Since its formation, Akatsuki had been working on capturing the nine tailed beasts or their [[jinchūriki]]. At the start of Part II, Akatsuki had captured two tailed beasts; the [[Five-Tails]] and the [[Seven-Tails]] in the anime. As Part II progressed the organisation also obtained the [[One-Tailed Shukaku]], the [[Two-Tails]], the [[Three-Tails]], the [[Four-Tails]], and the [[Six-Tails]] in the anime. The capture of seven tailed beasts had come with great losses for Akatsuki, so the organisation's founder, [[Tobi]], dedicated extra resources to the remaining beasts' capture.

The first ever meeting of the five Kage was convened by [[Hashirama Senju]], the first [[Hokage]], to discuss the formation of the hidden villages and to sign a memorandum that would work in favour of the progress and prosperity of their people. Present at this meeting along with Hashirama was the [[First Raikage]], [[First Tsuchikage]], [[First Mizukage]], and [[First Kazekage]]. Accompanying them to the meeting was [[Tobirama Senju]], the incumbent [[Second Raikage]], [[Mū]], an unknown [[Kirigakure]]-nin, and the incumbent [[Second Kazekage]]. In an attempt to balance the power between the villages and as a sign of goodwill, [[Konohagakure]] intended to distribute the [[tailed beast]] which Hashirama had [[Tailed Beast Control|captured]]. The First Kazekage, however, noted that [[Sunagakure]] already had [[Shukaku|a tailed beast]] within their possession and instead asked for an alternative payment of a portion of the fertile land of Konoha, their closest neighbour, and 30% of the asking price from each of the tailed beasts that the other nations would pay for. Outraged at this to the point of threatening war against Sunagakure, Hashirama was able to quell their rage through honestly speaking of his hopes for the future of the shinobi.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 648, pages 8-17</ref> Unfortunately, the peace did not last and competition between the villages eventually led to the [[First Shinobi World War]].

To capture the [[Eight-Tails]], Tobi sent former [[Konoha]] ninja, [[Sasuke Uchiha]], and [[Taka|his team]] to the [[Land of Lightning]] to apprehend [[Killer B]]. Much of the [[Land of Lightning#Valley of Clouds and Lightning | Valley of Clouds and Lightning]] was destroyed during the battle, and at its conclusion Killer B appeared to be captured. Killer B's brother, the [[Fourth Raikage]], was enraged by the news and demanded a meeting of the Kage to finally do something about Akatsuki and possibly save B. In reality, B only pretended to be captured, and Akatsuki continued searching for him.

Since then, it is unknown how many other meetings were convened though the most recent was convened in response to the threat of Akatsuki: who had been working on capturing the nine tailed beasts or their [[jinchūriki]]. At the start of Part II, Akatsuki had captured two tailed beasts and progressively worked their way through capturing the others. When it appeared that the [[Eight-Tails]]' [[jinchūriki]] [[Killer B]] had also been captured, the Fourth Raikage [[A]] convened the Summit to be held in the neutral [[Land of Iron]]. Accompanying A were his bodyguards [[Darui]] and [[C]]. Also in attendance was the Third Tsuchikage [[Ōnoki]] with his bodyguards [[Kurotsuchi]] and [[Akatsuchi]], the Fifth Mizukage [[Mei Terumī]] with her bodyguards [[Ao]] and [[Chōjūrō]], the Fifth Kazekage [[Gaara]] with his bodyguards [[Temari]] and [[Kankurō]] and finally the Candidate Sixth Hokage [[Danzō Shimura]] and his companions [[Fū (Anbu)|Fū]] and [[Torune]]. During the process of selecting a Supreme Commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces, Ao revealed to the five Kage and their respective bodyguards that Danzō was manipulating Mifune with the use of [[Kotoamatsukami]]. However the Kage would not have ample time to punish Danzō as Akatsuki-affiliated group, Taka, would attack the summit and fight the Kage. During the commotion Danzō would use this time to escape with his bodyguards. The Summit would culminate in [[Tobi]] declaring the start of the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]], the Kage were able to band together and decided to form the [[Allied Shinobi Forces]] in order to stop this threat once and for all.

As summons for the summit were sent out, Konoha was [[invasion of Pain|attacked]] by the recognized Akatsuki leader, [[Pain]]. Tobi had sent Pain to find [[Naruto Uzumaki]], the jinchuriki of the [[Nine-Tailed Demon Fox]]. Naruto was able to elude capture and defeat Pain, but most of the village was destroyed. Additionally, the [[Fifth Hokage]] was left in a coma, necessitating she be replaced by [[Danzō]], the candidate for the position of Sixth Hokage.

For the meeting, the Kage were allowed to bring two bodyguards. The Kage and their bodyguards departed for the [[Land of Iron]], a neutral, [[samurai]]-controlled country. [[Mifune]], the general of the Land of Iron, presided over the summit. When all were present, the [[Fifth Kazekage]] began the discussion. As the former host of the One-Tailed Shukaku, he had long considered Akatsuki a serious threat and requested cooperation between the villages, something only the Fifth Hokage had agreed to. The [[Third Tsuchikage]] scoffed at the idea of the villages working together, citing the need for the villages to look after themselves. Nevertheless, he expressed concern for how many tailed beasts Akatsuki had obtained. The [[Fifth Mizukage]] opined that they should'nt be so concerned about the loss of the tailed beasts, as controlling them was a difficult task that required lots of time and skill, even for Akatasuki. The Tsuchikage and Danzō agreed on this point.
 
 
The [[Raikage]], frustrated with the discussion thus far, crushed the table in front of him. The bodyguards came to their Kage's aid but order was quickly restored. The Raikage voiced his distrust of the other villages, all having previously employed Akatsuki and all having had an Akatsuki representative at some point in time. Only his own [[Kumogakure]] had never employed the organisation. The Tsuchikage defended [[Iwagakure]]'s actions, saying that he was forced to employ Akatsuki because of Kumogakure's relentless efforts to amass power and techniques. Danzō made no comment, and the Kazekage, having been unaware of [[Sunagakure]]'s use of Akatsuki, was disgusted. The [[Fifth Mizukage]], when confronted with allegations that Akatsuki had been created in [[Kirigakure]], offered only her desire to find out how Akatsuki worked in to her village's history.
 
 
To get the meeting back on track, Danzō revealed Madara Uchiha's involvement with Akatsuki. Because of this revelation, [[Mifune]] proposed having the ninja villages join forces against Akatsuki, to be led by one of the Kage. For this position he nominated Danzō, believing Konoha's demon fox to be the only tailed beast not yet captured by Akatsuki. When questioned by the remaining Kage, Mifune pointed out why they were unfit for the job: the Kazekage was too young; the Tsuchikage was too old and had used too much of Akatsuki in the past; Kirigakure had suspicious connections with Akatsuki; and the Raikage's destruction of the table showed him to be too easily overcome by his emotions.
 
 
Before the Kage could come to an agreement, [[Ao]], one of the Mizukage's bodyguards, revealed that Danzō was manipulating Mifune's actions with a [[Kotoamatsukami|special technique]]. Before he could be pressed on this matter, [[Zetsu]] of Akatsuki appeared and told the Kage that Sasuke Uchiha was nearby. The Raikage apparently killed Zetsu and left with his bodyguards to fight Sasuke, and the Kazekage followed with his own bodyguards soon afterwards. While the Raikage was gone Danzō explained that his manipulation of Mifune was because what he perceived to be a need for the ninja world to be brought together in order to stop the endless conflicts. When Sasuke arrived at their location Danzō fled with his bodyguards, he being Sasuke's target.
 
 
Sasuke was unable to follow Danzō, being stopped by the Mizukage and Tsuchikage. Before he could be killed by the latter he was saved by Tobi, who sent him away to recuperate. When the Raikage and Kazekage returned, Tobi told those in attendance about his [[Eye of the Moon Plan]]: his desire to unite the tailed beasts back into the original [[Ten-Tails]] so that he might bring the whole world under his control. To that end he requests the Kage give him the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails. When the Kage refuse, Tobi declares the start of the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]] and leaves.
 
 
== Resolutions ==
 
With these new developments, the Kage and Mifune agreed to form a [[Allied Shinobi Forces|Shinobi Alliance]], pooling their resources to battle Akatsuki and their seven tailed beasts. With the revelation that Kumogakure still had Killer B, and the Hokage's previous actions, A was selected as the group's leader. They choose not to work with Danzō but, knowing Konoha's contributions would be vital to the war effort, agree to inform Konoha of their plan through other channels: [[Kakashi Hatake]].
 
 
In terms of tactics, the Kage decide to immediately secure B and Naruto to make sure they do not fall into Akatsuki's hands. The Tsuchikage suggests using the two on the battlefield to bring the war to a swift end, but the other Kage disagree, believing that would make it too easy for Akatsuki to capture them. Instead, protecting them both will become a top priority. The Kage Summit ends, and the Kage depart to inform their respective villages and [[daimyō]] of their decisions.

History

File:First Gokage meeting.png

The first ever Kage Summit is convened.

The first ever meeting of the five Kage was convened by Hashirama Senju, the first Hokage, to discuss the formation of the hidden villages and to sign a memorandum that would work in favour of the progress and prosperity of their people. Present at this meeting along with Hashirama was the First Raikage, First Tsuchikage, First Mizukage, and First Kazekage. Accompanying them to the meeting was Tobirama Senju, the incumbent Second Raikage, , an unknown Kirigakure-nin, and the incumbent Second Kazekage. In an attempt to balance the power between the villages and as a sign of goodwill, Konohagakure intended to distribute the tailed beast which Hashirama had captured. The First Kazekage, however, noted that Sunagakure already had a tailed beast within their possession and instead asked for an alternative payment of a portion of the fertile land of Konoha, their closest neighbour, and 30% of the asking price from each of the tailed beasts that the other nations would pay for. Outraged at this to the point of threatening war against Sunagakure, Hashirama was able to quell their rage through honestly speaking of his hopes for the future of the shinobi.[1] Unfortunately, the peace did not last and competition between the villages eventually led to the First Shinobi World War.

Kage Summit

The Kage Summit convened by A in the Land of Iron.

Since then, it is unknown how many other meetings were convened though the most recent was convened in response to the threat of Akatsuki: who had been working on capturing the nine tailed beasts or their jinchūriki. At the start of Part II, Akatsuki had captured two tailed beasts and progressively worked their way through capturing the others. When it appeared that the Eight-Tails' jinchūriki Killer B had also been captured, the Fourth Raikage A convened the Summit to be held in the neutral Land of Iron. Accompanying A were his bodyguards Darui and C. Also in attendance was the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki with his bodyguards Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi, the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumī with her bodyguards Ao and Chōjūrō, the Fifth Kazekage Gaara with his bodyguards Temari and Kankurō and finally the Candidate Sixth Hokage Danzō Shimura and his companions and Torune. During the process of selecting a Supreme Commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces, Ao revealed to the five Kage and their respective bodyguards that Danzō was manipulating Mifune with the use of Kotoamatsukami. However the Kage would not have ample time to punish Danzō as Akatsuki-affiliated group, Taka, would attack the summit and fight the Kage. During the commotion Danzō would use this time to escape with his bodyguards. The Summit would culminate in Tobi declaring the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Kage were able to band together and decided to form the Allied Shinobi Forces in order to stop this threat once and for all.
