Introductions

"This is where we'll be living for the next few years eh?" Yahiko muttered under his breath, looking up at my Apartment

It wasn't all that great, it was cheap and it was perfect for at least 2 people. 2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, and a small backyard. As soon as I saw the place, I said yes so fast even Yes-Man would eat his tongue

I had a wide grin on my face "Yep! That is if you still want to continue living with me?" I narrowed my eyes at them ominously

"Nonono, I thought we would be living in someplace smaller, like someplace with one room and no kitchen, you know?" He said quickly. He's gonna need to figure out when I'm messing with him and when I'm not because I'm sure as hell not gonna tell him when

"Good, well then lets head inside" With that I unlocked the door and entered. The living room was quite spartan - A single couch and a Bookshelf lined with various scrolls, with a little bit of artwork on the walls being the only thing in there. The kitchen was the same way, since I needed to prepare myself to leave Ame I needed to be as light as possible. I convinced Shinji and Nanami to do the same, my reasoning making sense to them as well. They were also my neighbors, which was fantastic. It seemed like the whole building was only occupied with one or two people, so all 3 of us bought an apartment here.

"Wow, this place is kind of empty isn't it?" Nagato said to Chibi, who barked in affirmative

"Yep, this place needs to have as little as possible in it if we are gonna travel light when we escape Ame, My teammates also live right beside me which makes this place the perfect spot to leave from when it happens. It also helps that this building is right on the outskirts of the city" I explained to them, all of whom nodded in understanding

I went over to the center of the room and sat down, motioning the 3 to sit down in front of me.

"Ok! Lets introduce ourselves, shall we? I'll go first" I started with a wry grin "My name is Uzumaki Jack, Orphan. My mother died giving birth to me and from what I gathered from sources, my father died in the First War" I was kind of getting sad wasn't I? Lets try and fix that "My hobbies are to Train, Compose art, and Cloud-Watch, I like my teammates, Shinji and Nanami, and Sealing. My favorite foods consist of Pizza, Pasta, and Shells and Cheese, Nobody messes with my Shells and Cheese" I narrowed my eyes at them, and they nodded repeatedly, starting to sweat " I dislike dictators, pricks who think they know everything about anything, and just general assholes, and my dream is to become the most powerful person in the world" I finished it off with a sagely nod

I kind of needed to become the most powerful person in the world because of many reasons, many of which stem from Madara, Kaguya, and the Otsutsuki Clan.

Yahiko went next "Well uh, my name is Yahiko, no last name, and also an Orphan like you Jack-Senpai. My hobbies include training, and playing pranks on the people who don't give me food" I laughed at that "I like my friends, people who are nice to the unfortunate, and people who help other people out, even when they didn't have to" he looked me in the eyes for that last one, and I just smiled "My favorite food? Sweets! Especially Pocky! I dislike Ignorant people and assholes, and my dream is for the world to understand each other" He finished with a large grin, I'll take note to buy him some pocky once we're out of Ame

Konan was next up "Uhm, well my name is Konan, no last name, and also an Orphan like Yahiko and you Jack-Kun" Kun? Already? "My hobbies are Origami and Flower Pressing, My likes are the same as Yahiko's" Ah, I see. It's because I took her in and gave her a place to stay, I guess that's fine, though she'll have to wait a bit if we're going to start anything, Definitely not starting a relationship with a 5 year old, no matter how many Loli-Cons out there tell me to "My favorite food is Flame-Broiled Fish, I dislike Kaarage, Ignorant people, and people who insult my beliefs. And my dream is to become a strong Kunoichi" She was humble, that's good

I'm going to need to figure out how she did her Paper Ninjutsu, that stuff was pretty scary. I mean 600 Billion Explosive tags disguised as a LAKE?? That's pretty bad-ass not gonna lie

Nagato was silent for a second, staring at me, before asking a question I never thought he would

"You're an Uzumaki?"

'FINALLY' "Yeah, I know you are too, judging from that Red hair too" I told him, he looked shocked when I said that first bit, but calmed a bit when I said the other half

"Do you know about..." He trailed, looking to the side

"Your eyes? Yep, all about them" I told him, he whipped his head up, and looked at me again. I could feel his emotions from here, and I didn't even know Ninpo

"Really?! What is the name of it? Are there any cool powers? Will you tell me?????" He spouted off. He really wanted to know what they were eh?

"Well, to answer your questions, They are called the Rinnegan, and they consist of 6 different 'Paths' or Powers with an extra Outer path. They are named the Deva, Asura, Animal, Human, Preta, and Naraka Paths. The Deva path allows you to control Gravity" They looked curious at that

"Asura allows you to weaponize your body, turning it into a mechanized version of itself" Yahiko let out a "WHAT?" at that

"Animal lets you summon various different types of animals, though I have no idea if you need multiple contracts or not." Konan looked intrigued at that, I agree - So many different types of sage mode, yummy

"Human path allows you to suck the souls out of your opponents body and view their memories" They all looked a bit green at that, me as well, not because of the soul thing, but because it's basically a Dementor with Chakra - That's quite scary if you think about it

"Preta path allows you to suck chakra out of an incoming Jutsu and use it to power yourself up. And Finally the Naraka path allows you to summon the king of hell and interrogate people, as well as revive a person who has recently died" Nagato looked sad at that. Me too, I wanted to revive my mom and talk to her but I just have to accept that she is dead, Nagato too.

"How do you know all of this?" Konan questioned "Your eyes don't seem all that different to me, so how would you know about all of that?"

I just grinned and activated my Sharingan, which made all three of them gasp in surprise

"I was looking for stuff about my Ocular bloodline and I found a few dusty scrolls about the Rinnegan and I was intrigued. Though I had to burn them afterwards, they had some info that would not have been good in someone like Hanzo's hands"

They all accepted my reasoning easy enough, and the room fell into a quick silence for a moment before Nagato muttered something

"Can you help me train them?" he asked

"Hmm? What was that?"

"Can you help me train them? I want to be strong. Strong enough to protect those close to me, and defeat those who try and harm me or my friends" He said louder, staring straight into my eyes. His hair moved a bit to show his Rinnegan eyes, and I could see the steel in them.

I gave a wry smile, laid a hand on his shoulder, stared straight into his eyes, and gave him one word

"Sure"

And with that he tackled me into a hug, sobbing his eyes out

'Well then, I didn't expect that' I thought to myself
