Wish

"If it's possible, I would like Yahiko to accompany me. This should also increase the success rate of my mission." Nagato respectfully stats with a spark of hope in his eyes. It would be wounderfull for him to share some time with his friend, who had to die quite early. But on the same time he is afraid what Yahiko would think about his actions and if he could forgive him for betraying their dream. "But please don't force him to come with me. If he is happy in his afterlive, than he should stay their and will do the task alone."

"There is no need to force him. Every single moment since he died he looked forward to see you and Konan again. The paradox is that, he hoped to see you not as soon as possible but rather he hoped for you to live a long and fulfilled life. Even if this means that he won't be able to meet with you soon. So I think he will happily join you on your mission."

"I'm glad to hear that." While saying these words, he bowed deeply. "What else is on your mind? You seem to think about something", the elder inquires. "I just thought that it would be even better if Konan could join us two, because then we three could be finaly together again." "I see. Well there is no problem with that." At first Nagato is dumbfounded by this statement. Then his face turns pale and he asks with a trembling voice, "Does this mean she died? How? Why?" "Calm down", the old man sooths him, "The concept of time doesn't exist here. I can call the soul of Konan from the future here." "That would be very generous." "I also thought about sending Jiraiya with you three. So he can guide you properly this time" "Actually I am not sure about taking him along, because I fear that he has an grudge against me. At least I killed him and attaked Konoha. But if he is able to forgive me, than I would be really blessed, because with his guidance it will be easy as pie to finish your task and 'Team Jiraiya' would be finaly reunited." "To be honest Jiraiya was feeling quite bad about you. After all he had to leave you and couldn't take care for you. When he realized that he was fighting you and Konan in Amegakure, he felt quite sad, not because he feeled like you betrayed him, but because he felt that was his fault. He thought that it maybe it would have been better if he had taken you three to Konoha and raised you properly. If it wasn't for the war, which forced Jiraiya to leave, your story would be a total different one." "Then I would like to ask you to send also Jiraiya with Konan, Yahiko and me on this mission. I promise to fullfill the task with the help of the others."

"Good than I will call for the three and bring them here" After the Elder said so, three golden orbs despatch from his forehead. These orbs fly through the walls like the walls doesn't exist. A few seconds later three doors open. The doors were quite similar to the door Nagato used earlier. Each door is located in the center of a wall and has an animal painted on it. On Nagato's right side Jiraiya's soul enters through a door with a red phoenix on it. On the left side Yahiko's soul walks trough a door with a black turtle on it. Through the door in front of Nagato, which had a green dragon painted on it, Konan's soul floats into the room. Seeing the paintings Nagato realizes that they are an allusion to Feng Shui. After he realized that, he suddenly recognizes a tawny (yellow- brown) snake painted around the old man on the floor. While Nagato realized all of this, the three enter and their gazes wander through the room. An big smile appears on the face of the four, because they are finaly reunited. Seeing this the old man has to smile too. "Now that all of you are here. I would like explain the details of the task." "What task?" asked Jiraiya curiously.

So Nagato explained everything to the other three, while they sit down at the tables. After Nagato told them everything, Jiraiya asks, "How should we adress you, wise Elder?" "Just talk to me in a casual maner. After all you agreed to help me. So I'm quite gratefull towards you" "Than could you tell us what happend after our death? I would like to know if my death was worth it" This question doesn't only bother Jiraiya but the others as well. Seeing this the Elder calmy says, "It's easier and faster if I show you." After he finished speaking, again orbs appear out of his forehead. But in contrast to before there are now four orbs and they have an green color. The orbs float towards the four and sink in their foreheads.

The next moment a bright light appears and they are suddenly looking on the world from Naruto from bird-view. Then the voice of the Elder describded the events, which occured after Yahiko's death. The manipulation by Obito, the rearranging of the Akatsuki, the collecting of the tailed beasts, Pains attack of Konoha, Naruto's victory over Pain, Konan's death, the Fourth Shinobi World War, the fight against Kaguya, Naruto's and Sasuke's battle. Finaly peace decended on the Shinobi world. "But the Otsutsuki are still out there. They are a thread to the peace of this world. But don't worry Naruto and Sasuke and their descendants will be more than enough to deal with them."

After these final words the world around them changes again and they are back in the mysterious. "Thank you for showing us the future of our world. Now that we don't have to worry about our world, we can easily concentrate on the task", Nagato saiys and bows again. "Of course Naruto made it. At least he is one of my pupils." Jiraiya burst out with a proud smile on his face. "Then why did you want to see the future in the first place?", Konan mockingly asks. "Of course I just wanted to see how made it and not if he makes it", Jiraiya answers trying to pull his head out of this sling. But luckily for him the Elder intercepts Konan from pursing this topic by saying, "If you are now ready, I will give you the information about your task."
