Paths Converge

Standing at the gates, Naruto raised his head and observed a person floating in the air, resembling a legendary angel. The woman had light blue and lavender hair, with a ball adorning the top of her head. White wings spread behind her, and she wore a black coat featuring a burning cloud pattern. Despite the concealment, her figure appeared graceful and captivating. This ethereal figure was none other than Konan, often referred to as an angel.

Prior to entering Amegakure, Naruto had already expanded his perceptual field, surpassing even the capabilities of Byakugan within a one-kilometer radius. As he approached, he spotted Konan in the sky and a six-person group yet to appear on the tower.

In the presence of Konan, Naruto's casual demeanor remained unaffected by her cold and threatening expression. In response to her inquiry, he nonchalantly spread his hands and replied, "Instead of looking for you, I was actually searching for Pain, or rather, Nagato."

At that moment, a group of six figures rushed out from the top of the tower behind Konan, surrounding Naruto. Each of them had peculiar facial adornments, black sticks strategically placed around their features, giving them an unconventional appearance. Naruto couldn't help but grin, recognizing them as the Paths of Pain controlled by Nagato.

This encounter set the stage for a meeting with Nagato, the one Naruto sought in Amegakure. As Naruto disclosed the existence of the Six Paths of Pain and boldly revealed Nagato's identity, Pain was dispatched to conduct an interrogation. Naruto, confident and unruffled, suggested a less grandiose reception, asserting that he could have come to them. The atmosphere crackled with tension as the meeting between Naruto and the enigmatic figures of Amegakure unfolded.

Nagato, assuming the role of "God" in Amegakure, confronted Naruto, probing into his identity and purpose. Despite the tension, neither side immediately engaged in conflict, both displaying confidence in their strengths.

Naruto, with candid transparency, responded to Nagato's inquiries. He unveiled his extensive knowledge of Akatsuki's actions and dropped a bombshell revelation about Nagato's Uzumaki lineage. The fact that Nagato's Rinnegan was obtained through eye replacement surgery, unbeknownst to him, left both Nagato and Konan surprised.

As Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki from Konoha Village, claimed to know Akatsuki's goals, the revelation left Konan bewildered. Naruto, maintaining a serious demeanor, expressed his intention to save them from Uchiha Madara's manipulation. He declared that he had already dealt with Uchiha Madara, raising the stakes of the encounter.

The exclamation of "What did you say?" echoed in the air, their surprise palpable. Despite being in their thirties, Naruto's audacious declaration seemed to challenge their maturity. Unfazed, Naruto shook his head, maintaining his confident demeanor. He proposed a surprising turn of events, declaring himself their new boss.

"So, don't be surprised. It's settled. I'll be your boss. How about we turn the Ninja World upside down? What do you think?" Naruto's proposition hung in the air, a bold challenge that shifted the power dynamics.

Konan, finally regaining composure, descended from the sky with a solemn expression. She stared at Naruto, questioning, "Do you treat us as a terrorist organization?" The stage was set for a tense negotiation, as Naruto's audacious plan unfolded before Akatsuki's leaders.

The cunning and unapologetic Naruto asserts his presence with a sneer, reminding Konan and Nagato of their past actions and the inevitable conflict with the Five Great Ninja Villages. His provocative words, particularly addressing Konan as "sister," add a layer of calculated taunting. Naruto's demeanor remains unapologetic, and he dismisses any attempt at righteousness from his opponents.

Konan, frustrated by Naruto's attitude and likely still reeling from the news of Uchiha Madara's death, retorts sharply. His deliberate use of familial terms seems to be a particular sore point for her.

Nagato, displaying a more composed demeanor, questions Naruto's trustworthiness. In a swift response, Naruto's azure blue eyes transform into the Rinnegan, a visual manifestation of his formidable power. The summoning of a colossal Susanoo adds an extra layer of awe and intimidation, the towering figure exuding a divine and ancient presence.

Hovering above the Susanoo's forehead, Naruto peers down at Nagato through a hole in its form. With a smirk, he acknowledges possessing the Rinnegan and challenges Nagato with a rhetorical question, "I have these eyes, too. Are they enough?" The display serves as both a demonstration of his immense power and a subtle challenge, leaving the atmosphere charged with tension.
