"We must send troops to destroy the Akatsuki organization and get our money back!" the Fourth Raikage roared, slamming his fist on the table.
Back then, billions of Ryo were stolen from the Hidden Cloud Village's treasury. Every time he thought about it, the pain in his chest returned, and he found it hard to sleep.
Now that they had finally identified the real culprits, how could he not be excited?
"That's right—send troops!" Uchiha Fugaku shouted, pointing to the bandages over his eyes, his voice filled with resentment.
"You don't understand! Akatsuki isn't just stealing money—they're stealing gold mines! A few days ago, they dared to seize the Uchiha clan's gold mine. I went there myself to stop them, but they overwhelmed us with numbers and tried to take it by force. Of course, I couldn't just stand by—so I fought. I lost my eyesight in that battle."
The Kage were stunned. Their expressions darkened as they listened to Fugaku's story, fury flashing in their eyes.
"Unbelievable! Akatsuki has no shame. This is too much!"
"They're a plague on the ninja world—they need to be eradicated once and for all!"
They all understood the logic: If Akatsuki dares to rob the Uchiha clan today, they might rob us tomorrow.
To protect themselves, they had to eliminate the threat at the root.
Among the Kage, only Rasa looked visibly confused.
What the hell? That gold mine belonged to the Uchiha clan?
Did we seriously rob the Uchiha's mine?
He instinctively glanced at Kakashi and Shisui, who sat across from him.
The two gave subtle hand gestures indicating silence, without saying a word.
Seeing their response, Rasa finally relaxed. So Fugaku still doesn't know the truth...
He looked over at Fugaku, who was still passionately listing Akatsuki's "crimes," and sighed internally.
Poor guy… sold off and still counting money for his buyer.
If he ever learns the truth, how devastated he'll be...

Meanwhile, Across the Five Nations…
"The Land of Earth agrees to send troops against the Akatsuki organization."
"The Land of Lightning agrees to send troops."
"The Land of Water agrees as well."
Hearing that the other three nations had agreed without hesitation, Rasa and the others were thrilled.
Perfect! Obito is saved!
Hang in there, Obito! We're coming for you!
Finally, the Five Kage decided: in three days, each village would dispatch thousands of shinobi to form a united force and launch an all-out assault on the Akatsuki organization.
They would also destroy Black Zetsu's company along the way.
After all, that guy knew too many of their dirty secrets. Now that they had an opportunity to strike, they wouldn't miss the chance to silence him permanently.
With that, the Kage returned to their respective villages to prepare for the upcoming war.

After the Meeting
Once the Kage from the three major villages left, only the representatives from Konoha and Sunagakure remained in the conference room.
Uchiha Fugaku stood up and bowed in the direction of Rasa.
"Thank you, Lord Kazekage, for joining me in launching the Five Kage Summit."
Though Fugaku didn't know what motivated Rasa to support him, he was truly grateful. Without Rasa's cooperation, the summit would likely never have happened.
However, Rasa looked awkward. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
Back at the gold mine, Fugaku had lost his Mangekyō Sharingan due to excessive use, leaving him blind.
Because of this, he never saw Rasa exiting the mine—never realized that Rasa was one of the culprits behind the theft of the Uchiha gold mine.
"Haha, no need to thank me," Rasa said stiffly, trying his best to smile. "I've long had issues with Akatsuki. That's why I agreed to send out the invitations with you."
Luckily for him, Fugaku was blind and couldn't see the expression on his face.
"Fifth Hokage, I have matters to attend to. I'll take my leave. See you in three days."
Without waiting for a reply, Rasa turned and left in a hurry, not wanting to stay in such an awkward situation a second longer.
As Rasa's footsteps faded, Uchiha Fugaku sighed emotionally.
"Fourth Kazekage… what a good man."
Shisui and Kakashi: "..."

Elsewhere – Ninja World Pharmaceutical Company
Black Zetsu stood in front of a towering corporate skyscraper, mouth agape.
"Whoa…"
Ah Fei couldn't help but laugh at the stunned expression on Black Zetsu's face.
Hearing the laughter, Black Zetsu snapped back to reality, realizing he had lost his composure. He scratched his head sheepishly and asked, "Big bro, how much did this cost to build?"
Ah Fei took out a cigarette and placed it in his mouth. Seeing this, Black Zetsu quickly stepped forward and lit it for him with a lighter.
Pleased by the gesture, Ah Fei gave an approving nod.
He took a long drag, blew out a smoke ring, and said smugly, "Not much. Just over five billion."
"Five… billion?!" Black Zetsu's jaw dropped again.
Good grief! How rich do you have to be to spend that kind of money on a company building?! This guy isn't even human!
Ah Fei patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Stick with me and work hard. I believe it won't be long before you can save your mother."
Tears welled up in Black Zetsu's eyes. "Don't worry. I'll give it everything I've got!"
"That's great." Ah Fei grinned. "In that case... go mine some ore."
Black Zetsu blinked, stunned. "You… want me to go mining?"
"That's right. You're going mining." Ah Fei repeated with a smile.
Black Zetsu's eyes widened as if they were about to pop out. You want me, Lord Black Zetsu, to do such a lowly job?!
Seeing his reluctant expression, Ah Fei's face darkened, and his tone turned icy.
"What, you don't want to?"
Black Zetsu said nothing, frozen in place.
"Hah. If you don't want the job, plenty of others do. If you're unwilling, then leave. I'd love to see how long it takes you to save your mother on your own."
Ah Fei scoffed, his eyes flashing with disdain.
Black Zetsu's expression darkened immediately. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms.
He really wanted to punch Ah Fei in the face.
But then, an image of his sealed mother appeared in his mind—trapped on the moon, waiting to be freed.
He took a deep breath and slowly loosened his fists.
With a forced smile, he bowed his head and said,
"I'm willing to do it, Big Bro… I'll go mining…"
