After Nagato's Death
After Nagato's death, leadership of the Akatsuki organization fell directly into Obito's hands. Sasuke Uchiha's Hawk Team had a brief period of cooperation with Akatsuki, their goal being to capture the Eight-Tails for the organization. However, this operation ultimately ended in failure.
Following this, Obito Uchiha and Kabuto Yakushi reached a mutually beneficial agreement. They decided to join forces to launch the Fourth Shinobi World War to achieve their respective goals.
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the true form of White Zetsu was unfortunately killed by Sasuke. Obito Uchiha then joined forces with Madara Uchiha, who was summoned by Kabuto Yakushi using the Edo Tensei technique, and together they controlled the powerful Ten-Tails, engaging in a fierce battle against the Allied Shinobi Forces.
However, the situation in this war gradually changed. Kabuto was defeated in his battle against Sasuke and Itachi, who had Edo Tensei, while Orochimaru was also resurrected thanks to Sasuke's efforts.
Sasuke cleverly used Kabuto's power to successfully revive Orochimaru. Orochimaru, in turn, toyed with the Death God in his own unique way, not only reviving himself but also bringing back the four Naruto.
The Uchiha Clan brothers, Sasuke and Itachi, displayed astonishing teamwork and strength in this war, joining forces to fight against Kabuto Yakushi and ultimately achieving victory.
However, Obito Uchiha's fate remained unchanged. Despite becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he was ultimately defeated by the Allied Shinobi Forces. Forced by Black Zetsu's possession, Obito Uchiha was compelled to use the Outer Path: Rinne Rebirth Technique to revive Madara Uchiha. In that breathtaking battle of wits with Black Zetsu, Obito Uchiha displayed astonishing willpower and determination. After a fierce confrontation, he finally defeated Black Zetsu and successfully regained control of his body.
Immediately afterwards, Obito Uchiha poured the other half of the Nine-Tails, along with portions of the One-Tail and Eight-Tails chakra he had stolen from Madara, into Naruto's body. This act was not only to help Naruto increase his strength, but also Obito Uchiha's way of redeeming himself for the mistakes he had made in the past.
However, just after Obito Uchiha finished doing all this, Madara Uchiha suddenly made his move and stole his Rinnegan. Faced with this sudden turn of events, Obito Uchiha was powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as his Rinnegan was taken away.
Fortunately, Naruto arrived in time and used the power of the Six Paths to temporarily save Obito Uchiha. Obito Uchiha was able to recover and fight alongside Team 7 to confront the creator goddess of the Shinobi World — Kaguya Otsutsuki.
In this thrilling battle, Obito Uchiha fought with all his might, unleashing his full power. Although he ultimately sacrificed himself, his efforts were not in vain. Team 7 successfully defeated Kaguya Otsutsuki, saving the entire Shinobi World.
With this, all members of the Akatsuki had perished. This once feared organization vanished with the departure of its members.
The Akatsuki team typically consists of two members, a partnership model that allows members to complement each other's abilities and unleash greater combat power. However, in certain special circumstances, they may deploy three or more members simultaneously, such as when they recruited Deidara into the Akatsuki or when they recruited Hidan in the TV series.
There are two main reasons for this team formation method. First, it avoids members acting alone. Each member of Xiao has extremely high confidence in their abilities, even to the point of being arrogant. However, this arrogance is often their biggest weakness. By forming pairs, they can check and balance each other, preventing mission failure due to individual impulsiveness.
In the ninja world, arrogance is an extremely dangerous trait. When someone is overly arrogant, they may underestimate their opponent, thus falling into danger or even losing their life. Similarly, being overly attached to battle can also put oneself in a disadvantageous situation. Therefore, when two people are acting together, the advice of a teammate becomes the most effective way to overcome arrogance.
In teamwork, mutual assistance is key to increasing the success rate of a mission. After all, one person's strength is limited, while the power of teamwork can produce a result greater than the sum of its parts. Each teammate has unique knowledge, experience, combat skills, and support abilities, all of which play a vital role in the successful completion of a mission. Furthermore, when faced with danger, two people are obviously much more likely to survive than one.
Besides mutual assistance, mutual supervision is also crucial. In an organization like Akatsuki, spies are absolutely forbidden, as this could lead to the leakage of organizational secrets. When two people act together, they can supervise each other to ensure that the other does not betray the organization. This mutual supervision not only protects the organization's security but also enhances trust between them.
Yahiko, a boy with a tragic past, was an orphan from Amegakure during the Second Shinobi World War. In that era of war, he lost his family and home, and struggled to survive alone in the ruins.
However, the wheels of fate quietly began to turn during his youth. By chance, Yahiko met Konan and Nagato, who were also destined for misfortune. The three hit it off immediately, relying on each other for survival and getting through that difficult time together.
In order to completely change his and his companions' tragic fate, Yahiko resolved to learn ninjutsu. After countless days and nights of diligent study and tireless effort, they finally got a golden opportunity— Jiraiya, one of the legendary Legendary Sannin, took a great interest in them and decided to take them as his students.
And so, Yahiko and his companions embarked on their training under Jiraiya. Under Jiraiya's meticulous guidance, Yahiko eagerly learned various ninjutsu techniques, and his talent and hard work led to rapid progress in his skills. Moreover, Jiraiya taught Yahiko many things about the spirit and ideals of the ninja, and these teachings were deeply imprinted in Yahiko's heart, instilling in him a strong desire for peace.
As time passed, Yahiko gradually grew from a naive boy into a dashing young man. His ideal became clearer and firmer—he wanted to create a world without war, full of peace. In order to achieve this grand goal, Yahiko resolutely decided to create an organization, an organization that could lead the world towards peace.
After careful consideration, Yahiko named the organization "Akatsuki." The name signifies the dawn and symbolizes that they will bring new hope and light to the world. Initially, Akatsuki consisted of only three members: Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato. However, they firmly believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to realize their ideals.
Thus, the Akatsuki organization was officially established. With the mission of achieving world peace, they embarked on a long and arduous journey. On this path, they would face countless difficulties and challenges, but Yahiko was fearless, because he knew that only through unremitting efforts could the world become a better place.
However, the gap between ideals and reality is as insurmountable as an insurmountable chasm. In a thrilling operation, Yahiko faces a difficult choice: either watch helplessly as Konan is taken Hanzo by Hanzo of the Amegakure, or exchange his own life for her freedom.
In that critical moment, Yahiko did not hesitate for a moment; he resolutely chose the latter. He stepped forward and used his own body to block the deadly kunai shot by Nagato. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and Yahiko's life was extinguished.
Yahiko, only 15 years old, thus ended his short but brilliant life. His departure was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Konan and Nagato. They could not accept this cruel fact and were heartbroken.
However, Konan and Nagato were not defeated by their grief. They deeply understood Yahiko's will and dreams and were determined to carry them on. Nagato, with his powerful Rinnegan abilities, actually transformed Yahiko's remains into the Deva Path of the Six Paths of Pain.
From then on, Yahiko continued to exist in the world in another form. As the leader of the "Six Paths of Pain," Deva Path Yahiko possessed terrifying strength and unique abilities. His use of the Rinnegan had reached a level of perfection, allowing him to unleash various powerful skills at will.
Among them, his signature moves such as Shinra Tensei, Bansho Ten'in, and Planetary Devastation make him incredibly powerful and invincible in battle. These skills are not only incredibly powerful but also visually stunning, as if they could tear the entire world apart, leaving viewers in awe.
Among the Six Paths of Pain, Yahiko (Deva Path) bears the heavy responsibility of command. Like a commander on the battlefield, he leads the other five Paths with a calm mind and outstanding leadership skills to carry out missions and work tirelessly to achieve the goal of world peace.
Although Yahiko has left this world, his spirit lives on like an inextinguishable flame in the hearts of Konan and Nagato, inspiring countless people to bravely pursue peace and justice.
It's worth mentioning that the skills of young Yahiko in the Deva Path combat techniques have been constantly revealed. His skills have a water tornado effect, as if they can stir up endless waves to engulf the enemy. And his ultimate technique can summon Konan and Nagato, and the three of them working together are incredibly powerful.
Yahiko's chakra nature is water, which gives him a unique advantage in Water Release- style ninjutsu. Among them, Water Release: Water Colliding Wave is one of his signature moves. This technique can instantly release a powerful stream of water that sweeps in like a raging torrent, causing massive damage to the enemy.
Basic Water Release is a common ninjutsu technique used by ninjas. The user forms hand seals and spews a powerful stream of water from their mouth, which quickly gathers into a small pool in mid-air. Although this pool may not seem large, the impact it contains is quite astonishing.
Once released, this small pool of water will rush straight towards the opponent like a cannonball. The impact of the water is enough to knock enemies away or even cause them some damage. This move is simple and direct, but it often has unexpected effects in battle.
It should be noted that this is only one application of the basic Water Release technique. In reality, there are many other variations and derivative techniques of Water Release, which can be flexibly applied according to different combat scenarios and the characteristics of the opponent.
Furthermore, regarding Deva Path's abilities, since they are special abilities belonging to Nagato's Rinnegan, they will not be listed here. As the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Nagato possessed immense strength and unique ninjutsu skills, which will be gradually revealed in subsequent stories.
Nagato's relationships are also quite complex. He is a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, inheriting his bloodline from his mother. He and Konan are fellow disciples, and together they founded the Akatsuki organization. Within Akatsuki, Konan is the only female member, and due to her beautiful appearance and gentle personality, she is known as "Angel."
Nagato's life was full of hardships and tribulations. He became a war orphan of Amegakure during the Second Shinobi World War, experiencing the pain of losing both his parents. Later, he met Konan and Yahiko and studied ninjutsu under Jiraiya. However, fate played a cruel joke on him, and Yahiko's death dealt Nagato another huge blow.
After experiencing this series of painful events, Nagato was seduced by "Madara Uchiha (Obito Uchiha)" and resolved to cultivate peace within the cycle of suffering. His decision not only altered his own life trajectory but also profoundly impacted the entire ninja world. She was a war orphan from Amegakure during the Second Shinobi World War. In that brutal war, she lost her parents and family, becoming a helpless child. However, the wheels of fate began to turn at a certain moment, leading her to meet Yahiko and Nagato.
These three children, all victims of war, supported each other through hardship and endured difficult days together. Then, a ninja named Jiraiya entered their lives. Jiraiya, this legendary ninja, not only possessed immense strength but also a kind and warm heart.
Jiraiya saw the potential and kindness of these three children and decided to take them as his students, teaching them ninjutsu. Under Jiraiya's careful guidance, their ninjutsu skills improved day by day, and their desire for world peace grew stronger.
However, the shadow of war always loomed over them. Despite their diligent study of ninjutsu, hoping to change the world with their own power, reality was always cruel. During a mission, Yahiko tragically sacrificed his life, which dealt them a huge blow.
But just when they were in despair, Naruto appeared. Naruto's sincerity and determination rekindled their faith in world peace. Naruto proved with his actions that even in the darkness, there is always a glimmer of hope.
Ultimately, they decided to follow in Naruto's footsteps and work together to achieve world peace. And Jiraiya, their great master, though gone, his teachings and spirit will forever remain in their hearts.
On a sunny day, three people were strolling leisurely down the road, chatting and laughing. Suddenly, they heard a whooshing sound overhead. Looking up, they saw a kunai with explosive tags attached falling from the sky like Inazuma, flying straight towards them!
The three were terrified and scattered in all directions. The kunai grazed past them and slammed into the ground, instantly causing a violent explosion. Dust flew and smoke filled the air. The three were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their hearts raced.
As the smoke cleared, they discovered that in an open area not far away, Hanzo of the Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Ninja Village, was engaged in a fierce battle with three Konoha ninja. Swords clashed, Hanabi flew, and the two sides exchanged blows, neither giving an inch.
Only then did they realize that the kunai they had just seen had been thrown out during the battle. Meanwhile, Amegakure had become the main battlefield of the three great nations, a place of constant warfare and widespread suffering.
Back at their lodgings, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan were heavy-hearted. They knew that to survive in such a chaotic world, they had to become stronger. So, they resolved to learn ninjutsu from the three Konoha ninja who had fought Hanzo of the Hanzo, and improve their own strength.
And so, the three resolutely embarked on a difficult journey to find the Three Legendary Sannin. Along the way, they encountered countless difficulties and challenges, but they never gave up. Finally, after going through all sorts of hardships, they finally met the Legendary Three Legendary Sannin.
However, when Jiraiya saw Nagato's Rinnegan, he was greatly surprised. The Rinnegan is a legendary eye technique, possessing immense power. Jiraiya realized that this child would definitely become a great ninja in the future!
During this time, Yahiko was saved by Nagato using the powerful Rinnegan at a critical moment. This miraculous ability deeply shocked Jiraiya, who realized that Nagato possessed extraordinary talent and potential.
In order to protect himself and better guide the three children's growth, Jiraiya decided to teach them ninjutsu. He imparted his knowledge and experience to Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan without reservation, hoping that they could become excellent ninjas.
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Jiraiya was very pleased Jiraiya see the progress his three children had made in ninjutsu. They were already able to independently handle various challenges, demonstrating great strength and potential. However, when Jiraiya decided to leave, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan felt extremely sad and reluctant to part with him.
Years later, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, now adults, founded the Akatsuki, with Yahiko at the helm. They were determined to change the world through peaceful means, rather than through extreme force. This ideal attracted many like-minded people to join, and the Akatsuki gradually grew in strength and became renowned throughout the ninja world.
Although Jiraiya was far away in Konoha, separated from them, he still occasionally heard about the Akatsuki's heroic deeds in several battles. These stories filled Jiraiya with pride and anticipation for their future.
However, during the development of the Akatsuki, the early Akatsuki encountered a huge crisis. At that time, Hanzo Rain Ninja Village, the leader of Amegakure, was influenced by Shimura Danzo and developed fear and anxiety towards Hanzo. He worried that the Akatsuki's growing power would threaten his position.
Therefore, Hanzo decided to use deception to deal with the Akatsuki. He fabricated a lie, attempting to put Yahiko and the others in a desperate situation. In that era of war, Rain Ninja Village was in a crucial position—it was located at the intersection of the three great nations of Fire, Wind, and Earth, making its strategic importance extremely significant. At this time, the Third Shinobi World War was raging.
To prevent Rain Ninja Village from being drawn into this brutal war, someone came up with a plan: to use the power of the three great nations of Fire, Wind, and Earth to propose a peace negotiation. This idea received support from some people, including Yahiko.
After much effort, they finally reached an agreement with the three major powers for talks. However, when they arrived at the meeting place, they were surprised to find that it was an elaborate trap! It turned out that Hanzo had already colluded with Danzō and set up a series of ambushes at the meeting place. Not only that, but Konoha's ANBU was also involved in this conspiracy.
Faced with such a desperate situation, Yahiko and the others were in grave danger. Just then, Hanzo resorted to a treacherous tactic—he used the life of Konan, a hostage he had captured beforehand, as leverage to force Nagato to kill Yahiko.
Yahiko knew how important Konan was to Nagato, and without hesitation, he made a decision: he was willing to sacrifice his life to save Konan. So, he resolutely said to Nagato, "Nagato, do it! Kill me and save Konan!"
Nagato felt as if a thousand poisonous insects were gnawing at his heart, causing him unbearable pain. His hands trembled slightly, and the kunai in his hands felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, making it almost impossible for him to lift it.
However, Yahiko's gaze was like a blazing ray of sunlight, piercing through the gloom in Nagato's heart. His eyes were filled with trust in Nagato and a steadfast commitment to peace, which Nagato could not escape.
"Nagato, you must believe in your own power and use your Rinnegan to change this world." Yahiko's voice echoed in Nagato's ears, like a clear spring, cleansing his soul.
Nagato a deep breath and finally slowly raised the kunai in his hand. His hand was still trembling, but his determination grew stronger.
Yahiko looked at Nagato, a slight smile appearing on his lips. It was a smile of relief, as if he had already seen through life and death. Without hesitation, he rushed towards Nagato's kunai, using his own body to block the fatal blow.
For a moment, time seemed to freeze. Nagato stared wide-eyed as Yahiko collapsed beside him, blood gushing from his body and staining the ground red.
Nagato felt as if his heart was being torn apart, and he let out a heart-wrenching cry. But Yahiko's body was gradually growing cold, and his eyes slowly closed, as he left this world forever.
Nagato knelt silently beside Yahiko, tears streaming down his face like a burst dam. He gently stroked Yahiko's face, feeling his last warmth.
After Yahiko's death, Nagato brought his body back to Amegakure. He used his ninjutsu to transform Yahiko's body into the Deva Path of the Six Paths of Pain, allowing him to inherit Yahiko's last wish for change and continue fighting for peace.
Nagato himself, disguised as "Pain," ruled Amegakure in the name of Yahiko, attempting to achieve his ideal of peace in his own way.
However, fate is always full of twists and turns. After a fierce battle between Nagato and Naruto, he finally fell to the ground, ending his short but magnificent life.
Konan silently gazed at Nagato and Yahiko's bodies, her heart filled with grief. She gently lifted their remains and carried them back to Amegakure, burying them in a peaceful place.
From then on, the story of Nagato and Yahiko became a legend in Amegakure, and their names were forever remembered. The peace they pursued became the goal that future generations strived for.
