A Letter from Kumogakure, the Five Kage Summit

After the people from Rōran left, Shinki walked onto the sealing platform and sealed all the Ryūmyaku Chakra into his own body.

At the Ruins, Naruto Yamato Sai stood together, their faces full of questions. "Why would the Shinki know the Queen of Rōran?"

Sai shook his head. "How would I know the answer to that? ┐(´-`)┌"

Yamato said, "Shinki has traveled all over the Shinobi World, so it's normal for him to know a lot of people."

Naruto continued, "But I heard that girl say that Shinki seems to have known that queen for a long time..."

Yamato: "Never mind that. There's a reason why the Shinki isn't telling us..."

After a while, Shinki appeared, looked at everyone, and said, "Let's go, let's go to Sunagakure first and tell my Gaara about this..."

Meanwhile, outside Konoha.

The black-skinned Omoi with white hair urged the red-haired Karui behind him, "Hurry up! We have to get the letter to Konoha as soon as possible!"

"Killer B Bee has been arrested, aren't you worried?! Ծ‸ Ծ"

Karui's chest heaved as he gasped for breath, "We've been running non-stop since last night, we need to rest a bit... (｡í _ ì｡)"

Omoi: "You can rest, but what about your master!"

"A day and a half has passed since Master disappeared. He was captured by the Akatsuki, and it's highly likely he met with some misfortune..."

Red-haired Karui: "Alright, alright, I got it. Let's go!"

"I really don't know what's wrong with Sasuke from Konoha, he actually attacked Killer B! ヽ('⌒´メ)ノ"

Omoi: "It's too early to draw conclusions. Although there are eyewitnesses who say they saw Sasuke wearing the Akatsuki's black robe with auspicious cloud patterns in Valley of Clouds and Lightning, we can't be sure it was him who did it... =_="

Karui: "Anyway, it's pretty much the same. He's even wearing Akatsuki clothes! What good deeds do you think he can still do for the Shinobi World? (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"

Omoi didn't continue arguing with Karui, but instead pointed to the gates of Konoha ahead. "Konoha is just ahead! Speed up, speed up!"

On the other side.

Shinki and his group went to Sunagakure to inform Gaara of the death of Mukade. Shinki also gave him Sasori of the Red Sands's core from the medical jar.

Even the usually composed Gaara couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up to bow to Shinki, but Shinki refused, saying, "What's this? We're good brothers, no need to be so formal! (๑╹ヮ╹๑)ﾉ"

Gaara readily agreed, saying, "Do you want gold or Gemstone? I'll have them delivered shortly. Please accept them, otherwise Sunagakure will truly owe you a huge favor..."

Shinki waved his hands repeatedly. "Hey~ I've already said we're all brothers! Why are you being so formal! I want gold. ( ▿ )"

Gaara smiled and said, "Okay, wait here for a moment, I'll have someone bring it over shortly. ʘᴗʘ"

After Gaara left, Naruto, who was standing next to Shinki, muttered, "It's just a core, why does Gaara look so excited?"

Yamato explained, "Sasori of the Red Sands is extremely skilled in Puppet Technique. With this core member, the strength of Sunagakure might even reach a new level..."

Naruto: "But how are they going to use such a small thing?"

Yamato: "That's not something we should worry about. ┐(´-`)┌"

After receiving the gold from Gaara, Shinki sealed it all into a sealing Scroll. Having real gold and silver in hand gives you real power!

Afterwards, the group returned to Konoha.

Inside the Hokage's Office.

Karui and Omoi are relentlessly accusing Sasuke of the evil deeds he has committed.

Finally, the two said, "This is a matter of great importance. Almost every major Ninja Village has been attacked by the Akatsuki. Therefore, Lord Raikage has decided to convene the Kage of each Ninja Village for Five Kage Summit to discuss strategies for dealing with the Akatsuki."

"Sasuke, how could he do such a thing?"

After listening to their accusations, Tsunade said in disbelief.

Sasuke isn't as monstrous as Shinki; he doesn't have the strength to deal with a veteran Jinchūriki, let alone capture him alive...

"The black flames left by Sasuke using Amaterasu still remain at the scene," Karui said angrily.

Tsunade nodded. Although she still had some doubts, since the Kumogakure had already sent people, it seemed that she would have to ask them for details herself after going to the Kumogakure.

"Okay, I understand. I will go to your Kumogakure," Tsunade said.

"Shizune, prepare accommodations for the two guests from Kumogakure."

Shizune nodded, and prepared to leave with Darui and Omoi.

Just then, Shinki appeared with Yamato and the others.

Omoi was so startled he almost drew his sword. "Who goes there?!"

After recognizing the man's appearance, Omoi sheathed his sword. "So it's Mr. Shinki, long time no see."

"Long time no see. Hey? You two look kind of familiar?" Shinki said, a thoughtful expression on his face. "I remember now! You're the ones I captured and brought back to Konoha with Killer B last time! (´∇ﾉ`*)ノ"

Karui, Omoi:(||๐_๐)

"Those old stories are long gone. Now, Kumogakure and Konoha are allies," Omoi said with a smile.

Red-haired Karui was clearly more hot-tempered. Arms crossed, she said with dissatisfaction, "But if Konoha doesn't handle the missing-nin Sasuke's situation well, the alliance will probably break down very soon! (▼ヘ▼#)"

Shinki looked at the two people talking in unison with suspicion. "Missing-nin Sasuke? What happened to Sasuke again? (￢‸￢)?"

Upon hearing Shinki's question, Omoi opened his mouth to explain, but Tsunade behind him, said, "Shizune, take the two guests away first. I'll speak with Shinki."

After a while, Omoi and the others left, leaving only the Shinki Squad in the Hokage's Office.

Tsunade turned to the group and said seriously, "According to the letter from the Raikage, Killer B mysteriously disappeared a few days ago. Witnesses spotted Sasuke's team at the Valley of Clouds and Lightning where Killer B lived, and Sasuke was wearing Akatsuki uniforms at the time, so they suspect that Sasuke was responsible for Sasuke Killer B's disappearance."

"Furthermore, in response to the recent increased activity of the Akatsuki, the Kumogakure has decided to convene Five Kage Summit..."

Naruto reacted the most strongly after hearing this. "Sasuke would never do such a thing!"

Yamato and analyzed, "Furthermore, Sasuke doesn't seem to have the ability to capture Killer B either... →_→"

Shinki shook his head as well, saying, "Sasuke and I have already formed an alliance. I sent him to the Land of Lightning to protect the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails!"

Tsunade sighed and said, "Whether we believe it or not is not important. What's important is to make Kumogakure believe that Sasuke didn't do this. (ーー゛)"

Shinki stepped forward and said, "I'll go find Sasuke. After all, I was the one who sent him to the Land of Lightning, so I have a responsibility."
