In the conference room, Fourth Raikage A abruptly rose to his feet, his expression deadly serious.
"Every village has been warning me to protect the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, Killer B."
"And the intelligence actually says the enemy is Danzo, the former leader of Konoha's Root Squad?"
"No matter how I look at it, this sounds like a joke."
"Since when did Danzo have that kind of ability?"
Disbelief showed on the Fourth Raikage's face.
Yet all the warnings and intelligence told him this could not be false.
"Lord Raikage, the situation is complicated, and we've heard that Konoha has been destroyed."
"We cannot underestimate the strength of this mysterious organization led by Danzo. We should keep Killer B under close guard."
"And we should attend the Six Kage Summit proposed by the Rain Shadow immediately, so we can learn the latest developments as soon as possible."
The Jōnin's words around the conference table set the Fourth Raikage thinking.

"Then let's get moving as soon as possible!"
"I'll set out for Hidden Rain Village."
At this, the Fourth Raikage frowned.
"I may not like those people, but the situation leaves us no choice!"
Hearing this, the Cloud Ninja all breathed sighs of relief.
They had feared that the Fourth Raikage would refuse to attend the Six Kage Summit because of his previous rift with Hidden Rain.

Several figures flashed into view around him in quick succession.
"Are we really going to begin?"
Deidara asked
