Bab 92: Chapter 92. Kage Summit
Intruders were defeated.
Tsunade gave the research division Pain's bodies. They might be able to uncover something.
Tsunade " This is getting serious. We defeated them but still..... if a few of us were not here, if I fear for what would happen."
Minato nodded " Yes. Their battle capabilities are over the charts. This time we gave no chance for them to collaborate otherwise it would be us on the losing side."
An Anbu appeared this time and reported,
" Godaime sama! , Yondaime sama! Zero casualties on the villager side. A few got hurt but that's all. Everyone has been moved to temporary shelters."
Tsunade " Good. Have the medic care for them."
" Hai! "
With this order given, Tsunade turned to the others as she said
" This threat has gone unchecked for long enough. As the Hokage I will call upon the Kage Summit!! "
Minato wasn't that surprised, he agreed with Tsunade. But that couldn't be said for the others, every ninja present were excited.
Tsunade ordered " Send message to the other villages. We will convene the Kage Summit at the Land of Iron in Ten days.
The objective is to discuss the threat possessed by Akatsuki and the one behind them!! "
Several Anbu's kneeled before Tsunade and acknowledged. They disappeared with body flicker carrying their Hokage's message.

Mountains near Amegakure.
Inside a worn-out building.
Blood was splattered all over the place. A man with red hair could be seen kneeling on a pool of blood. A women lay beneath his feet, unknown whether dead or alive.
Nagato looked towards his friend, his fingers trembled as he stroked her face. He asked in a coarse tone
" why?...."
A sound answered his question " You are not needed anymore. All I need now is the Nine Tails and everything will be in place."
That was the last straw for Nagato, his body emitted terrifying amounts of chakra. But along with it, his eyes bled.
" ALMIGHTY PUSH!! "
Repulsive force erupted with Nagato as the center. He shielded Konan's body but everything else was destroyed.
The entire mountain was levelled. Nagato's hair turned white from red. He was barely standing. He looked at his friend body and cried.
" Sorry, Konan..... I couldn't complete his wish. I couldn't protect you..... sorry..."
Suddenly Nagato felt pain from his chest. He looked down to see a black rod piercing his heart. Nagato turned his head, infront of him stood a man wearing face mask with only an eye opening to its right.
Nagato asked weakly " How? You.. should ... atleast ... be hurt! "
Obito " That you don't need to know. Since you are of no use, Zetsu!! "
A black shadow came out from the ground, it bound Nagato's body stopping him from dying. Half of Nagato's body was now entirely black.
Black Zetsu " Hihihi.... with his life we should be able to bring master back."
Obito silently nodded. Ripple formed surrounding B.Z and Obito as they disappeared.
Both of them didn't notice a figure flash and Konan's body vanished along with this figure.

It's already been two days since Tsunade called for Kage Summit. Every village responded, all of them had their Jinchurikis taken. They considered Akatsuki a serious threat to all of them.
Tsunade and the rest were discussing who would accompany her for the Summit. A Kage is only allowed to bring two guards with them.
Sarutobi concluded " So it's decided. Ryu and Shisui will go as Tsunade's guard."
Ryu protested " Why me old man? You got plenty of people here who fits the job. Come on, it's boring during a meeting."
Sarutobi smirked " What? You have nothing else to do anyway. Just go and that's final."
Ryu cursed inside ' Damn you old pervert!! You are definitely taking revenge!! '
Shisui patted Ryu's shoulder.
Everyone dismissed themselves. Ryu asked Sarutobi, Minato and Shisui to stay. Tsunade was confused.
Ryu opened his mouth " Tsunade san, this meeting will definitely lead to an all out war with Akatsuki. At this moment Leaf cannot remain separated."
Sarutobi sighed when he heard Ryu ' So it's finally come to this.'
Tsunade also understood what Ryu meant " But it's not easy. Every ninja in Root will only obey Danzo. They will never take order from another."
Yes. Ryu intended to completely merge Root with Leaf's military. But Root members were trained from a young age, their loyalty completely lies towards danzo.
Shisui spoke " Don't worry we have a plan."
Sarutobi was enlightened " Ah! You plan to use Kotoamatsukami!! "
Ryu nodded " Yes. But this won't work on Danzo. His body already possess Hashirama's cell, any Genjutsu put on him will be broken at some point.
At it's core Kotoamatsukami is a Genjutsu. So we can't put one on him. So there is only one way.... "
Sarutobi looked resigned " Is there no other choice? "
Shisui spoke this time " If he is truly willing to change, why not? But Sandaime, you must not tell him about this. You can watch from a distance, if you feel like their is a chance for him to change. We will let him live.
Otherwise..."
Sarutobi sighed. He knew his friend very well. He would never change his ways, if he could it would have happened years ago.
Tsunade warned " Just make sure not to kill unless necessary."
Shisui responded " Yes. Hokage sama."

Root...
This night was different. Usually Root would have it's members gaurd it's surroundings but today every gaurd seemed too tired. They fell asleep where they stood.
Along the pathways, every ninja was on the floor. Not a drop of blood could be seen, it seems they are just asleep.
Inside a wide hallway.
A man with bandages over his right eye and arm stood facing two people.
Danzo asked " So Sarutobi agreed to this? "
Shisui spoke coldly " You took Sandaime sama's kindness as his weakness and done many evil deeds. You deserve to die."
Danzo was still calm " And what would a fledgling like you know about war and it's darkness."
Shisui " I know enough. Atleast I know what's human and what's not.
You would kill anyone for your own greed. You speak like you would do anything for the village but infact you are nothing more than a coward longing to become Hokage. For that you would go to any end.
That arm of your is the evidence for that!! "
Danzo wasn't surprised, he slowly unwound the bandages over his right arm. It revealed a lot of Sharingans embedded onto it. He also removed the bandages over his right eye.
Danzo " You should remember this eye, right? Although I don't get how you got your new eyes but still..... this eye of yours is truly great."
Shisui wasn't angered, he pitied Danzo for Not knowing about that eye.
Ryu interrupted " So you won't surrender? "
Danzo spoke coldly " Sarutobi is too soft. One day he will lead this village to it's destruction. He isn't fit to be Hokage, he isn't and that princess definitely won't do either."
Ryu spoke with disdain " And you would?"
Danzo " Why wouldn't I? "
Ryu shook his head ' Old man..... we tried.'
Within the shadows, a figure silently left. His back looked exhausted.
