Pein and Konan are OOC, but I don't really know much about the way they talk, so I had to do research. Please don't leave a mean review because I really did try with both characters.

Naruto's P.O.V.

After being released by the medical nin, I was escorted out by Kakashi sensei. "Hey Naruto" Kakashi said. "Yeah Sensei?" I replied. "Watch yourself if you get into any fights." He warned. "Don't worry! I'm sure I'll be fine!" I exclaimed. "Still..." He said. "You're worrying too much. I'm going to go find Sakura!" I yelled and ran into the woods.

I wasn't in the woods for 5 minutes until I started hearing noises. "You. Point me out to the whereabouts of Grey Fullbuster and Natsu Dragneel." Someone ordered. "Yeah? Well who wants to know?" I asked defensively, turning around. No one was there. "HEY WHERE ARE YOU!?" I yelled. I started hearing explosions coming from the village. Soon the whole village was up in smoke.

"Hinata! Sakura!" I yelled. They were still in the village! I ran in there and saw Hinata laying on the ground unconscious. Sakura was on her knees looking like she was about to cry. I had a feeling that one of the Akatsuki was there. I pulled out a few scrolls and put a little bit of blood on all of them. I summoned all the toads I could and went into Sage Mode. 'Where is he?' I thought.

The smoke cleared and I had a clear view of the Akatsuki member with orange hair. He looked like he was ready to fight. Without saying a word, he attacked me. "Flaming Arrow of Amazing Ability." He said calmly. A smaller explosion went off, but it took out half of the toads I summoned. 'Crap!' I thought. "You shall know pain." He said. "Sage Art: Lava Release Rasenshuriken!" I yelled. The ground shook, but it just made a smaller crater inside this one. I looked down to notice that he dogged my attack completely.

He continued to attack until I had no toads left and I was laying on the ground, but then I had an idea. I got up and noticed that my cuts were healing themselves. "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" I exclaimed. Hundreds of clones came falling from the sky, so I took the opportunity to charge Rasengan. The clones came running at him and they only had 3 seconds to do it. He used his technique to push them back, but I started putting them in a big group. We all charged at him and he tried to use the same technique from before to hold us off. The Akatsuki member took out most of them, but in the end 3 were still standing.

He fell on his knees and looked down at the ground. "My name is Nagato." Nagato said. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki." I replied. He smiled. "You know you used to be a target for the Akatsuki, right?" He asked. I nodded. "We decided that Grey Fullbuster and Natsu Dragneel were more interesting though and abandoned the need to use your jinchuriki powers. Looking back now, I wonder if I made the right choice, but I guess as usual, the world is full of pain." Nagato said. "Yeah, sure, but the struggle for peace is worth any personal cost." I replied. I could tell that he liked that answer. "It was great to fight you, Naruto Uzumaki." Nagato said. I nodded. "You too." I said walking up to him and preparing for a final attack whe- "Naruto! Come quick, Grey is dead!" Sakura yelled running out of the woods. Nagato looked at the ground. "Naruto..." He said. I was still recovering from shock. "Naruto listen to me..." Nagato said. I looked over at him with a sad expression. "Let me help this friend of yours." He ordered. "Wha- why?" I asked. Nagato got up and looked at Sakura. "Lead me to Grey." He said. Sakura didn't trust him, so I had to vouch for him. "Just listen to him Sakura." I said with a sad expression. "Alright. Come on Pain." She said.

Sakura lead Nagato and I to a giant ice sculpture. "What is this, Sakura?" I asked. "This is Grey." She replied. "There were two other people sitting there. Lady Tsunade and a girl with purple hair. She looked sad. "This is Ultear; she is from Grey's world." Sakura stated. "It's nice to meet you." She said. "What's going on here? Why is there an Aka-" Lady Tsunade asked sternly. I cut her off. "He's here to help, Grandma Tsunade. "Fine, but I'm keeping an eye on you." She said. "I have the power to change time and restore things to how they were originally." Ultear said. "To do this though, I'm going to need to use every last drop of magic power I have." She explained. "Well let's get started." I said.

Nagato stayed silent and placed his hands on the ice. "Outer Path - Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique." He said. "Arc of Time: Restore." Ultear casted. "AHHH!" They screamed in unison. There was a blast of white light that sent Grandma Tsunade and I flying. When the sky was clear again, Nagato was face down on the ground, Ultear was covered in cuts, Sakura was hiding behind a tree, and Grey was on his knees panting. I couldn't see Orochimaru, but I knew he was still dead.

"Grey, are you alright?" Lady Tsunade asked. "Yeah. Fine." He said. I looked over at Nagato and decided to take a look at his pulse. There was nothing. "He's dead." I said. "That's what that jutsu does. It kills the caster for the life of the person they used it on, but don't worry Naruto, I'm positive he died with peace of mind." Tsunade said. Sakura nodded. "He looked at ease." Sakura said. I took one last look at Nagato and started walking back with the others.

Lady Tsunade lead us to a camp right beside the giant hole that Nagato created. "Get Grey into the infirmary and Ultear have someone look at your cuts." Grandma Tsunade ordered. Ultear nodded and walked in with Grey's arm wrapped around her. I walked into to see if I could find anyone else. I saw Natsu laying on one of the cots. "Natsu, are you okay?" I asked, sitting beside him. "Where's Wendy?" He asked. "I don't know where she is." I said. "Go... find her..." He said. I nodded and ran out of the tent. "Naruto where are you going!?" Sakura yelled. "I'm going to find Wendy!" I exclaimed back. "Here take Sakura with you!" Grandma Tsunade yelled. "Alright come on, Sakura!" I yelled. She caught up with me and we ran down the trail.

After running for a little while, we stopped dead in our tracks. Neji and Lee were laying in the middle of the road. In the distance, we saw a silhouette with blue hair. "I cannot feel the power of his chakra anymore..." She said. "Who are you talking about?" I asked. "Nagato.." She replied. "Where is Nagato?" She asked. I looked at the ground. "He died." I said. She looked down at the ground with a straight face. "Who did it?" She asked. "He did it to himself." Sakura said, cutting in. "He brought one of our friends back from the dead." Sakura said. "Who is it?" The Akatsuki member asked. "Grey Fullbuster." I answered. "I swear that I'll protect him from the rest of the Akatsuki with my life." She swore. Sakura and I looked at her with shock. "I assume that he is at your base camp?" She asked. We nodded. "Then I'll make sure the other members don't even come within an inch." She said. "My name is Konan by the way." Konan said.

When she was gone, we both sighed. "I thought we were going to have to fight her." Sakura said. "Yeah me too." I said. "We can't entirely trust her, but Lady Tsunade will take care of it if things go wrong." Sakura said. I nodded. "But she didn't look like she was lying." I replied. We turned our attention to Lee and Neji. "I'll take care of them. You go find Wendy and the others." The pink haired ninja said. "Alright. I'm counting on you, Sakura!" I exclaimed and she nodded.

-Nobody's P.O.V-

"Now, now, you wouldn't want to hurt your friend would you?" Tobi asked. "Sorry, but if your a threat to my guild mates then your no friend of mine." Laxus said. "Don't be like that! Tobi was just joking!" Tobi exclaimed. Laxus and Gajeel cracked their knuckles.

"Hey Gajeel, you ready for a fight?"

"Ha. I always am."
