CHAPTER
457 - The Meeting of the Five Kages Begins
On the outskirts of the meeting hall in the Land of Iron,
Sauske and his team plan their infiltration. Jugo provides
information on the best route into the compound using an owl and the
team sets out. Sasuke insists that Zetsu also comes along in
order to identify Danzo. Karin and Suigetsu start to argue about how to
kill their target. Because the samurai security is so tight, it would
be easier to kill Danzo before he gets to the meeting or after he
leaves. But Sasuke’s plan is still to sneak into
the compound and kill Danzo inside.
Samui and her squad have caught up with the Raikage to give
their report, but Naruto, Kakashi and Yamato have followed them all the
way undetected. After revealing themselves, Kakashi asks the
Raikage to hear Naruto’s request. The Raikage is
willing to hear Naruto out but is unmoved after he hears
Naruto’s plea to forgive Sasuke’s crimes and
rescind the execution order on his head. Naruto even gets on
his knees and begs the Raikage. He understands that Sasuke is no longer
the same ninja he knew, but Naruto does not want Sasuke’s
death at the hands of Kumo shinobi to trigger further revenge killings.
Yamato tries to support Naruto’s pleas by
mentioning the sacrifice made by the Hyuga clan when Kumogakura
demanded the body of the clan leader after one of their ambassadors was
killed. However, the Raikage is a stern man and states that ninja
should respect action and strength and show no compromise. He
cannot forgive Sasuke after all he has done, especially since he is now
part of Akatsuki; Sasuke is now part of a criminal organization and
there should be no mercy for criminals. Raikage says he intends to kill
Sasuke and it is up to Naruto to stop any further bloodshed
afterwards. Before leaving, the Raikage tells Naruto to think
about what he must do because he won’t get far in the world
if he keeps acting so naively.
In Konoha, Sai has thought about a conversation
he had with Naruto about his affection for Sakura. Naruto
initially tries to denies it, but then admits he can’t tell
Sakura his feelings when he can’t even keep a promise to
her. Even though Naruto had told Sai to
stay out of his
affairs, Sai decides to take action and visits Sakura.
Meanwhile, Sasuke’s team has managed to
enter the meeting halls undetected. Zetsu identifies Danzo as
he passes and Sasuke gets a good look at his target. Soon, the Meeting
of the Kages commences with everyone present. Mifune, the
leader of the Land of Iron, begins the meetings as the moderator.
