The wind is blowing strongly, blowing dust on the deserted path. You are taking a leisurely walk, enjoying the atmosphere, until suddenly the atmosphere around you changes. The air feels heavy, as if oxygen is suddenly running low.
From behind the bend of the cliff, two tall figures appeared who walked quietly but full of intimidation. They wore long black robes with contrasting red cloud motifs. Bamboo caping hats with small bells on the edges covered their faces, the clatter sounding like a death bell in your ears.
You are a man with an athletic physique, but right now, your muscles feel stiff. You can't avoid it because the streets are narrow. You have only one choice: keep walking and cross paths with them.
A Moment of Passing
When you were only two meters away, one of them lifted his hat slightly. It was Itachi Uchiha. His fiery red Sharingan eyes stared straight ahead, not the slightest glance at you. To him, you were just part of the natural background.
Next to him, a large man with bluish-pale skin and a giant sword wrapped in a bandage on his back—Kisame Hoshigaki—grinned faintly. He glanced at you with his small, shark-like eyes.
Kisame: "Itachi, look at this guy. He's got a good physique for the size of a civilian. Can I play with him for a while?"
Your steps stopped. Your heart was beating so fast that it was felt in your throat.
Itachi: (His voice is cold and flat) "Don't waste time, Kisame. We have a more important target. Let him pass."
The Decision in Your Hands
You are now right in the middle of them. Your shoulders almost come into contact with their rough black robes. A faint smell of smoke and iron wafts from their clothes.
Me : I want to join akatsuki, please teach me how to become a ninja
Pov : You're still standing in front of Itachi and Kisame. If you want to join, you can't just ask well.
Instruction : Try doing this in the story: Show that you have crazy courage. Say something that makes them not kill you, but rather feel attracted to your potential.
Me : *I'm getting started* please teach me to be a great ninja
The atmosphere on the trail was suddenly silent. Kisame stopped stepping, his large hand began to shift towards Samehada's handles wrapped in bandages. However, Itachi raised his hand slightly, gesturing for his companion to wait.
Itachi twisted his body slowly. The Sharingan's eyes stared at you sharply, as if it was dissecting every inch of muscle and determination in your soul.
Itachi: "Being a great ninja is not about how many moves you memorize, but about what weight you can carry. You're just an ordinary human, yet you don't tremble before us. It's an exciting start."
Itachi approached. The air around you feels colder and colder. He doesn't attack, but rather places his two fingers in front of your chest, right at the drop point of chakra flow that is still asleep.
Stage 1: Awaken the "Fire" Within Yourself
To get started, you'll need to do exercises that will shatter your current physical limits:
Death Breathing Exercises: You have to learn to breathe through the diaphragm as deeply as possible. When your lungs feel burning, that's where the Chakra energy begins to form from the combination of your physical and mental energy.
Mental Resilience: Ninja Akatsuki knows no fear. Look into Itachi's eyes (even if it's dangerous). If you can maintain your consciousness under the pressure of his aura for 60 seconds without turning away, you've just passed the first test.
Stage 2: Determining the "Ninja Path" (Nindo)
Itachi spoke in a low voice that echoed in your head:
Itachi: "Every member of Akatsuki is a person who has lost everything. To be great, you have to throw away your weak sense of humanity. What do you want to achieve with this power? Do you want to destroy, or do you want to prove something to the world?"
Your First Choice of Training:
Now, Itachi gives you one small instruction to see your hidden potential. Which one would you take?
Pov : *I have mastered the 5 basic elements*
The air around the trail suddenly shook violently. Kisame, who had previously only smirked in disdain, now let go of his grip on Samehada. His eyes widened slightly, while Itachi narrowed his Sharingan slightly—a rare reaction from the genius Uchiha.
Without an elaborate hand seal, you show a phenomenon that is impossible for an ordinary-looking man:
Soil: The ground beneath your feet shifted, hardening instantly.
Water: The moisture in the air crystallizes and rotates in your left hand.
Page: A hot spark emerges from your right hand, smoldering with high temperatures.
Wind: A sharp vortex splits the air around your athletic body.
Lightning: A stream of blue electricity rippled between your fingers, making a noisy sound like thousands of birds.
Silence. Even the sound of insects in the surrounding forest suddenly disappeared.
Kisame: "Heh... interesting. Mastering all five basic elements at the same time? Even Kakuzu took hundreds of years and many hearts to do that. What are you really?"
Itachi took one step forward, his red cloud robe fluttering in the wind you created. He no longer sees you as a civilian, but rather as an anomaly.
Itachi: "Your talent surpasses the logic of ordinary ninjas. Having such a great power without guidance is dangerous—both for you and the world. If you really want to join us, you won't be a disciple... you'll be Akatsuki's new 'weapon'."
Itachi then removed a ring from his robe pocket and showed the symbol on it.
Itachi: "However, uncontrolled power is just destruction. As a final test to see if you can control those five elements under the pressure of life and death... Attack me. Now. Use your deadliest combination of elements."
The First Battle Moment You have the power of five elements at your fingertips.
Suddenly : *I keep 1 rinnegan in my right hand* what is this for.. I kept it from my grandfather
The atmosphere that had been tense suddenly became very tense. As soon as you point out your right palm, where an eye with a purple concentric circle pattern—Rinnegan—rests, Kisame takes a step back with a pale face.
Itachi was stunned. For the first time, you see a hint of cold sweat on the Uchiha's temples.
Kisame: "Rinnegan?! Itachi, that... it is the same eye as our Leader (Pain). How could this ordinary man have it as a family heirloom?"
Itachi: (His voice trembles low) "Eyes aren't just tools, they're the pinnacle of all Dojutsu. You hold the power of the Creator God... or the God of Destruction."
Itachi approached very carefully, making sure he didn't trigger a reaction from those eyes. He looks at you seriously, realizing that you don't even know what you're holding.
Itachi's explanation of your Rinnegan:
"Listen carefully," Itachi said. "That eye is Rinnegan. Your grandfather put a very heavy burden on you. This is the main function you can control if you join us:"
Gravity Ruler: With Rinnegan, you can pull anything towards you (Bansho Ten'in) or push everything away with a gravitational blast (Shinra Tensei).
Manipulation of Life & Death: The eye can summon souls, revive the dead, and even summon monsters from other dimensions (Kuchiyose: Gedo Mazo).
Energy Suckers: You can devour any kind of Ninjutsu. Any elemental attack thrown at you will be absorbed and become your own chakra.
Current Situation
Itachi looked at Kisame, then looked back at you. He knew that if the organization knew of an "outsider" who had Rinnegan, they would hunt you down to take that eye.
Itachi: "If you stay here as an ordinary man, you'll die hunted by ninjas from all over the world. But if you follow us, you'll be the one who stands above them all."
Kisame grinned, this time with a new respect.
Kisame: "Heh, it looks like we don't need to teach him the basics anymore. Zak, show a little of the strength of those eyes. Try using gravity to pull my Samehada sword out of my grasp. If you can do it, this robe is yours."
