    ----------------------------


    Somewhere In a secret hideout in the Land of Ancestors.


    Swirl


    A swirling portal opens up. A yellow one-eye masked figure d in ck robes with a red cloud pattern walks out of it.


    "How are the preparations?"


    Swoosh swoosh


    Multiple origami papers swarm the area. The papers coalesce together to form Konan.


    "Pain is waiting inside for you!"


    Konan turns around and enters the room. Tobi follows her.


    Inside the room, Pain is sitting on a ck rod throne with four other pains standing beside him.


    "The preparations areplete. After three years of exploration, I retrieved what you asked."


    Pain withdraws a scroll from his robe and tosses it toward Tobi.


    Tobi grabs the scroll and nces at it.


    "This should be enough to ensure our victory in the uing war. However, we still need time to prepare for war."


    "How is the cooperation with Kabuto?" Pain asks him.


    "Are you sure about the co-operation with that snake? What if he backstabs us, just like Master?" Konan voices her concern.


    "That won''t happen! I already have his weakness in my hands." A scroll appears in Tobi''s hands.


    "This is the thing that Kabuto desires the most. Fortunately, it happens to be in my hands. If he wants it, then he must have to work for me." Tobi closes his fist, and the scroll disappears.


    "Also, it''s about time for me to formally introduce myself to the rest of the Akatsuki members. Gone are the days when I was known as Tobi!" Tobi''s demeanor changes as he speaks.


    "Izuna Uchiha was a throne, stuck in the path of Akatsuki. Now, it has been two years since he disappeared from this world. So, after ample preparations, we can finally make a move on Konoha to capture the remaining One-tail and Nine-tails."


    Tobi takes out two magatama beads and one circr ss bead from his pocket. He passes them to Pain.


    "Even without Izuna Uchiha, Konoha still has multiple powerful shinobis within it. Sakumo Hatake, Tsunade Senju, Minato Namikaze, Fugaku Uchiha, Yagami Uchiha, Akira Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy" Tobi continues to count the elite shinobis of Konoha.


    " and finally, your sensei Jiraiya." Konan''s expression flinches slightly at the mention of Jiraiya.


    Even Tobi himself is surprised by the sheer number of powerful shinobis present in Konoha.


    ''Current Konoha is a force to be reckoned with. Fortunately, I was able to get my hands on that thing or else'' He assures himself.


    "Fighting a head-on battle against Konoha will be a mistake even with your Rinnegan." Tobi analyzes the current strength of Konoha.


    "Summon the rest of the members to initiate our n."


    Pain taps the ring on his finger.


    Half an hourter,


    The projection of every Akatsuki member gathers inside the secret hideout.


    "It has been a while since Ist saw your face." Kakuzu res into Pain''s eyes.


    "Hey man! I thought you were dead. Too bad, you would have made a great offering to Lord Jashin." Hidan clicks his tongue.


    "I am not here to listen to the bbering of a walking antique zombie and a lunatic cultist of a shady God. If there is nothing else, I will return." Sasori opens his mouth and mocks Hidan and Kakuzu.


    "Looks like someone is itching to meet the death God." Kakuzu clenches his fist in anger.


    "His soul will be a sacrifice to my Lord Jashin, not some death God!" Hidan readies his scythe.


    Fufu


    Deidara chuckles slightly.


    "Sasori my man! Looks like they have already nned a funeral and afterlife home for you."


    "Shut up!" Sasori res at him.


    "Enough!"


    Pain who has his eyes closed the entire time opens them and speaks, inducing fear in every Akatsuki member present.


    "I haven''t summoned you here for the useless bbering." Pain res at every member of Akatsuki.


    "Before we begin, I have someone to introduce." Pain turns to a dark corner as a figure walks out of it.


    The Akatsuki members recognize him.


    "Tobi?!"


    They are surprised to see Tobi.


    "Before we begin, let me re-introduce myself"


    " so, except for Fushin and Kisame who will attack the Eight-Tails, the rest will attack Konoha with me. Kabuto will also provide some backup to both teams. So, let''s meet outside the Land of Fire in the next seven days." Pain concludes the meeting.


    Swoosh swoosh


    One by one, the projection of every Akatsuki member disappears from the room.


    Tobi also retreats with Zetsu to meet with Kabuto to finalize their n. Only Konan and Pain are left in the room.


    "After removing the only obstacle in our path, the ''Eye of the Moon n'' will finallye to fruition. I will bring peace to this forsaken world." Pain slowly walks out of the hideout.


    "Nagato!" Konan has a hesitant expression on her face.


    "Will this n really bring peace to the world? Wouldn''t we end up sacrificing hundred and thousands of people if a war starts now?" Konan clenches her fists as she murmurs.


    "This is not what Yahiko envisioned Akatsuki to be a terrorist organization responsible for mass murder." She questions Nagato''s decision again as she recalls Izuna''s words from the past.


    "These hundred and thousands of people are the necessary sacrifice to propagate a new future. These heartless people never even once spared a nce when their nation attacked other nations for resources. We had to survive another day as they enjoyed their life. They brutally crushed our peaceful attempts to rise. They never showed mercy to us. So, why should we reciprocate? Konan you can''t change my mind."


    Deva Path leaves the ce with other paths.


    Sigh


    Konan sighs helplessly.


    "Nagato you have changed you have changed a lot. Your power has corrupted your mind. But I will still stand with you and see this to the end, for that is my promise to Yahiko." Konan closes her eyes as tears fall from them.


    "Yahiko"


    --------------------


    Somewhere in a forest outside the Land of Rice Paddies,


    A figure in a ck cloak is sitting on a rock. A white snake slithers around the figure. Kabuto gently pats the snake.


    Swirl


    Tobi walks out of a swirling portal.


    "I am notte, am I?"


    "No! You are just on time." Kabuto raises his head and turns to Tobi.


    "Have you brought it?" Kabuto has an eager expression on his face.


    Swoosh


    Tobi summons a storage scroll.


    "It will depend on your contribution." He tosses the scroll to Kabuto. Kabuto grabs the scroll and checks its content. His expression turns ugly.


    "This is not what you promised?" A scary expression appears on Kabuto''s face.


    "You have yet to make any noteworthy contribution. So, this is all I can spare for now." Tobi calmly crosses his hands in front of his chest as he ys Kabuto on his fingertips.


    "You!" Rage appears in Kabuto''s eyes. However, it soon disappears, and a calm expression is on his face.


    Kabuto smirks and speaks in a chilly tone.


    "Contribution, it is!?"


    Swish swish


    He makes some quick hand signs and ms his palm on the ground.


    "Edo Tensei!"


    Poof Poof


    Eight wooden coffins pop out of the ground. One of the coffins slightly differs from the rest.


    BANG BANG


    One by one, the lid of the six coffins falls to the ground.


    "How is it for contribution?" Tobi''s expression changes drastically as he stares at the summons.


    "YOU?!" His eyes narrow as he stares at the summons in the coffin.


    Kuku


    "I have perfected the technique which Orochimaru-sama failed to. With my modifications, each of these shinobis retained their peak strength no, they are beyond their peak strength since they don''t feel pain, hunger, and exhaustion. They can''t die by normal means and will never run out of chakra."


    Kabuto tickles the chin of the white snake wrapped around his body.


    Hmm


    Tobi''s expression turns normal.


    "This should be more than enough. Once the war is over, I will give everything to you. That''s the term of our agreement."


    "NO!" Kabuto shakes his head.


    "We need to slightly change the terms."


    BANG


    The lid of the final two coffins falls to the ground.


    "IMPOSSIBLE!"


    For the first time, Tobi loses his calm as he res at the two figures in the coffin. Tobi is shaken to his core as Kabuto calmly walks towards him.


    "You know while researching, I came across a shocking revtion. The rest was quite easy to figure out. I connected a few dots and"


    Kuku


    Kabuto smiles ominously as he mutters.


    "Isn''t that right, Mr. Obito Uchiha?"
