it's been a few weeks since the beginning of Kaoru's hellish torture.
the result could be seen by how good Naruto and Sasuke are at controlling their chakra, how they use Sage Mode, how Naruto uses Kyubi's chakra, and how Sasuke uses his Eternal Mangekyo.
a few days after their training started, Orochimaru told Kaoru that the research on Mangekyou Sharingan was completed. With a DNA sample from Mikoto, Orochimaru found a way to awaken Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
their foundation was really solid now, even if they got a buff from Hagoromo to fight Madara and Kaguya, and also got nerfed when their duty had finished, Kaoru believed they would not become too weak to the point they would lose against a kid.
the place Kaoru brought both of them was a very special space where the rule of life and death was almost stagnant and in chaos, which made as long as they did not die too long, a small healing jutsu and medicine were enough to bring them alive again.
this place was an accident when he, Kushina, and Mito wanted to create a farming space that Konoha used now.
'who would have thought that this place would be used like this, hahaha'
-----
at first, Tsunade's invitation to hold the Kage Summit is ignored by Kumo and Iwa, however, when they lose the Two-Tailed and Four-Tailed, they beg the meeting to be held as fast as possible, especially Raikage since he is afraid that his brother B will get kidnapped.
on the other hand, Terumi Mei who took the seat of Mizukage, supports Tsunade's idea since she has experienced the might of Akatsuki, with just one member of Akatsuki, her village was almost destroyed by the rules and policy made by the former Mizukage who was being controlled by one member of Akatsuki.
and she is not naive enough to think that she was an invincible existence, it could be said that she was smart enough to understand, that working together with other villages was the best way to survive.
now the meeting will start in one week, and Tsunade want Kaoru and Kakashi as her guard in the meeting, Kakashi has experience as Anbu captain and he was good enough to be her guard in this meeting, the reason she included Kaoru as her guard is she just doesn't want to leave Kaoru and Orochimaru does a research without any supervision.
the last time she let both of them do research, they made a Shit Bomb that will make everyone who got hit by the smoke become really stinky for a whole month, some Chunins and Jounins become their victim.
another invention was the Soul Transfer Seal, even though it was just temporary, the incident brought chaos to the entire Konoha, not only did everyone change their body, but they also couldn't use any transformation jutsu because both of them also put some strange seals.
they also put some random teleportation seals that sent people to the woman's bath, latrine pit, prison, and other places and made everyone file a complaint against them which she needed to take action immediately.
fortunately, she was fast enough to stop them before they started their plan to scare the entire Konoha with a ghost or something scary, Tsunade could imagine what kind of chaos would happen in Konoha if their plan had success.
-----
when they arrived at the meeting place, everyone took a rest for a day before they started the meeting, it was also to give Mifune, the mediator to prepare everything that they needed to ensure the meeting would succeed.
one day is a very short time and now all the Kage except for the Kazekage who is still being kidnapped are present.
the one who replaced him was Baki who was accompanied by Temari, the reason for Kankuro's absence was that he and several ninjas from Suna chose to find Garaa, and Tsunade also gave her support by sending team Guy and team Kurenai plus Sakura to become a reinforcement.
Raikage is accompanied by his brother Killer B the Hachibi's jinchuriki, Karui the red-haired tanned girl, and Omoi the scardy cat.
Tsuchikage is accompanied by his son and granddaughter, Kitsuchi and Kurotsuchi, Kaoru's comment about both of them is a hot-headed little girl and idiotic uncle.
Mizukage on the other hand was accompanied by her usual trusted vassals, the user of Hiramekare, Chojuro one of the seven swordsmen of mist, and the other person was the person that Kaoru wanted to kill since this guy who chose to betray his lord because everything has reach a peace era.
he could just go back to his village and become an instructor for the new shinobi and make sure that they are prepared if danger suddenly appears in front of them, but this guy chose to become a threat to his village and former lord instead.
looking at everyone that already present and ready, Mifune immediately started the meeting between all Kage.
"Since we all don't want to waste more time, the main reason for this meeting was to discuss the terrorist organization Akatsuki, that have been attacking all the Shinobi Village that has possession of Tailed Beasts, and the only village that still has their tailed beast was Konoha and Kumo"
however, Mei suddenly raised her hand and made a statement that shocked Kaoru since he never thought that she was that capable.
"um, sorry but, Kiri also still has their Bijuu, the six-tailed, and Utakata the jinchuriki right now has come back to Kirigakure, and taken the position of Jounin!"
now everyone knew they still had three bijuu on their side, not to mention, except for the Kyubi's jinchuriki, everyone knew both Killer B and Utakata could use the tailed beast mode.
now all Kage started to discuss their next action, and on the other hand, Kaoru who heard the information about Utakata started to make a plan, he also knew that at least Obito would come to this place to declare war on the entire Shinobi World or worst was Madara himself will come.
'there are so many variables that appear, I'm afraid that I will have to buy that skill'
and when he still thinking, suddenly he could feel a chakra fluctuation appear in the middle of the table, and also at the back of the meeting place.
'let's see, who comes this time will decide which plan I will use'
