Chapter 52

[Nagato P.O.V.]

"We can't let this go on any further! He has already stolen 2 Tailed Beasts under our noses." said Konan

"Tobi said that he will handle it."

"He has been saying that for the last 3 years, but nothing has come from it."

"What do you suggest?"

"We should just go and take him ou right now."

"I'm confident in taking him out if he is alone, but his village has become much stronger than before. Even the academy students are stronger than normal."

"How about you ask to meet him. You are still the village head so you could make up something to let him come here alone."

"Do you really think he'll be stupid enough to come here alone?"

"From what I heard he is really arrogant. He even went to Kumo alone and pissed off the Raikage."

"Fine. Tell him that I want to meet him and ask if he can come here alone. Just make up a reason yourself."

"I'll get it done."

She left.

'Naruto Uzumaki, you're just an obstacle in my path to world peace.'

1 day later]

*KNOCK*

*KNOCK*

"Come in."

The mail Shinobi came in.

"What is it?"

"I have a letter from Amegakure."

'Why would Nagato send me a letter?'

He gave me the letter and left. I opened it and started laughing.

"Hahahahaha."

'The Anbu must think that I'm crazy. This is definitely a trap, but I would like to talk to him.'

[2 days later]

I just entered Amegakure and I started walking towards the tallest building. Arriving there I started walking straight up the building. After arriving near the top I was able to enter through the balcony.

After entering I spotted a large table with chairs. I just sat at random seat when Konan and Yahiko entered the room.

"Thank you for coming all this way to see me." said Yahiko

"Huh? I didn't come for you, I came for the Village Head. Where is he?"

"I'm the village head."

"Stop lying, how can a dead guy be the Village Head?"

"I see, you know way too much."

"Well whatever, just sit down, and let us have a civil conversation."

They both looked at each other and nodded. They sat down.

"So what I'm getting from this is that I won't be leaving here without a fight."

They didn't say anything.

"Since I'm going to die anyway how about you answer some questions of mine. So what is your goal as the leader of the Akatsuki?"

"World peace."

"And how are you going to achieve that?"

"With force."

"Hahaha, with what force?"

"Are you underestimating me. You really are arrogant."

"Why would I take someone serious who only made it this far because of borrowed power."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, you don't know? Those eyes you're so proud of aren't yours. They were implanted into you for safekeeping."

"Do you think I'll believe?"

"I didn't ask you to believe me. But let's talk about something else. Do you want to join me?"

"You are funny."

"No, you are the funny one. You are being manipulated, but you don't even know."

"What are you talking about?"

"You are only being used. The position of the Akatsuki's leader doesn't belong to you. As long as you join me I promise to tell you everything you want to know."

"I'll never join you!"

"Let me just show you how stupid you are."

I disappeared.

*BAM*

*BAM*

*BAM*

*BAM*

*BAM*

*BAM*

6 white Zetsu's fell down dead.

"Why were those guys there?"

"I told you, you are being manipulated. If you join me we can strive for peace together. But it will go my way so no innocent deaths."

He looked at me for a long time.

"Follow me."

"Wait Nagato, you can't be serious."

"Don't worry Konan, nothing will happen to me."

He led me deep in the building. We entered a room and there I could see Nagato hanging in a contraption with the rest of the Six Paths of Pains around him.

"You look horrible and aren't you an Uzumaki? How the heck did you get yourself in this situation?"

"This power takes more out of me than you think."

"Well, that can easily be fixed if you join me."

"First tell me who is behind this all."

"Sure. You are being manipulated by Tobi. Tobi is being manipulated by Madara Uchiha. Madara Uchiha is being manipulated by Black Zetsu who is part of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki."

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yup."

"I'm such a fool, I was a disposable pawn from the beginning. Do you know why I got these eyes?"

"You were needed to revive Madara who is dead."

"Damn those bastards!"

"So are you going to join me or not."

"What is in it for you?"

"I get a strong subordinate."

"Such a simple reason, huh. Fine, I'll join you."

"Wait Nagato, you can't decide things so easily. What if he has been lying about everything?"

"Didn't you see those White Zetsu's?"

"But even then."

"Stop it Konan. You don't have to join him, but I will."

"I'll never leave your side."

"Are you two dating or something?"

"What!?"

"Hahahaha!"

I walked up to him.

"Those poles in your back are annoying. You should get rid of these six. I can't even understand how you are using your friend like this."

"I can't, my body is too weak. And Yahiko is helping us complete our goal."

"That's just stupid. Don't worry, I can fix your body. I'm taught by Tsunade Senju after all."

"If you can get my body to move fast and flexible I will forever be grateful."

'So this is what a student of Jiraiya is like. They always have that small innocent and soft spot that can never go away. They trust people way too easily.'

I walked up behind him.

"This will hurt, but you'll survive."

I grabbed a pole and pulled it out his back.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

"Why are you screaming like a little bitch. Man up and shut your mouth."

I grabbed another pole and pulled it out.

This time he didn't scream.

"This is much better. Now you'll have a chance with Konan. Just wait till I get your body to top shape and you'll be able to go on all night."

Konan blushed.

"Shut up and finish this quickly." said Nagato

"Hahaha, you don't need to be embarrassed. I'm always happy to help a brother out."

He didn't say anything. I continued pulling out the poles from his back. When I was done his back was filled with holes and he was losing a lot of blood. The Six Paths of Pain fell down.

I took out a stasis scroll with another bandit.

"Heal him."

"Yes sir."

<Kinjutsu: Healing Ninjutsu>

This Jutsu can heal someone completely and get their body to top shape. The only drawback is that the caster will die. But that is no problem for me.

He put his hands on his back and a couple of minutes later he fell down on the ground and Nagato was completely healed. He now looked like a normal person.

He tried to stand up on his feet, but he quickly fell down.

"You should rest a bit more. You haven't gotten used to your new body yet.

"Thank you so much."

"It was nothing."

I summoned a clone.

"This guy will take over for you as the Village Head. You can come to Konoha when you can stand on your own feet."

I placed two seals on them.

"You can use these seals to communicate with me. If you guys have nothing else to say I will get going now."

"Thank you once again and have a safe trip."

"Later."

I disappeared from there and appeared on the ground. I started running towards Konoha.

'Poor Obito, all his plans are going down the drain. Now that I have Nagato, there will be no way that he can complete his plans.'
