The Kages are on their way to the meeting while Naruto lets Omoi and Sarui beat him up.Summary:After Gaara left his village for the meeting of the Kages, the other Kages begin to follow suit as well. The Tsuchikage of Iwagakure is a diminutive old man with a bad hip; the Mizukage is an attractive lady who is sensitive to the word "man"; and the ever-eager Raikage leaves his place by plowing through the front window instead of using the doors.The words should be: "I can't do it... I love him"Back at Konoha, Sarui and Omoi corners Naruto behind a building and demands that Naruto fess up on Sasuke, but Naruto decides that he can't betray Sasuke. Naruto doesn't want Sarui and Omoi to fall into the cycle of hate either so he offers himself as a punching back for the two visitors to let out their anger. Sarui accepts the proposition and starts wailing on Naruto, while Omoi watched from nearby and Sai watches everything from behind a tree.At the Hokage's tent, a subordinate reports to Danzo that they have someone tailing Anko and asks if Anko should be assassinated. Danzo tells his subordinates to leave Anko alone for now, but he emphasizes to his subordinates that they have to get to Kabuto before Anko. This is because Danzo doesn't want people to find out his dealings with Orochimaru, and because Orochimaru's experimental data may help Danzo regenerate his lost right arm and eye.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LOL at Naruto's punching bag offer. I guess that is Naruto's answer to Nagato's question of how to achieve world peace: by letting everyone who's angry wail on you. Anyways, by offering himself as a punching bag, Naruto has confirmed that he is indeed in love with his bestest bud ever Sasuke. It's nice that Naruto is so blindingly loyal to his "friend", but Sasuke won't be appreciating any of Naruto's actions until he stops being emo, which will probably happen at the very end of the series. Naruto wouldn't have to let Sarui beat him up though if he knew of the Kumogakure ninja's affinity to attractive men. I don't think Sarui would care about Killer Bee anymore if she hears that Sasuke is was the hottest guy in Konoha.Moving on, it's interesting that Kishi is bringing Kabuto back into the story. If my memory serves me correctly, Anko, Yamato, and Sai were tracking Kabuto when Naruto went crazy fox. Seems Danzo might have quite a history with Orochimaru, and of course Danzo wants his body parts back even if it means becoming something like Orochimaru. I wonder what Kabuto looks like after fusing himself with some of Orochimaru's flesh. Maybe Orochimaru will make a comeback through Kabuto?As the last item, we finally got to see all five Kages. So in the group of five there's an evil scheming cripple (Danzo), an old guy with a bad hip (Tsuchikage), a lady with man issues (Mizukage), a reformed homicidal maniac (Gaara), and an overly eager muscle-head (Raikage). That's a quite a distinguished group of people we have here lol. Compared to these five, all of Konoha's previous leaders look a lot more reputable (except maybe for the Mizukage, who looks alright). I guess a polished image isn't all that important in the ninja world; power is what really counts.
