Hidan

Here I am. Still deep inside this fucking hole with numerous rubbles continuously pressing on my face. It's been a long time since my defeat of that brat and yet I still can't believe that bastard had beaten me. I still remember how he ripped my body apart with those explosive tags. Just the thought of it pisses me off. No matter, once I'm out of here, I'll find that pineapple headed brat and sacrifice him and his entire family to Lord Jashin.

Now, time to start digging again. I opened my mouth and started munching on the nearby dirt. It must have been a few days now since I started eating my way out of this hellhole. Having no limbs and even a torso to dig my way up is a whole new level of hassle. Everything still hurts. The tight space around me seems to halt my regenerative ability and so far, I had only regrowed my neck. That bastard Kakuzu sure must be having the time of his life now that I'm gone. He didn't even bother to look for me after killing those damn brats. At least I hope he did. If he died too, It would be another hassle to report our loss to Pain.

After a few hours of digging, I stopped myself to take a bit of rest. I spit out the dirt inside my mouth and I could have even feel something wiggling inside. Stupid worms.

Suddenly, everything started shaking. "What the hell?" I muttered as I saw the ground I'm on has started shaking. It took a few minutes before it stopped but then it came back and this time, I was forcefully blasted away from underneath the ground. My head went flying up in the air before tumbling at the hard surface like bowling bowl.

Huh. Freedom at last. Not what I had in mind on how I'll be able to get out of that hole but this works for me either way. I looked around and all I can see is devastation. The once luscious forest I remembered is now a barren wasteland. The place is completely devoid of plant life.

What the hell happened here?

I looked at the sky and was immediately surprised to see it blood red and a freaky looking sharingan on display on where the moon should be. Once I looked at the gigantic eye, I feel a massive chakra overloading my senses. It feels like it's forcefully entering inside me. I could feel reality changing before me as I suffer.

This...is genjutsu. No, not just one but multiple genjutsus.

I slowly focused my chakra to dispel the numerous genjutsus. It took awhile but I was able to dispel all of them. I averted my gaze from the sharingan moon realizing that all those genjutsus had originated from that thing.

I'm safe for now. And also...a few moments later, my body has started to completely regenerate. First came the bones, the muscles and lastly the skin. I slowly stood up and looked at myself. Finally whole again. I smiled but then frowned when I notice that I'm completely naked.

Great. Oh well, time to look for my clothes. I took a few hours but I was able to find my previous body. The akatsuki cloak is beyond destroyed. Konan is so gonna be pissed about this. At least my pants are still intact. It may have a few holes but it's better than nothing. Plus, my shinobi sandals are fine as well. Without further ado, I quickly put on my clothes or what's left of it anyways.

After putting on my clothes, I saw my scythe nearby. I quickly ran towards it however, I saw that it's badly damaged. The two upper blades have been destroyed and now only has one at the bottom. It actually look more like a sickle now. Well, beggars can't be choosers they say.

Now that I have everything I need, I started running towards the direction of amegakure. Any normal human would have been lost with thus wreckage lying around however, being part of akatsuki basically requires each member to memorize the map of the elemental nations. So even if the place where I'm at is barely recognizable, I still know where I am.

As I continued running, I noticed the number of bodies lying around the ground. I saw their clothes and immediately noted that they are shinobi. However, I also noticed that each of them have different uniforms. I saw the white ones that symbolizes the hidden cloud customs, the red ones from the hidden rock, the brown jonin jacket from hidden sand, and even the ones from hidden leaf.

All of them seems to had died from a fight or maybe from a massive battle. Did a war just broke out? What could have caused it? I looked at the corpses for awhile and noticed their headbands. The metal plate is carved with a word "shinobi". In fact, all of the corpses had a headband of the same logo.

This is...impossible. This logo. It could only mean that the entire shonobi nations had united into one banner. Did...did Pain actually did it?

I stood there shock as I processed at what I discovered. All those meetings with him spouting nonsense about peace. To be honest, I didn't believe it one bit knowing that guy is an obvious lunatic... Ahem...

I only joined him for the protection the akatsuki can give me whenever I did my daily rituals. But to think, that he can actually did it...

Wait, I turned my head and quickly hid myself when I suddenly heard something. I hid inside the nearby bush and started to wait. A few moments later, I saw two humanoid things walking right in front of me. I was about to note that it's just maybe a passing shinobi however, I did a double take when I noticed their forms. Both of them are completely white and are as naked as they come however, their bodies looked like it was molded in clay and had a noticeable sharingan eyes that eerily looks the same as the sharingan moon. They had multiple limbs with each one not even looked remotely balanced.

In short, they look like an abomination.

What the hell are those things?
