Sasuke's residence.
.
Karin with a smile was rubbing her swollen belly, she turned to face Sasuke and said, "Sasuke, I've already thought of a name, if it's a girl, I want to call her Kiyomi, I'll let you decide for the boy's name".
"Alright, if it's a boy I'll name him Indra, my ancestor's name", Sasuke spoke up while walking towards Karin and sat down beside her, naturally he still had that prideful state of his, though it's calmed down a bit.
'Knock' 'knock' 'knock'
Just as he sat down, the door to his house was knocked on, "go answer, why are you still sitting", he reluctantly stood up and opened the door.
What came into his view was a smiling Mikoto, her belly also slightly rounded, "well, aren't you going to let me in or are you planning on letting your mother stay outside".
Sasuke instantly look down at the floor and stepped aside, just as Mikoto walked in, Sasuke saw another foot, so he looked up at the figure, it was none other than Kuraiya in his wrathful state.
"We meet again, this place might not be able to handle my big frame", "Kuraiya!, return back to your normal form", Kuraiya instantly shrunk down, losing two feet of height from the scolding.
Sasuke was absolutely terrified, especially seeing those golden eyes piercing down at him, it looked like a ferocious animal, the pressure he felt just now was suffocating him, the moment Kuraiya returned to normal, he patted his shoulder, "sorry about that, I couldn't help myself".
Kuraiya shoved a gift he brought, right into Sasuke's arm's and walked right past him, "Sasuke, why are you still standing over there, come here!".
Karin shouted, Sasuke who was standing at the door fell forward and held onto the door breathing heavily, [die.., die.., I could've died, was he warning me, warning me so that I shouldn't stray into an evil path.]
Seeing Kuraiya's squinted gaze as he stood behind Mikoto, he understood, [I see, so you want me to settle down completely, it must be because mother is worried about me.], he cast a grateful look at his mother and closed the door.
.
1 hour later.
.
'Knock' 'knock' 'knock'
Sasuke who was now speaking with Kuraiya and getting a good understanding of who this man was, he was keenly aware that he had no ambition, apart from growing old and spreading his branches, a lazy life full of ambiguousness.
He stood up and went to the door, behind him Karin followed to see who it could be, upon opening it, he saw Naruto in a red robe with his thumb up, while smiling.
"Hey..., ah", Naruto's eyes went wide after he saw Karin by Sasuke's side with a round belly, [so.. so soon, he's already gonna be a dad, why.., why am I, who am I, no I can't remain single anymore, screw training, I refuse to be left behind.]
(Ah yes, the rivalry between Indra and Ashura is unbreakable)
"Naruto?, why are you spacing out, did the training in that toad place screw with your head", Sasuke seeing he was still silent, nudged Karin to go back inside.
A few meters away from the house, the two were staring at one another, "so you came here to fight me, why?".
"Well, it's to show you, how I would make you my right hand for when I become Hokage, believe it!, I still haven't given up on making you my subordinate".
Sasuke felt uncomfortable, as if he would be forced to leave the village every day, so he decided here and now to voice his thoughts, "I have no desire to be a work horse, especially under you! And if I have to prove it through strength, then we'll just have to fight it out".
Naruto who was smiling, instantly became serious, "then I guess we have no choice, we'll just have to do it with our fist's".
'Thud' 'thud' 'thud'
The two turned to the sound, only to see Kuraiya walking towards them, "who say's one's fist's should do the work, why don't you.., use this!..".
The two instantly tensed up, but when Kuraiya pulled out a deck of cards, they went stupid and their minds went blank, "what?, is not throwing your fists the only thing you two can do, you know, I've been thoroughly put up against all types of people and when it comes to gambling, it's no doubt the best option to settle things".
(He kept out the part where he was forced to play by Tsunade's hands to earn money and he won big time, because of it)
He threw the deck towards the two and was about to go back inside, "since you're back, I'll go invite your mom over too", Kuraiya thought it over and vanished, only to reappear the next second with Kushina.
"What?, my game!..", she turned to Kuraiya, her hair flailing, "calm down, I brought you out of that dark place for a meet up", he pointed his thumb behind him, she followed it and her anger dissipated, then she showed a mischievous smile.
She walked past him and turned her belly to the side, rubbed it slowly, then turned to face Kuraiya and whispered, "he's watching", Kuraiya raised his eyebrow slightly, "you really are a dark one", he couldn't help but give her a strange smile.
"Hehe, Naruto, your sibling is almost here, are you excited to be a big brother", Sasuke instantly went inside the house, not wanting to be involved in this.
Naruto hearing and seeing his mother's belly and words, was like a frozen statue, his gaze went to Kuraiya and he remembered what the toad sage said to him.
'please Naruto boy, you must not ever be that man's enemy, only destruction will be left in his wake, his power is a deterrent to other being's, if he's gone, this world will be destroyed'.
The toad sage saw it in a dream, the moment Kuraiya was sealed by the entire mount myoboku costing their entire life span to dwindle, to only a few years left, the entire world was engulfed in flames and destruction.
And even after the sealing, he broke out after a year, completely enraged destroying half the planet in the process, but after another dream, he saw a completely different scenario.
One where the world was peaceful, but with powerful beings appearing every now and then, only to be obliterated when threatening the world.
After watching Naruto leave he sighed, "I'm so old, let that strong person be, even his children are all monster's", he closed his eyes still remembering how the slug sage told him he was completely stupid to attack Lady Tsunade's man and that she was severing ties with the toads in the dream.
"Well.., are you not excited to see them soon", Kushina seeing that he went quiet, felt a slight irritation, "ah.. no, I'm actually excited, I was just thinking about something else", he quickly waved his hands, his sage mode completely vanishing.
The two old toads were staring intently at Kuraiya, [so this is the man who can destroy all things, he seems quite normal, no hostility at all, that's good.], "well Naruto boy, we'll be going back now, have fun", 'poof'.
Kuraiya didn't even notice the toads were here until they spoke, he turned to Kushina and helped her go inside the house, "hey wait..".
She paused at the door and pulled Kuraiya close, her lips pressing against his own, she let go and smiled mischiefly at Naruto, "hurry and come inside, stop standing there in a daze".
[Is she that intent on making it clear to that guy.], Kuraiya turned to Naruto, "aren't you going to battle it out with Sasuke, how can you beat him in a trance".
Naruto instantly woke up from his stupor, nodded and replied, "I'll definitely beat him, believe it, I'll definitely make him my tool man!".
(Kuraiya had no idea, he had just detoured both Sasuke and Naruto from becoming armless in the future, he had actually saved them from intense depression, nor had he known what the toads wanted to do with him)
Just as Kuraiya was about to enter, he paused and looked into the distance, "you two go in first, I have something to do".
The two entered and Kuraiya walked away, walking towards the person who was standing not far from him.
"Damn brat, you said you would come over to take care of Hanabi, just because she's gonna be he next family head, doesn't mean you can neglect your duties as well".
It was Hiashi, his veins on his face were about to burst, [this damn rogue, not only has he taken my prescious daughter's, I had to make him the second elder of the clan and yet he has no sense of duty at all!.]
Yes Hiashi made Kuraiya Hanabi's speaker and the elder of the clan, even though he doesn't have the Byukagan.
Kuraiya scratched his head, "that's.., can't you and other the elders handle those matters, when you guy's need me for bigger decisions, I'll attend, didn't we already agree on this, don't tell me something big came up".
Hiashi's face went bright red from embarrassment, he actually came here just to get Kuraiya to go and take care of Hanabi, her attitude has completely changed into a ferocious one, her strength has already surpassed his own, so he came to get the big guns.
Kuraiya seeing his expression decided to speak further, he had already guesed the true reason for the visit, "alright, I'll come by later, just wait a bit, I've gotta take care of matters here first".
When Kuraiya left, hiashi just stood still for while, [I can't wait, to see my grandchildren.], Hiashi's inner self completely woke up, he may act stern, but his inner self, was completely soft hearted to his grandchildren.
He walked away and went to buy some toys for Hanabi in advance to quell her anger, yes Hanabi is five months pregnant and her anger isn't towards Kuraiya, it's towards Hiashi.
Her entire bedroom is filled to the brim with toys, due to his excessive amount of doting, it was the same with Hinata, when she first had Gine.
When they leave and he's completely alone with the grandkids, he would rub his face on theirs while crying, "wahhhh.., my prescious granddaughter.., wahhh", that's the reason his hair is always a mess.
And with the kid's, they would usually beat him to a pulp or try to push him away, from the weird old man.
Inside the house with Kuraiya, he had his arms around Sasuke and Naruto, "drink!, if you don't, I won't let you off!", he was completely engrossed in seeing the two struggling to walk.
.
A couple of hours past and now with Nagato.
.
He was currently chasing Obito after six months of chasing, he found him within the land of grass, hidden within a tomb.
"Obito!, there's no where to run now!, almighty push", "shit, how did he find me, did someone give him information about me", yep, it was none other than the waterfall village, they had already found Obito's location, thanks to Kaguya and black zetsu selling him out.
'Boom'
Obito buried himself in the ground, trying to escape while also leaving behind the gedo statue.
Nagato seeing this narrowed his eyes on it, "so Konan was right, this is the real place of the true gedo statue, these eyes, are not mine, she is always right, if that's the case, I'll destroy these eyes after I die, he'll lose all hope of achieving his goal.., I'll use a move my mother kept for me".
'Clap'
"Four symbols seal!", Obito who was burrowing through the ground smashed into a colorful wall, "huh, this is, damnit, izanagi is my only way out of this, but I have to let him think he killed me first".
Pain watching Obito coming out of the ground, landed before him, "are you finally done running, I was getting tired of this cat and mouse game with you".
"Who told you my whereabouts, I at least want to know this", "are you still using Madara's voice and no, no matter how many times you ask, I will not tell you anything".
[Damnit, this bastard, if I had my mangekyō, you'd definitely be in trouble, not only did he know my location, he even knows I'm not using my real voice.], Obito's eye locked onto Pain, with clear irritation.
"Pull!", "guhhh!", Obito was flung towards Pain, but he wasn't gonna let it slide without fighting back, 'clap', "wood release, wooden golem!".
A giant wooden golem appeared and slammed it's fist towards Pain's body, Pain seeing this floated up dodging its range of attack.
He looked at Obito standing atop of the golem, "pull!", he pulled Obito towards himself again, this time he stopped halfway through and the Pain's body smiled.
He raised his hand sending Obito towards the barrier's wall, "oh shit!", he clapped his hands together and many vines started flying towards Obito latching onto himself, trying to slow him down due to the speed he was going, he was slowing down but.
'boom'
"I'm not done yet!, I will make sure you endure pain!", he kept waving his hand slamming Obito into the barrier's wall.
(Bro is using the force from Star wars, just kidding)
'Boom' 'boom' 'boom'
After a full five minutes, Obito was reduced to broken bones in a half dead state, [I've activated izanagi, it should last two days, hopefully he fully kills me here and doesn't think of anything else.]
Just as he thought this, he died from blood loss, Pain floated towards Obito's body and Nagato just as he got close started coughing up alot of blood.
"My hair, damnit, it's gone white, I don't have long, I'll completely destroy that body".
"Almighty push", 'boom', Obito's body was blasted into meat paste, Nagato screamed in pain, his body trembling from excessive use of the rinnegan.
When Nagato left the land of grass he arrived back at the rain village and on his giant wheel chair, he heard the sound of fluttering, so he turned his head to the sound.
On his wheel chair, a piece of paper flung to the floor and started forming into Konan, "Konan, why, why are you here?, 'cough' 'cough' 'cough'".
'Whoosh'
"Agh, rain, why is it always raining here..", Kuraiya appeared behind Konan, due to her pleas of wanting to see Nagato, he went with her.
"Ah, I see, it seems you wanted to say goodbye", Kuraiya sighed and looked up at the sky, he turned to face Nagato and smiled.
"Hey buddy, do you remember what you wanted, I'll make it happen", a small green light shown on his thumb, small like a diamond, he flicked up the small energy ball, straight into the sky.
Konan just smiled, "it better work", she muttered to herself as she watched the whole thing, Nagato frowned watching the show as well and the paths behind him were expressionless.
When the energy ball hit the sky, it spread outward engulfing the entire sky in a green light, after a few seconds, Nagato closed his eyes as he saw the bright sun hitting his face.
"This, the clouds, how?", he turned to Kuraiya with wide eyes, "you did it", Konan spoke and smiled at Nagato, "do you remember when me, you and Yahiko wanted to get rid of the rain".
Nagato's eyes widened even further, "I.. I remember, but why, why do this..", 'cough' 'cough' 'cough' 'cough', "Nagato!", he raised his hand to stop her from getting closer, his face even more pale.
"It doesn't matter, I know you well enough to know why you wanted to do this.., thank you for realizing our dream", [peace, it can never be brought, I've seen what this man can do and what comes to this world can only be stopped by him, the people will naturally go to a place that is most safe, Konoha is that place.]
"Konan, please take the rain civilians to Konoha, at least there, they'll live a better.., a better.., a better life", behind him all the paths fell to the ground as if the connection with the main antenna was disconnected, due to their surprise visit he forgot to destroy the eyes.
"Na.. Nag.. Nagato!", Konan walked slowly towards Nagato, put her hand on his face and felt him to be as cold as ice, 'sob' 'sob' 'sob'.
She raised her hand while crying and wrapped up the body of Nagato in paper, she looked behind him and continued to do the same process with the paths as well.
They floated towards her and she turned to face Kuraiya, "please help me bury them and after, please help me take the civilians to Konoha".
Kuraiya raised his eyebrow, "will they accept, I won't force the one's that want to stay behind", "then let the one's that refuse stay, they'll eventually understand, that the choice they've made is but a life of struggle".
Kuraiya nodded, walked towards Konan and rubbed her cheek, "take your time with your goodbyes, there's no rush".
Konan swallowed hard, wiped her eyes and nodded, "I don't need long".
