119 Meeting

Konoha.

In front of the Konoha Entrance, Minato donned in Hokage Robe with the Hokage hat on his head stood looking in front seemed to wait for someone.

Behind him was his advisor Shikaku and his Sensei Jiraya.

Only 5 days are left for the start of the Third exam.

Today Minato received the news about the arrival of the Kage.

As the leader of the village and the host, Minato himself came to welcome the guest's from afar.

"They're here."

Suddenly Jiraya said as he spotted a few fuzzy silhouettes coming their way.

"Welcome to Konoha,"

As soon as they arrived near them, Minato went forward and greeted them all.

Onoki was with two Stone Jonin, Terumi also had Ao standing behind her.

Rasa had Baki with him, and A had Darui accompanying him.

"After staying in peace for so many years, I hope you're fighting instincts haven't dulled."

Raikage, the muscle head with no politeness, provoked Minato as fighting intent burned in his eyes.

Minato was someone who defeated him in speed, so he has always considered him as a rival.

"Haha, how can it be? Please follow me."

Minato didn't care for the provoking attitude of Raikage and laughed it off.

"Konoha is a beautiful place."

Onoki sighed while looking at the prosperous village so different from the desolate stone village.

"The smiles on their faces are also enviable."

Looking at the smiles on the faces of Civilians, Terumi hoped that one day under her leadership, the residents of her village could also be this happy.

The emotions of Rasa and A were the same as Onoki and Terumi as they envied the prosperity of Konoha Village.

There have been three wars, and all of them united in every war to take this land for themselves but even united, they were never able to defeat the mighty Konoha.

Under the leadership of Minato, The Kage were taken to their assigned staying places to rest.

They would naturally be tired after such a long journey, so the crucial meeting between them was delayed till tomorrow.

_______________

Konoha.

Next Day.

Hokage Building.

On the top floor of the Hokage building, a meeting was being held at the moment, the atmosphere being heavy.

Minato sat on the seat, and behind him stood Shikaku.

On the left and right side of the table in front were Terumi, Onoki and Rasa, and A.

Behind them were their respective Kage guards.

"Recently, some Shinobi of our Village spotted the members of Akatsuki, and they seemed to have captured the seven tails."

The topic of the discussion was Akatsuki, and Onoki told them about the information he had received from the Shinobi.

They were lucky enough to survive at the hands of Kakuzu and Hidan.

"According to Lord Jiraya, all the members of Akatsuki are S rank rebels."

"The person that our Shinobi spotted was the famous bounty hunter Kakuzu."

Onoki didn't hide any information as he hated Akatsuki; he is now entirely sure that Roshi must've been captured by them.

"Kakuzu, isn't he?"

Hearing the familiar name, Minato looked towards Shikaku for confirmation.

"Yes, he's the one who killed Asuma two years ago and kidnapped Yamato and a long time ago also tried to assassinate the First Hokage."

Poor Asuma, two years ago, on his way towards Fire Temple, encountered Kakuzu and Sasori.

Kakuzu nearly had an unforgettable memory about those with high bounty.

He immediately recognized him, and despite trying hard, Asuma wasn't able to tackle them much longer and was killed.

Yamato was also required to Fukashi for his plans, so along with Kakuzu, he quickly captured him.

"Who can keep so many rebels in check, who has such strength."

Since it was an organization, Terumi knew then it must have a leader.

She didn't know what strength was required to keep so many rebels in the discipline.

Hearing her question, Minato immediately told them about his guess that Fukashi, who pretended to be Madara Uchiha, was most likely to be their leader.

"What! Uchiha Madara, how can he be still alive?"

Madara was Onoki's nightmare; whenever he remembers that meeting with Madara years ago, he can't help but feel scared.

"I think it might be true."

Terumi agreed with Minato as she quickly told what happened with Yagura and how he was controlled. Still, she didn't speak about Akagami Shanks as telling this much was already too embarrassing.

"Then we should attack them right away; we can't let such a dangerous organization grow."

Raikage also became a bit fearful after hearing the name Uchiha Madara.

Even if he is reckless, but he is not a fool; he naturally has heard about the legends about Madara and knows how dangerous he is.

"This is the reason why I have invited you; I need all of your help in finding the base of Akatsuki; only then we will be able to eradicate them."

Minato looked towards everyone expectantly, and they didn't disappoint him as everyone agreed to collaborate and find the base of the Akatsuki together.

After the meeting was over, the Kage didn't leave; since they were here, they naturally wanted to see the final round of the Chunin Exam.

The days kept passing, and as the Third exam drew near, the atmosphere became more cheerful.

But no one knew that the day they were waiting so eagerly for was far more eventful than they had thought.
