Father and Son: Awakening of a God.
Sasuke and Itachi were thrown into each other as they stood back to back.
Itachi: This isn't going well.
Sasuke: Yeah. They're already to much to handle.
Karma jumped down from a building.
Karma: What's wrong? Don't tell me you two are all out of strength.
Pain: Hmph. It's about time. I going to speak to the Hokage. Azure, you must take over for me.
Azure looked up from the building with a smirk.
Azure: Was that an order?
Pain: It was a request.
He shrugged before jumping down from the house landing on the ground.
Sasuke: 'Not good, even Itachi is worried about him.'
Pain leapt away leaving the four Shinobi.
Azure: Well, let's get the hard part over with.
Azure blitzed over to Sasuke and elbowing him in the stomach causing him to spit up blood. Itachi looked over at Sasuke before getting caught by a punch from Karma. Azure kicked Sasuke into the air and jumped up to follow him. Sasuke grabbed his sword and slashed at Azure only for him to disappear.
Azure: Behind you.
Sasuke turned around to be met by a punch to the face. Itachi wasn't faring any better as every time he thought he could hit her she burst into flames. Soon enough.
Itachi: 'Damn it I can't track her. Naruto, Ryu, you all need to get here before it's too late.'
Itachi's Mangekyo glowed even more as he began to summon his Armored Susanoo.
Sasuke: 'It'd be a good idea to do that.'
Sasuke began to glow in a purple chakra as he summoned his own Susanoo.
Azure: Armored Susanoo? Heh, it's almost comical that you think you can hurt us with those.
Karma: But since you two are so determined to die, I'll at least use some of my real power to end this.
She glowed in a red Chakra alarming Itachi.
Itachi: Sasuke, get ready!
He nodded before looking back at Karma.
Azure: You'll be able to do this you're own Karma. My help's just overkill.
Karma: Sure.
Her eyes glowed as she grew fox ears and a tail.
Karma disappeared from both of their lignite of sight shocking Itachi. She then reappeared behind them inside Sasuke's Susanoo. She had her fist out and swung it down at Sasuke.
TIME SKIP!!
Ryu had been gathering Nature Energy when his eyes shot wide open. Fenrir came out of a new hood he wore in a mini form.
Fenrir: What's wrong boy?
Ryu: I don't know, I just think something bad happened.
Fenrir: Well you acquired enough Nature Energy. Put it to use.
Kira: Ready Ryu?
He nodded as transformed standing up on top of Recede. Kira was on RJ and Naruto and Jiraiya were on toads.
Ryu: Ready.
They were all in Perfect Sage Mode as they were transported to where the hidden leaf should have been. However they only found a baron wasteland.
Jiraiya: What is going on here?
Naruto: We should've been taken to the hidden leaf shouldn't right?
Ryu: Uh oh. I have a feeling I know what's happened.
Kira: I think this IS the hidden leaf.
???: Correct.
The other Sage Toad Shima, or Ma came into Gamabunta. Ryu looked around and their suspicions were confirmed when they saw the Hokage Faces.
Ryu: Pain is responsible for this, isn't he?
Ryu was calm but his fist were clenched in anger.
???: Come on, you can't give Pain all the credit hot stuff.
???2: Yes. Everything else was our handy work.
They looked and saw Azure and Karma with the Paths of Pain behind them.
Ryu: So you're them huh? It's nice to finally see the monsters face to face.
Azure: Hm. Monsters huh? Nicest thing I've been called in a while.
Karma: Anyway, I thought you'd might want these.
She dropped the dead bodies of Itachi and Sasuke in front of them also winking at Ryu. Seeing that made Ryu's blood boil over though he still had a poker face on. Soon after, Tsunade had arrived onto the field tired.
Kira: Tsunade Sensei?
Tsunade: *Pant* *Pant* I, am the 5th Hokage.
Soon an Anbu member arrived beside her.
Tsunade: How far you trample upon the jewel, the dreams of our predecessors, I won't forgive you! I'll settle this now as Hokage!!
In an almost instantaneous movement, Ryu appeared in front of her. This surprised her most of all.
Azure: 'Fast, I almost lost sight of him.'
Ryu: Lady 5th, you need to get a far distance away.
Tsunade: Ryu! You can't expect me to go!
Pain: Now the time has come. The one's we are after are-
The Preta path ran in but before it could go any further, Ryu appeared in the air with his fist in the air. He threw the punch downwards as it hit the path completely shattering the ground. He soon mad his way back to where he was and glared with his Mangekyo on.
Ryu: Are finally in you're reach, right?
Pain: 'He was able to take down the Preta path in a single blow. And with such insane speed.
Kira: Listen to him Sensei, it's not gonna be safe for you here.
Naruto soon came down beside him. For a brief moment, she thought she had seen a blonde man with similar looks to both of them.
Naruto: There's no need for the leaf's Hokage to bother with these guys. You just sit back and sip some tea granny.
She looked at them worried but then nodded.
Tsunade: Please be careful.
Jiraiya: We won't have a choice against this threat.
Naruto: Gamakichi, get her to safety.
He grabbed her and jumped off leaving them there. In the distance Sakura Suigetsu Kai and Mei were looking at the large puff of smoke with a Hyuga member there.
Kai: I can't see what happened.
Hyuga: It's unreal. The others got there and Ryu is moving at speeds way faster than I can see. He took down a Pain with a single punch!
Sakura: Yeah that sounds like him.
Mei: Hold, how many paths are there?
Hyuga: Let's see. One, two three, four, five. There are five.
Suigetsu: That means Haku defeated the Asura path!
Sakura: But where is she then?
Ryu: Guys, I need you to deal with the Path's of Pain first. Once you're done I'll need back up. For now, these two are all mine.
He flashed in front of Karma punching her in the stomach and sending her flying back.
Karma: 'THAT'S SOME RIDICULOUS STRENGTH!'
She was sent flying into destroyed ruble of the village. Azure appeared beside her.
Azure: Guy has a temper on him.
Karma: Yup.
She rose up with Lion ears and a tail sprouting from Azure's head. Without a second thought they both ran towards Ryu. His eyes glowed as he flew towards them. Azure sent a punch at him as well as he dodged and did a one inch punch to his stomach sending him flying back.
Azure: 'Gr, that might've cracked a rib a bit.'
He flipped himself right side up and slid on the ground with sparks coming off his feet. With the others fighting Pain Kira was going head to head with the Deva Path.
Pain: What makes you think that you can defeat me now when you couldn't before.
Kira: Because now you don't have anyone else to help you.
Blood came from her eye as Amaterasu flames shot at Pain. His eyes widened at this as he used an Almighty Push to stop it. Kira seeing her chance used Body Flicker and made her way in front of the Deva path punching him right in the gut making him spit out blood. He slid back and looked up at Kira.
Pain: How did you know?
Kira: Show too many of you're tricks and my Sharingan will be able to find the weakness. 5 seconds is the cool down.
Recede and the Toads where taking care of the Animal path summons.
Gamabunta: It's been a while since we fought back to back like this, Eh Recede?
Recede: Yeah, I feel like I'm a young wolf again, still in my prime.
The continued fighting the Animal Path Summons as Naruto and Jiraiya were fighting the other pains as Jiraiya created a Rasengan in his hands.
Jiraiya: NARUTO!!
Naruto instantly knowing what Jiraiya planned and created three shadow clones forming a Rasenshuriken!
Naruto: Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!!
Jiraiya's Rasengan Slowly turned red and grew larger with fire coming from it.
Jiraiya: Great Flame Rasengan!!
They threw the Jutsu's at the Human and Animal Path's with both moving away. Both Jutsu expanded and merged as a massive inferno engulfed the Pains destroying them.
Naruto: Great, now only 3 more!
Jiraiya: Naruto watch out!!
Naruto turned around and was pinned by the Preta path. Ryu turned seeing this and panicked.
Ryu: Crap!!
He was about to go but was caught by a punch to the face from Azure.
Azure: Never let you're guard down Lone Wolf.
Ryu spat out blood before looking at both of them. Soon Naruto overloaded the Preta path with Nature Energy turning him into a road statue.
Ryu: 'Good, he's ok.'
Karma: Looks like these forms just won't cut it.
Shadow: Get ready Ryu.
Ryu: 'Shadow? You're still here?'
Shadow: Later, they're going to release the true forms.
Ryu: True forms?
Azure: I guess it's common courtesy to give the names of our beast as well. Mine is Shisa.
Karma: And mine Kistune.
The let out burst of Chakra as Ryu held his hand onto the ground. Kira seeing this had a mini panic attack.
Kira: 'Not good!!'
Shonen: It's exactly like two years ago.
Ryu dug his feat into the ground weaving hand signs.
Ryu: Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bomb!!
He shot the fire dragons at the pair creating an explosion.
Ryu: That shoulda got em.
Kira: No...
Jiraiya: What in the world-
Naruto got up out of Sage Mode.
Naruto: Is that?
They both walked out with more animalistic features. Azure's hair had gone from white to more yellow as he had hair on his arms with a tail, seeming to look like a Lion. Karma however seemed to take of of a Fox rout with 5 bushy tails.
Ryu: Is that what I was like?
Kira: No, you were a complete wolf man.
Azure: Heh, figures, you were only able to access the premature form. This is the real deal.
Ryu: Well then screw it, just gonna have to get this done faster.
Fenrir: Ryu-
Ryu: I know. You don't have to say it.
He rushed towards the two and swiped at Azure with his machete but this time he dodged. He threw a punch at Ryu with him barely blocking but flinching.
Ryu: 'Woah! That was bad!!'
Karma came along and punched him across the face sending him flying.
Kira: 'He can't win 2 on 1! I have to help him!'
She tried running out slowly began to get pulled back. She turned her head and saw he was headed straight towards the Deva path who had a Chakra Rod stuck out to her.
Pain: You will know Pain.
Kira: 'Well this isn't ending well.'
Soon she felt the Sage Chakra leaving her deadpanning.
Kira: 'Oh that's just-'
Naruto: KIRA!!!
Jiraiya: NO!!!
Jiraiya tried to run at her but was blind sided by the Naraka path getting stabbed through the heart.
Naruto: PERVY SAGE!!!
ELSEWHERE!!
Ryu was managing to keep up with the two's coordinated attacks still getting hit but also getting his own hits off.
Karma: 'I still can't believe he can do this well.'
Azure: 'Run out of that Sage Energy kid. That's when you're all washed up.'
Ryu: 'Shadow, any time you wanna help me out that'd be great!!'
Shadow: NOT EVEN I CAN HELP RIGHT NOW!! I wouldn't be able to just give you power even if I tried! They worked for God knows how long to obtain this strength!
Karma: He's right you know. It took 5 years to fully master this form.
Ryu: STAY OUT OF THIS!!
He threw a Kunai past them and teleported to it. He immediately formed a Ricochet Rasengan in his hands as it grew bigger.
Ryu: Sage Art: GIANT RICOCHET RASENGAN!
He threw it at them with the two separating apart. That's when he moved his fingers around with the ball moving towards Karma.
Karma: 'He can manipulate it's movements?'
The ball nearly hit her but she burst into flames. That didn't stop Ryu from switching it to Azure who was hit by the full force of the attack sending him flying into a few rocks. He got up clutching his stomach.
Azure: Well *Cough* That's something I should be wary of. Felt like I got a sledgehammer dropped on me.
Ryu: 'That's the best I could do?! That attack has gone straight through a mountain before!!'
Fenrir: Ryu, bad news.
Ryu: Oh God what-
Ryu felt his form reverting as he dropped to his knee.
Ryu: Great, of all the times for Sage Mode to run out now would be it.
Azure: So that's was you actually look like. Before I assumed you were using Beast Chakra, and I was right. You look like you're 17.
Ryu said nothing as he grabbed a Flying Raijin Kunai flinging it at Karma who dodged it. Immediately he shot Fire Dragons into the air.
Karma: I see what you're getting at. Sorry, but no. You won't get the chance to use that Vortex Claw of yours.
They both appeared in front of him and both punched him. He later flat on the ground in his stomach and tried to will himself up.
Ryu: The hell?!!
Azure: Sorry, but my paralysis Jutsu has you stuck. But just for good measure.
He snapped his fingers with rods of lightning going in Ryu.
Ryu: 'OH COME ON!!'
Fenrir reverted to his original size and guarded Ryu.
Fenrir: You will not touch this boy!!
Ryu: Fenrir, stop!!
Karma: The great Wolf God. I wondered why there was a cub in that hood of yours.
Fenrir: I'd be a disgrace if I couldn't save you Ryu. To be honest, this last week may have been the best in my life.
The rain started to fall with Ryu looking to Fenrir.
Azure: Well if you want to die protecting someone I suppose it'd be at least right to honor that wish.
Azure weaved hand signs with thunder coming from the air.
Azure: Beast Art: Thunder Storm Crush!
Bolts of lightning came down onto Fenrir making him howl in pain. He dropped to the ground unmoving.
Ryu: Damn you!
Azure: It was bound to happen. The old dog had hit his limit a while ago. And now for you.
Azure was about to weave more hand signs but was stopped when two ice dragons crashed to the ground. They barely dodged with Ryu recognizing the Jutsu.
Ryu: No...
He looked up and saw Haku over him.
Ryu: Haku what are you doing?!!
Haku: Saving you! Get used to it!
Karma: Oh that's just hilarious. You think you're in any condition to save anyone?
Haku: No, but I'll give it a damn good shot!!
She made clones and Ice Mirrors throwing needles at them with Ryu trying to force his way up.
Ryu: 'MOVE BODY!! FUCKING MOVE!!!!'
The real Haku had knelt down and tried to pull out the rods barely pulling out one.
Ryu: Haku get out of here now!!
Haku weekly smiled as she pulled out the next one.
Haku: You know I can't do that Ryu.
Tears fell from her eyes as she said that.
Ryu: Haku please!!
The mirrors shattered behind them as Karma and Azure got out.
Karma: Nice try, but no.
Karma appeared in front of them with Haku grabbing Ryu's blade with one hand and swinging it at Azure. She dodged the blade as she turned and kicked the third rod out.
Haku: 'Just one-'
Azure having played enough games elbowed her in the stomach making her spit out blood.
Haku: 'Ok, definitely shattered a few ribs.'
She collapsed onto the ground with Ryu angrily trying to force himself up even biting his tongue to jumpstart his body with pain. Haku looked at Ryu with a smile once again.
Haku: Well, at least I can see you before I die... I love you Ryu. You're my everything. Please don't forget that.
That was all she said before her body went limp. Ryu's eyes slowly widened seeing this.
Azure: Yet one more person, you couldn't save.
In the distance they felt a surge of Chakra.
Karma: That must be the nine tails.
Ryu: YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryu shot up with unbridled rage and grabbed Azure by the face flinging him away.
Azure: 'How does he still have so much strength?!'
Karma tried to attack him but failed as he grabbed her arm snapping it like a toothpick.
Ryu: GRAAAAAAAH!!!!
He threw her with Azure knocking her into him. He threw a Kunai and got the them with a Wolves Claw at the ready. Before he could attack he was hit by a red claw. They all saw it was Naruto in a Six Tailed cloak.
Ryu: 'I WANTED ONE FUCKING THING!!!'
Shadow: Well, Ryu cursing this much, or at all actually is probably the sign of the end.
Shojo: 'I just accept it at this point.'
Azure and Karma stood over Ryu who was bloodied and battered.
Azure: *Pant* To think a kid that's even younger than the two of us *Pant* Could actually nearly kill us both at once.
The nearly unconscious Ryu looked over to the bodies of Kira Jiraiya and even Hinata on the floor while Naruto was in a 6 Tailed Cloak.
Ryu: 'Well my girlfriends dead, my first sensei is dead, my SISTER'S dead, Hinata who was Naruto's crush is dead, and HE'S gone berserk from it. *Sigh* This is about the worst, and most likely LAST day of my life.'
Shojo: Ryu, I'm sorry.
Barely unable to speak he thought his words to her.
Ryu: 'Don't be. Being honest this life wasn't the happiest, but I wouldn't have it any other way.'
Karma: Sorry cutie, but this is the end of the line. Maybe if things were different... The three of us could've been friends.
Azure grabbed Ryu's Mammoth Blade making the latter internally deadpan.
Ryu: 'Oh great, that's just salt on the wound.'
Azure: Any last words?
Ryu using the last bit of strength he had left smirked.
Ryu: See you in hell.
Azure: Well said.
He stabbed it through his heart with the rest of Ryu's color leaving his face.
Karma: He's the toughest opponent we'll ever face.
Azure: Almost beat us too. Even when we were in these forms. The fact the two of us survived was a pure fluke.
ELSEWHERE!!
Ryu was floating in a void unmoving. The difference between every time before was that this one was white.
Ryu: Huh. So this is what really being dead is like huh? It's not all that bad. Just wish I wasn't the only one here.
???: Uhhhhh Ryu?
Ryu recognizing that voice instantly shot up.
Ryu: SHOJO?!!
Shojo: Hi.
Ryu: Wait a minute you shouldn't be here! After death we're supposed to be separated right?!
Shojo: I mean that's be true if we were actually dead. I think I've been in this place before. It must be you're mind scape, but different.
???: I know you're not giving up.
Ryu heard another voice familiar to him.
Ryu: Oh now you speak up Shadow.
He turned around and saw Shadow but with another person standing beside him. That person looked almost exactly like Ryu with blonde spiky hair with a jacket. That man was the Fourth Hokage.
Ryu: ...Dad?
He smiled at him.
Minato: Hello Ryu.
Hearing those words he slowly had tears fall from his eyes.
Ryu: You... How...
He walked towards Ryu and hugged him.
Minato: I can't believe that you grew up to be such a capable young man.
He hugged Minato back letting the tears flow freely. They hugged for what seemed like minutes before breaking apart.
Ryu: How is this happening? What's going on?!
Minato: Well, you know you just got stabbed right?
Ryu: Yeah from my own sword, not the most dignified ending.
Minato: Well, you're not actually dead. Just in a sort of coma.
Ryu: What?
Minato: Come now, you didn't forget how you healed from taking Kakashi's Chidori to your heart.
Ryu: Y-You know?
Minato: My spirit was watching you the entire time son. You and your siblings.
Ryu: Wait, Siblings as in Plural? I have another one?
Minato: Oh, you never knew. But anyway, you need to keep living. The reason Shadow exist is because I knew before anyone else that Shojo would be in you. And there was a good part you just weren't ready for.
Shadow: So he used a Jutsu to separate the power SHE had but I ended up taking YOUR form, ending up with a bit of the personality you would've had.
Ryu: Wait you lost me.
Minato: Well, I should probably get to him soon too. I think he's having a pretty big crisis cause of the Nine Tails.
Shojo: No way in hell...
Ryu: NARUTO IS MY BROTHER?!!!
Minato: You guessed it. Take care my boy. Just know that I'll always be watching over you.
Minato hugged him once again as Ryu hugged back before disappearing.
Shadow: Well, you know the truth now.
Ryu: Ok then, how am I gonna beat them?
Shadow: Well, I have one way.
Shojo appeared physically having an angry look. She marched over to Shadow and shook him by the collar furiously.
Shojo: YOU SAID THAT YOU COULDN'T DO ANYTHING!!
Shadow: CHILL OUT!! I DIDN'T SAY IT BEFORE CAUSE THERE'D BE A COST!!
She let go of him being pulled back by Ryu.
Ryu: How can someone so tiny have such a presence?
Shojo: Hey!
Shadow: Ignoring the pissed off wolf, there is one way.
Ryu: Well, I'll die if I don't so screw the risk let's do it.
Shadow: There's no risk for you. It's more of me.
Ryu: What is it?
Shadow: If I do this, then it means I cease to exist as I am now.
Both Ryu and Shojo were taken aback by this.
Shojo: Oh... Well now I feel kinda-
Shadow: It's fine. The two of us were only ever meant to be one person. I technically shouldn't have existed.
Ryu: Still, in a way you're still your own man.
Shadow: I know. And this is what I want.
Ryu: Well hell. Before you seemed like an ass but now...
Shadow: Hey, at the end of the day I am you.
He held out his fist with a smirk.
Shadow: Nice knowing, and being you Ryu.
Ryu smiled as he returned they fist bumped.
Ryu: Yeah. Thanks Shadow.
He gave a genuine smile as a golden light shined around him as he disappeared. Soon the light went into Ryu as his eyes glowed.
OUTSIDE!!
Azure and Karma looked up as they saw Naruto had dawned an appearance almost like the Nine Tails but only having 8 and skin revealed. He was trapped in a massive orb of stones from the surroundings.
Azure: Planetary Devastation. It's quite possibly the Ultimate Jutsu.
Karma: Exactly. I'm not sure if I could escape that.
Soon the saw the Eight Tails disappear as Naruto stood on the massive mass.
Pain: What?
Azure: Sure about that?
Right then and there they felt a large surge of Chakra. Naruto looking down from the orb smirked.
Naruto: I knew he wouldn't die. Nice to see you're resilient as ever Ryu.
He slowly stood up pulling the massive sword out of his chest chuckling.
Azure: What are you?! How are you so durable?!!
He planted his feet firmly on the ground looking up with his eyes completely changed.
Ryu: Cause I wasn't made in fucking China bitch.
They all looked in complete shock.
Azure: I'm dreaming...
Pain: Rinnegan?!!
Naruto: Woah, they look different than Pain's. Almost like the Sharingan.
Azure: No seriously what the living hell are you?! Not even Beast Warriors should be able to heal from a heart blow! How are you alive?!
Ryu: Fuck you that's how.
Karma hearing this slightly blushed.
Karma: 'Just went from cute, to hot.'
Naruto: Uh oh, he's pissed.
Ryu: So, let's go over this. Pain killed Jiraiya and Kira, you killed Sasuke and Itachi, and you killed Fenrir and Haku.
Azure: 'Oh I don't like where this is going.'
Ryu: You shouldn't. Now, how does he do it?
He appeared in between Azure and Karma with his hands out.
Ryu: Almighty Push was it?
Instantly the two were pushed far away from him.
Karma: That was worse than Pain's!
She saw a Kunai got past her before deadpanning.
Karma: 'This'll hurt.'
He appeared behind Karma with two Rasengan's ready.
Ryu: You forgot your water wings.
Shojo: Well then.
Ryu: RASENGAN!!!
He slammed the Jutsu into her back making her cough up blood. Soon he appeared behind Azure forcing the other one in his back. They slammed into each other with the balls colliding creating an explosion.
Ryu: Easy.
Ryu looked at Naruto firing clones at Pain with him dodging. Hey ran at Pain with his hand out.
Pain: 'No!' Almighty Push!
Ryu: Universal Pull!!
He grabbed onto Pain still onto him.
Ryu: Our Jutsu's canceled out. DO IT NOW NARUTO!!
Naruto nodded and created Shadow Clones creating a Rasengan.
Pain: WHY DON'T GIVE UP?!!
Naruto: Why don't you give up-
Ryu: On trying to make US-
Ryu&Naruto: GIVE UP!!!
Naruto was flung forward by his Shadow Clones and landed the Rasengan on Pain as Ryu let Pain go flying. He went spiraling into a Boulder completely stopping.
Naruto: *Pant* *Pant* We did it.
Ryu: Yeah.
Naruto looked at Ryu who was barely scathed deadpanning.
Naruto: And you look like you're still ready to go while I'm exhausted.
Ryu: Looks like the roles where reversed, Eh bro?
Naruto: Wait, so he really did talk to you?
Ryu: Yup. It's weird, Jiraiya always did say we looked alike.
Naruto: Haha! Yeah! I don't believe you didn't figure it out!
Ryu: Now then.
He looked at Karma and Azure on the ground.
Azure: 'A guy who's so strong, yet weak enough to shed tears for a friend.'
Karma: 'I THINK I'M IN LOVE!!'
Ryu: Ok I'm just gonna ignore that second thing. But just because I cry, doesn't mean I'm weak in any way. It's just the opposite.
Azure looked up at him a bit annoyed.
Azure: Now who's in who's thoughts? What are you a mind reader?
Ryu: I don't know myself at this point. Anyway, point us to the real body.
Azure: And why would we do that?
Ryu looked with an angry smirk.
Ryu: Cause if not I'll gouge out your eyes and make you look at each other.
They both shivered at this.
Naruto: GEEZ MAN!! Since when did you do that?!!
Ryu: Yeah I've gotta explain to you what happened later.
Karma: *Sigh* Five miles ahead.
He took a Flying Raijin Kunai and threw it picking up their bodies. They all teleported as Ryu dragged the bodies of Azure and Karma over his shoulders the rest of the way.
Naruto: Man the Rinnegan sure is something. You're not even breaking a sweat now.
Ryu: I guess.
Karma: You know, we'll been fine to walk for a while.
Naruto: Like we'll let you-
Ryu: Sure why not.
He dropped both of them flabbergasting Naruto.
Naruto: OH COME ON MAN!!
Ryu: They can't do anything.
They all walked to a paper tree. Ryu rose his fist and punched through it where they saw the Akatsuki member Konan beside a man with red hair who looked to be restricted and stabbed with multiple chakra rods. She immediately jumped in front of him ready to fight.
???: Konan, stay out of this.
Konan: But-
Naruto: So you're the real Pain huh?
Ryu: No that's not his name is it? You're Nagato, Nagato Uzumaki aren't you?
Nagato: So the peace makers finally stumble in at last.
There was a bit of silence as Ryu clenched his fist.
Nagato: Your eyes, they somehow evolved into Rinnegan. Tell me, do you hate me now? Do you wish to exact revenge on me?
Ryu stood looking at him while Naruto had his fist clenched in anger. Azure and Karma looked at him as he had obvious fury around him. Soon they felt it wash away completely.
Naruto: That'd only prove you're point, but right now, I really do feel like doing something like that.
Nagato shot a Chakra rod at Naruto but it was easily caught and snapped in two by Ryu.
Ryu: And that sure as hell wouldn't fly with Jiraiya. This is the exact opposite thing that he wanted.
Naruto: Pervy Sage said... He truly believed that the day would come where everyone would understand one another. Back then I barely even got it, but I realize now that things are never that simple.
Azure and Karma didn't dare to move knowing that it could very well cost them their lives.
Ryu: Jiraiya wanted peace in the world. He didn't want what you brought. It was only destruction and pain. What he wanted was a world where there wasn't even fighting. A simple dream. And Kira, she wanted the same thing. She just wanted to have a peaceful life, nothing more than that.
Nagato: But those are just empty words right now. All you really want to do is exact you own personal revenge!
Ryu: You know, once upon a time, I probably would have.
Nagato: What?
PLAY THE MUSIC RIGHT NOW!!
Ryu: Not too long ago I exacted a revenge I wanted for over half my life. And for a while it felt good. But after a while, I realized that it only provided temporary relief. And after unlocking my Rinnegan, I feel like I understand more than ever. Peace could never last. Humans are inherently evil, eventually a threat would come up again.
They all looked at him as he looked up.
Ryu: But call me an idiot, cause I'll say I'm gonna be there to keep what peace there could be.
They were all shocked hearing those words come from his mouth.
Ryu: Yeah, I know it sounds like I'm a naive idiot, but if that's what you wanna think then go ahead! But if there's truly such a thing as peace in this world, then I'll find it!! I'll never stop looking!
Naruto pulled out a book and held it up to them.
Nagato: You... But that's...
Ryu: Words from this book. The very first novel that Pervy Sage ever wrote. He was seriously trying to save the world with this message.
Naruto: And in the back, he wrote about his student that gave him the inspiration. That students was you Nagato. And for those reasons, we chose to believe him, and follow what he taught us.
Ryu: There were two hero's in that novel. One was an outgoing guy who didn't care what others thought, and the other was a quiet kid that may have been silent, but he was exactly like that brother of his.
Naruto: They're names are Naruto and Ryu!
There was another silence before Ryu spoke once more.
Ryu: And I'm sure we'll stay on that path. After all we've had of fair share of pain. We won't let it change us now. Whatever kind of pain that comes along I'll keep walking. Cause that's who I am.
He looked up to Nagato.
Ryu: We're sibling students, so you should at least be able to understand us a little.
Nagato: ... We bare the same eyes, yet our views are completely different. You both remind me of myself when I was younger.
He slipped his hands out of white bonded him and preformed a hand sign.
Konan: Nagato don't! You won't be able to go on if you use that Jutsu!
Nagato: As you believed Jiraiya, I will believe in the two of you.
Ryu: What Jutsu is that?
Azure: Gedo Art if Rinne Rebirth.
Karma: It'll revive everyone at the Village, but with the levels of Chakra Nagato has now...
Azure: He'll die...
Ryu: Wait there has to be-
Nagato: Let me do this. It's what I have to do.
Ryu looked at Nagato before relenting and nodding his head. Soon his hair began to turn white. Soon Ryu closed his eyes and sensed that the life in the Leaf Village started to grow.
Ryu: It worked...
Nagato went even paler before smirking.
Nagato: The parallels between you two and that book, it almost feels as if someone set all up. Like it was all... The work of an actual God.
The tree began to disperse leaving them in the open. Konan soon began to cover his dead body in paper as Azure grabbed it over his shoulder.
Azure: ... Thanks... Nagato...
Images flashed in both his and Karma's minds as a young Nagato and Konan held their hands.
Naruto: There's not much of the other paths...
Azure: You made sure of that.
Ryu: So, what do you three plan to do now? If you still plan on being in the Akatsuki, then we have no choice but to still be enemies.
Konan: No.
Azure: The only reason we joined was since Konan and Nagato asked.
Karma: I think it's safer, to leave their dreams in you're hands. You two have inherited their wills as well.
Ryu turned around and looked into the sky.
Ryu: Our names. The guts to never give up, and now greater Pain. That's what we've inherited from our master and Sibling-Student.
Konan held out her hand as a bouquet of paper flowers formed.
Konan: This time I wish, that you both will be the blossoms of hope that will never wilt away.
They both smiled as Naruto grabbed onto Ryu's arm.
Ryu: You could say goodbye one last time Konan.
Konan: Well, I don't think it will be the final time we meet. But tell him I said hello anyway.
Ryu shrugged as he teleported with Naruto into the village. They were greeted by everyone who had died fighting.
Ryu: Yo.
Shojo: Oh Jesus Christ.
Naruto: You miss us?
They were all shocked to see the pair as everyone began cheering. They saw Jiraiya and Kira in the front smiling.
Kira: Well death sure didn't last too long.
Shonen: Indeed, I'm just glad I made it back to you in time.
Ryu still took in the cheers of every villager slightly surprised.
???: Surprised? It's all for your returns.
He turned and saw Haku with tears falling from his eyes.
Ryu: Haku...
Haku: I'm here.
He immediately grabbed her in a hug tightly.
Ryu: Don't ever do that to me again.
Haku: Only if you promise to do the same.
It felt like they were the only people around for miles for a moment to him before they let go.
Haku: Y-Your eyes...
Ryu: Yeah, a lot has happened.
Shojo: Things have changed, huh Ryu?
Ryu: 'Yeah. It doesn't even feel like a year ago that the people in the village barely cared that I existed and hated me. It feels so different for them to be happy I'm alive.'
Shojo: I guess your good karma finally came huh?
Ryu looked into the air and smiled as he saw Minato watching him from above.
Ryu: Yeah, I guess it did.
Both Sasuke and Itachi appeared behind them.
Ryu: Good to see you two are fine too.
They both picked Ryu and Naruto up.
Ryu: Guys I swear to-
She threw them into the crowd as they juggled Ryu and Naruto in the air as they both laughed.
