Flexing my arm in of the mirror as I looked at how the first Hokage's cells healed my injuries and not only that but also my damage chakra coils , bringing my attention to the white lines on my body from my right arm traveling up to my right burnt out eye that resembled lightning currents. Picking up my shirt I got dress and ready for training, oh yeah guess what it seems Danzo had like a whole storage full of the first's cells , putting on a black patch over my right eye I went to train .
Standing in front of the training post I got in a boxer stand breathing in and out after the third intake I struck the post shattering shocking me at how much my power increased I stumbled back holding my hands up curling and uncurling them into fists . Spreading my feet a little crouching with my arms at my side and my fists raised to my waist side I started raising my power level gritting my teeth , blue aura started flaring at my feet as the wind started picking up around me raising it more the aura raised from my feet and began wrapped itself around me in a ball shape form , the wind picking up more speed as I began tightly wrapping the ball around me turning the colour into a royal blue and the ground started cracking under me creating fissures my feet sunk deeper after a moment of holding the ball I released it destroying the ground and the area around me , a giant dust cloud remained in the aftermath and when it settled it showed a destroyed training ground with jagged rocks and broken trees .
I fell back laughing out loud, stopping and raised my fist up to the sky and said "Natsume ...I will.. make your dream a reality.

"Nice night out huh " he said sitting on her window sill with his back turned to her as he looked up into the sky watching the constellation.
Sharply turning her head she saw a figure dressed in a robe sitting on her window sill " Yami..? " She asked
Taking of the hood of the robe he turned his head and looked over his shoulder with a smile and step into the room while she stood up annoyed with her hands on her waist and said " where have you been these 2 weeks , after I went to check on you, your bed was empty "
"Danzo had me retrieved by a subordinate of his but before we get into anything else I have a request milady "
"Oh it's milady now " she crossed her arms while raising her eyebrow
"...I apologize for my behaviour on that night lady Hokage...I was in a dark space at that time "
Lifting her hand up stopping him she said with a gentle smile " it's ok you don't have to apologize " stepping back into her seat she asked " now what's your request?"
"Natsume... Natsume was her name ...she was the only one with me under Danzo's training ...she was my anchor to keep me from coming completely emotionless ...but Danzo fearing that he won't have a emotionless weapon set us to fight to the death ...or he'll kill us both .. Natsume not wanting me to see me die fought me until she couldn't...she was strong to real strong, she was just starting to figure out your tremendous strength and at the last moment broke my entire arm ..but she collapsed right after using her all her energy and sacrificed herself for me to survive...
Flashback
After getting blown back by her punch I stood up holding my arm and saw she was on her knees panting smiling sadly, stumbling to her I looked up and saw she had her hand on her chest confused on what's she's doing I rushed to her when she started coughing blood ,catching her just as she was about to hit the ground .I held her in my embrace with tears streaming down my face ".. w-why.." "..b..cause...y..ou ...have to ..l-live for u..s ...pro... promise me..you won't become like ...him..." Sobbing I promised her cupping my cheek she said" ...I ..l..Iove...y..ou" and died in my arms , seeing her lifeless eyes staring back I broke down sobbing even more in her chest "NOOOO!!"...
Flashback end
...And that's why I want to ask you if I could learn under you ..not only to start living for myself but to also make Natsume's dream a reality of surpassing you .." Tsunade had her eyes close behind her folded hands , finally opening them she said smirking"...well then it seems like I have a new student on my hands ..."
XXXXX
It was the next day we find Yami and Tsunade standing in a secret training ground.
"So what do you want to learn " she asked
"Well I already have an understanding of the mystic palm and have my clones working on that , it's just your strength on which I can't figure , the only way I came this far it's cause of Natsume's notes " he replied
"Let me see that "
After handing the small notepad to her she let out an impressive sound " humph she really was figuring out my strength...I have to command her if i edited some of her notes here and there and teach her a few things she really would have surpassed me ...pretty quickly to "
After handing back the notes to him he felt proud of what his late friend accomplished.
"Okay.. so the way my strength work is you don't need perfect control of your chakra, but it is recommended to bring out the max potential of the technique, what you need to do is every time you when go for a punch you build up chakra and releas it point blank , do you understand "
"Yes ma'am!"
XXXXX
"Argh dammit you said this was gonna be easy " he said while holding his injured hand
"I didn't say that , I said you don't need perfect chakra control " She replied sipping from her saki cup looking at his hand healing itself.
"You know you never told me why Danzo took you or how you healing so fast"
"Oh... well Danzo had someone implanted the First Hokage's cells into me , I didn't say anything cause I thought it might not sit well with you " he explained flexing his hand
"The First's cells huh ...I thought only Orochimaru had knowledge when it comes to that "
"Believe it or not but Danzo figured it out "
"If it's him oh I believe it alright , now continue "
"Yes ma'am "

"Raargh !!" Yami said as he activated his lightning armour around him raising his power level he activated version 2 of it ,making the armour more smooth and refined but the lightning acting more erratically coming close to his body . His hair standing up and eye gaining a white glow he tried mixing Tsunade's strength with his speed as he went into a sequence of boxing and kickboxing ,just as he struck out with his right hand a feeling went through his arm , stepping out his stance he lifted the hand eye level curling and uncurling his fist focusing again on it he struck out with his raised his fist and felt it again.
"Ehehe well Sasuke ...it seems your technique had a silver lining after all"
XXXXX
"It's been a month since I started working on this new technique and I can feel it just needs one more push and then I'll have it mastered " laying down on his back resting Yami looked up into the early morning sky resting*caw* a hawk screeched out in the sky gaining his attention, and closed his eyes.

*BABOOM*
Jiraiya was shot out of the side of the building landing on the water safely
"UNH..!" he grunted in pain with blood dripping into the water and his sage mode activated
"Lad your arm ...!!" Shima the toad sage on his left shoulder proclaimed worried
"I know.." he responded
"What's going on ?!!" Fukasaku exclaimed frustrated on his right shoulder
"This one's for a different face than the other three ..! He was probably summoned earlier" Jiraiya answered
"...I see! Before they got caught trapped in the genjutsu...!" Fukasaku concluded
"Now..."
Raising his guard he saw 6 figures with Akatsuki cloats and orange hair and one bald jump out of the hole on the side of the building and landed on the tower.
"Six...?!"
" There are six of them ?!" Fukasaku exclaimed confused
"Hey , look close da three we just did in are there too !!" Shima shouted
"Perhaps one of them there newly summoned ones revived em with some sort of jutsu ...?!" He responded trying to figure out how they alive
"There can't be that many jutsu ,that kin revive three fellas that were absurdly dead?!!...
...Are they really human?!!" She replied
"Pain...what are you " Jiraiya questioned
"Pain...that name is an alias that denotes all six of us ." The Deva pain answered
"Why are there six rinnegan bearers..."
When a thought came through, Jiraiya
Continued" Y-you're...!"
"You, that face ...is that you, Yahiko...what is going on here ...? I thought you said Yahiko died ...plus those eyes "
"You see in me Yahiko's image?...you really are his former teacher ... But Yahiko has been dead for quite some time...all that remains is ..
...Pain" Deva responded
"Quit with the wordplay!..
..Why do you posses the rinnegan ?!" Jiraiya questioned
"What're ya talking about jiraiya boy " fukasaku asked
"Another former disciple is also among them ... except he didn't use to have those pupils..." He replied
"What in tarnation is going on ?..
...Yer saying there're two children of prophecy?" Shima asked confused
'come to think of it , upon closer inspection none of those six remind me of nagato ' jiraiya thought looking at the six pains
"So are you Yahiko ...or ...nagato ...?
And what are you?!"
"We are Pain ...and we are God " tendo responded with all six pains jumping of the tower
Xxxxx
"What despicable rain..." Said Tsunade looking out the window into the rain
"If you're worried about Lord Jiraiya ... he'll be all right " Shizune tried to reassure her master.
"he's not coming back "
"Huh?"
"That's what I bet him.
Cause I never win ..." She turned to Shizune giving her a forced smile
"Yes ma'am.." she replied giving a uncertain smile back
Turning back to the window Tsunade continued.
"What a poser ...when he gets back I won't let him keep his cool..."
Xxxxx
Laying face down on the rock floating in the water with 5 black rods sticking out of his body with five of the pain bodies surrounding him
"Jiraiya boy !" Fukasaku exclaimed in shock
'shoot my throats been destroyed' Jiraiya thought as blood poured out of his mouth as he layed panting heavily.
'Argh ...
He tried getting up
'Not enough ...
Fading...
Am I ...
..going to die?
Have I failed?
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Gggg..!!"
Forcing his way on his knees he tried getting up again
...it's generally agreed upon that a disciple inherent his shinobi way from his teacher right Naruto ?...
"Ok !!!" the toad jumped of Jiraiya's and stood in front of him with his cloak of.
Jiraiya reached out with his pointing finger with a blue chakra flame on his finger and wrote a code on Fukasaku's back
"All right message received!!"
...I'm not gonna give up ...that was the true choice I was supposed to make!
Naruto , you are the child of prophecy I'm sure of it now ...and the rest I leave in your hands ..
Three pains jumped up to finish jiraiya off , seeing the code the Asura pain shot his hand rocket at the toad in front of Jiraiya destroying the platform they were on .
Landing on the water the Deva pain felt the water and discovered that Fukasaku got away just in time .
"The toad got away...but Jiraiya" Deva pain said and turn to a figure standing on a building holding Jiraiya broken body ...
Standing on top of the building was figure dressed in a open short sleeved black hooded coat reaching just above his shins , a black T-shirt and black pants with bandages wrapped around his ankles and black shinobi sandals , black arm guards and lastly an eye patch...
...was Yami .
Putting jiraiya down and creating 4 clones effortlessly to guard him ,he began healing the sages throat with his right hand where most of the First's cells are accelerating the process ,next he began healing the ripped off arm .
"What ..?" Jiraiya said shocked that he was still alive looking at the figure before him , he asked who was he and Yami replied
"Name's Yami , lady Hokage send me as your back up "
"...sigh.. I see...thanks "
"Don't worry about it now let's get rid of those rods "
Asura pain seeing that Yami was about to take the rods out shot out rockets from his arms at them , the clones heaving 5 handseals and called out "LIGHTNING SHIELD" and created a lightning barrier around them
"We have to get out of here I created the clones powerful enough to allow us to escape "
" And how we going to do that...I'm out of chakra.. "
"Eh there's a reason why Tsunade picked me to be your back up " Yami smirked and said
"NOW!" When the dust settled the clones keeping the barrier alive absorbed the shield and created from it, their lightning armour version 2 the chakra acting as a barrier around their bodies as the lightning acted erratically (think of T.o.p when Goku created a KI barrier around him to prevent him from getting hit with poison by the wolfs ) their eye getting a white glow and hair standing up. Yami activating his own armour picked up jiraiya placed him on his shoulder and disappeared away
Asura path seeing they trying to escape summoned a large spinning blade to block of their path but was prevent by Clone 1 when he called out his attack "LIGHTNING SPEAR" A long spear travelled from his hand hitting the blade and sending it flying of.Clone 2 disappearing and clotheslined the Asura path through two buildings taking him away from the battle ,Clone 3 disappeared and kicked the Petra pain through a building and went after him, Cloned 4 landed in front of the last 3 paths challenging them head on .
Xxxxx
Clone 2 back flipping away Dodge a blade coming from Asura's robe taking the robe off , as 4 other arms emerge from his body and 2 faces from the side of his face . Two arms opened up shooting rockets at the clone , running to them he jumped and side twirled over 5 , side stepping 3 jumping out of the rain of rockets into the sky and shooting to the path with a kick extended ,Asura raised 2 arms to block over his head , blocking the kick the water exploded around them ,the clone jumped away from the block just in time as 2 razor blades emerges out them spinning , shooting them at the clone but got deflected by his new Sabre that he summoned from his arm guard , the clone speed to the path sliding under the blade and through his legs jumping up to kick the side of paths head but got blocked by one arm and was grabbed by one hand , twirling with clone he threw it to a building , righting himself in the air he landed against the building his impact cracking it . Jumping down he created 4 handseals and said "LIGHTNING STYLE : MURDEROUS CROWS" sending out a murder of crows out of his armour to the path , to fast and to much he couldn't dodge but block, and was hit fifty times by the crows paralyzing his body , appearing in front of the path with his aura formed in a blade at his right hand he stabbed through the paths chest, through the heart ending the battle with a "LIGHTNING BLADE" taking his hand out of his chest he looked as the body that fell into the water and popped.
XXXXX
Clone 3 after landing watched his foe stood up from his rough landing in the room not giving him time to get to his senses he speed to the Petra path swinging his right fist , but got a blocked by a shield feeling his armour being sucked away he jumped away looking at his uncovered right hand up to his elbow he forcefully covered it again
"So you absorb techniques huh "
Smirking the path shot to him trying to grab him but the clone kept dodging him, jumping away the clone tried to think about away to defeat him, after a moment he released his armour and summoned his sabre ,shooting at the path cutting down vertically he got blocked by a black rod , spinning he back kicked the path into a wall.
"Well super strength it is "
Jumping out of the wall the path ran to the clone and shot 3 rods at him deflecting the rods he blocked a kick to his head sliding backwards he sealed his sword and shot to the path punching with a right jab but was blocked by a cross guard cracking the ground under them , grabbing the fist and arm the path judo slam the clone but the clone saved himself in the nick of time, taking hold of the cloak the clone threw him across the room against the wall , acting quickly he punched him through it sending him in to another building following him into the other building landing in the building through the hole he saw the path standing up and cracking his neck and summoned a black rod out of his right sleeve , discarding his black cloak the clone got into a Muay Thai stance , rushing at him the path tried to stab the clone , dodging to the left he grabbed the arm and left elbow the elbow joint breaking it , Petra not flinching at all tried to stab him with a rod in his left hand but he jumped away simultaneously jumping up and spinning sideways into an axe kick bringing the foot down the paths left shoulder joint dislocating it ,going into the momentum he did a side kick the paths right knee joint breaking it twirling once more he released his blade and cut of the paths head , with everything happening in three seconds affirming the decapitated body the clone popped away.
XXXXX
"Who are you " asked the Deva path
" Just your friendly neighborhood Konoha shinobi Yami at your service" the clone responded
"You're interfering with-
"Save your speech buddy or I might just pop away from boredom " he interrupted raising his hand
"Very well " he replied
The clone disappeared from where he was and appeared on top of them with a superman punch but was caught in mid-air he was shocked that he couldn't move , and was sent flying into a building popping away.
The last clone saw that he was easily taken out , receiving the information from the recently destroyed clone began thinking of a way to hold them of them began heaving handseals stopping at a rat seal he called out "FIRE STYLE: GRAND FIREBALL TECHNIQUE" and shot a giant fireball at them making them jump away to safety heaving again he called out "LIGHTNING STYLE :MURDEROUS CROWS " releasing a sworn of lightning crows from his armour at them , but got blocked by the Deva path from hitting them. The Human path raised his hands shot ten black rods from his sleeve , disappearing from the roof top and appearing on another roof top he began panting from using to many high level techniques after one another using the last of his chakra he lengthen the aura at his right arm into a blade , disappearing he begn circling the three going faster and faster the three paths standing back to back , was ready to defend themselves when he suddenly just disappeared from their sight.
*crack*
Breaking through the ground from under the Naraka path aiming the blade his chest ,but got pushed aside by the Human path saving him making the Human path receive the blade through the chest , the clone seeing he got one of them dispelled.
"He's strong ...he divided us and took out three of my paths strategically...with only his clones ...seems we have to watch out for him ...and now Jiraiya seeing that he survived...now ...why don't you show yourself " Deva said out loud
"Sure took you a while " white Zetsu said emerging from the wall
"His opponent was that Jiraiya ...and now new a player stepped into the game " the black side said
"What an interruption ... Madara had me ordered to hunt the nine tails "
XXXXX
Stopping far enough away from the Hidden rain village he propped Jiraiya up against a tree to rest a bit.
"Man you look a mess "
"Ehehe no kidding ...gotta thank you again kid you really saved my hide back there "
"Like I said it's nothing, anyway we stopping here for the night I'm almost out of chakra myself, we'll discuss whatever that was in the morning I'm to tired for anything else " Yami unsealing a scroll and unsealed a futon for Jiraiya to rest his body in he rolled the scroll up and basically just collapsed next to him asleep.
'...who are you Yami..' Jiraiya thought before falling asleep in the futon
(A/N)
(Edit;
sorry guys I saw that animal path was already destroyed and captured and I had to edit the battle a little)
Why I didn't do the whole Jiraiya fight was because you know how the fight went and almost a thousand stories are dedicated to showing it, and reading the same thing over and over make it lose that essences that made it special to us.
All the normal paths that's not Asura or Deva had like no fighting screen time and I wanted to give them some , now why they got taken out so easily if you thought that.
Animal path without out her summons had nothing to offer even in canon
Petra path absorbing techniques a problem for those that relies on their techniques, but what happens when only super strength and super speed is put against him.
Asura path a mechanical being, a problem for the average shinobi cuz if they not careful their head could get cut of easily but a shinobi on Kakashi's level he could get strategically defeated.
Deva path is the only one with the best offensive and defensive techniques on the paths I feel like the out come of the battle is what would happen regardless.
Plus the reason why the six pains was a formidable opponent was because they fought together having one vision but if they get divided just like in canon ,and with that Nagato's vision was divided to they get defeated pretty quickly
Yami's fighting style is only deprived of Lightning techniques and some basic abilities with sealing seeing as he was Danzo's personal weapon not really an apprentice tbh and when he was powerful enough Danzo trained him with all his Sharingans on , making him think on the fly and realising that the only way to defeat a Sharingan user was strategy, speed and power , knowing this Yami began learning with his Lightning affiliate , he was an assassin that took out high level Jonin sometimes surviving only cuz he was faster than the other guy he's not even OP all he's doing is using his head
