The meeting of the five Kages are on in a minute and before it starts, let’s introduce them first one by one…

Tsuchikage (Earth Shadow)

Tsuchikage is the leader of Iwagakure village. He has two bodyguards which probably his grandchildren named Kurozuchi and Akazuchi. Tsuchikage is very old while his bodyguards looks very young and bad ass.

Mizukage (Water Shadow)

Mizukage is the leader of Kirigakure. She is a pretty lady who seem to lack attention from men. She has a bad-ass bodyguard and a kid bodyguard who looks lame but for sure has a lot of talents under his ninja pyjamas. He’s not gonna be a bodyguard if he’s not bad-ass right?

Raikage (Lightning Shadow)

Raikage is the leader of Kumogakure. He himself is a bad-ass ninja and I don’t know why he has two lame bodyguards.

Kazekage – (Wind Shadow)

Kazekage is the leader of Sunogakure. He’s Gaara. We’ve known him pretty well and his bodyguards. Kankuro and Temari. Their bad-ass too.

Hokage (Fire Shadow)

The Hokage is no other than Danzo as of the moment… He’s the 6th as he declares himself. He’s bad-ass and corrupt as well. He’s nowhere to go.

Starts with Sasuke and the gang making their way to Konoha. Their initial goal is to, (what’s their initial plan again?). Anyway, no matter what the plan is, they are changing it.

Apparently, along their way, they were surprised by Tobi. As we all know, Sasuke receives commands from Tobi. Their last mission is to capture the host of the eight-tailed beast and according to Tobi, they failed. A fake host was captured instead of the real one. Sasuke was a little too serious of going to Konoha but Tobi told him that Konoha no longer exists. It was destroyed by Pain right?

Sasuke learned that Danzo is the new Hokage, and it looks like he’s a bit not happy. Something is probably going on between him and Danzo. Oh, of course. Danzo has been too much involved of Itachi’s destiny. He also learned that there’s going to be a meeting of the Five Kages, and there’s a new plan. He plans to kill them. What? I think he’s sick.

Meanwhile, the order to kill Sasuke has been released. He’s officially a missing nin who deserves death according to the rules. The allies of Killerbee who are interrogating Naruto and Sakura of Sasuke’s whereabouts are still on. They badly want to kill Sasuke to revenge their master, without even thinking how strong Sasuke is. They really don’t know where they are getting from hunting Sasuke is nothing but losing their lives. Good thing Naruto was able to change their plan. Or maybe not yet. It seems like Naruto has convinced them to try to find their master instead of avenging right away. He explained that he’s also a host, which the Akatsuki won’t kill, and he believes that Killerbee is still alive.

Gaara comes back in the series. Gaara, Kankuro and Temari are heading to Konoha to attend the meeting of the Five Kages.

So Naruto just returned from his victory to bring peace. Well, actually war hasn’t ended yet. He was brought back by Kakashi to the village where everyone awaits to a new hero, one who surpassed what a Hokage can do.

Naruto was applauded and guess what, hit hard by Sakura like she usually does. How dare you Sakura. Is that the way you endear people? Is that the right way to show your admiration to the one who just saved your a$$es from certain destruction?

So Sakura just hit Naruto really hard but followed that was a very tight hug and the phrase “Thank You!”. She was about to say “I Love You” but she’s still in doubt that’s why she rephrased it for now. And maybe she doesn’t want scene to be too cheesy.

Anyway, what do you think Hinata felt about that Sakura’s hug to Naruto? Apart from being proud of Naruto, what else? Intriguing.

In the meanwhile, we know Sasuke and his team has their own plan heading to Konoha for a mission which is still secret. But somewhere out in the forest is another group which I haven’t identified yet but I’m sure it’s not the hebi-hebi. One of the team is named Karui whom I haven’t heard of before. They seem strong, almost same presence as the Hebi, and speaking of which, they might encounter each other one of these days. Let’s see.

The Akatsuki is still up on their original mission which is to gather all the hosts. But so far there’s not much update about them. I heard Itachi died, is that right?

The high group of Konoha was on a meeting to decide who the 6th Hokage should be, and so far it was Danzo. Which means there’s no good things to happen for the village.

After Nagato’s quite long story of how he became the ‘Pain’ instead of the other thing foretold by Jiraiya which is ‘Peace’, he asked for Naruto’s answer. And while Nagato’s explanation is long, Naruto delivered his answer in a short but precise speech using Nagato’s then principle on finding peace. “If there’s such a thing as Peace, I will find it. I won’t give up.”

Nagato was stopped by the phrase, realizing it was his, and it played a big part on his life. Naruto told Nagato that it was on the book, which Jiraiya wrote inspired by Nagato. But while Nagato was Jiraiya’s inspiration, he used Naruto as the main character of the book for a reason.

So Nagato was awaken by Naruto’s answer and now he believes in Naruto. He said he sees young self in Naruto and he sees a different future in him. He’s letting Naruto bring peace his way and while he’s unable to move physically well, he’s about to do a jutsu which will surprise us in the next chapter.

Shall we make some guesses now?

Now that Naruto has come to Nagato’s hiding place, what happens next?

While Naruto is still on his way to Nagato’s place, his main reason why he wants to meet Nagato is to talk. He obviously likes to understand better why he needed to do what he has done to gain peace? Because obviously, it’s likely impossible to gain peace through pain.

Now, will Nagato be willing to talk about it? He is physically not capable of fighting with Naruto in his current situation. At least he looks like he’s sick in the manga. And the fact that Naruto just blew all his realms, I don’t think he can last against him. Naruto is exhausted too but he’s pretty much more capable to fight than Nagato. But wait, Nagato has the most dangerous eyes so maybe, just maybe, he can last.

Anyway, what I think about the next event is that there will be another long conversation between the two. And it also looks like Konan has no guts of touching Naruto, not because she’s afraid of him, it’s just that she’s not a war freak like the others. And after the conversation, Nagato will realize that Naruto’s principle is the one he also needs. And hopefully, Nagato and Konan will ally with Naruto.

Then they will talk about the real Akatsuki leader. So far, we know him as Tobi, and most probably sure he’s Madara as well. They will talk about how Akatsuki began again, what their principle was, etc etc… And then Naruto will go after the Akatsuki leader. Remember, he also has some ideas about it since he talked with his father in the previous chapters.

Well, I think I should stop here for the meantime because I’m also not sure if what I said has any sense. Let’s just hear what your say is.
