Jiraiya had been in the last shinobi war. He had witnessed the aftermath of a village's devastation. He remembered how all the buildings became rubble, and great monuments were destroyed. The air was filled with the stench of death. However, he never expected to look at Konoha and see that same scene. The destruction of all the buildings was total. The village's symbol, the Hokage Monument, also suffered destruction. As someone who was taught by a Hokage and taught a Hokage. He felt extreme sadness at the monument being completely destroyed. Now nobody would know that this monument with the Hokage faces on it ever existed. This realization deeply saddened him. He saw the Hidden Sand Village flag flying in the air and knew that they must have won the invasion. They must have released the one tail in the village to cause such grave destruction. He was a Sannin, but he was not unreasonable in thinking he could defeat the Hidden Sand Village alone. He ascended to the top of the Chunin exam area, the designated starting point for the fighting. His eyes widened on seeing Orochimaru dead next to Hiruzen. He knew that Orochimaru was capable of trying to kill Hiruzen. But it still hurt that someone he had once considered a friend was the one who actually killed Hiruzen. He felt pain in his stomach and realized that if he had arrived on time for the invasion, Hirzuen would be alive. His village would not be in rubble. Now he did not even have a village. This was all a result of him getting swept up in a sexual encounter with those girls. Jiraiya put his arms around his chest and stomach and bent over; the guilt of his actions was driving him crazy. His heart would not stop beating; he felt pain everywhere. He felt a lifetime of regret build up in one single moment. He went to Hizuzen's dead body. He went to the destroyed Hokage monument. He dug a grave for Hiruzen where his face on the monument would have been and put a rock on top of it. He prayed for his sensei to have a peaceful life in the next life. He was upset about his blind faith in the prophecy that he would teach a student who could potentially change the world. He believed that the kid would naturally find Jiriya, who would then teach him. The only other students he had ever had were dead long ago in the hidden rain village. The other student died while protecting the village from the Nine-Tails. Jiraiya walked away from the village, knowing that a life filled with regret and him questioning what if he was there to save his village was all he had left for this life.
It took Jiraiya a few weeks for him to find the person he was looking for. He saw someone being thrown through a wall in a bar, and he knew he was in the right place. He walked inside and saw a blond-haired, blue-eyed, big-boobed woman who looked to be in her 30s. He was aware that her appearance was deceptive. Jiraiya, why are you here? I am not coming back to the village! Tsunade screamed at Jiraiya. Jiraiya had a dark and depressed look on his face. Tsunade, the Hidden Leaf is no longer. Tsunade's eyes went wide and tried to throw a punch at Jiraiya, who dodged it. Why would you joke about something that is not funny? I am not lying; I wanted to tell you about it first before you heard the rumors. Orochimaru created a village hidden in the sound. They attacked with the Hidden sand and they defeated our village. Shock was on Tsunade's face; she could not believe it. Hiruzen and Orochimaru are dead. Tsunade started crying with tears streaming down her face. WHY?! WHY?! Tsunade felt incredible pain and regret in her chest. Why did I not realize how childish I have been for decades with tears streaming down her face? They needed me; I could have done something. Why did the village have to be defeated for me to realize how much it meant to me? I could have made a difference. I am the granddaughter of the first Hokage and now his dreams for his village are gone. Tsunade grabbed her chest, crying for hours, realizing how weak and childish she had been for so long. Jiraiya grabbed her shoulder. I have incredible guilt as well, Tsunade. I got distracted and came to the invasion late. When I got there, it was in complete rubble. Tsunade looked up at Jiraiya, who was crying as well. Well, I can't be mad at you since I have not been to the village in decades. You were just a few days late. The two sannin had incredible tears streaming down each of their faces. They hugged each other for hours and walked together to a lake. A green Venus flytrap creature had green hair, black skin on one half of its face, and white skin on the other half. He had yellow eyes, and a black robe with red clouds came out of the ground.
Jiraiya and Tsunade both got Kunai out in case the Venus flytrap being attacked them. The Venus flytrap-looking creature with his raspy old voice started talking to Jiraiya and Tsunade. "I am Zetsu. I am not here to attack you. You must be sad after Konoha's fall. But what if everything awful that ever happened to you disappeared? The goal of our group is to put everyone in the world into a dreamlike state. Everyone in this world would live out their ideal life without anything undesirable ever happening to them. In your dream world, Jiraiya, you would be dating Tsunade, who would assist you in writing your perverted books. She would never complain about your habit of looking at naked women for your books. Minato would have defeated the Nine Tails and would still be alive. Kushina, Minato's wife, would still be alive. The village would have never been destroyed. And Naruto would grow up wanting to learn everything from his godfather. Tsunade, in your dream world, you would have married Dan. Konoha would have listened to you when you said that they needed to make medic nin a requirement for every team. And Nawaki would still be alive. We already have 8 S-rank Shinobi in our group. We will capture all of the Jinchuriki to create this dream world for everyone. You both have the strength to help with our goals. You guys can finally fight for something you know is right. Imagine taking away the guilt, sadness, and regret you both have for everyone in the world. Join our group and use your power for a goal that will help the world." Tsunade and Jiraiya both had amazed smiles on their faces. Both of their eyes resembled those of a child receiving their favorite toy. Jiraiya turned to Zetsu and asked, "Are you saying that we can create a world where everyone can live out their dreams?" Yes, Jiraiya. Jiraiya looked at Tsunade with a crazed look in his eye and a smile on his face. Tsunade, you should come with me; let's build a dream world together. Tsunade was shocked to see Jiraiya with such a crazy look on his face. But she wanted to be a medic to heal as many people as possible. But what if she could make sure nobody ever got hurt again? She looked at Jiraiya's crazed look in his eye and knew that he would do whatever it took to make their plan of the dreamworld work. She knew that it must have been their destiny to be working together now for the dreamworld. She realized that there was meaning in the fall of Konoha. She and Jiraiya would feel regret if they failed to save the world from it. As a medic, saving the world from regret was her new goal and she would cross any line to do it. Jiraiya saw Tsunade's eyes change into a crazed look and knew that she was going to go with him. Zetsu was surprised when he saw two of the legendary Sannin look at him with crazed looks in their eyes. At that moment, he realized that they would do anything to support their cause. It looks like you two are joining. Is that correct? At the same time, Jiraiya and Tsunade both replied to Zetsu, saying, "Yes, we will join you. For the dreamworld." Their expressions were filled with insanity. Shizue ran at Tsunade. Tsunade, please reconsider going with them; you might be feeling emotional right now due to Konoha's fall. Shizune saw a look she had never witnessed in her master's eyes. Tsunade tilted her head and asked, "Shizune, are you not going to help me with the plan for the dreamworld?" No, it is a crazy idea. For years Shizune had been telling Tsunade that she was wrong and disagreeing with her. She knew that Tsunade would never hurt her because she's her former lover's niece. But why was Tsunade's fist coming towards her? Shizune felt the impact of Tsunade's fist, which sent her flying hundreds of feet through four buildings. As a medic nin she knew that multiple bones were broken. She could not move at all. She was barely breathing. She saw her master Tsunade with a crazed look in her eye. Don't worry, Shizune; in the dreamworld you will be alive. So killing you now does not even count. Shizune saw Tsunade punch her in the chest. And made a huge dent in the floor around Shizune's body. Tsunade Looked down at a lifeless Shizue and then walked away and waved and said, "See you in the dreamworld, Shizune."
Jiraiya and Tsunade both followed Zetsu into a building in the hidden rain village. They all walked upstairs, where they encountered a man with orange hair and ringed purple eyes. He wore a forehead protector from the Hidden Rain Village, adorned with a horizontal slash. There were 3 metal rods coming out of his nose. And there were two piercings below his lips. He also had 6 ear piercings in each ear. He had a black robe with red clouds on it. Next to him was a woman with blue hair, adorned with a rose that matched the shade of her hair. She had a piercing below her lip. She also wore a black robe decorated with red clouds. Jiraiya's eyes went wide as he looked at the two people in front of him, who were Konan and Yahiko, whom he had taught during the war. He whispered, "I thought you were dead." No, sensei, we are not dead. We are glad that you have joined our cause. Konan said. Yahiko looked at Jiraiya with a serious expression and said, "I am glad you have joined our cause as well, sensei." Jiraiya turned to Tsunade and spoke. "Those are the war orphans I trained for a few years." Oh yeah, I thought they looked familiar. Tsunade replied with a crazed smile. Jiraiya thought to himself, "The prophecy stating that I would train the world's savior has proven to be accurate." Either Yahiko or Konan will be the world's savior. Judging by the fact that Yahiko has Nagato's eyes, it probably will be him. Jiraiya looked at Konan and asked, What happened to Nagato? Konan spoke to her old sensei; we are about to have a meeting, and we will talk more after. Konan handed Jiraiya and Tsunade black robes with red clouds. This is the robe we all wear. Our group is called the Akatsuki.
Konan motioned for Jiraiya and Tsunade to follow her into a room. Inside the room were six individuals wearing black robes adorned with red clouds, and Jiraiya recognized some of them from his time being a spy. One was a blonde-haired man with a ponytail and blue eyes. He had an Iwagakure headband with a horizontal slash through it. He recognized the man as Deidera, an S-rank explosion specialist. The next person he recognized was a man with green eyes who wore cloth over his head. He had a Takigakure headband with a horizontal slash through it. Jiraiya recognized the S-rank shinobi Kakuzu, the only person to have ever attacked the first Hokage and survived. The only other person Jiraiya recognized was Danzo from the Hidden Leaf. He did not recognize three of the members. One of the members had a short, massively wide, and oddly round body frame. He appeared to be an elderly person with five thin strands of black hair. A triangle-shaped face covering concealed his jaw and mouth. He had no forehead protector to keep his identity unknown. There was a man with whitish-grey hair that was slicked back. He had a long, 3-pronged scythe on his back. He wore a headband from Yugakure around his neck, which had a horizontal slash going through it. Then there was a man with an orange circular mask on his face with one eyehole. The man had spiky dark hair but was not wearing a headband. Jiraiya saw Yahiko enter the room, and everyone turned their attention to him. This observation led Jiraiya to conclude that Yahiko must be the leader of the group. Since we have reached our goal of gathering 10 members, we will go ahead and pair you guys with another person who you will be working with forever. For the next two years, we will be taking missions and gathering information on the nine Jinchuriki. After the two-year period, we will begin implementing our plan to capture every jinchuriki. Konan and I will be a pair. Tsunade and Jiraiya will be a pairing. Deidara and Sasori will be a pairing. Kakazu and Tobi will be a pairing. Hidan and Danzo will be a pairing. Zetsu will give you all your orders; you are dismissed.
Konan made a hand-waving motion to Jiraiya and Tsunade, prompting them to follow her. She took them inside a room. Inside the darkly lit room was a man with red hair and purple-ringed eyes. He had 20 spikes coming out of his back. He looked like a sickly thin man. He was restrained in a metal device that covered his hands and legs. Jiraiya's eyes went wide at seeing his former student Nagato in such a sickly state. I ascended to being a god. Nagato spoke to Jiraiya in a deep voice. Yahiko was forced to kill himself in a fight due to Hanzo. After witnessing that, I tapped into my godly potential and killed Hanzo. Jiraiya, confused, told Nagato that he had just seen Yahiko with Nagato's Rinnegan eyes. I can transfer my visual prowess to the dead. It's very much like a puppet that I can transfer my jutsu and eyes to. I can also communicate through them. Jiraiya's mouth was hanging open, surprised at what he just heard his student can do. It is clear that using such power drains your body significantly. Jiraiya turned to Tsunade and asked, "Can you see if you can heal him?" Tsunade walked over to Nagato and put her hand on him. She tried to send out a pulse, and she was amazed at how much life force was draining from him through those rods. Tsunade said to Nagato, "I will not be able to fix you, but I can make the pain easier in between our missions." Thank you, Tsunade. Zetsu came from the ground in front of Jiraiya and Tsunade. I am sure you are enjoying the reunion, but here is a mission for the two of you. Zetsu handed the mission documents to Jiraiya and Tsunade. Alright, we will talk later. Konan and Nagato waved back to Jiraiya and Tsunade, telling them goodbye.
Danzo did not know what Hidan's abilities were, which was very odd considering how much his Root specialized in information gathering. What were the chances that someone from as small of a village as Yugakure was strong enough to make it in the Akatsuki but was not well known? Danzo put on his kindest grandfather smile, turned to Hidan, and asked him a question. What are your abilities, Hidan? With Jashin's love, I have reached immortality! Danzo's eyes went wide and acted super interested. Do you have an example of your immortality, Hidan? Do you know how to use medical ninjutsu, old man? No, but one of my Root members was among the best in Konoha. Danzo looked at one of his Root members who followed him at all times. The root member came down from the tree. Yes, Danzo-sama. Bring Rika here. Yes, Danzo-sama. Hidan looked confused at Danzo. Danzo saw the confused look his new teammate had. He figured he wanted to know why someone came to him like that. In Konoha I ran a spy organization of shinobi. They will help us on our missions. I may not be an S-rank shinobi, but I have multiple high-level ninjas at my disposal. Hidan was going to respond but then a brown-haired woman with a root mask came in front of Danzo. You called, Danzo-sama? This is Hidan, my new partner in the Akatsuki. He said he was immortal from his religion and needed a medical ninja after giving us an example of his skill. You can show your example now, Hidan. I will show you the power of Jashin love; hopefully you will all join my religion! Hidan took the 3-pronged scythe off his back and cut his head off at the neck. He caught his head with his hands. And then his detached head started talking to Danzo and the Root member like nothing happened. This is what happens when you accept Jashin-sama into your heart. I need your medical ninja to reattach my head, though. Danzo looked at his root member, who walked to Hidan. She placed Hidan's head back onto his body, and her hand glowed green. She reattached the skin where it was cut off. Hidan moved his head around, making sure it was back to normal. See what I told you? When you accept Jashin into your heart, you can become immortal like me if he feels your love as much as I love him.
Hidan Were you born with these abilities? No, Danzo. I was not. Did you acquire these abilities as a result of praising Jashin? Yes, that is correct. Danzo was getting super intrigued. He had no clue how to obtain the power Hidan had. But he knew that he needed to see if he could get those powers. Hidan How do you praise Jashin? Hidan's facial expression became childlike and filled with so much joy. You get them by killing people! You do a ritual, and you praise Jashin-sama's name every time you kill a person! Hidan Where did you learn about the Jashin religion? It is in my home village. Do you want to come see? Yes, I think that I would like to praise Jashin as well. Hidan had such a joyful look on his face. Man, I am so glad we are teammates! I will go show you Jashin's statue! Danzo followed Hidan to a cave and then followed a pathway for a few minutes, where he saw an incredible statue. The statue, which was hundreds of feet high, depicted a man wearing a cloak. He had two horns coming out of his head. He had a black circle on his forehead. He had a 3-pronged scythe in his right hand. He wore a long necklace that featured a huge circular pendant with an upside-down triangle design. This is Jashin in all of his glory!!! Danzo, what do you think? It is incredible, Hidan. Is this where you brought people to kill them, Hidan? Of course, we must always show Jashin our love at all times! How many people have you killed here? Hidan thought about it. Hidan estimated the number at approximately a thousand. Interesting. Danzo's eyes went wide. How had he not realized it? The statue was in the middle of a giant circle. The lines in the ground within the circle were strangely shaped. Then Danzo realized what was happening, and a huge sly grin spread across his face. This circle was oddly shaped like a seal. Danzo immediately called his ANBU. Bring 1,000 people here unconscious. We will kill them all in front of this statue. Hidan was jumping up and down. I am so happy that you will show Jashin your love like this, Danzo!!!! Yes, Hidan. I have found my religion and I am so excited to always show Jashin my love.
