"Heh heh heh heh, hahahaha, hahahahahaha!"
Listening from the sidelines, Madara burst into unrestrained laughter at the Tsuchikage's words. Anyone could tell he was mocking him.
"Hokage, do you have a problem with what I said?"
The Tsuchikage turned his fierce gaze on Madara. He would not tolerate such disrespect from a junior.
"A Kage who can't even keep watch over his own village's jinchūriki has no right to talk about his village's dignity. The moment the Akatsuki captured your jinchūriki, they had already ground your dignity into the dirt."
"You little brat, don't get too arrogant!"
With the Hokage insulting him to his face, the Tsuchikage slammed the table and stood up. As he moved, Akatsuchi and Kurotsuchi immediately rose from their seats behind him. After the Tsuchikage's guards moved, all the other guards sprang into action as well.
"Hey, hey, hey, everyone, calm down! Grandpa Tsuchikage, you're getting on in years, so take it easy. We wouldn't want you throwing your back out. And the rest of you, you're guards. Don't direct so much hostility at our Hokage!"
They were all guards to Kage, but not all guards were equal.
Naruto took the lead, using the Shadow Clone Technique before the other guards could even stand.
Just as Akatsuchi and Kurotsuchi began lifting themselves from their seats, Naruto was already in front of them.
Naruto pinned Kurotsuchi down with his left hand and Akatsuchi with his right. The two guards the Tsuchikage had so carefully selected could not even react to his speed.
As Naruto finished suppressing Iwagakure's guards, his clones appeared in front of Kumogakure's Darui and C.
Though the two from Kumogakure were accustomed to the Fourth Raikage's incredible speed, Naruto's speed, which rivaled his, still left them shaken.
Over on Sunagakure's side, Kankuro and Temari
