Ame Orphans (Earth-1529)

"Our nation's still crying, still enduring all this pain. I used to hate it so much... but now I want to save it from the bottom of my heart. Its a very big crybaby, like I used to be. I can't just leave it."

- - Yahiko to Konan and Nagato

The Ame Orphans were a trio of children from Amegakure, in the Land of Storms, who were orphaned during the Second Shinobi World War. They fended off for themselves until they were found by the Sannin Iroh. Iroh took care of themselves as their own father, giving them food and shelter while helping them with their unusually powerful bending. They later went to become the founding members of the Akatsuki.
