Naruto and all the kages were having a huge headache recently. The villages were basically starved of resources. Only Darui had a relief for sometime as him helping in the New York war had earned him quite a bit of resources from SHIELD but it was only a stop gap measure. But today finally all the kages got a call for attending the 5 kage summit in the land of fire.

They all finally saw a ray of hope as they could discuss it out with the lords and find out the reason of the recent change in behavior of the lords. They all traveled to Japan as now all the kages have their own quinjets provided as gifts by SHIELD.

SHIELD too knew of their kage meeting but Nick Fury didn't interfere in it. They all reached their meeting room and greeted each other. Soon the lords arrived in person and everybody sat in their respective places.

"Fire Daimyo, I want to know has there been any grievances between the hidden leaf village and you? I don't remember us being doing anything bad for the country." Naruto said spoke the moment everybody sat down.

"ho ho .. No No Hokage. It's all been good. It's just that the country hasn't been very productive this year. This is the reason that the resources are scare. I believe it will be over soon."

Darui and others didn't believe it and immediately retorted and soon there was a commotion between the lords and the kages, a blue mist appeared in the room in a matter of a sec. Before the kages could react the blue mist covered the entire hall.

The kages watched in horror as their bodies just melted away while the lords were absolutely fine and smiling at them. In a minute nothing remained except a few slag. Whitehall had checked the slag from the previous one of the ninja that he had experimented upon but it turned out to be just human decomposition with no value whatsoever.

After about 10 minutes a quinjet landed near the meeting room. Out came Whitehall and some agents. They entered the room only to see the slag from the death of kages. He was ecstatic as he saw his plan coming to fruition.

Actually Whitehall had doubts too, it was fine that the kages were dead but two kages had tailed beasts inside their bodies.

"Is the poison so strong that it destroyed the bodies of tailed beasts too? Is this all an act by the kages and the lords to catch us?"

Even though Whitehall had doubts he still insisted on this path as there was no turning back at this point. If Hydra manages to kill John then it would mean that they are in the right track. As long as John dies it would be a huge victory for Hydra.

Whitehall looked at the lords as they covered their noses from the smell of slags after human decomposition. They were fine as they had antidotes. He just smiled wickedly at them and said

"The kages are no more. You can declare this on their villages tomorrow. We will carry out the assassination of John soon. In a week time all the high levels of Hydra will come together and discuss our future plans. Hope you all would be there."

"Yes! We will definitely be there." said a lord as he too smiled at Whitehall.

They both knew that the end meeting would be an all out war and it would determine which world controlled which. By now the lords knew most about Hydra and their plans for world dominance. Like others the lords too wanted more power by controlling this new world after dismantling Hydra and taking over them.

New York

John had woken up like every other day. But he was all alone as Emma had gone away for training in Oa. John didn't want to disturb her training so he didn't contact her. John went to the Disney headquarters in NY with Bumblebee like always.

During lunch like always he went to the roof for having his food in tranquility while watching videos. John always loved watching something while eating, it was one of his habit.

As he was eating peacefully, a sniper from far away pointed the long muzzle of a soviet made gun. He had a metal left arm and wore mask with heavy shades on his eyes. He took deep breaths as he pointed the gun's aim at John's head. After a minute or so when John was eating his food leisurely, the sniper took the shot.

The bullet went straight to his head. John's head blasted like a watermelon being bombed inside. Nothing remained. The body without a head couldn't sit straight for a second more and fell down.

The bullet's impact was so huge that all the people downstairs heard it. The people downstairs knew something was wrong and many made a run upstairs as their chairman was having his lunch at the roof.

When the people came to see what had happened, the ladies screamed in top of their lungs and even the men who came almost vomited out whatever they had in their stomach. This was a horrible scene to watch as blood was splashed all over the place and a body without a head was bleeding in the floor.
