After discovering that Kakashi killed his beloved Rin, Obito recalls Madara’s words. “The longer you live, the more you realise that only pain, suffering and futility exist in this reality. Where there is light there are shadows.” Madara talked about discarding all that is real and moving into a dream where all imagined is possible… even Rin could be live again. Obito slid into that dream of love and good things and joined Madara. Holding dead body of Rin he swore to create a world where they can meet again.Zetsu reported the slaughter of each enemy troop by Obito. He also mentioned that Kakashi was the only one left alive, but he didn’t see a thing. Madara asked Obito to be a saviour. Then he placed him under genjutsu. Inside the genjutsu, Obito could recreate everything out of his memories. Once recreation is complete, Madara will cast this genjutsu onto everyone. The catch is to use the moon instead of Sharingan.
Starting with the Ten Tails and Sage of Six Path, who split the Ten Tails into nine Tailed Beasts that roam the world. It all started when Madara’s Rinnegan awakened when he started dying of old age. A seal of sorts came undone and Madara could gather the husk of Ten Tails from Seal Stone. Madara decided to call it the Gedo Statue and the Seal Stone of the moon. One of Madara’s first projects with Gedo statue was to catalyse a culture from Hashirama’s cells. This enabled creation of Zetsu.
Half of Obito’s body was covered with Hashirama’s skin. Rinnegan cannot be awakened without both Uchiha and Senju cells present. This means that Obito now possesses both Senju and Uchiha cells getting him ready for Rinnegan awakening. The DNA information of his right side’s skin alone should enable Obito to control the Gedo statue.
One day Obito made a trip to a newly started group founded on premises to fight for peace called Akatsuki. One of the founding members of Senju bloodline, called Nagato, possessed the Rinnegan. Obito went straight at him with his Sharingan and Forbidden Jutsu of the Sage of Six paths. Madara has empowered Obito with Shadow and Light Style Jutsu as well. Obito also had a dark stick with him. This was a physical manifestation of Madara’s will.
Obito faced Nagato along with his comrades Yahiko and Konan. When he introduced himself as Madara Uchiha, Yahiko labelled him as either stupid or a total idiot. Unfazed, Obito admitted he was coming for Nagato’s Rinnegan. To guide those who awaken it, is our mission. Turing to Nagato, Obito said, “you are the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, who dreamed of peace and stability. Selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace, initiates wars. Hatred is born to protect love.” Yahiko, Konan and Nagato listened intently, although with reservations. Madara went to the point, “Collaborate with us and you’ll leaner how to create a world of love and peace. As soon as you actualise your Rinnegan, you will be able to create such world.“Light is always followed by shadows, ha? You make it sound so simple”, Yahiko stopped Obito. “You are just trying to use us. One can only create new world after knowing another’s pain and shedding tears next to them in mutual understanding.” Obito wasn’t convinced and called Yahiko idealistic. Withe that Yahiko, Konan and Nagato left into the rain warning Obito not to follow them or ever seek them out.
Hidden Rain Village got attacked and Yahiko and his comrades were ready to defend it. Water Style Raging Waves was first defence by Yahiko, Konan spread her paper stars and Nagato has his Wind Style Gale Palm. Konan’s paper stars weren’t very effective as they got wet. Opponent took advantage and charged at her. Nagato was quick enough to step in to save Konan.
When the attackers got worn out, the leader asked if they were from Danzo’s gang. Yahiko, Konan and Nagato took pride in no affiliation with Danzo, but Yahiko admitted to having the same dream of world peace. Kyusuke, as the leader called himself, thought this was impossible as Hidden Rain was positioned between two great nations at war. Yahiko asked them to leave, but not before he thanked Kyusuke for trying to save a kid in the fight. Yahiko, Konan and Nagato are all orphans of the war too.Three of the attackers showed up next day as well. This time however, they came in peace and asked to be part of Yahiko’s movement. Yahiko took them in as comrades and asked them to find another village that suffers as much as this Hidden Rain village. As they looked to the rising sun, Yahiko named their new group Akatsuki.
Yahiko found a love letter addressed to Konan from Kyusuke. Nagato assures Yahiko that Konan likes him. This is also confirmed minutes later when Konan told them that she turned Kyusuke down. They practised their fighting skills later and Konan demonstrated that her paper birdies were no longer a liability in rain. She laced them with oil.
Hanzo setting an example for all peace loving Shinobi. Immediate goal of newly formed Akatsuki is to match up to and surpass Hanzo’s fight for peace. Nagato’s dream was to unite Five Great Nations into one strong nation with similar interests in peace. His and Akatsuki’s pacifist movements may be too premature.
