Jiraiya doesn’t like being disturbed when he gets an alone time with his favourite girls magazine, but when Kakashi stopes by the Pervy Sage finds time. Talking to friends after all prevents hearts going dark and serious.It’s about the three kids from Hidden Rain village. Kakashi wanted to know about Yahiko, Konan and Nagato. Through diplomacy and without violence, these three orphans set to bring upon peace in the Hidden Rain. Konan is very talented, although very private. Yahiko, albeit passionate, is a very single path minded person. Nagato learned to hate when his friends got hurt, and to understand pain and be kind to others. Protecting his friends was the most important goal for him. In Jiraiya’s words, Nagato could have been the hero of his novels. Turning to Kakashi, Jiraiya said “hurry and become a hero to my novels, Kakashi!”
Akatsuki’s goal is to help the ones in need. With each day their reputation and fellowship grew. Hanzo heard of Akatsuki and approved their premise to resolve disputes through non violent means. Hanzo’s dream has always been to unite the Five Great Nations and Akatsuki may be helpful.Kyusuke came in with a war report on surrounding nations. Yahiko, Nagato and Konan decided to go check Land of Earth. From local villagers they’ve learned that the carnage was caused by Hidden Stone. This would go against the current peace negotiations of Stone with Hidden Leaf village. Akatsuki resolved to find out whether this was work of rogue ninjas, or a double cross by Hidden Stone elders.
On the way to Hiiden Stone village, Yahiko, Nagato and Konan got ambushed by Stone shinobi. Yahiko tried to talk to the perpetrators, but none would listen. Attacks came from all sides and Yahiko had no choice but to defend himself. Seeing his friends being surrounded and attacked, Nagato recalled his mother being murdered by intruders and just went berserk.
Activating his Demonic statue, Nagato defended his friends with all his might. Yahiko jumped on top of Nagato to make him stop, but it may have been too late for the enemies. When the three retreated, a Hidden Leaf ninja took a notice of Nagato’s Rinnegan powers. Other corpses started to change to Danzo’s Black Ops from Hidden Leaf as well. They were all acting as shinobi from Hidden Stone to obstruct the peace proceedings the elderly of Stone and Leaf were conducting. In the background, Obito and his side-kick Zetsu were observing.Later in a hideout, Nagato confessed to Konan, that he was scared of his powers. In past he was taught by great Jiraiya to control his powers through ninjutsu. Now, that Jiraiya was no longer there, Nagato feared, he may not be able to control his jutsu. Konan promised him, that she and Yahiko will do what they can to help with Nagato’s out-of-control Rinnegan.
Yahiko asked Konan to take a good care of Nagato as he was the key stone of Akatsuki and he would change the world. Nagato was the bridge to peace and Yahiko the pillar that supports it.
Danzo and his Black Ops from Hidden Leaf brought all the deceased bagged and sealed to Hanzo. Lying about their intentions, the Hidden Leaf claimed to have been on the way to Land of Earth’s peace conference. All dead, Danzo said, were result of Akatsuki’s wrath and Hanzo was to blame for not keeping a close eye on them. Danzo described Akatsuki as wolf in sheep’s clothing and warned Hanzo about Akatsuki’s plans to take over the entire Rain village.
Materialising, Obito and Zetsu take a note of Danzo’s crooked plans and lies. Obito decided to stop it all with the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Project Tsuki no Me! First matter at hand was to convince Nagato to coordinate his efforts with Obito against their new enemy, Hanzo and his Hidden Rain army. Nagato may be loyal to Yahiko’s idealistic ways, but Akatsuki would never be the same. The title of next Naruto episode is “The New Akatsuki”.
