Chapter 99: I won't let myself lose important people again
It's still raining outside the window, like the sorrow of the rain country, which never stops.
Nagato slowly opened his eyes, but he still felt a little dizzy.
"I'm ...... Where is it? "It seems that the memory has been lost, and Nagato is trying to remember what happened.
"Don't talk...... "One hand covered Nagato's mouth, and the calluses on it gave Nagato a very familiar feeling.
Nagato turned his head and looked at the man covering his mouth. Through his red bangs, Nagato saw a frightened face.
Father...... Nagato thought blankly, suddenly realized something, and quickly looked to the other side, where his mother was looking out in a panic.
The sound of rustling outside came in.
"Did you find anything?" An unfamiliar male's voice came in.
"Ah, some cans!" The other replied, with joy in his voice.
Then there was the sound of the jar being opened, as if the people outside were not using a can opener, but something like a dagger.
"I haven't eaten in four days."
"No, it's three days." The other retorted to his companion.
"Alright, let's eat, I'm hungry."
"Let's look elsewhere in a moment, maybe we'll find something else." Then all that's left outside is the sound of eating.
Listening to the conversation and other voices outside, Nagato remembered that it seemed to be food that his father had worked so hard to find from outside.
A large area near their homes has become a war zone, and people have either died or fled, only their own homes, without the ability to escape, but fortunately they did not die in the aftermath of the battle.
Nagato no longer thinks about what he has forgotten, and in short, he should run away with his parents first.
yes, get out of here first.
"Let's go now." Nagato whispered to his father, "Be careful before they notice us." ”
Nagato's father glanced at Nagato in surprise, then at his wife and nodded.
"Don't make a sound, be careful."
With that, the three of them tiptoed out.
There was the sound of eating outside, and it was clear that the two people outside were eating, and this was the best time. Nagato's father took Nagato and Nagato's mother and walked cautiously towards the backyard, wanting to leave through the small door of his house.
As he was leaving, Nagato's hand accidentally touched the vase, startling him, but he immediately held on to the vase.
Relieved, Nagato looked at the vase suspiciously.
Why do I always feel like I'm going to touch this vase?
"Squeak" Nagato stepped on the floor in disrepair, and the sound it made was like dropping a small stone on the calm surface of a lake.
"What people!" The two ninjas who were eating outside stood up, and then they saw the Nagato family as they were about to escape.
"Ahhh Nagato's father rushed forward and stopped one of the ninjas. "Chance, let's go!"
"Damn, is it an enemy?" The other ninja was very flustered, in fact, the two of them were defector ninjas, afraid of the brutal war, so they fled from the battlefield and ended up in a predicament without food.
Whether it was Iwa Shinobi or Rain Shinobi, or Konoha ninjas, they were all their enemies, thinking of this, he didn't take a closer look at who was in front of him, but rushed directly and stabbed out the kunai in his hand.
Nagato's mother pushed Nagato open and shoved him in the direction of the backyard. "Run, Nagato!"
Nagato subconsciously wanted to run forward, but he stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Poof" "Poof" The sound of two blades stabbing into the body was heard, and Nagato's parents fell to the ground. There is no such thing as fighting, killing is only in an instant.
Nagato, who fell to the ground, looked at the scene in front of him and felt extremely familiar. Two kinds of pain came from his body, one was the headache of forgetting.
The other is heartache.
Tears welled up in his eyes, but not because of the pain in his body.
"What's going on, kid?" After killing Nagato's mother, the panicked ninja took a closer look at everything in front of him and realized that he and his companion had misunderstood something.
"You...... I'm so sorry...... I ......" The ninja looked at Nagato, trying to explain something.
"Hey, I said, that's enough." Nagato reached out and wiped away his tears, "That's enough." ”
“…… What did you say? Another ninja walked over and heard Nagato's words, but didn't know what was going on.
"I said, that's enough!" Nagato roared, then stood up.
Everything in front of me suddenly shattered, and a different scene was conjured.
"It's ......"
……
"I mean, if Nagato sees any bad memories in the illusion, he won't be angry, right?" Thinking of the illusion he had prepared, the night god was a little worried.
"No, it won't." Although he didn't think that Nagato would be able to use illusions like Konan, Yahiko still answered Yagami instantly's words very seriously.
"Nagato won't be angry. We are no longer the children who dare not face the past. Don't look at Nagato, who is usually very silent, but he is the one who bears the most burden among us. ”
"Don't underestimate his energy." Yahiko smiled and patted Yagami on the shoulder.
"HRE Celestial Sign!"
Suddenly, there was an angry roar, and the circle of flowers and trees in the distance suddenly swelled in a circle, and then suddenly shattered, turning into broken pieces of wood in the sky, and the wooden clone that the night god was hiding in it was also bounced away from afar.
Nagato appeared in the field of vision of the three, and he stood in the middle of the place where the circle of flowers and trees had disappeared, gasping for air.
Seeing Nagato come out, the three of them hurriedly ran over, and Xiao Nan came to Nagato's side first.
"Nagato, are you alright?" Xiao Nan held Nagato and asked with concern.
"It's okay, I just used that, and I accidentally consumed too much energy." Nagato shook his head, signaling that he was okay.
Nagato looked at Yagami who came over with Yahiko, and just now Xiao Nan ran the fastest, leaving the two behind. "In an instant, your illusion ......"
"Uh, you're not going to be angry, are you?" Night God was stunned for a moment, thinking that he should not know Nagato's past, so he quickly added.
"What you see in the illusion is what you remember deeply, but I didn't deliberately control it."
"I know, and I'm not angry." Nagato shook his head, "You made me reflect on the past, but I actually wanted to thank you." ”
"Introspection?" Yagami didn't understand what Nagato meant.
"The world is full of war and hatred, and my parents suffered from it. Feeling the pain doesn't make me stronger, but it does remind me that I need to be stronger so that I can protect those I want to protect. ”
"I'm not going to let myself lose important people anymore."
