Hmm…
Izuna turns around.
"Lady Miroku?!"
He is surprised to see the shrine maiden following him.
"Can I help you with anything?"
He politely asks her since she holds quite a high status as the great priestess of the Land of Demons.
"No!" Miroku shakes her head.
Shoom…
Her eyes change into a violet, ornate pupil. The pupil has a kaleidoscopic geometric pattern, and it emits a holy and sacred power.
"You are going to die within a year!"
Miroku gazes into Izuna's eyes as she remarks such cold words.
Hmm…
Izuna frowns, and his expression turns cold.
"Lady Miroku! It's our honor to have you here in our Uchiha clan. You are a distinguished guest of the village but please don't speak such inappropriate remarks."
"No! My eyes, they are never wrong! I have seen the death of countless people with these very eyes. This cursed power of mine allows me to peer in destiny and gaze at the fate of a person, the matter of life and death!"
Miroku shakes her head.
Izuna has a livid expression as he glares at her. He activates his Rinnegan, ready to manipulate her memories.
'I can't allow her to reveal this news to Mei or my family. I don't want to worry them needlessly. I still have a way out.'
Izuna remembers the chakra fruits he plucked previously.
Shiing…
He infuses some chakra in his left eye to invade Miroku's mindscape.
Shoom…
The kaleidoscopic pattern in Miroku's eyes rotates and violet glows surround her. The runes in her eyes flicker brightly, and a seal appears on her forehead.
Fwish…
Izuna's memory manipulation jutsu cancels midways.
"What?!" Izuna is dumbfounded to see the abilities of his Rinnegan fail.
'I failed!'
He stares at her with trepidation.
'Is her Dojutsu this powerful? Able to counter Rinne-Sharingan's abilities!'
Miroku turns to Izuna and shakes her head.
"You don't have to be so wary against me. I won't reveal this news to any of your close family members and friends." She assures Izuna.
"Really?!" Izuna has a skeptical expression as he stares into her deep violet eyes.
"I assure you with my position as Miko!" Miroku nods her head.
"Alright! I believe in you! But why would you seek and even blackmail me!" Izuna glares at her.
Sigh…
Miroku heaves a sigh of relief. She regains her composure and her Dojutsu deactivates on its own.
"Before I start, I would explain the history of Land of Demons to give you an idea of my request."
"Hmm… I am listening!" Izuna nods his head.
Miroku starts her tale.
"A few centuries ago,
A very powerful otherworldly demon invaded the Shinobi World. Its goal was to conquer the entire world and establish a one-thousand-year kingdom.
The demon led a very powerful ghost army and corrupted the minds of various clans of the Land of Demons to do his bidding.
Many forces rose in resistance but were ruthlessly crushed by the army of the demon."
Miroku pauses and stares at Izuna.
Hmm…
'That demon must be Moryo. As far as I know, the demon sealed beneath the land of Demons is Moryo.'
Izuna nods his head as Miroku continues.
"Back then, the youngest son of the Senju clan leader; Kenshiro Senju ventured through the world to seek a purpose for his life. On his journey, he came across the princess of the Land of Demons who was desperately escaping from the chase of the demons.
He rescued her in that desperate situation. The princess informed him of the grim situation of Land of Demons and sought his help.
Kenshiro Senju and the princess gathered a group of fallen clans to resist the invasion, but they were too powerless to keep the demons at bay.
In the end, the princess used a forbidden artifact from the era before the Rikkudou Sennin and summoned a Shinigami from the other world."
Miroku takes out an old parchment from her pocket and passes it to Izuna.
Hmm…
Izuna glances at her and grabs the parchment. He curiously inspects the parchment.
"This is…"
A cloaked figure is sketched on the parchment. The figure has a scythe in its left hand and a book in its right.
'A book!'
Izuna's mind jolts at the image of the figure.
'Could this be?!'
A certain purple cloaked figure appears in his memory. Izuna intently inspects the drawing and notices a seal on the figure's right hand.
'No way! It can't be!'
His face turns pale.
"This parchment records the incident of the battle between Kenshiro-sama, the princess and the demon."
Miroku is focused on her explanation and fails to notice Izuna's pallid expression.
"To combat against the Demon, the Shinigami enhanced the physical abilities of Kenshiro-sama. He granted him a powerful vitality and a large chakra reserve. The Shinigami also taught him the art of the Fuinjutsu!"
"I… I see!" Izuna nods his head as countless thoughts run across his mind.
"The princess wasn't suited for a direct battle so the Shinigami enhanced the spiritual aspect of her body. With those powers, the princess manifested the 'Reigan' or the 'Soul Eyes."
Miroku points towards her eyes.
"That's the name of my Dojutsu! These eyes allow my soul to return to the past when I die. I will resurrect in my past body with the memories of future events. This allows me to alter my fate to some extent and avoid perilous circumstances.
I can also foresee the death of someone and my eyes nullify all sorts of spiritual attacks."
Miroku reveals her Dojutsu prowess to Izuna.
Hmm…
Izuna folds the parchment and turns to her.
"Why would you reveal such secrets to me?" Izuna curiously stares at her.
"Because your fate is intertwined with mine. If you die, then I will die too." Miroku calmly states the reason.
"Lady Miroku! Your words are quite misleading! Someone might think you are hitting on me!" Izuna chuckles
Ah…
Miroku immediately recognizes the fault in her words.
"NO! NO! I didn't mean it like that!" She has a flustered expression.
"On our first encounter, my Dojutsu activated subconsciously and I saw you perish at the hands of the demon." Miroku tries to sort out the misunderstanding.
"It's alright!" Izuna shakes his head as a calm expression appears on his face.
"I won't die and neither will you!" He assures her.
"But…"
"Izuna! Here! Here!"
Mei waves her hand.
"Coming!"
Izuna gulps down the remaining wine and walks towards the rest of the group.
Miroku stares at the departing back of Izuna with a conflicted gaze.
'Isn't he afraid of death?'
"Miroku! So, you are here! I have been looking for you!" Kushina grabs her hand.
"I will introduce you to my family."
----------------
In the corner of the venue,
Onoki is silently scrutinizing the various clan heads and powerful shinobis of Konoha.
"While other villages degraded from the third shinobi war, Konoha has prospered even further."
He tightly clenches his fists.
"Not only that…"
Onoki turns his gaze to Minato and Kushina.
"Even the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze and the Uzumaki princess are still alive!"
Onoki has several questions in his mind, but there is no one to answer them.
'Is this a ploy of Konoha? With such strength and manpower, they can easily annex the rest of the hidden villages. Also, that jutsu two weeks ago!"
He has a grim expression on his face as he weighs the ups and downs of war.
'With this marriage, Konoha and Kiri have formed a permanent alliance. Then there is Sunagakure, who won't even dare to lift a finger in presence of the 'Silent Shinigami'. It will most likely adopt a neutral stance, just like the Third Shinobi War.
That leaves Iwa and Kumo. If we join hands and attack Konoha, then Kiri will flank Kumo from sides and the formation will fall apart.'
Onoki clicks his tongue and gazes at Izuna.
'This brat has become the pillar of Konoha. With him around, it's impossible to win against Konoha.'
Sigh…
Onoki rubs his forehead in frustration.
Similar thoughts run through the members of Kumogakure as they brainstorm to seek a solution and save themselves from the impending disaster of Konoha.
Hmm…
Izuna senses two penetrating gazes focused on his back.
He turns around and notices Onoki and A sitting in corners.
'I almost forgot about them!'
He nudges Mei and Tsunade and points towards the Iwa and Kumo group.
Meanwhile,
Izuna walks towards Rasa, who is happily chatting with Sakumo.
"Lord Kazekage!" Izuna addresses him.
Rasa turns around and notices Izuna. Cold sweat runs down his spine as he remembers the incident four years ago.
"Co… congratulations! Izuna Uchiha!"
Rasa straightens his back and regains the bearing of a Kage, but his voice falters.
"I have good news for you!" Izuna directly jumps to the business.
He waves his hand towards a corner.
Naruto and Sasuke walk towards him with Gaara in tow.
"You can take your son back to Sunagakure! I won't forgive you for your crimes but I won't separate a child from his family."
Gaara walks in front of Rasa and bows his head.
"It has been a while, father!"
'What?!' Rasa is flabbergasted to see Gaara's tame behavior.
'Is he really Gaara, my son?! When did he turn so docile!'
Hmm…
Izuna senses Rasa's confusion and answers.
"The seal devised by you Suna shinobis is so primitive that even a kid can inscribe it. I have tweaked the seals and removed their flaws."
He turns to Gaara and waves his hand.
"You are ready to meet your family!"
Gaara turns to Izuna. Tears flow from his eyes as he slowly opens his mouth.
"Thank you, Sensei!"
