Chapter 41: Nagato

Just when Konoha was restless because of Kushina's disappearance, the fate of some people in the distant Land of Rain also quietly changed somewhat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

……

Candles are lit in the warm room, the light is not dim or dazzling, and a brazier on the floor banishes the moisture out, leaving a dry, warm air.

Suddenly, a pair of purple rippled eyes opened. The moment those eyes opened, the rain clouds and thunder and lightning in the sky trembled in unison for a moment, as if they were terrified of the terrifying power.

Nagato stared blankly at the unfamiliar room in front of him, where was he?

The brain can't tell the concept of time anymore, how long has it been on the run? No, I can't remember clearly, the clearest node in my memory is when Konoha broke through the defense line and invaded the Land of Rain, and then two Konoha ninjas came to their home......

No, don't! Think no more! Think no more!

Nagato held his head in pain and shook his head desperately, banishing his deepest nightmare from his mind.

His eyes were wide open, and the world was different in those eyes. He could clearly feel the power contained in these eyes, which was a great power that could destroy the world. If it were normal, Nagato, who had a somewhat cowardly personality, would definitely rejoice in the power of these eyes, which was the power that would make him unique. But now, Nagato only finds it ironic.

"If this kind of power had appeared earlier, if it had been used by me earlier...... A little, a little, how can father and mother ......"

Nagato stared blankly at his palm, every line of the line on it was crystal clear.

After more than ten minutes, Nagato struggled to his feet and walked out of the room with a body that had not eaten properly for a long time.

The moment he walked out of the door, a crisp exclamation rang out in Nagato's ears.

"Dad, Mommy, he's awake!"

Nagato followed the sound and saw that it was a girl about his own age. The complexion is ruddy, the hair is beautiful blue-purple, and there is a unique paper flower pinned to the sideburns, which looks very cute and simple.

"Ah, is the kid awake?" A gentle, mature woman hurried out of the kitchen, wearing an apron that brought with her the smell of a warm meal.

"Oh, he's awake! Yahiko, alright, let's rest and come and see him! A well-mannered-looking man with eyes and a red-haired boy also approached.

Nagato felt a little nervous, he hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time. Along the way, he just fled, desperately fleeing, and had little communication with others except when he begged for food and water.

"Thank you, thank you for saving me!" After being stunned for a moment, Nagato remembered the politeness of peacetime, and immediately bowed and thanked the others.

A warm little hand touched Nagato's head, and a soft and lovely voice sounded in Nagato's ears: "No thanks, Mom and Dad said that although there will be danger, you can't die without help." “

Nagato looked up, and the girl was looking at him with an innocent and immaculate expression.

"Is it an angel...... In a trance, such a thought flashed through Nagato's mind.

"My name is Xiao Nan, what about you?" Xiao Nan tilted his head and looked at Nagato.

Nagato opened his mouth with great effort and jerkily spat out his name: "Nagato, my name is Nagato." “

"Nagato?" The red-haired boy walked over and patted Nagato on the shoulder very naturally, "My name is Yahiko, please advise me in the future!" “

"Okay, don't talk too much to Nagato, he's too weak, he needs to rest." The gentle and mature woman walked over, flicked twice on the foreheads of Konan and Yahiko, who were chattering non-stop, and then gently touched Nagato's forehead.

"Great, the fever has subsided, I should want to eat, right? Well? ”

Under the gaze of that gentle gaze, Nagato lost the ability to think, a warmth he hadn't felt in a long time.

He nodded.

The woman smiled: "I have already made it for you, a special medicinal porridge for the patient, if you don't wake up again, Xiao Nan and Yahiko will probably be unable to help but eat it." ”

She smiled and brought a small bowl of fragrant white porridge, dotted with green herbs picked from the mountains, which brought a bright green color and added a medicinal aroma to the porridge.

Grunt, Nagato swallowed.

It is white rice porridge, which was a very delicate food even before the war, and it is even more precious at this time.

Nagato shook his head, it was already a great kindness to be rescued, and if he ate such a precious food, the family would be very troubled. Along the way, Nagato has seen too much, and I don't know how many people have fought over a little bit of rice or vegetables, and sometimes even a piece of bread can make people argue. The collapse of all systems, the inability to provide food and drinking water, is the sorrow of a small country in the midst of war.

"Really, don't think about it so much, there's still plenty of food, enough for us to survive the war." Nadeshiko looked at Nagato, and mixed emotions also rose in her heart. This kid is about the same age as Xiao Nan, but he has suffered so much and is already so mature...... It's all war.

"Eat, eat." Nadeshiko gently stroked Nagato's head and said pityingly, "Don't worry, we have a lot of food stockpiled, not bad." ”

At this time, Kenjiro also spoke: "Eat, it's really not bad for you." If the guests go hungry, our family will not be happy. ”

After saying a few words, Kenjiro raised his glasses and subconsciously reached for a pipe on his body.

"Really, Kenjiro, didn't you say you should quit smoking? You've been injured, and the kid told you that although you're almost recovered, don't smoke! Seeing Kenjiro's movements, Nadeshiko's eyebrows suddenly raised, "If you collapse, what will we do?" ”

Kenjiro scratched his head: "Get used to it, get used to it, it always feels weird when the pipe isn't on you, can't you just take a puff?" ”

"Kenjiro!"

Nagato ate rice porridge at just the right temperature, the smell of medicinal herbs warmly nourishing his long-weakened body, and the sound of a warm quarrel came from his ears.

In the past, I used to do this myself. Eating the food in the bowl and watching my parents laugh and make noise because of all kinds of things, but, but, but......

Large tears fell from Nagato's eyes and fell into the porridge.

Xiao Nan gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Nagato's eyes with the palm of his hand, and whispered, "Don't cry, boys can't cry casually." ”

Nagato let out an "um" and nodded heavily.

……

Consciousness gradually became sleepy, after all, it had been weakened for too long, and it had only just woken up.

The soft quilt is wrapped around the body, bringing a warm feeling that has not been felt for a long time. There are no big drops of rain, and all of them are blocked by thick and tight roofs, so you can rest assured.

"Take care of your body, and then do your best to help your uncle and aunt, as well as Xiaonan and Yahiko."

"Don't lose it again, the warmth that you finally had again should never be lost again. You must, you must protect them, with these eyes, you will never let them be hurt again! ”

With this belief in mind, Nagato lay down on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

……

Dark space.

The spirit of the only one in heaven and the world exudes, it is a mountain that no one can cross, and it is an eternal myth.

In the darkness, a fan-like symbol could be faintly seen, which was the family crest of the Uchiha family.

"The eye of reincarnation is destined to struggle in eternal suffering."

"Uzumaki Nagato, I wrote your script for you a long time ago. Temporary happiness will always be lost, open your painful eyes and look at the world! “
