Jiriaya's Past
…Normal POV in the leaf few hours ago…
Minato was stamping papers with Kushina helping
"Hello," Jiriaya said coming in.
"Oh Jiriaya-sensei," Minato responded.
"What brings you here?" Kushina asked.
"I got a mission request," Jiriaya said, "I found the location of what I believe is the location of the leader of the Akatsuki."
"Where is it?" Minato asked.
"Rumors has it he's in the Hidden Rain Village," Jiriaya said.
"Kakashi's group is in that village looking for Sasuke by finding Itachi," Minato said, "Maybe they can join up with you."
"No, they should stick to their mission," Jiriaya said, "Besides, Sasuke is after Itachi, and Kakashi's group is after Sasuke, it'll distract the akatsuki long enough for me to find the leader."
"Fine, at least take Tsunade with you," Minato said, "If two Sanins fight the leader, it's a better chance than one."
"Sounds good," Jiriaya said.
"I'll go get Tsunade," Kushina said leaving.
Jiriaya remained quiet that caught Minato's attention.
"You're thinking about them aren't you?" Minato asked, "The kids you left in the rain village?"
"It been years since I left them back the rain village," Jiriaya said, "I just wish I could of done more to prevent what happened to them."
"I understand what it's like to lose a student you had hopes for," Minato said, "There hasn't been a day I wished I arrived sooner at the enemies' location to prevent Obito's death."
"Yeah, but with every lost, a new opportunity seems to rise. You and Naruto both are proof of that," Jiriaya said, "I only wished you two got to meet those kids."
…
Tsunade finally came in slightly drunk.
"Okay, I'm here, what's going on?" Tsunade responded.
"You're going on a mission with Jiriaya-sensei Lady Tsunade," Minato said, "To the Village hidden in the Rain."
"So you're going there after all this time," Tsunade said turning to Jiriaya.
"I always knew I would return there one day, unfortunately for both of us, the time is now because there are rumors saying the leader of the Akatsuki might be there," Jiriaya said.
"So that means our mission is to go there and find the Akatsuki leader then," Tsunade responded.
"You both be careful," Minato said.
"Right," Jiriaya and Tsunade responded.
…Hours later in the Rain village…
A toad come out of the lake in the rain.
It opened it's mouth and Jiriaya came out first pulling out Tsunade with him.
"I really don't like traveling by toad," Tsunade said.
"Hey we infiltrate the Rain Village without being noticed right?" Jiriaya responded, "Come on, we got a lot of land to cover."
…
Pein noticed something was off right away.
"What is it?" Konan asked.
"2 people has obstruct my rain, and judging by their chakra they seem rather skilled," Pein explained, "Konan I'm going to stop the rain, use your jutsu to find the intruder."
"Right," Konan said making the hand sign.
…
Sasuke was at the hide out as the birds flew off.
Karin Suigetsu and Juugo came in.
"I thought I told you to stay back until I said other wise," Sasuke said.
"Karin said she sensed someone else's chakra, so we got curious," Suigetsu responded.
"Feather?" Karin asked seeing the feathers.
"We're moving, follow me," Sasuke told them.
…
Jiriaya and Tsunade worn hooded cloaks as they moved through the village.
Jiriaya summoned a toad that transformed into a building.
"Ready Tsunade?" Jiriaya asked.
"Yeah," Tsunade said as they made the hand sign.
They transformed into bar owners and use Genjutsu on the place to make it look like a bar.
Two men wearing a jacket and rain headband with a clean cut through the plate came in taking off their hats.
"Today is Sunday right?" one of them asked.
"Nope, something must be up with Lord Pein," the other one said, "He might be heading out of the country soon."
"But it's never rained on any other day," the first one said.
"He must have a good reason to be using so much power," the other one said.
"But this is practically a hurricane," his comrade said.
"Hey, Lord Pein's sacrificing himself for the sake of this town, you can deal with a little rain!" the guy said.
"Yeah you're right," the comrade said.
"Here you go," Tsunade said handing them a glass.
"But there's nothing there," the first guy said.
"Actually today we're having a big special in celebration of our stores grand opening," Jiriaya said, "You're in a good surprise."
Jiriaya and Tsunade transform back to normal.
The two men back away surprise.
"Who are you?" the second guy asked.
"We'll ask the questions around here," Tsunade said.
"And you better tell us what we want to know," Jiriaya said.
…
The toad transformed back to normal and jumped into the lake.
…
Suddenly the rain stopped as the sky cleared.
Jiriaya and Tsunade got the answers they needed.
"So the war is over," Tsunade said.
"I was shock hearing it as well," Jiriaya responded, "I can't believe Hanzou was killed, he was the one that named us Sanin."
…
Pein went into a room and laid in a chamber that was one of 6 in there.
Another Pein with orange long hair woke up ready.
…
"So now what?" Tsunade asked.
"We need to keep searching," Jiriaya said.
"What about Naruto, he'll catch onto our scent if we stay in one place," Tsunade said.
"We have to take the risk," Jiriaya responded, "And hope Naruto is too distracted with Sasuke at the time."
…
Sasuke's group was heading to find Itachi.
One of Naruto's clones came up as Sasuke jabbed him.
The clone disappeared in a puff of smoke.
…Naruto's POV…
I gained the memories of my shadow clone right away.
"I found him," I responded, "Follow me!"
I jumped off fallowing Sasuke's scent at the direction my shadow clone disappeared.
…Normal POV…
Jiriaya and Tsunade arrived at the tallest building transformed into the rain ninjas they captured.
…
Konan appeared forming from the papers in front of Pein.
"Well?" Pein asked.
"Its Jiriaya and that female member of the of his teammates," Konan said.
"Jiriaya-sensei, and he brought that woman," Pein said.
"What should we do?" Konan asked.
"Kill them of course," Pein said, "I took out this body to take down the intruders."
"I'll hold him off until you find him," Konan said as her body turned into paper planes and flew off.
…
Jiriaya and Tsunade arrived at an area.
Suddenly paper planes flew all over the place, and formed around them.
Konan appeared with a staff made out of paper ready to kill.
Jiriaya and Tsunade pushed themselves out of the paper trap.
"Long time no seek Jiriaya-sensei," Konan said appearing.
"Well, well, I didn't expect to run into you," Jiriaya said, "You've grown into one heck of a woman, and even improved your jutsus, Konan."
"Konan? Wait as in one of the three kids you took care of while staying in the rain village Konan?" Tsunade said, "I thought she died?"
"I thought so too," Jiriaya said, "So if you're alive, then Nagato and Yahiko must be alive as well. Where are they?"
"You don't need to know," Konan said as papers formed in her back and formed wings allowing her to fly.
"Wow, with those wings, you look like an angel," Jiriaya said.
"Would you stop complimenting her, we're trying to find Pein," Tsunade said.
"I must kill you both," Konan said.
The papers fired from the wings forming paper blades.
Jiriaya and Tsunade dodge the attacks.
"Toad oil blast!" Jiriaya thought a blew a blast of oil from his mouth.
Konan and her papers were hit causing the papers to grow soak and unusable.
"Go easy on her," Jiriaya said.
"Don't worry, I don't need much for her," Tsunade said jumping up.
With two fingers Tsunade knock Konan into the ground.
Jiriaya use his ponytail to grab Konan.
"Now Konan, I want you be a good girl and tell me where Nagato and Yahiko are at?" Jiriaya said.
"What are you trying to accomplish by revealing yourself to us again after leaving us?" Konan asked, "I even heard you picked up some more students after leaving us."
"I did had a couple of students, but I haven't forgotten about you three. I thought you were dead, but even at that thought I told Minato and Naruto stories about you Nagato and Yahiko," Jiriaya responded, "Now as for Pein, we heard about his god like powers, it's Nagato using his Rinnegan isn't it?"
…Flashback…
Jiriaya Tsunade and Orochimaru were resting from a battle when a boy with orange spiky hair came up to them.
"C-can I have some please?" the boy asked referring to the food.
"Where're your parents?" Jiriaya asked.
"They got killed in the war," the boy said.
Jiriaya felt bad and took out some crackers.
"Here, have some crackers," Jiriaya said.
"Hey Nagato, Konan, come out!" the boy shouted, "He's not a bad guy."
An 8 year old Konan and a boy with long red hair that covered half of his face came out.
Jiriaya handed them food before he Tsunade and Orochimaru walked off.
However the three children fallowed them as they headed off.
"We already gave you food! What do you want?" Tsunade asked.
"You're leaf ninjas right? Please teach us Ninjutsu," the spiky orange hair boy asked.
Konan took out an origami paper flower made out of the paper Jiriaya gave them.
"Why don't we just kill them and be done with it?" Orochimaru asked, "All these kids orphaned by the war have nothing but pain and suffering waiting for them."
"Are you off your rocker Orochimaru!" Jiriaya responded, "Look you and Tsunade go ahead, I'll take care of them for a while."
"Huh?" Tsunade responded.
"Just until they can fend for themselves, it's the least I can do to make up for all this," Jiriaya explained.
…
The past few days Jiriaya took care of the kids and taught them Ninjutsu in a house.
He learn that the orange spiky hair kid was Yahiko, the red hair boy was Nagato, and the girl was Konan.
One night Nagato started crying.
"What's wrong Nagato?" Yahiko asked.
"This reminds me of my family and…" Nagato responded.
"Quit crying, you're suppose to be a boy!" Yahiko shouted, "Everyone'll think the hidden rain village is full of wussies!"
"Hey relax, this war won't last forever," Jiriaya said, "I hope that by time you kids get bigger the countries will be in peace."
"No way, there will always be wars," Yahiko said, "This country is always raining, as if it's big crybaby. I'm going to change it and protect everyone."
…
One day Yahiko and Nagato got in trouble with some rain ninjas.
That was when Jiriaya found out that Nagato had the Dojutsu Kekigenki Rinnegan.
"Hey thanks for saving me Nagato," Yahiko told Nagato later, "Sorry for calling you a crybaby, next time we're in danger I'll save you."
"Thanks Yahiko," Nagato responded
…
One night Jiriaya woke up and found Nagato gone.
He found Nagato crying outside and place his hand on Nagato.
Nagato look to see it was Jiriaya.
"What's wrong? You can tell me," Jiriaya said.
"Sensei," Nagato responded.
"Is it about what happen earlier?" Jiriaya asked.
"When that guy started hurting Yahiko, I got really mad and black out, and when I came through, that guy was dead," Nagato said, "I killed someone, I shouldn't have done that."
"Hey listen, whatever happened, you saved Yahiko's life," Jiriaya said, "Hatred is born from being hurt and cause of it we feel guilt, but that's also why we try and be kind to others. That's what make us human."
"What do I have to do?" Nagato asked.
"You have to grow up," Jiriaya said.
"How can I do that?" Nagato asked.
"Hard to say, you have to find that out on your own," Jiriaya explained.
…
Days later Yahiko Konan and Nagato grew stronger as ninjas and Jiriaya left with his goodbyes.
…End of Flashback…
"After I left I keep hearing your names," Jiriaya said.
"You have no idea what happened to us after you left," Konan said.
"It wasn't Jiriaya's fault," Tsunade said.
"That's your opinion Jiriaya-sensei," someone said.
They look to see one of the Peins.
"Well if it isn't Nagato you're different but I recognize those eyes," Jiriaya said, "What happened to you three?"
"You don't need to know," Pein said, "You're just an outsider, remember?"
A/N: I decided to split the battle in half. By the way I showed the part of Naruto's search for Sasuke to show that they were distracted with Sasuke.
