Ep. 200: Naruto pleads with Ay to halt Sasuke's execution amid rising tensions.
Naruto begs Fourth Raikage Ay to cancel Sasuke Uchiha's death sentence to prevent a cycle of hatred between their villages. Ay dismisses this as naive, stating he aims to condemn the Akatsuki and their allies. During the Kage summit, Gaara notes the Akatsuki targets Jinchuriki, while Onoki criticizes Gaara for seeking help. Danzo reveals the Akatsuki is led by the supposedly dead Madara Uchiha. Ay explains the meeting tests trust, noting his village has no Akatsuki origins. Mei Terumi admits past use of Yagura Karatachi as a compromised Jinchuriki. Gaara learns villages previously hired Akatsuki mercenaries, citing Hidden Sand and Orochimaru. Onoki justifies this as a power move. Finally, mediator Mifune proposes forming the first Shinobi Alliance, appointing Danzo as its leader.
