After saying this, Obito left the place using his Kamui. Kabuto had already mastered the 'Edo Tensei Technique'. The reason he is stalling for time is that Kabuto made a deal with Black Zetsu.

----

The day when Black Zetsu found Kabuto.

"Can you resurrect Madara-Sama at his peak?" asked Black Zetsu.

"Yes, only if I can obtain the body of Uchiha Madara. With his body, I can not only resurrect him at his peak but also make him even stronger," said Kabuto.

"Very well, I'll provide you with Madara-Sama's body. But remember, do not inform Uchiha Obito about this," said Black Zetsu.

"The same guy who calls himself Uchiha Madara, right?" asked Kabuto, his brow furrowing with curiosity.

"Yes, indeed. However, now that his cover is blown, he no longer refers to himself as Uchiha Madara," clarified Black Zetsu, his voice low and conspiratorial.

Kabuto nodded thoughtfully, absorbing the information. "But the process of modifying Uchiha Madara's body will take at the very least 5 to 6 months," he remarked, assessing the task ahead.

"No problem. Just ensure that Madara-sama is resurrected at his peak," instructed Black Zetsu, his tone firm yet subtly tinged with anticipation.

Kabuto nodded once more, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes. The prospect of obtaining Uchiha Madara's body filled him with a sense of accomplishment and opportunity.

After five days since Killer B's return to Kumogakure, the 'Five Kage Summit' was held in the Iron Country as scheduled. The meeting took place in the same room where the previous 'Five Kage Summit' had been held.

The Raikage was the first to speak. "As you all may already know, my brother was captured by the Akatsuki, and Kumogakure has lost the Eight-Tails."

At this moment, Onoki known for his straightforward nature, interjected with a furrowed brow, "But didn't your brother, Killer B, return to Kumogakure?"

"Yes, and this means that you haven't lost your Jinchuriki, and you still possess the Eight-Tails," said Terumi, her voice carrying a note of relief.

"Yes, my brother did return to Kumogakure, but the Eight-Tails was extracted from his body by the Akatsuki," clarified the Raikage.

Onoki, his expression skeptical yet curious, interrupted with a pointed question, "Raikage, do you take us for fools? We all know that once a tailed beast is forcibly extracted from a Jinchuriki, the Jinchuriki perishes alongside it."

The Raikage's gaze hardened as he responded firmly, "The Eight-Tails was indeed torn from my brother's body, but through some cunning trickery of the beast itself, my brother miraculously survived. Let us not overlook the fact that my brother was a perfect Jinchuriki."

After listening to the Raikage's explanation, everyone fell into deep thought, contemplating the situation. They could only arrive at one conclusion: Killer B survived because he was a perfect Jinchuriki. There could be no other explanation for why Killer B survived even after the Eight-Tails was forcibly extracted from his body.

"Now that I have explained the situation thoroughly, I would like to propose that we attack Amegakure immediately without wasting time and reclaim our respective tailed beasts. If we delay, the members of Akatsuki will grow exceedingly powerful, potentially mastering the tailed beasts' power," stated the Raikage, his voice resonating with urgency and determination.

"I agree with the Raikage's proposal," added Gaara, his expression reflecting both concern and resolve. He understood the gravity of the situation and the necessity for decisive action.

"Attacking Amegakure will be futile," countered Tsunade, her tone firm yet contemplative. She leaned forward slightly, her gaze meeting the eyes of her fellow Kage, ready to present her reasoning for an alternative course of action.

"Hokage, what do you mean? Do you not want us to reclaim our respective tailed beasts?" asked the Raikage, his voice tinged with a sense of urgency and concern. The prospect of leaving their tailed beasts in the hands of the Akatsuki was a troubling one for all present.

"This is not what I meant," replied Tsunade, her expression reflecting both determination and wisdom. "What I wanted to say is that there is now no point in attacking Amegakure, as the Akatsuki is no longer situated there."

The Raikage furrowed his brow in confusion. "How do you know this?" he asked, eager to understand the source of Tsunade's information and reasoning.

"The reason is quite simple: the Hokage has healed the leader of Akatsuki," came a voice, causing everyone in the meeting room to become alert. The voice belonged to no one present in the meeting, prompting a sense of unease among the attendees. Soon after, Obito materialized in the meeting room through a vortex.

The Raikage's gaze narrowed as he fixed his eyes on Obito. "What do you mean by this?" he demanded, his voice edged with suspicion.

Obito met the Raikage's gaze with a calm demeanor. "It's very simple," he began, his tone measured yet confident. "Konoha has provided shelter to two founding members of Akatsuki: the leader and another member, Konan. These are the same individuals who orchestrated the capture of the Eight-Tails."

The Raikage's expression hardened as he turned towards the Hokage, his eyes piercing with inquiry. "Hokage, is this true?" he pressed, seeking confirmation or denial of Obito's claim.
