I do not own Naruto (i am not that smart).
"Talking" will be done with the normal font.
'Thoughts' will be done by Italic.
Anyway lets begin, i will include a summary of some of the main points of the story at the end of this chapter, if you wish to read it now or look at it afterwards, you may, but i am going to keep a lot of the details to myself, i don't want to ruin it before it has a chance to begin.
Chapter 1- The Boy.
This forgotten path in the Land of Fire has been empty, secluded on the borders and avoided from fear of attacks. The only ones to travel it are those strong enough to handle the bandits that roam these parts. Even so, this proved to be no problem for two men walking down the path in the middle of the night.
"That's the twelfth one tonight, did we have to go this way? I thought you knew your way around!?" The first to speak was rather tall compared to the other and had a very muscular build. He was wearing a straw hat that covered most of his face but even at night you could still glimpse his small rounded eyes, they seemed to be lifeless.
"I do, and they are no threat to us, also they wouldn't alert the Hidden Leaf, it's important for us to stay hidden." The second was not as threatening from how he stood, he appeared to be the weaker of the two.
"We can handle a few Leaf Shinobi. Not wanting to get your hands dirty?" The man glanced at his partner smiling while he taunted him.
"Just do what i say. Now be quiet, unless you want another annoyance finding us." He turned around and his eyes sent a strong message, the intensity of his stare made it clear he was in charge, he wore the same straw hat as well, covering most of his face.
"Fine." He admitted defeat as he turned forward and kept walking. The two men were wearing the same black coats with a red cloud insignia branded on multiple places of the coat and a chin high collar. What was distinctively different was what seemed to be a massive bandaged up sword on the taller one's back. "Do you feel that?"
"Hm?" He turned around as the wind started to get a bit stronger. "Kisame?"
"What is it now?" He turned to face him, the wind still getting stronger.
"This chakra feels strange." He looked back at Kisame.
"You look worried there Itachi. You're an Uchiha, act like..." Kisame was cut off as a big gust of wind hit them. Then out of nowhere something began to materialise right before them, coming through what looked like a wormhole
was a body. "What the heck am i seeing!?" He yelled as he was being knocked off balance by the wind. With the body in full view the wind suddenly stopped and the body hit the ground like a rock. They both slowly walked closer. "Is it alive?"
"I'll check its pulse." Itachi proceeded to lean down and place his fingers on his neck. "Seems ok to me."
"Well that's a start i guess." Kisame seemed to be sceptical, still unsure about what happened. "Just
wish he wasn't naked." The boy appeared to be in his early teen years and had no signs of muscle. His dark long untamed hair laid out on the ground. "Wake up you stupid kid!" The boy's body jumped when Kisame yelled but he didn't get up.
"We're wasting time, leave him." Itachi stood up and faced the boy, as he did he saw the boy opening his eyes. "..." Kisame started to walk off as he realised Itachi was frozen on the spot.
"Hurry up! Who's wasting time now huh?" He turned around to see a astonished look on Itachi's face. "What's wrong with you?"
"..." Itachi still stood there looking at the boy. "...Kisame."
"What is it!" Kisame getting a little tired of the situation walks up to Itachi and looks down. "So what's..." Kisame froze also. "That can't be what i think it is, there's no way anyone could just stumble on someone with... 'that'." The boy looked up at them to reveal his eyes were not normal, but they were light purple with a ripple like pattern spreading over his eyes. "Why does he have the Rinnegan!"
"..." Suddenly the Rinnegan fades revealing his dark black eyes and the boy passes out. "...We need to tell the others.""How do you suppose we do that? Just take him with us and say 'look what we found in the middle of nowhere' cause I doubt they'd believe us." Kisame still couldn't believe it himself.
"Well what else do you suggest we do? We have a member of the Akatsuki with the Rinnegan and we know the power it holds, we can't just ignore this Kisame." Itachi backtracks down the path, finds some clothes off one of the bandits Kisame killed, covered up the boy and picked him up over his shoulder. "We will leave him with Pein and then continue to hunt the Nine-Tails."
"Oh this is going to end well, Pein thinks he is God because of his Rinnegan, how is he going to take this?" They start walking back the opposite way towards the Village Hidden in the Rain. "Do you think he'll freak out?"
"I can't tell you how he will react to this, we will just have to wait and see, now be silent, i don't want
to be talking all the way to the Hidden Rain." Itachi then turned away from Kisame. 'All i know is this boy has an enormous amount of chakra.'
They gradually made their way back to the village and the boy occasionally opened his eyes on the way, but the Rinnegan wasn't active, still dormant behind those dark black eyes. "Itachi! Come on don't just pretend I'm not here. We should think this through, if the Rinnegan isn't showing the others may not believe us." Kisame was still bugging Itachi even though he was ignoring him.
"I..ta..chi." Kisame and Itachi froze. The boy finally spoke after all that time. "Itachi..." Even though all
he could manage to say was the young Uchiha's name. Then he passed out again.
"Looks like he's taken a liking to you." Kisame teased. "Too bad now, we are here so we better drop him off." They had arrived at a massive tower in the middle of the Hidden Rain.
"Why are you two here, Pein won't be happy about this." Itachi and Kisame turned around to see a woman with blue hair and amber eyes, she had a very expressionless face along with a piercing under her lip and a flower in her hair. "That boy better be the Nine-Tails."
"Umm, well this isn't the Nine-Tails but-" The woman's face twitched, it almost seemed like she had an angry expression. Kisame was panicking a bit from this.
"Konan." Itachi faced her and she calmed down. "This boy has something that would interest Pein." Konan stared at Itachi, as if to say 'tell me already'. "He possesses the Rinnegan." They all remained silent.
"Impossible..." Konan muttered finally breaking the silence.
"It's true Konan, why would we lie!" Kisame stepped in. "We saw it ourselves."
"..." Konan stared at the two and they both knew not to say anything this time. "...Follow." She finally said as she went inside the tower with Itachi and Kisame close behind.
"Well that went well." Kisame whispered to Itachi, who was still ignoring him.
'This boy better show the Rinnegan again, or-' Itachi's thought was cut off.
"We're here, you can tell him yourselves." Konan said as she walked off. Kisame went to open the door when Itachi stopped him.
"What's the big deal?" Itachi shoved him aside.
"You're not to say a word while we are in there." Itachi then opened the door to see six red-headed males in machines all with the same cloak as Itachi and Kisame. "Pein." At that moment one of the males stepped out of his machine. "We have something you need to see." The man approached Itachi.
"What is it." He said very bluntly.
"This boy has the Rinnegan." He said as he took him off his shoulder and held him with both hands. Pein remained silent and didn't show any signs of moving until he opened the boys eyelids himself. There was silence until Pein muttered.
"Almighty Push." Suddenly the boy flew out of Itachi's arms and slammed hard against the wall. "Is this some kind of joke?" Itachi and Kisame were speechless. "Itachi I never expected this of you."
"I..ta..chi." They all turned to see the boy was standing, but barely.
"That's impossible. Where did you find this boy?"
"Itachi." The boy kept repeating. "ITACHI!" The boy yelled before raising his hand at Pein.
"What is he d-" Pein got cut off as he was lifted off the ground. "What's happening." He said before his body was flying towards his machine in the same fashion as his own Almighty Push. He crashed into the machine at a blinding speed.
"Itachi what just happened!?" Kisame yelled as they both turned around to see the boy panting heavily with his arm still raised and his Rinnegan eyes glaring at Pein. "They activated again. Why did he yell your name like that?"
'He must have thought he was protecting me.' Itachi thought to himself as Pein finally got back up from the rubble of the machine.
"How is this possible!" Meeting the boys stare he saw the Rinnegan staring back at him. "Where did you find him!" Pein was highly agitated from being hit by his own signature move.
"We found him in the Land of Fire, he just appeared out of nowhere." Kisame explained,
"Itachi." The boy looked straight at Itachi as his Rinnegan faded once more and he collapsed on the floor. Itachi walked over and picked up the boy. The other two just stood there in silence, not believing what
they saw.
"He must think a lot of you, how does he know your name? Pein questioned. It seemed like he calmed down.
"He must have heard it from me when we were talking on the way here."
"Don't you mean 'you' talking Kisame. I don't remember speaking to you on the way here." Itachi then walked over to a table at the end of the room and placed the boy on it.
"What do you suppose we do about him Itachi." Pein asked. Making it seem like this was somehow his decision.
"Why would you ask me? I'm not the leader of the Akatsuki."
"But the boy thinks highly of you. I'll leave his fate in your hands." Pein already knew his answer though.
"I think it's best that he stays here with you and learns how to use the Rinnegan."
"And?" Pein didn't hear the right answer.
"And becomes a member of the Akatsuki, we can't let anyone else have him with this power." Pein heard the
answer he was expecting and raised his arms up."
"Then this boy will be a member of the Akatsuki!"
End for Chapter 1.
Ok firstly before you think I'm just making the Rinnegan stuff up randomly I'm not, his Rinnegan was acquired the correct way unlike Nagato. I just had to think of a way where this was possible and then go from there. (Although the way he gets it will not be explained for a while, unless you figure it out yourself.) I will take any constructive criticism that comes to light because i know I'm not the greatest writer in the world. Feel free to give me a review telling me what i did wrong. I'm sorry to those that already read this or followed it. I reposted this because it had a few errors I needed to correct. It won't happen again.
Anyway thank you for reading and see you next chapter.
