At the Kage Summit all of the Kages had arrived once Tsunade arrived with her two guards, they all seemed slightly impressed yet taken aback by her choice in guard a Sannin and the famed copy cat ninja. "Tsunade-Hime was it really prevalent to bring both a Sannin and the copy cat ninja?" Tsuchikage asked looking between the two men she brought with her.
"I am supposes to believe you didn't bring your best Onoki-Sama," Tsunade asked coolly.
"That's enough," Mifune the leader of Tetsu no Kuni.
"We will be near if you need us, Tsunade-Sama," Kakashi said before he and Jiraiya left. Then Tsunade's eyes fell on someone she didn't expect to see.
"Gaara-Sama it is good to see that you are well," she said as she took her seat.
"You too Tsunade-Hime," he replied in his emotionless tone.
"What is the reason we have all been called here?" the Mizukage asked looking at A, who was easily the largest man in the room.
"I have called this Summit to talk about the Akatsuki," A answered.
"So what do you suggest?" Tsunade asked.
"We need to put aside our difference take down and stop them from reaching their goals," Gaara said in a calm tone, "I would have been captured by the Akatsuki if it was not for the Kaosukage and his men."
"You are quite shame admitting you need help what kind of leader are you," Onoki said smirking.
"What of you, you lost both of your Jinchuriki; do you even know where they are at this moment?" Gaara asked coolly.
"Why you little brat," Onoki said getting to his feet.
A got up to his feet, "That's enough all of you I have not called you for help. But the fact is I know that there are some among us who have used the Akatsuki and I have come to find out where your loyalties lie."
"What is the meaning of this?" Onoki shouted, "How dare speak to us like we are trash."
"Don't play innocent, all of you have ties to the Akatsuki in some way or another and some of you have gone as far as hiring them to do work for you. Thru the Kaosukage we have learned what they are planning and he has done a lot to stop them but at a cast he has put his people in great danger while some of you fuel this these perils that face him."
"If anyone knew who this Kamikage was, maybe we would be more apt to help," Mei said in a flirty tone.
"No better title for a man of his skills," Gaara said coolly.
"We will do whatever is needed to aid him in this time of turmoil," Tsunade said.
"You have the support of Sunagakure," Gaara said.
"What the hell count Kirigakure in to," Mei said shrugging.
"What about you Onoki?" Tsunade asked.
"Very well," he replied.
"Now we have this settled we need a leader of this new alliance," Mifune said looking between the Kages.
"Why not this mysterious Kamikage," Mei answered.
"He can't but his replacement can," the Raikage said and then coming into sight was Aya.
"Who is she?"Onoki asked.
"I am the acting Kaosukage, and I step to the helm and lead our armies," she said bowing respectfully, "and when our fearless leader returns I will stand down and let him take the lead."
"If he is so fearless where is he shouldn't he be here with us?" Onoki asked.
"I don't see where that is any of your concern I am here in his place," Aya said, "and I was selected personal by Kaosukage personal if anything were to happened to him."
"What is the plan?" Gaara asked.
"First is we need to move the Jinchuriki, the safe house was never finished and since the Shodai Kaosukage it is no longer safe to keep them there," Aya said.
"If they feel like me we will not hide in the shadows while everyone else fights," Gaara said, "we are Shinobi after all."
"Hai, then we need to find a place where we can plan our next course of action, but first we need to move the Jinchuriki we need to keep them safe until the battles start. The Shodai Kaosukage felt that they are an important part of their plans," Aya explained.
"We can still use the safe house to keep the Jinchuriki," Kakashi called down.
"How do you figure Kakashi-San?" Aya asked.
"I am sure that Jiraiya and I can figure out how to finish the seals," Kakashi answered.
"Very well then we shall use Arashigakure as the central location so we can keep an eye on the Jinchuriki in the mean time."
In a hidden location Pain looked over at Kabuto, "are you sure you will be ready in three months?" he asked the boy who his mistrusted.
"Hai, don't worry everything will be fine. Soon we while have the power to wipe out the five nations," Kabuto said smirking at Pain.
"If you try anything I will kill you," Pain said glaring at Kabuto.
"I won't dream of crossing you because I am fully aware that I cannot defeat you," Kabuto said.
"Leave me," Pain said in a hushed tone.
"As you wish," Kabuto said turning to leave the room. Then he turned to a man in an orange mask.
"I don't trust him," Madara stated, "so it is time for me to keep a closer eye on him."
"If you think that is necessary," Pain said.
"I do," Madara said watching the door that Kabuto had left from.
"What of our little guest?" Pain asked.
"That she is an interesting one it seems like the only way to get anything from her is to force it out but there are two problems with that he is a very skilled Fuinjutsu user and if we kill her well we don't know how Naruto will act."
"So you are worried he might kill the Jinchuriki," Pain stated rather than asked.
"It is a possibility we don't know much about him except he beat you without the Kyuubi's Chakra," Madara stated.
"But that isn't the real reason you are worried it's the girls Fuinjutsu," Pain said.
"Hai, we don't know what kind of Fuinjutsu that she has placed on herself you saw what she did to Orochimaru didn't you," Madara said.
"Didn't she put a seal that made it impossible to get near Itachi's sister?" Pain answered.
"Hai, and that was three years ago imagine how much she has grown since then," Madara said.
"Don't tell me you are afraid of the girl," Konan said speaking up for the first time.
"No the risk out weight the reward, as long as we have her alive we have leverage over the Kyuubi. He is becoming as bothersome as his father and as skilled," Madara said leaving.
Konoha Uchiha distract, Sureri was walking when she noticed three people all hooded one had a giant sword strapped to their back at first she thought it was Akatsuki but there were no red clouds on the cloak.
She went to follow them but a thick fog rolled in and she could see more than a foot in front of her but it soon cleared and the three were gone. She didn't know who to tell Tsunade hadn't returned yet then she remembered Neji he was ANBU after all he had to know what to do. She went running to the Hyuga compound where she found Neji training with Hinata.
"Neji there are intruders in the village, I tried to follow them but they seemed to know I was there and one of them used the Hidden Mist Jutsu and when it cleared they were gone," she quickly explained.
"Where were they headed?" Neji asked.
"The Uchiha compound," she answered.
"Is there anything of value there?"
"No not unless they have an Uchiha with them and the only other Uchiha is my brother and he already knows all of the secrets," Sureri said quickly.
"Well we better get going so we can find whoever is in this village that isn't supposed to be," Neji said then he turned to Hinata, "Hinata-Sama I shall return please wait here."
"Hai," she said in a soft voice. Neji and Sureri were off franticly trying to find the intruders. But they searched the Uchiha grounds for an hour but they didn't find anyone but there was a sign that someone had been there in the Naka Shrine the door was left open and so was the passage way to the Uchiha secret meeting place.
"Only someone with the Sharingan can read this right?" Neji asked looking around the room.
"Hai," Sureri answered looking for clues about who had been here and why.
"Are besides you Itachi and Kakashi does anyone else have the Sharingan?"
"What are you trying to say?"
"Simple that someone from the Uchiha clan that you don't know about is alive, someone else has a Sharingan that they got from an Uchiha or someone can read this without a Sharingan," Neji answered.
"Or they just want us to think that they could read this, or they came trying to read it and failed," Sureri said.
"Yes but I don't think whoever it was would have risked a run in with ANBU for and not have some way of getting what they came for," Neji replied. Then she looked down at the tablet before her and her eyes widened as her activated Sharingan ran across the text.
"Or they wanted us to find this and figure something out from the text," she had been told about this place before she had even come here but it was before she had her Sharingan. The bit that jumped out at her was the bit on the Kyuubi. This could mean that someone was planning on controlling it with the Sharingan or someone had controlled it either way it was not a pleasant thought.
"What is it?" Neji asked.
"It's nothing I am sure it's nothing," Sureri said, but known to both of them the intruders where still in the village they were just outside the shrine.
"So why did you lead them here?" the man with the sword asked.
"Insurance, it is always better to have too many than not enough," the second man said.
"So could you read the tablet?" the third hooded figure asked.
"Hai, with the Sharingan you can read some of it with the Mangekyo you can read more but with the Rinnegan you can read it all, remember we have less than three months to put everything in its place and we cannot afford to fail," the second said the three vanished as the two Shinobi emerged from the shrine.
"I think we are being watched," Sureri said looking around.
"I don't see anyone," Neji said his Byakugan activated.
"We have to tell everyone about what happened here today when they get back," Sureri said and both were gone.
When Aya returned back to Arashigakure she found a note on Naruto's desk all it said was "three months."
