Chapter 5: CH - 05 Founders Of Akatsuki
A/N - So, In this Chapter System was Explained. As I said Earlier System won't matter much in this story . I don't want to Create a MC with Every Blood Boundary ( Kekkai Genkai ), every Dōjutsu out there. It will only destroy the story. As for why there is even a System have you ever seen a Daimyo who was able to refine chakra?. Anyways the Point is MC will become strong. Strong enough to beat any Otsutsuki wannabe. (-; but it will not be to the point where he surpasses the limits of the world.
p.s - Someone was asking me in the Comments about the timeline of this Story . According to timeline of Naruto posted on tumblr its around early 53. As of this Chapter, The war Between Amegakure and Konoha nearing its end and Sannin Battle is about to happen.
p.s.p.s - As there is not Exact date of Destruction Of Uzushiogakure. I assumed it around late 51 or early 52. At least in this story

[ You have completed a special task ]
[ Konan's Task : She wants to eat to her heart's content ]
Looking at the unexpectedly generous reward and the complete ninjutsu scroll [ Secret Technique: Paper Style Jutsu ]
Kusano was stunned. He never thought he would be able to complete a special order. Compared to the daily three ordinary orders, special orders were quite rare. For example, he had been here for so long and had only encountered three of them.
[ Uzumaki Kana's Task : I want a warm home! (Completed) ]
[ Black Zetsu's Task : Meet my mother once again. (Uncompleted) ]
Apart from Kana and the one just completed, Black Zetsu's task was still unfinished. However, both rewards were quite bountiful.
It is understandable that special orders may have to be obtained from special characters, but he has always been in the Land of Grass and has not seen many plot characters, so he has encountered so few special tasks.
As for Black Zetsu, one time, when he was out submitting his manuscript, He encountered a strange person who came to buy drawing paper and brushes. The person even asked if the store had an exquisite album of poop illustrations. He had no money with him, and the store owner thought he was a troublemaker and kicked him out.
He had the feeling that he had seen this person before, so he bought a pen and paper for him.
Then, when he was leaving, a person with a black cloak suddenly appeared in the wilderness and took the weirdo away. At that moment, he immediately understood... he had met the great filial son and the spiral faced, Zetsu (Tobi)
Of course, he never saw them again.
Speaking of which, The 'Kannabi Bridge' is in the Land of Grass, so maybe Madara is still playing with the God Tree underground in the Land of Grass.
As for Black Zetsu's mission...
This damn mission is impossible to complete now. Is his mother so easy to find?. It probably won't be completed until the Fourth Great Ninja War, so this mission has been left hanging there without attention.
After Konan finished eating, Akihiko took her directly to the location indicated by the intelligence force.
Speaking of Which, He unexpectedly ran into Konan. Initially, he was planning to visit Nagato's home first. After all, both Konan and Yahiko were orphans, so it wasn't easy to find them while they were wandering around.
The three of them probably met each other when they were around ten years old, and not long after that, they met Jiraiya and the others, who had just received the title of 'Three Sannin'. However, He never expected to come across Konan, who had fainted on the road.
Currently, the three of them have not met, and he does not know whether Nagato's parents have been killed. He believes that if Kana comes to know that she still has family members, she will be very happy.
The next day, They went to Nagato's house. As he had thought before, Nagato had not left yet, but he seemed to have arrived too late. When they found Nagato's house, the door was wide open. It should be noted that this is the other side of the Rain Country, very close to the battlefield of Konoha. Therefore, this area was affected by the war, and many people had already left. Those who remained mostly kept their doors closed. As for the door being wide open, there was only one possibility. They were under attack!
Kusano immediately understood what had happened and rushed in. However, it was already too late. When he rushed in, Nagato's father was lying on the ground, and they were only able to save Nagato and his mother, Fuso.
Nagato's family 'The Uzumaki clan' had gone into hiding in the Rain Country. Finally, considering the war situation, with the help of Konan and mine, Nagato and his mother buried his father quickly while holding back their grief.
Akihiko was filled with emotion, as he had planned to take the entire family with him. After all, the Grass Country was in need of people now. However, he was too late. After destroying the bodies of the Konoha ninja, It was already getting late, and considering that there were three ordinary people with him and what they had just experienced, Akihiko could only stay at Nagato's house for one day.
After a simple dinner, the two children went to rest. After all, one had traveled a long way and the other had just experienced the sadness of losing their father. So, Konan and Nagato were already tired.
At this moment, the living room was empty except for two people, Fuso and Akihiko.
Fusa's face was filled with exhaustion and sadness, perhaps due to just experiencing the loss of her husband. Especially now, with the war still ongoing and her status as a widow, how would she and her orphaned children survive in this chaotic world?
She was filled with confusion about the present and future.
Earlier, she had a faint smile and was preparing dinner. However, when the children fell asleep and the night gradually fell, Fuso could no longer hold back her sadness.
Akihiko noticed this and after a moment of contemplation, came out and said, "Mrs. Fuso"
"I'm sorry, ninja-sama" Seeing someone approach, Fuso immediately wiped away her tears and put on a tired smile. A forced smile.
She was grateful to Kusano, who had suddenly appeared in her home with the girl and saved her and Nagato, But her and Nagato's Identity must never be discovered by other ninja.
"It's okay" Akihiko sat down opposite Fuso and considered the situation in the Land of Rain. The final battle before the end of the war would soon begin when Jiraiya's team advanced into the Land of Rain. Who knew what unexpected events would occur at that time?
Especially since he had to take three people through the battlefield back to the Land of Grass and find Yahiko, the founder of the Akatsuki organization!
Therefore, there were many things to consider. His original plan was to find Nagato first and then Yahiko and Konan. If Nagato's family was still there, he would take them away, but if they were not, he would persuade Nagato to leave.
So, to be safe, they had to evacuate as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if an accident happens. Since Nagato's mother was still there, Akihiko decided to talk to her early on.
If his mother wanted to move to another country, Nagato probably wouldn't refuse. Kusano crossed his hands and placed them in front of his chin, looking at her with a Serious face in the dim light.
This scene immediately made Fuso nervous, looking at this ninja with worry and confusion. Why did he suddenly become so serious? Has Nagato's status as an Uzumaki been discovered?
As she was wondering, Akihiko looked at her sternly and said straightforwardly, "Mrs. Fuso, you don't want your son to live in this war-torn country, do you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kusano waited for Fuso to nod her head in sadness and burst into tears, but instead he was met with silence.
Perplexed by her lack of response, Akihiko wondered, 'Why isn't she saying anything?'
However, he was able to guess her thoughts but not completely. As he looked puzzled, Fuso's face turned red and then blue, finally seemed to realize something, and her eyes became red. She spoke in a slightly trembling voice, "I understand!" and then stood up, her hands on her collar.
This sudden behavior stunned Akihiko, who quickly tried to stop her and pulled out a document, saying, "What I mean is... do you want to move to another country? The Land of Grass is recruiting talents, and the immigration procedures are simple, convenient, and fast. We'll give you the green light, and not only will you get a job, but you'll also get free food and lodging. Plus, your children can attend school for free!"
With a tempting tone, he added, "If you apply tonight, you can be in the Land of Grass tomorrow. What are you still thinking about?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Fuso remained silent with a slight stiffness in her hand.

A/N - Regarding Madara there is no accurate location of him at this time in canon. So, I assumed it was around Kannabi Bridge. Of course for the convenience of the story.
