Chapter 46: The Script II

........

Yet even with such eyes, Nagato found himself not only wary but also extremely nervous for the uninvited intruder had managed to avoid his senses.

He was only able to sense him when he got close, way too close for his comfort, "Who are you?" Nagato asked, becoming even more war as something else appeared beside Isaac, White Zetsu.

"Ay Ay, why are you so fast!? Sometimes I feel like you just want to leave me behind, Dad!" White Zetsu complained as he rose from the ground.

"Dad?" Isaac's mouth couldn't help but facepalm. White Zetsu is way too naughty for his liking, "Just ignore him." Isaac ignored White Zetsu as he said to Nagato.

The scene reminded him a lot of his first meeting with Madara, something very similar took place.

"Pleasure to meet you, I a..." Isaac didn't get to finish his words as a wave of papers erupted from all around, falling upon him like a tsunami only to pass through him as if he was merely a mirage.

The attacker appeared beside the orange-haired individual, slowly forming into a human shape from what was previously pieces of paper.

The papers assembled together, gaining color to form a blue-haired girl, also adorned in the Akatsuki's uniform.

Members of the Akatsuki wear long, black cloaks with red clouds, a red interior, and a chin-high collar.

The red clouds represent the rain of blood that fell in Amegakure during its wars and were viewed as a symbol of justice by its members.

"Again, a pleasure to meet you," Isaac seemingly manifested a little bit behind, not taking offense to her attack as he continued, "I am... I am Isaac, Uchiha Isaac. I think you've heard of me."

"Take off your mask," Konan narrowed her eyes as she requested, not believing his words. Isaac is known throughout the world, so those who haven't heard of his death are few and far between.

"Sure," Isaac nodded and did just that, taking off his mask. Madara did want him to pretend to be... Well, Uchiha Madara.

However, Isaac disagreed. There is more value in just being himself for things would go much easier with him as the front of the plan rather than Madara.

That's something Isaac discussed with Madara, and the latter eventually agreed.

"How did you find us? And what do you want?" Konan questioned with a frown, becoming even more wary.

"I heard of the Akatsuki's desire for peace, so I want in," Isaac's left hand lit up as he spoke, manifesting a runic circle, causing an eruption of wood that formed into several chairs around a table, "Please have a seat first."

He was treating the place like his home, even daring to use a technique right before them, and despite their wariness, they allowed him to do so, or rather, Nagato signaled for Konan not to attack.

"Ahhh, so comfy," Unfortunately, the only one to take a seat was White Zetsu, the others kept their distance, "I heard that If you sit a lot without moving, you get fat... I don't! Hahahahaha," Yeah...

Isaac, however, took a seat, completely ignoring White Zetsu's quirky antics. You get to his weirdness eventually, and his words did help cool the mood.

"I tried to fix the world... I really did. I focused on the common people, not so much on Shinobi. That's why I created Eternal News. I wanted to spread knowledge, to teach people, and give them the tools to rise,"

Isaac started right away, telling them an extremely brief retelling of his life story, and how much impact that had... It made Nagato's eyes constrict in realization.

No wonder Eternal News ceased operation after Isaac's disappearance... Eternal News, those words mean too much to Nagato and Konan. It was somewhat their second teacher.

That was especially true for Yahiko who admired the unknown mastermind behind it greatly for it taught him how the world works, and how to go about changing it.

There was also a section of the News titled Eternal Academy which provides articles and tutorials that cover a wide range of topics, from advanced ninjutsu techniques to strategic battle tactics.

Indeed, it provided Ninjutsu techniques for only a few Ryo, the cost of the entire Newspaper, which isn't much to most people.

The generosity seemed unbelievable to the majority of people considering how much of a tight hold the Shinobi Villages have over such techniques.

They basically have a monopoly over the way of Shinobi to the point that the only someone could get their hands on them is through the black market, a dangerous territory.

"It was somewhat working... It's not easy though, to change the world. Many are considered great because of the nature of the world, so when I was proclaimed dead, it was because those people didn't want me to fix the world any longer for it's in their best interest for there to be chaos."

Isaac eyed Nagato specifically as he continued, "I heard something similar happened to you three... Because you wanted peace, you were targeted, and in the end, one of you fell."

He then turned his eyes to what was supposed to be Yahiko, "I can feel that he's nothing but a cold dead body... The cost of seeking peace."

Isaac couldn't help but chuckle at that, a chuckle of ridicule at the state of the world, something Nagato seemed to have realized a while ago as he closed his eyes for a second, regaining his composure.

Isaac's approach was very successful as Nagato said, "I am listening."

"I heard that you have the eyes of God... That seems to be true," Isaac noted before getting to the heart of his visit, "I have a plan that I don't think I can achieve alone, I need your help."

If Nagato wanted to say something, he didn't get his chance yet as Isaac added, "I will tell you my plan, then I'll give you enough time to discuss it amongst yourselves, then when you agree, we can start by taking over the village of Rain, maybe get your revenge as well."

He seemed very confident that they would agree, thus he told them about the Eye Of The Moon Plan, a plan created by Madara that entails projecting the Infinite Tsukuyomi on the moon in order to trap the entire world in a genjutsu, thus saving mankind from destroying itself but also at the price of robbing free will from the entire world. 

It's not a tempting plan... For those with sane minds. Before Isaac were victims of war, merely kids with broken minds.

They are still young and immature, thus their past experiences had grave effects on their minds, especially for Nagato who seemed to be in deep thought.

"No need for further deliberation. If what you said is true, then we can reach cooperation... Only if you tell us how you found us," Stated Nagato.

"Oh, that would be the doing of my friend here," Isaac smiled as he patted White Zetsu by his side.

"Tehe! Hello!!"
