The Hokage's Will

Chapter Four: Intertwine

The cold winter climate of Iron Country was a desert in reverse form. There may be trees, but there were barely any leaves in them, the fauna do not fare good as well, with a few species only existing in the harsh winter climate. In particular, only in Iron Country did exist an elusive bird known for its grace within the harsh frozen land; its name was the Snow Owl.

The said creature flapped its wings during mid day, an hour it wasn't supposed to fly, as it only flew during the night. The said bird landed on the forearm of a rather large man with orange hair. It nestled closely to the man as the man then said to Sasuke.

"There's a path in the west that's barely guarded." Said Juugo, Sasuke nodded,

"Good we're moving. Karin, detect Danzo for us."

The Uchiha commanded, Karin seemed afraid of this however,

"H-Hey! I'm coming as well!?" Asked the red head, Sasuke merely replied, "You're ability is required the most at this moment."

Sasuke then said to the half man-half plant.

"Zetsu, was it? You will tell me how Danzo looks like. Don't lie to me."

Zetsu merely smiled as he walked and said to Sasuke, "Don't worry, I won't. Danzo is not an ally of ours."

Sasuke looked up at the place named, The Three Wolves' Fanged Maw, he scowled at the said structure. Soon, Danzo with feel the taste of his blade being driven to his gut! That man shall pay for his crimes.

As Sasuke and the others infiltrated the pyramid like structure situating in the middle of the Wolves' Fanged Maw, Zetsu looked around the area that will be the meeting place of the Five Kages. His single present gazed back and forth from the outer area to the middle.

"This is disturbing, I don't see Danzo anywhere." Zetsu mentioned. Sasuke was getting impatient; his anger was rising at the man that had escorted them in the summit.

"What? Are you telling me that Danzo isn't here?" Sasuke bellowed at Zetsu, his killing intent was starting to leak from him as he stared at Zetsu who was starting to panic. If indeed that Danzo wasn't the Hokage, it meant that the disruption of the Five Kages' summit would lead to nowhere as Madara had implied that Sasuke was now the important factor in revealing 'Tsuki no Me'. But in order to do that, Sasuke would have to be conditioned to a level that will put him in the same category as his brother, Uchiha Itachi. Madara had specifically ordered Zetsu to monitor the boy's growth, for Sasuke would be facing the Senju clan's representative, Uzumaki Naruto.

His patience wearing thin, Sasuke was about to go away when he had heard that the Hokage had finally come. Staring down, he couldn't very well see the person's face for it was being covered by the hat.

Land of Iron, outer walls:

"Torune, be prepared to be on stand by, we will commence our operation before the Summit ends." Danzo mentioned, as he sat down in the hotel, and watched the Three Wolves' Fanged Maw as snow fell at an unbelievable rate.

Danzo knew that the Kage Summit was a movement that the Akatsuki couldn't very well ignore. But he also knew another factor in that summit, with the way things are going and Akatsuki finally capturing eight of the tailed beasts, the five great villages will have to get aggressive and retrieve the bijuu by forming an alliance, and being that Konoha is the only village that hasn't lost its host yet, they would definitely put the Hokage as the head of the alliance, the absolute leader.

Danzo scoffed, picturing the young Hokage leading the alliance.

"The alliance would most likely fall apart if he leads." Danzo muttered, that was why, he had set up a strategy that would allow him leeway for the Hokage to surrender his position to him.
