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. However, he did not intend to fight with Raikage and his support, so he decided to bury everyone under a pile of stones. And his people came out unscathed and continued the pursuit of Sasuke. When they arrived in the main hall, the leader Kumo tried to spot his opponent, but when Ōnoki told him that Sasuke was gone, Raikage was indignant that someone else had dared to deal with Uchiha, but a moment later Madara appeared, which, to the delight of A, he had a wounded Sasuke on his shoulders. Raikage decided to charge the opponent, but his attack failed. During Madara's monologue about the plan of the lunar eye, Raikage learned that his brother had not been kidnapped, but escaped and was hiding from the whole world, which further agitated the older brother Killer Bee. After the departure of Akatsuki's leader and the declaration of war, Raikage unanimously became the leader of the alliance and with the approval of all Kage, including the resistant Ōnoki, decided to hide Killer Bee and Naruto on the turtle island in Kumogakure, and then went to the village to start searching for his brother. It did not last long, however. During the return journey he came across the fighting Killer Bee from Kisame, whom he and his brother eliminated, and his brother thoroughly scolded for escaping and returned to the village.
