Say what you will about the man but when he got serious the Raikage was nothing to laugh at, Atlas quickly thought through what he was going to say,The Tsuchikage had spoken but while she had a point it was obvious her emotions got in the way of her thinking either that or she was blind to the larger situation. She solely focused on Iwa when this matter was much bigger than her village. The conditions of victory are not yet in my favor, king move into position.
"What can one say about a man who does not want to unify and bring about peace, Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, Our deepest goal is unity and to bring the world as one. However intentions can blind such as in the case of Pain he had good intentions but his methods were all wrong. Who's to say our own methods are right but all we can do is do the best when we are presented with each situation while trying to be fair to everyone" he paused studying the person speaking for the Hokage, he didn't seem like any explanation would change his mind or influence his thoughts.
"Now that is out of the way now let us look upon you General, this is not a dictatorship but a Stratocracy. We Kage's each own our respective milatary and are therefore the controlling heads of the republic, for us not to be not consulted when issuing any mission that is issued under the name of the republic is not only an insult to each of us but also treason. Let us not forget that due to us not giving the mission as one every death will be on your head and some of the Kage's here seem to want to make you accountable, which you are.This matter does not solely focus on one village" he paused and threw a brief look at the Tsuchikage before he continued " but it encompasses every village as we have all be wronged by this action some more than others but let us look at the bigger picture." Atlas said looking each Kage in the eye as he spoke.
"The way I see it there is nothing else that needs to be discussed at this point until we have dealt with your actions this is the highest priority I'm sure all Kage's can agree with that because we can not do anything or preach about unity when we aren't all on the same wave length and in which case there is one word that I'm going to say to you that will determine the outcome of this meeting." Atlas paused building the tension in the room.
"Explain."
