"We're late!"

"Will you shut up? It's only been five minutes," Temari snapped, irritation flashing on her face.

"... Yeah, which means late."

Nearing the summit room, Gaara could only sigh, the bickering of his siblings since the last hour bringing the reaction. He couldn't even ask them to be quiet as it might present him as his old-self which he was still trying to change.

Finally… Nodding towards the guard who opened the door to the room, the Kazekage entered, Temari and Kankuro parting their ways towards the area meant for escorts.

As he ambled towards the sitting area, Mifune, the five kages, and Jiraiya glanced at him. Jiraiya-sama? … must be for his experience in the battle.

He took in the countenance of everyone. Tsunade and Jiraiya's faces expressed clear relief, the duo nodding towards him with small smiles. Besides them, Mizukage also smiled, a bit seductively while looking him up and down.

Next to her, the general of samurais also shared a single nod while the Raikage looked unimpressed and next to him, the Tsuchikage supported a clearly irritated expression, both the kages barely sparing him a glance.

"Greetings everyone," Gaara voiced, pulling back the only empty chair. "I apologize for the delay," A picture of Temari unwilling to leave the hot springs and Kankuro's unending trip to the local stores, flashed in his mind. "Something urgent came up regarding the village."

"It's alright, Kazekage-dono," Tsunade waved off the apology. "All of us arrived just a couple of minutes ago."

"Stop patronising him, Hokage," All eyes turned towards Onoki, the diminutive man glaring at the Kazekage. "He is late despite being the one to call us; if he can't adhere to punctuality, then he should at least value others' time."

"It isn't a big deal, Tsuchikage," Tsunade refuted in the same tone. "If it were your village, I'm sure you would have done the same."

"I agree with Hokage-dono," The Mizukage's sweet voice drew the attention to her. "Considering the situation with Suna, I won't be surprised if Kazekage-dono has to attend messages mid-summit."

The Tsuchikage closed his eyes in irritation and taking this as an indication that he won't interrupt any further, Gaara mentally sighed. Still, I will have to be careful of my words.

"Moving on," Mifune calmly interrupted any further conversation. "Since all the esteemed Kages are present, I would ask Kazekage-dono to address the summit." The samurai general took in the visages of everyone before shifting his gaze towards the Kazekage.

Gaara nodded towards Mifune before clearing his throat. "First of all, I would like to thank you for attending the summit at such short notice," Pausing, he gauged their reactions.

The Hokage and Mizukage nodded while the Raikage continued with the indifference. It was the Tsuchikage who shook his head in irritation. "Already showing the inexperience, Kazekage?" He glared at the red-haired male. "Nobody taught you that a Kage is bound to attend the summit if and when called? You… "

"Let me finish, Tsuchikage," Gaara interrupted the shorter Kage, the latter amplifying his glare at the interruption. "We have a serious issue under-hand which not only concerns me but you also; it's for the better if we keep our personal issues aside."

"And since when have you followed the rules?" Tsunade pointed, unable to resist the throwback. "Last time I checked you didn't attend the summit at the time of Hyuga affair or even before that when Minato called for a peace summit," The blonde Kage crossed her arms beneath her bust, raising an eyebrow at the shorter Kage.

Tsuchikage clenched his fists, cheeks tightening in anger. "Don't even… "

"ENOUGH," Everyone halted as the Raikage stood up, slamming his hands on the table, a furious expression on his face. The walls of the room began slightly shaking, the escorts immediately flashing before their Kages for safety.

"I did not leave my village to see you fools bicker like a bunch of children," Ai glared at the other kages. "If you can't resist the temptation then tell me, I will gladly take my leave."

A tense silence befell the room, the escorts tightening their grips around their weapons for any unwanted activity.

The Raikage was still standing and glaring at the other Kages when Mifune calmly cleared his throat. "I must agree with Raikage-dono. This summit was called to discuss a serious threat and not to pass such derisive remarks at one another."

"So, I would urge all of you to let this summit progress amicably and direct your escorts to clear the area." Initiating, the samurai general snapped his fingers, his guards relaxing before clearing the area.

The Kazekage was next, Temari and Kankuro nodding towards him before leaving. Neji followed them while Jiraiya took his place beside Tsunade. Yugito and Darui left afterward followed by Akatsuchi and Kurotsuchi in line with Chojuro and Ao.

"Kazekage-dono, please continue."

Nodding towards Mifune, Gaara took in the visages of everyone. "Last month, a Khamseen team was dispatched to inspect the centuries old tremors of Suna. They found the source in the sleeping winds valley where a strange rock had emerged."

"Strange because there were no signs of it ten years ago. Moreover, the entire surrounding area for several miles was affected… and all signs were leading towards the rock."

The Hokage and Mizukage nodded in understanding. Ten years were not a big time to cause landscape changes. The reasons must be some external causes.

"As soon as the shinobis reached near the rock, a loud explosion threw them off. The next moment, Kaga had emerged and immediately attacked the shinobis. It wasn't even a battle but a massacre; only one of my shinobis was spared for giving us the warning."

"As per warning, Kaga appeared in the village a week later, immediately making his intentions clear: one way or another, Suna was to be destroyed. We tried everything in our hands; nothing worked at all," Gaara halted seeing the Mizukage wanting to speak.

"How strong are we talking here? Your efforts, I mean."

Gaara paused, contemplating for some moments. This needs to be done. Secrecy isn't important than survival and for that I need their trust. "From non-elemental to singular elemental jutsus, hijutsus, kinjutsus and even combination jutsus… "

"What?!" Onoki's face displayed slight shock and rage. "When did you begin creating such jutsus?"

The Kazekage's eyes narrowed. "Since the third shinobi war when you backstabbed us; Suna realised that even the immediate neighbors should not be trusted at all."

The Raikage and the Hokage smirked, looking at the Tsuchikage whose face morphed into that of rage but the shorter man refrained himself from any comments.

No comments followed making Gaara continue with the main issue. "Then, Kaga attacked, and for your knowledge, the decisive attack was bigger than this building" Eyes widening, all the Kages sans Tsunade, and Mifune looked sharply, slight concern flashing in the eyes of the latter.

"It was then, another stranger about whom I mentioned in the letter appeared and prevented the attack. This stranger known as Vegeta, then battled with Kaga and managed to thwart him away. It was their battle which made me realise that none of us could deal with this Kaga on our own."

"Could you describe their battle?" Tsunade asked, wanting to get anything that could help them in the future. The Kazekage was on his way to be an efficient leader but still, he was a child, a socially stunted one too. It was a possibility that he might have left some clues which could only be seen through the eyes of an experienced Kage.

Gaara shook his head, a very minute apologetic expression appearing on his face. "Unfortunately, the battle was beyond perception; tracking their movements wasn't feasible. Further, they were engaging in an aerial combat."

The Raikage let out a derisive snort, face morphed into that of clear annoyance. "This summit is nothing but a waste of time," The others especially Gaara looked at him in disbelief. "It is a well known fact that Suna is weak, and so is the Kazekage; him failing to perceive the battle is not surprising at all."

"What do you want to say, Raikage?" Gaara asked, dropping all the formalities.

Raikage simply scoffed. "I'm the fastest shinobi in the world, and I'm sure, not only you," He pointed at Gaara. "But anybody in this room cannot be see me let alone track my movements at my best," His lip curled upwards. "You should not flaunt your shortcomings as a worldwide issue."

"I agree with Raikage," Onoki added, face blatantly pleased as well as amused. "Even Second Tsuchikage and I used to engage in aerial combat, so it isn't anything special either. If time calls, I know I can defend my village."

"Then what about Senjutsu?"

Everyone looked towards Jiraiya who had uncrossed his arms, a stoned expression on his face directed at the Raikage. "You are fast, there's no doubt about that but are you faster than your father?" A raised eyebrow corroborated his expression.

Raikage's eyes narrowed. It was a widely known fact that his father - the Sandaime Raikage was unbeatable when it came to speed. He himself couldn't even react to his movements. Perhaps Minato with his space-time jutsu may be but I… "No," He shook his head once.

Jiraiya nodded. "But I faced him in the second shinobi war using senjutsu. True, I wasn't able to match him in pure speed but I managed to react to and evade most of his attacks. However, with Kaga, it was like he was able to see the future; not only did he dodge every senjutsu powered attack but I couldn't see his movements either."

The Raikage begrudgingly nodded, very well acquainted with the prowess of the toad sage. The sannin was the only one in the third war who had managed to evade his attacks; not even the famed Slug princess or notorious Orochimaru could do that.

"Then there is the issue of tremors - I believe all of our villages felt violent ripples that day."

"Indeed," Mei nodded towards Tsunade. "I was quite surprised when reports of earthquakes arrived from all over the village. We had to deploy shinobis to drive tsunami waves away from our boundaries."

Tsunade inclined her head. "None of the shinobis can cause such widespread effects leaving it to be the work of those two strangers."

"Not only that," Gaara added. "Energy so potent that even I, a non-sensor, was able to sense it due to being in the proximity, the fate of the sensors can only be imagined."

The eyes of everyone in the room widened considerably. The implications were huge. Everyone knew non-sensors could barely sense the usage of chakra and that too after years of honing their skills but if Kazekage could so easily sense it, how potent was the energy?

Further, tremors were felt in every village but the knowledge that the source was the battle of those strangers was definitely concerning. Then, there was speed: it was the most important factor in the victory; if used properly, it could even defeat opponents wielding greater strength.

However, it seemed that these strangers not only have extraordinary strength but speed also, and such combination in the hands of a single person was deadly.

"I didn't know the situation was this bad," Neji asked looking at Temari, hands crossed. Tsunade-sama had briefed about the situation but judging from her expressions, even she didn't know everything.

Temari sighed. "Yeah, the enemy was so strong, all our efforts were in vain.."

She didn't continue, a defeated expression appearing on her visage. Neji looked at her for a couple of seconds before shifting his vision towards the Kages.

What did you desert dwellers went through? Kurotsuchi mused, having listened to the conversation of the duo beside her.

We need more information. Musing to himself, Mifune leaned slightly forward on the table. "Anything else you could tell us about them, Kazekage-dono?"

"Especially their appearance, " Mizukage asked. "We must be on the lookout if they decide to target any other village."

Gaara nodded in understanding. "First about their appearance: Both of them are humanoids; Kaga has a greyish complexion, straight white hair and garbs not native to our world. Vegeta looks just like humans: fair complexion, golden short but spiky hair, and an armor piece over a jumpsuit."

"That aside, it's their origin which is concerning: both of them are from a parallel dimension." Gaara waited for any question but none arose, the Kages getting surprised but not speaking. "Kaga belongs to a group of divine beings presiding over the cosmos but was sealed on our planet due to evil ways."

"On the other hand, Vegeta is a prince of a warrior race known as Saiyans, and was tasked by the Kais to prevent Kaga from achieving his goals which are unknown."

"How do you know all this?" Onoki voiced, slight glare directed at Gaara. The brat couldn't even see them fighting, yet he was talking like these strangers had told him everything over a cup of tea. As if…

"Vegeta was the one who told me," Gaara answered.

What?! Onoki's face morphed into that of disbelief. "Do you really expect us to believe this?"

"It's up to you," The Kazekage replied calmly. It didn't matter if the others believed him or not, Vegeta was going to appear and his presence would definitely clear all the qualms, he was sure of that. ""Further, he told me to inform everyone to stay away from his battle."

Silence descended in the room, every Kage taking their time to evaluate the information so far. Tsuchikage huffed, breaking the silence after a couple of seconds. "First of all, Vigeta or whoever he is, cannot direct me actions, I will do as I see fit for my village. I… "

"You can't be serious!" The Kazekage cut in, disbelief boldly written over his face. "None of us can deal with Kaga on our own, we must work together!"

Tsuchikage stood up, an expression of anger present on his face. "Do you even realise what you are saying?! An alliance with all of you; never!"

"Stop being stubborn, Onoki," Tsuande chastised, dropping all the titles while standing up. "Suna was nearly destroyed, Jiraiya couldn't harm even his hair … hell, the entire planet shook due to his mere presence; what chance do you think you have?!"

"These desert dwellers are weak; failure isn't anything new from them. They failed to protect their bijuu, and now, they failed against this Kaga, it's hardly surprising," Onoki looked at Tsunade. "You should know better than us; after all, your village made them eat dirt three years ago, even when the invasion was executed perfectly."

Damn you stubborn bastard! Tsunade clenched her teeth, fists balling in anger. Besides her, Jiraiya stepped forward, an expression of slight rage on his face. "Don't be foolish; I already told you that even senjutsu was useless against him, what… "

"Do you take us for children?" Raikage exclaimed, halting the toad sage, visage fully serious. "You are a shinobi of another village; no matter what happens, your first priority will always be your village implying you won't reveal your best moves unless it's for the sake of Konoha."

He raised a hand, again halting toad sage. "Further, as Tsuchikage said, the strength gap between Suna and other villages is too vast to even consider the claims of Kazekage who himself is an inexperienced child. So, unless, I face this Kaga on my own, I won't even consider about forming an alliance."

This is not good. "You don't understand!" Gaara almost pleaded his point. "These beings are from another dimension; we don't know how vast their abilities are, they… "

"Dimensions are nothing new for us," Onoki again refuted the Kazekage. "Fuinjutsu is full of such concepts; the rudiments like a storage seal are based on dimensions; so don't give such useless excuses!"

Frustration became evident on Gaara's face as already two of the Kages were not in favour of an alliance. A glance at his side revealed the Hokage and Jiraiya supporting similar expression as him.

"Hmmm… " Mifune mused audibly, stroking his beard while directing the attention to himself. "We are in a dead-lock; I can't foresee us reaching any decision," He mused for another couple of seconds. "If you all are in accord, I would like to instigate voting."

All the Kages looked unsure for a moment before all of them nodded one by one. Mifune also nodded in response. "Now, Kazekage-dono and Hokage-dono are in support of an alliance while Raikage-dono and Tsuchikage-dono are against, and since I have to stay neutral in all aspects, the decision rests with the Mizukage," He fixed his gaze on the auburn-haired beauty.

The other Kages also turning towards her, the Mizukage briefly displayed a little nervousness before mentally shaking it away. "... While I respect your efforts, I am afraid I too can't agree with you in this matter."

"The reason is somewhat similar to Raikage-dono and Tsuchikage-dono; I can't drag my village into an alliance just because Suna failed to protect itself," She looked at Gaara, slight apologetic expression on her face "No offense, but even after ten years of civil war, Kiri is still stronger than Suna."

"Further, it's true that Jiraiya-dono is strong but he is a single person; even he can't compete against the might of an entire village. I don't see any viable reason to agree to the alliance."

Unbelievable… Gaara mused to himself in disbelief. He already knew that Ai and Onoki would disagree but he was counting on Terumi Mei to agree to the alliance, however, now, things were not looking good.

"You should think again, Mizukage-dono," Tsunade voiced, not at all caring if her words came as desperate or not. "Not only, the alliance will help everyone against Kaga, but also cater to the needs of your village."

"Stop influencing her decision like that," Tsuchikage immediately jumped in. "It's up to her if she wants to be a part of an alliance or not." A glare marred his face as he finished.

"I can speak for myself, Tsuchikage-dono," Mei replied in a montone before turning her gaze towards Tsunade. "The alliance itself is another reason I don't want to be a part of it. Sure, I came here undecided but after seeing the amount of respect all of you have for one another, it wasn't difficult to arrive on a decision."

Eyes narrowed, the Mizukage continued. "We are Kages, supposed to be some of the most mature shinobis in the world yet our present and future decisions are influenced by our past; seriously, you can't deny such behaviour from our shinobis."

"I can already see fights breaking between them over the issues of the past; the scars of the previous wars are still afresh, after all," She looked at Mifune. "Hence, my decision is final; Kiri will not be a part of the alliance."

That was hardly unexpected. Mifune gave a nod towards the Mizukage before focusing on all the Kages. "Since the voting… "

A body flew past the curtains at the entrance before slamming into the opposite wall, immediately followed by a harsh chuckle resounding in the summit room.

All the Kages and Mifune looked around, eyes narrowed and guard raised up. The escorts immediately flashed beside their respective Kage.

"You're right; these fools are really tough bunch."

Every eye turned towards the entrance where, clad in his signature Saiyan armour over a blue jumpsuit, Vegeta nimbly landed on the floor.

Knowing that they were treading on thin ice, Gaara immediately stepped forward. "Everyone," The others barely spared a glance at him, but it was all he wanted. "This is Vegeta, the Prince of Saiyans… Suna's saviour."

"So, tell us about yourself, Vegeta-san." Mei voiced, looking in the eyes of the golden-haired male leaning on the wall directly opposite to her.

The Mizukage's demeanor was odd. A smile almost similar to Bulma, an odd glint in her eyes and then, she was slightly rubbing one thumb over another. Is she… The Saiyan prince's nose slightly twitched. Oh… Damn humans are same everywhere. "I already told the brat here."

He pointed with his thumb towards his left at the Kazekage."I am sure he must have told you everything." Mizukage's expressions slightly deflated, smile vanishing from her face but the interest still lingered in her eyes. Too bad woman, I already have a mate.

"He did," Tsuchikage voiced. "And that's not enough to declare you and your partner as an international threat."

Vegeta glared at the shorter Kage. "Don't relate that God reject with me. Neither, I care about you and your views.."

"Don't think so highly of you," The Raikage also glared at Vegeta. "You might've fooled the Kazekage but not me." His bulging muscles not only emphasized his intentions but also his confidence in his power.

"Could you all focus on the more pressing matter here?" The Kazekage interrupted, halting any other conversation. "How to deal with Kaga?"

Vegeta was here as he said but not for long, that was sure knowing his attitude. They had to get every information they could.

"Indeed," Mei voiced her support before looking at the Saiyan Prince. "Any help will make us prepare better if and when Kaga decides to attack us."

Vegeta cocked an eyebrow. "What makes you think you can even match Kaga's prowess let alone defeat him?" He pointed at Gaara. "The fate of his village should be your answer."

"You should not judge us solely from Suna. The other villages are far stronger. No offense Kazekage-dono."

Gaara simply shook his head before looking at Vegeta who directed his focus on the busty hokage. "You think your village can make any difference?"

Tsunade's eyes narrowed hearing the tone of the Saiyan Prince. He might have saved Suna, and for that he had her gratitude but she would not just see him looking down upon her village.

She nodded. "I don't know how much you know about our world but Konoha is the strongest village; Our victory in the... "

Vegeta began chuckling in amusement, halting the blonde female. "You are a delusional lady," He again chuckled. "What do you call it? Ah! yes, village hidden in leaves! But that ugly mountain is visible from miles away."

Tsunade glared but Vegeta simply ignored it. "A bleak job compared to other villages. Besides I have seen your shinobis battle, they were hardly any better than the others."

"You scouted our villages?!"

Vegeta turned his vision towards Onoki. "Kaga wasn't coming to me by himself," Not waiting for the diminutive Kage's retort, he veered towards the others. "Nevertheless, it will be best you heed to my warning: Stay away from MY battle lest you are denied of your pathetic existence."

As soon as words left Vegeta's mouth, a potent killing intent flooded the room. The Saiyan Prince glanced at the muscle-bound Kage, amusement written all over his face.

"SHUT UP!" Ai stood up, slamming his hands on the table. "The nerve! Insulting us like we're some insects," Lighting cackled around him. "I have had enough…"

"Rakiage-dono," Mifune, while himself standing up, calmly interrupted the larger man, his calm yet sharp voice cutting through the tension. "The ground you are standing on is not only an agreed neutral location but also a sacred place to samurais… any violation of such will not be tolerated."

A stare down followed.

The commander of the strongest shinobi faction on the continent clashed his will against the general of the samurais – Neither party seemingly backing down.

The escorts, never having left from beside their respected Kages, tensed, readying themselves for the moment the volatile Kage would explode.

"Pardon me, Mifune-dono," The sweet voice of Terumi Mei effectively drew the attention towards her. "I believe a battle is the most plausible option now."

Visages turning fastidious, Mei continued. "I am sure all of us would like to know the potential threat this Kaga holds. So what better option than a battle with the same person who managed to drive him away."

Perusing silence ensued immediately. The general of the samurais started contemplating. A few seconds passed before he calmly looked at Vegeta…

"I certainly don't mind." This is what I came for, heh.

"Very well."

"Come at me when you're ready," Vegeta voiced, crossing his arms, taking in the figures of five Kages and their escorts, samurai general and his guards.

Immediately, the Raikage stepped forward. "You will be begging for mercy once I am done with you," Corroborating his words, he punched the palm of his left hand.

Vegeta scoffed. "Get the others with you; at least you'll get to share the defeat and… " He halted when Raikage started running towards him. Disappointing. It's like seeing Trunks crawl all over again.

The others decided to gauge the outcome first while preparing simultaneously.

Ai lobbed a left punch at the Saiyan Prince's face, becoming sure of his attack as his fist went beyond the dodgeable point… what?! His eyes widened when his fist met only air.

The Saiyan Prince had shifted towards left making it look like he had dodged barely at the very last moment but Ai wasn't a Kage for nothing.

A frown marred his face realising the man had made just the bare minimum movement required to dodge - a sign of someone who was sure of his movements, his prowess - a master of his art.

It wasn't good. He needed to up the ante.

Lightning cackled around his frame. Ai immediately started lobbing lightning fast punches and kicks at the man, his attacks nothing short of blurs even to his eyes.

Another punch to the face was similarly dodged. Retracting his arm, he used the motion to lodge a knee strike which was again dodged by taking a single step backwards.

Gritting his teeth, he extended the folded knee, the leg flashing towards the armored chest but the shorter man just shifted counterclockwise

A flurry of attacks followed but the end result was the same. The Prince dodged everything sparing just the required movement in the nick of time.

Dammit! Baring his teeth, Ai snarled. "Too afraid to take a hit?!"

However, his eyes widened considerably when he found his mountain shattering lighting coated punch blocked by the Prince using the index finger casually lodged between the crevices of his knuckles.

"No. Too Proud."

Eyes further widening, he looked towards the face of his opponent only to get blown by an unseen force.

Tsunade looked in shock when Raikage's tumbling body came to a halt at her feet. The muscled Kage was the strongest as well as the fastest of them; even better than Jiraya who could no doubt best him provided he was given time to prepare for senjutsu – but time in which Raikage could very well decide the battle.

The small battle had taken five seconds at most in which she was sure Raikage had lodged several deadly strikes, his body barely a blur to her eyes but his opponent…

… The Saiyan Prince had dodged all those attacks, leaving afterimages that clearly showed his smirk and crossed arms.

"Stop gawking. Let's do it together."

The slug princess jolted out of her stupor, hearing Onoki's words and seeing the older Kage levitating no doubt to take a best shot with his particle release.

Following, Tsunade kicked the ground with her heel, a chunk of earth half the size of hokage tower emerging from the earth. Twisting, she kicked it, hurling at Vegeta standing with the same smirk.

Beside her, Mei finished the seals, releasing a river of lava from her mouth which impacted as soon as the earth chunk slammed into the unmoving man.

The earth chunk broke but the pieces were immediately swallowed by hot molten lava making it look like a volcanic eruption.

"Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu."

Not a second later, a wide shining cube formed at the point of impact. It's aftermath, a second later, disintegrated everything in a couple metres area.

Except the Saiyan Prince.

Tsunade, in utter shock, spared a glance at airborne Kage who was looking at Vegeta with an unmasked shock, not at all expecting such an outcome.

Hell, even she knew it. Either you avoided particle release or got reduced at molecular level.

However, the man in front of them…

"My turn."

Kazekage stiffened when Vegeta, immediately after speaking the words, appeared at his side, a hand on his shoulder.

The next moment, the three Kages dropped to their knees… even the airborne Onoki.

Nobody saw him moving.

"You held back." A raised eyebrow followed Vegeta's words.

Sparing another moment at the almost prone Kages tended to, by their escorts, Gaara sighed. "It wouldn't have mattered."

A chuckle was his answer. "Quite wise of you. Anyway, I've made my point. Stay away or die."

Then, Vegeta was gone. A gust of wind after a second announcing the departure.

A tense silence had settled in the chamber. The faces of the Kages as well as their escorts beside them, were grim,

They were defeated and ridiculously too. They, the top most shinobis of their villages, were taken out like a bunch of novice genins.

Gaara sighed for the umpteenth time. "There shouldn't be any qualms now for an alliance."

"No," Mei shook her head once in support. "And, I apologise Kazekage-dono for denying your claims."

Raikage grunted, adding his share to the apology.

"It doesn't matter. This wasn't a routine matter."

"Kazekage is right," Onoki added, wrinkles pronounced. "In my fifty eight years of service to my village, I haven't come across such a situation. Even that… Uchiha Madara couldn't come close to this Vegeta."

The founder of the Uchiha clan was a monster when it came to shinobi prowess, only and narrowly surpassed by her grandfather Senju Hashirama. However, even they're nothing when compared to this… Saiyan.

Tsunade shook her head. "Neji, what can you tell about him?"

Neji stepped in Tsunade's view. "Nothing much, Hokage-sama. His movements were beyond my perception. However, one thing I am sure is that he wasn't using chakra. In fact, there wasn't even anything remotely close to a chakra network."

An unknown energy was at work and they didn't know how to counter it.

Again a tense silence followed in the chambers which was broken by Mifune after a couple of seconds. "The situation definitely warrants the pooling of our resources. Therefore, I, Mifune, the agreed mediator, put forth the notion of alliance among the five shinobi villages and the land of Iron."

All the Kages affirmed their support one by one.

"Henceforth, the alliance comes into existence. However, several issues need to be addressed in each of the shinobi village. Therefore, I further propose the next gokage summit after a period of seven days."

The Kages knew very well that they would have to hold meeting in their respective villages, prepare the shinobis both mentally and physically for the upcoming ordeal.

Thus they nodded one by one except the Mizukage who took in the visage of everyone. "While I agree to the terms, if it wouldn't be much of an issue, I would like to request a change in the location of the next summit to Fire country due to its relative proximity to Kiri."

"I agree to the proposal," Onoki suddenly announced, surprising the others. "If anything this is the most suitable course of action. Fire country is almost equivalent in access from other nations. Hence, besides the location of the next gokage summit, I also propose Konoha to be the headquarters of the alliance."

"I second the proposal," Kazekage announced.

After some seconds, the other three Kages also voiced their support.

"Very well. The only matter now remains is the selection of the commander of the allied forces, and I put forth the name of Raikage-dono. While Hokage-dono and Tsuchikage-dono could easily assume the responsibility but it will not bode well with their respective shinobi forces."

"Whereas the Mizukage-dono and Kazekage-dono are still getting used to their positions and the duties that come with them," Mifune calmly gazed at the visages of all the Kages. "Any objections?"

None came.

"I call this summit to an end."

Sorry for the delay. I am experiencing what they call writer's block.

Please review.
