#453: Eve of the Kage Summit
[Insert text: Fire and Lightning / The battle begins!!]

4
Karin: (This guy's Chakra... it came out of nowhere... // What's going on...?)
Suigetsu: Ugh! What terrible timing!
Sasuke: ...How did you know where I was?
Tobi: Don't underestimate me. // I have my own abilities to rely on.
Sasuke: ...What do you want with us? // We of Taka have left Akatsuki. We need nothing more from you.

5
Tobi: I believe I told you your lives would be forfeit if you were to betray Akatsuki. / You broke your promise with me; that's a betrayal.
Sasuke: Broke my promise?
Tobi: The retrieval of the Hachibi.
Karin: We already hunted down the Hachibi and gave him to you people!
Tobi: You gave us a substitute...... / In other words, you failed.
Karin: ?!
Suigetsu: ?!
Sasuke: ?!
Juugo: ?!
Tobi: The Hachibi managed to fool you completely. // Frankly, I am disappointed in you all.

6
Sasuke: (I watched his every move with the Sharingan... // There was no opportunity for him to create a clone... // ! // That one time I divided his body...)
Suigetsu: Okay... so what do you expect us to do about it?! / It's got nothing to do with us now!
Tobi: No... when you work for Akatsuki, you do not leave your job unfinished. // ...However, I have no wish for you to go after the Hachibi again... / So I will have you perform a different task instead.
Sasuke: And if we refuse...?
Tobi: We will be forced to do combat, here and now. / In other words, you will be unable to go to Konoha.
Sasuke: We'll see about that...
Tobi: !

7
Sasuke: ?!
Tobi: It's a little late for you to be heading to Konoha now, anyway...
Sasuke: (I passed right through him... It's just like before. ......Is this his ability?!
Tobi: Your objective is, at this point, a hollow one... A pity.
Sasuke: What do you mean by that?
Tobi: The village of Konoha is no more.

8
Sasuke: ?!
Karin: It's what?!
Zetsu: --I CAN EXPLAIN THAT--
Karin: Who the...?!
Tobi: No need to worry... he's an ally of mine. // So... who is the Hokage now?
Zetsu: A guy called Danzou.
Tobi: Pretty much as expected.

9
Sasuke: Danzou...? // Hokage......?
Tobi: That's right... one of the very higher-ups in Konoha who drove your brother into his predicament. / He is the new Hokage.
Sasuke: ......What has happened at Konoha?!
Tobi: My subordinate, Pain, crushed the village. // Thanks to all the commotion you and Pain have caused, it seems the Five Kages are about to make their move.
Sasuke: ......The Five Kages...
Tobi: There is to be a summit of the Five Kages.
Zetsu: I'll handle the rest of the explanation.

10
Karui: You're going to tell us every last thing you know about Sasuke. // His style of fighting and his abilities, of course... / ...along with all the information you have uncovered about Akatsuki, about Sasuke's allies, and about their movements.
Sakura: Y... You're lying! // Sasuke-kun couldn't possibly have joined Akatsuki!
Karui: Stupid girl... you're pissing me off! // The hell is this Sasuke to you, anyway?!
Sasuke: (He... He's...) // Aa... aahh...

11
Naruto: Are you sure about this?!
Karui: 'Course we are! We saw the Uchiha family seal! / And he matched the face on the list!
Sakura: Aa...aahhh...
Karui: Quit fuckin' crying already! If anyone should by crying, it's us! // You punks crying isn't gonna make Killer Bee-sama or Yugito-sama come back! / If you've got the time to waste on crying, then spill the info on Sasuke already!
Sai: ...Wait a moment, please.
Karui: Huh?!
Sai: If you have been given permission to hunt down Sasuke yourselves... / ...then you should already have been provided with all the information the village possesses about him.

12
Sai: There is no need to confront these people in this way...
Karui: Sure, they're giving us the info! Our Captain's waiting for them to sort it out right now! / We're just digging up every last bit of information we possibly can in the meantime!
Omoi: You think we can just sit around and do nothing?!! We don't know what could be happening to our master at this very moment! // You people couldn't possibly understand how we're feeling right now!
Flashback!Naruto: I'm gonna avenge old Ero-sennin myself! // I can't just hang around doing nothing...!
Naruto: ......

13
Naruto: Is your master a Jinchuuriki?
Omoi: ?! / How did you...?!
Naruto: I'm a Jinchuuriki myself... it's the Jinchuuriki that Akatsuki are after... / So don't act like I'm just some outsider here... // I know for a fact that Akatsuki always take the Jinchuuriki alive. / So that master of yours could well still be alive as well.
Omoi: Huh?!
Karui: Really?!!
Naruto: Saving your master should come before searching for Sasuke!
Omoi: Are you really sure about that? Really, absolutely sure?!
Karui: What'd I tell you...?! / There's no way he'd just go down that easily!

14
Naruto: I'll help you in retrieving your master however I can. // I'll give you all the information I have on Akatsuki, too.
Karui: Well, whaddayaknow! Little Blondie here knows what he's talking about! // Now come with us... let's hear everything you know about Sasuke!
Sakura: Naruto!
Naruto: ...... // Leave this to me, Sakura-chan.
Karui: What's your name?
Sasuke: Naruto?!

15
Suigetsu: And this Naruto took Pain out all by himself?
Zetsu: That's right. He has become incredibly strong... // If you ask me, he's stronger than you right now, Sasuke.
Sasuke: Hmph... / I couldn't care less about him... The issue right now is the Kage Summit.
Suigetsu: What're you gonna do? // If Konoha's gone... / And this target of yours, Danzou, is going to be at the Kage Summit... shouldn't you just head straight there instead?
Sasuke: .........

16
Suigetsu: Wh... What? // Did I say something wrong?
Sasuke: We of Taka will hereby proceed to take the Hokage's head at the Kage Summit. // That's our new destination.
Tobi: ...A wise choice.
Karin: So... where is this summit of the Five Kages being held? // (Ugh... things just got a whole lot more complicated...)
Tobi: Zetsu.
Zetsu: My clone will guide you there.

17
Zetsu: Follow me!
Sasuke: !
Juugo: Are you sure we can trust these people?
Sasuke: I will see what happens for the moment. // If I spot any untoward behaviour, then I will dispose of him using Amaterasu. / There's a little something I've been wanting to try.

18
Zetsu: --THAT WENT WELL--
Tobi: ...Not exactly... I never expected Nagato to put the Rinne Tensei, a technique that was supposed to be for my sake, to a use like that... / To think that he would betray us... // Even if Sasuke were to become more powerful than Nagato, that strength is of no use to us if we cannot control him. // I don't intend to link him to the Gedou Mazou for the time being. / This requires some careful observation.
Zetsu: --SURELY YOU STATED THAT YOU HAD ACCOUNTED FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF NAGATO'S DEATH--
Tobi: As an eventuality... but it was certainly not the route I had intended to follow. Uzumaki Naruto... that boy has thrown my plans off somewhat.
Zetsu: --WHAT NOW?-- / --DO WE MOVE?--
Tobi: We have spent long enough simply lying in wait of opportunities. // It is time that we hurried Operation Moon's Eye along.

19-20
Temari: You're late, Kankurou!
Kankurou: It took me longer than I thought to put together my new mechanisms!
SandShinobi: Well then, Kazekage-sama... take care... // Kankurou-dono, Temari-dono... I'm counting on you.
Temari: We know, we know.
Gaara: Goodbye for the moment.
Kankurou: Really, though, does Gaara even need protecting?
