It was a day like any other for the young man known by the name Pein. He had no family, and not much was known about him, he traveled alone with his childhood friend, Konan, and recently with the war in his home ending, it was the new dawn. The land in which he lives is constantly drenched with a torrential downpour of rain, endless rain. Strange enough, was this day, that for a brief moment, the rain stopped, which only happens on very substantial circumstances. Walking back to his home, was the moment his life was forever changed. in the brief time in which this rain stopped, a book falls from the sky, which is narrowly saved from the ocean-like lower ground of the village. "Death Note" Read the book, the instructions read simply "Whoever's name is written in this book, will die."
"Hm, this can't be legit, no way. But why would it stop raining if this was some sick joke? Only one way to find out..." Pein hides the strange notebook in his cloak. As he arrives, he's immediately greeted by Konan, who is confounded by his strange behavior. "I have to test this on someone, someone who deserves no better than death" he writes the name in bold letters "Hanzo of the Salamander" the name of the country's current leader. The book stated that 45 seconds after the name was written the person would die of a heart attack, he timed everything perfectly, until...
"PEIN! GET DOWN HERE! IT'S IMPORTANT!" Pein rushed down the stairs to see the breaking news update on the television
"Leader of Amegakure, Hanzo of the Salamander has died of a heart attack. A new leader will be determined by the united nations" Pein begins thinking
"My god, it worked, my vengeance is finally come for him killing my best friend, after all these years...with this Death Note...I can bring and end to the endless rain of the village!" Pein runs immediately back upstairs, Konan still completely dumbfounded by his sudden anxiety and hastiness. A masked man in a robe marked with a red cloud appears behind Pein, startling him.
"Greetings, Mr. Pein, my name is Tobi" Pein is astonished by the man "Shush boy, nobody can see or hear me but you, now let me explain everything to you. I am of a ranking of a clan known as the Uchiha, we are the death gods of this world, disguised as ordinary individuals. Our red eyes known as the Sharingan are the main identification of our ranks. You did not end up with this book by coincidence, I've been watching you. You have what it takes to be interesting indeed, your goals for vengeance and your intelligence, you will go far. But, you are only one of many who will receive the Death Note, it is carried by many every thousands of years or so, almost every great war is started over one, but, I too, have a Death Note, like anybody Pein, you are not god, I can see your name and your life expectancy right now, I could kill you at will and add your remaining years to my life, but that would be pointless, you see, you have a power and I have a power, I suggest a compromise that fits both our needs. You posses the Rinnegan, in exchange for my powers, I will be taking your eyes when your time has come, your death will mark the apocalypse, congratulations Pein, you have become a deity. Another Shinigami will arrive to see the one you live with, when the time comes, your fate will be revealed. You can either follow my orders, and achieve your goals, or do things your own way, but whatever your choice may be, welcome, to the world of the Shinigami."
