Akatsuki's pov:
I was with a group of 3 kids, Konan, Yahiko, and nagato, I was 14 while they where 7, I was guarding over them, I had worn konohagakure's former headband with a slash through the leaf as my suprior Jonin called Akane Hatake, had order us to kill a group of kids and I wasn't going to allow that, I had swung through all 4 of the chunin and then took out Akane with one sword through the chest and another one through the skull I had then taken the kids under my protection.
Flash-back:
I was with my platoon in the mountains they had just thrown kunai attached with paper bombs to the children and their dog and I see they want us to kill those kids and I activate my dojutsu the byakugan and I then pick up my sword and strike them down at their heart as I was called akatsuki the red blade as my blade had been permanently stained by the blood of my enemies hearts that I had stabbed it through during the course of this war, I then jump down and fallow the kids as I first take off my headband and I put it in the back pocket of my utility belt and I throw all all 6 bodies into the river leaving a message drawn in blood over the 3 head bands the 2 arm bands and the 1 belt buckle "Don't kill children you dirty, murderers."
I had followed the kids as they buried the dogs corpse. "who's here." The kid in orange says as It was raining like a downpour so I had used Water Release- Hidden in the rain technique and I undo it. "you kids are lucky." I Say as I show myself I had a sword mark through the leaf. and the kid with red hair like mine started to hyper ventolate. "if you are here to kill us you will have to get through me first!" The boy with orange hair yells as he holds a small kunai in his hands. "I am not here to kill you, if i was I would of killed you when i still had the element of surprise." I Say as I had not armed myself with weapons I had made a small base in the tunnels in the mountains and we where I could store them I only had on my uniform and my headband that had a huge gash through the leaf and I kneel down. "I am sorry for your losses to the evil of my comrades and to the platoons of the hidden leaf, I am going to protect you to the very end of my life." I say as I put both hands onto the ground and bow my head down as tears well up in my eyes. "I wont let you kids die." I Say as I look up at them. "We accpet you, I am yahiko." The orange haired boy says. "i'm konan." The girl with purple hair says. "and I-I'm Yamato." The Boy with red hair said to me.
Back to the current time:
We come across 3 people I had known and met before Tsunade, orochimaru and jiraiya. "we should kill these 3 orphans to end their suffering and we should kill Akatsuki for betraying the village." Orochimaru says and I growl as I decide to speak up. "I was ordered to kill these kids myself and I betrayed that order because I dont kill children!" I yell as pull out my sword and I prepare for a fight. But Jiriaya stops us. "I will take care of the orphans for 2 or 3 years until they are trained, and I think what Akatsuki did should be allowed." Jiriaya says as he looks at me and the orphans.
Time-skip:
I was under jiriaya's teaching so was yahiko, konan and nagato, I had a syringe under my clothes for something worst case scenario, I was eating with jiriya it was a giant fish and I was only eating a bit and not that much as the boys or konan.
Time-skip:
It was time for the final test, we where to try to beat jiriya. "Come at me my students" Jiriya says as I form a rasengan and I rush at jiriya who uses Fire Release: Flame Bullet as I use Water Release: Water Whip to evaperate both the water and the fire. Konan then uses paper shurikens and nagato uses wind release to create great winds and jiriya makes a rasengan and slams it into the water, He then smirks. "you 4 have gotten stronger then I ever could of expected."He says as I smirk. "I must leave you 4 now, Have a wonderful time and a good life." JIriya says and he then leaves, It had been 2 years and I had turned 16.
