"Death is the only event which we can predict with absolute certainty, and yet it is the event about which the majority of human beings refuse to think at all until faced with the imminent and personal issue. People face death in many different ways; some bring to the adventure a feeling of self-pity, and are so occupied with what they have to leave behind, what is about to end for them, and the relinquishing of all they have gathered in life, that the true significance of the inevitable future fails to arrest their attention. Others face it with courage, making the best of what may not be evaded, and look up into the face of death with a gallant gesture because there is nothing else they can do . . . Still others refuse altogether to consider the possibility; they hypnotize themselves into a condition wherein the thought of death is refused all lodgment in their consciousness, and they will not consider its possibility, so that when it comes, it catches them unawares; they are left helpless and unable to do more than simply die."

Mei Sogetsu (冥草月, Sogetsu Mei) also known as Yomi (黄泉, literally "Underworld") is the daughter of the Seventh Hokage Ryoji Sogetsu and Shizuka, and the heir to the prestigious Sogetsu Clan. She is a Kunoichi hailing from Konohagakure and a former Jonn rank ninja now labeled as an S-class Criminal. She is the Jinchuriki of the Nine Tailed Demon Fox, succeeding Jin Toshihiro as the Seventh Vessel to contain the demonic Bijuu within herself. The Kyubi was sealed within her right after she was born and has since been the host of the demonic Bijuu, containing the beast within all throughout her life. She is currently the only Jinchuriki of her generation not to be affiliated with a Hidden Village or Shinobi nation any more since she abandoned her village in pursuit of power and personal goal, now operating as a Missing-Nin and Rogue Shinobi.

Mei is the creator and founder of the organization known as Akogyō (罪深い; Literally meaning "Sinful") and is currently trying to take control of the world using Akogyō. She is also the general (大将, taishō) of the Land of Iron meaning she is the supreme leader of the whole country, having taken control of the country after forming her Akogyō orginization. She has caused much disaster throughout the shinobi world as the Jinchuriki of the Kyubi, causing revolts and rebellion amongst the hidden villages and the five great shinobi nations, recruiting various criminal shinobi to her cause and destroying those who stand in the way of her goal of conquering the shinobi world. Unlike previous Jinchuriki hosts or even her predecessor, Mei has gained complete control of her inner Bijuu, something which hasn’t been done since the time of the third Jinchuriki of the Kyubi, Naruto Uzumaki and as such is a rarity even amongst tailed beast hosts.

She has gained a terrifying reputation as a shinobi and is considered to be a powerful ally to those who joined her cause and a threat to those who oppose her. A powerful shinobi in her own right she is known throughout the ninja world as The Dark Priestess (黒巫女, Kuro Fujo) and Izanami (伊邪那美命, She Who Invites). She is the main antagonist in Shadow Rage's future Naruto stories and is set to appear 25 years after the current storyline.
