Chapter 56: The Five Kage Summit
Mado felt like he was on the verge of death. He glanced at Amon Koutaro, who had already passed out from the earlier explosion.
Though Mado was stubborn to a fault, at his core, he was also a victim of the ghouls. Su Xiuyu had no intention of making things worse for him. With a small signal, he gestured to Uchiha Chisato to let Mado go. After all, the man was also a vistim of ghouls.
Having completed their objective, the trio turned and left, not sparing Mado Wuxu or Amon Koutaro another glance.
Of course, that small action of Wuxu calling for help didn't escape their notice.

In the Naruto World
With the Five Kage Summit now officially confirmed, preparations were finally complete. The meeting was to be held in the Land of Rivers—a tiny nation with no choice but to comply with the will of the five great nations.
Hashirama Senju, accompanied by his brother Tobirama, Uchiha Izuna, and Uzumaki Asaoka, set out for the summit. Izuna and Asaoka served as the Hokage's bodyguards.
Throughout the journey, Hashirama exchanged occasional words with Izuna and Asaoka, but the tension with Tobirama was palpable. Izuna didn't even bother acknowledging Tobirama's existence.
Tobirama's known hostility toward the Uchiha clan was reason enough, and as Madara's younger brother, Izuna had no interest in playing nice. As for the Uzumaki clan, they had completely shifted their allegiance to Su Xiuyu. Their alliance with the Senju clan was no more.
The group finally arrived in the Land of Rivers.
