Standing inside a massive underground warehouse owned by Aka Ryu, stood the entire team Hannya had built.
But this time they were all wearing matching clothes, long black cloaks with blood-red clouds covering them.
They had also chosen a name for themselves, Akatsuki, the dawn that will bring a new light to this war riddled world.
Stepping forward Hannya, who was wearing a purple kimono and a white mask with three tomoe, slammed her hand into the ground, "Summoning Jutsu: Gedo Mazo!"
The ground began to tremble and everybody took a step back, as a massive monstrous statue ripped its way through the floor.
Hannya raised her arms into the air and so did the statue, its fingers pointed at the heavens.
Turning around Hannya extended her arms towards the statue, "Bansho Ten'in." and ten rings flew into her hands.
"A new era is upon us my friends, and we will be the ones to lead it." she looked each one of them dead in the eye, "I hope you understand the importance of the mission we have decided to embark upon. For it will determine the future of our species. I have a mission for you all, you will each be split into teams of two and hunt down the host of the bijuu, bring them back alive."
Arata frowned, "Why?"
Walking over to him, Hannya grabbed his hand, placing a ring with the symbol of north in it, "Because I'm ordering you to do it."
She then gave each of them a ring, Stain had white, Rui had Jewel, Gentle had Sky, Itou had South, and Kasumi had Three.
Rui frowned "And the remaining four?"
Turning to the door Hannya nodded and through them walked a tall purple-haired woman with the same black cloak on as the rest of them.
"The first will go to Kaina here, or as most of you will know her as, Lady Nagant."
Hannya smiled as no one spoke out but she could still see the mistrust in some of the villains' eyes.
Reaching her new leader Kaina gave her a short bow, "Hannya-san, I'm happy to be working under you."
"I'm glad you joined us," Hannya said, extending her hand which carried the Vermilion ring.
Taking the ring Kaina quickly moved over to stand next to the rest.
Turning to look at the statue, Hannya waved her hand, "Everybody except for Stain may depart, you'll receive all the information you need from Hinata."

As soon as they had all departed Hannya fell backwards onto her back.
"Hey Chizome-san, come here for a second."
There was a rustling of clothes as he appeared beside her and sat down, "What is it?"
Hannya sighed and pushed her mask out of the way, "Can I trust you?"
He glanced down at her, "Yeah."
Chuckling Hana started removing her gloves, "That's good, you seem like an honest person."
"Do I now?" Stain asked as he stared up at the statue.
"Yes you do, and that is why I want to confide in you."
He glanced down at her and Hana placed a hand on Stain's knee.
"I…", she paused, "I've been lying to you all. My real name is Shimura Hana."
She closed her eyes and sighed, "I'm the granddaughter of the seventh user of One for All and my little brother is Shimura Tenko, the current user of All for One."
Hana reached up towards the sky, her hand trembling slightly, "I don't want him to die, I want him to live happily and become the hero he always wanted to be.
But the only way to do that is to become a villain so terrible that the heroes and villains have to work together to kill me."
Looking down at his leader, Stain's eyes widened, she was crying, a river of tears streamed down her face as she explained her plan to him.
His eyes softened and reaching down he picked her up into his arms.
"I can't do it." she sobbed her nails digging into the cloak, "I can't cause that kind of pain."
Chizome didn't know what to say, he just sat there rocking her in his arms.
She might have been the most powerful person on this planet but right now she just seemed like a little girl, scared of the future.
He swallowed and licked his lips, "If it makes you feel better, know that after you're gone I'll make sure to keep your brother safe."
Turning her gaze up at Stain, Hana began to cry again but this time with a smile on her face, "Thank you."

(U.A. Highschool)
Surrounded by all the top heroes, Nezu, the de facto leader of the resistance, stood up.
"So we are all in agreement?" everybody nodded.
Nezu's hand shook as he brought down a stamp on a file he had lying before him.
"Shigaraki Hannya, will from now on be classified as triple S-class."
