The fate of life remains the same.

On the outskirts of Kiri where Drogo had arrived to wait for Obito as he had been instructed. Nowhere to be seen yet, he waited a few minutes which turned to an hour.

Why is he late? He's never late did something happen? Drogo thought to himself when *Woosh* *Clank* a kunai thrown at his back had been deflected by him

"Nice to see you haven't lost your touch boy" Obito arrived as Drogo looked back

"Was that necessary and you made me wait an hour" annoyed by his mentor's lack of punctuation

"Well I saw a black cat on the way so had to take a different route," he said

"The fuck you mean take a different route? You can use your kumai to instantly get here. You liar you ain't even good at making excuses" which got me a fist on the head.

"Now now manners boy. I'm still your sensei and today you'll be officially joining the Akatsuki. Now remember I may be the leader of it but you'll be calling pain as the leader since he manages everything" giving him a nod we both vanished from there to a faraway place in a dimly lit room

Seriously what's their fascination with dimly lit rooms and caves. it's like they can't find anyplace else to live in Drogo thought to himself

"You've finally arrived Madara and this must be Drogo," a figure sitting on a chair with his back to us said while a woman stood next to her and looked pretty young. Squinting my eyes even with the room barely lit I could see her appearance as she was looking at me she had straight blue hair with a bun, grey eyes with lavender eye shadow, and labret piercings she also had a large light blue paper flower clipped on her bun. Her face, however, had a very neutral expression

Her eyes are the same as mine. She lost someone very important to her but still different from mine. No, hers are only half lost with life someone she loves still lived but either is sick or does not care for her Drogo thought to himself

"Yes Pain this is Drogo and he'll be joining the Akatsuki I'm sure you can help him with his eyes as well," Obito told him who was now known as Pain

"Help me help me how exactly. I thought you were stronger than him why would I need to learn from hi...." Drogo froze as the figure turned around meeting his eyes.

"You how you have the same ringed eyes as mine. You have rinnegan. Oi Madara, you never told me the leader of Akatsuki had rinnegan"

"You never asked boy so I never told you," he said

"You can be such an ass sometimes, Ouch what was that for idiot, Ouch stop hitting me damn it" Drogo roared

"Stop being such a foul mouth in front of your sensei brat"

"Tch whatever so what he's gonna train me now btw Mr pain that's not your real body is it"

I asked curiously

Silence everyone just froze apparently no one had expected that I would know it "How did you know I'm not the real body" Pain asked in his monotone voice

"Well since we both have the same eyes I can tell that you now have a black receiver inside you. So it's not a real body. I may be 8 but I'm no idiot"

"As expected of the son of Sanin Tsuna-" before he could finish it Obito spoke up "Don't" "de" *BOOM* the fourth gate opened an immense amount of chakra burst out and without a warning Drogo was in mid air right in front of pain "Detroit Smash" with all his power he smashed into him or at least he thought he did as his attack was softened by thousands of papers which the women next to Pain just used

Drogos killing intent didn't vanish and he ignored the killing intent the blue-haired women was giving out While Pain simply stared in his eyes

"Don't ever mention her name or call me her son when I'm present. I have no mother I only had a sister." boosting his killing intent again overpowering the women by miles which she showed a shocked expression to before he took his killing intent back

"I told you not to mention her name in the same room with the boy Pain. He's not good with his emotions" Obito beckoned

"My apologies boy I didn't know you hated her that much" pain said which totally looked like he didn't mean it as his voice was monotone

"There is nothing in this world that I hate more than her. I will destroy everything she loves one day" gritting his teeth Drogo calmed himself moving back to his original place next to Obito

Oddly enough the blue-haired women was still staring at him like he was some kind of prize which didn't exactly match with her facial expression since it was neutral

"We've all had all had our share of past that's why we'll be making a new world and only with pain could that be achieved," pain said

Oddly enough Obito's real goal was infinite Tsukuyomi while pains goal was to end wars using violence and capturing all the tailed beasts. Honestly, Drogo liked pains plan but he was too naive too soft trying to make only Akatsuki the strongest by dissolving other ninja nations. For him that would never work only by eliminating chakra and all shinobies and the main villages will there be true peace. He looked for peace where bastards would not be blamed where pillaging, Rape, Drugs and gambling would not be protected

"For now boy go rest tomorrow you'll meet with the Akatsuki, for now, Konan will show you to your room" waving his hand while the women now identified as Konan signalled me to follow her

The building was pretty big and guess the room were far apart as we had been walking for a min already. It didn't help that none of us spoke on the way and it was getting awkward

Finally, as another minute passed she finally spoke: "Why do you hate her so much?" so that's what was on her mind

"Becuase she killed my sister" replying back in a neutral voice which she could guess as me trying to hide my emotions

"I've had someone I love killed before that's why we do what we are doing at the Akatsuki but your hate is too deep and immense for a little boy even bigger than mine who lost her parents and lover" she softly said reminiscing about the past

"You and I are not the same and we never will be. You might have lost your parent and lover but your eyes still have that spark to live and protect someone. The way you looked at pain would tell me you care about him. For me, my sister was the only one I cared for and lived for. As for that women she never considered us her children to her we were only bastards born through rape. She took that one thing I lived for and wanted to protect. Now I have nothing to live for nor to protect"

Shocked by me being able to tell her so much by reading her eyes and about my life.

"You still have Madara isn't he your sensei who taught you well?'

I sneered back at her "Sensi fuck that sense, Ouch what the heck?"

"Language boy just cause Madara isn't around does not mean you can speak such words"

"Damn it why does everyone like to hit my head. I'm gonna have bumps on my head because of all of you" I muttered under my breath "Anyway where was I oh yeah he's only my sensei because I am of use to him for his plans. I'm just a tool for him to use which I don't really mind as long as he can give me the strength for me to crush Konoha and that women"

Finally arriving at my room I bid her goodbye as I was about to enter the room her voice came from behind "Boy here at Akatsuki we try to be a family. Perhaps you'll find your family here" she ruffled my hair and started walking away

Damn it first mei and now here. What with them wanting to give me a family. My only family died and others would simply drag me down but still why do I feel so conflicted. I can't be a family to them or Mei I have to focus on revenge. Sigh finally entering my room and going to sleep

The next day waking up I had breakfast and then Obito came to pick me up. An hour of training with him and teaching me a few more varieties of taijutsu he taught me a few more ninjutsu mainly C rank this time since I had already learnt to use all the D rank ninjutsu without using any hand seals

"Let's go, boy, Pain is waiting for you. I'll drop you off to where he is and leave since no one knows who I am apart from Pain and Konan"

Onito told me and we both vanished

Of course, it would be a bloody cave what did I expect an open field. It's like this is their fetish Drogo mused

"You've finally arrived boy," pain said as Obito took his leave

"Did you sleep, well lad?" Konan asked as I arrived next to her

"I thought you were incapable of talking and caring about others, Ouch stop pinching my cheeks what the hell Ow ow ow okay sorry" rubbing my red cheek I said

Konan seems to have taken a liking to the boy I guess that's good she always did love kids epically orphans who had no one. Pain thought to himself while staring at the women and the child

After a few minutes of waiting the large boulder on the cave opened and men with large black cloaks and red clouds entered with and on a small guy who looked like a hunchback with a long scorpion tail had a person wrapped around his tail. The figure was wearing red and funny enough had a red beard as well

"We've got the five-tailed jinchuriki, pain," a blue coloured man said who had sharp teeth. He probably was one of the seven swordsmen of the mist

"Orochimaru betrayed us he wanted Itachi's eyes but got his hand chopped off" the hunchback spoke in a thick voice

"I told you we never should have let him join us. Should've let me kill him back then" he spoke again

"What's done is done now. Let's extract the tailed beast from him now" pain said

"Who's that little thing next to you" a man who had tendrils or hairs rather than his eyeballs spoke.

Talk about being creepy. Certainly, need to stay away from that guy Drogo thought to himself

"This is our newest recruit Drogo Starblaze" Pain plainly said

"I didn't know we let even kids join these days. What's this brat doing here? He looks weak" the shark person said Before drawing his sword

"Damn kid you're fast" he had to block an attack which launched with my sword as his and mine connected

"Your reflexes are not half bad yourself" I jumped back as he went through hand seals "Water style: water bullets" which I copied and sent the jutsu back at him both hitting each other and dispersing away

Getting ready for another jutsu the shark-man was about to go through his hand seals when a calm voice said "Stop it Kisame the boy has eyes like the sharingan. He can copy all your jutsu"

Looking at the new voice I saw his eyes change from tomoe to a new shape which looked identical to a shuriken but with only three sides.

"That is enough Itachi your genjutsu will not work on him. His eyes are the same as mine but stronger. The boy is young but filled with potential" Pains voice echoed from the back

Itachi's eyes reverted back to the three tomoe and I looked at him in confusion. He was the third person with sharingan I had met in all my life. Madara and Obito being the first and second. He seemed like a harmless person

Pain beckoned towards me and we walked deep inside the cave with others following behind me

Deep in the cave, I saw a massive statue which Pain explained to me is a kind of storage for the tailed beast.

We went on with the procedure and Pain taught me how to extract the tailed beast as I helped him do it. The man screamed in pain but honestly, I felt nothing for him.

Extraction went well and everyone dispersed waiting for the next mission while Konan brought me back to where I stayed.

"How did you find your first-day Drogo?" she asked as we were walking back

"It seems fun the shark-man looked cool and I totally wanna fight him. His sword gave a weird feeling as well. That hunchback man was a puppet since I could see the real one inside. The tendril guy was the most creepy guy I've ever seen he had like 5 hearts and I really don't wanna be around him. The sharingan guy Itachi looked like a nice person tho. I'd like to ask him more about sharingan" I kept rambling on and she kept listening

"Looks like you enjoyed yourself boy" she smiled at me it was very small but she did

"I certainly did not I hated it" I shot back at her. One thing I hated was being told that I enjoyed something I showed dissatisfaction too. Childish as it may be I was still technically a child.

"Admit it you liked it" "I certainly did not Konan, Ow what was that for"

"Call me big sis-Konan boy" "Konan seems just fine, Ouch damn it stop flicking my forehead" "Call me big sis Konan," she said sternly

"Big sis Konan" I muttered under my breath to which she ruffled my hair. Honestly, what's with these women making me call them big sisters when I didn't even want one. Why is it that my own mother didn't want me yet these try to give me a family. But this feeling of being loved I can get used to maybe this place can be my new family and maybe not all ninjas are bad. Infinite Tsukuyomi or pains plan either of them might not be a bad choice as long as I'm with them. Obito I know you care for me even if you won't show much

Days went by which turned into months and then a whole year. A whole year had passed since her death and I had now turned 9

In these several years, many things happened. I had gotten close to Akatsuki member and even went on some missions with them

Kisame was a cool shark guy. He had massive amounts of chakra almost as much as a tailed beast. He was like those could bodyguards who taught you awesome stuff. His sword was called Samehada and it ate chakra. Funny enough when he tried to eat my chakra it didn't work. He told me his sword said I had too much malice in my chakra and it didn't like its taste. Haha, who'd have thought swords had preferences. Apparently, his sword wasn't a big fan of mine as well it felt scared of Darkheart which was probably Whites doing. He taught me some cool C rank and a few B rank water jutsus

Speaking of white in these several months I had met him and he taught me a new ability called cero and two of its stronger forms. Gran Rey Cero was if I mixed my blood with the normal zero it would create a very strong blast and at a very high speed. He told me it could rival or possibly even overtake tailed beast bomb. The second variation was Cero Oscuras which I could only use in my released from if I released the chakra from my tattoo. He said this had the potential to level cities down easily and multiple if I say so myself. But I wasn't allowed to use it as first only when my body grows strong and I grow up can I release my chakra secondly a single attack from it will render me immobile for the day.

The next person was Sasori who didn't talk much at the start and was a cold person but slowly through month opened up and was impressed by the number of chakra strings I could use. He taught me how to make puppets and even a few medical ninjutsu followed by poisons. Hidden weapons were his speciality

Kakuzu was someone I simply avoided the man simply killed his partners every mission and take his heart. Yea I never interacted with him. He was the creepiest of them all.

Itachi Uchiha a man I had come to deeply respect. He was a man of few words but was really kind to me. He taught me all about sharingan and awesome genjutsus he really was good with genjutsu. Honesty he was the best at genjutsu and I learned a lot from him. He said I reminded him of his little brother and told me his story of how he killed his own clan and I told him mine. But I never told anyone my mother's name I didn't want to remember her. Out of respect for him, I started calling him big brother Itachi

I'm such a weirdo making everyone my brother and sister but I've come to like these people and treat them as my family just like they do to me now

Obito was still the same as ever he would still come to train me as always teaching me new stuff and help me with anything. He was my first sensei and I did come to respect him even admiring him

Pain was my second sensei he was not that bad once you got through him. I got to meet his real body who was called Nagato. He was a skinny person due to him spreading his chakra to his six pains. He taught me all about rinnegan that he knew. I learned to better control my Deva path which controlled repulsion and attraction. Making my almighty push even stronger. Apparently, I could only get a hand of petra path and the animal path, though the animals I summoned were small for now as my eyes were still developing

The world outside had also known my name. They called me Absolom the brings of chaos. Ironically the name came from the bloody mist and became very popular. An 8-year-old kid with strength rivalling at least jonin or high chunin but his skills made him deadly. Blond hair with ringed eyes.

Perhaps the most comfortable I felt around was Konan. She was always nice to me. Even brought me breakfast and ate with me. She told me her story and well she already knew mine. Honestly, she was really growing on me and I liked having her company. I accepted her as my big sister and she smiled a lot as well compared to before. Even going so far as teaching me her paper ninjutsu which was awesome. I had come to love my new family. Well like them but love Konan as my family. Sometimes when I had nightmares she would sleep while hugging me. Damn I've become a softie

"Is it ready Pain" Obito appeared in Pains room and asked

"Yes it's ready but are you sure you want to go through this Madara?" pain asked

"It must be done Pain. Such power cannot be controlled so this must be done" he stated

"Very well its time then" they both nodded and Obito disappeared

"Oh man I'm bored Obito told me he had a special mission today and he's keeping me waiting," I said as Obito appeared before me

"Boy let's go" without waiting for my reply we both vanished and came into the cave we always were in

"Wow what's the hurry" "Follow me and you'll know" " Yeah be all cryptic about it totally suits you"

Bringing me to an open space he suddenly vanished and then it happened

"Boy get out of here now. Hurry run its a trap" white spoke to me in a desperate and urgent voice.

My mind had gone blank. Trap? how could there be a trap why would Obito trap me? As I tried to run but froze as I couldn't move

"What the fuck is going on Madara what did you do to me and why do I feel weak" I snarled

Slowly figures appeared around me. Pain, Itachi, Konan, Kisame, Kakuzu, Sasori, Hidan and Deidara. The two new members

"Pain what the fuck is this what is going on. Big sis Konan brother Itachi what are you doing to me" desperation could be heard in my voice

"I'm sorry boy but you are an anomaly. Your power is too strong to be controlled and your ideas are different from ours. We wanted to kill you at first but it seems you already were dead. Since you have no heart. You have become something else and this was the only way. This is a seal that we came up with over the year it will seal you in another dimension slowing the time by a lot. While forming seals on each one of us. Unless all of us die the seal can't be broken. Eternal slumber as you will' he spoke in his monotone voice

"What? WHAT! is this a joke this has to be right? Come on stop it this ain't funny aren't we family. Big sis isn't we family and bro Itachi you said you'd keep me safe. Why aren't you moving WHY AREN'T YOU STOPPING THIS! I bellowed at them making Konan flinch

"This is no joke boy this is for the better of the world. The world does not need you" pain spoke as they all raised their fingers and started the jutsu

Slowly from my legs started to vanish making its way upwards

I stood there frozen eyes wide open. "You said we were family, Big Sis. You said you'll always be there for me you'll never betray my you lied you lied you lied YOU LIED" tears down my face as I locked my eyes with her and she flinched badly almost stopping before Pain shouted "KONAN" to which she resumed

"So it was all a lie everything that you said was a lie each one of you. Didn't I remind you of your brother Itachi? You said you'd protect me from any harm. It was a lie. A LIE!. Kisame you said you'd be my friend so that was a lie. A LIE!. Pain no Nagato you said I remained you of your dead friend was that a lie as well. Of course, it was everything was a lie. A motherfucking lie." I said

"Ahahahahahahahahahahahaah HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA EVERYTHING YOU ALL SAID WAS A LIE. I WAS BETRAYED AGAIN BY THE PEOPLE I HAD COME TO TRUST. BIS SISTER WHAT A JOKE. I ONLY EVER HAD ONE SISTER AND SHE DIED ALL OF THIS WAS FAKE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" tears and snot coming down my face as I laugh cynically. A laugh full of pain and betrayal yet again.

Konan couldn't take it and closed her eyes. So she wouldn't spill any tears. She truly loved the child but Nagato was her best friend and she couldn't betray him. If she knew this would happen to him she never would've been his friend.

And then he stopped laughing and a surge of the most malice-filled chakra can't from him. None had ever felt a chakra so filled with malice. None of the tailed beasts could accomplish it not even humans could do it. They knew the boy had finally lost it. There was no coming back from this betrayal

As his body kept vanishing. "You all better pray. Pray at night and in the morning that I don't ever escape from there. PRAY THAT I NEVER ESCAPE BECAUSE I PROMISE YOU WHEN I DO I WILL BURN YOU SHINOBIES. BURN THEM ALL TO THE GROUND. YOU WILL NO TRUE FEAR THEN I WILL SHOW YOU THAT FEAR I WILL RUIN EVERYTHING YOU'LL ALL EVER LOVE to CRUSH THEM TO DUST. BE THAT BE YOUR WIFE YOUR PARENTS YOUR KIDS ALL OF THEM WILL KNOW CHAOS. PRAY THAT I DON'T FIND ANY OF YOU OR I PROMISE YOU'LL WISH TO DIE WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU ALL. KONAN I HATE YOU I HATE YOU FOR MAKING ME FEEL LOVED I CURSE YOU WITH ALL MY SOUL. YOU'LL NEVER FIND HAPPINESS. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhahahahahah......."

Just as his face vanished everyone heard his final words "Madara I will destroy you one day. That I promise" with that he was gone. Gone forever gone for good. The boy who spent a year with them bringing joy to some had gone broken apart and never to return again

Konan simply turned around and flee away. Tears coming from her eyes as the pain she felt was immeasurable. She had done Nagatos bidding but perhaps this was the one choice she'd come to hate. The boy was good. He never deserved such things especially when he was about to vanish he showed her a memory. A memory of him dying by his mother's hands. A different life but the boy had been tortured. There was no saving him after this. It was too late

Everyone felt conflicted about the events today. What they didn't realise the pain they brought to the boy today was the reason of the age of shinobies died down.
