The moon hung high over the Land of Waves, its pale glow partially veiled by mist drifting from the sea. The gentle lapping of waves against the shore offered a deceptive calm, masking the true tension bubbling beneath the surface. In the distance, Gato's estate loomed, a gaudy structure overlooking the struggling village below—a symbol of greed and oppression.
Mikoto Uchiha stood in the shadows, her blue eyes shimmering faintly in the moonlight, but as she closed her eyes and reopened them, the glow intensified. The Mangekyō Yuri Eye Sharingan activated, the female symbol (♀) forming in her iris, pulsing with ethereal energy.
She felt the power surge within her, not just from her own strength, but from the growing belief of the women in Uzu no Sato, from her love for Raven, and from her belief in the Free Love Revolution.
This power would reshape the world.
Tonight, it would strip Gato bare.
Mikoto formed a single hand sign, her chakra flaring silently, dispersing her presence across the mist. The guards stationed along the estate's perimeter stood stiffly, their eyes scanning aimlessly into the dark, unaware that their minds were already caught in her web.
Genjutsu: Veil of False Vigilance.
The illusion seeped into their minds, trapping them in a loop of false awareness, making them believe they were still patrolling—alert and attentive, when in reality, they were rooted like statues.
Mikoto smirked.
Too easy.
With a swift flick of her wrist, she unfurled a crimson-marked summoning scroll—crafted by Raven herself, infused with Uzumaki sealing techniques.
She pressed her hand against the scroll, channeling her chakra into it.
A puff of smoke erupted as four kunoichi materialized, their black attire blending seamlessly into the night. They were part of Uzu no Sato's elite Property Liberation Unit—specialists in infiltration, theft, and economic warfare.
Each of them wore a sly smile, armed with daggers, wire tools, and sealing pouches for transporting wealth.
"We're on the clock, ladies," Mikoto said smoothly, her Yuri Eyes glowing beneath her hood. "Let's liberate some assets."
They moved like phantoms, slipping past the enchanted guards into the depths of Gato's estate.
The lead kunoichi, Kana, was sharp-eyed and no-nonsense, assessing every security measure. "Weak locks. Typical merchant arrogance."
The second, Reika, smirked as she bypassed a chest's latch. "Men like this always think they're untouchable."
The third, Sumi, giggled softly as she scooped gold bars into her pouch. "Liberation is such a beautiful word."
Mikoto watched them work, but her focus was elsewhere. She ascended to Gato's personal chambers, moving with the precision of a predator.
The scent of greed lingered in the air.
She slipped inside his office, the walls lined with ledgers, contracts, and hidden compartments. She activated her Yuri Eyes, piercing through false surfaces to reveal Gato's secrets.
She plucked out documents detailing:
Bribes paid to Land of Water officials.
Shipping routes for smuggling weapons and opium.
Human trafficking ledgers, exploiting desperate families.
And—most importantly—an order to eliminate Zabuza and Haku once the bridge was complete.
Her eyes narrowed.
The pieces were falling into place.
As Mikoto returned to the lower floors, Kana and the others finished sealing away their spoils.
"We've taken everything worth having," Kana whispered. "Gato will wake up to an empty vault."
Sumi chuckled. "The revolution's purse grows fatter."
Reika held up a jeweled necklace, winking. "Consider this my bonus."
Mikoto allowed a rare smile.
"This wealth will fuel Uzu no Sato," she said quietly. "But what we found tonight… is far more valuable than Ryo."
They retreated as smoothly as they entered, vanishing into the mist, leaving Gato's guards still trapped in their genjutsu, blissfully unaware that their master had been stripped bare.
Hours later, Mikoto stood before Raven, presenting the stolen wealth and intelligence.
Raven's violet eyes gleamed as she flipped through the documents, her mind already calculating the ripples this information could create.
"This…" Raven's voice dropped to a satisfied murmur, "...is everything."
She looked up at Mikoto, their eyes meeting—Yuri Eyes to Rinnegan.
"You've outdone yourself."
Mikoto's heart stirred, the glow of her Yuri Eyes intensifying briefly, but she kept her composure.
"This is just the beginning," Mikoto replied. "With Gato's Ryo and his secrets, we can expand our reach beyond the Land of Whirlpools. We can secure trade routes. Buy off border guards. Build the revolution faster."
Yuumi's voice brushed against Raven's mind, playful but impressed. **"See? Women robbing corrupt men blind. This is the future I believe in."**
Raven smirked. "Liberate their wealth, liberate their hearts."
But then, her gaze hardened, turning to the final document—the betrayal order against Zabuza and Haku.
"This… this is what we need," Raven said slowly. Her eyes gleamed with cunning.
"This will bring them to our side."
Mikoto tilted her head. "You're certain?"
Raven's grin was sharp. "Zabuza's proud, but he's not stupid. And Haku… she wants freedom. This will be the key."
Mikoto nodded, trusting Raven's vision.
"We're closer than ever," Raven whispered. "Zabuza. Haku. Gato. This bridge. We take all of it."
As the waves crashed softly against the shore, Mikoto and Raven stood together, their revolution inching closer to reality.
The Land of Waves would be their first victory.
But it would not be the last.
