Here's your first chapter, now I can sleep peacefully.
Kagami Mizuki.
One of the most powerful shinobi in the world who had faced a lot of powerful enemies.
Currently, she's inside a room with the other six Kage that came to this room with their respective bodyguards and Mifune, the General of Land of Iron. Right now, they all are discussing about the fate of the remaining Akatsuki and Jinchūriki.
Jinchūriki…
A name for someone that has a Bijū inside them. A curse for them and that sometimes cost their lives.
Of course, she met some jinchuriki before like Gaara, her greatest ally not to only her village but to her family too. An old friend of Naruto who always be there for him when he needs him.
Naruto…
The person who she won't hesitate to sacrifice her life for him. Someone who she really loves and will stand by his side.
Mizuki asked herself whether her decision four years ago is a wise decision or not because Naruto was gone after she made that decision. A decision that she will forever regret, however, that decision is the best for him.
She looked at every single Kage in the room. Starting with Gaara who's been quiet since they were talking about Akatsuki. Just like her, Gaara won't think twice to sacrifice his life for Naruto and always support his decision.
Terūmi Mei, her friend and rival. She and Naruto have a history where he saved her years ago after the Akatsuki managed to capture Yagura, the jinchuriki of Sanbi. She still remembered how she tearfully thanking Naruto and her for saving her predecessor.
Ā, the Yondaime Kazekage. Rival to Namikaze Minato and arch-enemy to Minato's son. Four years ago, he almost killed the son of Sandaime Raikage which Mizuki stopped him but her action caused him to disappear from the world.
Ōnoki, the oldest Kage in the room. Just like Raikage, Naruto almost came to Iwa to kill the old fossil but was prevented by Mizuki.
Kirishima Hikari, Rokudaime Hikarikage. She and Mizuki had fought many times before and in each fight, they left deep scars or impact to each other. Naruto once fought her but was forced to retreat to rescue his friends. Mizuki wondered where's Hikari daughter after she tried to kill her for embarrassing her.
"Mizuki-dono, are you alright?"
Mizuki stared at the man next to her and gave a nod, assuring him that she's fine although he clearly could tell that she's not and looks exhausted.
Namikaze Minato. Once, she respects him, not just because of his power of wiping one thousand Iwa-nin in a blink of eye but for his kindness and bravery but she lost that respect when she found out how he and his wife treat their eldest child that vanished in the past four years.
"We need to do it now! Now is the chance for us to wipe out Akatsuki to ensure the jinchuriki's safety. I proposed an alliance to wipe out the organization." A said to Mifune and the others with a confident tone. Perhaps, he believes that everyone will agree with him.
"After that? What happen? We fight each other? I reject your proposal." Gaara said to A, angering the Raikage with anger issue. "Don't forget what you did to us eight years ago."
Knowing that Gaara is referring to Konoha's invasion, Mei added, "Gaara is right. Even if we agree to form an alliance, I don't believe we can annihilate the Akatsuki because of…."
"Uchiha Izumi."
Everyone stared at Minato. That name left a huge and deep impact to shinobi's world. No one truly knows who she is other than she is the descendant of Uchiha Madara and want to continue his mission; Mugen Tsukuyomi, an illusion that trap the world in their own dream, saving mankind from destroying itself but at the cost of their will and freedom.
"She's just a brat. I fought her ancestor-"
Hikari interrupted, "And you almost kill by Madara. I agreed with Mizukage-dono. Even if we work together, we still can't defeat Izumi. No one can defeat her."
No word come out from any of their mouth. They knew Hikari was right because each of them at least once witnessed her ability.
"Dark Knight can defeat her."
A slammed his fist to the table, cracking it which annoyed Mifune, as he screamed, "As long as I live, I will never work together with that bastard!"
"Why? Is it because of you failed to kill him? Oh wait, let me guess… He almost killed your adoptive daughter. She deserved it for wounded one of his friends and don't forget… I saved your life from him because after his friends died, he almost came to your village to cut off your head from your shoulders." Mizuki replied to A which made him gritted his teeth while Gaara and Mei chuckled. "He's the only one that can kill Izumi or at least defeat her."
"But no one knows where he is right now in the past four years." Hikari said which everyone agreed. Hikari then asked to Mizuki, "What happened to him?"
"We argued about something and when I disagree, he left me. I've been trying to search for him in the past four years but to no avail." Mizuki replied with a bit hint of sadness and regret.
"What makes you think he can kill Izumi?" asked Onoki to Mizuki.
"He knows the secret of Izumi's Mangyekō Sharingan and he almost kill her six years ago but someone rescued her." Mizuki paused for a moment with everyone staring at her as she spoke, "But… Even if I find him, bring him here and we tell everything… He won't help us…"
"Why?" asked Minato to Mizuki as she takes a deep breath and looked at him.
"He hates you, Minato. I'm sorry but he really hates you and I don't know why. He also hates Kumo and Iwa for their involvement in his friend's death four years ago."
Before anyone of them could ask further more, suddenly, a strange green-haired and white skinned being appeared in the middle of table and greeted them with a creepy voice, making everyone surprise and shock with their bodyguards immediately jumped on the table and prepared to engage it.
"Helloooooooooooooo~!!"
The creature smiled at them and continued, "Uchiha Izumi is here-!!"
Ā grabbed its neck and screamed in anger, "Where is she?"
The creature was so shocked at his speed and tried to escape from his grip but this cost its life as the Raikage crushed its neck and threw the dead unidentified life form away but then he and the others heard someone's clapping.
"There's no need such violence, Raikage."
They turned their direction towards the voice and saw a long black-haired woman with fringes and onyx eyes, wearing black robe with red clouds, sitting on a table that located behind Mifune.
It is no other than Uchiha Izumi. She chuckled at their horror face.
"How long have you been there listening to our conversation?" asked Minato as he took out one of his Hiraishin kunai while glaring angrily at Izumi.
"Since Mizuki mentioned Dark Knight." Izumi replied to Minato and she stared at the angry Mizuki with a smirk. "It is true that he is the only one that can defeat me."
Mei interrupted, "If it's true, just give up Uchiha."
"Give up? After all these years of capturing those annoying beasts to fulfill my ancestor's dream, you think I will easily give up?" asked Izumi with rage as she released her sinister chakra, making the entire room to shake violently with the tables and chair either turned into dust or destroyed completely.
As for the Kage, Mifune and their bodyguards, they were overwhelmed by the dark and terrifying chakra but it was too much for them as one by one fell to their knees starting with the samurai and Mifune, followed by Ōnoki and his grandchildren, Ā with his adoptive daughter and brother, Mei with her friends, Gaara with his siblings, Hikari and her daughters, Minato with his student and loyal friend and Mizuki with her protégées.
"Weak. To think that all of you are the one who's going to stop me."
Minato screamed at Izumi, "Don't be so arrogant! There is someone who can defeat you and he is Dark Knight!"
Izumi chuckled at the Yellow Flash of Konoha who's in his knee and replied, "What really makes you think that he can defeat me? Even if he knows the secret of my Sharingan, I've grown more powerful than him possibly could imagine. Besides, do you have any idea where he is right now? Even I have no idea where that bastard run away like a coward."
Anger at what Izumi said, Mizuki rose up while ignoring her scarred protégé's warning and delivered several punches that Izumi casually dodged it without even bother to look at it.
Mizuki then delivered a fast kick that Izumi intercepted and stunned her with a powerful punch to her abdomen.
It was extremely painful for Mizuki as she coughed up blood and fell to her knees, Izumi then lifted her up by her hair with her right hand while her other hand grabbed and squeezed Mizuki's throat.
"Scream his name…."
"N-never..."
Izumi tightened her grip around her neck as everyone rushed at her but they were restrained by purple thorn-covered vines that slowly draining their chakra.
"Scream his name!! Scream Dark Knight's name!!"
"G-go to hell…" Mizuki grabbed Izumi's wrist with both of her hands, engulfing it with magnificent purple flame that causing Izumi in pain.
"Scream his name, Kagami!! Scream his name or I'll rip your heart and give it to my dog!!"
With no choice left, Mizuki forced herself to scream,
"N-NARUTO!!"
