Silent laughter

Summit

*Naruto's POV

I started cracking up as he stared at me with what I believed to be a serious face underneath his mask.

"Even you don't have the power to raise the dead" I sneered as I tightened the grip on my kunai. My laughter stopped and the atmosphere around us became heavy

"And don't even say his name in front of me unless you want to die," I said with an evil grin.

"So rash, what a child you still are. There are power out in the world you couldn't even dream of" Madara said.

"Then how," I asked eagerly

"So you agree then?" He asked with a little bit of laughter in his voice. I closed my eyes and thought about all of the possible outcomes from this situation I could see. I took a deep breath before I spoke

"why is Sasuke so important to you?" I asked

"He will bring about a great change in the ninja world, and I will help him change it to the way it needs to be," Madara said

"So say if I do manage to fight off Sasuke and drive him to get more power where will I meet you," I said with malice in my voice. Madara snickered before walking over to me.

"Don't worry child I can always find you?" He said as he phased through me and into the ground. As soon as he was gone I proceeded back to the hideout. It took a little while but I managed to get back just in time for Shikamaru to go on his shift

"Anything strange happen," He asked

"No nothing at all" I lied. Shikamaru shot a glance at me before shrugging me off. As soon as my face hit the pillow I fell asleep. No dreams, no nightmares, just sleep. Shikamaru woke me up the next morning with most of the gear backed already. I finished the packing and we were back on the road to the land of Iron. We were going at a faster pace today as we jumped through the tree branches. Shikamaru put his arm in front of me telling me to slow down a bit. We fell behind Lady Tsunade a little bit before he spoke.

"When we get back to the village you will tell me what happened last night" He ordered. I just simply nodded my head. Shikamaru has always seemed to be able to see through my lies so I am not surprised. We caught back up with land Tsunade and stayed quiet for the rest of the trip. It was getting later into the day as we arrived in the land of iron.

"You two are not to speak unless spoken to" Tsunade ordered. We both just nodded our head knowing how serious this meeting was. We walked in to see Gaara and his sibling there along with Lord Raikage and Lady Mizukage.

"Welcome Lady Hokage," A samurai said

"Thank you, General Mifune," Tsunade said as she sat down in her seat beneath the flag of the land of fire.

"Now we are only waiting for Lord Onoki and his counsel," Minfune said as he sat there patiently. The air seemed as dense as iron making it hard to breathe. The hostility coming from the raikage almost seemed to be enough to wake up the nine tails. A small old man came floating into the room followed by a young woman and a very chunky man.

"Welcome Lord Tsuchikage now we may begin the meeting," Mifune said

"Very well then," The Raikage said without any hesitation.

"As I would hope you all would know a group knows as the Akatsuki has been amassing the tailed beasts for an unknown purpose" The Raikage began "A few days ago the land of lightning eight tails jinchuriki was attacked by a member of the Akatuski and three accumplaces. Out Jinchuriki was able to fight them off, but when he reported this to me he mentioned that the Akatuski member possessed red eyes, Eyes that were able to cast a powerful genjutsu and conjure black flames" The raikage said as he looked over at land Tsunade who had her head down and eyes closed as if she was taking in every little bit of information.

"The Sharingan one of the three great Doujutsus of the leaf has practically gone extinct after Itachi Uchiha murdered his clan leaving only his younger brother alive, Is this right Lady Tsunade?" He asked her. Tsunade nodded her head but still didn't say anything.

"The bounty on Itachi was recently taken by someone leaving only his younger brother with the ability to control this visual prowess Sasuke Uchiha" The other Kage nodded their heads wanting to see where the raikage was going with this.

"Sasuke Uchiha is still a ninja of the hidden leaf along with having ties to the Akatsuki," The Raikage said. The other Kage now looked to Lady Tsunade for answers.

"How do you explain yourself Lady Tsunade," The Raikage asked. Tsunade was silent for a moment before she spoke up.

"Sasuke Uchiha abandoned the village hidden in the leaves almost four years ago and has had no contact other than combat with a few skilled shinobi" she began "His continued connections with the leaf were an oversight by my predecessor who lost his life defending our village for an attack by the Akatsuki who were after the nine tails" She said in her defense

"Care to explain how your predecessor overlooked such a thing when he was directly involved in the fighting when Sasuke left the village," The Riakage said. I gritted my teeth as the Riakage spoke poorly about my deceased father. I reached into my pouch and grabbed my kunai but Shikamaru grabbed my wrist stopping me from moving too much.

"HOw disappointing" Gaara spoke out breaking the silence

"What do you mean Lord Kazekage," Lord Onoki said glaring at him

"When did a meeting of the five military powers turn into gossip party for old women," Gaara said pissing off three of the other kage

"Watch your tongue lord Kazekage you are still very young and don't know how politics work just sit there quietly and learn," The Mizukage said seeming to take a little more offense to the previous statement

"He speaks the truth Ladt Mizukage," Onoki said as he looked over to the Raikage "Lord Raikage where do you plan on going with this meeting," He asked

'Thank you Gaara' I mentally thanked his as the Raikage took a moment to think over his response

"Lady Tsunade what is the leafs policy on the Akatsuki," He asked

"Kill on sight," She said "And make no mistake we will not hesitate"

Sasuke Uchiha has just sent himself to the grave
