Prologue - The Last Words of God
Nagato smiled as he hung his head for a little as he let his words sink into Naruto.
"Now to make up for my mistakes..." he said as he slowly dragged out his arms from the walkers arm compartments, his limbs shaking and quivering.
He clasped his hands together and began to gather his chakra.
"Nagato, please, don't do this! It'll kill you!" said Konan in an attempt to deter her life long friend from his decision.
"I'm sorry Konan, I have made up my mind, and it cannot be changed." said Nagato as he closed his eyes.
"Gedo - Rinne Tensei no Jutsu." he said hoarsely, his hands shaking as inside the huge crater formed by him, the King of Hell rose from the ground and stretched its mouth open wide.
It began to release multiple souls from its mouth, a circling cloud of green appearing over the village. Once the King of Hell disappeared, Nagato dropped his hands and coughed, his once red hair turned deathly white. He knew he didn't have much time left, so he used his waning strength to give his final words to Naruto.
"Naruto...I am going to die...knowing that I have at least righted one of the many wrongs...I have committed. Please...Carry on my will and bring peace to the world...Konan and Amegakure will be by your side. I'm going to join Jiraiya-sensei now...It's time my horrible chapter ends...and your chapter begins. Thank you...Naruto Uzumaki...farewell..." breathed Nagato with his final breath before he smiled as his body became limp and his skin stone cold.
Naruto wiped a single tear from his eye, with Konan lowering her head. The fake tree she had made with her paper began to disintegrate, the two of them making their way to ground level with Nagato's body wrapped in paper floating behind them. They returned to the spot where Nagato's Deva Path, his and Konan's friend Yahiko, lie after his defeat.
As the body began to get covered with papers, Naruto asked, "Where will you go?"
"The Akatsuki was Yahiko's dream, the clouds symbolizing the Rain's endless tears. I'm going to return to my home nod leave the organization behind. Without Nagato, there's nothing there for me." said Konan as she lowered her hand, Yahiko's face being covered with papers and finishing the wrapping.
She turned to Naruto and said, "You have inherited Jiraiya-sensei's and Nagato's will. I and Ame will stay by your side always. Thank you Naruto Uzumaki."
She held her hand out, a banquet of flowers forming out of paper. Naruto grasped them and smiled.
"Farewell Konan." he said, the former Akatsuki member smiling softly as she turned and began to walk away with Yahiko and Nagato in tow.
Naruto looked down at the flowers and held them at his side as he left the rocky terrain for his home. He hoped that he would be getting a welcoming party and praise from the villagers, for once. He never knew how wrong he was, and how things would've went from bad...to worse.
