Crystal In the Darkness (Sequel To The Crystal In The Light)

Amegakure

The sounds torrential raindrops falling the grounds of Amegakure, could be heard all across the village as well as the smell of the rain could be inhaled. 

One of the rain dissolved with the sweat of a red haired man and flowed down on his chin, before hitting on the grass leaves. 

The next moment, the sound of shurikens clashing with each other could be heard. 

"Nagato! Konan! How am I supposed to be alive when I am sure that I died in your hands?" An orange haired man shouted. 

"Sorry Yahiko. But this will require explanation which will take a long time to make you understand about the situation. You only have to know that you are being reanimated by Eiji Namikaze." Nagato said as he quickly gave a spin kick to Yahiko, who quickly used water columns to block it.

"You have to stop me." Yahiko shouted. "I cannot control myself." 

"Yes. We are aware of that, Yahiko." Konan said as she quickly swung her paper sword in an attempt to cut off Yahiko's neck, only for another water column to make the sword useless by making contact with the paper. 

"Hey Nagato! Why don't you use your almighty push to kill him?" Konan asked as she flew away. 

"It would be an overkill. Not to mention that the citizens are still evacuating." Nagato said as he quickly took out his chakra rod to try and seep out Yahiko's chakra. 

[Water style: Water Canon Jutsu] 

The rods slipped out from Nagato's hand as he gritted his teeth angrily, before quickly calming himself down. 

Being angry will not solve anything. Think Nagato think. Nagato thought. Hey, why don't I summon the rest of the paths of the pain to help me?

A few moments later, 5 figures could be seen in the sky. They quickly landed beside Nagato. 

The Preta path charged towards Yahiko, in attempt to seep out his chakra only for Yahiko to vanish in thin air. 

"Water clones?" Nagato muttered, before his eyes widened in realization. 

He quickly jumped away just in time to dodge from Yahiko who appeared out of the water puddle and charged towards Nagato with a sword in his hands. 

"Whew! Close call." Nagato said as he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yahiko's hand was suddenly seized by the Asura path which quickly grew a large armor and large weapons on his body

"WHOA! THAT'S IMPRESSIVE! DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE MASTERED THE RINNEGAN?" Yahiko shouted, marveling at the blades which grew out of Path's body. 

Nagato only smiled as he quickly willed the Human Path to try and take the soul of Yahiko out of the Zetsu clone and the Asura path to restrain him completely.

The Asura path held the orange haired man in such a force that Yahiko could not perform any handsigns as the Human path walked to him and got ready to take out his souls out of his fake body. 

"Yahiko, any last words?" Nagato asked as he moved towards Yahiko after stopping the Human Path. 

Yahiko just smiled and said "Nagato, what happened to the peace which Jiraiya envisioned?" 

"Well....about that.... A war is about to take place right now." Nagato said, with his voice filled with sorrow. 

Nagato is feeling sorrow for the war? It seems that Obito san has fulfilled his promise to me. Yahiko thought with a smile.
