Alliances with Hidden Grass have never been better, and they are being well-established with Hidden Cloud. I will continue in this way until I have every other shinobi village other than Suna and Konoha under my power. After all, if I'm going to start a war, it might as well be a grand one.
I will destroy my enemies, and the land will be reborn. I've realized that immortality doesn't come solely from preserving my body, but also from never being forgotten. Physical immortality, as well as being a name that will be known for generations to come, is the path to true immortality.
Not that I expect the old toad-summoning fool or Tsunade-hime to sit and take it. On the contrary, I'm expecting a good fight. I'm still debating whether or not to allow the Raikage of Hidden Cloud to participate. It is my fight and it would be more of an honor to our past as teammates, but two on two odds are more favorable. Well, there is still time to decide. I will not rush. Impulsiveness is for young fools.
