no because thinking about the ame trio does make me insane actually… the codependency of all… they couldn’t let go of yahiko. they couldn’t move forward without him by their side. but the him isn’t actually him. its just a corpse in some puppet strings. it’s just their grief taking physical form and walking with them

The Ame-orphans as your adopted children headcanons
────────────────────────────────────
When you told them that you wanted to adopt them, they all teared up. Even Yahiko, who had always put on a brave face for the sake of his two friends
They were so grateful and happy that they even offered to help you with the chores
Yahiko, despite being used to acting tough all the time, is actually a big ol' baby and probably the most attached to you. Although he fiercely denies it
To him, it feels nice knowing that he can drop the brave act and be a child again, without having to constantly worry about his friends and his own well-being
He's also a cheeky little prankster and that certainly doesn't change with age. If anything, he becomes more creative but never to the point where he could harm others
A sucker for bad puns that aren't actually funny, but you'll laugh anyway because his laughter is hella contagious
His room is almost always messy, though he calls it "Experimental order"
Konan is the responsible one, who often has to chide her friend for his pranks, especially when poor Nagato is the target of them
Will not hesitate to throw hands with Yahiko if he's being particularly annoying and even chase him around the house with her paper shuriken
As a kid, Konan was just as touch deprived as her two friends and thus greatly appreciated the cuddles and good night kisses her adoptive parent gave her
Whenever she had a nightmare, she would try to suck it up and curl up under her blanket, whimpering and sobbing softly, before eventually coming to your room to ask if she could sleep in your bed. She just doesn't want to be a burden, or come off as a baby
After telling her that she's not a burden if she needs someone to talk to or even hold her during her darkest moments, the wall that had kept her from reaching out "too often" disappeared and now you're the first person she talks to about literally everything
Her room is always tidy and her clothes are neatly folded. Even as a teenager
She's an early bird and will often help you prepare breakfast
Nagato is the softest of them all and, just like Yahiko, very attached to you
He also shares Konan's mentality of not wanting to be a burden and often keeps his struggles and worries to himself
Only when he can't hold it in any longer will he break down and cry his broken little heart out
He's a very sensitive and touch starved soul and despite not wanting to come off as bothersome, would hold onto you and cuddle with you for hours. Sometimes even nodding off or straight up falling asleep in your arms
He loves helping you out in the kitchen and will eagerly listen and watch when you teach him how to cook
Just like Konan's, Nagato's room is also very clean and neat
He's the quiet child who enjoys reading a lot
He really loves it when you read to him as he finds it soothing to listen to a dearly loved person's voice while slowly slipping off into the land of dreams
Just like Yahiko and Konan, Nagato is plaqued by nightmares of the war and his parents' passing and is constantly torn between coming to you for comfort and remaining in his bed and dealing with it himself
Will need a lot of reassurance from you that it's okay to come to you no matter how late it is and ask for comfort

My two pieces focusing on Amegakure and the Ame trio for @narutoversevacation
I wanted to show happy scenes under the rain - in a happier timeline.
[Image ID:
The first image is a digital drawing of the ame trio fishing in the swamps, Yahiko in the center holding a big fish with the other two hugging him from both sides. The three of them are standing knee up in the water, wearing their training kimonos, covered with swampy water and mud. Nagato is holding a net behind Yahiko's back. Ther's a frog on a lily pad. The three are smiling wide, wearing matching nailpolish.
The second image is a digital drawing of an older ame trio in an alternate universe where Yahiko lives. They all are wearing the first akatsuki uniforms. The three of them are flying/floating over Ame - Konan flying with her paper wings while Nagato floats with his rinnegan, both are holding Yahiko's hands to make him fly by their sides. The three of them have visible piercings, and all their outfits match. They are all smiling happily, Yahiko with his eyes closed while the other two look at him lovingly. /.End ID]

Honestly Jiraiya taking that old Toad's prediction at face value and trying to follow it to the letter was the biggest mistake of his life. Constantly travelling widened the gaps between himself and his teammates. It made it easier for Tsunade to leave. It made it easier for Orochimaru to turn on them, and then leave as well. He felt justified in abandoning the Ame orphans even though they'd come to rely on him. He wasn't there for Naruto, despite him being the very "disciple" he spent so long searching for.
There's the saying that people often meet their fates on the paths they seek to avoid them - Jiraiya did the reverse. His constant chasing of that great destiny led him to his ultimate destruction.

pain/nagato's character arc is a prime example of how the imperialist military-industrial complex itself is the radicalizing force behind most of what the dominant class deems 'terrorism'—the category into which most legitimate armed resistance is placed despite being among the only means of effectively defending against and dismantling state violence.
