Third Person's point of view.
When Indra returned to the Inn, the guys looked worried to see her alone. But when they didn't see any concern on her face they let out a small breath, and then completely relaxed when Mitagi walked in an hour later. Indra had been sitting at the low table, Chibiusa lay in her lap napping. She didn't even flinch when Mitagi dropped down low into a very deep Dogeza. Indra rolled her eyes as the other two guys jumped up surprised by what their teacher was doing.
He is clearly the older person of their group, the bow was meant to show deference to a person of higher status, as a deep apology or to express the desire for a favor from said person. She didn't care to know why he would bow this deeply. "I am so sorry for how I was acting, I swear it will never happen again." he said, never lifting his head from the ground, both Tomio and Saburo were trying to get him to stop.
But he wasn't budging on this, he was intent on waiting for her to say something. But she wasn't looking at him, she really didn't see what the big deal was. "Indra do something!" Tomio snapped and she turned her head slightly and looked at him. Her eyes were menacing, if not almost lifelessly dark. Almost darker than normal, her eyes shifted to Mitagi and she watched him for a moment, then spoke.
"Enough," was all she said and he looked up, but she'd already shifted her attention back to the window she'd been staring out of aimlessly. Mitagi sighed a breath of relief and the two guys looked at each other over the older guy's head. They were so confused and concerned.

The next morning, moved quickly as they all had a boat to catch. Indra made sure nothing was forgotten and Tomio made sure the room was clean. Mitagi made sure to return their keys and Saburo secured rooms for them on the ship. As the rest of them moved to catch up with Saburo, Indra could feel eyes on her and the others. But she didn't didn't react to it and didn't let on that she'd sensed anything.
Getting on the ship, they got to their rooms and Indra was pleased she was only sharing a room with Chibiusa. She needed more privacy, even if it was with the little lady. The trip across the water to get to the Moon Country would take at least a week and a half if the weather behaved. The main hard part was over, it would be very relaxing to just wait till the ship docked. The team did decide that aliases would keep most from asking too many questions.
So Indra and Tomio would pose as a couple and Mitagi and Saburo would pose as Tomio's bodyguards while he pretended to be a young lord from a distant land. Indra is playing his lover and Chibiusa is their child. They realized it helped because there weren't a lot of women on the ship to really gossip about it. So there wasn't many if any people whispering about them. Indra did take advantage of the main deck,
She used it to keep an eye on everything while pretending to sunbathe with Chibiusa reading children's' books beside Indra or napping on her chest under an umbrella. There were some nights where Indra spent the night in the bathroom dry heaving, but she never let it show around the others. So when the end of their trip was starting to come up, she made sure to put herself back into mission mode.
***
Docking at the Moon Country, Chibiusa was getting more and more excited. She would bounce in Indra's arms and excitedly point to things that she knew, which would evidently give Indra more information pertaining to their surroundings. With a quick look around, Indra could already see mercs and rogue ninjas waiting in the shadows. So without telling anyone and not letting it be detected.
She popped off some clones and had them take off and take care of the enemies around them as they proceeded into the kingdom to return the little girl to her parents. Indra had made sure that Chibiusa would understand that after she was reunited with her mom and dad that Indra would be leaving, and that even though she wouldn't be able to see her, she would always be thinking about her.
***
Arriving at the main gates. Indra proposed a plan that would root out more enemies while still getting Chibiusa to her parents unharmed. Mitagi would be front and center with the rest of them in clone form, while the originals would be rounding up the rest of the attackers. "Tomio, relax, we're almost done," Mitagi said keeping in character. "Right, sorry sir." he said smoothly. Indra having switched herself with one of the clones she had running around,
She followed at the very back. Wanting to get the leader of this whole thing. She pulled back all her clones except the two she had in view and the one with the original boys. Which let up on the guys fighting to get after Chibiusa. Potentially, she would be using Mitagi and Chibiusa as bait. Once the men came out of the forest lines, Mitagi and the clones went into defensive mode. The guards they'd been waiting on rushed out to protect them,
While one other ran into the estate to probably fetch the King and Queen. Once Mitagi and the clones were surrounded, Indra's clone lead the original boys out and started to pick off the men from behind. While the original Indra, kept looking for the leader of this whole shit-show. When she finally did, she was met with a woman, she has long, wavy fire-red hair that reaches her waist, dull orange eyes that, instead of having whites, has a pale yellow,
Her eyelids are smeared over with a warm cocoa brown, and dark-purple lips, along with pale skin. She is shown always wearing a simple, form-fitting dark-purple dress, with the top of her dress pointed in towards her neck. She is also adorned with a forehead crest, shaped like a black, upside-down boomerang, with two white dots up and down, along with a turquoise stone wrapped around in gold strips and similar earrings.
With her are four tall men, each one looking like some sort of protection detail for her. Indra clocked each one and with her heightened senses was able to tell their basic powers. As well as the accents of their clothes told her, the blonde used fire, the dark red haired one, with gold was earth, the long haired blonde trimmed in green used wind, and the last one a long silver haired man trimmed in blue, used water.
So she would avoid elements completely and go right for the Genjutsu. It is her strongest trick and even though they look fairly intelligent, so she knew she would have to do something a lot stronger than she would normally do. So going for the strongest one, that being the silver haired one. She took over him as quickly as she could. Then with with him under her control she made sure to have him incapacitate the others.
With him distracting the other three, she went after the woman. But it seems that Indra's plans were too good because she'd caught them so off guard that, she was able to take the woman hostage easily. With her under her control as well, she ordered the first man she took control over to restrain the other three then to add bonds for himself attached to the others. He would lead them as they moved back to the estate.
The woman would be restrained by her as she led them all to the ones that would decided their fates.

Exiting the forest, Tomio and Saburo called to her both were annoyed and surprised by the fact that she tricked them all into thinking she was with them the whole time when she really wasn't. But she didn't listen to them and ignored them as she addressed the nine women in battle gear, the single man in thick armor and robes. The one two that stood out as the rulers were the blonde with long bunned pigtails dressed in a flowing white dress,
Along with a man in all black with a flowing cape and sword. Stopping before the King and Queen, she bowed. "Majesties, the ones behind everything are yours to deal with as you see fit. Two of them will remain under my Hypnosis till death or till released from it someone who is a master at dispelling Genjutsus." she said and several of the battle dressed women stepped forward,
"Could we ask you to do something for us?" a dark haired one in blue asked, Indra turned her cold blank stare to her when she spoke, the intensity made the woman jump a little, "We have a theory that they are being controlled by someone that we cannot get to at the moment, could you release them from that hold." she asked and a look of desperation fitted onto two of the nine women's faces.
"We were tasked to return the little lady to her parents, that was my mission, this corralling of your enemies wasn't part of it, I did it for the sake of the little princess." Indra said and the looked a bit saddened. Indra looked over at Mitagi, "If you can convince my team leader, I wouldn't be opposed to offering my services." she finished with a small flourished bow. She could feel Mitagi's eyes on her back.
But she didn't move. "If you really need Indra that much I don't think it would be too bad if we stayed a bit longer to make sure everything is settled at least." several of the women gasped with joy and happiness. "Yea!! Indy can stay!" Chibiusa cheered as she jumped down from the arms of a maid and rushed towards Indra. The Uchiha girl caught her easily and without worry for the prisoners behind her,
Even as every guard and her parents gasped with worry. Indra turning to the restrained prisoners, reached up and covered Chibiusa's eyes and her team being nearby covered their own as she used her power to control the rest of the men so they would be more manageable. Relaxing her powers she looked back at everyone and moved her hand, "They won't be any problem," she stated.
"And will be susceptible to your commands, is there somewhere for me to work?" she asked and the King gestured for her to follow him, advancing, Indra handed the Princess to her mother, the blonde looked relieved to have her daughter back in her arms. Indra tried not to let the motherly love get to her and remind her of her lack of it. Following the king, he lead all of them inside. The guys were brought to rooms to rest,
Mitagi took that moment to stand beside Indra, "Why didn't you tell me your plan." he said a bit bitterly. "Everyone had their part, I wouldn't be able to fight with you or the others there, you would have been in my way." she said abrasively. "Don't worry, this won't take too long, we'll be out of here early morning the latest." she said, not wanting to remain longer than needed, she needed to separate the princess from herself.

True to her word. Indra had them out of the Moon Castle by early morning. They were seen off by the King and his advisers. The Queen isn't a morning riser apparently and the worry of her daughter being kidnapped messed with her sleep. They only accepted the payment for the original mission and refused the extra money for the depossession of the four men. The woman Beryl refused to give any information and died in the integrations with Indra.
Now on the ship heading back to Takigakure. Indra had to sit through Mitagi and Tomio's nagging and scolding of her leaving them out of her plans, trying to make her promise to include them, even if it was just to tell them what she planned to do. But she argued that if they were captured the less they knew the better. It would make saving them easier and it would keep the most information out of enemy hands. They hated that she was right.
But they still made sure to get her to tell them what they needed and that she had to tell them and not say that all of it wasn't needed. Just so she could keep it to herself. She caved and agreed if only to get them to leave her alone. "Now when we get back it should be around the time for Chunin Exams will be around the corner, I'm thinking of enrolling all of you," Mitagi said. Indra was very indifferent to the exams.
She knew how strong she is, being promoted didn't change that. But the boys were excited. So she didn't fight it and allowed them to rope her into agree to it. Again just so that she could be left alone to go rest, but not that she would be telling them that. Finally in her own room, she hunched over the bathroom sink and turned on the water and a fit racked her before settling long enough for her to get a few hours of sleep.
