Author's note: Alright this is my first story, it's quite short, but do enjoy soon I will continue with Chapter 2 Chapter 1: Rain In the land of Amegakure, a young boy traversed the vast plains of the war torn land, alone. The rain fell heavily on his white coat, drenching him in rain water. Surely if he continued on his endless journey he would become sick. He couldn't afford this to happen. Now that he was alone in this world, he had no other choice, only to survive.

It had only been three days since he had left his old home behind. He remembered it all too well, the sight of seeing his parents killed in cold blood. He remembered every detail of the event, especially the konoha shinobi who had killed both his mother and father. Tears formed in his eyes, as he continued walking. This was the first time he had been alone in his entire life.

It wasn't very long before the young boy came across a small cave. He gulped, being nervous of what might be inside the cave. However, he had no choice, he had to find shelter. Without any further hesitation, he walked inside the cave and slumped down against the wall. He pushed the hood of his coat back, revealing his red hair. He was soaked, and cold. He shivered and hugged his knees, the fact that the wind was picking up didn't help his condition either.

As he sat alone in the dark, moist cave, he couldn't help but replay the images of his parents dying in front of him. He hugged his knees tighter letting more tears fall down his cheeks. He began crying out loudly, burying his head into his knees. He didn't know how he would survive alone. All he wanted was for someone to come and save him.

A sound came from the back of the cave. The boy jumped back looking to the back of the dark cave. He cringed in fear as he stared into the darkness. His fear was quickly put to rest, as a small gecko appeared from the dark. He heaved a sigh of relief as he slumped back down against the wall. The gecko moved closer to the boy looking up at him with wide curious eyes. The boy smiled at the gecko acknowledging it. The gecko moved to the boy's side and curled up. The boy smiled again, "At least I have you as company." Said the boy.

He reached inside his pack that he had been carrying, pulling a small picture of him and his parents. After staring at it for a few moments he put it back in his pack laying down against the cold ground. He shivered slightly, curling up. It was freezing now. The boy sighed knowing it would be wise to sleep. His eyes closed slowly, from behind his red hair and he fell asleep.

That night he had a dream of his parents. They both stood in front of him, looking at him with a smile on their face. The boy's parents spoke in unison, "Remember Nagato, we will always love you no matter how far away we are." Tears streamed from Nagato's eyes as he slept, how he missed his parents so.

The rain fell heavily that night, harder than it had ever done in the past. It wasn't until years that Nagato would discover that it was his own emotions that impacted the weather conditions in his land. Nagato shivered as he slept, surely when he woke he would indeed have a cold.
