Everyone in the summit hall had their eyes riveted on the shadowy figure. A black hooded cape and a fox mask obscured her features, and a black robe covered any possibly identifiable markings. The black gloves she wore had the palms cut away.
"Good to see I have your attention. Now, I've got something I wanna tell you all."
"Who are you? And what are you doing here?" Rai Shiromori said quietly, pulling Takaya close. Shin stood at the ready, glaring at the figure.
"You shut up for a moment and I'll tell you. Okay, everybody. My name is Menma."
"Menma? Like the ramen condiment?" Takaya giggled.
"SHUT UP!" Menma roared. She pointed a finger at Takaya, and a tiny ball of black energy formed at the end of it. "Now, Hokage, unless you want to be scrubbing your pretty little girl's brains out of your coat tonight, shut her up so I can keep talking."
"Oh really?"
"Don't think I can? Then why not demonstrate on someone a little more...disposable?" Menma moved her finger to point at Shin. "Bang." The chakra ball shot towards Shin with the speed of a bullet. No human could've avoided the attack.
But Shin wasn't human. In the blink of an eye she had drawn her tanto and slapped the chakra bullet away with the flat of the blade.
You could hear the smile in Menma's voice. "Oh? Guess you're not as disposable as I thought."
"I was brought into being to guard my lady from harm. As long as she lives, I cannot and will not die."
"Such resolve. We'll see if that lasts." Menma scanned the room. "I see that you're not the only one of your kind."
"No, I am not. Each Kage has their own. Right now, we have Enrai, the Hokage's guardian..." Shin gestured to the mostly-bandaged young man at Rai's side. "...Sabaku Sotaiso, the guardian of the Kazekage..." She pointed to the young woman dressed in a tattered tunic with broken manacles around her wrists and ankles sitting at Gaara's right hand. "...Sodaina Kurokari, guardian of the Raikage..." She pointed to the black-haired cat-girl perched on the table near the Raikage. "...Kohai, guardian of the Tsuchikage..." She indicated the hooded, robed figure standing near the Tsuchikage's chair. "And Mizugameza, guardian of the Mizukage." She pointed to a young woman with extremely long, flowing, sky blue hair who was dressed in simple clothes adorned with pearls.
"I see. Six of you, plus the five Kage...and the Hokage's daughter." Menma's audible smile became a grin. "Twelve against one. But, of course, it'll be too easy this way. Now, let me tell you what I'm after." Menma leaned forward. "I want revenge on the villages that cast me out sixteen years ago. I wish to carry out the will of the man who raised me and scorch the earth." Menma leaned back. "I will start my war one month from now. You will not know who I will attack or when the attack will come. But when it comes you had best be ready to face me. If you are not ready...you shall all be destroyed, and I will become this world's god."
As Menma turned her head back and forth, Takaya caught a glimpse of what appeared to be Sharingan...but at the same time...
"You have one month. I bid you adieu." Menma disappeared using something similar to the Kamui.
Takaya piped up as soon as she was gone. "I-I saw her eyes!"
"I did as well," Sabaku Sotaiso said glumly. "Menma...whoever she is...is being manipulated by someone with Sharingan."
