Chapter 57
With the upcoming Kage Summit being held in the Tetsu no Kuni (Land of Iron) we left a day early. Minato will be going into the meeting with 2 escorts, Has.h.i.+rama, who is disguised, and Hiruzen, the Sandaime. Per the agreement to his partic.i.p.ation in the summit, I was told to not be there with Konoha, but since the Raikage never specified that I couldn't be there with a different Kage other than my own I can still attend. I told Minato about me and the Mizukage and because of my relations.h.i.+p with her, the relations.h.i.+p with the Kirigakure improved in turn. Because of my strength no one dared question my relations.h.i.+p with Mei. Konoha was too afraid to lose or anger me but that wouldn't happen since my roots are quite deep, being a part of the Sarutobi clan and all.
When I told Minato that I would be accompanying the Mizukage in the meeting he thought nothing of it, if anything he was glad I loop holed my way into the meeting. I might even get a kick out of their reactions. We arrived in the Tetsu no Kuna (Land of Iron) at a good time. We got situated in one of the inns and waited for one of Mifune's men to give us the time the meeting will start. I met up with Mei, Ao and Chojuro where they were staying. The ones to escort Mei would be me and Chojuro, Ao would be on standby. I spent my time with Mei until we were called for the meeting to start.
Mifune: Welcome to the Tetsu no Kuni, lady and gentlemen.
Raikage: Arrrgh, what is HE doing here?! The agreement for the k.u.mogakure attending was that HE was NOT to be here!
Minato: As you can see Raikage, I have my 2 attendants, as do you, the Kazekage and Tsuchikage. So by process of elimination the remaing 3 people is the Mizukage and her attendants.
Raikage: This is a bulls.h.i.+t loop hole and you know it.
The Raikage was grinding his teeth in anger seing my face. All I had was a condescending smile on my face. The Raikage knew he was in the wrong and other than throwing a b.i.t.c.h fit he had no ground to stand on. The Raikage and I'm guessing Killer B as well got themselves tattoos to cover the marks I left them because the tattoo that the Raikgae had looked similar to
Raikage: (BAM! Hand slammed on the table). This is non-sense! This is a Kage meeting and the Mizukage is sitting on your lap like a barmaid. What a disgrace! You're making a mockery out of this meeting, Mizukage!
Sage: (In a condescending tone). You know, this is the first time I have ever heard anyone actually yell out their jealousy before. (In a lisp) It's ludacrith, might as well be blown to bolivian.
Gaara (Kazekage): Ahem, can we please continue with the meeting?
Onoki (Tsuchikage): I agree with the youngster.
Mifune: Again, welcome. The meeting was called into order by the Hokage. Konoha has vital information to disclose to all of you because they feel that the information given today affects everyone. Hoakge, would you please?
Minato: As all of you know the Akatsuki have been capturing and gathering the Jinchuuriki from different villages. Konoha has dealt with the majority of the Akatsuki and have gathered intelligence that leads us to believe that they were gathering the Bijuu in order to resurrect the Jyuubi and free Otsutsuki Kaguya.
Onoki: I thought the Jyuubi and Otsutsuki Kaguya were a myth.
Minato: They are very real.
Minato disclosed the relation with the Otsutsuki, Uchiha and Senju to the other Kages. Some were shocked, others just pondered.
Onoki: So in the end, this is all Konoha's problem. Why call a meeting when this "vital information" originated from clans from your land?
Minato: The start of the Senju and Uchiha may have come from Otsutsuki Kaguya but the real question is, what was her original purpose in coming here? Since no one can answer then I will also tell you her purpose.
Minato said all that was needed to be said concerning the real purpose Kaguya was sent here. The information about the G.o.d Tree, the Jyuubi and how chakra came to be.
Gaara: If you stopped the main perpetrators of this plan then, why hold the meeting?
Minato: The purpose of the meeting is that the Otsutsuki clan have not stopped their plan. From how history goes, the Otsutsuki clan are long lived and will eventually come back to claim the chakra from us. The meeting was to warn you all of what is to come and to prepare. This way we can all have peace and deal with this threat united. One of the Akatsuki members that we captured turned out to be Kaguya's will itself. He was the one manipulating the wars up until now.
Mei: Since you have captured him what does that mean?
Minato: We have 2 options: We can kill him and signal the Otsutsuki clan that Kaguya has failed or we can leave him and wait for the Otsutsuki clan to come in due time when we are old, tired or dead.
Mei: How long will we wait if we left him imprisoned?
Minato: There is no timeframe, but if we kill him we ourselves can manage the time when the Otsutsuki may come. We can give ourselves time to reinforce ourselves for their arrival or let it happen as if we knew nothing. We can bring them on our terms.
Onoki: I'm old and dying anyway so I will agree with the majority.
Minato: I say we kill him and be rid of this lording over our heads but kill him when we decide that we are ready to take on the Otsutsuki clan. This can only be decided when we have another Kage Summit. How does that sound?
Raikage: If we have time to prepare then I have no problem with this.
Mei, Gaara & Onoki: Same.
Mifune: Then we are all in agreement. We will have another Kage meeting in 2 years to see how the progress is going then we will destroy Kaguya's will (Black Zetsu).
After we left I went on a date with Mei around the samurai village. Later I acquired a room jut for her and I. 2 Days later I took her home and I myself went home to get ready for my surgery.
