Chapter 218

Title: Five Kage Meeting…

….

Yami looks Naruto in the eyes and says. “Your parents… I knew them quite well.”

Naruto looks at Yami with a shocked look on his face. Yami has never really said anything to Naruto about his parents, even the Previous Konoha Elder, Hiruzen only told Naruto that his parents died during the Nine Tails Attack.

Naruto is intently staring at Yami, waiting for him to at least say a name. “Your mother was Kushina Uzuamaki. The previous Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails.”

That hits Naruto like a lightning bolt, shocking him to his core. But Yami doesn’t stop there as he continues saying. “And your father was Minato Namikaze, the 4th Hokage.”

That shocks Naruto even more. “W -What…”

Yami smiles when he sees Naruto’s shocked face. “And we were all best friends, I even studied Fuinjutsu with them.”

….

After a while Naruto starts asking Yami a bunch of questions about his parents and Yami answers semi-truthfully, editing some of the histories and downplays some of Minato’s deeds just like he did in history books. In order to make himself seem greater.

In the end, he got bored and stealthily changed places with one of his shadow clones.

….

….

After that whole ordeal, one-month passes, and Konoha recovers it’s almost nonexistent damage that it suffered due to Pain’s attack. And so the next meeting of the Kage from the five great villages comes about.

The Five Kage come to an agreement to have this Gokage (Five Kage) meeting in the Land of Iron.

….

So two weeks later and the meeting is held in an undisclosed building in a half-circular meeting table, with Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron as the neutral party in the middle of the half-circular table. The meeting hasn’t started yet due to a certain Kage not arriving yet.

Currently, in the room, there were the Raikage A and his bodyguards, the Kazekage Gaara and his siblings/bodyguards, the Tsuchikage Onoki with his child and grandchild as bodyguards, and the last was Mei Terumi with her bodyguards. She is new at the meetings and this is the first one she has ever attended, and actually, the meeting should have started twenty minutes ago but the Hokage hadn’t arrived yet.

She still remembers that time, many years ago when she was captured by Yami, she knows that the current Hokage isn’t a bad guy. He didn’t even treat a prisoner like her bad.

..

The Tsuchikage saw the look on Mei’s eyes and said. “Don’t worry about the Hokage. He always does this. Coming late is his way of saying that he isn’t someone who needs to follow the rules. It’s his own little game of power play.”

The Raikage also snorts in annoyance at this and that is the moment when the door is opened and Yami in his Hokage uniform comes in. He also had his two bodyguards, Yoruichi and Guy, who had a calm smile except for Yami who had a smirk on his face.

“Yo! Guys, how have you been. Haven’t seen you in years and it seems like we have two new members. We seem to all be doing well don’t we? I hope your villages have been advancing as fast as Konoha has been.” As Yami says that, he has a completely serious look on his face as he sits on his own seat between Mei and Gara. Still, everyone in the room can see that Yami is simply flaunting Konoha’s advancements on everyone’s faces.

The host of this Kage meeting, Mifune doesn’t say anything against Yami. No one does really, they just clench their teeth in annoyance. What are they going to do anyway, attack him? That would just start a war that they would lose and in the end, Yami would just carve territories from them. He definitely won’t be polite about it either.

“Okay, now that everyone is here. I, Mifune, use my authority given to me by the Five Kage to declare this meeting officially started.” Declares Mifune and immediately Yami starts the discussion, as his expression goes from playful to absolutely calm.

“I plan on raising the tariffs of the foreign merchants traveling in the Land of Fire.” Declares Yami, the other Kage looks at him with narrowed eyes. They know that he wants something in return for him not doing that.

Onoki and A share a split-second glance. Coming to an anonymous decision between themselves.

“Only the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has the power to do something like that.” Says A, looking at Yami intently.

Yami on the other hand just looks at him with a side-glance as he puts his feet on the table. “Oh, yeah, I mean that I will ask the Daimyo of course. But I am pretty confident that he will agree with me.”

Everyone in the room looks at Yami with a strange look on their faces.

‘You couldn’t be more obvious, you just said that you will ask the Daimyo, it’s most likely the other way around. The Daimyo, who is conveniently your son, asking for YOUR permission to do something.’ Every one of the other Kage and their bodyguards had that train of thoughts.

But in the end, Yami smiles as he sees the other Kage’s expressions. “Anyway, if our relationship was to get closer I wouldn’t-… I mean the Daimyo wouldn’t do something like that. Let’s say that we, for example, helped each-other hunt down some Akatsuki members, that would for sure bring us all together. Like a very dysfunctional family… I take dibs on being the drunk dad.”

The Raikage, contrary to his usual hate towards Yami. He agrees with Yami, not on the last sentence of what he said but everything else. His brother was recently kidnapped by Sasuke Uchiha, which is with the Akatsuki now, so he is definitely willing to work with someone like Yami to help get his brother back, or in the worst case, at last avenge him.

…..

After some discussions, and snubbing at each-other… that is when suddenly a White Zetsu appears in the middle of the room and yells out loud. “SASUKE UCHIHA IS HERE!!! I wonder where he could be hiding right now. Can you guess?”

Fwosh!

The Raikage immediately takes action and grabs the White Zetsu by his neck. “Tell me where Sasuke Uchiha is.”

The White Zetsu smiles at this. “How about a gam-”

The Raikage immediately breaks the White Zetsu’s neck when he sees that the thing is just stalling for time.

A turns towards his bodyguards and says. “C, Darui, let’s go!”

Boom!

He breaks a wall and goes outside, searching for Sasuke.

Yami has a smirk on his face during the whole thing. “Isn’t this nice, it seems like a certain little Uchiha traitor has come here.”

Onoki looks at Yami when he says that. “You aren’t going to look for him then?”

Yami gives a side glance towards Onoki. “Why would I look for him, when he will come to find me.”
