Cloaked figures stood inside a dark cave, once again performing a jinchuriki sealing ritual with the giant structure Gedo Mazo. In the center of the room, was the unconscious body of the eight tailed Ox jinchuriki, Killer Bee.

"I am quite satisfied with the recent success we achieved even after the major drawback of losing the rinnegan, as team Taka managed to take in the Hachibi. Now let's begin the sealing, the procedure might take more time to complete than it previously did." Announced the new leader Tobi. After his defeat at the hands of Naruto and the loss of Nagato, this was probably a good start for his plan.

Every new Akatsuki member started to channel chakra to their rings, waking up the Gedo Mazo. Soon tendrils of chakra started to reach out from it, aiming for Killer Bee's body. The jinchuriki's body started to levitate, however, the moment the chakra absorption should have started, a poof of smoke appeared in the place previously occupied by host's body to be replaced by one of the severed tentacle of the jinchuriki's transformed state.

"It seems the jinchuriki managed to trick you, Sasuke. I can't really blame you though, even with my Sharingan I did not detect any genjutsu from this fake body. Furthermore its chakra level was consistent with a body tired from an all out fighting with you and Suigetsu" Tobi said in his usual stoic voice. If he were to be honest, he was shocked when Sasuke and his team were successful in capturing the Killer Bee. Eight tail jinchuriki was not someone who could be defeated by Sasuke.

Sasuke fumed at the thought of being made a fool but he promised to test his power once again at the Kage Summit by eliminating the Fifth Hokage, ' Tsunade Senju."

Tetsu no Kuni

It took two days for Tsunade and her escort to arrive in Tetsu no Kuni, the journey was quite calm though the constant challenges between Gai and Kakashi really started to get on her nerves. If not for Hashirama, who was enjoying the show, she would have knocked either one of Kakashi or Gai.

The blonde Hokage and her staff reached their destination, a huge Samurai Fortress. They were escorted to the meeting room where every other delegation was already waiting for them. Gai was already shouting how shameful it was to arrive last and how he would punish himself for that. 

Around a curved table sat four of the Kages and on the top level were their bodyguards, all looking over their own Kage to make sure no one made a move on them.

Since Tsunade had lowered her hats to the back, everyone could get a view of her face which the Kage's took notice of with intensity, each with their own reasons for doing so. For the Raikage it was the obvious fact that Tsunade looked beautiful, for Tsuchikage he did not think she was suitable to lead a village, Gaara was familiar with Tsunade and had no reaction and for the Mizukage, it was because she made her feel insecure of her looks.

"I am glad that you could make it, Hokage-dono." An older man greeted, looking very wise and experienced. "We were notified of the recent events which happened in the Konoha by Fire lord's spoke person. I congratulate you on becoming the Hokage once again"

Tsunade looked around her, finding herself in the center of the meeting; to her back was a curtain with the kanji of Fire written. To her far right was the Mizukage, who was eyeing her with a strange look. Next to the Mizukage to hes near right was the Kazekage, Gaara. To her near left was the Tsuchikage, who looked like he had a bad tumor on his nose and to his far left was the Raikage, whose build could intimidate anyone in the room if they were not on the same level as another Kage. All of the Kages each held the insignia of their village in a high banner behind their seat.
