At the meeting, Raikage again and again vented his emotions, accusing all those gathered to support Akatsuki as well as the inability to liquidate the organization. However, Raikage himself was not without fault - after all, his village for years gathered the most powerful techniques and trained many shinobi, so the rest could not lag behind. When the shinobi alliance was finally proposed, they began to discuss who should become its leader.
Initially, Raikage was excluded due to his violent nature and lack of control over emotions, which could have caused the alliance to break up, but when Ao discovered genjutsu thrown at Mifune, the leader of the hidden cloud wanted to reckon with Danzō. He did not succeed, however, because Zetsu appeared in the Hall, who announced to everyone the appearance of Sasuke in the seat of the samurai. Raikage didn't wait long. He quickly grabbed Zetsu, then broke his neck, and then together with Shī and Daruim went in search of Uchihy. As soon as the sensor from Kumo tracked down the opponent, Raikage burst into the battlefield, starting a fight with Sasuke and his companions, quickly eliminating Jūgo from the fight and breaking Suigetsu's sword. The fight with Sasuke caused him more difficulties, but the strength of A was enormous, Raikage's fury reached enormous proportions. When the wounded Sasuke was finally forced to use the shield of Susanoo to defend himself against the opponent's blows, he attacked with even greater force and fierce. In the end, Sasuke decided to protect himself with the flames of Amaterasu, but that did not stop Raikage - he first sacrificed his left hand, hitting through the barrier of black fire, and then he was ready to hit straight on the spikes of Amaterasu, but in time he was stopped by Gaara. Having a moment of rest, A decided to cut off the burning hand and quickly undergo first aid so that he could attack Sasuke again.
