The Tenth Akatsuki

Chapter Two: Creating the Akatsuki

One year later... 

I wake up from bed, ready to tackle another day. I inform my parents that I'm going to Yahiko's house again and I thank them for letting me achieve my goal. I think about all the training I've received from Jiraiya and Yahiko over the past year and I am grateful that I have two wonderful people to help me with my Wind abilities. 

When I arrived at Yahiko's house he welcomed me in and I thanked him for inviting me. "I appreciate your gratitude Joshua, but your always welcome to come over, your family to us," said Yahiko pleasantly. Jiraiya later walks in after attending to his frogs to inform us that we should now be heading out to the edge of the Hidden Rain Village for another day of training. When we arrived, we usually warm up by launching some abilities that we are currently struggling with, but today Jiraiya told us to meet together in a cave under the city. 

"I have decided to teach you Ninjutsu," said Jiraiya. We all run in different corners of the vast open area surrounding Jiraiya. "Water Spray!" yelled Yahiko as he shoots a large wave of water out of his mouth. "Paper Shuriken!" yelled Konan as she launches Paper Shuriken. "Superior Cava!" yelled Nagato as he attempts to block Jiraiya into Konan and Yahiko's abilities. "Intrinsic Wind!" I yelled to try to launch Jiraiya away with a massive wind current. 

Jiraiya counters all the attacks by vanishing into a cloud of white, a perfect Ninjutsu technique. "Now I can return to my village without worries. You've done really well these past three years. Hey now, don't cry, Yahiko. Konan, you'll blossom into a vision of beauty. That's why, this time you four need to change this country with your power. Nagato, Joshua, you guys have all grown up," said Jiraiya as everyone began to tear up. "Thank you, Sensei," said Yahiko empathetically, as we all stand there and Jiraiya walks off into the distance 

Five years later... 

I've done so much in the past five years. I continued to improve my Chakra and my advanced Wind abilities, learning so much that now I can accept A and even S class missions. We've created a group to protect Amegakure, with Yahiko as the leader. There was this one mission the four of us had to encounter, two rebellious soldiers decided to burn an Amegakure house and tried to crumble the city. Our mission was to prevent that. When we showed up we saw that the building was on fire due to two launched flaming kunais. We went inside the building to make sure nobody was hurt, and saw two young children in the middle of the fire! 

There was the two soldiers in the middle of the fire with kunai's against the children's throat. Nagato quickly killed the two soldiers, catching them off guard by using his Rinnegan Vena Cava ability, launching them into the fire as they burn alive like you were to roast BBQ on the grill. This made Yahiko a little upset that Nagato didn't have much regard for human life. "Nagato, we could've kept them alive," said Yahiko. "Sorry Yahiko, but I don't have much sympathy for people who threaten children," said Nagato. 

The fire quickly starts to enclose on the children as the sense of the smoldering heat begins to grow stronger. We all ran into the middle and I use my Wind Shield ability to put air pressure all around us, blocking the flames from reaching us. Yahiko then uses his Water Spray to destroy incoming flames and his Water Wall Technique as an extra layer of defense. "This thing is going to explode," said Yahiko, and we quickly jump out of the back window with the four of us and the children land on our feet as the building blows up behind us. 

That was an A class mission, one of my favorites that I've accepted. We also recruited other members to help us with our cause. "I'm Yahiko. This is Nagato, Joshua, and Konan," said Yahiko. "I'm Kyusuke the Swift. If you need to gather intel, you can leave it to these fast legs," said Kyusuke. "Then go and find me other villages that are suffering like this one," said Yahiko. This was one of the many characteristics to why I like Yahiko, he's not afraid to ask for help, but he also wants to use his power to help other people. He also has loads of ambition and dedication.
