The Five Kage Summit

Land of Iron, the temporary base for the five great shinobi villages.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, blanketing the entire Land of Iron in white.

Uchiha Xingye stood upon the ramparts of the Land of Iron, gazing out at the distant clouds.

With Obito subdued, the threat posed by the Akatsuki has been significantly reduced. However, Black Zetsu remains the greatest danger of all.

"Black Zetsu," Uchiha Xingye muttered to himself, "you are the will of Kaguya Otsutsuki, the mastermind behind this entire conspiracy."

"To defeat you, I need the power of the entire Shinobi World."

Uchiha Xingye decided to convene the Five Kage Summit, bringing the five great shinobi villages together to oppose Black Zetsu.

"The Five Kage Summit," Uchiha Xingye said. "Although the summit in the original story was not a pleasant affair, this time, I will change everything."

Uchiha Xingye descended from the walls of the Land of Iron and headed toward the venue of the Five Kage Summit.

Five Kage Summit Venue

The Kage of the five great shinobi villages were gathered together.

Hokage: Hiruzen Sarutobi (though aged, he still holds command over Konoha Village).

Kazekage: Gaara (the new Kazekage of Sunagakure, whom Uchiha Xingye once saved).

Raikage: Ay (the Raikage of Kumogakure, known for his fiery temper).

Tsuchikage: Onoki (the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, cunning and experienced).

Mizukage: Mei Terumi (the Mizukage of Kirigakure, beautiful and powerful).

Uchiha Xingye, representing Konoha Village, also attended this summit.

Uchiha Xingye's seat was right next to the Third Hokage.

The various Kage flashed a look of surprise upon seeing Uchiha Xingye.

"Uchiha Xingye," the Raikage said, "I heard you have subdued several members of the Akatsuki, including Kisame, Sasori, Kakuzu, Konan, and even the Six Paths of Pain."

"Your strength is truly shocking."

Uchiha Xingye replied: "Lord Raikage, you flatter me."

"I only subdued the members of the Akatsuki to stop the Eye of the Moon Plan."

"The goal of the Eye of the Moon Plan is to plunge the entire Shinobi World into the genjutsu of the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

"Everyone will become puppets, living forever in a false dream."

The Tsuchikage frowned: "Infinite Tsukuyomi? When was this plan conceived?"

Uchiha Xingye said: "This is the ultimate goal of the Akatsuki."

"The mastermind is a man named Obito, who used the Akatsuki in an attempt to launch the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

Mizukage: "Obito? Wasn't the Uchiha clan supposed to have been wiped out?"

Uchiha Xingye said: "The Uchiha clan was not completely wiped out; there are survivors."

"Obito is one of them, but he chose the wrong path."

The Kazekage looked at me, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "Uchiha Xingye, I know your strength."

"If not for you, Sunagakure would have long since been destroyed by the Akatsuki."

"I owe you a favor."

Uchiha Xingye said: "Lord Kazekage, there is no need to speak of favors."

"We are all part of the Shinobi World and should join forces to fight against the threat."

The Third Hokage said slowly: "Everyone, I am already aware of the matters Uchiha Xingye has spoken of."

"The Akatsuki does indeed exist, and their goal is to collect all the Tailed Beast and launch the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

"If the Akatsuki succeeds, the entire Shinobi World will fall into an endless nightmare."

The Raikage snorted coldly: "Then let us attack the Akatsuki directly and wipe them all out!"

Onoki shook his head: "Raikage, things are not that simple."

"The strength of the Akatsuki far exceeds our imagination, and they are scattered all over the world."

"If we act separately, we will easily be defeated one by one."

The Mizukage nodded: "The Tsuchikage is right."

"We need to formulate a detailed plan to defeat the Akatsuki."

Uchiha Xingye said: "Everyone, I have a suggestion."

"Since the goal of the Akatsuki is to collect all the Tailed Beast, we should prioritize protecting them."

"The Eight-Tails is in Kumogakure, the One-Tail is in Sunagakure, the Two-Tails is in Kirigakure, the Three-Tails is in Iwagakure, the Four-Tails is in Iwagakure, the Five-Tails is in Iwagakure, the Six-Tails is in Kirigakure, the Seven-Tails is in Takigakure, and the Nine-Tails is in Konoha Village."

"The eight Tailed Beast are scattered across the five great shinobi villages; if the Akatsuki attacks them one by one, it will be difficult for us to protect them all."

Raikage: "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Xingye said, "I suggest we Form the Shinobi Allied Forces and concentrate all Tailed Beast for protection."

"At the same time, we must take the initiative to strike and eliminate the Akatsuki."

The Kazekage nodded, "I agree with Xingye's proposal."

"The threat posed by the Akatsuki is too great; we must join forces to oppose them."

Onoki pondered for a moment before finally saying, "I agree to Form the Shinobi Allied Forces."

"However, the allied forces require a commander. Who shall take on that role?"

The Mizukage replied, "Naturally, the strongest among us."

"Xingye, your strength far surpasses that of the other Kage; you should become the commander of the allied forces."

The Raikage let out a cold snort, "Although Xingye is powerful, he is, after all, still young."

"Is it truly appropriate to let him lead the allied forces?"

The Third Hokage said, "Raikage, while Xingye is young, his wisdom and capabilities far exceed those of his peers."

"Furthermore, Xingye's understanding of the Akatsuki far surpasses our own. Letting him serve as commander is the most suitable choice."

The Raikage remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded, "Very well, I agree."

"However, Xingye must prove that he has the capability."

Xingye said, "Lord Raikage, I understand your concerns."

"Give me three days, and I will show you my capabilities."

The Raikage sneered, "Fine, I will wait."

Xingye turned to all the Kage, "Everyone, before we Form the Shinobi Allied Forces, I need to show you something."

A crystal ball appeared in Xingye's hand, displaying a map of the entire shinobi world.

On the map were marked the locations of the Akatsuki bases, the range of their members' activities, and the distribution of the Tailed Beast.

"This is detailed intelligence on the Akatsuki," Xingye said, "including their plans, base locations, and member movements."

"I have collected all this intelligence through my system, and now I am sharing it all with you."

The Kage looked at the map, shock flashing in their eyes.

"Xingye," Onoki said, "how did you obtain this intelligence?"

Xingye replied, "I have my own channels."

"Everyone, the threat of the Akatsuki is far greater than you imagine."

"If we do not respond in time, the entire shinobi world will fall into danger."

The Kazekage said, "Xingye, Sunagakure is willing to fully support the Shinobi Allied Forces."

"We will dispatch all our elites to participate in the fight against the Akatsuki."

The Mizukage said, "Kirigakure is also willing to join."

"We will dispatch all the forces of Kirigakure to coordinate with the allied forces' operations."

Onoki said, "Iwagakure agrees."

"We will dispatch all Iwagakure ninja to join the allied forces."

The Raikage said, "Kumogakure also agrees."

"The Eight-Tails will be protected by us, and we will dispatch the strongest ninja of Kumogakure."

The Third Hokage said, "Konoha Village will, of course, provide full support."

"We will dispatch all of Konoha's elites, including the Uchiha clan."

Xingye nodded, "Very good. Your decisions bring me relief."

"Next, I need to arrange a few matters."

"First, all Tailed Beast must be concentrated for protection."

"The Eight-Tails, One-Tail, Two-Tail, Three-Tail, Four-Tail, Five-Tail, Six-Tail, Seven-Tail, and Nine-Tails are all to be concentrated in Konoha Village."

"I will take responsibility for the security of Konoha Village."

The Kage nodded in agreement.

"Second, we Form the Shinobi Allied Forces."

"Each village will dispatch 1,000 elite ninja, for a total allied force of 5,000."

"I will serve as the commander of the allied forces, and the Kage will serve as advisors."

The Kage nodded once more.

"Third, prepare for battle."

"The Akatsuki will not sit idly by; they will take the initiative to launch attacks."

"We must prepare for total war."

The various Kage expressed their understanding.

Xingye spoke last: "Everyone, Black Zetsu is the mastermind behind the Akatsuki, and he is the manifestation of Kaguya Otsutsuki's will."

"Black Zetsu's goal is to resurrect Kaguya, allowing her to rule the entire shinobi world once she returns."

"If we fail, the entire shinobi world will be plunged into darkness."

"Therefore, we must fight with all our might, at any cost."

Onoki: "Xingye, do you truly understand Black Zetsu?"

Xingye said: "Black Zetsu is Kaguya Otsutsuki's son, possessing immense chakra and bizarre abilities."

"His weaknesses are Light Style and Sealing Technique; only Light Style can completely eradicate him."

"As for Sealing Technique, it can be used to seal him away."

Mizukage: "Light Style? What kind of ninjutsu is that?"

Xingye said: "Light Style is an extremely rare Kekkei Genkai that only the Otsutsuki clan can use."

"I obtained Light Style chakra through the system, and now I can use Light Style techniques."

Raikage: "And what about the Sealing Technique?"

Xingye said: "There are many types of Sealing Technique, the most powerful of which is the Dead Demon Consuming Seal."

"However, the Dead Demon Consuming Seal requires the price of one's life, so I do not recommend using it."

"I will develop a new Sealing Technique specifically to seal Black Zetsu."

The various Kage nodded, indicating their understanding.

Xingye stood up: "Everyone, the Shinobi Allied Forces are about to be formed, and we are about to face our greatest challenge."

"But I believe that as long as we are united, we will surely be able to defeat Black Zetsu and protect the peace of the shinobi world."

Kazekage was the first to stand up: "Xingye, I believe in you."

"Sunagakure will support you with all its strength."

The Mizukage also stood up: "Kirigakure is the same."

Onoki and the Raikage stood up one after another, expressing their support.

Third Hokage stood up last: "Xingye, Konoha believes in you."

"The Uchiha clan will fully cooperate with you to confront Black Zetsu."

Xingye looked at the Kage of the five great shinobi villages, a flash of gratification crossing his eyes.

"Thank you, everyone," Xingye said, "With your support, we will surely succeed."

After the Five Kage Summit concluded, the various Kage returned to their respective villages to begin forming the Shinobi Allied Forces.

Xingye remained in the Land of Iron to continue drafting a detailed battle plan.

Three days later, the Shinobi Allied Forces were officially formed.

The five great shinobi villages each dispatched 1,000 elite ninja, and a total force of 5,000 gathered in the Land of Iron.

As the commander of the allied forces, Xingye stood before all the troops.

"Everyone," Xingye said, "we are about to face an unprecedented challenge."

"The Akatsuki and Black Zetsu are the greatest threats to the entire shinobi world."

"However, as long as we are united, we will surely be able to defeat them and protect the peace of the shinobi world."

The morale of the allied forces soared, and everyone shouted Xingye's name aloud.

"Xingye! Xingye! Xingye!"

Xingye watched the high-spirited allied forces, a flash of determination in his eyes.

"Black Zetsu," Xingye muttered to himself, "your doomsday is approaching."

Just then, the system's notification sound rang out.

[System Notification: Successfully formed the Shinobi Allied Forces]
[Obtained Traits: Commander (Gold), Leadership (Red), Military Strategy (Red), Inspiration (Red)]
[Unlocked Hidden Quest: Black Zetsu's Doomsday]

Xingye was overjoyed; the Commander trait was a gold-tier trait, worth its weight in gold.

"With the Commander trait," Xingye muttered to himself, "I can better command the allied forces."

"Black Zetsu, you cannot escape."

Xingye looked at the clouds in the distance, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Black Zetsu, no matter where you hide, I will find you."

"This time, I will not give you another chance."
