Chapter 7: Confrontation
Nagato stood still, his face pale and his body began to shake. Why is Yahiko here? Why is he with the rogue ninjas? These thoughts ran through Nagatos head. The two enemies reinforced with Yahiko and Aki and Shira ran toward Nagato and stood by his side."W...What's going on Nagato?"Aki asked, but Nagato said nothing, he was speechless. Shira and Aki looked at Yahiko and both gasped. "Y...Yahiko?" Shira asked her voice was breaking. Yahiko didn't say anything. The two rogue ninjas have noticed that Yahiko knew their enemies. "Right Yahiko, to prove that you are with us" one of the ninjas started. "You must bring me those little boys pretty purple eyes!" he pointed at Nagato. Yahiko looked at the rogue ninja then at Nagato. Nagato stood still. "No way Yahiko snap out of it" Aki shouted at Yahiko. Yahiko took out his kunai and the two rogue ninjas attacked Aki and Shira leaving Nagato and Yahiko alone. Nagato looked up at Yahiko with sorrow and anger in his eyes. Yahiko threw his kunai at Nagato, without hesitation, Nagato dodged the attack and moved his hands in certain hand signs." Katon: fire dragon flame bullet" Nagato released many fire bullets that hit Yahiko. He didn't expect that, he didn't know that Nagato have improved his skills.
Yahiko jumped to the side but his arm caught on fire. Nagatos heart slowly filled with hate He didn't understood why his best friend was attacking him. Aki and Shira were shocked they didn't know that Nagato was so powerful. Nagato didn't stop, jutsu after jutsu he attacked Yahiko. Tears poured from his eyes. Yahiko tried his best to dodge his attacks."Why...Why Yahiko!" shouted Nagato as he threw his punched at Yahiko. "N...Nagato calm down!" Yahiko tried to calm him down. Suddenly Yahiko punched Nagato in the stomach and caused Nagato to fall to the ground. Nagato, Aki and Shira were shocked Yahiko had never raised his hand on his comrades. Aki who once respected Yahiko felt disgusted. He defeated his enemy and rushed towards Nagato. "Stay back you traitor!"He shouted at Yahiko as he threw shuriken stars at Yahiko. Yahiko jumped back few meters. Aki helped Nagato up. Shiras enemy joined Yahiko and Shira joined Nagato and Aki. "Let's go Yahiko "said the rogue ninja. Yahiko took the last glance at Nagato who was breathing heavily and glaring at Yahiko. Yahiko looked away and disappeared with his ally.
Nagato used too much of his chakra, his body felt heavy and his eyes began to close. Luckily Aki was holding onto him. When Nagato fainted Aki lifted him up with both of his hands, one under his knees and one under his arms. Shira and Aki agreed to quickly return to the village.
After long journey home Nagato finally woke up, but he wasn't at his apartment, he was at Akis house. "Ah you have finally woken up!"Aki said cheerfully. He was wearing a white top with long sleeves and long black trousers, his black hair rested on his shoulders. Nagato slowly sat up; he was sleeping in Akis bed."What happened ...where am I?" Nagato asked. Aki smiled gently and passed a glass of water to Nagato."You're at my house, after the fight with Yahiko you passed out and only woke up now. Shira and I have already reported to the academy. We didn't want to leave you alone in the apartment so I bought you here." Aki explained. Nagato took a sip of water. He wanted to thank his friend but no word came out of his mouth, he was devastated. His best friend attacked him, tried to kill him. Suddenly tears began to fall from Nagatos face. Aki quickly took the glass from him and hugged his friend. "Don't cry Nagato. There's no need for you to." Aki said as he rubbed the back of Nagatos head. "We will find him." He added. Nagato sobbed for a long while, the crying made him exhausted. Once again he passed out.
Weeks have passed by, Nagato became a good member of team and Aki and Nagato became good friends. Nagato also changed locks in his apartment and he locked Yahikos room. He tried not to talk about Yahiko, and avoided any questions that involved Yahiko. Nagato became a good shinobi of the village hidden in rain. His skills have improved a lot and he was nominated to become the teacher in the academy.
Nagato was on his way to meet up with his teammates. They got a new s-rank mission. Nagato said that he gave up on finding Yahiko but in secret he was looking for his friend. Shira and Aki knew that Nagato was looking for Yahiko but they knew he was hiding it so they pretended that they knew nothing. Nagato reached the academy; he was greeted by his fellow friends."Hey Nagato "Aki said cheerfully and gave Nagato a hug. Every since the fight with Yahiko Aki grew very attached to Nagato. Nagato slightly blushed when Aki gave him a hug; he looked at Shira who was smirking at the two of them. "H...Hey Shira." Nagato said shyly. Shira nodded happily in response. "Right lets go, we got a mission saying that the terrorist from the village hidden in sand are supposed to break into our village soon."Shira said as she showed Nagato the scroll with details. Nagato carefully read the information and nodded his head. "Let's go team 5!"Aki shouted happily as the three friends headed to their destination.
The evening came, the dark rain cloud hung in the sky. Team five was perfectly adapted to the harsh weather conditions that were present in their village. Nagato, Aki and Shira took their positions and were observing the hidden entrance from a distance. Aki and Nagato were sitting on a tree and Shira was sitting on a tree across from them. Aki watched Nagato as he focused his chakra to sense the enemies. Taking the chance that he was alone with Nagato, he approached his friend. "Hey Nagato." He said openly. Nagato turned around to look at Aki. "Y...yes?" he answered. Akis heart skipped a beat. He suddenly got all nervous and shy."Ah well...um I was wondering if..." He was stopped by a signal from Shira. "We'll talk later Aki okay?" Nagato said as he got into the fighting position. Aki sighed in disappointment. "Right" he said as he looked to his left. The cloaked ninjas were approaching the village. As they got closer to the entrance, Shira gave a sign and the three ninjas attacked.
After a short fight team five was already at the headquarters receiving their payment for the mission. It turned out the sand ninjas were plotting a conspiracy against the academy. They wanted to start a civil war in the village hidden in rain and wanted to take it over for its strategically good position. They were also at war with the village hidden in leaf.
The tree friends were walking down the road. The rain wasn't as heavy as usual so their spirits were high. The payment was good and they were praised for saving the village from being destroyed. "We really did kick their butts didn't we Nagato?" Aki said as he wrapped his arm around Nagatos shoulder. The purple haired boy giggled and nodded in agreement. Shira laughed with them. Even though Nagato was laughing and smiling he was feeling disappointed, he hoped he had found a lead on Yahikos whereabouts. Nagato shock his head, he didn't want to ruin the night, and he wanted to enjoy himself.
The free shinboi entered the small bar they sometimes visited. "Ah the legendary team 5" said the owner."We'll have the usual and some snack to go with it." Aki said as the three friends sat at their favourite table. After a short wait their food has arrived, the friends began to eat and enjoy their time. Nagato enjoyed the company that Shira and Aki gave him. He always thought that he won't be able make new friends; he thought that only Yahiko understood him, but here he was, with his new teammates. Comrades that understood him and were ready to die for him. Suddenly few tears dropped down on the table. "huh.." said Shira and Aki. Nagato was crying, but it wasn't because he was sad, it was because he was happy. He gained new friends, created new bonds. "Thank you friends." Nagato said smiling and crying at the same time. Shira and Aki laughed and hugged Nagato. "You silly you don't need to thank us."Shira said.
Nagato finally believed he had found his place on earth.
