Yare Yare. Here you go.

Izumi smiled then chuckled before laughed maniacally as she kept squeezing Mizuki's neck as her nails digging deeper into the tall woman's skin.

As for the others except Suna and Kiri-nin, they were confused at what they heard. Why did Mizuki screamed for Hokage's son? Izumi took a second to see their face and grinned madly at Mizuki.

"They don't know the true identity of Dark Knight, are they?" Izumi scoffed at Mizuki as she raised her right hand which covered by dark crimson energy, making Mizuki, Obito and Marida to terrify as they know what Izumi is going to do. "If he's not here to save you then I will kill you in front of them."

Mizuki closed her eyes as Izumi drove her hand straight through her heart, however, the moment her fingers come into contact with Yamikage's skin, yellow spark-like electricity immediately surrounded Mizuki's body and burnt Izumi entire right arm in an instant.

"ARGHH!!" screaming in pain as she letting go off the Yamikage, Izumi kicked Mizuki away as the vines that restraining everyone were completely burnt by the same energy that burnt her hand, giving a chance for Minato to attack Izumi with Rasengan but a mysterious man in a black tattered hooded cloak with demonic arm appeared and punched away Minato, saving Izumi who stared at her burnt arm with anger. "To think that he still protects you after what you did to him four years ago."

'Naruto…' Mizuki thought as she felt the energy that saved her earlier slowly disappearing away. 'That energy that protecting me earlier… it was Overdrive!!'

Mizuki's thought was interrupted by Minato, who had already recovered from the attack, calling out for her name.

"Mizuki… Just now you screamed my son's name… Does that mean…"

Mizuki didn't say anything instead she focused her attention at Izumi, cursing her mentally while blaming herself for spilling out the biggest secret. Minato kept staring at Mizuki then shifted his attention to everyone in the room. He was surprised when Gaara and Mei remained calm.

"Mizukage, Kazekage, both of already knew about this?" asked a surprised Raikage to both of them, indirectly helping Minato who was about to ask the question. They looked at A and nodded their head which made everyone shocked while angering A, "For how long?!"

They didn't answer, angering more A but Izumi drew their attention by saying,

"Of all the people that I've fought, he is the only one that gain my respect. Not just because of his strength that amazes and surpasses me every time we meet or his determination to kill me to avenge their death but also because how Naruto always force me to fight him without holding back. We almost kill each other many times but we both managed to survive."

Then, she continued, "But right now, Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto, the infamous Dark Knight and my arch-enemy, has disappear for four years and no one is going to protect you."

"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE US, BRAT!!"

In an instant, A's body was surrounded by lightning. He immediately charged at Izumi with fist, attempting to kill her immediately but his fist instead hit something unbreakable.

It is Uchiha Izumi's Susanoo. Izumi chuckled and knocked everyone away with her Susanoo that donned white armor and wields two giant swords that held together at the hilt by a metal chain.

"You are nothing but an immature brat, A." Izumi coldly said as her Susanoo grabbed A's right arm and brutally twisted it before struck his knee, causing the Raikage to scream in agony as he falls to the ground. She then kicked him to his bodyguards and said, "There's no one can stop me from what I'm going to do after this."

Izumi then declared, "I, Uchiha Izumi, declare war against the Seven Great Nation in seven days!!"

Everyone was shocked and horrified at what they heard. Mizuki rushed at Izumi and delivered fast rapid barrage of punches that Izumi blocked effortlessly. The Uchiha chuckled at her anger expression and said,

"Poor Kagami… No one including yourself can stop me. No one…"

Izumi jumped away and vanished alongside the mysterious man, leaving the Kage, Mifune and bodyguards to ask themselves…

What are they going to do after this?

An hour later

Mizuki could be seen packing her items quickly. She then left her room and went downstairs, leaving the hotel to head towards her village. As she was walking, someone called out for her but she ignored until that person grabbed her shoulder, causing her to push that person to the wall before realized it is Minato.

"Minato, what do you want?"

"My son… Tell me about my son. What happened to him? Where is he right now?"

Mizuki let go off Minato and continued to walk, making Minato to follow her too.

"I don't have time to talk about this. I am going to return to prepare for the war-"

"You can't stop her, Mizuki! You can't."

Mizuki stopped walking. He's right. She can't stop her even if she works together with others. Mizuki released a sigh and clenched her fist tightly as Minato came to her.

"Only Naruto can stop her but you have to tell me where he is right now. What happened to my son four years ago? Please…."

Mizuki nodded, "Fine, I will tell what happened to him but not at here."

"Honey, I'm home."

Minato took off his sandals as he heard someone's running. He then saw his wife, Kushina with a ladle running at him and jumped onto the Hokage.

"I miss you so much dattebane!!"

Minato chuckled as Kushina let him go and noticed that Mizuki, Obito and Marida behind him. She narrowed her eyes at Mizuki, prompting her to ask her husband in a cold tone,

"Why is she here?"

"Kushi-chan, this is not the time-"

Kushina stood in front of Mizuki and said, "You took my son away from me and now you came here to ask for forgiveness, am I right? You want forgiveness? Go get religion."

Mizuki simply said, "The only forgiveness I seek is from Naruto himself."

Kushina then tried to attack Mizuki but Minato stopped her.

"Let me go Mina-kun! I'm going to teach this bitch a lesson about taking away our son!"

"Calm down, Kushina!! She's here to help us!"

Kushina looked at Minato and asked, "Help for what? We don't need her help!"

"Uchiha Izumi has just declared war against all of us and she's here to help us by telling us where is Naruto."

Kushina calmed down and looked at Minato with disbelief. She then stared at Obito who nodded his head, causing her to drop the ladle. She took a deep breath and picked up the ladle before told them that dinner's almost ready.

At the dining room, Mizuki, Obito and Marida didn't say anything as they were being stare by the Legendary Sannin, Kakashi and the three jinchuriki of Konoha. Minato and Kushina came to the dining room with the dinner and noticed that their family making their guests uncomfortable.

"Knock it off. You are making our friends here uncomfortable." Said Kushina as she sat down next to Minato.

"Mom, why is she here?"

Annoyed with Menma's question, Mizuki coldly said, "If any of you ask me again why the hell am I at here. I'll leave, Minato."

"Alright, alright! I'm so sorry about that. Everyone, please stop asking why is she here. She's here to tell us about where is and what happened to Naruto."

Upon hearing that, they all looked at Minato and Kushina before shifted their attention to Mizuki who ask them where should she start.

"Start with the day he left the village."

Mizuki drank her orange juice and stared at the glass, gazing at her reflection that turned into a young Naruto before she put down the glass and said,

"After he left the village… He asked me about what should he do."

Flashback

Eight Years Ago

"What should I do after this?"

Mizuki looked at Naruto who's still emotionally and mentally recovered from the Konoha's Invasion. She put down her bag and knelt in front of Naruto with her hands on his shoulders, gently squeezing them as she replied,

"You can start a new life at here. Not as Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto but rather as Naruto, the legacy of Nidaime Hokage."

Naruto looked at Mizuki and let tears coming out from his sapphirine blue eyes, causing her to wipe away his tears and hug him. Then, she felt a pair of arms around her back which made her smiled as she remembered how late Tobirama told that Naruto extremely rare show affection to anyone.

Flashback End

"At first, it was quite difficult for him to adjust his life at my village. He has trust issue as well as anger issue. Whenever he's training, he will make sure his fists bleeding and broken or at least covered in bruise." Mizuki said to everyone, resulting Kushina and Minato worry about it. She then continued,

"Took him a while to make him accept that he's part of the villagers that I swore to protect. Part of my family."

"So how did he become Dark Knight?" asked Minato to Mizuki.

"Well, a month after he left Konoha, Naruto came to me and told me that he wants to become shinobi of Tsuki."

Flashback

Eight Years Ago

Knock knock!!

"Come in."

The door of the office was opened, revealing Naruto which made Mizuki surprised as she stopped doing her paperwork and looked at Naruto with a smile.

"Have a seat, Naruto."

Naruto sat down as Mizuki grabbed his hand and gently squeezing it, making his cheek a bit red.

"I came here for a request."

"About what? Is it about money? Trip or…. you want to spend some time with me in my room?"

Naruto chuckled which made Mizuki giggled before he said, "I am still young okay? Wait until I am 18."

Mizuki leaned closer and whispered, "Whenever a child wears the headband, that child is legally adult. So…."

Naruto pushed Mizuki's face slowly which made her laughed and grabbed his hand before kissed it. He then said, "I want to be the shinobi of your village."

Mizuki surprised with what she heard and asked if he is sure with what he want to which he replies yes.

Flashback End

"Obito, Marida and I trained him so hard until he eventually managed to defeat all of us without even break a sweat and that was two years after that." Marida said proudly to everyone. "His first mission… That was the reason why he was known as Dark Knight."

"What is the mission?"

At the same time

Tanzaku-gai

"Is that true?"

"About what?"

"That Uchiha Izumi declared war against all of us?"

Two Konoha-nin could be seen talking to each other while drinking their sake, unaware that a woman in a dark hooded cloak is eavesdropping their conversation. She looked at them for a moment before left the bar, heading to an unknown location.

As she's walking, she looked up at the sky and noticed a strange black bird that made her chuckled before she left the town to meet another woman who wore the same hooded cloak.

"Izumi declared war against all of us."

"That means we have no choice but to meet her."

"Do you think he will help her after what she did to him?"

"Either way, he's the only one that can stop Izumi. With that scroll in our hands, we have at least advantage against Izumi."

"What's your plan, Rosamund?"

"Head to wherever Mizuki is to take back what she took from Naruto. Let's go, Hayami."
