The Commanding Eyes

Seventeen

It's been almost two months since I supposedly died in the eyes of the Akatsuki. Hidan told me that a majority of the members have been killed and Obito finally revealed who he was to those that remained. Hidan informed me that they hadn't taken it well when they were told the truth of the Akatsuki mission as this wasn't what they had all joined for, from what I heard even Pein was pissed at learning that Obito had betrayed their first mission and just wanted to use the organization for war rather than peace. I pity them if they had ever truly thought they were fighting for world peace. Even now as I stand on top of my summoning's head, staring down the remaining Akatsuki next to my brother, I can't help but pity them. I was no longer afraid of killing Obito or Madara, I had a lot of time to think on his betrayal as I got closer to Hidan, and I realize that he's not worth my effort.

I smirked as I removed my mask, "Kneel!" I yelled loudly to the Akatsuki members.

Nagato looked up at me in surprise, "you were dead!" He yelled as he kneeled.

I grinned down at the orange haired deva path and nodded, "indeed I was, but Jashin thought that death didn't fit me as well as he thought it would've and I was revived," I stated.

Konan looked upset, "why didn't you tell us? Did you know that Obito was going to betray us?" She asked.

I shrugged, "telling you would've made you all victims more so than you already were. Each and every Akatsuki member has been misled by Obito Uchiha, those that have died have died for absolutely nothing, and while they may not have been innocent they were still people," I said coldly.

"Enough talk!" Obito yelled as he looked down at me.

I looked back at my previous lover and nodded an agreement. Madara had still not made his appearance but that didn't matter because I knew where he was, I could see it in Obito's eyes. He didn't try to avert his gaze from my own which leads me to believe that he wants me to see where Madara is. He wants us to walk into a trap, but he knows that we aren't that stupid, so maybe he could be making up for betraying me? It didn't matter because today both he and Madara died by my hand and will be taken by lord Jashin. I looked back at Hidan as if silently commanding him to handle the Akatsuki who was trapped under my control. Hidan nodded before jumping off of my summoning's head and landing beside them. Obito tried coming at Hidan, but I lunged into the path of his sword taking it to my left shoulder just above my heart.

Obito looked at me surprised as I grabbed the blade and ripped it from my shoulder. I watched as the blood poured down my shoulder and my hand from gripping the blade still. Obito tried yanking the blade back causing it to dig further into my hand. I didn't let go of the blade and looked directly into the eyes of Obito through his mask. He froze when he realized that I was reading into his every thought that he'd hid from me over the course of our relationship.

I grit my teeth when I saw Obito talking about using me to Madara and looked at him pissed. I ripped the blade from his hand and turned it on him, I shoved it through his body and yanked it out in one go. He didn't have the time to process my actions before I threw the blade to a waiting Hidan and the ritual had begun. Obito looked at me surprised that we had gotten the best of him so quickly.

Makoto, let me in your body, I want to toy with this one a bit.

"Yes, Jashin-sama," I replied out loud.

I closed my eyes as I pushed my own consciousness back and let his take over. I sat inside my own mind watching the events that played out in front of me like a movie. Obito gasped as my eyes turned red and my long silver hair became a striking raven black. He struggled to fight against Hidan's hold recognizing the man in front of him as the one and only Jashin.

"How dare you betray my priests?! I gave you the perfect specimen of a man and this is how you repay that?! I will look forward to torturing you for all eternity in my garden of death and I seriously hope that you're ready to face the music," Jashin roared from my body. His voice replaced mine and held a deep authoritative power to it signifying that Jashin was indeed a god.

Obito dropped the mask of indifference and showed his true face of fear as Jashin backed away allowing Hidan to begin his ritual. He screamed in agony as Hidan took his time torturing him for hurting me and betraying our Lord Jashin. I held back the grimaces of pain as I watched the torture Obito endured reminding myself that this is what he truly deserved. I took back over my body as Obito was killed and he lay dead at my feet with a look of regret on his face.

"I loved you, Obito. I'm sorry this had to end like this," I said softly as I turned away. I released the Akatsuki and looked up at the sky.

"Hidan, Madara won't attack us now. He's weak without Obito to bring his true body back so we have time to rest. Let's go," I said as I helped him up, "you're all free to follow your own paths as well," I said to the Akatsuki before walking off with Hidan.
