Yagura was being as obedient as ever, which was handy. All Obito had to do was sit back and wait for the moment the Daimyo and his guards let their guard down and place them under his genjutsu.

The young Alpha Kage was currently entertaining the Daimyo of the Land of Water, along with the Courtesan. Mei, Yagura's second in command, had been dismissed from the room. The Omega had been too agitated around the Courtesan, so Obito had Yagura send her away. The Daimyo's guards were lined up against the wall, eyes ever watchful, but missed Obito's presence hidden within the shadows.

"You are as beautiful as ever, Lady Courtesan." The Daimyo leaned closer, sniffing her scent loudly. "If I had known you were still so lovely I might have tried to visit years ago. It's a shame you moved away from the capital. I have missed your company."

"You flatter me, my Lord." The Courtesan smiled sweetly, brushing her fingers over his cheek. "To hear such praise from you makes my heart flutter."

The Daimyo gasped, shivering beneath her fingertips. Obito smirked. The fool had already fallen head over heels for her. The Courtesan leaned in, going for a kiss, but suddenly a kunai cut in between them. A guard instantly between her and his Lord. The Courtesan glowered at the guard who threw it, and the room slowly grew colder.

"She was creating a genjutsu-" the guard yelled.

Yagura knocked him to the ground, giving the Courtesan some space. She backed away, just as Obito stepped out of the shadows.

"Now, now," Obito teased. "You shouldn't attack the Courtesan of the Land of Water."

"They're so rude!" The Courtesan played along. "They threw a kunai at me and everything."

The guards lunged in, but Obito easily overwhelmed them and placed each of them under his genjutsu. The guards collapsed in an instant, out cold. The Daimyo cowered at the table, shaking like a leaf, and the sight made Obito snort.

"Look at you, one of the powerful Daimyos, shivering like a drenched kitten at the smallest of fights," Obito mocked. "Yet you happily send children in to do the dirty work for you whenever another Lord pisses you off."

Obito grabbed him by the neck, dragging him out from against the table. The Daimyo sobbed, squirming and clawing at his hands when he held him up in the air, choking him slowly.

"P-Please stop! I-I'll give you- Give you whatever you want-" he rasped.

"All I desire is to fix this ugly world," Obito growled lowly. "And you will be a very handy piece of that once you're under my control."

He allowed the Daimyo to suffer for a little bit longer before placing him under his genjutsu. Obito tossed him back down to the floor, the Daimyo limp and unconscious. The Courtesan kicked him, much to Obito's amusement, before going back to her tea.

Although Obito suspected that it wasn't tea, and was in fact alcohol. It wasn't steaming after all, and was lighter in colour.

The Village Hidden in the Mist was split by two leaders, in a way. Yagura, as the Mizukage, was the leader of the Mist, but the Courtesan lead the Omegas of the Land of Water. The Courtesan was the one all looked to for advice, the one everyone admired and wished to be. The title had been passed down to several Omegas for generations, their real name never revealed.

Until now. Obito knew all about Aina Yuki, and she knew him as Madara Uchiha.

She saw that this world was hell, just as he did, and supported Project Tsuki No Mi with every ounce of her being. Just as Kisame did.

When her Clan was slaughtered it had broken her heart. Aina had only survived because she had already been the Courtesan, and none knew their name, except the former Courtesan.
