Nimato watched as Konan surrounded Nagato and the original Pain's body that he had found out was originally called Yahiko.

"So what will you do now?" Nimato questioned Konan he hated the thought that she was going to go back to the Akatsuki and continue to be his enemy.

"I'm going back to Amegakure...and leaving the Akatsuki" Konan answered with a small smile on her face both of her childhood friends were now dead...and all she had left was the belief that Nimato could find a way of finding peace.

"I see...that's good...also I know I shouldn't ask but in my fight with Pain...I mean Nagato he mentioned something to my brother about a relationship with you...I was just wondering if you tell me what he meant?" Nimato questioned while Konan turned away for a moment and began to walk away.

"My relationship with your brother was...a little bit to mature for you Nimato-kun" Konan stated before pieces of paper began to form large angel looking wings on her back.

"Farewell Nimato...remember Amegakure will always be by your side" Konan said before taking off into the air with the bodies of both Nagato and Yahiko.

"...It's over finally" Nimato mumbled as Konan got out of his vision and looking behind him Nimato frowned the village had been destroyed the morale of everyone who had lost their homes and lively hood would certainly be at an all-time low.

Stumbling through the forest Nimato was exhausted he had just finished paying his respects to a makeshift grave for Jiraiya and was now on his way back to the Konoha grounds. Closing his eyes for a brief few seconds Nimato felt his legs give way and he began to fall forwards.

However he felt no pain in fact it had felt like someone had broken his fall. Opening one eye Nimato smiled slightly at the sight of his Sensei Kakashi this either meant what Nagato had said was true and he had brought everyone back to life or Nimato himself was now dead.

"K-Kakashi-sensei" Nimato said in a tired tone and Kakashi gave him a one eye smile.

"Yeah...you did good Nimato...don't worry I'll carry you to the rest of the village" Kakashi stated picking up Nimato on his back allowing Nimato to close his eyes.

As Kakashi walked back to the villagers with Nimato on his back he couldn't help but feel proud of his student he had gone from the dead last of his graduating class to the hero of the village. Kakashi could still remember when Nimato had announced his goals back on the roof of the academy in their first meeting and now Nimato could definitively say he had earned the acknowledgement of the villagers now.

As the two reached a break in the forest the sound of loud noise could be heard and getting off Kakashi's back Nimato was shocked speechless as the thousands of people were cheering him and running towards him.

"I relayed everything that happened" Nimato heard Katsuyu say as she popped out of his collar and as Nimato looked at all the smiling and happy faces of the villagers and his comrades he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction after all those years being put down as stupid and weak they were now finally appreciating him.

Enjoying the moment of finally being able to get the villagers to acknowledge him Nimato suddenly thought about his brother and widened his eyes before looking towards Sakura who was in front of him.
