Chapter 116 - Five Kage Summit Preparation.

The next day Ren is once again meeting with Tsunade in the Hokage Office, with him there is Shizune, Kakashi, Jiraiya, Shikaku and the elders Koharu and Homura.

Ren was the first to talk even if he had some inklig about the topic they were about to discuss "So why did you call for us Tsunade-same?" and Tsunade looked around and seeing that everyone was accounted for said "Yesterday an envoy from Kumo came and gave me a letter from the Fourth Raikage A... he notified us of his wish to hold a Five Kage Summit... the second one since grandpa gave the Bijuu (Tailed Beast) to the others hidden village... It will take place in the Land of Iron in 2 weeks, and every Kage can have only two escorts each".

Homura then asked "What is the subject of the summit and will you take part in it?" it is Jiraiya who replies "It's probably about Akatsuki and the fact that they have 8 of the nine Bijuu" but Ren correct them "They have 6 of them... Hachibi escaped they only have a portion of his Chakra...and the same is with Sanbi he is with us as me and Karin developed a new Fuinjutsu that gave Isobu his freedom in exchange for his support... In simpler words, the Sanbi is free to roam everywhere he want but he has a connection with one of our members".

And while the others were shocked by the news, Tsunade asked "And why I heard of this now for the first time?" and Ren with nonchalance "Because we were under the threat of the Akatsuki attack... now can we go back to the main topic... The Five Kage Meeting"

Then Shikaku says "I think that it is best that Shizune-san and I go with the Hokage-sama and that Kakashi's team come as an escort together with the ANBU" hearing that most of the participants seem to acknowledge his suggestion but the elder Koharu says "That is unacceptable in Kakashi's Team there is the Kyubi's Jinchuriki, he should stay here...".

But Shikaku counters "And near Naruto there are some of our strongest... and Naruto himself reached a scary level of power..." before the discussion could escalate Jiraiya that was silent until now said "What do you think Ren?".

Hearing Jiraiya's words everybody looked at the young man, who smiled and said "I think it's better to change Shizune-san with Kakashi-san... after all, I'm pretty sure that fake Madara will make an appearance in the summit, to 'request' the surrounding of the Kyubi and Hachibi's Jinchuriki, but when the Kage will refuse he will declare war on all the five hidden villages...".

Then Shikaku asked "Is he really capable of fighting all the five ninja villages alone?" and Ren "He isn't alone... he has an army of artificial beings capable of perfectly emulating anyone down to the chakra signature, and all with jonin level of Chakra... and this is only the things I know of, I do not know what other nasty surprise he has...".

After that Ren and the other spent a few hours planning the details for the coming Five Kage Summit, meanwhile, Obito was meeting once again with Zetsu, who had just come out from the ground and said "Bad news! Nagato failed, he even used Gedō, Rinne Tensei no Jutsu (Outer Path, Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique) to revive all the people he killed, he was in some way conviced by Uzumaki Naruto the Kyubi's Jinchuriki... and with this, we still have the Hachibi and Kyubi left and even worse the Fourth Raikage called for a Five Kage Summit to deal with us, they will meet in the Land of Iron in two weeks...".

Obito looks at Zetsu then says "I can't believe that Nagato used that Jutsu... it was supposed to be used on Madara... what a betrayal... Uzumaki Naruto that brat threw a wrench in my plans..." then Zetsu asked, "What are you going to do now? Will you make a move?".

Then Obito looks at the sky and says "I had enough of begin cautious, it's time to hurry and implement the 'Moon's Eye Plan'... Now let's move toward the Land of Iron".

At the same time in a hidden underground structure in the Land of Hot Water, in a laboratory full of glassware especially test tubes, beakers, flasks of colored liquid, distilling columns, condensers, burettes, Bunsen burn, with various chained creatures varying from human to some kind of chimeric beast with a white mask on its face, and a hole on his chest.

Near an operating table, with another of these masked creatures chained on it, a big half-human half serpent begin with a demonic white mask with purple markings and a head full of long black hair was "researching" this other one when he finally said "So this is it! Why didn't I make the connection sooner... These beings give the same feeling of the Shinigami from the Shiki Fūjin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal) ... only his presence was a lot stronger and overwhelming... he is the next step of the evolution of these Masked Beasts... and so is mine... but how to reach that level of power... no matter how much I eat the last step of removing this mask isn't getting closer...".

Then having finished studying the Masked Beast the half-serpent killed it by crushing his head then said "The Shiki Fūjin is a sealing technique developed by the Uzumaki clan to call upon the power of the Shinigami... To call upon... The power... Yes, that's it! The Jutsu takes a fraction of the power of the Shinigami... not summon him... If I can eat that power maybe I can complete this last step... Unfortunately, I can't use jutsu anymore, but that is easy to fix...COME HERE!".

Then after a minute a new figure came inside the lab, a is a lean-built young man of average height, straight white hair with a light-blue tint, almond-shaped purple eyes, he wears a purple, sleeveless shirt with blue pants, sandals, and a belt around his waist with water bottles attached to it, and next to the bottles a katana with a black scabbard and a gold guard in the shape of the kanji for Water, he is Suigetsu who as soon as he came inside said "What is it that you need Orochimaru-sama?".

And Orochimaru says "You have to learn and do a Jutsu for me... After that, we can finally move... you can expand your collection... and I can finally have my revenge...".
