[Temari] Kankuro, You're late!

[Kankuro] Assembling my new puppets took longer than I thought.

Goodbye Lord Kazekage! Please take care!

Lord Kankuro, Lady Temari. We're counting on you.

Yeah, we know.

But Gaara doesn't really need bodyguards. Why are we going?

Come on. Time to go.

Among all the Five Kage, Gaara's gonna be the youngest one.

It's our duty to make sure the other Kage don't take him lightly.

A Five Kage Summit.

You know, I can't help but wonder what all the other Kage are like.

Kurotsuchi, Akatsuchi, good luck!

Lord Tsuchikage!

Go teach all those other village leaders a thing or two!

Augh! Going to summits at my age is such a chore.

All those young'uns romping around with no regard for my discomfort.

They forget about my bad back?

Well, gramps, Why don't you just retire, then?

I mean, why bother trying to drag out the glory?

Ha ha ha ha ha! Here, let me carry that pack for you.

Okay, Lord Tsuchikage?

D'rrrrgh!

Hands off, Akatsuchi! I can get this!

[old man grumbling] Grm... Whippersnappers..

Heh hah! It's nothing! See?

[crack]

Aa-aaah! My back!

Listen, Gramps, You wanna send someone else instead?

Why you impudent little fool! Just who do you think I am?!

I am Tsuchikage Ohnoki, the Great Fence Sitter of the Hidden Stone!

Hmph! I shall carry my own pack, thankyou!

Hrr-r-r-r-r...

H'augh!

[sigh] What did you expect? You stubborn geezer...

Very well, you may carry your own pack if you really want to.

All right! Let's be off!

Of all the insolent... Fine, I don't care!

Admit it, Gramps, that's better, isn't it?

We entrust the honorable Mizukage to your care.

Make sure the Mizukage doesn't overdo it.

I know; I will.

Thank you very much.

Lord Great Elder,

By my title of Mizukage, I'll fulfill my duties with brilliance.

Heh-heh heh heh heh!

As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist,

Protect Lady Mizukage well, Chojuro.

Uh, Yes, sir. All three of us should be just fine.

Well, I hope.

You should have more confidence in yourself. You're very strong.

After all, That's why I chose you to accompany me to the summit.

'kay, Chojuro?

Uh... Yes, ma'am! I'll do my absolute best!

Well, I hope.

She's so kind.

Yes, ma'am's all you should say! That spineless attitude is useless!

The youths these days are just all made of weakness.

Old maid...?

Ao! Enough with the lecturing! Now get moving or you're going to be late!

It's too late... for marriage?!!

My lecture's good advice! Why, back in my day...

Shut up. Or die.

Uhh??

All right, Chojuro! Ao! Let's depart!

I shall defend kind Lady Mizukage's smile to the best of my abilities!

I hope I can...

Uhhn...

What are you doing, Ao? Lady Mizukage's leaving!

Huh?!

Oh, no!

Lady Mizukage! Please wait!

[Raikage] Still no word from Team Samui?!

No, sir. All communication has been silent. But I do expect to hear something soon.

Samui has already been informed of the route you will be taking to the summit, Lord Raikage.

The plan is for her to rendezvous with you directly or send a messenger bird.

Good! All right, then. I'll be heading out, too!

Let's go! Cee! Darui!

Sir!

Sure.

Come along!

[sigh] Not again!

Let's go, Darui.

No, thanks. I'll just take the stairs like normal people.

You go on ahead, I'll catch up.

Enter the Five Kage!

Lord Danzo, sir.

I know.

I haven't seen battle in quite a while.

This is a perfect chance to get my muscles limbered up again.

Do not interfere.

I'll take care of them.

[sharp inhale]

Augh! Hungh! Oof!

Is your target the Hokage? Or are you after me personally?

Please... just kill me...

Well, not that it really matters.

Seven, eight, nine, ten...

Seventeen total, eh?

Okay! I'm ready to go!

No, this whole thing is far from okay!

Are you serious about going to meet the Raikage?

Of course! I'm going to convince him to forgive Sasuke!

But that being said, you don't even know where the Raikage is!

You know, I bet you could help him with that, Yamato.

What?!

See ya!

Kakashi, you gotta be kidding.

I'm here to challenge you, Big Brother Naruto!

Huh? wait, I know that voice...

Uh!

I'd appreciate it if didn't tell the Hokage of Naruto's plans.

Oh...

Say nothing's going on.

I see. So it appears that you still can't bring yourself to trust me.

Well you are Danzo's subordinate, assigned to spy on Naruto.

But you're also a member of Team 7, my Team Kakashi.

So I do believe in you.

There was one other thing he said: he believed in me!

What is this that I'm feeling?

Catch you later!

Hm.

Auugghh! [gurgle]

These are remnants of the Hannya Black Ops from the Land of Woods that we slew in the past.

It has always been like this. Foe seizing a chance to strike.

Your coming into the open may increase our headaches in lots of ways.

Ninja once belonged to a world of ascetics. To be nameless was a source of pride.

By controlling what's seen and what's hidden, one can truly strengthen village and nation.

I will make sure that this summit is a success and that I am acknowledged as Hokage.

Then even the Jonin Council will have no choice but to accept me.

At last, my time has finally come.

Hey, what's going on?

I have no idea. What are they doing?

Haaa!

Haaa!

Sexy Jutsu!

[gasps]

Sweet dreams. Enjoy those illusions of Naruto.

Or were you interested in their Sexy Jutsu? So sorry.

It seems the Foundation is beginning not to trust Sai. Hmm.

Awww!!

Yours is way sexier than mine!

Now...

Damn it! No way! I lose again!

You always keep widening the gap between us, Big Bro.

We're supposed to be rivals, you know!

Hey, I heard!

Huh?

Someone told me that you took down one of the Pains with your Rasengan!

Mmh.

I only pulled it off 'cause I was desperate.

Huh?

You did a good job, Konohamaru!

You're a hero of the Hidden Leaf Village, too!

You know, you pick up things quicker than I do!

Next time, I'll teach you how to do the Giant Rasengan!

Yeah!

My hand hurts from all this writing!

What if I get tendonitis and it affects my sword skills?

And that shortcoming leads to me going down in battle...

And despite the frantic efforts of all the girls on the Medical Team, then I die.

Keep moving your hand, not your tongue, big mouth!

Hmm...

We gotta copy the Intel on Sasuke and the Akatsuki, Now hurry up or we're going to be here forever!

'Scuse me, could you please try to keep your voices down?

Of course. My apologies.

[Karui] Aahh! We're finally done!

Calm down. You two have gotta be cool if you want to call yourselves Shinobi!

All right, let's hurry to Lord Raikage!

Got it.

Yeah!

[Yamato] Sorry, but you are now carrying my Signal Seeds.

Despite my demeanor, I'm pretty good at tailing.

Now then, I'd better contact Kakashi and Naruto.

I keep wondering if that Naruto kid is doing okay.

Auggh!!

If you say another word about it, I'm gonna pummel you, too, Omoi!

Oh? So you are worried!

I told you not to say anything!

Boy! Your hands are as quick as ever!

Alright. It's time to tail them.

Let's go!

[Mizukage] Chojuro...

Your Great Twin Sword Hiramekarei must be quite a burden.

Are you all right carrying it?

Oh. I'm fine. Though I'm feeling a bit feverish.

Let's see...

Well, it does feel like you might have a slight temperature.

Lady Fifth, you spoil Chojuro too much!

This is why the young these days get so full of themselves!

He spikes a temperature from such a short jaunt?!

Why, in my day I--!

Ao...

It's no longer the dark time when we were called the Blood Mist Village.

The nightmare created by the Fourth Mizukage is long over.

You'd do well not to bring up the past.

Yes, I-- Forgive me, ma'am.

Now, let's stop such depressing talk, and have some supper instead.

I'm looking forward to the meal this inn has made.

Ah!?

I hope you've engaged an appetizing dinner.

Mh.

Engaged?

As in, to be married!

You have arranged for all of our meals, haven't you, Chojuro?

There were just so many choices!

So I had a lot of trouble making up my mind!

In the end, I couldn't decide.

In the end...

[Ao] You vacillating fool!

Agh! Youth these days have voided hearts! And no ambition!

Voided...?

Please, forgive me! I'll make arrangements now!

My engagement. There was a lot of trouble.

And in the end, it was voided!

Back in my day...

Huh?

Shut up. Or die.

[Ao] Why?!

Man, it is really getting cold out.

The Land of Iron is just a stone's throw away from here.

Hold on. There's something just up ahead!

What?

This is my first trip to the Land of Iron. I'm really excited!

Oh, please. It really isn't such a nice place.

Why don't you tell us what it's like, Gramps?

It lies among three mountains known as the Three Wolves.

It's a neutral state possessing powerful battle strength as well as a unique culture and their own laws.

(cm eating efforts)

So tell me, how are its culture and law different from that of the Land of Earth?

There's a long-standing rule that shinobi shall not engage them,

and in fact, the Land of Iron does not have any shinobi at all.

Instead, it is defended by samurai.

[gasp]

Well?

They've fortified their defenses because of the Five Kage Summit.

Jugo, listen. You have to use the animals.

And scout out the least-defended route you can find to the Summit site.

Right, I'm on it.

We've been awaiting your arrival, Lord Kazekage. Welcome.

I am Mifune, the General in this Land of Iron.

(ct shivering reax)

I'm pleased to meet you. I'm the Kazekage, Gaara.

[Kankuro] Man, it's cold!

The climate here's totally different than the Land of Wind!

[Mifune] We can serve you some hot tea to warm you up. Enter.

Aah, AAH--

Achoo!

Shh!

Brr! Boy, it just got really cold all of a sudden.

Hey, we're on a stealth mission! So, shh!

Well, then?

There's a route that climbs up from the West. Not too many lookouts.

Karin, keep an eye on the chakra positions of the guards. It's time to go in.

What? I'm coming, too?!

Yep, it's finally time for you to let those skills of yours shine.

Zetsu, right?

That's right.

I need you to confirm which one is Danzo. You're coming too.

Looks like a message from Sai.

What is it?

Nothing, it's just a routine report. Let's go.

Can't we just ambush and off him now? I'm pooped already.

What are you, stupid?!

If the Hokage's arrival is delayed, they'll know that something happened to him on the way there.

Then they'll send in a swarm of samurai reinforcements. And what if the other Kage come, too, huh?

We don't know the enemy's abilities, you idiot, so it's best to bide our time and just attack him on his way home.

Right, Sasuke?

Hgh.

Just focus on the enemy's chakra positions, Karin.

Ha ha! Busted.

Shut up!

Wow, Sasuke, It seems you have your hands full.

All that matters is that you identify Danzo before the Summit starts.

You'd better not lie.

That's right, I'm attuned to chakra. And a person's chakra always becomes muddied when they lie.

So just remember, I'll be keeping an eye on your chakra, got it?

There's no reason to lie to you. After all, Danzo is a hindrance to the Akatsuki too.

Lord Raikage, it's Team Samui.

Good. Let's descend!

My lord, We've returned from the Hidden Leaf Village.

And how did it go there?

Samui, you've been tailed.

What?

Show yourselves, you Hidden Leaf dogs!

[growl]

We need to talk, right now!

[Yamato] Lord Raikage, your attempt to obtain the Hyuga Byakugan is still unresolved on our side.

[Yamato] Do not forget the Leaf's sacrifices.

[Kakashi] This young shinobi is bowing his head in affection for Cloud and Leaf, village and nation.

[Kakashi] Lord Raikage, as one of the Five Kage, what do you think of this?

[Naruto] Next time on Naruto Shippuden, "Naruto's Plea."

[Raikage] Hmph. How foolish.
