The meeting of the five Kages, plus Sai telling Sakura that she's a bad influence.Summary:At the meeting of the Kages, the five leaders and their guards argue and almost come to blows. Gaara thinks he should speak first because he's bad-ass a former host; the Tsuchikage thinks Gaara is a noob; Danzo is still looking devious; the Mizukage wonders if she should reveal that her predecessor was actually (controlled by) Orochimaru; and the Raikage wants everyone to shut up. The Tsuchikage eventually reveals that some of the villages had hired Akatsuki at one point or another to do their bidding, and Danzo reveals that Akatsuki's leader is Madara. At this point, the moderator Mifune suggests that the five villages form a strategic alliance, and just like before Danzo nominates himself to be the leader as Konoha is the only village with a host.Back at Konoha, Sai tells Sakura that Naruto got beat up over his love for Sasuke and he went with Kakashi and Yamato to beg for Sasuke lifes. Sai then states that Naruto loves Sakura but also that Sakura causes Naruto pain.(Top) Sai to Sakura: Take that, you no-good floozy!(Bottom) Danzo: I should be the leader because I'm the only (fake) one-eyed pirate in here!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hilarious chapter. Good ol' Danzo, always so quick to nominate himself for any position of power. I guess he must have forgotten the part that Naruto is an ally of Tsunade and doesn't listen to him at all, but the other Kages probably don't know that yet. The discussion between the Kages was mildly interesting though, since at least a few of the villages are guilty of supporting Akatsuki at one time while the Raikage is guilty for building his muscles army. It'd clear that none of the Kages trust each other, so this so-called alliance will be more in appearance than anything else. When push comes to shove, these guys probably wouldn't hesitate ripping out each other's throats. Moving on, I guess Sai must have fallen in love with Naruto, or else he wouldn't have gone so far as to call both Sasuke and Sakura floozies. Looks like Naruto is on his way to building a nice little bisexual harem. Don't forget that Hinata is still being ignored despite her confession and death+revival. At least we are getting some relationship development on the Sakura and Sai fronts though.
