Kale's POV

"Long time no see." I shook Kankuro's hand "It's nice to see you too Temari."

"You as well." She smiled.

"Who's the old guy?" Kankuro asked "I thought Tsunade was Hokage."

"Lady Tsunade is…incapacitated for a moment so they sent Danzo as Hokage and I wormed my way into guarding him.

The guards had to wait in the upper level while the Five Kages met at the center table. The Raikage, a dark skinned muscular man, The Tsuchikage, a short old man, The Mizukage, an attractive but mature woman, The Kazekage, Gaara, and the Hokage, Danzo.

"Please place your hats on the table." Mifune said "You are assembled here because Raikage called a meeting, my name is Mifune and I will be the moderator. This meeting has officially started."

"I'll go first." Gaara said "Listen…"

"The make-up of this group has changed." The Tsuchikage said "To be Kazekage at your age, you must be special, you father must have taught you right, except he skipped your lesson in manners."

"Who does that guy think he is?" Kankuro grumbled.

"Be quiet." His sister scolded.

"Tsuchikage please don't interrupt." The Mizukage sighed "Continue."

"I am a former Jinchuriki." Gaara said "Akatsuki captured me and I almost died when my beast was extracted, I believe Akatsuki is very dangerous. I requested aid many times but I was ignored, except by the former Hokage, but at this point so many of the hosts have been captured that aid is useless."

"If a country had its host capture you should have tried to recover it in secret." Tsuchikage said "One who loses has no right to order the other countries around."

"Appearance, honor?" Gaara sighed "I have no time for things like that."

"Just because the beasts have been stolen does not mean we have to be afraid." The Mizukage said "It takes time and knowledge to control them, they are difficult to control."

"The only ones to ever truly control a beast are the 1st Hokage Hashirama, Madara Uchiha, and maybe the 4th Mizukage and Raikage's brother Killer Bee." Danzo said "But…"

Dammit!

"Shut up!" Raikage slammed his fist down on the table, but all the bodyguards had moved into position.

"We are here to talk." Mifune said "please refrain from such actions."

"Stand down." Danzo told us.

"Temari…Kankuro." Gaara didn't even blink.

"Ao, Chojiro I'm fine." The Mizukage smiled to her body guards, a younger boy and an older male.

Tsuchikage gave his two guards, a large man and a young girl a nod. All the guards headed back the upper level and watched the rest of the meeting.

"Konoha, Iwa, Suna and Kiri." Raikage said "Akatsuki is made up of members from your villages, and I know there are ones here who have used Akatsuki for their own purposes. I never had any intention of speaking, I called you here to see where loyalties lie."

"What do you mean by used Akatsuki?" Gaara growled.

"Go ask your elders!" Raikage yelled "You used Akatsuki in your war."

"People use mercenary forces in war to know they have experience."

"Akatsuki." Gaara nodded "I see."

"Suna used Akatsuki to try and crush Konoha." Raikage said.

Orochimaru…

"Both the Third Hokage and the last Kazekage died as a result, I think it was part of someone's plot." Raikage shot a glare at Danzo. "Kirigakure has no relations with the other countries, there are even rumors that is where Akatsuki was formed."

"To be honest, there were rumors that the previous Mizukage was being controlled by someone it may have been Akatsuki but I didn't want to make a big deal out of it." The woman said.

"You…" Raikage grumbled.

"Watch yourself Raikage." Tsuchikage said "It was because of you amassing power that other counties used Akatsuki."

"Before we break into another fight I have something to say." Danzo said "Akatsuki's leader is most certainly Madara Uchiha."

Where'd he come up with that?

"I thought he was long dead." The oldest Kage said.

"Our source is certain." Danzo said.

Deidara said he didn't know who the leader of Akatsuki was…

"As I neutral contry I must say that Akatsuki read the pulse of the nations." Mifune said "they used stability to raise suspicion. It is rare for the five Kages to meet, what say you to an alliance, till Akatsuki is dealt with."

"In this state it would be good to cooperate." Danzo said.

What is he up to?

"A chain of command must be established." Mifune said "In order to avoid confusion."

"Who would have authority over this army?" Tsuchikage said.

"You would only bicker, I ask that you allow me to choose." Mifune said "The only hosts left reside in Konoha, they will be the key, I propose the Hokage lead the alliance."

NO…he's getting just what he wants.

"If you'll allow it I'll be honored to take the position." Danzo said.

"He embodies the darkness of the ninja world!" Raikage said "He can't be trusted!"

"Then who?" Mifune asked.

"No one from our village has been involved with Akatsuki." The Raikage suggested.

"I cannot agree." Mifune said telling the Raikage to sit "You are too emotional, you cannot control an alliance with your anger Raikage, I've only offered my suggestion, the Kazekage is too young, the Tsuchikage too old, Kirigakure is too close to Akatsuki so they are out…the Hokage is the only option. The Nine and Seven tails are members of Konoha, it is only logical that the Hokage lead."

"I refuse to be in an alliance that would require me to reveal my village's intentions." Raikage said.

"Something wrong?" Kankuro asked.

"Danzo cannot be allowed to lead, it's too risky." I said.

"Relax kid." The older bodyguard of the Mizukage said "Leave it to me…I'm already on to him, Chojiro get ready."

Ao's covered eye veined like Neji and Hinata's.

Byakugan?

Ao jumped down onto the main floor and looked at Danzo.

"Hokage let me see the eye under your bandages." He demanded.

"Huh?"

"His right eye was stolen from Uchiha Shisui, Shisui had the power to invade an opponent's mind and control them." Ao explained.

"Danzo!" I snapped "Are you controller Mifune? If you are…the Feudal Lord will not stand for it!"

We've got him.

"My right eye is a reward for my fight with one of the Hyuga clan." Ao explained "My eye can see right through illusions."

"Bastard!" I snapped.

"Hey~" the floor ripped open and a pure white guy appeared.

"Zetsu?!"

"An Akatsuki!"

Everyone jumped down to the lower level and covered their Kage, except for me, I was near Danzo but leaned more towards Gaara.

"Hey guess what?" Zetsu smiled "Sasuke Uchiha, he's here, but I wonder where? Hey why don't we all look together? Come on it'll be fun!"

"Sasuke?" I hissed.

"What's he doing here?" Kankuro asked.

"The boy with the Sharingan." The Mizukage hummed.

"The one who killed Zabuza." Ao said.

"What, who fed you that line?" I scoffed "Zabuza…is a hero…If Sasuke is here you're all in danger, he used to be my teammate, I know him…he will kill all of us."

"Where is he!" Raikage grabbed Zetsu's neck.

"I'll give you a hit-Gurk!" Zetsu groaned as Raikage snapped his neck.

"There was no reason to kill him." The Mizukage scolded "We could have gotten information from him."

"There is no one inside Akatsuki who'd betray it." Gaara said.

"There is…but Zetsu wouldn't." I said.

"You with the eye, watch the Hokage." Raikage demanded as he punched a hole in the wall.

"Umm sorry about the table and the wall." Raikage's body guard sighed.

"Darui let's go!" the other bodyguard said.

"He's still as unruly as he was when he became Kage." The Tsuchikage sighed.

We all waited there for a bit, outside there were booms of thunder and explosions from what I was sure was Sasuke and the Raikage fighting.

"Ao is Danzo still controlling Mifune?" I asked.

"No…Chakra flow is normal." He said.

"It's not something I can use multiple times a day." Danzo said.

"Yeah I'll be the one who judges that." Ao told him.

"To think there was another Byakugan user…we should have killed the Hyuga sooner."

"Stop talking old man." I said.

"You won't be killing me so easily." Ao told him.

"I can't help but think that this may be connected to the controlling of the Fourth." The Mizukage said.

"Hokage techniques and Ninjutsu are forbidden here." Mifune said "And for the record…I would have chosen you anyway."

"I couldn't take that chance." Danzo said "This world must become one, just as the First Hokage gathered clans into a village we must make the ninja world one. That can't happen though discussion, doing it morally won't help…Akatsuki will destroy the world."

"He;s trying to scare you all into taking his side." I said "Ignore him."

"Are you not his guard?" the Tsuchikage said "You openly badmouth you Kage."

"This man should not be Hokage, Lady Tsunade should still be in charge." I said "I don't respect Danzo and his idea that ruling though fear and violence is the way."

"We need results!" Danzo said.

"If that is the world, if that's what humans are…then there is no future." Gaara said standing up "If you take away understanding and faith, fear is all that remains. I will never accept how quick you are to give up, how much you lack morals."

"You know nothing about running a village." The Tsuchikage said.

"I have a question." Gaara blinked at the Tsuchikage.

"Yes?"

"When did you rise above yourself?"

"Hmm…"

"What's the plan Gaara?" Temari asked "We helped The Leaf try and rescue Sasuke once but this time is different."

"Sasuke…" Gaara looked to me.

"Gaara." I gave him a nod "You have my blessing, but I'm going with you."

"Let's hurry." He nodded.

"I'm with you." I said following.
