Konoha collapsed and his companions died. When the defeated Seventh Hokage Uzumaki Naruto was on the verge of death, he was dragged back to the rainy night when Pain destroyed Konoha by the Black Tortoise. Burning with despair, he transformed into the fire of darkness, tore apart the divine light born from reincarnation, and turned Nagato and Konan into pawns.
"This is the only way to survive..."
He hunted the exiled S-class rebel ninja - Scorpion's puppet core was imbued with Orochimaru's forbidden wisdom, Kakuzu's wealth fed Deidara's explosive art, and Hidan's bones of the evil god were forged into spears.
When Konoha's forehead protector, which symbolized hope, shattered in the scorched earth, the darkest Hokage had raised the banner of rebellion.
"Use the enemy's blood to rewrite the twilight of the ninja world."
