The Tenth Akatsuki

Chapter One: The Vision

The rain pattered against the dark, concrete surface. It never stops. This is what life is like living in the Hidden Rain Village, Amegakure. The rain never stops, and neither does the bloodshed. I'm lucky enough to still have two living parents, I thank them and try to be grateful to them every day, and apologize if I do anything wrong. I have an ability where I can vision about the future. I had this since I was very young, almost as if I was born with it. Anyway, we had two Shinobi World Wars and our village was the center of all the bloodshed! 

Many lives were lost, many people lost they're families, and every time I think about those tragic days, I realized how blessed I am to have a family. It makes me want to do more than just sympathize for other people that have lost everything. I want all the violence, the pain and suffering, to all end. I want peace. It all seems like a fantasy, but this is my fantasy, my anime story of me, the writer, Joshua. 

"I sure hope all this protection and defense Jutsu pays off," I said. "I'm sure you already know, nonetheless if you fail a mission, trying is the best you can do so failing won't matter," said my instructor, an orange haired boy about my age by the name of Yahiko. Me and Yahiko had so much in common, our ambition and dedication to create peace, we wanted nothing more. I know Yahiko will do so much to help the Hidden Rain Village, he lost his parents in the war, and I will never understand what it would feel like to go through that much pain. In the end, I know his story, but I'll never bring it up because I don't want him to feel any harm about reminicing his past. He's already gone through so much, and I just wish I could do more to help. 

"Ok Joshua, remember what I taught you. I know your ready and that after this you'll be one of the strongest ninjas alive. I'm so proud of you," said Yahiko as he smiles and launches a big, firey dragon straight at me with a fireball attached to the end. This was his fire ball Jutsu, but he also had Wind and Water abilities too. I take the fire that he launched straight at me and deflect it back into a wall with ease. Yahiko does the same with Wind and Water, shooting attacks as I deflect them in the other direction with ease. Finally, he uses all three elements at once, and I deflect them. 

This is what my training led to, I spent years mastering the deflection Ninjutsu, an ability where I can take anybody's attack and turn it against them. I have also learned one of the best Chakra Absorption Techniques, where I can take someone else's Chakra, making them weaker, and can use that Chakra to mimic they're own abilities against them. As the training session came to a close, I realized on this day how important hard work pays off and what it feels like to master your ability. I can use this power for peace, but most importantly to protect the ones I love. 

I bow to Yahiko, thanking him for all his time to help me master this difficult ability after all these years. "Thank you Yahiko, I could not ask for a better instructor and a better friend," I said. We both smile as we take in this beautiful memory that we will never forget. We hug and then he invites me back to his house, which I accept. We begin to walk together to his house, talking about our future to accomplish peace. 

We soon arrived at Yahiko's house. It was small, barren. When I walked inside I saw two people, a young girl with lavender hair with a paper flower on the left side of her face attaching to her bun. The other was a young boy with a dark maroon colored hair and a very serious expression. "Konan, Nagato, this is Joshua. He is very formidable in his talents and has a lot of respect for me as a friend. I trust him with admiration and respect. In that regard, I have helped him over the past few years to accelerate his talents, helping him become the ninja he is today. We will both create peace for this village, and I hope that in time you will join me in aiding me to achieve this goal. Either way, I will create peace, and I will change the world," said Yahiko as he gives an ambiguous smile to Konan, making her blush. I nod my head as well as Nagato and Konan in return after meeting each other. I give a barely noticeable smile. It soon begins to expand after I envision Konan and Yahiko's relationship after Konan blushes. It makes me happy for Yahiko when I start to envision Yahiko and Konan together, sitting and laughing to they're own jokes on a field of flowers.
