Author's Note: Ok this is my first attempt at writing fanfiction, so if it sucks I'm sorry. Before you read I want you to know that in this story Pein is Yahiko not Nagato, and Pein still has the rinnegan so Nagato is dead. Through out the story I may have small flashbacks on how everything happens for him to die and how Yahiko has the rinnegan. I plan to make the story pretty long so the development between Pein and Naruto's relationship is going to be slow along with Naruto growing up, I want to make it mostly about his childhood, oh and if theres certain father son moment you want in the story please give me ideas! Oh just a quick warning characters may be a bit ooc but I'll do my best.

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Chapter 1

Inside the dank hidden caves, the members of the feared S rank organization of the Akatsuki were all sound asleep, except for one.

Pein layed on his bed trying to relax and go to sleep, however that didn't seem to be happening anytime soon. So many thoughts were racing through his head about what needed to be done, how it was to be done, so his worrying led to no sleeping. One of his major concerns was when it was time to start collecting the bijuu, mainly the Kyuubi. The seal that was placed on the Kyuubi's jinchuuriki was done by the Fourth Hokage who was well know for his great skill in seals, so it was safe to say that the seal placed wasn't the average seal. He wanted to know more about the seal to make sure it was possible to extract the Kyuubi, for if he couldn't it would mean changing every single plan he had and it gave him a headache just thinking about how Madara would react to it.

Getting tired of just laying there Pein got out of bed, put his cloak on over his night cloths, and started heading to his office to try and sort out his thoughts. Once he got there he walked over to his desk and started going through his never ending pile of paperwork. About after and hour of working he found a report on that had some information about the Kyuubi's jinchuuriki, deciding that it wouldn't hurt to scan over the report again to see if by some chance he missed something, he started reading.

The report just gave him the some information that all his other reports gave.

Sighing he ran a hand through his hair tiredly and glanced at the clock. It was nearly four in the morning and he still felt stressed and his thoughts were still jumbled up. Knowing the paper would only stress him out more he got up and headed outside to get some fresh air. He had sat out there for a little over an two hours when he heard foot steps coming towards him. Looking up he saw Konan coming towards him.

"How long have you been up?", she asked worried but her face never showed it. She sat down next to him and lightly brushed her had on his in a caring manner.

"All night." he answered softly and tiredly. He saw her give him a almost noticeable glance of worry.

"Whats been keeping you up lately? I know you haven't been sleeping lately." she questioned giving him a small glare as if saying 'don't you dare tell me nothings wrong either.'

Signing he glanced at her and gave her his full attention. " I'm just worrying about things that need to be done." he answered simply not wanting to talk about it but knew she wouldn't let it rest until he went more into detail, if the look she was giving him was anything to go by.

Giving in he said, " I've been trying to find out more about the seal that was placed on the Kyuubi's jinchuuriki. I have a feeling we may not be able to extract the beast from the boy."

Taking in the information Konan thought over it. " What are you going to do if your correct?" she asked slightly tilting her head at him.

" Thats what I have been wondering about. That would mean changing so many of our plans, not to mention how Madara will react to it. But I did think of something but I don't know how it will go." Pein said offhandedly.

" And", she said urging him to continue after a minute of silence.

" Well if my theory is true, we may still have some hope to maybe get the jinchuuriki to join us, seeing that the boy is still young it shouldn't be hard to convince him to." said with slightly noticeable hope.

She thought it over, ' Its a good idea but it depends on how easily the boy trust too. With him being a jinchuuriki who knows how people have treated him.' Voicing her thoughts she said I think its worth a shot but you will need to be careful when it comes to the child's trust, but right now you should try and gets some sleep I'll bring you some tea to help calm you." With that she got up and headed inside.

Getting up he followed her inside and headed back to bed wondering what the next few weeks will bring.
