Nagato's vague memory.

Thunderclouds rolled in the sky, and the rain intertwined and fell in the air irregularly.

Under the rain curtain is a simple hut, although the hut is simple, but it is very warm, this is a warm home that was built in the war.

They meet here, they grow up here, and even if the days are hard, there is laughter.

It was a family of four, with three children and an older gray-haired young man.

The three children are the same age and have the same background, they are all orphans of the war, and the white-haired young man is a ninja of Konoha who takes the initiative to stay, protect them in the war, and teach them the skills to survive.

On this day, Yahiko and Konan had not yet returned, and Nagato returned to the hut first, sitting on the wooden board at the door, looking at the rain curtain in a daze.

Memories are blurry here, and Nagato only remembers what he seems to have said.

Then the white-haired young man suddenly became excited, and said, "That's a good idea, maybe it's true." Haha, Nagato, thanks to you, I can write a good book. ”

Nagato looked at his teacher with a confident smile on his face and a Naruto-like look in his eyes.

"So, first of all, you have to decide on the name of the main character."

Nagato saw the sensei staring at a bowl of ramen on the table, and heard him muttering to himself, "Well, let's call it Naruto." ”

……

Naruto, that's right, this name is the name of the main character in the first book written by Jiraiya-sensei, and what exactly is the inspiration I brought to the teacher?

Nagato pressed his painful head with one hand, and his reincarnation eyes stared at Naruto Uzumaki and Jiraiya.

An inner voice called out to him, asking him to accede to Naruto's request and join the Myojin Gate.

However, Nagato did not comply, but continued to insist, and after thinking about it, he said, "Naruto Uzumaki, there is one more thing you haven't clarified. ”

"Senior brother, please speak." Naruto responded.

"If we win after fighting Hikari and his representatives of the extraterrestrial forces, will the ninja world return to its original state?"

"Senior brother is worried that after the ninja world solves the strong enemies outside, it will fall into internal strife again, and there will never be real peace?"

Nodding, Nagato said, "From ancient times to the present, mankind has never had true peace. Can you be sure that after that, the ninja world will really enter the era of peace? ”

Naruto Uzumaki was also thinking about this problem, if the ninja world wants real peace, it must resolve all disputes, and after a long time, he said: "Senior brother, just keep an eye on me, I will prove it with my actions." ”

Nagato looked at him deeply, "I can join you, but if the Great War is over and the ninja world returns to its current situation, I will definitely establish Akatsuki again and guide the world with pain."

For I seem to have seen that as long as we live in this cursed world, peace can never really exist. ”

Naruto Uzumaki's gaze suddenly fell on the book in his hand, "Then, it's up to me to unlock this curse, as long as peace really exists, I'll catch it, and I won't give up." ”

The firm voice was like a giant hammer, smashing into the hearts of everyone, and everyone could feel Naruto's unshakable determination.

Nagato even trembled his entire soul, "You...... That line ......"

His hand on his head seemed to work harder, the sentence was so familiar, as if he had said it before, and he also remembered the words he had written with his own hand.

"That's right, all the lines I just said are from this book," Naruto opened "The Legend of the Root Shinobi", "Jiraiya-sensei wants to use this book to change the world, and as I said before, this book was inspired by you, Senior Brother." It was this sentence that the teacher wrote this. ”

Nagato's hand trembled faintly, the pain in his brain suddenly dissipated, and he finally remembered!

……

The misty smoke and rain are endless.

A teenager sits outside the house with a young man with white hair.

The boy asked, "Teacher, what are you thinking about in peace?" ”

The young man looked up at the smoke and rain and said, "This world is full of wars, and hatred is spreading. I'm always wondering how I can change all this, what peace really is, and I want to know the answer to this. ”

The young man frowned, and suddenly heard the teacher next to him laugh again: "If the teacher doesn't find the answer, then it's up to your reincarnation eye." ”

Hearing this, the young man nodded heavily.

Time flies, three years have passed.

Accompanied by the young man, the three of them have grown tremendously both physically and mentally, and the boy has never forgotten to think about the problem back then.

On this day, Nagato found the teacher by himself.

He sat obediently outside the house and said, "Jiraiya-sensei, I've been thinking about the hatred of this world. ”

"Oh, is there any good way?"

Nagato's eyes reflected the rain outside, and he said, "I don't know how to achieve peace yet, but one day I will break this curse!" As long as peace really exists, I will seize it. More important than the method is the power of believing! ”

Hearing this, the white-haired young man suddenly became excited, and said, "It's a good idea, maybe it's true." Haha, Nagato, thanks to you, I can write a good book. ”

Nagato looked at his teacher with a confident smile on his face and a strong glint in his eyes, which was a dream and hope.

"So, first of all, you have to decide on the name of the main character."

Nagato saw the sensei staring at a bowl of ramen on the table, and heard him muttering to himself, "Well, let's call it Naruto." ”

……

Nagato finally remembered that it was indeed what he said, and it was also his original dream.

"One day I will break this curse, and as long as peace really exists, I will catch it!"

This sentence has been circulating in the bottom of his heart, Nagato's reincarnation eyes looked at Jiraiya and Naruto in front of him in a daze, why is he the only one who has forgotten his dream?

Both the master and the junior brother have always believed in his words and are firmly implementing them with his words as the driving force.

"More important than the method is the power of believing!"

That's right, more important than the method is the power of believing, and after Yahiko's death, Nagato himself has long since stopped believing in it.

Nagato's gaze shifted to Jiraiya, the teacher had always believed him.

"Maybe you're the reincarnation of an immortal, I think there's an idea of an immortal in your eyes. I once received a prophecy from an immortal that my disciple would bring great change to the world of ninjas, and I was the one who guided the changemaker. ”

The former teacher pressed one hand on the top of his head and touched it vigorously, just like the teacher in front of him touched Naruto, and said, "I believe that person is you, and I believe in you too!" ”

Nagato's gaze shrunk, staring at Jiraiya with some complexity, he still remembered what the teacher had said after he came to Rain Ninja Village and saw that the leader of Akatsuki was him.

"Instead of using pain to guide the world, I hope you can use the power that transcends pain to guide the world!"

At that time, I wanted to kill the teacher, but the teacher probably still believed him from the bottom of his heart.

When he forgets his dreams, but others still believe in his dreams, this feeling is particularly regrettable.

The defenses built in Nagato's heart completely collapsed in this instant, and both pain and hatred disappeared.
