Kale's POV

"Well what now?" The Tsuchikage asked.

"We have to form an alliance, it's the only way." Gaara said "That is our only chance to oppose Six Tailed Beasts."

"I believe the Raikage was against the idea." The Mizukage said.

"It seems nothing has happened to my Brother, but that doesn't mean I'll let Akatsuki have their way." Raikage nodded "We form an alliance and stomp them out."

"What about my village?" I asked "Danzo split with the other bodyguard."

"The rumors around that man are too great." Raikage said "We can't trust him."

"I've been looking for evidence to discredit Danzo for months, thanks to you guys I've got it." I said "But I can't go back to the village and report this, they won't believe me especially if Danzo beats me home."

"We'll pass it onto a Shinobi we trust." Gaara said.

"And that would be?" Raikage looked at us.

"My Sensei, Kakashi Hatake, will he suffice?" I asked.

"The son of the White Fang…" Tsuchikage nodded.

"He seems trustworthy." Raikage nodded "more than Danzo at least."

"Raikage we should make arrangements to find Killer Bee quickly." Shi said "If the targets are the Three remaining tailed beasts then Akatsuki are likely pursing them."

"Be quiet." Raikage grumbled "Shi get a party and contact the village to begin the search."

"Yes Sir!"

"In order to stop Madara's Moon Eye Plan we must not allow him to obtain Seven, Eight or Nine Tails." Mizukage said "Our first order of business should be to locate and secure them away from him."

"Yeah that's the smart thing." Chojuro nodded.

"Should we not count the Remaining beasts among our own forces?" Tsuchikage asked.

"Out of the question." Gaara said "They are to be protected, that is the objective."

"Madara is fighting with the beasts he has collected." I said picking up my staff "in his weakened state and with only three members of Akatsuki remaining he has no choice but to force us to drag out Fu, Killer Bee and Naruto."

"Three?" Tsuchikage said"

I used my staff to burn images into the rubble "We know Akatsuki has three remaining members, Tobi aka Madara, Kisame Hoshigaki and Zetsu, that strange white creature."

"How are you so confident they've got three members left?" Kankuro asked.

"I got a trustworthy source." I smirked.

"At any rate my brother isn't one to follow orders or strategies." Raikage explained "he would only bring chaos to the battlefield."

"I would say the same of Naruto." Gaara sighed.

"Fu's too energetic for her own good." I smiled "If she finds out we're fighting for her she'll go charging in herself."

"Very well." Mizukage nodded "Do we all accept that the three beasts are to be protected?"

"I'll share our information on Killer Bee with the other villages." Raikage said "Kazekage I'll trust you and your Leaf friend to pass this along."

"Yes." Gaara and I both nodded.

"I met with Kakashi and the Nine Tails on the way here, they're probably still in the Land of Iron and you can catch them if you hurry." Raikage said.

Sensei and Naruto are here…?

"Umm…I have something to say." Chojuro raised his hand "Well umm…one of Akatsuki's members, Kisame Hoshigaki, is a member of the Seven Swordsmen of the mist, just like me. That man has the strength of a beast and the sword Samehada, the strongest of the Seven Swords, when you put the two together you get a Beast without a tail, that's what the other Swordsmen told me. He's strong, don't underestimate him."

"Even if we do have an alliance if we're wiped out and Madara captures the three beasts it's pointless." Tsuchikage said "that's why I feel we should have them on the battlefield."

"Are you sure about that?" Mifune asked "We see before us the formation of the first Shinobi alliance, it's power an unknown quantity, Madara knows he is taking a great risk using the power of Six Beasts like this, he would not have tried to negotiate if he did not feel threatened. The Samurai wish to take part in this fight as well, since we live on this world, despite this are you still worried Tsuchikage?"

"We still need a leader." I said "Obviously it sure as hell can't be Danzo. Well Mifune…what do you think?"

"…I think the Raikage is the best option." He nodded.

"Didn't' you say his emotions made him unqualified?" Tsuchikage said.

"Now that we know the Eight Tails is alive Raikage is far more composed, what I said earlier was too hasty, forgive me." Mifune bowed "because of our cooperation earlier the counterattack was successful, furthermore the Eight Tails, a key in this war, is Raikage's brother and will listen to him."

"…Mizukage, Kazekage are you alright with that?" Tsuchikage asked.

"I will put my trust in the Raikage." Mizukage nodded.

"I also trust Raikage." Gaara spoke.

"The Leak will have no objections to following Raikage." I said.

"Onoki." Raikage said "As the only one who has fought Madara your knowledge will be invaluable, please work with us."

"Talking down to me and giving order." The old man smirked.

"You don't have to believe me but the whole world is in danger, we have to put aside our differences and work together." Raikage said.

"It's better than losing everything." Tsuchikage sighed "I'll cooperate. The alliance is hereby formed, we'll have to tell the feudal lords though."

"We should all get back and report as soon as possible." Gaara said "Kankuro, Temari gather your things."

"Excuse me Tsuchikage." I walked over.

"Hmm?"

"Do you know a ninja by the name of Deidara?" I asked "He was a member of Akatsuki with a Rock village headband."

"Yes, I'm…familiar with him." He blinked "Why.

"I fought with him, when he tried to show me his masterpiece he said your name." I said "He wanted to know…if you were proud of him."

"The old man just looked off "He's dead things like that don't matter."

"Before I go one more thing." I looked over my should as I walked off "Deidara isn't dead, he's in the Leaf village, I thought you should know he's been very helpful in giving us information about Akatsuki and when they attacked the Village he helped us fight back. I know he's a missing ninja from your village and the punishment is death but…maybe you should reconsider with him."

I headed out, got some old metal I was going to enchant for staves and met Gaara and his siblings and we went off to meet with Sensei and Naruto.
