In one final explosive bout of pain, the tomoe in Takahiro's Sharingan began to spin rapidly, so much so that it soon seemed to merge into a single shape resembling a pinwheel.

Takahiro, as far as he knew, was one of very few Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan. He sobbed for a while longer before he managed to get a hold of himself at least enough to function. When he looked up he was faced with a young girl, no older than 8 he guessed, she complimented Ranta, in a way it put his pained heart to rest. He'd died a hero. Really that was more than anyone could ask for. But what happened next was excruciatingly tragic. After stabbing the other robbed man who must have been Ranta's opponent, she stabbed herself. For a moment Taka wanted to throw up, but at least Shinra was able to lower her to the ground softly as if she was falling asleep.

Taka stood up slowly, wiping tears from his eyes. No doubt Shinra would notice the drastic change in his eyes. He would nod, "He needs a proper send off though, a monument or something, you have earth release right" Before he could continue they were momentarily blinded by the appearance of over 20,000 souls, Ranta at their forefront. He approached the pair and opened his arms, only to be immediately brought into an embrace by the pair of them. "Ranta ... I'm so sorry. I wasn't here but I swear" He held back sobs "I won't let you or any of Sunagakure be forgotten. We'll ..." He took a deep breath "We'll see you one day Brother, when we're grey and old. After all ... Instinct never dies huh?" He would force a smile but the tears still flowed freely. Taka held the hug for a while before stepping back.

"Come on Shinra. Let's make his resting tomb. And head home, We'll need to report to Keldran" He looked once more at Ranta before shrugging off his Instinct jacket and laying it over him, the golden crest fading with the lack of chakra. "Look after it Ranta" He would smile, though it was the smile of someone who had lost someone dear to them. He also took out the Suna flag and laid it over him like a blanket "Ranta, you are the Sand, and always will be" While Shinra set up a sort of shrine or monument Taka would approach the body of the Akatsuki Leader. He inspected him carefully before stripping him of the robe and collecting any items he deemed of interest like weapons. Tucking it away he went back over to Shinra and stood beside him "Won't be the same without him ... We owe him a lot. All we can do is make him proud" He sighed "Let me know when you're ready to leave" His voice was sad and dull, and he looked tired.
