Five Kage Summit's Eve

The Five Kage Summit's eve gathers the world's leaders as the threat of the Akatsuki and Sasuke's rampage demand unprecedented cooperation. The episode sets the stage — the five great villages' Kage converging at the Land of Iron, old rivalries and new fears in the room, Danzo representing a Konoha he seized. The summit that will decide the world's response to war assembles. It's the canon arc's setup, the geopolitical stakes of Shippuden's second half taking shape as five leaders prepare to meet over the fate of the shinobi world.
