Thanks for the reviews and positives that I got my last chapter, you make me so happy *Gets slightly emotional* any way this one is back with Konan and Pain and I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!

Chapter 3 – Revelations

The thunder claps again and Pain twitches "Yes that's them I can recognise his chakra signature, but I'm not sure about the other three." The rain that is infused with Pains chakra allows him to detect those who even have just one drop of rain on them. "We should wait under the bridge we don't want to be seen or get wet." Konan tells pain, they both lean against the side of one of the beams that support the bridge.

"Pain, do you know who has the contract on Saskue?" Konan asks pain softly "Well it's all of them, all the great nations, excluding the Land of Fire, they all want him dead." Konan looks directly at Pain "Why were we given it? And why not the land of fire?" He sighs "Ever since we met Naruto, I have always understood how we feels about losing someone so dear to you, Saskue is what Yahiko was like to us, Naruto truly believes that he can be changed…" Konan looks down being reminded of Yahiko has brought back horrible memories of his death.

"But are you sure about this Pain? Even though what Naruto said to us." Pain takes a long breath "Of course, Saskue is obstructing the way to true peace, it's hard to accept but someone that corrupted can never be truly be changed." Konan takes a moment to take this all in; she nods and smiles at Pain "The Angel of the rain you look beautiful." Pain then puts his hand on her cheek and she does the same, their foreheads touch and they stand together and they go into a kiss, Pain whispers "My Angel."

Pain looks to his side "What is it?" asks Konan, "There here, let's go." Konan nods and Pain jumps up to the bridge and Konan unfolds into paper to follow. "There not here." Saskue waits for a reply, but there is none, the rain begins to cease. "There!" Karin screams, Konan and Pain land 15 meters in front of them.

"Saskue Uchiha." Pain says in his deep intimidating tone, not like the one he would use with Konan "Hmph, so you're the people Karin sensed earlier, the Akatsuki? I thought you all got disbanded; I'll deal with you quickly." Saskue activates his mangekyou "Hmm, you're not like you're brother, he would never rush into battle like you, especially if the opponents are more powerful, I guess I'll be seeing if you can match up."

Saskue looks enraged about how Pain was comparing him to his brother, Saskue bites his lip "Don't speak like you know him, even if he was part of your organisation, he died for me! And I will continue his legacy even if means going through you two!" Pain focuses his rinnegan with Saskue's mangekyou, Saskue looks shocked it's the first time he has ever seen a real rinnegan and all his teammates have never seen such eyes "I see you have Itachi's eyes, but still you aren't a match." Saskue screams and begins to run at Pain, but he just puts his arm out and stops him dead, "What is this?" Saskue can barely talk, Pain releases him you will find out soon "Saskue!" Karin shouts and he brings himself to his feet "Hmph, summoning jutsu!" A puff of smoke and all the five paths of Pain join the deva path "Come find us!" Pain shouts to Saskue, they both jump into the forest nearby and Jugo follows them, so was Sugetsui but before he can Konan appears before him "I don't think so." He falls on his feet "Karin stays here but keep an eye on Saskue!" She nods and the fight begins.
