Question about Nagato & Konan of Akatsuki.

[Joten Uchiha]

Okay I just thought of this randomly..

Right, So you know how when Shinobi leave their Villages (for their own reasons) and join up with Akatsuki, it's customary for them to take their headbands and slash a line through the village icon symbolising their loyalty is no longer with said village?

My question is Why did Konan & Nagato do this if they never really left their Village?

Think about it, they were always loyal to Amegakure, even whilst with Akatsuki they were still based in The Hidden Rain constantly watching over civillians and on the look out for intruders, Realistically they were never Missing-nin all they did was overthrow Hanzo and took charge of Amegakure.

So what's with the Headband?

Thry were no longer loyal to it remember that hanzo ed yahiko and betrayed them, when nagatos paths killed hanzo and he took over every single shinobi of amegakure did the same thing to their forehead protector symbolizing that they were not loyal to hanzos amegakure but to pains amegakure and the shinobi that didnt were killed e because they syill viewed hanzo qs their leader.

 

[SeriouslyNO]

they left the village under control of hanzo, and they made another Hidden Rain, there was a rumors in anime/manga that city is cut to half, Hanzo's half/and Pain's half, and they are fighting and etc, there must be a sign to find out which side a person fights for?

I'm not 100% sure on this,but I don't think he was.

 

[supino]

they won the (civil) war in Amegakure, they were not missing-nin, no reason to scratch their headbands. Nagato had done this, though, right after Yahiko's death. Once they won he and Konan went back to normal headbands.
