Chapter 603: Worse than miserable, I haven't been afraid of anyone
Among the trees, Nagato was drenched in cold sweat, and it looked like he had reached his limit.
"Nagato!"
Nagato shook his head and said in a low voice, "I didn't think it would still fail." β
"Nagato, retreat first, we'll collect Yahiko's body later. There are Jiraiya-sensei here, and they won't do anything to Yahiko's corpse. β
Nagato lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this moment, the big tree formed by the paper escape was suddenly pushed away, and the white-haired uncle walked in, and two toads stood on his shoulders.
"Yo, Nagato, Xiaonan, long time no see."
The casual words made both of them stunned, and that feeling was as if they had returned to their teenage years again.
Their eyes were on this man.
"Self-...... Teacher. β
Jiraiya looked at the scrawny Nagato and the pile of instruments on his body, and his brows were furrowed.
"Nagato, how did you come to be like this?"
Xiao Nan stood in front of Nagato and said, "Teacher Jiraiya, you don't know anything about us today. β
Zilai also laughed when he heard this, and then said: "Hahaha, Xiao Nan, I really don't know about your experience over the years, but I, who used to be your teacher, don't you even give me such a little right to know?" β
Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment and looked at the weak Nagato.
Nagato looked at the familiar white-haired uncle in front of him.
He had made up his mind to wipe it out.
But at the last moment, he was rescued.
At that time, Nagato's heart felt a sense of relief.
Nagato understands that he has not completely let go of this master-apprentice relationship, but after years of killing, he has become accustomed to using killing to solve problems.
Looking at Jiraiya, Nagato seemed to remember the time when he was young.
"Jiraiya-sensei, if you hadn't stopped Orochimaru from killing the three of us and hadn't become the teacher of my sect, maybe you wouldn't have become like this now, right?"
Jiraiya frowned and said: "Nagato, there are many choices in life, and what made you like this in the end was not the initial choice, but what kind of choice you made in the face of your so-called pain." If I'm not mistaken, Yahiko was the only one who died in that battle, right? β
Nagato's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.
"It seems that I was right, then, how did Yahiko die? Dead at the hands of Hanzari? Jiraiya asked.
"No, Yahiko died at my hands......" Nagato whispered.
Jiraiya was taken aback and said, "What? β
"No, Nagato, Yahiko's death is not your responsibility!" Xiao Nan said excitedly.
"Xiao Nan, with my hands, I personally sent Kunai into Yahiko's body, how can it not be my responsibility."
"That's the ...... that Yahiko bumped into himself"
After Xiao Nan finished speaking, his expression was gloomy.
Jiraiya's face was a little gloomy, and it seemed that Yahiko's death was indeed the crux of the matter.
"So, tell me what happened, I think as your teacher, I should have the right to share this pain with you."
Nagato looked at Jiraiya and said the events of the year word by word.
Yahiko died, under the coercion of the Yamasho Fish of the Rain Ninja Village that they worshipped back then.
Hanzari captures Konan and forces Nagato and Yahiko to kill each other.
In order to save Xiaonan, Yahiko voluntarily died under the bitterness of Nagato.
So, Nagato went out and summoned the Outer Path Golem.
Since then, he has embarked on the road of blackening.
"Jiraiya-sensei, Yahiko died, and I became the leader of Akatsuki and continued to run for peace. During this period, he lost countless companions. There is no peace in the Land of Rain. The so-called ninja village accepted the honorarium of the citizens of his own country and went on a mission. And these honorariums became the funds for the war. These people knew that they were indirectly financing the war in this way, but they were still immersed in it. β
"There is peace between the big countries, but for a small country like the Land of Rain, there is still war. What's more, once a war breaks out between major countries, the first thing to suffer is the small country. Peace in your big country is violence against our small country! β
"As long as you live, you will unknowingly hurt others. As long as there are people, hatred will not go away, and peace will not really exist in this cursed world! Mr. Jiraiya, everything you told us in the past is simply unrealistic. β
After Nagato finished speaking, his eyes locked on Jiraiya.
This former teacher, he suddenly wanted to hear some different answers from the mouth of Jiraiya.
Jiraiya laughed at himself and said, "Maybe you're right, I don't know anything about what happened to you. Indeed, I am not a qualified teacher. However, I may be talking about the ideal that I said is a fairy tale, but I believe that the time will come when people will understand each other. β
"Jiraiya-sensei, you are still so naΓ―ve. Do you think this kind of peace really exists? No kidding! As long as we live in this cursed world, peace is impossible. That's wishful thinking! β
"Then let me unravel this curse, and if peace really exists, I will seize it. I'm not going to give up. β
A lazy sound came from the entrance, attracting everyone's attention.
Silver-white hair is the first thing that catches the eye.
"Kakashi, ...... what you just said," Jiraiya wondered.
And Nagato also showed a look of surprise.
That sentence is so familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere.
At this point, Kakashi walked over to Jiraiya's side.
He also held a book about the size of an intimate paradise in his hand.
"Nagato, I don't know this answer, are you satisfied?"
Kakashi said, staring directly into the shocked reincarnation eyes.
"I ......"
Nagato was speechless for a while, and the familiar words reminded him of his former self.
That innocent boy once sent his youthful longing to his master on a rainy night.
I am willing to use my own strength to change the world.
Jiraiya took Kakashi's "Perseverance and Shinobi" and said, "Nagato, this book is your inspiration to me, and it is also the first book I wrote. Unfortunately, by the time I finished writing, I couldn't find you. β
"Jiraiya Teacher ......"
"Rather than using pain to guide the world, I hope that you will lead the world with the power that transcends pain. The road to peace, and only the most difficult one, is the true one. β
"Really? But who can go on with determination! Who can go through pain and not change! β
"Nagato, the pain may be unbearable, but it's no reason to change your dreams. The path of ninjas has always been full of hatred. Not long after I was born, I lost my mother, and when I was seven or eight years old, I lost my father. At the age of twelve, I lost two of my best buddies. They're just like your Yahiko and Konan. One of them also died in the same way as Yahiko for special reasons, and died in my hands. At the age of fourteen, I lost my master and my wife. I've lost all my life, but I've never changed! The world may be dirty, but that is not a reason to sink. β
"You ......"
Nagato was speechless for a moment.
(Nagato's inner OS: Nima, this guy is a Lone Star, right?) See a gram of one? Slip away from me~)
