Episode Summary
The Five Kage appear! The summit convenes at last: the Raikage A, driven by fury over Sasuke's attack on his brother; the Tsuchikage Onoki, ancient and proud; the Mizukage Mei; the Kazekage Gaara; and Danzo for Konoha. The episode brings the world's most powerful shinobi into one room, each a force of nature, their clashing agendas over the Akatsuki and Sasuke igniting immediately. It's the canon arc's centerpiece convening, the five great powers face to face, the politics of war given flesh in five Kage who could each level a battlefield.
