As Nagato lay on the ground, clutching his head in pain, his body convulsing uncontrollably, Yahiko and Konan's panic grew by the second. The rain continued to pour down, mingling with their confusion and fear. Yahiko knelt beside his friend, his heart racing as he tried to understand what was happening.

"Nagato!" Yahiko shouted, his voice hoarse with desperation. "What's going on? What's happening to you?!"

Konan knelt on the other side of Nagato, her arms wrapped around him as she tried to steady his trembling body. "Stay with us, Nagato," she whispered, her voice trembling as her heart raced with fear. She could feel the tension coursing through his body, the pain evident in every shudder. But she had no idea how to help him.

Nagato's screams pierced through the air, his hands clutching his head as if trying to contain something inside. His body shook violently, his muscles tensing and spasming uncontrollably.

Yahiko's eyes darted up toward Peter, desperation clear in his gaze. "Peter!" he yelled, his voice filled with a mixture of anger and fear. "What the hell is happening to him? What did you do?"

Peter remained calm, standing a few feet away, his eyes focused intently on Nagato. He hadn't done anything, and yet, something unexpected was happening. Something new was awakening inside Nagato. He watched the scene with a look of mild curiosity, observing Nagato's convulsions as if it were an interesting puzzle.

Without responding to Yahiko's frantic questions, Peter stepped forward, his movements slow and measured. "Move aside," he said calmly. "Let me check on him."

Konan hesitated, glancing between Peter and Yahiko. Both of them were panicking, but Peter's calm demeanor gave her a small sense of hope. Perhaps he knew what was happening. Perhaps he could help. Reluctantly, she let go of Nagato and stepped back, allowing Peter to approach.

Peter knelt beside Nagato, his eyes narrowing slightly as he raised his hand. A soft, golden light emanated from his palm, casting a gentle glow over Nagato's body. The rain glistened against the light, refracting in a halo around the two of them. Yahiko and Konan watched in tense silence, their hearts pounding as Peter began his diagnostic spell.

The golden light scanned Nagato's body, starting with his head and moving down to his chest. The spell focused particularly on Nagato's eyes, which remained tightly shut, and Peter's expression shifted slightly as he took in the results of the scan.

As the spell finished, Peter stood up, a surprised but satisfied expression crossing his face. "Well now," he muttered under his breath, "this is interesting."

Yahiko, still frantic, took a step forward, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. "What's wrong with him?" he demanded, his voice trembling with a mixture of fear and frustration. "Is he going to be okay?"

Peter glanced at Yahiko, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips. "He's not in any danger," Peter reassured them. "In fact, I'd say he's extremely lucky..."

Before Yahiko could ask what Peter meant, Nagato's body began to glow. A soft, faint blue light radiated from his skin, growing brighter with each passing moment. The air around them seemed to thrum with energy, and Yahiko and Konan took a step back in shock as the glow intensified.

"Nagato...?" Konan whispered, her eyes wide as she watched the blue light envelop her friend.

'There may be other abilities as well...' Peter thought, but he wasn't sure.

Yahiko and Konan exchanged a glance, their worry for Nagato clear in their eyes. "But how is that possible?" Yahiko asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. "Nagato's not a member of the Hyuuga Clan. How could he have unlocked something like this?"

Peter's brow furrowed in thought. "That's the part I'm still trying to figure out," he admitted. "For someone like Nagato to awaken the Tenseigan... it shouldn't be possible unless there's something we don't know about his heritage."

Nagato, who had been silent as he adjusted to the overwhelming sensation of his new eyes, finally spoke, his voice quiet but filled with curiosity. "My heritage?" he echoed, his gaze lifting toward Peter, though his eyes were still filled with uncertainty. "What do you mean?"

Peter sighed softly, crossing his arms as he considered the possibilities. "The Tenseigan requires a connection to both the Ōtsutsuki and the Hyuuga," he explained. "You already have Ōtsutsuki chakra—that much is clear from possessing Madara's Rinnegan. But the Byakugan is supposed to be the key. It's possible that one of your parents was a Hyuuga, and you never knew. If that's true, then your eyes carried the potential for this transformation all along."

Nagato blinked in surprise, his mind reeling with the implications. His heart raced as he considered what Peter was saying. "A Hyuuga...?" he murmured, his voice filled with disbelief. "But I've always been an orphan. I never knew my parents."

Konan and Yahiko exchanged a worried glance, sensing the turmoil Nagato was experiencing. "Nagato..." Konan began softly, her hand resting on his arm. "If this is true... If you really are a Hyuuga, that means you might have family out there. You could have relatives still alive in Konoha."

Nagato's heart skipped a beat at the thought. Family? He had lived his entire life without knowing his heritage, without ever feeling the warmth of a family. Could it really be possible that he had living relatives? His mind swirled with questions, his emotions conflicted as hope and uncertainty warred within him.

Peter watched Nagato's reaction closely, understanding the weight of what he had just revealed. He had seen the same reaction from others in similar situations—orphans who discovered they had family after years of living in isolation. It was a difficult reality to process, but it also opened up new possibilities for Nagato's future.

Yahiko placed a reassuring hand on Nagato's shoulder. "If this is true, Nagato... maybe we should go to Konoha," he suggested. "You might find answers there. And if you really are connected to the Hyuuga Clan, they might help you train your new eyes..."

Konan nodded in agreement, her voice gentle. "We've spent our lives fighting for peace in Amegakure, but you deserve to know who you are, Nagato. Maybe this is your chance to find out."

Nagato's mind raced as he considered their words. For so long, he had defined himself by the pain and suffering of his past. But now, for the first time, he felt a flicker of hope—a chance to discover something more, something beyond the endless cycle of war and destruction.

After a moment of silence, Nagato nodded slowly, his voice quiet but determined. "I... I want to know," he said, his gaze steady. "I want to find out if I have family in Konoha. If there are answers there, I need to see them for myself."

Yahiko and Konan smiled, their relief evident as they saw the resolve in Nagato's eyes. Despite the uncertainty that lay ahead, they knew this was a step Nagato needed to take.

Peter, watching the scene unfold, grinned slightly. "Well, it looks like we've got a plan," he said with a wave of his hand, opening a golden portal. "Konoha it is..."
