Chapter 117 - Five Kage Summit Part 1

Finally, the day for the Five Kage Summit came, and so they all meet up in the Land of Iron to discuss about the most recent topic and troubles, how to deal with Akatsuki.

In the end, Ren helped Tsunade, Kakashi, Shikaku, and their ANBU escorts move to their destination using his Bakudō #87. Sentan Hakuja (Thousand-Coil White Snake), while the other member of Baransa were near Naruto and Sasuke, in case Obito choose to fuck the plot for good.

Once they got out of the teleportation cave, Tsunade, Kakashi, and Shikaku soon notice the colder air and the snow falling, a sign that they were in fact already in the Land of Iron, touching the falling snow Tsunade says "It's amazing a 1 and half week journey become something done in an instant... It's almost like Uncle Tobirama's jutsu...".

But Ren replies "Well your uncle Jutsu is more combat based but he needs a seal to know where to teleport... while mine is more utility, escape based... And the advantage is that I only need to have been to a place before teleporting there...".

And so while talking about that the group moved toward the meeting point where the summit will take place, once they were the only ones that the samurai guarding the place let pass where Tsunade and her two escorts, and once inside Tsunade noticed that she was the last one to come, she then took the central seat on the table, while Kakashi and Shikaku hide behind the panel with the kanji of Fire on it and looked at the other bodyguard.

At the same time, Tsunade put her Hokage hat on the table and looked at the others, on her left, there is the Kazekage Gaara, and near him, there is the Mizukage Terumi Mei, on her right, there is a very short, old man with a triangular beard and a moustache that had angular corners, a big red nose and thick eyebrows, the top of his head was completely bald, although, he had long white hair on the lower half of his head which is styled in a traditional chonmage hair cut, the back of which was tied with a yellow ribbon into a topknot.

He is the Tsuchikage Onoki and is wearing a split apart green coat divided into four sections with yellow trimmings, and a red collar, underneath he wears the traditional Iwagakure outfit consisting of a light green version of Iwagakure's flak jacket and mesh armour.

And next to Onoki there is a man with dark skin with a large muscular build, blond hair combed back, a small mustache and goatee, his face has pronounced cheekbones and tear troughs under his eyes, and a prominent crease across his forehead.

He wears a white haori without a shirt underneath and wears large, golden vambraces on his wrists, he also wears a gold belt around his waist with a boar's face engraved in the center, black pants with torn ends, Kumo-nin shin guards, and shinobi sandals, he is the Raikage A.

And last, there is the one who is acting as the moderator for this summit, an old man with long, grey hair, which almost reaches down to his waist, with bandages wrapped around his head, black eyes with distinct wrinkles underneath them, a grey goatee and moustache, he wears a simple purple kimono-like outfit and sandals, he is Mifune.

Seeing that everyone was here Mifune spoke "Place your hat on the table, you are here today because the Raikage has called this meeting, my name is Mifune and I will be your moderator, the meeting will now begin!".

Then the first to talk is Gaara who says "I'll go first, listen up..." but was soon interrupted by Onoky who comment "The make up of the five Kage sure has changed, you must be something special to be made Kazekage at your age, your father must have taught you right, but apparently he forgot to instill in you any manner" and Gaara "I guess... That's why I'm here as a Kazekage" and that answer made Onoki laugh while he said "Cheeky brat!!!".

Then Mei says "Tsuchikage please stop interrupting, Kazekage please continue..." and Gaara "I'm a former Jinchuriki, Akatsuki captured me and nearly killed me extracting the Ichibi, that's why I believe Akatsuki is extremely dangerous, I requested aid from the other Kages many times but they all ignored me... Except for the Hokage... Though at this point with so many Jinchuriki captured, it's too late for aid".

And Onoki "Hmph... If a country has had its Jinchuriki captured, it has no business giving other countries orders! It's an embarrassment! You should have tried to recover it in secret! Once it's stolen you can't expect other countries to help you!" and Gaara "Appearance... Honor... I don't have time for that ridiculous old-fashioned thinking".

But Onoki add "Just because the Bijuu have been stolen is no reason to be afraid, it takes time and knowledge and skill to be able to control them, the Jinchuriki must grow with the Bijuu in order to adapt to them, even then control is difficult it won't happen immediately, right... Kazekage?".

But Mei adds "But as I told you the enemy is in grade to control the Bijuu and his host with Genjutsu like what has happened with the former Mizukage Yagura..." but at that moment the Raikage loses his calm and slam his fist into the table screaming "Quit your yapping!" while all the bodyguard come out ready to defend their Kage, Kakashi and Shikaku, Temari and Kankuro, Ao and Chojuro, C and Darui and Aktsuchi and Kurotsuchi.

At that moment Mifune says "We are here to talk please refrain from such displays of rudeness" and Tsunade that was silent until now says "Kakashi, Shikaku stand down" and following her example the other Kage order their bodyguard to go back.

After that A stands up and says "Konoha! Iwa! Suna! Kiri! Akatsuki is made up of missing-nin from your villages, and that's not all! I know that there are among you, including former Kage, who have used Akatsuki for their own purposes!! I don't trust you! I had no intention of speaking with you! I called you all here to find out where your true loyalties lie!!!"

Shocked by the revelation Gaara asks "What do you mean ' used Akatsuki' ?" and A continues "You are the Kazekage, hasn't anyone told you anything!? Go ask your elders! You used Akatsuki in your own war!"
