Chapter 196: Flower of Hope

Nagato struggled out of his machine car, and sat down on the chair in front of the hospital bed with the help of Xiao Nan.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiraiya, I almost killed you." Nagato bowed his head deeply to Jiraiya, like a child who had done something wrong.

Zilai laughed twice disapprerovingly: "As the saying goes, blue is better than blue, Nagato, you have surpassed me now." Then, Jiraiya looked down at Nagato's feet with a sad look on his face. Nagato, your legs ......"

Nagato looked up: "I've been on these legs for many years, and I'm used to them. ”

Jilai also sighed: "It seems that you have experienced a lot of things over the years." After I left, what happened to you, Yahiko, and Konan? Can you tell me? ”

Nagato: "Of course, sensei. ”

For the next three hours, Nagato once again recounted his past, this time in more detail than Naruto, every bit of his time with Yahiko and Konan, every laughter, every cry, Nagato completely told Jiraiya, that feeling, like a child who had been struggling outside returned home and told his parents about his experience outside.

After Nagato finished speaking, Jiraiya's face was covered with a thick layer of sadness, and he was silent for a while, and then slowly said, "It turns out that Yahiko died like this." ”

Yahikota...... He left with firmness, determination, and without the slightest remorse, and Yahiko entrusted me with a peaceful future, but I went astray. Nagato's eyes looked at Li Xiao who was standing beside the bed, and Li Xiao couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Li Xiao, you are right, it was I who failed Yahiko and betrayed [Xiao]. ”

Li Xiao was infected by Nagato's sad breath, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy. Li Xiao has never experienced any ups and downs in his life, so he is very unaccustomed to this kind of heaviness that is almost impossible to breathe. He barely squeezed out a smile and said to Nagato: "I did say this kind of thing, but weren't we still fighting at that time, I said nonsense, don't take it to heart." ”

Nagato shook his head slightly: "No, what you said is very right. ”

Li Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Those things have passed, everyone should work together now to look forward." Anyway, Nagato, can your leg be healed? ”

Lifting Nagato's legs, Xiao Nan immediately showed a look of regret: "I have tried many methods, but they have not been cured, although I can barely stand, but it is very inconvenient to move." ”

Li Xiao thought for a moment, and then looked at Jiraiya: "Lustful fairy, can Tsunade's mother-in-law heal Nagato's legs?" ”

"This ...... I'm not sure, but now that Konoha and Rain Shinobi have released their suspicions, I don't think Tsunade will be stingy to try to treat you. Jiraiya said, and then asked Nagato. Nagato, what are you going to do in the future? ”

Nagato thought for a moment, then replied, "I'm going to take care of the Rain Ninja Village, which has always had little contact with the outside world, and now, I think it's time to change this tradition." First of all, I want to go to Konoha first, forming an alliance with Konoha is a big deal, and it definitely needs to be affirmed by Konoha higher-ups. ”

"Don't worry, Tsunade's mother-in-law is very good, she will definitely agree to an alliance with Yushinobi." Naruto said happily.

At this time, Sakai, who had been silent on the sidelines, suddenly spoke: "Although it may not be appropriate to say this now, Danzo-sama may stop this alliance. ”

Speaking of Tuan Zang, Xiao Nan's face instantly turned cold, if it weren't for the collusion between Tuan Zang and Hanzo to know the organization and death, Yahiko would not have died, now Hanzo has been killed by Nagato, and Tuan Zang is still alive and well in Konoha Village.

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became heavy, and Li Xiao's heart couldn't help but immediately rise, Yahiko is the best friend of Nagato and Xiao Nan, and Nagato and Xiao Nan have every reason to hate Konoha, if it collapses again because of Tuanzang Nagato and Konoha again, then Li Xiao is really going crazy.

After being silent for a long time, Nagato let out a long sigh: "What happened in the past, let him pass, if Tuan Zang is willing to form an alliance with Yunin, I can ignore the past suspicions." ”

Xiao Nan stood beside Nagato, looking at Nagato's pale face, as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped talking.

Li Xiao knew how difficult this decision was for Nagato, which meant that Nagato completely let go of his hatred and was able to put the interests of the village before his personal grudges, and Li Xiao had admiration for Nagato for the first time. Li Xiao couldn't help but stretch out his hand and shook Nagato's shoulder vigorously, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to speak. In the end, Li Xiao could only say to Nagato: "Nagato, you ...... Great work. ”

"What will happen to the Xiao Organization in the future? Nagato. Jiraiya's expression became serious, and he asked.

Nagato: "The Akatsuki organization was created by Yahiko, and I won't let it disappear like this." But...... Now the real leader of the Xiao organization is not me. ”

"It's not you! Who's that? "Jiraiya was surprised.

Nagato was silent for two seconds, then slowly said the name: "Uchiha...... Spot. ”

When Nagato said the name, except for Li Xiao and Su Xiaoxiao, everyone else was shocked. Yamato said in disbelief, "Madara Uchiha is still alive?!" ”

Nagato looked up at Yamato and nodded, "That's right, he's still alive." So, even if Xiao Nan and I are not there, the Xiao organization will continue to capture tailed beasts. ”

"Madara Uchiha? Is that the stone statue standing opposite the original Hokage in the Valley of the End? Wasn't he a contemporary of the original Hokage? How is it possible to live until now? And isn't he dead? Naruto was puzzled for a moment.

"Naruto, there are many ninjutsu in this world that ordinary people can't understand, but they do exist, and although I don't know what method Madara Uchiha used, he is still alive." Nagato's tone was affirmative.

"The world thought that Madara Uchiha died in the Valley of the End, but they didn't expect him to be alive. This information is so shocking that it must be reported to Tsunade as soon as possible. Jiraiya said in a deep voice, with an unprecedentedly serious look on his face, and he said to Yamato. Yamato, you and Naruto should leave for Konoha now, and tell Tsunade about Madara Uchiha's still alive and the alliance with the Rain Shinobi. ”

"But, fairy, you haven't fully recovered yet." Naruto looked at Jiraiya reluctantly.

Jiraiya: "This information is very important, you and Yamato must hurry back to Konoha as soon as possible." As for me, with Nagato and Konan here, I don't need you to be by my side all the time, and when my injuries heal, I will return to Konoha with Nagato. ”

"I see, Jiraiya, let's go." Yamato nodded solemnly, then looked at Naruto.

Naruto hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to obey Jiraiya's order: "Okay, I'll go back to Konoha with Captain Yamato." ”

Naruto and Yamato decided to leave immediately, Jiraiya and Nagato did not see them off because of their mobility difficulties, Li Xiao, Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Nan sent the two to the entrance of Yu Ninja Village, and when parting, Xiao Nan stretched out his hand to Naruto, and the white paper flying in the sky instantly condensed into a pure white flower in her palm.

Konan said to Naruto: "Yahiko and Nagato are all I have, since Nagato chooses to believe in you, then I will also believe in you, I hope that this time, you can bloom the flower of hope that will never be defeated." ”

Naruto solemnly took Konan's "Flower of Hope" and opened his mouth to reveal a sunny and warm smile: "I will never let this Flower of Hope wither, you can look at it!" ”

At this moment, a bright and warm beam of sunlight suddenly pierced the sky and shone on Naruto's body, and Naruto's confident smiling face shone in the sunlight. Konan looked at Naruto and slowly widened his eyes in shock.

Yamato raised his head and looked at the sky, and said in surprise: "The clouds that have not dispersed for a hundred years in the country of rain have actually ......"

Li Xiao also raised his head, I don't know when, the rain gradually stopped, the clouds that covered the sky slowly fell apart, and beams of warm sunlight passed through the dark clouds and shone on the land of Yunin Village.

In the ward, Jiraiya watched Nagato sitting in front of the window, his hands forming a handprint, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Nagato, what are you doing?" ”

Nagato looked out the window at the vast expanse of blue sky, and a smile curled into the corner of his mouth, "Give Naruto a parting gift." ”
