Naruto Universe Part Three: Old Allies Old Enemies

I just happened to have this mostly finished without realizing it. I planned for longer but cut it in half so I could post this to make up for the lack of updates

If you are not familiar with Naruto Shippuden then much of this may not make sense.

Land of Lightning: Day 2 of the 4th Great Shinobi War...

Nagato stared at the two reanimated shinobi as Konan used her origami to seal them away. The fight hadn't lasted for too long but still long enough to delay them. After all, they were former Kage.

"We'd best hurry. We must find Itachi and end the Reanimation Jutsu."

Konan looked up at him, "Nagato... You're still weak."

He shook his head, "Even if my body is weakened, the Reanimation grants us infinite chakra," he slammed his hand on the ground, "Summoning Jutsu!"

There was an explosion of smoke as the drill-beaked bird appeared beneath him. Wordlessly, he reached out a hand towards his wife.

Konan stepped onto the summon and held Nagato kneel on its back, "Very well. Let's go."

Akatsuki Hideout: Hidden Grotto...

Nagato and Konan made their way to the hidden cave Kabuto had been hiding since the beginning of the war following the path Itachi had laid out for them.

Once they arrived, Konan stiffened slightly.

"What is it?"

Konan pointed at the cave, "Look."

Nagato's Rinnegan eyes scanned the cave, piercing through the barriers and broken traps that littered its maze-like structure. Upon seeing the chakra signatures within the largest cave, his eyes widened.

"Sasuke Uchiha..."

Konan nodded, "It appears so."

Nagato released the summon, lightly dropping to the ground, "Let's enter."

Itachi straightened up his left Sharingan eye fading into a dull white, "He cannot escape this loop," he stated as he stepped back from Kabuto's frozen figure, "He'll remain inside this Samsara."

Sasuke heard the sound of footsteps behind them and whirled around, his sword held ready to attack.

"No need for alarm. We're allies," Nagato's deep voice echoed in the large cave, as he entered the room, leaning on Konan's shoulder.

Konan looked at Itachi and then Kabuto, "What Jutsu is this?"

"The other Uchiha forbidden Jutsu. The companion to Izanagi," Itachi explained, "A Jutsu that decides fate. The Izanami," he rested a hand on the still-standing Kabuto's head, "I'll keep him trapped so that it's easier for me to cast my usual Genjutsu on him."

Sasuke looked slightly awed, "So... he's caught in the loop you've created? That's the Izanami?"

Itachi turned to face him, "The Izanami is a visual Jutsu that places one's opponent into an infinite loop of time and sensations that you create. All at the cost of the sight of one eye. Just like the Izanagi."
