Allied Shinobi Forces

The is a coalition between the collective military might of the hidden villages of the Shinobi nations of the Lands of Lightning, Water, Earth, Wind, and Fire, and the lone Samurai nation of the Land of Iron. The purpose of this alliance is to stand up together against the threat of the Akatsuki organization and the tailed beasts, in the Fourth Great Shinobi World War. Because of the deceitful actions of the candidate Sixth Hokage Danzō Shimura, the other Kage asked Kakashi Hatake about the Land of Fire's Hidden Village of Konohagakure's entrance into the alliance. After the summit, the five Daimyo agreed to give power to their Hidden Villages, making the Shinobi Allied Forces official.

The coalition was formed after Madara Uchiha's declaration of war after the Kage refused to hand over Killer Bee and Naruto Uzumaki, the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tailed Giant Ox and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox respectively. When Madara departed, the Kage and Mifune discuss their plans on dealing with Madara and the tailed beasts and later Mifune suggested that the Fourth Raikage be the of the alliance to which the other Kage agreed.

Purpose
The purpose of the coalition is primarily to defend the jinchūriki from Akatsuki. The jinchūriki, once caught, will complete Madara's Moon's Eye Plan. Therefore, the coalition planned to first find the two jinchūriki before Akatsuki and keep them safe, away from the battlefield if necessary. Beyond that, their duty is to put a united front against Akatsuki's seven tailed beasts.

Conflict
The only internal disent present so far comes from the Fifth Hokage who origionally disagreed with how the Jinchūriki were to be treated, and due to her past defense of Naruto she probably only relented due to the need for a united front. Additionally, the Water Daimyo expressed extreme reluctance to agreeing to this alliance since it would give the shinobi even greater power.
