Kapitel 113: Chapter 113 - Meeting The Real One

Ren looks around and sees that the world around him lost all colors, Nagato's Deva Path a still in his pose as he is about to release his Shinra Tensei, he can even see in the distance the figure of Konan rising up in the sky.

"Damn! This Kido drains Chakra like I have never felt before, but the result is evident... The only downside is that I can't scream ZA WARUDO when releasing it... but now let's hurry and do the rest I can't hold this Kido for much longer..." so he moved near the Deva Path and took one of the receivers.

Then he took a striking position and hit the still Deva Path with a powerful, two-fisted punch right in the stomach "Sōkotsu (Double Bone)" but the Deva Path doesn't react as he is still stopped in time.

"This should be enough to take him out... but he is still about to release the Shinra Tensei so I have to send him away from here..." and once again he clapped his hands but this time when he pulled his palms apart a blue cuboid of light appeared then Ren says "Kin Bakudō: Kūkanten'i (Spatial Displacement)" and forcefully exchange the portion of space around Nagato's Deva Path, to another one very distant from the village, where his spiritual sense tells him is totally inhabited.

Then he stops fuelling the Jikanteishi (Temporal Stasis) and time move once again, and soon a rumbling sound of upturned earth was heard from where he sent the Deva Path.

After That Ren went back to Naruto, Sasuke, and Jiraiya, and seeing them still inside Sasuke's Susanoo who still has his sword into the ground to better prepare for the impact he says "You can stop... I have dealt with the Deva Path now the only ones left are Nagato and Konan.

Then he throw the small black receiver to Naruto and says "With this, you and Jiraiya can track his real position using the Sage Mode... it is better that you guys go and talk with him alone" and he was about to move when Sasuke asked "Where are you going?" and Ren replies "I'm going to recover Yahiko corpse, then I'll meet with Naruto and Jiraiya".

Then he says to Naruto "Naruto remember this, Nagato see you as something of a parallel to himself, you had the same mentor, you both had an upbringing with very few friends, and at this point, Nagato has just inflicted all of the devastations of war that he himself experienced on Konoha... look around even if we were prepared we still lost a lot of people from his indiscriminate attack... think about how would you have felt if in this attack Jiraiya or Sasuke died... or even better I'll let you see it..."

Then he drew Senbonzakura and said "Saka (Bloom) Senbonzakura" and the blade of his Zanpakuto turns into a light pink color and a soft, delicate, and pretty floral scent started emanating from it, and while Sasuke and Jiraiya do not see anything they saw Naruto's eyes moving around as if he was following a scene, then those his expression hardened and while his eyes turned red and his pupils became slit, at the same time tears were coming out of his eyes.

What Ren is showing to Naruto is a part of the original story starting from Jiraiya's death and then some part of the original Pain's Attack, with a smirk he also added the scene of Hinata's confession and her "death".

After he finished showing Naruto the original Ren re-sealed his Zanpakuto and then Naruto says "How can I forgive someone like him! Even if what you showed me is only an illusion that could have happened, if we didn't stop him Ero-sennin, Kakashi-sensei, Shizune-san, Hinata, hell even the whole village would be destroyed if you didn't stop him!"

Both Sasuke and Jiraiya were shocked by Naruto's outburst but then Ren said "What you saw is what would have happened if I didn't exist... but that isn't the important part... now you in a minor way know what that guy felt, now what is your answer on how to reach peace?" hearing Ren's question Naruto stood in silence for a minute before closing his eyes, then an orange pigmentation appeared around his eyes and when he opened them the irides became yellow with toad-like pupils, then he stabbed the receiver in his arm and then moved toward his objective.

And confuse Jiraiya followed after him while saying "W-Wait Naruto!" then Sasuke looked at Ren and said "You still like showing things through illusion, I still remember the "fight" I had with Itachi, maybe I should tell Karin about that illusion you showed Itachi to explain the illusion you showed to Kisame ... how did you call it?...Ah Taimanin Asagi!".

And Ren in a serious tone replies "Do that and I'll post a copy of all your photos in the Hall of Shame all over Konoha..." then Sasuke looked at Ren in silence then said "Truce?" and Ren "Truce" then he used to Shunpo to reach where he sent Yahiko's body.

As he was using Shunpo to quickly cross the distance he was thinking 'The forbidden Kido took a lot to cast right now I'm almost running empty, but it is also natural after all stopping time, and controlling space are some of the hardest things to do...'.

Soon Ren reached his destination, it is also pretty easy to find, after all a huge crater with lots of trees crushed in it, and others were blown away it is hard to miss, and in the middle of this devastation is the corpse of Yahiko with a big hole in his stomach and all his organs blow out.

"Shit... I did a number on him... Now I have to spend more Chakra to restore the body" and so Ren gathered all the pieces around and then used Kaido to restore the body.

Meanwhile, Naruto and Jiraiya were getting closer to Nagato and Konan's position, and soon they arrive in front of a huge tree in the middle of the forest near Konoha, Naruto walks forward and soon notice that the tree is in fact made of paper, so he uses his hands and open a passage and walk inside.

He soon see two people a woman who is Konan, and an emaciated man with straight red hair, sitting on a mechanical walker with several black receivers embedded in his back, who says to Konan who was about to move "Stand back Konan" and she "Nagato...", while Naruto says "Are you the real one?", and Nagato replies "So peace has come...".
