When Sasuke and Karin had finally shown up inside the summit, the rest of the Kages were astonished to see their appearances. The Mizukage started to flirt with him, only trying to lure him in battle. Though, the others were fighting against the white Zetsu's technique and blockages.
"When did he do this?!" Mifune questioned heatedly.
"He must have used a time-delayed jutsu right before Raikage got him," Onoki said while hanging upside down.
"Shit… What is that?!" Sasuke asked as he moved away from the white Zetsu's body until he came to a realization when it contacted his left arm. "My chakras are being replenished…"
At that moment, he unleashes the power of Susanoo's hand to claw towards the other shinobi.
"Sasuke! Are you okay?" Karin asked out loud in concern.
"Looks like Mei is having a little trouble. Akatsuchi, shall we join the fight?" Onoki glanced at his bodyguard.
"YAAH!" He answered back and uses his wooden technique to cover the remaining of the Zetsu's defense.
"Hmph," Onoki grunted as he broke down the pieces of the ceiling that fell on the top of the conference table. As soon as he sees Sasuke in front of him, he decided to use one of his Genkai Jutsu to pulverize him in a gigantic cube of light, which made him disappear.
"Sasuke!" Karin cried out and stared off into space. "His chakra is gone… No. It can't be…"
"Of course they're gone. His body was smashed to smithereens and you're next, young lady," Onoki pointed out when he glanced over his left shoulder with his eyes narrowed.
Then, Gaara and Raikage A arrived back to see the chaos that ensued.
"Kankuro!" The red-haired Kazekage called out beside him to remove the spores around them.
"Where's Sasuke?!" The Raikage asked the tiny old man.
"I smashed him to bits," he smirked.
"What?! That was my job! How dare you?!" Raikage A chided.
"You still have a chance. So quit your whining, Raikage," a deep mysterious voice said, which startled everyone to look at where the person is with a mask.
He was currently holding the unconscious Sasuke over his right shoulder and introduces himself calmly. "My name is Madara Uchiha. I'm here to explain something to you and I just want to make that clear."
"What?!" Raikage A questioned.
"I want to tell you bout my goal, the MoonEye plan," Madara mentioned, much to the others' confusion.
"It appears that just as Shee said, the Hokage has fled!" Raikage A pointed out angrily.
"Yes… Thanks to Sasuke," Onoki remarked sarcastically.
Then, Madara decided to transfer Sasuke into a different dimension, using his sharingan technique from his right eye that was swirling into a circular motion.
"I have no interest in hearing the twisted plans of Akatsuki. I cannot understand you, people! Hand over Sasuke!" Raikage A crossed his arms defiantly.
"First, you listen to my explanation. I may comply depending on your answer," Madara ordered.
"Let's be calm about this, Raikage. Let's hear what he has to say, and make our decisions then," Onoki said gently.
"Tch..!" Raikage A huffed out.
Madara landed behind Karin and transferred her as well to heal Sasuke up for him.
"That must be his ability," Kankuro stated.
"Looks like time-space jutsu," Temari said narrowing her eyes at him.
"Now, then. It looks like you're all ready to listen, ladies and gentlemen," Madara hopped a step back on top of the wooden surface.
"Why is it that you seek to win Sasuke over?" Gaara asked curiously.
"A Sharingan that can activate even Susanoo is rare. I wouldn't want to let a nice pair of eyes like that slip through my fingers. In fact, I wanted to give him the opportunity to train them up further in combat with you Kages. It was I, who sent him here," he answered and continued on. "I would have liked to have him weaken you to the point where I could take you, hostage, as well. But it looks like that was too much to expect."
"Hostage? For what purpose?" Mei questioned suspiciously.
"Just to ensure that the mooneye operation plays out smoothly," Madara answered lightly.
"It certainly is a shock to hear that you, Uchiha, still lives. But why would a dead man of your calibre resort to these roundabout tactics? Surely with your power, you could accomplish anything you want," Onoki stated rhetorically.
"The wounds from my battle with the first Hokage, Hashirama, were too deep. Right now, I'm powerless. I'm nothing more than an empty shell of my former self," Madara said truthfully.
"So this 'operation' is for the purpose of returning you to your former self?" Shee asked further with a glare towards him.
"Well, that is one way of putting it. But that is not all that it entails," Madara noted.
"What are you plotting? What exactly is this moon-eye operation?" Mifune interrogated strictly.
"I would like to take my time with this tale. If you don't mind, I'll just take a seat," the masked Uchiha said gleefully.
"We're asking you what this plan of yours is!" Kankuro demanded out loud in anger.
Madara raised his index finger and told him to be patient, much to Gaara's annoyance. He finally opened his right Sharingan eye, saying. "To have everything become one with me is to achieve a 'complete form,' in which all are united."
Everyone's eyes widened in shock and figured that his plan for the shinobi world is completely absurd.
"One with you…? All united…? What does that mean?!" Onoki questioned with a glare.
"There is a stone monument passed down amongst the Uchiha for generations. Upon it is recorded the secrets the left to us by the Rikudou Sennin. Without our eyes, it is impossible to read. What's more, the mangekyo sharingan can decode more than the sharingan itself. The Rinnegan still more than that," Madara explained.
"Now, this is starting to get ridiculous. The Rikudou sennin?" Onoki questioned sternly.
"I speak the truth. The sennin existed and he left us this monument," the masked Uchiha stated.
"Enough of this dawdling! What has the Rikudou Sennin got to do with this plan of yours?!" Raikage A asked.
"Do you know why it is that he became the stuff of legend, worshipped by the shinobi world almost like a god? Therein lies the connection between that man and my goal," he explained.
"Madara Uchiha, you possess the Mangekyo Sharingan, and Akatsuki also possessed a man with Rinnegan. You must know everything that is inscribed there," Mei pointed out.
"Let's hear it," Onoki urged on.
"The Rikudou Sennin saved the world. Saved it from a monster," Madara said.
"A monster?" The red-haired Kazekage questioned quizzically.
"Gaara… You once played home to, but a portion of that monster. The monster in question was infused-form of all the One-Tailed. A being possessed of the ultimate chakra is the Ten-Tails," he concluded, much to everyone's shock.
"Surely, the beast's tails only go up to nine!" Temari argued back.
"As I said, it is fused form of all the ten-tails. The other beasts are nothing more than beings created from divided chakra of the ten-tails. By the Rikudou Sennin, of course," Madara said lightly.
"I don't like the way this is going. This is why Akatsuki are gathering the tailed-beasts?" Kankuro asked with his eyes narrowed slightly towards him.
"The Rikudou Sennin developed certain ninjutsu in order to protect the world from the Ten-Tails. Even now, the ninjutsu is being quietly passed down. The seal that creates a jinchuriki. The Rikudou Sennin was the tailed-beast jinchuriki in order to suppress its power, he sealed the Ten-tails into his own body…" Madara trailed off of his words and continued onto to tell the story of how the tailed-beast was putting mass destruction on the world, so in order to save the people, the Rikudou Sennin would put a seal onto it.
"This is all just too immense. Can a human being really accomplish anything like that?" Darui asked.
"As the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, the Rikodou Sennin was already beyond what we would call human," Madara answered.
"So you are gathering those nine pieces of the scattered chakra. That is to say, all the beasts in an attempt to gain that beyond human power for yourself. But what do you mean to do with that power?" Mifune asked further on logically.
"I will cast my genjutsu upon all the humans living upon the earth's surface. Controlling all of humanity within that genjutsu, I will become one with the world," Madara replied back truthfully, which made everyone's eyes widened in fear and sudden dismay. "It will be a world without hatred or conflict. Everything will be one with me; everything united. That is my 'MoonEye Operation.'"
"To hell with that! I won't give the world to the likes of you!" Raikage A shouted in fury.
"A peace born of illusion is nothing more than a lie. Peace only holds meaning if it is created in reality," Gaara stated calmly.
"What do you expect us to find in such a world?! It would be devoid of hope, devoid of dreams! Nothing more than running from reality!" Mei argued back strongly.
"So you mean to unite the world…? That sounds similar to what Danzo was saying earlier. But it sounds to me rather than 'uniting the world,' both of you simply want to take it for yourselves," Onoki pointed out.
"Hahaha... Well, do you five Kages think you can do any better? Surely, you should all have realised by now. There is no such thing as hope! The concept of hope is nothing more than giving up. A word that holds no true meaning. Now, hand over the remaining eight-tails and nine-tails and cooperate with my plan. Otherwise, war will be upon us," Madara stated.
"War…?" The others questioned in puzzlement.
"The Eight-Tails? What is the meaning of this?! You already took-" Raikage A was confused and got interrupted without finishing his sentence.
"We failed in the recovery of the eight-tails. He escaped from our grasp. He has achieved true perfection as a jinchuriki and a shinobi. As might be expected of your own brother…" Madara said impressively.
"Ah… I knew it. I had a feeling it would be something like this," Darui nodded in understanding, whereas Shee sighed tiredly.
"That ungrateful little-! Unforgivably! Oh, he'll taste my iron claw! He used this whole damned affair to run away from the village and have fun somewhere on his own!" Raikage A shouted vehemently.
"I will not hand Naruto Uzumaki to you," Gaara stated.
"I concur!" Mei said.
"What you say, Raikage?" Onoki asked.
"I will not hand my brother to this man!" He decided.
"Very well, then. In that case, I hereby declare the fourth ninja world war," Madara said and continued on. "I'm not a fool enough to say a thing like this in jest. Next time we meet, it will be on the battleground."
With that said, he began to use his teleport technique to disappear out of their sight, leaving the Kages and the others to contemplate on what their plan should be before the war breaks out.
