The Brilliant Military Advisor of the Hidden Leaf

Mu proceeds to summon the Kage that Kabuto reanimated, explaining their situation while arguing with Second Mizukage Gengetsu Houzuki over the duel that killed them years ago. They are surveyed by Gaara, who sees the group to include his father: the Fourth Kazekage Rasa. Meanwhile, the Allied Shinobi Forces headquarters learn Darui's coastline division will be facing the White Zetsu and a powerful reanimated ninja group consisting of Kakuzu, Tsunade's former lover Dan Kato, Neji's father Hizashi Hyuga, and the Gold and Silver Brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku. Ay is dissuaded from joining the fight by his strategist Shikaku Nara, who reformulated a battle formation so all divisions can acquire ample support. But Onoki decides to join Gaara's forces to counter the threat Mu presents in being both undetectable and possessing a Kekkei Tota like himself.
