"Konan's our mom!" Miri shouted. "Like your telling me she's the one that gave birth to us, her."
"No, Konan is not our birth mother. While we were still separated, Orochimaru had to try to get the Tozoto activated to its second state. So he often times gave me to Pain and Konan to steal the Rinnegan. But often times when I was there, Konan raised me like how Jiraiya did with them. She was the closest thing I had to a real mother."
Miri clenched her fists and lowered her voice. "So while you got milk and cookies, me and Amari had our eyes gouged at yo fit yours."
"It's not like that, Miri. I still had the most thrown at me. I carried the burdens." Sean's voice rose. "I'm the that kept all of us alive! I had plenty of chances to escaped but I knew if I was out of line, you'd all be dead! The things I went through, the things i did, not even the reaper would take my soul."
"What did you do Sean? What did you do for us?"
"I killed our mother. I was given the opportunity to either kill you or kill her. I told Orochimaru that I believed you two were a success and no more were needed. In response he made me kill her. Our mother was never died from childbirth, she died because I made the decision to let you two live."
"Sean."
"Miri, open your fucking eyes and show me I was right!"
Miri's eyes opened fully to the second stage Tozoto. A hollow circle formed in the center of her. Her eyes were able to calculate the pipe's position and where to dodge it. Pain was surprised when his weapon smashed through the rock instead of Miri's head.
"Summoning jutsu." Miri stammered to say.
Sean appeared at Pain's right and instant swung for a hard punch. Pain swiveled back into his group. Sean moved his attention to Miri and began to pull the pipes out of her arms.
"Don't worry I got some back up." Sean pulled out the last pole and grabbed under Miri's arms.
"Who's cumming?"
"Naruto Uzumaki. And." Sean gripped down on Miri and jumped right as they were surrounded by smoke.
Miri's Tozoto allowed her to see right through it and saw a person in front of them. A long coat, giant scroll on his back. She wasn't sure but thought she knew who it was. "Naruto?"
The yellow hair ninja looked back. "The one and only." He said with a giant grin.
"How is this possible?"
"You had your sage mode still active long enough for me to use my Rinnegan to travel into the frog's dimension and get them over here."
Miri arched her head over. "I see we're on a frog. That's on an even bigger frog."
"Just a word of advise Naruto." Sean stepped up to Naruto. "They can suck up chakra, summon beasts, push you away, revive each other, suck your soul out, name it. But I'd take out the revival expert first. Just some advise."
"Just get her someplace safe. I want to speak with Miri once this is all over." Naruto demanded.
"Just don't take all the glory kid. Because they're recently revived, they all aren't fully combat ready."
"Don't worry about it. I'm on it."
"Good luck, Naruto." Sean leapt off the giant frogs and out of the crater.
Sean bounced out to the very edge and looked back. Already Naruto squared off against the first waves of Pain. Sean could feel himself get weaker every second. He estimated Miri could only hold the sage mode chakra for only a few minutes longer. He continued off into the rubble.
"Ino! Sakura!" He spotted the small hidden group. He jumped into their ranks. "Hurry I need your help." Sean laid Miri on the ground.
"Of course." Sakura hurried over Miri's body.
"No." Sean pressed on Sakura's chest. "I want Ino to do it."
"Wha-why me? Sakura's a much better healer than I." Ino waved her hands in front of her face in motion of disagreement.
"Yes I know of Sakura's talents but you Ino have some confrontation to hold with Miri. Trust can be made through this. I was there when you spoke ill of my sister. We're here to stay and I want us all to be friends. I want no bad blood between us. Trust me when I say the future holds much worse."
"Sean before you go." Sakura got up and walked over to Sean. "You say you want no bad blood. I need to know, do you blame anything on me?"
"Sakura." He grabbed hold of her hand. "You introduced me to this village like I had amnesia and just forgot my past here. I know your still in love with Sasuke and I can't change that. It's complicated for why I left but it wasn't because of you. I left because it was so I didn't have to hurt you."
"Thank you." Sakura wiggled out of his hand and embraced Sean. "But why is majority of your face gone?"
Sean got nervous and rubbed the back of his head. "You see, I'm in a permanent sage mode." He gave off a awkward laugh. "Just like how Naruto changes color around his eyes and grows frog eyes, and how Miri gain's the devil's cloak and angel's wings. I get the servant's face. You see, my ancestors is actually servants of the six paths. So because I only held powers in my eyes, there is no need for a mouth, nose, or ears. It was a way to keep us more restrictive but evolution and all."
"Just get a mask and help me." Miri groaned.
"Yeah, do that. You can release your sage mode." He faced Sakura. "I'll be back."
Miri let off a large sigh after she released her form. Sean disappeared along with her cloaks. Consciousness didn't last long either as her eyes soon rolled to the back of her head.
