Madara has declared the Fourth Ninja War on the kages, but says little more before disappearing again. The kages all take Madara’s threat seriously and agree to form a shinobi alliance against the new threat. Even the ill-tempered Raikage agrees since he now knows his brother is safe. As Danzo had fled the scene, the kages debate over Konoha’s role in all this. Although they would like Konoha’s support in the alliance, none of them trust Danzo. Gaara agrees to deliver the news of what happened at the meeting himself to Kakashi Hatake and everyone agrees he is trustworthy enough.
The talk then turns to the handling of the war Madara plans on waging. The Tsuchikage suggests that in order to counter the power of the Bijuu already taken b Madara, they should use the two remaining Jinchuuriki as weapons to fight them. However, Gaara and Raikage disagree because they believe the war may be a tactic by Madara to draw Naruto and Killerbee out; they also point out that both shinobi are also very unpredictable on the battlefield.
The Raikage asks that they first attempt to find Killerbee’s location and secure Naruto’s whereabouts. Before the meeting is adjourned, Chojiro brings up Kisame Hoshisaki’s name. He warns the kages that he is the most powerful of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist and probably possesses enough chakra to rival that of a Jinchuuriki. In short, Kisame is not to be underestimated.
Meanwhile, in the hall where Sasuke fought the Raikage, Jugo and Suigetsu have recovered and formulate a plan to escape undetected. Back at the inn, Naruto has decided to train more to extend his sage mode to prepare himself for his search for Sasuke. But his concentration is broken up by the surprise arrival of Sakura, Sai, Rock Lee and Kiba. Sakura tells Naruto that they need to speak.
In an undisclosed location in the forest, Killerbee is receiving lessons on Japanese enka singing from a short shinobi named Sabu-chan who is accompanied by a gigantic bear. Killerbee is lectured for not singing from the heart and with passion in his song. His lesson is interrupted when Kisame arrives on the scene, having tracked him down using his Samehada’s hunger for powerful chakra.
