Troubled world

It is said that in an era when the world turns upside down when Bandits and thieves become common, and not only adults but even children start to becoming victims, the Rinnegan would be sent from Heaven to the troubled world but...

Inside the Castle royal bedroom - two days after Pain's Victory over Dong Zhuo.

Pain opened his eyes, although he had no need to sleep while being a walking corpse, he decided to lay down the body to rest until the time for action started again. The other paths stayed in different rooms just for convenience until he could create a secret room just like the one he had in the hidden rain to hide the corpses while he had no need of them being active. He got up and sat in a meditating position, crossing his legs and closing his eyes he started recalling the events that had transpired until now.

Ever since he has gotten into this new world, everything that happened was in a hurry. His arrival at the small village, his encounter with Tatsumi, their march to the Imperial Capital, his stay in the inn, his clash with Aria's family and Night Raid, his faceoff with Dong Zhuo, and the hunt to exterminate all people who were connected to him. But now that he finally established himself in this kingdom, he had finally found time for himself. He thought about his current situation. The powers of the Rinnegan he possesses now didn't seem as "bound" as they were back in the Elemental Nations he had the control not only over the Deva path but the outer path into this body as well hence why he could manipulate the other corpses. He felt like the new being that he is which was formed from the body of the once man named Yahiko and the mind of the one who controlled it known as Nagato was utterly "free". It was a strange feeling to him because he never felt like this before, he never felt that the Rinnegan that he possessed was being "limited" there he has yet to discover what was different in his powers if there was anything new he would discover later on.

Maybe he felt like that because he never experienced travel to another world? the sensation of becoming a new being that could walk on his own? or something else was manipulating him all the time when he was in the world of shinobi? He never fully trusted the masked man that called himself Madara anyway. The man appeared before the young trio years ago claiming to be the legendary ghost of the Uchiha while wearing a mask... for anyone it would be too hard to believe it. He could never shake off the feeling that Nagato was never the primary player there and that the masked man was hiding lots of sensitive information from him but never found evidence to prove such a theory. Maybe the masked man was just that good at hiding his true intentions?

Whatever it was it was no longer his concern and although he felt some longing for his companions of the Akatsuki and his longtime friend Konan, they would be always forever out of his reach, he was a new being, yet kept the ideals of Yahiko and Nagato but had a new world ahead to explore. One full of enemies for him to face in order to bring peace to this world that he was sent into. Samsãra demanded it too, he wouldn't stop until he reduced all evil into nothing just like he did with Dong Zhuo no matter how brutal his tactics would prove to be, his divine justice would prevail. Everyone would understand Pain. He got up and exited the room, ready to start the day.

Castle 3rd-floor hallway

Yukimura was a strong man, one that could take down many soldiers in a matter of seconds he was famous in the kingdom for his skill in the handling of the spear. All that came with years of experience and training to defend the royal family. But he had s shock of reality a few days ago when for the first time in his life he fought the user of a Teigu, an artifact created by the first Emperor to prevent his Empire to fall. It was said that he created a total of 48 of these weapons and that I was used some sort of magic to create them and that only the strongest of warriors are able to wield them.

Yukimura huffed in frustration when his wife and he were cornered by Dong Zhuo. The difference in strength was ludicrous. But he was yet taken by surprise again when Pain showed up and saved them. He heard from the people that he showed strength and powers they never heard of and it didn't seem to them that he was using a Teigu. He completely overpowered a Teigu user in combat. It was judgment exactly like that of a God. The tyranny of Dong Zhuo was no more if the people were happy, he was happy. While Yukimura was lost in his thoughts, he ended up bumping into Pain. "Pain Dono forgive me for my tardiness. I was discussing a few things with the people and our chief counselor. I hope you all enjoyed your stay at the royal bedrooms" Yukimura spoke while giving a bow.

"Don't worry about it I understand. And I thank you for your hospitality". Pain replied while bowing in return.

"No no! there is no need to bow to me! we are the ones who have to thank you for what you did for us and if you forgive me Pain Dono we request your presence at the Council room". Pain nodded and followed Yukimura to a large room that had a table with a map on top of it. Sat on the table was The chief counselor who did not hesitate to get up and bow before Pain as soon as he entered the room. " Welcome Lord Pain I hope that you remember me from that day when you freed the slaves. Forgive me for not introducing myself at that time. My name is Masayuki the chief counselor from this kingdom. We would like to discuss the current situation of this land please, sit down".

"What would you like to discuss?". Pain asked but inside he already knew what they would be discussing.

"During your stay in our land, we've gathered the people in the plaza to ask their opinions on you. Many cheer for your name you just saved us from impending doom at the hands of Dong Zhuo. And as you know the King's throne is vacant so..." Masayuki started while bowing his head.

"We would like you to ascend to the throne". Yukimura finished while also bowing his head. "We need a strong leader one that can face the threats that the Capital sends to attack us one that can save us in time of need unlike what the revolutionary army". The poison in his voice was clear.

"Hmm... it seems that you hold a grudge against the revolutionary army. Why is that?". Pain asked with interest.

Yukimura didn't raise his head. "It's not that I despise them or anything my lord but it's just that I have a feeling that the fair intentions that the Revolutionary Army once worked for are being corrupted". Yukimura said while raising his head.

"In the last months, we've been asking for their support in the rebellion whenever their secret envoy who was supposed to be our contact and spy on this land, arrived in the city. But what they did was to ignore saying that they wouldn't be able to lead an assault on this land just yet what It's clearly a lie since they are famous for being able to lead armies in various other lands, the revolutionary army seems to be focusing too much on the Imperial Capital they completely forgot about us. I believe that they were not fighting for the interests of the majority anymore". Masayuki spoke assuredly. Pain made a displeasure face upon hearing this.

"Thanks to Dong Zhuo and the Empire there's been always various skirmishes around our land with the involvement of bandits and lawless scum who fight for territory Dong Zhuo didn't provide any sort of assistance to them even after demanding such absurd taxes from them".

"What we suspect is that the revolutionary army headquarters has been providing weaponry for these people who've been waging war against each other to profit from it probably to supply them with enough money to support their armies in other countries. We've been used as their source of gold for a few months already and since we've been under dictatorship and slavery we couldn't get out of the kingdom to alert anyone about this no, we didn't have anyone to call for help even if we're able to get out of the city perimeters. Not only adults have been victimized by these meaningless wars and vandals but also our children. It's good that you've assassinated anyone involved with that man that could send anyone to threaten us but there's still that scum who lurks in the Capital, Prime Minister Honest". Masayuki explained with disgust.

"So, they strayed from the path of justice, letting themselves being consumed by hunger and greed forgetting about the suffering of nearby countries..." Pain had recovered his always expression devoid of any emotion but then a smile started to form on his lips leaving the other two men in the room confused.

"If war is going to continue then I'll become the God of this world full of despair and bring a cease to fighting" the face of Yukimura and Masayuki beamed with hope. "But let me make this clear" Pain's tone of voice changed to a more serious one " Whether my methods are brutal or not if you want to see the world of tomorrow that I'll create you'll have to agree to my terms what will it be?" Pain turned to look at both men seeing their determinate faces.

"We agree with sir, allow us to be the bridge for your conquest for peace". They kneeling before Pain signaling their complete devotion to him.

"Very well from now on this land will be called the Hidden Rain Village and while I'm here you will be protected under my rain and this country will never experience drought again". Pain spoke with conviction his fist step into conquering the world and bringing peace was done.

Meanwhile in another place...

"Accelerated heartbeat, feverish and it seems like she had experienced a long period of exhaustion too. I'm sorry Najenda but I've never encountered something like this before are you sure it wasn't a curse from a Teigu?". A man dressed in white and with a hat with a cross-shaped symbol on it presumably a Doctor from the revolutionary army asked worriedly while leaving the room where the wounded members of Night Raid were resting.

"I'm telling you, the report I got from Bulat told me that she got her soul ripped out from her arm! can't you just cut off the damaged member!?". Najenda asked with anger in a high-pitched tone of voice.

"I can but our medicine won't be able to heal it if it's some sort of curse I'm not sure if she will be healed on the process is over I think that the removal of the arm will just delay whatever process she's being put under". The Doctor spoke with its head down in frustration.

"What will happen to Akame if she doesn't get better soon?". Najenda asked but already with a bad taste in her mouth considering the worst possible scenario but she wanted to hear from the man in front of her.

"If she doesn't get better soon, I'm afraid Miss Akame will die, Lady Najenda". The Doctor replied in a short and thick way. Najenda then quickly grabbed the man by his collar and slammed him against the wall.

"Tell me there is a way to save her! Do you even know how important my subordinates are to me!? Akame... Akame has a sister! she wants to find her yet! how do you think she will do that dead!?". Najenda asked with anger and frustration letting out a tear run down her face.

"I'm sorry but it's not my fault. I'll do the procedures to the remotion of the member that is bleeding badly but let me warn you General Najenda, she will probably only last for one more month and that's only my guess on a clinical basis and her diagnosis. The removal of the limb is to contain any infection that could spread to her body and organs because of the rotting segment. If an infection reaches her internal organs, she's done for that's why it needs to be done immediately. If you want to find out a way to save her the best thing you can do is to find the responsible for the curse of this Teigu or whatever power it used to find a method to heal her. The other members of Night Raid will be ok with just a week of rest. And if you excuse me, General, I have to start the procedures now". The Doctor said as a few nurses entered the room and help to carry Akame to another room where he could do the procedure safely.

Najenda was heartbroken she went outside and punched a boulder with her prosthesis arm, managing to crack it, letting out all her frustration.

A day later...

Inside a rocky formation near the new Hidden Rain Village, we could see all the paths of Pain reunited with a trio composed of two young boys and a girl.

"Why did you bring us here Pain sama?". Asked a curious Sayo.

"I'm here to talk to you three about the Akatsuki initiative". Pain said as he turned to them and opened the palm of his hand showing three rings.

...they were called a tool of heaven... a tool of God that would bring salvation when the world was in chaos... or a weapon that would destroy all creation and would return everything to dust...
