The Kage of the four great ninja villages held a meeting and excluded Konoha from it.
Because Konoha was not considered a ninja village anymore.
"Akatsuki is an extremely dangerous organization."
This time, instead of conducting the meeting over video calls like the previous one, the Kage of the four great ninja villages met in person.
The location was in the Hidden Cloud Village.
No other reason, except that apart from Konoha, the Hidden Cloud Village was the strongest.
At the meeting, it was Raikage Ai who first spoke, "Therefore, we must find a way to uproot them completely."
"But they now have six Tailed Beasts in their possession," Mei Terumi worried. "Even though the Eight Tails Jinchuriki has escaped, they managed to take some of the Eight Tails' Chakra. If they can control the Tailed Beasts to release Tailed Beast Bombs, we won't be able to withstand them."
"What's more important is that their leader, named Pain, possesses the Rinnegan!"
