Konan, The Past Revived

[KaedaUchiha]

Konan leaves Konoha with the bodies of her two dearest friends: Nagato and Yahiko. The memories of her lost friends flood her mind. She was the only one left. She trudged along the dirt road, the wrapped up bodies following closely behind. She walked slowly, feet kicking some dirt up as she walked. Soon she arrived to the gates of her home: the hidden rain village. The rain poured down from the heavens as she arrived in her hometown. She paused and looked up to the sky. “It’s like they never even left.” She said to herself absorbing the rain pelting her face. She continued on and the rain continued to fall. She came to the old cave that Yahiko, Nagato, and herself had lived in when they were orphans. She dug up two graves for her fallen friends, and carefully put the bodies in. After replacing the dirt, she stuck a stick above each grave. She stared at the graves for a moment. Then pulled 2 sheets of paper off her arm and began to form 2 roses. She knelt down and put the two flowers on the graves. “Rest in peace, my friends.” She said before getting up and leaving. She walked through the rain and headed out to the forest. Soon the rain stopped and the suns rays poured onto the land. Konan started a wildfire in the center of the forest. She stood and watched as the flames grew. She removed her cloak and held it in her hand. “Time to get rid of my biggest mistake.” She said hurling the coat into the flames. She stared as the cloak burned to ash. She still had her under clothes on and she headed back to town. She went to the place she had been staying while Yahiko and Nagato had started the group, just before Yahiko’s real death. She rummaged through the things left over, and found her old Rain village cloak. She put it on and found her head band. She ran her finger over the gash through it then threw it down. She left the hide out quickly. She went to town and got herself a new head band, a headband she could wear proudly. While walking through town, she heard the conversations of the death of their god, Pein. She hated that name. It is what had consumed her friends. She decided to return to the main tower, where her and Pein had resided during their Akatsuki times. She went out and stood on the edge of the statue. Her feet moved on their own. They inched towards the edge. She felt like nothing was left for her, no one there to want her to stay alive, and she felt not needed. She almost came off the edge if it wasn’t for a familiar face behind her. “Konan…” she turned to see Naruto Uzumaki. He was a shadow clone though. She looked at him. “We… would like your help..” he said nervously. Konan got wide eyed then smiled. “Yes Naruto Uzumaki.” She says while turning to bow to him. “Thank you.” He said bowing and turning around, to which she followed. She looked at him, and saw the images of Yahiko and Nagato. She felt needed , wanted, she felt the need to live. She grabbed Naruto’s shoulder.

“Naruto Uzumaki. Thank you.”​

She said. He turned to her. “Well, I’m not sure what your thanking me for but, Your welcome!” he said. She wanted to hit him but she held it back. “Thank you, for giving me courage.” She said. He looked at her. “Hey, I do that to a lot of people!” he gloated. She chuckled. “Now lets go! It’s time….. to save Sasuke Uchiha!!!” Naruto yelled pointing at the sky. She loved his enthusiasm. “Your just like Yahiko.” She said. Naruto sighed. “Yeah, I guess so…..” he said blushing. She smiled. Today was a new day, and her hopes and dreams have changed, and their called Naruto Uzumaki!!
