Authors note: welcome to this idea that I hade some time. I just thought that this would be a cool story so I posted this first chapter to see how people react to it. If it's good I will continue, if it isn't I will continue whenever... Probably on a regular unregulated time base. So yeah enjoy

oh, by the way I'm German, I just like to write in English, so there might be some ( many) mistake in grammar here and there ... Enjoy!

All sound around Nagato simply stopped. He tried to think about what just happened but his mind just slowly adjusted to the horror that destroyed his world. The only sound he could hear was something like a whimper close to his ear.

What did happen? Konan, Yahiko, and himself were to meet Hanzo to negotiate a peace treaty to ensure the safety of the hidden rain village. They arrived and then there was an explosion, an ambush. Hanzo betrayed them. There were rain and leave ninjas, they teamed up and planed to take out the Akatsuki

Konan was captured and was held hostage by Hanzo. He offered them to save Konan, Nagato just had to do something. What was that again? He was still frozen In place, his brain still trying to gasp the situation. The whimper turned into a caught and Nagato started to realize what just happened.

That's right, Hanzo offered Nagato to save Konan. All he had to do was to kill his best friend. He had grabbed the Kunai and turned to Yahiko, wanting to ask what they should do now. But before he could even say anything Yahiko plunged himself into the Kunai

Finally Nagato realized what happened, he could hear Yahiko's breath next to his ears. Nagato could feel the blood on his hand, like he could feel the blood that dropped out of Yahiko's mouth onto his shoulder. Tears started to form in Nagato's eyes after realizing that he just killed his best friend. He could hear a little chuckle next to his ear. "Nagato… If you just keep crying nothing will happen… Just like the rain. How many times do I... Need to say that before...you memories that?" Nagato tuned his head to his best friend and wanted to say something but couldn't finde the right words.

"Listen Nagato...I don't have...much time so answer me this...what did I always say...when somebody asked...me how I would save us and...stop the war?" Nagato just started at Yahiko as he asked that simple question." You always said that by feeling the same pain and shedding the same tears we can get closer to the real world." Yahiko left out a nother laugh. "That's correct... But now listen closely... My time is almost over...and with my last breath I give... You the title of head of the...Akatsuki organization. Find people with pain in there ...heart and...save them...together with this world. Promise me...Nagato."

Nagato nodded his head while the rain ran down his face together with Nagato's tear which slowly rolled out of his eyes."I-I promise." Yahiko smiled."You and Konan… you've gotta stay alive somehow… You're… the saviour of… the world… You… can… bring… real-" with his last words Yahiko's lifeless body slipped away from Nagato shoulder and landed in the dirt.

Nagato just stood there the sounds around him slowly started to come back. First the sound of the rain that fell on ground, then the sound of Konan crying and finally Hanzo's order to kill him.

Without even noticing it Nagato moved his arm and create a shield to protect himself from the incoming Kunai which were hurled at his location. Everyone was surprised by this, nobody knew what kind of power awakened in Nagato this moment. The power of the sage of six paths.

Before anybody could get over the shock of the boys power, Nagato already rushed towards Hanzo and attempted to attack him. Hanzo quickly dogged out of the way and caught a glimpse of Nagato's Rinegan. The ruler of the hidden rain village realized that Nagato's attack wasn't aimed to harm him, but to separate him from Konan.

Hanzo wouldn't let them get away, with quick hand signs he summoned paper bombs which wrapped around Nagato's legs. "Fire style:

Nagato was caught in the explosion while holding Konan in his arm. Miraculously Nagato landed next to Yahiko's body with and set Konan down who appeared to be not badly damaged by the explosion, not like Nagato's legs which don't appear to be even fully operational.

Hanzo looked at the Rinegan user. "I'm impressed. I didn't believe I would ever see such rare eyes. They will do a great service in the war, as soon as I remove them from you." Hanzo snapped his fingers which was the order for the ninjas to attack.

Konan looked at Yahiko's body, still shocked by his death and tears in her eyes and then back to Nagato who had pure rage and hatred in his eyes while standing on badly mangled legs. The ninjas were coming closer." Nagato! We have to flee, there is no way we could fight them all!"

"No" Nagato summoned tow chakra rods out of his palms and stabbed them into his legs. The chakra started to flow into his legs and while they hurt like hell, at least he could move them by using his chakra."they are all dead." Without a warning Nagato sprinted towards the incoming enemy.

The first ninja tried to slash him with his sword but that attempt was easily Countered was responded with skull shattering punch in the face. They all tried to attack Nagato, but there fatal error was to underestimate their enemy. It was just one and there leader ordered them to kill him without destroying the eyes.

Every attempt to hurt Nagato was futile. He countered all attacks and kill them one by one. Some got there necks snapped, others got there attacks re-directed to one of there ally's. Nagato grabbed one of them by the face and slammed him on the ground. While Nagato's hand was on the poor ninjas face, other ninjas saw there chance and rushed him. Nagato didn't move, he simply responded with." Almighty push!" The ninjas around him were brutally pushed away while the ninja below him was reduced to pile of squashed meat.

Nagato was covered in blood while the ninjas all started at him like there seeing a monster. " what the hell is he!?" One of the shouted. Nagato raised his Hands which transformed into rocket launchers." Die...DIE!" Nagato pushed his chakra to the limit and fired a giant wave of missiles at the enemies.

After the screaming and the explosions ended the sound of the rain was again all that one could hear.

Nagato slowly turned towards Konan wand walked silently towards here. She was holding Yahiko's body with tears in here eyes. When Nagato reached her she looked up to him. " Nagato... What are we going to do now?" Nagato just looked at his dead best friend not knowing the answer. Were Yahiko here he would of had a plan, he always did. But what now? He gave Nagato his final wish, to save the world. But how? " Konan...I-"

Konan interrupted him." NAGATO BEHIND YOU!" Nagato quickly turned around, but he was to slow. His chakra was nearly gone and the chakra rodes lost there control over Nagato's legs. The only thing that Nagato saw was Hanzo, before he slashed him with his little scythe. Nagato landed on his back with a gushing wound on his chest. Konan quickly held him and used some paper to stop Nagato's bleeding.

" if you hadn't used up all of your chakra to kill all my men, you might of hade a chance against me. No worries, you're eyes will replace them just fine." Hanzo said while looking down at Nagato who was held by Konan. The paper user pulled out a Kunai and held it In front of them." Don't come any closer." You could here the venom in here voice. Nagato looked up to Konan." Konan. Get out of here... I promised Yahiko that... You'll live." Konan didn't move, she kept here eyes looked on the murderer of there best friend." No way, if you die I would be all alone in this world. I can't bare the thought of that, a world without any one of you."

Hanzo rolled his eyes." Enough with this. Time to die." Hanzo launched at Nagato and Konan with both of them staring him directly in the face, awaiting there end.

Before Hanzo got close to them however, they all herd something from behind Nagato and Konan." Water style: shark bomb just!" Hanzo was hit by a incoming shark made out of water and was launched away from his tow targets.

Hanzo, Konan and Nagato looked all at the caster of that jutsu. It was a tall man who had blue skin and traits of a shark he wore the hidden mist shinobi armor and a bandaged sword on his back. " Nagato and Konan just started at there supposedly ally. " who ...are you?" Nagato asked the strangely colored man. Before he could answer, Hanzo answers for him." Kisame hoshiegaki. One of the seven swordsman of the mist, the notorious monster of the mist and S classed criminal." Kisame looked at Konan and Nagato and shrugged his shoulders." That about sums it up."

" what dose someone like you want here?" Hanzo said clear angered by Kisame's arrival. " well you see, some time ago I was wandering around doing what s class criminals do when a strange masked man appeared before me. He said that I could change the world and that I could find my place and purpose. All I had to do was to join the Akatsuki and help to complete there task of world peace."

Nagato and Konan recognized the person he was talking about. The masked man who claimed to be madara uchiha and presented Yahiko Konan and him this 'idea to ensure peace' . Yahiko didn't like him from the start and after madara left he advised Konan and Nagato to stay away from him.

"Enough with this annoying chit chat! Kisame hoshiegaki, this is a fair warning, leave immediately. Those eyes are mine" Hanzo yelled and prepared to fight. Kisame looked over to Nagato and noticed his eyes. " those are quite peculiar eyes and normally I wouldn't care what you do and don't. But sadly I haven't decided if I want to join him, I want to here his opinion on this world peace idea before I decided."

Nagato world started to go dark. He lost to much blood from the fight and Hanzo's last attack. The last thing he saw before blacking out was Kisame grabbing his sword while charging at Hanzo and Konan's worried expression while calling his name.

Nagato slowly woke up, he wasn't able to see anything but he could feel the presence of others. He could feel that he laid on his back, however he couldn't feel his legs. His eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness which reviled that in a small wooden hut that had only a candle as its light source. Next to his bed was Konan sitting on a chair and seemingly asleep. Across the room was Kisame leaning against the wall, arms crossed and staring out the window into the rainy night while his sword was leaning against the wall next to him.

One close inspection Nagato saw that Kisame's clothe were tattered and were a bit blooded. Judging by the fact that Kisame had some bandages, not all of the blood was Hanzo's.

Looking over to the other side of the room, Nagato spotted another bead. On it was a body that was covered by a blanket. Nagato quickly realized that it was Yahiko underneath that blanket. He tried to sit up but pain shot from his legs that prevent him from doing so and made him grunt a bit.

" I wouldn't do that if I were you." Nagato looked up and saw that Kisame was looking back at him." Konan has been watching over you for a great amount of time, until she finally fell asleep." Kisame spoke with a silent tone.

Nagato looked at Konan before looking back at Kisame. " what happened?"

" well, me and Hanzo had a bit of a fight. The fight was quite intense until Konan decided to help me. After that it was pretty much one sided, soon Hanzo ran away. I guess in the end he valued his own life more then to acquire your eyes. I carried you and ...you're friend until we found this abandoned hut. Ever since then she has treated your wounds and watched over you." Kisame looked over to Yahiko's body." I know it doesn't help much, but I am sorry for your loss."

Nagato looked down. " if it weren't for you I wouldn't be able to grant his final wish. Now at least half of it could be granted."

Kisame tilted his head." Half?"

Nagato laugh." He wished that Konan and myself lived and that I carrie out his dream of world peace."

Kisame grinned." I'm sure you will come up with something."

Nagato looked up." Even if my legs would work, I haven't got the slightest plan on how to achieve peace."

"I might help with that."

Both Nagato and Kisame jumped by the sound of a voice that seemingly came out of nowhere. Even Konan woke up by the sudden tension in the air. A moment later a vortex appeared in front of the boor of the hut and a man with an orange spiraled mask emerged from it. Konan stood up and tensed up while Kisame remained leaned against the wall.

" you were wondering how to achieve peace, but today you saw that something like peace can't be achieved. It hade to be forced." The masked individual looked only at Nagato, who looked directly back at him." Go on"

The masked man smiled underneath his mask." As you know you poses the Rinegan, the eyes of the sage of six paths. I happen to know how to create the most powerful weapon in existence with your eyes. We could use this weapon to take over the world and force peace on this world. I have already tow individuals who could easily acquired theses ingredients for us."

Kisame raised an eyebrow." Who are they?" Konan also had a question." And what are those 'ingredients'?"

The masked man didn't look at them and kept his one eye locked on Nagato." They are s class deserter Sasori of the red sand and s class outlaw Kakuzu. Sasori possess a highly advents spy system which we could locate the missing parts and with the help of Kisame and Kakuzu we could easily gather them."

Nagato narrowed his eyes." Tell me about those 'ingredients'." The masked man stayed quiet for a moment. " the tailed beasts."

Kisame pushed himself of the wall. " yeah no way. In case you don't realize the location of the jinjuriki are top secret and heavily guarded. There is no way we could infiltrate the villages and gather a jinjuriki. We would have to wait for ages until the right moment strikes and a loot more members who are highly leveled shinobi."

The masked man shook his head and turned to Kisame." And there you are wrong. You see nine tails fox broke out of his jinjuriki and was sealed on the same day in a baby who was born that day. What the villages didn't notice was that the moon reacted strongly to the fox."

Nagato sill remain quiet and Konan still tensely starred at the masked man." What do you mean by that?"

" I'm not sure myself what exactly happened but the other eight jinjuriki went berserk and ultimately all jinjuriki almost freed themselves. The villagers reacted quickly and sealed the tailed beast in very young hosts." The masked man replied.

" but how exactly dose that help?" Kisame said while crossing his arms again.

" the village heads keep the identity of the jinjuriki a secret form the civilians and other ninjas, so that the jinjuriki don't suffer under superstition. But since the transfer of all tailed beast was an emergency like the one in konohagakure, almost everyone knows of there identity, but aren't aloud to speak about it to anyone. So the civilians mostly ignore these children ore beat them Half to death while the shinobi on patrol do nothing ore join the fun. I have heard some rumors that during that crisis only children were taken as hosts that were orphans ore children of kages. But those are just rumors and need to be verified by Sasori's spy's. The point is it will be very easy to identify them and easy to take them, just show them the first helping hand that they saw in there life's and they will follow blindly. They don't jet know why they are treated that way."

Nagato looked at the masked man in front of him. " what will happen to those children when we have them?"

" a small sacrifice for the peace of the world." The masked man said as if there life's didn't matter.

Time seemed to stop for Nagato and thousands of thoughts raced through his head. This might be the perfect chance for peace, they had still time to collect some other members and then go too the jinjuriki. It will take time until the villages will revile to them that they are jinjuriki. It will be so easy, simple even. Just give some little kids who was rejected by the world for something they had no control over a helping hand and kill them. No one had to suffer anymore, no more war, no more orphans, nothing just peace over the world. His gaze wandered to the corpse of Yahiko. He could actually complete his dream, the dream of his best friend. Yahiko's words shot into his head."by feeling the same pain and shedding the same tears. That way I will stop the war and bring us closer to the real world." That's it, that is what Yahiko wanted. The weapon will ensure that everyone will feel the same pain. Nagato smile and wanted to say something, but before he could answer a nother memory of Yahiko shot though his head. The memory of his dying breath.

"That's correct... But now listen closely... My time is almost over...and with my last breath I give... You the title of head of the...Akatsuki organization. Find people with pain in there ...heart and...save them...together with this world. Promise me...Nagato." That's the same thing right? He will save them by forcing them to peace right? Nagato head started to pound.

No, this isn't right! Taking lives for the grater good? What kind of sick twisted logic is that? This circle of hate can't be broken that way. This world don't need forced peace, it needs heroes that people look up to, heroes who strive for peace, heroes from every village that...felt the same pain and shed the same tears.

The masked mans voice brought him back to reality." Now Sasori will be easy to find since he was spotted wandering the forest recently. Kakuzu will be harder since he has bin recently captured and caged in a private prison outside the hidden mist village. I say we should he-"

"NO!"

Everyone turned to Nagato. " THIS IS NOT WAHT THE AKATSUKI WILL DO, YOU ARE NOT PART OF THIS!"next to Nagato's bed purple flames gathered and a head of a beast emerged from it.

" what are you talking about! This is the only way to achieve peace!" The masked men roared.

"No. I won't sacrifice them to force the world onto its knees, I will make these children into heroes that will usher in a time of true meaning of peace."

The masked man remained quiet for a moment." Tsk, fine, be my guest. While you trie your little fantasy. I will finde people who see reason. Come Kisame, let's go." But Kisame didn't move, he simply looked at Nagato deferment eyes." Nah, I like this guy. I would love to see were this leads and honestly, he just summoned a bit head out of purple flames, so yeah point for him." Whit that, the masked men disappeared with his vortex.

After s long silence Kisame was the first to talk." So what dose that thing do?" He said while gesturing to the king of hell. Nagato just starred at it and after a while it opened its mouth and pulled Nagato in it with its tongue.

Konan wanted to help but Kisame stopped here." If he summoned that thing, I doubt it would harm him." Konan looked at the king of hell worrying about Nagato. After a while it open its mouth and Nagato simply walked out of it. The king of hell disappeared and Konan and Kisame starred at Nagato who jumped up and down a bit to verify that his legs indeed worked again.

Before Nagato could say anything, he was hugged by Konan who had tears in her eyes." Thank god you're ok." Nagato embraced her back and they both stayed like this a while.

They were interrupted by a cough. Bothe of them turned around and spotted Kisame who was scratching the back of his head. "While I enjoyed your determination and hate it to ruin the moment, do you have a plan."

Nagato looked both of them in the eyes and then to Yahiko's corps. "Yes, but first we will sleep." They agreed. Kisame claimed the floor and uses his sword as his pillow, Nagato took the chair that Konan slept before and incited that Konan used the free bed.

The next morning they arrived at the old hideout that Konan Yahiko and Nagato used. It was something like a hidden mansion. Outside it looked like a hill leaning against a mountain, but there was a small doors that led into the hollowed out hill. It had several little rooms with food living space and even a meeting hall. The base wasn't just in the Boulder. It went even deeper into the mountain which gave so much living-space and kitchen and dining hall. " quite big" Kisame said while looking around.

After they had berried Yahiko next to the grave of there dog chibi, they went to this hideout. " yeah, Yahiko had so much fantasies how he would make this the base of the Akatsuki organization." Konan said while remembering the time they found this place.

Nagato vanished into the base and shortly arrived back." Yes, and this will be the base of the Akatsuki." Nagato said while having somting tugged under his arm an wearing a black cloak with read clouds on it.

Konan realized what these cloaks were." You do realized that Yahiko made that up for fun with the clock idea." Nagato smiled and present her a cloaked. " well I liked the idea and will make this official."

Kisame was the only one who didn't understand. " hold on what's going on?"

Nagato turned to Kisame. "Well since you are now a member of the Akatsuki, I present you now the official uniform." Kisame smile. "Sure why not." He and Konan changed into there Akatsuki cloaks.

"Now, we know we're Sasori of the read sand is, but we don't know were Kakuzu the bounty hunter is held." Nagato said

Kisame raised his arm." Actually I think I know what prison that masked man was talking about. I used to bring people there, It's a single cell prison for criminals ore suspects with important intell."

Nagato nodded. " good then you and Konan try to convince Kakuzu to join the Akatsuki while I do the same with Sasori."

Both of them answer at the same time." Yes sir."

And with that, the Akatsuki made there way to there first mission .

Yup that was the fist chapter, as you can see I have changed some things in the timeline and events. The jinjuriki are still the ones we know, but are now all about the same age, some slightly above and some slightly below. Anyway, review all you want and tell me how I can do better at this ...me gramma good. And please if you have a idea what could happen in this story don't hesitate to say it ... Write it, what ever. It's late I'm going to sleep now, which isn't telling you anything good reader since you aren't reading it the moment I'm postin it ... Ok by.
