Chapter 44

Ryuji: [Here take this kunai, if anything happens use it to contact me.]

"Sand, Mist, Rock are out … Madara don't control Obito anymore.

Now I must deal with Cloud, Rain and Nagato." Thought Ryuji.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minato become devasted after knowing about another one of his students, Rin Nohara 'death'. The only members knowing about Obito and Rin situation were Ryuji, his wives, Kakashi and Sakumo. Ryu didn't explain to the young Namikaze because Minato still held great respect towards his sensei and Sarutobi old monkey. He doesn't want to create any variable and compromise such important task. As Sarutobi's decisions as a leader were flawed and he couldn't place any trust on him.

The war against Iwa was finally over but Onoki started conflicts against Hidden Cloud after his explosion squad were being accused of ambushing his elite force. Ryuji using Kotoamatsukami on Onoki's elite squad destroyed their already fragile Alliance.

Ryuji and Tsunade become even more famous after destroying Rock shinobi in front of their Kage. Renewing his entry in the Bingo Book.

Kushina also gained entry after killing 'missing-nin' that were trying to attack some Uzumaki clansman who were traveling between Konoha and the fire capital.

After Konoha's show of power against Onoki, Kumo's started to have second thought about keep waging war. Scared about losing his lands, the land of lightning Daimyo of called for a meeting.

Raikage: [My Lord, I ȧssure you that we will surely win this war.] trying to calm the Daimyo.

Daimyo: [I want a guaranty … How are the chances that we will be the losing side?] said in hurry and with uncertain tone voicing his worries.

Raikage: [I am the guaranty … this time I will lead myself.] answered decisively giving a better sense of safety. The discussion followed by a few hours about security measures against hidden Rock.

Kumogakure's 3rd Raikage rushed towards an underground hidden laboratory as soon as his meeting was finished.

Orochimaru: [I ȧssume your meeting wasn't pleasant…] said the Snake Sannin as he was running tests and doing annotations.

Raikage: [I will be joining the war against Konoha's main camp and you will come with me.] said without leaving any choice.

Orochimaru: [Kukukuku, Tsunade is to soft when it comes to Nawaki. She was devastated after hearing about his death.]

[She will join the battlefield and with this we can control Hidden Leaf counter attacks.] the 3rd Raikage just narrowed his eyes at him.

"I will kill you if you survive in this war. Slippery snake lost your usefulness." Thought the Raikage as he went back to his office.

"Kukukuku, such pitiful Raikage, thinks I don't know you want to dispose of me …. I still have some research to do … it's time to change my laboratory." Thought Orochimaru.

-Outskirts of Amegakure-

Standing near a cliff was Hanzo the Salamander, leader of Amegakure, he was accompanied by some of his shinobi squads who were guarding a hostage, a kneeling blue haired woman.

Nagato: [Yahiko … what should we do?] asked his childhood friend as he was lost and panicking.

Hanzo: [Hurry and finish him or your female friend here, will die.] increase the pressure on them.

[Protect Konan … take care of her] without waiting for his red-haired friend, Yahiko jump at his kunai.

Konan: [NOOO, YAHIKOOOO] screaming and crying at his death. Nagato stood frozen near his dead body for a few seconds before looking at Konan.

Hanzo: [Kill him.] without giving him time, the Salamander ordered his surrounding squads to attack.

Nagato look at a rain of kunai and shuriken aimed at him and with an angry glare from his Rinnegan, he sent a powerful pulse stopping all throwing weapons, still looking enraged Nagato run towards Konan.

Reaching her location and helping her get up, Nagato was removing her bindings when noticed that the floor where she was kept was filled with explosive tag.

Hanzo at a safe distance activated his trap, unfortunately for him, Nagato still got Konan safe with him, getting out having slightly burn injuries on his legs from the explosion.

[Kuchiyose – Gedo Mazo] a great cloud of smoke appeared, summoning the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, black receivers extended from its abdomen and pierced the young Uzumaki's back, rendering his body emaciated. After giving a loud roar, the statue's mouth then emitted chakra in the form of a dragon capable of extracting the chakra of anything it touched.

The chakra dragons formed passed through the nearby enemy shinobi removing their chakra, leaving their bodies drying from energy immediately killing them. Their chakra were removed terrifying the nearby shinobi, as they could see their comrade's souls being extracted.

As the summoned dragon killed almost everyone near its wielder. He rushed towards Hanzo the Salamander, who used his extended fighting experience to swiftly avoided contact with the attack.

After sensing that Hanzo escaped, Nagato stopped his summon, serving its purpose the statue disappeared while the receivers broke off and remained embedded in Nagato's back

Konan: [N-N-Nagato, Y-y-yahikoo …] crying over her friend body.

Nagato: [This world will never know about true peace … If they don't understand each other's pain.] whispered.

Ryuji: [Pain?? There are better ways to achieve peace.] approaching them out of nowhere.

Konan jumped ahead of the exhausted Nagato prepared to give her life to protect her last childhood friend.

Ryuji: [Relax … I came here to talk.] waving his hands to make himself look harmless.

Nagato: [What do you want?] narrowing his eyes wary about Ryu sudden appearance. Nagato was worried about Konan safety as he was exhausted after using his powers. He lost Yahiko and promised that he would do anything to keep her safe.

Ryuji: [I want you to hear me after I revive your friend.] said leaving Nagato stunned and Konan showed hope.

Nagato: [C-can you revive Yahiko?] still unsure and wary of the mysterious wolf masked man.

Ryuji didn't answer, keeping walking near Yahiko's body.

Ryuji: [It seems you still don't have full control or know all your Rinnegan's abilities.]

Ryuji: [Let me show you, The Outer Path known as the seventh Path — an ability granted to the wielder of the Rinnegan. With the Outer Path, the user is able to revive the dead and will also be able to transmit chakra to receivers.] explained as he summoned king of hell.

Nagato: [You … no way … you have the Rinnegan too.]

Konan: [Yahiko??] said bringing Nagato out of his thoughts.

Yahiko: [Hnnn …. Where I am?] groaning as he tried to sit straight.

[WHAT? NAGATO? KONAN? I am not dead?] confused seeing his friends around him safely.

[Hanzo …. Where is he?] looking around warily.

Nagato: [It's alright, Hanzo fled. Let's go talk at a better place.]

Before Ryu start to follow them towards their hideout, he called Obito, who was hidden. The trip towards their hideout was long, they didn't encounter any problems.

Ryuji: [What made you create Akatsuki?] not even bothering looking around the dark cave.

Yahiko: [We are orphans … because of war between the great villages, we who are from smaller villages were caught in the crossfire.]

Nagato: [I lost my parents because of war.] bitter remembering his father fighting against the invaders in his house.

Konan: [We almost died from hunger in our childhood, if wasn't for Yahiko.]

Yahiko: [There were good encounters too, we became Jiraya-sensei's students.] said with pride of being disciple of one of the legendary Sannin. They talked about their lives and their goals.

Ryuji: [Our goals are the same … I have a long plan to achieve peace, but I will need your help.] explaining his plans with Obito's help after sensing that Zetsu wasn't spying, making sure they were alone.

Ryuji explained about his plans, he talked to Nagato about his parent's death, Madara involvement and schemes and his eyes origins. Yahiko took his friends away to hear their ideas and if they agree to Ryu's plan.

Nagato: [I think that is a good plan …] answered to Ryu.

[When I thought I lost, Yahiko and I could lose Konan too, I felt rage… when I used Rinnegan powers, I-I felt invincible…]

Yahiko: [Nagato …]

Nagato: [After coming to my senses, I noticed that the only way to connect and understand each other was through pain. I am sure now that my anger and sorrow clouded my reasonings.] Yahiko gave a pat on his shoulder.

Konan: [A-are you sure it will work? We will become criminals.]

Obito: [I thought about it too, then I decided to use a mask and a new name.] showing his orange swirl like mask.

Ryuji: [Use your chakra receivers to control others to manage Akatsuki while you, Yahiko and Konan finish Hanzo and take control over Amegakure.] explaining to Nagato about how to control Akatsuki in the dark while staying in the light as future advisor or Kage in Rain.

Obito: [We talked a lot, but you didn't explain, why you named your organization as Akatsuki?] tilting his head in curiosity.

Yahiko: [Well …. Amegakure rains all time, I never so any sunlight in my life here …. we want Ame to be a better place and we wanted our team to be the light of hope, so I named Akatsuki (Dawn)] scratched his cheeks embarrassed as he was the one who choose the name.

Ryuji: [Alright, today marks the birth of the New Akatsuki. Obito will act like Madara Uchiha. I will support whenever I can.] gave them communication seals.

{*Ding*

"Now I will head to fight against Kumo and then finish with Kiri's civil war. I seriously need a long vacation." Thought Ryuji.

"Konoha will have Amegakure and Kirigakure's Alliance, at least Konoha will be safe till I return with my wives."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(AN: Some might ask: Why Nagato and Konan weren't wary of Ryuji? There is a chance they betray our MC? There were torn after Yahiko's death, their best friend was revived to continue their dreams for Ame, they will be a little wary and not trust fully but it will change with time. Their will be no betrayal.

Obito will come back to konoha and Act as Anbu with Ryuji. His Tobi persona will help Nagato with Akatsuki and act when Zetsu is near.)
