Chapter 42: Pain
At an Akatsuki hideout the sealing of the eight tails is taking place but, it ends prematurely when the man turns out to an octopus tentacle shocking the members who are doing the sealing.
"It seems Sasuke failed to acquire the hachibi after all." Kisame says amused at what happened
"Indeed I will have a word with Sasuke while you hunt down the hachibi Kisame." Tobi says
"I guess I should be going then." Kisame says but, just as he is about to fade Zetsu appears
"I have news." Zetsu says
"How did it go?" Pain says
"Menma appeared to have been holding out on us he held the other half of kyuubi and used it in battle against the kyuubi jinchuriki." Zetsu says
"Heh a jinchuriki hunting other jinchuriki, Menma sure has a sense of humor." Kisame says
"How did the fight go?" Pain asks
"It appears that the nanabi is lost to us and was reacquired by konoha." Zetsu says
"I should have forced him to hand over the nanabi when he had it in his grasp." Pain says irritated
"Indeed we were careless in trusting a newcomer as Menma so much." Tobi says
"It appears to no longer matter Menma is dead he was defeated and killed but, before he died I believe he transferred the other half of kyuubi to the kyuubi jinchuriki." Zetsu says
"Great a kyuubi at full power is something we need to see." Kisame says sarcastically
"It doesn't matter if the kyuubi is complete as long as the jinchuriki can't control it's useless." Pain says
"Don't be so sure both halfs of the kyuubi were summoned and did battle perhaps the host has come to an agreement with it." Zetsu says
"I wouldn't count on it. It probably was picking which host it preferred rather than coming to an understanding." Tobi says
"It doesn't matter the kyuubi doesn't stand a chance against a god." Pain says with conviction
"Be wary even gods can fall to monsters given the right circumstances." Tobi say warningly
"Well as fun as this get together has been I'm heading out." Kisame says ending his projection
"It appears you will be heading to konoha soon." Tobi says
"Yes but, first I have to deal with an interloper that has been snooping around." Pain says
"I wouldn't exactly call a sannin a mere interloper especially one that was your sensei." Tobi says reproachfully
"It doesn't matter what I call him he will know a god's wrath." Pain says ending the communication with Tobi and Zetsu.
"You're planning to see the Uchiha correct." Zetsu says
"Yes time is short and I'm in need of his assistance if Pain fails." Tobi says
"Do you want us to follow you." Zetsu says
"No monitor Pain and his movements to make sure he follows through with the plan." Tobi says
"Of course." Zetsu says ending the projection
"Naruko Namikaze what a thorn in my side." Tobi says to himself as he cuts the projection and uses Kamui to head to Sasuke.
Naruko takes her time to return to the village and when she arrives she reports directly to the hokage's office.
"Naruko! You're alive! Thank goodness." the hokage says getting out of her chair and hugging the blonde jinchuriki
"Yes I'm alive thank you for the concern." Naruko says sadly
"What's the matter Naruko?" the hokage says concerned
"I-I killed him, I killed Menma, my own brother!" Naruko says as she starts to sob
"Shhh there It's going to be alright it's over and you're home it's all that matters." the hokage says tenderly
"But, he tried to kill me. I never thought he was capable of such a thing and in the end he died in my arms!" Naruko says in grief
"I know it's not easy, what you're going through is painful but, remember what you still have left." the hokage says comfortingly
"It's just that all he could think about was the clan and how the village would betray it." Naruko says sniffling
"Why would he think such a thing?" the hokage asks
"Because, it's what happened to the uchiha clan that was wiped out by Itachi on the elders orders." Naruko says in a whisper
"They what! I didn't know about this, how do you know?" the hokage says
"I suspected Danzo and Itachi confirmed it for me before he died when he met me before facing Sasuke." Naruko says sadly
"Danzo I should have known!" the hokage growled out angry
"I didn't want to burden you with this but it became too much as it convinced Menma to strike the village first for the sake of the clan in memory Naruto." Naruko says ashamed
"It's alright, I understand why you kept it to yourself you did it for Itachi's sake and Sasuke's right?" the hokage says soothingly as Naruko nods
"In the end he told me it came down to deciding who to side with the village or the clan and I chose to put the village first both for the village and the clan's sake." Naruko says as she sheds tears of guilt
"Listen Naruko, you have nothing to be ashamed of many clansmen struggle with this choice but, in the end neither choice is wrong because it's the same as choosing among family you just can't understand?" the hokage says firmly
"Yes I understand and that's what I tried to say to Menma as he died." Naruko says somberly
"You have become a brave woman, Naruko don't lose yourself to impossible choices because, in the end there's no right answers." the hokage says wisely
"Thank you Baa-chan I needed that." Naruko says getting out of the hug with the hokage.
"Good now go home people are returning home to assess the damage from Menma's attack and I imagine you need to see your kids." the hokage says with a smile
"Thanks I will bye Baa-chan" Naruko says as she makes her way out of the hokage tower and heads to the clan compound. When she arrives she is greeted by the mothers. And spots Natsu carrying a bundle in her arms.
"Hello Naruko" Natsu says
"Hello Natsu, who is that you're carrying?" Naruko asks
"Why this is Menma's newest child her name is Momo Uzumaki." Natsu says as she walks toward Naruko and hands the baby to her. The baby looks Naruko in the eyes and yawns before giggling. Naruko places her finger in front of the baby and the baby starts to suck it as Naruko begins to shed tears of happiness for the uzumaki clan having a new member. She rocks the baby to sleep and gives her back to Natsu. Naruko heads outside and summons Fukasaku.
"Oh good Naruko I see that you're alright what a relief." Fukasaku says relieved
"Yeah I'm ok so, did you successfully summon back Fu?" Naruko says
"Yes she is at the hospital being tended to for her untreated injuries." Fukasaku says
"That's good. Could we perhaps resume training at mt. myoboku?" Naruko asks
"Yeah sure but, considering what happened I figured you would want to spend time with your family." Fukasaku says confused
"Yeah I would like to but, I need to get stronger. I wasn't able to win without Kyuubi's help." Naruko says firmly
"I understand you would've needed it to overcome an opponent stronger than Hanzo the salamander was." Fukasaku says
"I need to get stronger, so I don't rely on the kyuubi to protect the village. Besides I promised Menma I would protect the clan and to do that I need to train." Naruko says with conviction
"I see very well we'll resume your training when we return." Fukasaku says as he reverse summons Naruko to mt. myoboku. When she arrives she begins training by summoning 200 clones while the original begins resuming training in sage mode. A while later Shima and Fukasaku are summoned away to do battle. They return later with somber expressions as Shima breaks down crying and Naruko takes notice.
"What's wrong?" Naruko says with concern and nervousness but, can't get an answer out of Shima who is grief stricken.
"It's Jiraiya...He's dead." Fukasaku says soberly with tears in his eyes
"No...you're lying!" Naruko shouts disbelief
"It's true he fell in battle against Pain." Shima says weeping
"Pain as in the leader of Ame!" Naruko says in shock
"Yes and the apparent leader of Akatsuki it turns out." Fukasaku says
"It's my fault when I heard Pain had the rinnegan and defeated Hanzo I should have expected him to be a threat that Jiraiya couldn't handle." Naruko says looking down guiltily
"Don't blame yourself, not even we expected Jiraiya to face such an opponent that he couldn't overcome." Fukasaku says consolingly
"Yes dear you shouldn't think like that even Jiraiya was unprepared for what he faced so, you shouldn't blame yourself." Shima says sadly
"Still I should have gone with him if he wasn't alone things might have turned out differently at the very least I could've hiraishined us out of there." Naruko says with tears in her eyes
"At that point in time you weren't strong enough to help him as he had to use sage mode to stand a chance against his opponents you would have only been a distraction at best at worst a hindrance as for hiraishining Jiraiya didn't want to retreat, he wanted to gain information on his opponent at the risk to his life so, he would have refused to leave." Fukasaku says analytically
"Still he shouldn't have had to face Akatsuki's leader by himself." Naruko says as she cries
"He had us Naruko and we weren't enough help to him to be able to defeat his opponent, so if we couldn't. Who had trained him for years then, there was no one better to help him." Shima says consolingly
"I understand but, still I feel I should have done something." Naruko says balling her fists.
"There's something you can do here now which is get stronger by training. I have to leave for Konoha to tell what I know but, when I get back we're going to do some serious training together." Fukasaku says as he teleports to konoha to give the news.
"Shima, will you tell me how the fight went and everything you can about Pain so, I can prepare to face him." Naruko asks
"Sure thing Naruko I will gladly tell you what we know." Shima says
"Good because, when I'm ready I'm gonna kick Pains ass." Naruko says with conviction wiping the tears away. Several days later Fukasaku returned having given all the pertinent information to konoha. Fukasaku shows the marks on his back to Naruko recognizing the spelling from Jiraiya's handwriting realizes it's a reference to one of his books and translates the code from Icha Icha Tactics with the code translated it reveals the phrase "The real one isn't among them." with the knowledge she acquired from the two elder toads she deduces the none of pains are his real body just corpse puppets. Fukasaku returns to konoha to relay the information. When he gets back Naruko takes a break and asks Fukasaku something that was bothering her.
"Fukasaku before Jiraiya left for ame he gave you the key to my seal why?" Naruko asks
"Jiraiya was convinced that someday you would need it but, I suspect he didn't think you would have needed it so soon." Fukasaksu says
"But, why then and not later." Naruko asks curious
"We received a prophecy before he left about a masked man and a black kyuubi fighting another kyuubi so, he felt it was time to trust you with the key because, he knew the only alternative to opening the seal was to break it and if the kyuubi were to fight he knew you would need a way to release it." Fukasaku says
"Who made the prophecy?" Naruko asks
"It was the great toad sage." Fukasaku says with reverence
"He must be amazing to see the future like that." Naruko says amazed
"He's really old and sleeps a lot, so he gets visions in his dreams." Fukasaku says
"I see" Naruko says
"Anyways Naruko trusted me to give you the key to the seal, so you would be prepared and it has come to pass when you needed it." Fukasaku says
"So, about Pain do you think I can defeat him as I am now?" Naruko asks
"I truly don't know; we know of the abilities of only three and have suspicions about a fourth based on the fact he somehow revived the three Jiraiya defeated." Fukasaku says
"Yes one that can revive the others makes sense and probably the reason it wasn't among the three he fought it probably acts only as a support." Naruko says
"Yes so, at best we know 4 of their abilities of the bodies that still leaves two we know nothing about." Fukasaku says
"We can expect the remaining two to be reserved since he didn't use all of the bodies off the bat." Naruko says analytically
"Either they weren't useful in battle and were also support types or he keeps them back due to a special attachment to them." Fukasaku says
"Was one of the two of them the one Jiraiya described as a student of his?" Naruko asks curious
"Yes why?" Fukasaku replies
"Because, If the one controlling these things is Nagato Jiraiya's old student that he mentioned having a rinnegan then that one is of his former teammate Yahiko that Jiraiya also, mentioned meaning he probably has special sentimental value to him which, means he holds it back for fear of damaging it not because of its abilities that I suspect are quite destructive for the same reason of it being special to him." Naruko says deducing much
"That's quite the leap of logic based on some off hand comments from Jiraiya and a lot of assuming on your part." Fukasaku says impressed
"True but, it makes the most sense especially with how he arranged the bodies to fight Jiraiya first and kept the remaining ones hidden." Naruko says
"That still leaves it up in the air about what it can do though." Fukasaku says
"True but, it means he'll save confrontation with it for next to last in one on one fights as for the remaining one that you noticed I'm in the dark about but, highly suspect it's a support type." Naruko says
"So, we have 4 for offense and two for support that helps us plan and prepare." Fukasaku says
"Speaking of preparing, how was the village taking the news of Jiraiya's death." Naruko asks
"They're shocked and are most likely preparing for an assault considering that Akatsuki only has Tobi and Kisame with them. It's about time for its leader and his partner to make a move." Fukasaku says
"And with the only remaining jinchuriki being in Konoha besides the Hachibi. It means they're going to strike at Konoha especially since, It's been weakened by Menma's attack." Naruko says in realization
"That's true, so we best prepare for an attack on the village, we best have a toad there ready to summon us." Fukasaku says in understanding
"Good because I don't know how long they can last with their forces so strained." Naruko says
"I'll send a toad to Tsunade to stay and report what we've deduced about Pain." Fukasaku says heading to a Toad that he wants to go to Konoha. Meanwhile, Naruko gets back to training with 200 clones.
A week later at the outskirts of Konoha an outpost is annihilated by Pain and his angel Konan.
"The village security is tight." Konan says
"Probably due to the announcement that Jiraiya is dead" Pain says
"So, how do you plan to infiltrate the village?" Konan asks
"Simple we'll launch the animal path into the center of the village and summon the remaining paths and you to the center and spread out." Pain says
"Very well I'll wait for you to act then." Konan says as the animal path is lifted by the asura path and is launched into the air flying toward the center of the village when it lands it performs the summoning jutsu and summoned the other paths and Konan they scatter throughout the village and begin to attack the village as the animal path summons various animals to attack the village. As they make their way through the village annihilate anyone that gets in their way. At the hokage tower that is still in ruins the hokage receives word of the attack.
"Who is attacking us?!" the hokage asks
"It appears this time it's someone with the rinnegan meaning it's most likely Pain." Shikaku says
"Then, have evacuation orders been issued?" the hokage asks
"Yes we've begun the evacuation but, with so many wounded many will take time to be moved." Shikaku says with a grimace
"It appears it's time to summon Naruko back to the village I'll inform the toad." the hokage says as she makes her way to the room where the toad is to find it dead from a slash wound.
"Damn it who did this?!" The hokage shouts as she looks at the dead toad.
"I don't know Hokage-sama." Shikaku says concerned that their connection to Naruko is cut off.
"I'll head out myself then, and summon katsuyu to help with healing the injured." the hokage says heading toward the roof.
"I'll be heading back to HQ to coordinate operations." Shikaku says as he leaves to head to his post.
Meanwhile, Natsu is evacuating the children of the Uzumaki clan along with her baby and a 6 month pregnant Guren to the shelters as a huge centipede attacks the clan compound leveling it. It takes notice of the fleeing children and attacks but, it's ensnared in chains by Kushina as Mikoto launches an exploding kunai at it's head destroying it.
"These things will be annoyance if we let them continue to roam around," Mikoto says
"You got that right it appears they will attack even nonshinobi so, we best escort the kids and guren to the shelters." Hitomi says
"You all seem to be residents of this compound do you happen to know where the kyuubi jinchuriki is?" the animal path says
"We have no intent of telling you!" Kushina shouts
"So, you do know, maybe some suffering will get you to talk." the animal path says as it summons a dog that lunges at them. But, Hitomi hits it away with a vacuum air palm sending it flying back.
"Some people should learn not to let their dogs off their leashes." Hitomi says calmly but, she is forced to jump away as the dog splits in two and one attacks her. While, the other goes after Kushina who uses wind release: wind cutter to slice the dog in half but the beast simply regenerates into two dogs. With one going after her and another going after Mikoto who uses her sharingan on it putting it in a genjutsu.
"A sharingan user huh I thought that Sasuke was the last one." the animal path says as it summons a three legged bird that dives at Mikoto with its beak. Mikoto dodges and fires a fireball jutsu the birds way as it takes off to avoid the fireball. Kushina meanwhile, restrains the dog with her chakra chains. Hitomi begins to hit tenketsu on the dog she's facing stunning it. They look to see that the animal path performs a summoning a giant rhino that charges the three women forcing them to scatter as it continues to run through the neighborhood. The animal path then summons a giant snake tailed chameleon that goes invisible and disappears. But, are drawn to screams down the road deciding to investigate the three women head down the road to see something that shocks and enrages them the children they were evacuating had been attacked by the chameleon with its snake tail killing Natsu and her baby. Guren was imprinted in the wall with blood dripping from between her legs. As the children were scattered around and in various locations looking like rag dolls.
"NOOOO!" the three women scream as one as they charge the creature intent on killing it for harming their children. As the animal path watches dispassionately as it moves on into the village in search of it's target.
"It looks as though the village is in trouble again" Pakura says as she creates a scorch release: crimson orb and tosses it at the large crustacean that is firing water jutsu at everything that moves. The creature shrieks at being hit before it is wrapped up and sealed by Maki.
"These things are a nuisance if we don't stop the onslaught soon the village will be too weak to defend itself." Maki says as she turns her head to see that the clan districts were under attack by dogs that seem to endlessly multiply. She dodges an incoming attack from a giant centipede but, Pakura hits it with scorch release: crimson orb and its movements are sealed by Maki using her wrappings.
"You're doing well just as expected from my student." Pakura says with pride, but suddenly is forced to dodge as a missile heads toward her and she jumps away. She turns her head to see the asura path standing on top of a building and jumps down.
"You two are quite the team do you perhaps know where the kyuubi jinchuriki is?" the asura path asks
"We aren't telling you anything!" Maki shouts as she turns to face the asura path with a kunai.
"A pity" the asura path says as it launches its arms at the two who dodge but, have to avoid an oncoming of multiple missiles from its arms. They weave, duck and dodge as Pakura gets in close and attempts to hit him with her scorch release: crimson orb but, he lifts the arm missing it's hand and fires a beam straight through her stomach causing her to drop the orb and falls to the ground.
"Pakura! No!" Maki shouts as she gets behind the Asura path and attempts to stab it in the back but, is impaled on the tail of the asura path he flings her body away and jumps away as Maki barely alive crawls to pakura and dies.
"Things are getting worse around here." Tsume says as she notices the summons tearing up the city. As she follows her daughter to the analysis teams office to get a report.
"I know but, the analysis team may have answers to this crisis." Hana says as she makes her way there. When she arrives she heads in and sees the body that was brought back thanks to Jiraiya but doesn't see anyone. She turns to ask her mother only to see her mother being stabbed through the back by the human path.
"Mother!" Hana shouts as Tsume falls to the ground dead as Hana uses the rotating fang jutsu at the human path only to get stabbed as she spins causing her to crash into the hall. She attempts to pull the receiver from her body but is paralyzed by the chakra being transmitted through it. The human path slices her neck with a sharpened chakra receiver. Before he turns to the former animal path body and sets it a flame with a fire jutsu. The human path turns and leaves the building and makes his way to the T and I department.
"We should head to the compound they may need help defending it." Kagero says as she and Tsubaki make their way back to the clan districts to run into the Naraka path who is interrogating some people with the king of hell with his technique.
"That's the enemy what should we do?" Tsubaki says as they are spotted by the Naraka path.
"Do you know where the kyuubi jinchuriki is?" the Naraka path says as he steps toward them.
"We wouldn't tell you even if we knew." Kagero says
"We will see about that." The Naraka path says and runs toward the two as they get into defensive positions. Kagero uses an earth release: antlion technique causing everything around them to sink but, the Naraka path jumps in time but is hit by an earth release: mud bullet courtesy of Tsubaki. The Naraka had used substitution with a piece of rubble and appears behind them and grabs them around the throat.
"Let me ask again where is the kyuubi Jinchuriki?" the naraka path says as the king of hell appears
"We don't know." both say at the same time causing their tongues to be grabbed by the king of hell and have their souls taken. The Naraka drops their dead bodies and moves onto the next area.
"We need to see if the children are ok." Sasame says as she, Karin, and Yakumo move toward the hospital.
"Only after we secure the hospital it's already over flowing with the injured." Karin says as they come to a halt spotting the preta path.
"Shit he's wearing a cloak with a red cloud he must be Pain." Yakumo says as they come to a stop.
"We'll have to deal with him since he's heading in the direction of the hospital." Sasame says as she goes through hand signs for wind release: wind cutter and launches it at the preta path. The preta path absorbs it and charges the girls as Karin launches her Adamantine attacking chains at him but, as the chains wrap around him they slowly fade as their chakra is absorbed the preta path pulls on the remains of the chains drawing Karin to him and grabs her by the neck and starts to drain her chakra.
"Karin!" Yakumo shouts as she runs toward her just as Karin's limp body is tossed at her and the Naraka path launches a lightning jutsu: lightning dispatch at her piercing her and karin. Sasame tries attacking from the side with chakra knives but, the Naraka path snaps her wrists causing her to drop the blades and grabs her by the throat and drains her to death of chakra and drops her body before resuming to his destination.
"Ajisai this has to be Pain's work." Suiren says as Fuyo and Ajisai spot all the dead bodies littering the streets as they run toward the uzumaki compound.
"I agree we must be careful we're no match for him." Fuyo says she follows Ajisai with Suiren.
"That maybe but, we will have to defend the compound regardless of the threat." Ajisai says
"So, you three joined Konoha. We thought you died in the chunin exams." Konan says
"Lady angel you're here too!" Ajisai says stunned
"Yes it's me but, I should deal with you traitors before resuming my search for the kyuubi jinchuriki." Konan says coldly
"I'm sorry lady angel but, you're a threat to our new home, so we have to stop you." Suiren says
"Let's see how loyal you're to this place." Konan says as she forms paper clones and has them attack. Suiren uses water release: water slicer sending slicing waves of water at the clones while, Fuyo uses water release: water bullet against Konan. The paper clones made of exploding tags go off filling the area with smoke as Konan launches a paper spear through it and aims it at Suiren piercing her chest ending her life.
"Suiren!" Ajisai shouts as she uses the unsealing technique: shuriken launching a volley of shuriken at Konan but, breaks apart into paper and reforms behind Fuyo and slashes her with a paper blade killing her. Ajisai tries to use unsealing technique: Fire but, is smothered by paper and is suffocated as Konan stands over the dead teams bodies. She forms wings and heads deeper into konoha.
"We best make a move as genjutsu users we have the best chance of defeating Pain" Kotohime says as she, Tayuya, and Kin race through the destroyed village.
"I already know that, but we can't find the fucker." Tayuya curses as she scopes out the area they're in.
"Don't worry we'll find him we just need to follow the bodies." Kotohime says as she suddenly spots the Deva path and draws her chakra knives. As Kin notices him too and prepares her senbon.
"I've got company tell me do you know where the kyuubi jinchuriki is?" the Deva path asks
"Fuck you we aren't telling you jackshit!" Tayuya says as she summons her doki and begins playing her flute.
"Very well then, know god's judgment" the deva path says as Kin throws her senbon at him, but he dodges them as she pulls the strings to activate her bells. Kotohime tosses her chakra knives at him hoping to hit him as he is disoriented but, he simply uses shinra tensei to blow the surrounding area away along with the bells and chakra knives. Sending Kotohime and Kin flying into buildings as Tayuya covers herself from the dust that is kicked up by the attack. She sends her doki in with sound as the get close the deva sends another shinra tensei at them sending them flying about. Kotohime attacks by throwing her chakra knives connected to strings but they are blocked at the same time as the doki. Several seconds later the deva path uses bansho tenin to pull Kin and Kotohime toward him and stabs both of them in the chests and have them slide off the chakra receiver blades.
"Kotohime! Kin! Fuck you bastard!" Tayuya shouts as she plays a genjutsu to trap him but, as gets close to him he breaks a finger before she can get close to slice his neck with a kunai. She is then stabbed through the heart with a receiver. He drops her from the blade and heads to the clan districts.
"Kushina we need to move, we've dealt with the chameleon but, the village is still under attack." Hitomi says
"Our babies…. they killed our BABIES!" Kushina says as she wails over the dead bodies of their children.
"We need to go and find Pain and make him pay for what he's done." Mikoto says with fire in her eyes seeing her dead daughter laying there in the street.
"You don't have to look far. I'm here." Pain says through the Asura and preta path.
"You bastard I'll kill you!" Kushina shouts as her hair rages around her. She launches Adamantine sealing chains toward them but, the preta path gets in the way and absorbs the chakra of the chains and pulls them causing Kushina to fly toward the two as the Asura launches his arm at Kushina hitting her in the stomach sending her flying through a building. Hitomi charges and begins to attack the one armed Asura but, it reveals its body under its cloak has four other arms that open themselves up and launch missiles everywhere forcing Hitomi to head for cover. Mikoto launches a fire release; phoenix sage fire at the Asura path only for the preta path of block it. The asura fires a laser from its head causing a huge explosion that sends Mikoto flying. The preta path appears before Hitomi who uses eight trigrams 128 palms but, it fails to damage the preta path that absorbs the blows and locks his arms around her and starts draining her chakra. Mikoto seeing her in trouble jumps toward the preta path to knock the preta path away but is shot through the back by the blaster of the asura path causing her to fall to the ground. Kushina sees this and unleashes her Adamantine sealing chains against the Asura path that shoots at her causing her to duck and chains to miss their mark the asura path jumps toward her and is ensnared in the chains up close. Kushina rears back with a chakra infused punch but, to her surprise, is stabbed through the stomach by the asura path's unraveled metal sash. Kushina continues her punch to its head sending it reeling back. Kushina with a blade in her stomach doesn't let go and begins to wail on the asura path breaking it to pieces as it falls down as a broken heep. She pulls the metal sash out and moves sluggishly to help Hitomi but, she turns to see a large missile form on the back of the asura path and explodes and takes her out and the surrounding area out in a flash of light. The preta path drops the dead body of Hitomi and grabs the remains of the asura path and heads to meet up with the Naraka path.
"The information we received is critical to our counter attack." Yugao says receiving intelligence directly from the analysis team.
"It only implies that he is controlling them remotely and means now we have to find him." Anko says looking at Yugao
"But, this method requires him to send out a signal which must be close and high up to be its most effective." Shizune says while standing next to a Katsuyu clone sitting next to them.
"We still need to deal with the path's in the village before it's nothing but ruins." Yugao says
"Not if we stop him directly." Anko replies
"We can't afford a search while the village is under attack." Shizune says
"It appears you've figured me out, you konoha are a bright bunch." the animal path says standing on a chameleon that suddenly appears in the room.
"Truly a bright bunch but, does you little good." the human path says as he charges at Yugao with an extended chakra receiver and clashes with Yugao's blade. And the animal path summons the giant rhino to charge through the building tearing it down.
"We need to move and head toward a secure location." Anko says as she uses striking shadow snakes at the Animal path who's chameleon's snake tail lunges at Anko and bites into here and flings her into some rubble.
"Anko!" Yugao says distracted and doesn't notice the second receiver in his arm pierce through her chest killing her. The animal path goes to the downed anko as she bleeds out from the snake bite and stabs her with a chakra receiver ending Anko.
"Anko Yugao!" Shizune shouts as she is constricted by the tail of the chameleon.
"Lets see if you know where the kyuubi jinchuriki is." The human path says as it pulls out her soul killing her.
"It would seem only the Nanabi is in the village at the moment." the animal path says as it jumps out of the destroyed building to search for the Nanabi jinchuriki and is followed by the human path.
Fu was tired of hiding and decided to take the fight to Pain with the rest of the village. She began searching the village and ran smack dab into Konan who recognizes her.
"I was looking for the kyuubi jinchuriki but, finding you the nanabi jinchuriki will do." Konan says as she throws paper shuriken that Fu dodges and fires a wind release: air bullet at konan dodges the attack in the air and performs the paper clone jutsu and sends the clones toward Fu.
"You won't catch me that easily!" Fu shouts as she uses lightning release: lightning ball sending a volley of orbs of electricity into the clones that explode from the smoke sevel paper javelin's fly at her with one nicking her shoulder as she ducks and activates her thunder release: thunder armor and jumps into the air with a pair of insect wings forming. She flies quickly toward Konan and attempts to karate chop her with her armor active but, Konan becomes pieces of paper and starts to smother Fu as Konan reforms away from her. Fu manages to break free thanks to her thunder armor and flies toward Konan who throws a paper chakram at Fu but, she slices through it with her armor just as she is about to get close she is hit with a shinra tensei sending her flying through several buildings.
"Good timing I was having some difficulty." Konan says calmly
"It appears the kyuubi jinchuriki isn't here so, we have to settle for the Nanabi instead." the deva path says as he spots Fu pulling herself out of the rubble slowly without her thunder armor active. The deva performs bansho tenin to pull the dazed Fu towards him and stabs her with a chakra receiver. He then impales her in several locations with receivers and has Konan bind Fu in paper as the deva path heads toward the hokage tower. Where he spots the hokage at the top of the building with 3 anbu.
"So, You're Pain." the hokage says icily noticing the floating man
"Indeed I am" the deva path says
"You have some nerve attacking the village like this!" the hokage shouts
"The same nerve as the village waged war on the homes of others." the deva path says
"I don't know what the village has done to you but, it doesn't justify killing innocent people." the hokage says heatedly
"Innocence doesn't exist in the shinobi world only suffering and through pain may we come to understand each other." the deva path says with conviction
"What you're spreading is chaos not understanding you're only out for revenge." the hokage says angrily
"Maybe if you have experienced true suffering then, you may come to understand that only through causing pain can we know peace." the deva path says
"Peace through suffering is only tyranny." the hokage shouts
"Tyranny that has been made through suffering is still a form of peace. Let me demonstrate that tyranny brings peace by knowing God's judgement." the deva path says as he rises into the air and shouts "Shinra Tensei" causing a massive explosion that forms a crater that spans across the entire village.
Meanwhile, with Naruko she is training in frog kata with Fukasaku when a toad reports that the toad summoning scroll containing the names of the toads shows that the toad staying at the leaf has been killed. Fukasaku asks Shima to head to Konoha to summon them if there's trouble. Shima quickly leaves and not too long later she summons Gamabunta, Gamakichi, Gamaken, Gamahiro, Fukasaku, and Naruko.
"They've wrecked the place alright." Fukasaku says grimly as his wife hops to his side.
"I can't believe the damage, nothing is left." Naruko says shocked
"It just happened when I summoned you." Shima says
"I barely sense anyone" Naruko says while, in sage mode
"Look down there it's Tsunade." Fukasaku says pointing toward the center of the crater.
"Theirs also, another person down besides Tsunade." Shima says
"It must be Pain." Naruko says as she and Gamakichi jump toward the hokage's side.
"Are you alright Baa-chan?" Naruko asks noticing the seal on Tsunade's forehead is missing
"I'll be alright take Katsuyu she has information we collected on Pain." the hokage says as she places the palm sized slug on Naruko's shoulder.
"I'll take it from here. You get some rest ok." Naruko says as Gamakichi picks up Tsunade and hops away.
"Be careful Naruko." the hokage says as she slips into unconsciousness
"So, you're Pain" Naruko says as she looks at the man before him
"Yes I am, come quietly Jinchuriki and make this easy on both of us." the deva path says as the animal path lands next to the deva path and summons the remaining paths to the battlefield.
"After what you've done to the village not a chance!" Naruko says heatedly
"Then, we do this the hard way." The asura path says launching itself at Naruko with blades extended from it's arm but Naruko smashes it with a punch destroying it. The animal path summons a giant ox and giant rhino that charge Naruko but, Shima and Fukasaku use sage art: frog call to stun them and Gamaken and Gamahiro attack the two summons as Naruko creates two shadow clones. The Real Naruko attacks the preta path that attempts to punch her but, she hits it with the shockwave of sage energy having the preta path bounce away as she heads toward the human path that pulls out a chakra receiver and attempts to stab Naruko but, Naruko snaps it to Pain's surprise and is hit with a sage art: rasengan sending the human path flying. Naruko turns toward the animal path that summons a dog with several heads that Gamabunta handles. Naruko hits the animal path with a contract seal negating her control of the summons and hit's the animal path with a sage art: rasengan. The preta path tries to sneak up on her and tries to drain her chakra but, she puts one of her seals a sage chakra seal on its head causing it to petrify, so she breaks free. She throws a smoke bomb at the deva path and as the smoke clears she has disappeared. When suddenly the ground beneath the naraka path breaks open and she uses earth release: rending drill fang against with a sage powered punch sending it flying toward one of her clones that uses sage art: rasengan against it smashing it. Naruko turns toward the remaining path.
"I wish to talk with the real you." Naruko says toward the deva path
"You won't get the chance while, you've given me more trouble than anyone who has come before, you still can't defeat me." the deva path says
"As a pupil who shared the same master as me I want to know why you're doing all of this." Naruko says heatedly
"This is all for the sake of peace." the deva path says
"Peace!? You can't be serious!" Naruko shouts
"Yes I am, peace brought through pain." the deva path says
"That isn't peace, that's only suffering." Naruko says angrily
"You're naive just as Jiraiya was." the deva path says
"I also want peace but all you're offering is despair." Naruko says
"We have the same goal as we share the same master; it's only natural." the deva path says
"That's why I wish to speak with you face to face." Naruko says calmly
"Let me ask what is your answer for peace." the deva path asks
"I-I am not certain I have an answer." Naruko says
"Then, you should give up and accept the answer I found." the deva path says
"I can't give up because too many people depend on me." Naruko says with conviction
"What a shame then, I guess you will have to suffer more for us to understand each other." the deva path says as he uses shinra tensei to draw Fukasaku toward him and stabs through Fukasaku.
"Gramps!"Naruko shouts as she jumps toward him but couldn't reach him in time. The deva path uses bansho tenin to pull Naruko toward him and impales her on his chakra receiver and pins her to the ground and stabs chakra receivers into her joints.
"Tell me do you understand better now!" The deva path says as Shima cries are heard and Gamabunta, Gamaken, and Gamahiro move to strike down Pain, but they're blasted to the outskirts of konoha heavily injured.
"That's enough!" Naruko screams as she tries to move
"What worth do you hold if you cannot give me an answer." the deva path says causing Naruko to start shed tears at her weakness.
"Don't listen to him both Jiraiya and Fukasaku had faith in you to find the answer you mustn't give up!" Shima says through her tears.
"What an annoying frog." the deva path says as he uses bansho tenin to pull Shima toward him and stabs her and drops her near her husband.
"So, tell me what's your answer?" the deva path says to the broken Naruko who stares at the bodies of Fukasaku and Shima and she snaps. She becomes covered in a dome of chakra and breaks free of the chakra receivers. She forms 6 tails and is covered in a version 2 shroud of blood red chakra. Naruko lets out a mighty roar and punches the deva path sending him flying.
"Is this your answer; how can we understand each other like this?" the deva path asks the growling Naruko.
"You think you understand pain let me show you mine." The deva path says as the chakra beast lunges at him and he performs shinra tensei attempting to push Naruko away but, he is repelled into the wall of konoha. He forms a black ball as Naruko fires streams of chakra at him as he unleashes chibaku tensei and the black ball rises into the sky picking up all the scattered debris along the walls of the village and sucks up wreckage and bodies into it until the ground starts rise into the sphere carrying the chakra beast as well and becomes trapped inside the newly formed satellite hovering over what once was konoha.
"Nagato you're pushing yourself too hard." Konan says toward Nagato as he coughs blood and bleeds from the nose. In their hideaway near konoha.
"It's fine I need to go this far in order to capture the kyuubi." Nagato says as he watches through the eyes of the deva path as the kyuubi emerges with eight tails and lets out a roar.
Inside the seal Naruko is floating in bubbling water as she tries to find an answer to all that she has lost.
"Peace how the heck should I know how to achieve it." Naruko says
"You've lost everything, so why not give yourself over to me and let me crush him and end your suffering." kyuubi says negatively
"My suffering can end?" Naruko asks
"Yes just as the boys ended let me free and I will end it for you." kyuubi says eagerly
"It can finally be over. I can join my family." Naruko says as she reaches for her stomach that there is a hole in that is leaking ink.
"Yes just turn the key and it'll be over." Kyuubi says ominously as Naruko is just about to twist the lock.
"That's enough out of you kyuubi. Picking on a girl lost in grief you just sunk to new lows." A voice says as a hand grabs Naruko stopping her from opening the seal.
"It's you! How!? You're dead!" the kyuubi roars as Naruko turns to who stopped her and is shocked at who is standing there.
"It can't be you died in my arms!?" Naruko says as she is stunned to see Menma Uzumaki inside the seal.
"Is it a surprise that I could cheat death a third time." Menma says with a smirk
"But, how there was nothing left of you?" Naruko says shocked
"Oh I died alright but, I had a body to return to." Menma says
"You mean you're back inside my body but, how?!" Naruko says confused
"When I tapped your forehead I performed a byakugan kinjutsu called soul migration jutsu allowing me to implant my life force and soul into another body which, of course is yours." Menma says
"You bastard come here, so I may rip you to pieces for using that blasted sharingan on me?!" the kyuubi roars in rage
"I didn't remember we had a deal. I would have used the sharingan if you hadn't." Menma says nonchalantly
"You still planned to use it on me you bastard?!" the kyuubi rages
"We can discuss it later right now I need to have a word with my sister." Menma says as he turns his back on kyuubi.
"What do you want to talk about?" Naruko asks puzzled
"I want to know when you turned into a quitter." Menma says
"Huh?!" Naruko says surprised
"You were about to give up and give in why now?" Menma asks
"I feel lost. I need an answer for peace that everyone believes I have but, I don't know honestly." Naruko says with a sigh
"Even before you became interested in peace you just kept moving forward regardless of what was done to you and now in the search for peace you must keep doing just that despite what you've lost as long as you keep moving forward you'll find it." Menma says with a smile
"Thanks I think I have my answer." Naruko says returning the smile
"Good don't let a little thing as pain stop you. It hasn't broken you before and it won't now." Menma says with confidence
"You're right I can overcome this and when I do I'll continue forward as I always have." Naruko says with a smirk
"Now get out there and kick some ass." Menma says proudly
"I've got it handled." Naruko says as she exits the seal entering sage mode as the satellite begins to crumble. She jumps from rock to rock as she lands in front of the Deva path.
"So, you managed to suppress the kyuubi." the deva path says surprised
"Yeah now all that's left to do is defeat you and confront the real you." Naruko says
"That is if you can defeat me." the deva path says as Naruko goes through seals for wood release: wood dragon jutsu and launches it at the deva path who uses shinra tensei to repel it as Naruko begins running toward him. Just as he is about to blast her away the debris around him turns into shadow clones that try to attack but, he uses shinra tensei to blow them away as Naruko closes in she creates shadow clones to cushion the blast from the jutsu. She is thrown by clones at the deva path before he resumes attacking and is hit with sage art: rasengan sending him flying. He flies through the rubble before being planted into a rock wall. Naruko goes to the body and pulls out the chakra receivers. She stabs one into her to trace back the signal to the real Pain Nagato and heads in that direction. She finally arrives at a tree made of paper and rips it open to see Nagato, Konan and the wrapped up body of Fu.
"So you've come to face me." Nagato says
"Yes and I wish to talk to you." Naruko says
"Words from you are pointless, you only serve to be a source of power for my ultimate jutsu." Nagato says as he shoots chakra receivers from his walker into Naruko.
"I said I just wanted to talk because I found my answer." Naruko says as she pulls the chakra receiver from her gut.
"Very well then let's have your answer." Nagato says
"Before I give my answer I need to ask how you both Jiraiya's students came to your answer." Naruko asks curious
"You wish to know my pain very well I will tell you." Nagato says
"Nagato you don't-" Konan is about to say
"It's fine as a fellow pupil she has a right to know." Nagato says
"My life has been surrounded by two great pains. The first came at the death of my parents by konoha nin that broke into our house looking for food and when I snapped I killed them with the power of the rinnegan but, I wouldn't realize that till later. I became an orphan and as I made my way across the country trying to survive and nearly fell to starvation, I met Konan who introduced me to Yahiko and together the three of us became friends. We stole to survive but, we weren't safe as the second shinobi war was in full swing. That's when we met the sannin Jiraiya who took us under his wing. As time passed we grew close without me realizing it and he eventually asked me about peace and I simply replied that all I wanted to do was protect Konan and Yahiko. One day an Iwa nin attacked us while we were training away from Jiraiya that was when my Rinnegan activated again and I killed the Iwa nin. When Jiraiya realized that I had the rinnegan; he came to believe that I was the one who would bring about change to the shinobi world while all I wanted was to protect my friends. Eventually Jiraiya left us and with Yahiko as our Leader we gathered like minded individuals and formed Akatsuki. As we grew in power Hanzo the salamander took notice of us and asked us to help broker peace with the other villages. But, it was a lie; Hanzo having made a deal with Danzo already took Konan hostage and threw a kunai at me and gave me the choice of either killing Yahiko or he would kill Konan. Yahiko without hesitation impaled himself on the kunai entrusting me to carry on our hope for peace. I snapped and slaughtered Hanzo's men and Danzo's root members and rescued Konan but, I came to realize my answer to peace was a false one with Yahiko's death the second great tragedy in my life I realized that only through suffering will people come to understand each other and reformed Akatsuki into what it became." Nagato says with conviction at the end
"That's my and Konan's story. Now it's time for your answer." Nagato says as Naruko stares at them sadly
"Thank you for sharing your story with me and I'm sorry for your loss but, before I can give you my answer I should explain how I reached it through my own suffering." Naruko says as she pulls out Jiraiya's first book from her ninja pouch.
"Very well let me hear of your pain." Nagato says with interest
"My story doesn't start with the loss of parents but, the story of a little boy named Naruto Uzumaki. He was my predecessor as the kyuubi jinchuriki and his story was the foundation for my creation. You see the village feared the kyuubi and acted out it's anger on Naruto they beat and starved him till he was old enough to leave the orphanage forcing him to survive on the streets eating garbage as the villagers hunted and beat him on every occasion till finally on his 8th birthday they burned him alive at the stake when he was finally rescued he was taken to the hospital to recover only to be kidnapped by men working for Danzo who had him tortured in a cell he was electrocuted, boiled, frozened, poisoned, flayed, and mutilated in various ways for about 6 months and finally broke and all that left was a beast trying to escape that is when Danzo came and Implanted commands into him that became the foundation of my existence they were to protect Konoha and assist the red tide project. Two minds came into being from those two commands. The first order came to be me and the second my brother Menma Uzumaki. The scientists altered and mutilated Naruto's body into that of a woman that they experimented on trying to create a new creature with the powers of various Kekkei Genkai when they were satisfied they had accomplished the goal they Impregnated me and killed the unborn fetuses that didn't carry the Kekkei Genkai this lasted for 2 years till finally after countless rapes and degradations and experiments they produced a baby that carried the Kekkei Genkai they desired and cut the baby out of me and took him away. In my grief and anguish the kyuubi broke free of its seal and attempted to level the village but, the spirits of the 4th hokage and his wife had been placed into the seal and managed to reseal the kyuubi into me. I was found by the 3rd and raised as his granddaughter. Through the sacrifice of the 4th and his wife I first had an answer to peace which was to protect the village as I was programmed to. As the years passed I believed that my path was the correct one but, I began to have doubts when I heard of what Itachi did by massacring his clan on the orders of the village elders to prevent a rebellion. Menma my brother saw it as a sign along with Naruto's treatment that the village wasn't worth protecting and instead prioritized the safety of the Uzumaki clan above all else. So, when he escaped this body and found his own he attacked the village in a preemptive strike and killed my son Sesshomaru that Danzo had taken for himself. When I battled Menma we fought over who should be protected the village or the clan in the end I chose the village but, came to realize my answer was counterproductive as the village would always be put first therefore protecting its people was pointless as they would be sacrificed on the whim of the village so, the peace I was protecting was built on the suffering of others made my answer worthless. As you began killing those close to me one by one and eventually the entire village, my clan, and my family I became lost at how to respond to the answer for peace. But, I was reminded of how I lived my life that despite hardship I kept moving forward regardless of the loss. And I remembered what I read from Jiraiya's first novel about the character Naruto who kept moving forward determined that if there was such a thing as peace he would keep searching for it." Naruko says calmly
"Jiraiya's first book is where you heard it." Nagato asks
"Yes, his first book was dedicated to his student that inspired him, that was you Nagato." Naruko says as Nagato looks in surprise
"Naruto was named after the hero of the book and I was named in honor of Naruto to honor his existence that never knew peace but endured in hopes of living to see it even as he was tortured daily his spirit may have ceased to be but, his will and body endured in me." Naruko says with pride
"If you change then what would that mean?" Nagato says
"It would mean that I was no longer worthy of being Naruko and someone else would eventually continue where I left off." Naruko says with conviction
"Heh I see so, even if the character changes the story remains the same, giving up only means you become unworthy of your answer." Nagato says amused
"Yes as long as we endure we will find peace." Naruko says confidently
"Naruko I can see why Jiraiya had faith in you and never gave up even at the end." Nagato says as he lifts his arms to perform a hand sign.
"What're you doing?" Naruko asks
"I'm putting my faith in you and your answer. You've shown me a path that I had long given up on and given me hope for the future." Nagato says as he begins to channel his chakra summoning the king of hell into the leaf village.
"Nagato You can't!" Konan shouts worried
"What's he doing?!" Naruko asks
"Nagato is the outer path he has the power over life and death but, the toll on him is great and as he is I don't know if he will survive it." Konan says afraid
"I'm doing this for the peace I seek. Naruko you will face my trials ahead and much more hardship, but don't ever lose your way." Nagato says as his hair turns white.
"Nagato" Konan says amazed and turns to look at Naruko, astonished that Nagato could be willing to do something such as this for her.
"It's funny in a way...It feels as if it was all set up...perhaps this is the work...of a real god." Nagato says taking shallow breaths that grow faint
"Don't worry Nagato, I won't give up. you've entrusted me your will just as Jiraiya has done and I won't let it go to waste. Thank you for showing me pain and how to overcome it." Naruko says with a smile
"Naruko...thank... you" Nagato says as he breathes his last breath.
"Nagato!" Konan says tearfully
"It will be alright he is with Yahiko and Jiraiya-sensei now and I know they will be proud of him." Naruko says as she goes over to Konan and gives her a gentle embrace. As Konan cries into Naruko's shoulder.
"Naruko thank you for helping us find our way after so long." Konan says into Naruko's shoulder.
"Not a problem, it's what I do." Naruko says as Konan backs away. She releases the cocoon of paper covering Fu and removes the chakra receivers from Fu's unconscious body.
"Take her back to your village while I tend to Nagato's and Yahiko's bodies." Konan says
"Alright but, before you leave with them I want to speak to you again." Naruko says with a smile
"That's fine." Konan says as she begins wrapping Nagato's body in paper. Naruko heads her way back to the village with Fu being carried bridal style. When she arrives at the east gate she is surprised to see her family alive and waiting for her.
"What's going on?" Naruko asks her family as the girls take Fu and begin treating her with medical ninjutsu.
"We decided to meet you at the gate before the villagers do to celebrate the hero of the village." Shizune says
"I'm not a hero, I was doing what was right." Naruko says
"No you're definitely a hero for convincing Pain to revive all the people of the village." Anko says
"How do you know about that?" Naruko asks confused
"I relayed to everyone what was said between you and Nagato." Katsuyu says
"So, everyone knows our stories" Naruko says uncomfortable
"Yes, Naruko." Yugao says proudly
"You're amazing to be who you are after everything you went through." Tsume says
"I agree with my mother you're an amazing woman." Hana says
"Thank you but I have to be going. I asked to see Konan before she left." Naruko says
"Then you best be going we'll tend to the crowd of people." Guren says rubbing her pregnant stomach carrying her living unborn child. As she points to the gathering crowd.
"Thanks, I'll be gone awhile, I give you all my thanks when I get back." Naruko says as she takes off and heads back to where she left Konan. When she arrives she finds the paper tree she was hiding in gone and two cocoons of paper containing Nagato and Yahiko.
"So, you found Yahiko's body quickly." Naruko says
"Yes we ensured a means of keeping tabs on it even without the receivers." Konan says
"I understand you wouldn't want to risk losing his body after all." Naruko says in understanding
"I will be returning to Ame. It will fall into chaos without someone to lead it." Konan says
"What do you plan to do? I don't see you sticking with Akatsuki." Naruko asks
"Nagato was my last tie to Akatsuki I've no interest in returning to it now." Konan says
"What're your plans for the future?" Naruko asked curious
"I plan on dealing with the masked man who claims to be Madara. I have no doubt he will make a move for the rinnegan since it's through them that the Gedo Mazo statue is being controlled." Konan says
"You've only thought that far ahead tells me you're not sure you will survive." Naruko says concerned
"I'm not certain I can defeat him but, I have a plan to kill him or die trying." Konan says
"I think you're not thinking far enough ahead perhaps you need something to continue forward." Naruko says as she begins to form smoke that she channels toward Konan.
"What would that be?" Konan says as she falls into slumber having Naruko catch her.
"Don't worry it's something that will give you happiness in the future." Naruko says as he hiraishins with Konan and the two bodies to the hideaway. When she arrives she carries Konan into a separate room leaving the two bodies in a separate one. She lays Konan down on a bed and strips her naked. She then injects a syringe full of purple gel into Konan's neck causing her to start to squirm as her body begins feeling the effects of the aphrodisiac. Naruko starts to whisper instructions into Konan's ear.
"Konan you're one of my lovers and part of my harem, You wish to conceive a child with me. As we have sex you're not allowed to cum until I do. Do you understand?" Naruko asks
"Yes" Konan moans
"Good then you may wake up." Naruko says as she performs the gender reversal jutsu on herself. As Konan slowly awakes she finds herself naked on a bed with Naruko looking at her with a 12 inch. penis.
"Where am I?" Konan asks confused and aroused
"It doesn't matter, we're here to give you something for the future, a baby." Naruko says
"I had given up on children when Yahiko died but, this seems to be a new opportunity." Konan says as she opens her thighs showing her moist womanhood to Naruko. Naruko lines up her cock with Konan's entrance and inserts herself into it. She begins to thrust filling up konan's womb and continues to pound away for an hour and reaches her uterus as Konan begins to shout "Fuck! I've never felt like this before! I feel so stuffed! Hurry and impregnate me!"
"As you wish Konan I'm here for you" Naruko says as she gives one last thrust burying her cockhead into Konan's uterus and unleashes her seed causing Konan's belly to swell up to look six months pregnant. As Konan finally climaxes she is knotted and a mating plug forms trapping the sperm inside. Naruko cuddles with Konan for half an hour till finally she pours smoke into Konan and issues her commands.
"Konan you will keep the baby as it's an Uzumaki and if anyone asks who the father is it's Menma Uzumaki. Do you understand?" Naruko asks
"Yes" Konan moans rubbing her swollen stomach
"Good let's get some rest." Naruko says as she places the line preservation curse seal on Konan above her pussy. She lays with Konan for several hours till Konan finally gets up along with Naruko. As Konan gets up she gets dressed with a contemplative look on her face.
"What's wrong Konan?" Naruko asks
"Just promise me, on these flowers that'll never wilt that you won't change." Konan says as she hands a bouquet of paper flowers to Naruko.
"I promise not only you but, our future child." Naruko says as she places her hand on Konan's swollen stomach that gurgles.
"Thank you for giving me a future." Konan says as she gives Naruko a deep kiss.
"No thank you for putting your trust in me." Naruko says with a smile as she returns a kiss
"I must be going now." Konan says as she makes her way to the next room to collect Nagato's and Yahiko's bodies. Naruko escorts her to the exposed entrance of the hideaway and follows her to the village gates where she takes off with the bodies. Naruko decides to go see her family and then, check up on the hokage.
