With the step-by-step soul torture between the pillars, Nagato's irritable heart became more and more calm.

The more you think about it, the more you think.

A lot of things simply aren't like that!

Nagato found that in the process, he had lost a lot of things and gained some things.

But what you get and you don't lose much!

Especially the original idea.

It's just a matter of talking!

Just as many people are struggling, they just shouted that they want to start a business and set a small goal, but as some things happen, they gradually become the walking dead, repeating the same and boring things every day, thus forgetting the dreams of the past.

"Nagato ......"

Xiao Nan stared at Nagato thoughtfully, she knew that Nagato had the ability to resurrect, but she never thought of asking Nagato to resurrect Yahiko, let alone asking Nagato to resurrect Yahiko.

This is unfair to Nagato!

She can't accept Nagato's intentions, but she doesn't want to hurt Nagato either!

"It's true that I've changed!"

Nagato's thin face became even deeper, and he took a deep breath, letting his shriveled chest slowly bulge and spit it out gently, trying to calm his mood.

Scene after scene passed through my mind like a movie.

It was as if I had been pulled into that dusty memory for a long time.

The night that Xiao Nan picked it up.

On that rainy day, sitting on the steps, because he had just killed someone, he opened his eyes of reincarnation, and thus made a promise to himself.

I just want to protect both of them!

Nagato's own voice echoed in his head.

"I don't know when I became like this, I don't want to be me anymore, I don't even know who I am anymore!"

"I'm not Nagato!"

"I'm not Yahiko either!"

"I'm not Payne!"

"I'm just a guy who doesn't keep his promises!"

Nagato lowered his head, very silent, his mind became very chaotic, and gradually became clearer, and all the memories continued along with the events of the year.

Yahiko has not changed, it has always been so passionate, so energetic, that people want to follow.

Xiao Nan has not changed, he has always been so gentle and lovely, full of love for the world, and many things have been seen through and not said!

Even the teacher hasn't changed!

Still love to create, full of confidence in the future!

Only......

I've changed!

"It's me who is wrong!"

Nagato shook his head again and again, and he felt more and more that in this world, in this world that belonged to them, only he had changed.

He's getting extreme!

Got arrogant!

Even claiming to be God!

But, as he himself knew, he was not a god at all!

He assumed the name of Payne, and through the power of the Six Paths, he formed the Six Paths of Payne and began to show people with another face.

In fact.

From the moment Yahiko died.

Nagato died.

Just as when Lin died, Obito died.

They all chose to live with a new identity, maintaining the stubbornness in their hearts, insisting on guarding the pain in their hearts, and comforting themselves with pain to achieve something that was not what they wanted to do.

"Nagato, you haven't changed, you have always been the same in my eyes!"

Xiao Nan was keenly aware of the drastic change in Nagato's mood, and immediately opened his mouth to comfort him.

She was worried that Nagato would do something stupid.

Forthwith.

Xiao Nan looked towards the pillars.

"The First Generation!"

"You don't have to say these things!"

"It's our business, it has nothing to do with you!"

"If you don't have anything else to do, you can go!"

Xiao Nan's tone became sharp, Nagato said that he wanted to protect her and Yahiko, why didn't she want to protect Yahiko and Nagato.

"Xiao Nan, it's okay, what the first adult said is right, it's really me who was wrong!"

Nagato sighed deeply, his lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to continue to say something, but at this moment, his body also trembled.

"Maybe ......"

"I can get it back."

"I can do it!"

Nagato's hesitant eyes became resolute, he was a very persistent person himself, but he didn't figure out a lot of things.

Once you've figured it out, you won't hesitate.

Originally, in the plot, this is the reason for resurrecting the entire Konoha Village through the innate art of reincarnation.

After what I just said.

Nagato found the goal buried in his heart, and this goal was not to collect nine tailed beasts to make ten tails, but to fade out to protect the people he wanted to protect.

What is Ten Tails used for?

What is the use of deterring the world?

Yahiko is gone.

Xiao Nan hadn't laughed for a long time.

What's the use of remembering this so-called pain?

The more Nagato thought about it, the more he felt that all these years had been spent on useless things, and he felt a deep guilt for Yahiko, and even more indescribably indebted to Konan, who had never complained.

Things from the back then.

Now start over.

It's still too late!

Even if it's too late.

Did.

It's better than not doing it at all!

The seed in Nagato's heart, which had been forgotten in the depths of his memory, suddenly sprouted and thrived after passing through the mouth of the pillar.

It's out of control.

If you don't do it.

He will regret it for the rest of his life!

"Nagato, listen, don't do anything stupid, now that we're quitting the Xiao organization, the tailed beast won't be caught, let's go back to the hut, it's okay, don't think so much!"

A deep worry appeared on Xiao Nan's face, and even his voice became rapid.

She knew Nagato too well.

The last time I saw Nagato have such an expression.

Or after Yahiko's death.

She's scared!

She's already lost Yahiko!

I don't want to lose Nagato again!

"No !!"

Nagato roared hysterically, there was no anger in the roar, only the kind of unwillingness and sadness, and anyone could feel the pain contained in it.

"Xiao Nan."

"You don't understand."

"We can't go back."

"Wrong!"

"I was wrong from the start!"

"I believe that if it was me who died at that time, instead of Yahiko, Yahiko would definitely not do what I did!"

"Yahiko must not want to see us live in pain!"

"Hahahahaha......haha

When Nagato said this, he suddenly looked up and laughed, his smile was very miserable, as if all the suppressed emotions in his heart for so many years were vented in this laughter.

"What a loser I'm in!"

"I actually approached you with Yahiko's body."

"Xiao Nan."

"You must miss Yahiko a lot!"

"I'd love to see Yahiko really come back to you!"

"Actually......"

"From the beginning, I was the most redundant of the three of us, and the one who has always been taken care of by you!"

Nagato put away the smile on his face and clasped his hands suddenly, both hands raising their index and middle fingers, and his right hand on top of his left hand.

"Then let's start all over again!"
