Origami Wings & Paper Hearts

Chapter 5

Konan Pov-

I looked back at Amegakure before dividing into thousands of sheets of paper and heading towards Otogakure.

??? Pov-

I ran quickly back to the cell that held Konan.
I had forgotten she could split into paper, and I hadn't used some sort of sticky material to keep her from splitting apart and escaping.

I skidded around the corner I front of where she had been locked up and fuddled with the keys.

The metal door clanged loudly as I burst in. Only to sigh in relief as I saw her, supposedly asleep, on the floor. Bound with heavy steel chains to the closest wall.

I was still suspicious as I approached.

Could it be a clone?

I pulled out a kunai and slashed through her leg.
A dark red cloud surrounded her leg as her eyes clouded and she laid back down on the cold floor from her sudden jolt.

I smirked as I left. Satisfied it wasn't a clone.

Konan Pov-

I winced as I felt a gash on my leg.
Not an actual gash, it only happened to my clone. But I could still feel the pain.

I quickly cast a genjutsu on the user through my clone while the damaged paper of my clone regenerated.

I touched the bag of explosive tags I had prepared before hand unconsciously, After reforming from my slips of paper onto the ground.

It was odd, but I could still perform genjutsu and feel pain as if I was in my full form instead of sheets of paper.

"Konan."

I whirled around, an origami shuriken inbetween my ready fingers.

I sighed and slumped against a tree when I saw who it was, then tensing again as I let my shuriken fly forward.

"Madara." 
I said menacingly as I stepped towards him.
My origami automatically preparing itself in deadly points that faced him.
Ready to fly forward at any signal or sign of movement.

"You've become rather notorious haven't you? Angle of Amegakure?"
He paused before continuing.

"I thought I had managed to wilt your flower when we fought.

"And you did."
I saw his eyes narrow through his mask.
No longer a orange swirly mask, but instead a white one with a rinnegan similar pattern on it.

"But it seems my flower has bloomed again. You damaged the petals, but didn't cut the stem."

He stared silently at me through the eye holes in his mask.

How does he breathe?
I thought, frowning at him from my position.

"Flowers wilt in summer if they don't receive enough rain. Amegakure, the hidden rain, is the only safe place for you. But too much rain can drown the flower. As it did before."

"Perhaps, but origami thinly coated in oil and left to rest can make it waterproof. I've adapted and Amegakure is my home."

"Enough relations. How are you alive? The white of your eyes aren't black, therefore, you weren't revived with the reanimation jutsu that I paired with Kabuto on."

"Why did you join him?"

"That doesn't concern you."

There was a pause as we studied eachother.

"Konan. What if we, rejoin again. The Akatsuki would appreciate having the Rinnekage and the Amegakure Angel alongside them."

"Is the Akatsuki even the Akatsuki anymore? Or is it just a identity insecure organization for those who have lost themselves in who they once were for power?"

I suddenly gasped as I felt my forehead explode into a flurry of paper as Madara used his Kamui through my center head with his hand.

He pulled back as I reformed shaky.

"Nagato's rinnegan didn't used to be yours hm? After all, I still don't believe your truly Madara!"
I said with a bitter laugh.

I could feel my resentment rise as I looked at him.

"The Akatsuki was founded by Yahiko. If Yahiko wants to reform the Akatsuki, he will do so. We do not need you."

Obito Pov-

I tried to maintain a calm face. She couldn't see my face, but she could see my eyes, and they say the eyes are the door to the soul.

Konan betrayed me.

She left the Akatsuki after Nagato's death.
And she didn't tell me where Nagato was so I could obtain his rinnegan.

I focused back into reality as she began to speak again.

"Why did you take only 1 rinnegan? Why not take both?

Why would she ask that? I thought she didn't want me to take Nagato's rinnegan? I couldn't take both rinnegan because it wasn't originally mine. I myself am still unsure why he has the rinnegan. But I can't tell Konan that.

"You are more like a weed than a flower. Sprouting in places you don't belong. Trying to concern yourself with others business, and making others flowers wilt."
I told her in response.

She can talk all she wants. But that doesn't change that she is coming with me. Whether she wants to or not.

I had a clone prepared behind her.

Unbeknownst to her, it crept up from behind her and quickly grasped her throat.

I watched in slight amusement as Konan passed out from no air, The same as she did the last time we fought.

"She may have gotten stronger, but she still falls for the same tricks."
I said to zetsu who appeared behind me.

I picked up Konan and gave her to zetsu, who transported her to the current hideout to be guarded by Kabuto.

As we had discussed.

I was walking away as I heard a voice behind me.

Hinata Hyuga. Of the Hidden Leaf.
