There you go. Let me sleep now, it's 2:50 am at my country.

P/S : I am so happy with the reviews, thanks a lot. I will try my best to keep it up.

After having the conversation, Mizuki and Marida could be seen sitting on the rooftop of Namikaze-Uzumaki's estate, relaxing and smoking while staring at the sky.

"You know… When I think back about what I said to Minato and Kushina about Naruto… I kinda regret."

Marida who's enjoying smoking looked at Mizuki and threw it away as she asked, "Why will you even regret about it?"

"I don't know. For me, they don't have the right to know about Naruto's life after he left this village but I have to tell them otherwise they will keep bugging me." Mizuki inhaled the cigarette for one last time and threw it away.

"But you didn't tell them the complete story, right? You only told them half of it or maybe not even half of it."

Mizuki nodded her head, she then stated, "They don't have to know the rest of the story otherwise they will accuse me that I'm making their eldest child a killer."

"Nee-san… Remember when our chakra being absorb by the vines?" asked Marida to Mizuki.

"Yeah? Why?"

Marida continued, "Don't you feel the vines seems to be familiar?"

Marida was right. The vines seem to be familiar but she couldn't recall it until,

"That vines… it is similar to Mikhail's Hermit Violet. Don't you agree?"

Mizuki immediately stared at Marida. She was right, not only the vines produce the same sound when it was spawned but it also possesses the same energy absorption ability.

"Are you trying to tell me that-"

"Mikhail is still alive? Nee-san, you and I both know that Mikhail has a lot of tricks."

Mizuki shook her head and replied, "Resurrection is not one of his tricks, Marida. We both know that his clan doesn't have resurrection or regeneration ability. Do you forget that you are the one who bury him?"

"I know but… What if he still alive? What if his corpse was taken by Izumi or Eto or Hiruko and he was resurrected? What if-"

"Marida."

Mizuki interrupted Marida who stared at her with teary eyes and continued to say, "I will check his grave when we return to home okay?"

Marida nodded her head and about to say something when Minato interrupted both of them by yelling at them.

"Hey, both of you! You guys will sleep at here, right?"

Mizuki stood up and gazed at Minato, nodding her head.

The next day

Konoha's Council Room

"Greetings everyone, today I gather all of you to tell you bad news."

Everyone in the Council Room looked at Yondaime Hokage with a curious face. He took a deep breath and said,

"Uchiha Izumi declared war to Seven Great Nations yesterday."

Everyone gasped with one of Minato's best friend and strategic advisor, Nara Shikaku, asked,

"Hokage-sama, does she declared the war to capture the remaining of bijū?"

Minato nodded, "You are right, Shikaku."

Yamanaka Inoichi then spoke, "Is she insane?"

Aburame Shibi then said, "Insane and danger."

"I don't know how to say this but even if we work together with the other nations, we still couldn't defeat Izumi." Minato said to everyone, making them shock.

"She's only one person!! What makes you think you can't defeat her, Yondaime-sama?" asked Inuzuka Tsume to Minato.

Uchiha Fugaku then interrupted, "Don't underestimate her, Tsume. Her Mangyekō Sharingan is far more powerful than Itachi or mine."

Minato then continued, "You also have to remember, Eto the One-Eyed Owl is also working with her."

"Gimme a break. We are going to face a very powerful Uchiha and the Mother of Demons. What's next? An army of immortal people? Demons? Aliens?" said Hiashi to everyone.

"Be careful with what you said, Hiashi. Don't jinx it." Shikaku said to Hiashi seriously.

"Hokage-sama, if we can't stop her. Then, how are we going to win this war?"

"With someone's help and that person is the Dark Knight, my son."

At the same time

"Nothing has changed since I left this place."

Obito looked around and smiled when he saw a spot where he and his students always spending time. He went to that spot and sat down, touching the grass and smiled as he remembered how Yakumo and Satsuki always arguing to each other about where they should eat. He then looked at his left, gazing at the tree and remembered Naruto used to lean against it to either sleep or reading scroll.

As Obito looking at the tree that reminded his student that mysteriously disappeared in the last four years ago, suddenly,

"Oh my God… Is that you, Obito-sensei?"

"S-Sensei?!"

Obito turned around and gasped when he saw Yakumo and Satsuki staring at him with a shock while tears coming out from their eyes.

"Yakumo… Satsuki…"

Obito rose up and immediately they ran at him and hugged him. The scarred Uchiha chuckled at hugged them back.

"So, it is really you!" said Satsuki with happiness.

"Mito and Natsumi told us this morning that you came to Konoha with Yamikage and your friend!" screamed Yakumo before she wiped away her tears.

"Yeah, it's really urgent." said Obito with a small smile to the two of them.

"Wait, sensei, where's Naruto?" asked Satsuki to Obito.

"Does he still mad at us…?" Yakumo looked at her sensei.

They still remember vividly how they used to treat Naruto; calling him dead last, making fun of him with the girls, leaving him to die during chunin exams, and yet he still saves them. The day when he left the village broke their heart since they want to ask for forgiveness but Naruto coldly told them that he hates them.

Seeing the sad reaction of his students, Obito immediately said,

"Naruto is not at here right now. To be honest, he left Tsukigakure four years ago and no one knows why. Not even me. But don't worry okay? Mizuki-sama, Marida and I are going to search for him."

Obito then noticed their vest and immediately he looked at them.

"You guys are jonin now?!"

Satsuki replied first by giving him a thumbs up, "That's right! But we both not ready to take any genin squad yet."

Yakumo added, "Besides, we want to enjoy our lives first before we become a sensei."

"You both have grown up… We have a lot of things to catch up, don't we?" Obito gave a smile, showing that he is really proud of them. "Let's talk at somewhere else-"

"Yakiniku Q!!"

"Sushi Zanmai!!"

Obito looked up at the sky, mentally said to himself that something never changes while Satsuki and Yakumo bickering where they should eat.

Timeskip: After dinner

"Hey Obito, do you know where is nee-san?"

Obito stopped reading Icha Icha Paradise and looked at Marida as he closed the smut novel.

"Nope, I have no idea where she is right now. Why?"

The Emerald Kshatriya sat beside Obito and took a deep breath before she said,

"Remember the vines that restrained us-"

"You think Mikhail is still alive, don't you?"

Marida looked at Obito with a surprise face and nodded her head. Then, "You must be heard our conversation last night, right? Be honest with me, Obito. Do you think Mikhail is still alive?"

"Frankly, I still think he alive."

Obito then looked at the woman that Mikhail love so much and continued, "Mizuki was right, resurrection is not one of Mikhail's tricks but on that night, he fought Eto by himself and protect his friends at the same time."

Eto…

Hearing her name makes Marida's blood boiling. That woman not only a sadistic and terrifying person but she also interests in Mikhail for who he really is.

"Marida."

Marida turned her head to Obito who stared at her with a serious face.

"If Mikhail is really alive then we have to find him because who knows what Eto is doing to him right now as we speaking."

"You are right. Once we leave this place, let's search for him-"

BOOM!!

Both of them heard a loud explosion followed by powerful chakra that not too far from them. The Namikaze-Uzumaki family who's spending time together also felt that and in just a second, they already in combat attire.

"Minato, did you feel that?" asked Jiraiya to Minato who nodded.

"I sensed two powerful chakra signatures." Kushina spoke to her husband.

"Anbu!!" Minato screamed and two seconds later, an Anbu wearing crow mask appeared before him. "Alert everyone and make sure the civilians are safe."

The Anbu vanished from everyone's sight, leaving a single black feather on the ground.

They all then prepared to head towards the location but Minato remembered that Obito and Marida are inside the house. When he about to call for them, he realized that they already gone.

Location Unknown

"Who are you? Tell me why are you following me?" asked Mizuki as she stared at the masked woman who's standing before her.

"Someone who is going take what belongs to my friend."

Mizuki narrowed her eyes at the mysterious person and dashed towards her. She jumped and deliver a kick that aiming for her neck but the masked woman blocked it and grabbed her ankle, spinning her and threw her away.

Mizuki landed on a tree and vanished from the masked woman's sight before reappeared in front of her, delivering an axe kick that forced the mysterious person to avoid it by dashing backward. She then threw several shuriken at Mizuki who avoided all of them and performed front somersault.

The attacker knew what she's going to do so she quickly sidestepped. Mizuki then dashed towards her and delivered an elbow strike that the attacker blocked. Then, Mizuki delivered a left jab to her abdomen followed by seven consecutive punches to her chin and spinning roundhouse kick to her face but the masked woman recovered and delivered a fast jab to Mizuki's face.

Mizuki blocked it but she was thrown away and felt her hand being shock. She clenched her fist tightly and ran at her before tried to trip her with a spinning kick that her opponent avoided by jumping to the air and land on the ground. She was about to turn around when Mizuki suddenly appeared next to her and kicked her to the nearby forest.

With the trees around Mizuki, she used them as a platform to jump from one to another as the masked woman jumping away from her.

Mizuki then kicked her but the mysterious woman recovered and performed backflip twice, allowing Mizuki to appear in front of her and did an axe kick before kicked her chin by backflipping, sending her to the air.

Mizuki immediately grabbed her ankle and slammed her to the ground, causing the mask woman to bounce as she appeared above her and kicked her to the ground. She then landed on the ground just as Minato and his men appeared, surrounding both of them.

"Mizuki? What happened here?"

"This person has been following me. When I confronted her, she told me she wants to take something that belongs to her friend." replied Mizuki to Minato.

"Friend? Who is your friend? Did Izumi send you here?" asked Minato as he took out his Hiraishin kunai, resulting everyone to take their fighting stance while waiting for his signal.

The woman took off her mask, revealing her identity which made Mizuki surprised followed by Obito, Marida, Minato and a few of them. The person that attacked Mizuki is no other than Kirishima Hayami, one of Hikari's children who she banished five years ago for her failure to kill Naruto.

"Hayami?"

"Yamikage, it's been five years. I would love to talk with you but right now I have no time and I need to take back what you took from him."

Mizuki asked, "Who is he? What are you talking about?"

"It's about Naruto, Mizuki. You took his memory and power and we need it right now."

Another masked woman appeared and took off her mask, making the Yami-nin gasped especially Mizuki.

"R-Rosamund?"

"It's been a while, right? To think that we will meet again at here for this reason."

Somewhere in a secured location

"How is he?"

"To be honest, Elizabeth. It is a miracle that he still alive. He should be dead due to Mizuki's White Snake ability but somehow he is still alive."

"Saito, without his memory and power, he will certainly die."

A tall woman with long brown hair wearing unbuttoned lab coat or known as Elizabeth stared at a man with shaggy white hair who's staring at someone that sitting in a monk position with tendrils attached to several area of his body.

"He will survive, trust me okay? You are going to survive right, Naruto?"

Saito stared at the comatose Naruto with a sad smile while Elizabeth looked at them and placed her hand on Saito's shoulder.

What happened to Naruto? And what did Mizuki do to him that cause him to coma? Find out on next chapter.
