Chapter 85 - Five Kage Summit

Kisame approached Bee and said "I'll cut your legs off and take you back to avoid you from transforming further". Itachi suddenly sensed strong chakra signatures approaching and said "Hurry up Kisame, Someone is approaching". Kisame said "I'll deal with them if they come". Itachi said suit yourself and went into the shadows. Kisame lifts his Samehada trying to cut off Bee's legs when the Raikage appeared with his chakra cloak. Soon, Darui, Samui and many other ninjas landed besides the Raikage.

Bee woke up. The Raikage said "Bee, lets do it". Bee said "Ok my brother". Suddenly they both disappeared and said "Double Lariat" and Kisame's head flung away saying "You two sure are fast". Itachi then appeared and took Samehada in his hands and said "I'm leaving for now. We'll be back for the Jinchuriki later" and disappeared by using crows. The Raikage frowned and said "The Akatsuki dare enter the village, we've lost contact with yugito as well. That guy was a rouge ninja. Call for a kage meeting".

Some distance away from Kumo, Itachi dropped Samehada to the ground and said "You can come out now". Samehada opened its mouth and Kisame crawled out of it unharmed. He then said "Itachi, why didn't you attack them?" Itachi said "We are not here for an all out war. Besides, it's too risky to face an entire village". While they were talking, a sporal portal appeared and a masked man came out of it. Itachi and Kosame looked at him and the masked man said "So, you failed to capture the eighttails. Fine, we'll do it later. Pain is dead".

Kisame frowned and asked "How? Who killed him?" The masked man looked at Itachi and said "It was your brother Itachi. He killed pain and I was late to arrive at the scene, but I managed to recover his body". Kisame asked "That kid, we saw him when we went after the ninetails". Itachi thought 'So you've become strong Sasuke'. The masked man then said "We'll leave now. We've to plan further as Nagato's death was unexpected". Both Itachi and Kisame nodded and all of them left to the hideout. In the hideout there were Kabuto & Danzo who joined the Akatsuki recently.

Back at the leaf village, Kakashi was standing in front of the memorial stone and spoke "Why Obito? Why did you hurt the village? You wanted to become the Hokage and protect the village". I appeared behind him and said "Kakashi, I'm sorry for speaking rudely earlier". Kakashi turned around and looked at me and said "It's fine Sasuke. I was a bit shaken up after learning that Obito is alive". I nodded and said "It's Ironic isn't it Kakashi, Minato was killed by his own student. Same thing happened to Hiruzen and Jiraya was also almost done in by his student".

Kakashi nodded and asked " Obito changed so much. He was just like Naruto back in the days". I shook my head and said "Kakashi, don't compare the two. He was nothing like Naruto. Naruto would never hurt you or anyone in the village under any circumstances. He doesn't even have a shread of hatred towards the villagers who treated him like shit. But Obito is no better than Danzo. He wants to destroy the world because he lost a girl who didn't even have feelings for him. He was obsessed with Rin. According to me, Even if that accident didn't happen, Obito might have turned rouge anyway.

Kakashi asked "How?" I said "Because of Rin Kakashi. Rin liked him like a brother and thats it. She actually had feelings for you. She would have rejected him anyway and Obito's one sided obsession would have eventually forced Rin and be attacked by you to protect her. You know how this goes. Either way, he didn't value the village or seeked recognition like Naruto. He only wanted to be Hokage to impress Rin. Think about it and you will understand". Kakashi nodded and said "Please go easy on him". I smiled and said "You know what Kakashi, even after all that he's done, Minato also told me the same thing. But my reply remains the same. I can forgive him for killing the Uchiha clan, but I can't forgive him for 2 reasons. Attacking the village and killing Naruto's mother".

Kakashi contemplated and said "Can I speak with him just once before...." I interrupted him and said "Sure Kakashi. You can ask him the reason he did all this. I'll definitely give tou this chance before I kill him". Kakashi said "Thank you sasuke". I nodded and then an Anbu landed in front of us and said "Uchiha Sasuke, the Hokage wishes asks you to head to the office immediately". I nodded and said "Lets go and see what's happened Kakashi". Kakashi nodded and the both of us went towards the Hokage's office. I knocked the door and Tsunade said "Come in".

We entered and I asked "What's the urgent matter Tsunade san?" She replied "Sasuke, Kakashi, it's good you two are here. The Raikage has requested for a Five Kage Summit. Apparently the Akatsuki attacked Kumo's jinchuriki. Tsunade frowned and said "It was Itachi". I said "Don't worry Tsunade san. I'll take care of him soon. He also wished to end his life by my hands". Tsunade let out a breath of relief. She had contemplated on what to do with Itachi since she received the letter from the Raikage because she knows his circumstances and also the fact that he's my brother made this more complicated for her. So my quick answer relieved her.

I then looked at Kakashi and spoke "Kakashi, if you want to meet Obito, you need to attend this meeting. There's a good chance he'll show up there". Tsunade asked "Why do you think so Sasuke?" I answered "I think he'll appear to warn us and what better place than the Five Kage summit to warn all the Kages at one place?" Tsunade contemplated and Kakashi asked "What does he want to warn us about?" I replied "He will warn everyone to surrender the remaining jinchuriki or he will attack the villages using the remaining tailed beasts he has or something like that. He might even attack the summit to show the power of the Akatsuki as well".
