Chapter ~ This world shall know Pain
==========
Konoha.
The bustling village lay under the brilliant midday sun, its golden rays beating down from directly overhead.
The streets were alive with activity, as villagers went about their daily routines, casting long, vibrant shadows that danced across the cobblestone paths.
.
A gentle breeze wafted through the air, causing the leaves on the trees to sway gracefully.
The temperature was pleasantly mild, making it easy for everyone to find comfort.
In the heart of this idyllic scene, children laughed and played in the park, their voices carrying on the wind as they enjoyed the perfect weather.
.
People bustled back and forth, entering and exiting the shops lining the streets.
.
However, a stark contrast could be felt within the Hokage's office, where a heavy sense of gloom hung in the air.
The faces of those present were marked by shadows of concern and seriousness.
Tsunade's eyes glistened with moisture as she gazed ahead. Two elderly toads occupied the chairs before her.
.
Additionally, another toad was present, There was some text written on its back.
Tsunade's voice quivered slightly as she addressed the elderly toads, her question carrying a mix of hope and apprehension.
" Is Jiraiya really died?" " Tsunade inquired, her voice steady despite the emotions welling up within her. She clenched back her tears, determined not to appear vulnerable before her subordinates.
.
Present in the room were Kakashi, Sai, Sakura, Shikamaru, Shikaku, and her apprentice, Shizune.
.
Shikamaru and Shikaku were engrossed in deciphering the text that Jiraiya had inscribed in his final moments.
"Yes, you are correct Jiraiya, the boy died in battle," the elderly toad affirmed.
.
"Where is Naruto?" Tsunade inquired, her concern evident in her voice. Both toads wore troubled expressions as they exchanged glances.
"We have been unable to summon him. A red line appears across his name in the summoning scroll," the toad explained, its voice tinged with worry.
.
"You mean to tell me that you can't summon him?" Tsunade's voice carried a mixture of disbelief and anxiety.
With everything else already weighing heavily on her mind, the revelation that Naruto couldn't be summoned added another layer of complexity to the situation.
"We're not sure how, but his name has been severed from the summoning scroll. And now that I think about it, he hasn't summoned any toads in the last seven months," the toad explained with a touch of concern in its voice.
.
This time, the female toad spoke, "Perhaps Naruto has found a more powerful summoning creature than toads, one that could potentially replace his name on the summoning scroll," she speculated.
Tsunade clasped her hands tightly, her composure wavering in the face of this crisis.
With Jiraiya's recent death and the inability to summon Naruto, the situation felt increasingly dire.
She was acutely aware that she had dispatched Naruto and Sasuke on their mission, but the gravity of the circumstances now demanded their immediate presence.
.
At that moment, Shikamaru spoke up, breaking the tense atmosphere.
"We have decoded the text," he announced.
All eyes turned toward him, anticipation evident on their faces.
.
Shikamaru gazed at the group, then began relaying the deciphered message.
"The text reads," he paused briefly, gathering their attention,
.
"Pain possesses the Rinnegan."
.
All eyes remained fixed on Shikamaru, several members of the group clearly uncertain about the significance of his revelation.
"Rinnegan?" Sakura questioned, seeking clarification.
.
"It's an ocular jutsu said to have been possessed by the Father of all shinobi, 'The Sage of the Six Paths'," the elder toad elaborated, shedding light on the matter.
"What..." Kakashi exclaimed, his eyes widening in astonishment.
*
At that moment, in the park nearby, children were engrossed in their play.
Amid their laughter and games, one child's attention was drawn to the sky above.
"What's this?" the child queried, directing the question to their friends, curiosity evident in their tone.
All of them turned their gazes skyward, focusing on the anomaly that had captured their attention.
"It's like a black dot," one of the children observed aloud.
"No, it's more like a person," another child chimed in, their sharper eyesight allowing for a clearer view than their friend's.
"Huh... What do you mean by 'a man'?" they asked, curiosity piqued by the description.
.
In the sky, a black cloak fluttered.
The figure extended his arms wide.
His purple eyes emitted an eerie glow, casting an otherworldly hue upon his enigmatic form.
.
"This world shall know pain," the man spoke in a chillingly cold tone, his words carrying a weight of ominous certainty.
He extended both of his hands, fingers splayed wide as if preparing to unleash a force beyond comprehension.
