as a sign that everything will be 'fine'.

He caught your signal and quickly play his part. "Um, sir... it's...um, you know... we don't to disturb you with your job so... it's fine. We can come again whenever the Hokage-sama isn't busy." Len said, all of his innocent soul was so obvious with that voice. If this going to be in the right way, which of course it will be...he will begin with the second step which no one, especially shinobi can reject. Maybe no one can reject it, it's an offer!

"It's fine, Mitsurugi-sama. I just want to give her my report, after that both of you can talk to her. You have my compromise here." The silverette said again to Len while you're just eyeing at him.

Now is your move, "Neeh..." You purr at him while slightly moving closer to him.

He gulped a sudden lump in his throat and quickly move away from you. Ahah, got the spot!

"What's your name?" You asked again, with that flirty majestic eyes now.

"Um, H-Hatake. Hatake Kakashi." His blush is so obvious even that mask couldn't hide it anymore.

You smirked at your victory, "Can you... please help us with this small talk with Hokage-sama, please... Hatake-san?"

He avoided your gaze while sweating hard, "S-Sure...and please, my lady... j-just call me Kakashi..."

"Ara~ what a fine manner...I like that..." You said while tapping your fan playfully at his arm. "As a reward...I can offer you...um...a sweet service..." You gave him your strongest weapon in this game, that cheeky flirty gaze...and of course, with a pinch of seducing tone in your speech.

Kakashi's face is bright red, "O-Of course! I'll help you get Tsunade-sama's permission for you to have your business here."

Checkmate.

***

With the help of Kakashi, you get Tsunde's permission to have a small business here. Of course, she even agrees to have you and Len as one of Konoha supplier for your profession. With this, you don't have to worry much about money anymore...only for materials... Well, you can think about it later after making some research here...plus, you have your personal agenda too at Konoha.

To find the truth... behind the incident of-

"(y/n)." Len suddenly tap your shoulder.

You turned around to face him while raising your eyebrows questioningly at him. "What?"

"The sweet service..." Len reminds you while pointing to the silverette who's leaning against the door frame at the exit of the Hokage's mansion.

You sighed, "A deal is a deal after all..."

"You wanna give him for free?"

"Nope. Business is business, Nii-san. 50% discount." You answered while walking towards the silverette.

"I'm going to book rooms first for the both of us." Len told you.

"I can help with that too." Kakashi once again volunteer to help which both of you just agreed with him.

After booking two rooms, you and Len went to check the room before getting some rest after that long journey. While you're undressing your kimono, a soft knock was heard from the door.

You grunt, you tossed that kimono away and quickly put on a simple shirt on before opening the door. You were a bit surprised to see that jounin who was there in front of your door.

"Ara~ want to get your sweet service, right? Come in, come in..." You put on your act again.

He blushed, "I-I...can we talk for a minute, Mitsurugi-sama?"

"Sure. Wanna come in or I must go out?" You asked, really annoyed now.

He was a bit hesitant at first but he went into your room where you just let him be. Plus, you still owe him.

"Just...make yourself at home..." You said to him while searching something in your bag before returning to him with a scroll in your hand before you sat on the floor, facing him.

You opened the scroll and release the seals that sealed some of your weapons in that. "Pick whatever you want and I'll give you 50% discount for each."

He sweat dropped, "Huh?"

"This is your reward..." You told him.

"Oh...okay...but, can I ask some questions to you, Mitsurugi-sama?"

You looked at him questioningly, "About what?"

"Um... Maybe personal stuff..."

"Let's see if I want to answer it..." You told him while tilting your head at him. It seems that he got something in his mind as well...

"Um, first...why did you book two rooms? I mean... you're siblings, right? And that shouldn't be any-"

"I want to have some personal space, same goes with, Nii-san." You answered, strict and firm. Waiting for his next question.

"I see...I'm just wondering that you both maybe...not related by blood or something..." Kakashi said but he got a point. You doesn't have any similar look with him as well but, this is just a bluff from Kakashi. He still have something more serious to ask...

You cleared your throat, "So? What's your concern, Kakashi-san?"

He looked up at you, all serious now as you could feel everything tense up now. This guy is finally serious now.

"Nothing personal to be honest, Mitsurugi-sama... it's just, you look familiar... You have almost the same physical appearance of my late comrade..."
