Story of True Bond~

I have to admit, for so many years, I suffered many emotional distress, so many pains.... and all i ever thought top myself was, when will I be free of these feelings. Not to be kidding, i endured these feelings throughout five years, and five years I'm lost about who I'm. Truth is, till now, I'm not completely able to retrieve myself back, but at least, I gained consciousness. I'm in state of regaining myself, and I'm finally free of what's holding me back all along. All these happened after something happened to me of course, pain in exchange for good. What is it you ask? A broken bond it is~ =]

A story made me cry, not only because it's heart breaking, but because I can totally understand the pain of a bond being broken, and that the bonded will be separated into two different worlds, life and death that is. Haha, don't laugh at me, but it's a story I extracted from Naruto Shippuuden. It's a painful story of friendship between 3 best friends, that is Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, also a story that touches my heart the most.
Well, if you would like to hear me out.... =]

It started when the three of them became orphans due to war outbreak in their Rain village. Back then, they were only kids who were capable of nothing, until they met their master, Jiraiya sensei. By training with him, the three of them grew up and became stronger with their master noticing that they were capable of defending themselves. Knowing that, the three of them were left alone. Using their newly acquired skills, they not only wished to defend themselves from and war, but to bring peace between nations by negotiating and not violence. And so they started by volunteering to protect their village from invasion. At first, people scolded them for being stupid as such thing as peace doesn't exist, but the longer they performed their duty, the more trust they earned from people. Soon, an amount of people joined the trio in their mission towards peace, and the group was named "Akatsuki"(dawn), with Yahiko as the leader and Nagato and Konan as his right hand man.

From left, Konan, Yahiko and Nagato~

The motive of Akatsuki is widely spread and was well known by many other villages. Many see it as something good, but at the same time many do not believe in their organisation. Among those who didn't believe them was Hanzo from the Leaf village, so he planned to eliminate the leader to weaken the Akatsuki's will. He did so by first send his spies (ANBU black ops) undercover to attack the three of them by luring them out of their hideout. Not being the type to kill as he believed fighting may only cause more casualties, Yahiko demanded negotiation, but was ignored. Out of his consciousness, with a kunai on his hand, an enemy flew directly towards him and he reached his hand forward as a natural defense to protect himself, but that's when he sees his failure as a leader as he ended up killing a person. The attack ended when Nagato went berserk as his friends were being attacked and his power, Rinnegan, was awaken. Due to it's unbelievable power, the enemy retreated.

Nagato always regretted having to bear such power as he was afraid to hurt more people with it, but Yahiko and Konan see it in a different way. Konan believed that they can overcome his power together and use his power for the good of the their mission in retrieving peace, while Yahiko acknowledged it and saw his potential to be a better leader than he was. Yahiko once wanted Nagato to be leader as he was not over his guilt for killing a person, but Nagato felt they were only same as they both carry their own guilt for something. Yahiko also told Nagato that when a person does something for too long, he will end up forget why he starting doing that particular thing. Yahiko even told Konan that he knew Nagato is the one to complete their mission, as he possessed the Rinnegan by saying Nagato is the bridge in completing their mission, and he will become a pillar to support that bridge.

First and foremost Akatsuki member~

One night, while Konan was out on patrol to ensure the safety of the village till the next morning, Yahiko, Nagato and rest of the Akatsuki member was in their hideout, they received a letter from Hanzo stating that they too seek peace and wanted to cooperate with the Akatsuki, and a meeting will be held on the next day. Being overjoyed, Nagato and Yahiko accepted the offer and celebrated with their member the rest of the night. Out of their suspicion, Hanzo has kidnapped Konan to be held hostage during their meeting.

On the next day, while the rest of the member was asleep, Yahiko and Nagato went out without informing any of their member as they thought of no reason to bring an army to meet just a person. While they were out, one of the member woke up and immediately felt danger upon those two who went out, and woke the rest of the members up to give a chase, but on their way, they were blocked by two strong enemies, Zetsu and Tobi and all of them were unfortunately slaughtered by them. When Yahiko and Nagato reached the place were the meeting should take place, they were surprised that Hanzo brought an army and was holding Konan infront of him with a kunai pointed at her neck. Hanzo threw a kunai infront of Nagato and Yahiko with a condition, that is Nagato is to stab Yahiko with that knife, or Konan will die. Konan ordered Nagato not to move and asked them to flee, but then Yahiko thundered and ordered Nagato to just pick up the kunai and kill him. With his eyes bulged and not knowing what to do, Nagato picked up the kunai in true confusion, lifted his head up and looked and Konan, mentioning her name softly between his lips, and then mentioning Yahiko's name while he turned his head to his left to look him, but to Nagato's surprise, and to everyone's surprise, Yahiko dashed forward towards Nagato and stabbed himself with the kunai Nagato was holding. At his dying moments, he told Nagato that he will now be the leader of the organisation and that he and Konan have to be alive no matter what it takes and to be there for each other. This stirred Nagato and he was outraged, causing him to lose control and unleashed his monstrous power, killing almost everyone in order to retrieve Konan and to safe her while keeping Yahiko by his side the whole time, hoping to save him. That was when Hanzo realised that though Yahiko was the true leader of Akatsuki, but Nagato was considered as a leader behind the scenes. As Hanzo's man were all killed, he escaped Nagato's final attack and vanished. Nagato always had a risk when using his power, that is when he over used it, he may die. When he saved Konan, Konan ordered him to stop, but it was the first time Nagato ignored her. After Hanzo vanished, Nagato and Konan went to Yahiko's side to save him, but it was too late. Yahiko died and both of them were left alone.

After a painful broken of bond, Zetsu and Tobi told Nagato of a plan of world's peace in a way that no peace can be achieve without pain, and that pain is created by war, so a war is necessary for peace. As having a vengeful heart, Nagato and Konan promised to join them and slowly becoming evil without them realizing. Just like what Yahiko told Nagato before, when a person does something for too long, he may end up forgetting why he starting doing it. When the four of them joined forces, using one of the power of his Rinnegan, Nagato resurrected Yahiko's corpse by piercing rods containing a power which allows Nagato to control the body while Nagato will be in hideouts controling him. When he summoned Yahiko's body towards him and Konan, he told Yahiko "You will always be the leader".

That's also the reason why the leader of the truly evil Akatsuki with alot of piearcing is named Pain and that no one knows his true name, because this one that appear before all members of the Akatsuki is really Yahiko while the real pain is actually Nagato.

Okay that's it. Maybe this story maybe damn boring since I'm not good at writing, but still it touched my soul because i have experienced something like this, not that terrible though, but it involves death. I just wanted to share this out for nothing haha, but i hope you guys enjoy... =')
