9 - A God Falls and the Uzumaki Clan is Reborn
"WHAT!" Jiraiya and Star Sapphire shouted.
The Green Lantern put his pinky in his ear to stop the sudden ringing, before looking at his godfather and girlfriend. "This Pein persona Nagato is using is basically calling himself Kami on Earth if that's not ego and arrogance than I don't know what is. Shinobi rule 12 after information is gathered use what you know from rules one and two."
"Deception and misdirection," Jiraiya stated shaking his head. "Naruto your mom would be kissing your cheeks about now."
Green Lantern smiled sadly, "Wish I knew her and dad."
Jiraiya nodded, "So frontal assault then?"
"No, make them too suspicious need them to believe we infiltrated with the attempt to attack them. When the timing is right I'll offer to surrender to Nagato in person. If things work out and he's arrogant enough I'll be marched right up to him so he can gloat in whatever way, probably try to rationalize killing people to bring some bullshit peace about," the whisker marked lantern explains he looks at his girlfriend noting how quiet she was. "Sakura-chan?"
She reached and took his hands, "Please don't do this, there's so much that could go wrong, I-I don't want to lose you."
Green Lantern glanced at Jiraiya who took the hint and walked far enough for the young couple so they could talk privately. "You won't Sakura-chan, that is my promise of a lifetime. I try to do my best to keep my word."
Star Sapphire took several deep breaths knowing that when her Naruto made a promise you could bank on it being kept. She leans forward kissing him lightly, "Then I will hold you to that promise, I want to grow old with you, see our children, and watch you take that hat from Lady Tsunade."
Green Lantern's eyes widen, "Um, Sakura-chan did you just kind of propose?"
The rosette haired girl smiled softly, "survive this whole ordeal and ask me that again."

The trip to the Hidden Rain village was quiet and used every amount of stealth the shinobi knew entering very hostile territory. The trio used Gamakachi to enter from the docks and snuck through the loading bays for the local fishing merchants. However they were felt the moment they appear the Rain blanketing the village and what gave it its name was laced with chakra so that the Village leader could be warned from any possible invasion it was why Hanzo the Salamander had never been caught surprise within his own. What Pein didn't realize that the two power rings had warned their wielders of the alarm, which in turn the two wielders informed Jiraiya. Basically both sides had been warned of the other; as such the Green Lantern, Star Sapphire, and the Toad Sannin were quickly surrounded by seven figures in cloaks that had red clouds imprinted upon them.
"Very foolish coming here, nine-tails," Konan stated in a hollow yet worried sounding voice. Konan was a practical woman, she knew that her orange masked benefactor was stark raving insane and somehow managed to brainwash Nagato into thinking what he was doing would bring about true peace. More like enslavement, and no matter what I say Nagato is doing what that lunatic wants. Now, oh please kami, if Nagato ever wakes from sees he extracted the nine-tails from his older sister's son; he will never begin to forgive himself. Konan was more shocked at Naruto's presence than Nagato had been they saw the trio enter the warehouse.
"If we fight here your village will get destroyed, and every other hidden village will know where you hideout," Green Lantern states, "I doubt even you could hold off over ten thousand plus Jonin and Chunin from all five Hidden Villages."
"Why would the villages care what happens to the jinchuuriki?" Pein asked.
"They wouldn't but they would get retribution out of fear then actually giving a damn of people like me," Green Lantern responded with a shrug missing Star Sapphire and Jiraiya's pained expressions. "But I got a proposal for you, I surrender to the real Pein and not these glorified puppets, we get no fight and you don't have every village in the Elemental Nation coming down on your heads."
"Promise me," Pein stated emotionlessly. "I've kept tabs so I know once you've given your word you keep it."
Fine, I Naruto Uzumaki," he watched the Yahiko puppet twitch slightly at the mention of the last name. "Hereby do surrender to you and will not defend myself physically against you. I promise."
Konan notice the verbal wording of the promise, what does that mean?

Using various back allies and hidden corridors the trio were unsure where they would end up until they came to a large chamber. At the center of the chamber on a chair with various black poles sticking out of him sat a withered husk of a man, his long red hair reaching his lap and the purple rippled Rinnegan gazing at him Green Lantern impassively. "We will begin the extraction."
"Actually you're not, I Naruto Uzumaki head of Clan Uzumaki invoke the Uzumaki Doctrine on you Nagato Uzumaki," Green Lantern states watching Pein seize up.
"You broke your word," Pein states.
"No I didn't, I said wouldn't physically defend myself," the blonde lantern chuckled. "Far as I know words aren't physical," glancing over at the blue haired woman who looked indecisive. "I take it you know about the brainwashing," he saw the woman nod. "You have no loyalty to anyone cept my Uncle?"
"I have been by his side since we were children. He was devastated when your grandparents were murdered by Hanzo and your own Root ANBU. He wanted to bring freedom to this village and peace to the world like in Jiraiya's teachings," Konan looked down. "The orange masked man offered us aide that was when I think he first started the brainwashing."
"Would you allow me and Sakura to fix him?" Green Lantern asked.
"How I have tried everything to get him to remember who he was, who his sister was, who you are, nothing gets through," Konan cried out.
"Sakura-chan and I have a unique gift from the stars," the blonde lantern turned to Nagato raising his right arm and a beam of green energy shot out. Star Sapphire quickly follow her own beam of violet crystal energy, the green energy beam turned into a helmet the melded around Nagato's head perfectly while the violet energy formed a visor over his eyes.
"Whatever you do it will not change anything," Pein stated softly. "You will know pain."
"Uncle Nagato please shut up," the blonde replied as the GL ring entered the man's mind searching for suppress or altered memories, its search didn't need to go very far.
"Multiple mental alterations detected, diagnostics to find solution running," the GL ring went through its extensive database before landing on an answer. "Solution found, erasing existing memory for the last twenty years, repair damage to frontal lobes. Insert unaltered memory files from Green Lantern database. Process length ten minutes need Star Sapphire ring to detach emotions or mental scarring will occur."
Konan walked up to her former sensei, "Sensei please forgive us for perverting your teachings."
"Just like to know who this orange masked guy is, and you two are not at fault. Nagato was brainwashed and you went with him to try to snap him out of it. Besides I know for a fact that you guys only extracted the one, three, and four tails, the rest are in the wind, Fu is in the Hidden Leaf both the two and eight tails are in the Hidden Cloud so both are safe and sound unless the Akatsuki have an army," Jiraiya pursed his lips. "Wish I knew who this guy is with that mask?"
"I have no idea, Jiraiya-sensei the only I can tell you is he has the Sharingan," Konan explained.
"It's Obito Uchiha," Green Lantern stated. "My guess someone botched up the Impure World jutsu shortly after the last war."
"The only one who knew that jutsu is Orochimaru," the toad sannin states.
"Come on Pervy-sage think about it do you know who my dad's secretary was after he became Hokage and who could access the Forbidden Scroll and no one would know," the blonde pointed out.
Jiraiya closed his eyes not wanting to think about the implications, "Rin, then what happened to her?"
"I don't know but if we find her we can stop Obito," Green Lantern looked at the loading scroll mockup he had in front of him seeing it was nearly done. "She might be the mastermind behind his plan because I don't think he can act independently."
"All that grief leading her to do these horrible things," Star Sapphire said sadly.
"So you know about the Moon Eye plan?" Konan asked Green Lantern.
Green Lantern nodded turning his ring off followed shortly by the light around Nagato vanished revealing that not only did some mental work on the Uzumaki but also fixed the physical problem. Aside from the extremely long hair Nagato looked healthy. He was holding his head for a second before looking up and getting his eyes to focus, "Konan-chan?" he stated looking a bit confused then seeing another person he recognized. "Pervy-Jiraiya-sensei?"
Green Lantern chuckled as the toad sannin groaned, "Wow glad to know I'm not the only Uzumaki who calls you pervy."
"I completely forgot that," Jiraiya stated.
Nagato then focuses on the Green Lantern, "Minato?"
"No that was my dad," Green Lantern said with a sad smile.
"Really so Minato and Kushina got married how are they," Nagato asked pleasantly.
Green Lantern looked down and sighed, "There's a lot to tell you uncle, most you won't like when you hear it."
The older Uzumaki looked mildly confused as Konan walked up and gently took his hand, the fact she was giving it meant emotional support. He was hesitant to let his nephew go on especially if the pink haired girl and his sensei shared grim looks. "I know but please tell me anyway, I would like to know." So for the next few hours Naruto using his accumulated knowledge from his power ring retold everything that happened from time of Nagato's last coherent memory to the present, he took it really well. "I think I'm going to be sick."

Leaving eight shadow clones behind, Nagato sealed his six paths into storage scrolls bound and determined to give them all proper burials when they reached the Hidden Leaf. Then the Rinnegan user explained he didn't need the six bodies to use his abilities persay just it was easier to divide those abilities up if he had them. Naruto explained using shadow clones would be easier and less creepy than using reanimated corpses. The older Uzumaki agreed and stated he had never had any intention of using corpses just that the brainwashing pretty much killed all his morals.
Further back from the bonding family walked the two young women that wanted to join that family. Sakura was quietly talking to the paper user asking her about her trials and tribulations. Jiraiya meanwhile watched from a pleasant spot at the rear, seeing that Sakura and Konan had grown a lot. Giggling perversely the toad sannin began writing in his note book. "Great Pervy-sage is writing notes," Naruto stated dryly.
"Still, he was always doing that when we stop at a town during our training," Nagato explained. "What does he write in that thing?"
Naruto pulled out his copy Legend of the Gutsy Ninja, "The first one he wrote was this, it's an awesome story mom and dad even named me after the main character in it. The rest," he sighed listening to more giggles, "Sakura-chan, Konan-san Pervy-sage is ogling your butts," a few seconds later both he and Nagato could hear girlish screams.
"Is Jiraiya-sensei hurting them?" Nagato turned and looked on in confusion as both the love of his life and Naruto's girlfriend were stomping his sensei into the ground.
"Other way around, righteous female fury Uncle," the whisker marked blonde shuddered. "No way to escape it, the only thing you can do is ride the wave and hope they don't kill you in the process."
Nagato shuddered, "then remind me nephew never ever, ever get Konan-chan in that mode. Things she can do with paper is scary."
"Only if you remind me to the same with Sakura-chan, she has medical training she can make things hurt heal them then make them hurt again," Naruto stated watching as both the rosette haired girl and the blue haired young woman nod to each other before approaching the two Uzumaki clan mates.
Sakura grabbed Naruto's hand, "Come on Naruto-kun, your perverted sensei can pick himself up in his own damn time and get back by himself." Konan did the same with Nagato as they all walked off.
Blooming pussy whipped traitors, Jiraiya thought mentally watching his two male students get led away.
