Because Mei Terumi and Gaara were both currently in Konoha, they planned to head to the Five Kage Summit together.
As the three major ninja villages that had maintained good relations in the past, they held several smaller meetings before leaving for the Five Kage Summit. The main topic was roughly how to persuade Cloud Village and Rock Village to take the Akatsuki Organization seriously.
"Lady Mizukage, your Hidden Mist Village's Kaguya Seiya seems to know a great deal about the Akatsuki Organization. Does even he not know what the Akatsuki Organization is planning by collecting the Tailed Beasts?"
Inside the barely rebuilt Hokage Office Building, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, sat in the seat of honor. Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage, sat to her left, while Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage, sat to her right.
Ever since news had come from Cloud Village that Killer B, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, had gone missing, Tsunade and the others understood that the Eight-Tails had also fallen victim to the Akatsuki Organization.
Of the nine tailed beasts, aside from the Three-Tails inside Mei Terumi, every other tailed beast had already fallen into the hands of that mysterious masked man.
Furthermore, according to Minato, who had been brought back through Impure World Reincarnation, that mysterious masked man was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' Rampage.
The Akatsuki Organization's members were S-rank Rogue Ninja from various villages, so they knew everything about the Five Great Ninja Villages. Yet even now, the Five Great Ninja Villages remained completely ignorant of their enemy's purpose.
Although intelligence was also a resource and a form of wealth to ninja, with things having reached this point, Tsunade still hoped that Hidden Mist Village would share its intelligence for the greater good.
Seeing everyone present turn their eyes toward her, Mei Terumi's mouth twitched.
