Pein was a complicated man. God himself was complicated. He ruled over his land with his angel, and his loyal Akatsuki, he fought to bring peace. Though others didn't see things this way, and thus they fought to stop him. The world feared the change, it was just that way. No one was willing to put in the work to bring peace, nobody but he.
And Konan.
Not his woman, but his angel. He adored her, for she was like him. The one and only that could understand why they did what they did. No matter how terrible, she remained the only one he could trust.
He didn't want to have to sacrifice so many for peace, but he had to, for Yahiko, for Konan.
But he wasn't completely heartless..
He believed in the good, he believed everyone could have a pure heart.
Those that could be like Konan.
Because there was someone he did desperately wish to save.
A girl,
Not an ordinary girl,
But someone like his Konan,
An angel.
This angel was exotic,
Pink hair, something he had never seen before,
Atleast not on a ninja..
She claimed to be a fighter, but he saw what she really was.
He saw this angel put her heart out on the line each time she fought for that useless village she believed in.
He saw this during her battle against Sasori.
She was no shinobi
The way she had willingly put her life in front of that old woman, just to save one life, although she could save tons each day. She could be at his side, along with Konan, they could bring peace together.
He just had to make her see things his way.
He would deny fate this once, to bring one angel home
He wouldn't let her shed any more tears.
