"Talking"
"Thoughts"
Lightning flashed over head, illuminating everything in the area; a body of water that spanned for miles around, little trees here and there either buried under the water, or were nearly buried, little branches sprouting out of the water at odd angles. Two lone figures stood against the rushing currents of water, one with sun kissed blond hair, and the other a brilliant blue that put others to shame, all except for the eyes of the blond. Where the blond's eyes were a splendid blue, the female's eyes were gray and filled with worry as well as anxiety.
"Why did you call me here?", came the blond's voice, brimming with untold confusion as well as a undertone of anger. The Akatsuki had hunted him down, tried to kill him on many occasions and damn-well killed one of his friends and left a monster in his place. Was he angry? Damn straight he was, but he couldn't help feeling a connection with the blue haired Angel. Ever since he had met Nagato and heard his story, he viewed the two of them in a different light. But, he was still angry because he had to come in Ame without any help what-so-ever.
"I am asking for your help, Naruto.", her smooth silky voice drifted towards her potential partner. She needed the blond, even more so than ever. Madara had gotten it through his mind that she was an enemy, and that she had hidden Nagato from him, when she had, but how in god's name did he find out? "Nagato's corpse is being targeted, and I need your help against the person coming towards us. He is ruthless and will not stop until he gains what he needs, and he sees me as his enemy. I want to keep both Nagato and Yahiko's corpses from him, and you're my only chance."
Naruto's brow raised upward, mouth curling down into a frown. Why would someone target Nagato's corpse? "Who is it that wants him?", Naruto's hands clenched into fists, eyes glaring at Konan. He didn't trust her for the most part. She helped kill Jiraiya, and attacked him when he confronted Nagato. His head twitched to the right, as he heard a foot hit the water, making a soft splashing sound. His eyes widened at the person he saw. An orange mask covered the person's face, but he recognized the mask instantly, as well as the dark, Akatsuki cloak, minus the red clouds.
"Hello, Konan.", his voice was deep, but spoke with confidence that matched his posture. The head turned to look at Naruto, the one-visible sharingan blazing to life, his brow arching behind the mask. Why was the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki here? Was it Konan's doing? Or was it just coincidence? Turning to his once companion-turned traitor. "It seems you've done my work for me, now I can obtain the Rinnegan, and the Kyuubi in the same night."
Konan twisted around to look at Naruto, eyes pleading, and fingers twitching. "Are you with me, Naruto?" She was rewarded with a nod from the blond, which made her heart leap in appreciation. Her prayers were answered, and she might be able to protect her dear friends from this fiend. With that, Konan let the paper fold away from her body to reconfigure into her signature white wings. Seeing Naruto charge at Madara, who's attention was still focused on her, she smirked when the attack passed right through him.
Naruto had forgotten about Madara's body-warp. So when his rasengan pushed through his body completely, he was unprepared for the black-clad ninja's hand grabbing a hold of his new black and white coat, styled after the Yondaime's own, just in different colors. The hand let go, and he heard Madara curse and move away from him. Turning around, he caught sight of a paper spear exploding into the ground where Madara had been. Turning to look at Konan, he grinned at her. Turns out she wasn't so bad after all.
Nodding to Naruto, Konan formed another paper-spear in the air beside her, an emotionless mask making her live up to her name as an Avenging Angel, Nagato's avenging Angel. She ignored the pain that coursed through her at the loss of her only remaining team-mate. Throwing it at Madara, she followed up with more, making him go on the defensive and make his body intangible. She cursed that damned intangibility, if there was ever cheating in the Shinobi world, that was it. That was the only reason nobody ever stood up to Madara, that accursed intangibility. Charging at him, she covered her arm in paper; making it rotate rapidly while shaping it, and sharpening the edges to form a spinning drill, much like the late Kaguya's Bone Drill.
As Konan passed through Madara, Naruto's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't react in time, and was too far away. All that separated Konan from the rapidly moving Madara were a few stray pieces of paper. He saw something that confused him even more, Konan's smirk. Then, something amazing happen, Just as Madara had grabbed onto Konan, the papers exploded on his back, making him let go of Konan so that she could retreat. Truly, Konan was a forced to be reckoned with. While marveling at the usefulness of paper, his jaw had dropped and was taken notice by Konan, whom smirked at him.
Madara fell to one knee, his hand pressing against the cold flowing water. Konan proved to be a problem for him, How had he missed those damned pieces of paper? For Konan to use such things were beyond his scope. It would be troublesome if she were to be kept alive, but he had forgotten about the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. His rasengan pushed him into the water, which felt heavier than usual. He tossed it aside as an after-effect of the artificial rain that gave Ame it's name. His Pain rapidly moved through his body as the rasengan continued to drill into him, driving him deeper under the strange water. Then, something changed that scared him and for lack of better words, made him want to punch a child.
Konan's smile became a sly smirk once Naruto's rasengan pushed Madara into the water. Pushing her hands together, her chakra exploded outward, making the large body of water stop it's movements. The water parted around Madara and Naruto's rapidly descending bodies, almost like it wasn't even water at all. Several million slim slips of paper shot out of the water and eclipsed the water in white and brown. Sizzling erupted from the area as Konan descended to join Naruto's rasengan with her paper-spear, feeling it press into Madara's body. Blood splattered against the white paper, dyeing it crimson. She laughed when Madara started spewing absurdities and vulgarities. In one glorious moment, the whole foundation of Ame shook with the explosion that colored the sky a bright orange with reds and yellows dancing around in it's beautiful wake. Then, the next moment, the explosion was gone, the fire, the sparks, the paper, everything was gone. In the battlefield, the trinity were no where to be found, only bits and pieces of their clothing lay scattered around the area, and a certain Uchiha's blood melting into the murky water.
Prologue, OVER! Now, flames and everything are welcome, even maybe some helpful criticism? But, have you any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
Where have the three of them gone? Are they alive, or are they dead?
