28 Nagato's path to growth has shifted
When will the war end?
That's a really hard question to answer.
Especially when the person who asked this question was a prophetic child like Nagato, who had the potential to be blackened.
Kaguya squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then asked in a deep voice:
"Ask this question, does Nagato-kun want to condemn us for initiating a war with Konoha on our own initiative?"
"Probably, there's a little bit of a reason for that, but not exactly."
Nagato sighed, looked at the ruins of Vortex Village, and said unhurriedly:
"In the past few years, I have seen the war provoked by Yunyin against Shayin, the war provoked by Yunyin against Konoha, the war provoked by Iwakuin against Konoha, and the war that you Wuyin just provoked against Konoha."
"Whenever the last war looks like it's coming to an end, the countries that were watching it will go on to provoke new wars, spreading the chain of war and hatred, drawing more and more people into the scourge of war, displacing them and destroying their families."
"I thought that when the last country in the five major countries did not participate in the war and Konoha decided the victory, this long ninja war would come to an end."
"However, Iwakuin and Yunyin, who had already been defeated, and even Shayin, who had only the power to protect themselves because of the loss of the three generations of Kazekage, began to become ready to move again because of Mist Yin's actions."
Speaking of this, Nagato paused, and then, in a complex tone between a bitter smile and self-deprecation, shook his head and sighed:
"Although the war has brought many like-minded and peace-hungry companions to Akatsuki, if the war continues, let alone the new companions who have joined us with hatred and pain, I'm afraid that even Yahiko and I can't help but waver in our beliefs......"
"That, Nagato-kun?"
Kaguya Ren interrupted Nagato, who had begun to make pessimistic remarks on his own, and said with a strange expression:
"I think that instead of telling me about the ideals and purposes of your organization, and discussing the complicated question of when the war will end with a small dark department like me, who can't decide anything, you should first figure out why I am here quietly listening to you."
"Huh?"
Nagato, who was feeling confused about his future, heard Kabaya Rei suddenly come out of this, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, and then asked very suspiciously:
"Is there any value in this?"
"Yes, of course," Kaguya said with a roll of her eyes and some annoyance, "If you can figure this problem through, you will have already found the key to solving those problems to a certain extent." ”
"Really?"
"Really, if you feel like you can't find an entry point for a while, I can give you a very simple hint."
Kaguya Ren said as he raised his hand and pointed to his eyes, and motioned for Nagato to imitate his movements, Nagato first raised his hand in disbelief, and then, as if he had suddenly figured out something, looked at the fingers that stayed in front of his eyes, and whispered to himself:
"It's because ...... Do I have these reincarnation eyes? ”
"Or else? You don't know what kind of reputation our ninjas are in the ninja world, right? ”
Kaguya put down his right hand pointing at his eyes speechlessly, and said slowly:
"Cold, fierce, and without emotion, he completes every mission and never leaves a single prisoner on the battlefield...... Growing up in such an environment, do I look like a nice person who can communicate with strange ninjas? ”
"No," a shallow smile appeared on Nagato's face, "when we just met each other, you still wanted to use the power of the corpse vein to sneak up on me." ”
"But not only did I give up on that idea, but I listened carefully to every word you said and exchanged names with you."
Speaking of this, Kaguya's nerves, which had been tense, also relaxed a little, and he avoided making eye contact with Nagato's reincarnation eyes, and said softly in an envious and jealous tone:
"And all of this is because you have a pair of reincarnation eyes that I don't know how to fight."
Nagato didn't think about having to look at Kaguya, but after showing a suddenly realized expression, he asked with interest:
"Does the merciful monarch mean that if I have more strength than the Five Shadows, I will be able to make them take back the order to start a war?"
"That's not it, as a shadow, there are still a lot of things to carry, and it's impossible to take back the war order so childishly," Kaguya Ren shook his head, "But if you're really strong enough to that extent, even the Five Shadows can't ignore the thoughts and demands of your Xiao organization." ”
"But this is just a simple deterrent based on my personal strength, right?"
Nagato pondered for a moment and asked his own question, "Even if Gokage really saw our Xiao Organization's appeal for peace, he would have to consider the influence of our Xiao Organization before starting a war...... But as long as I die, or if there are stronger ninjas than me in the five ninja villages, then the war will come back again, right? ”
"But isn't it enough for you to at least let your thoughts spread and buy a certain amount of peace for the ninja world?"
Kaguya had already anticipated the question that Nagato might have, and he pointed to a building not far away that could still distinguish the family crest of the Uzumaki clan, and said unhurriedly:
"The last person who single-handedly shocked the entire ninja world and brought the history of ninjas into a new era was the first Hokage Senju Pillar of Konoha."
"When he was alive, all the four countries of the wind and thunder water did not dare to start a war lightly because they were afraid of his strength, and the system of the ninja village was widely adopted in the ninja world, and the ninja school founded by his younger brother the second generation Hokage Senju, and the excellent systems such as the dark department were also absorbed and accepted by various countries."
"I haven't lived through that era, and I don't know how powerful the Thousand Hands Pillar really is...... But Nagato-kun, the reincarnation eye you have is the most powerful ultimate pupil technique handed down by the six immortals, and if you use it well, you may be able to win decades of peace for the system reform of the ninja world like the Thousand Hands Pillar. ”
"Decades of peace...... Is it? ”
Nagato closed his eyes, recalling the time he had experienced from birth to the present, and based on this, he fantasized about the length of several decades.
"If I can really make the ninja world have peace for decades, even if it's just overall and superficial peace, I should, and I should be worthy of the eyes I opened, and the teachings and trust of Jiraiya-sensei, right?"
With an expression of realization, Nagato opened his eyes, intending to thank Kaguya for showing him a path that looked like he could take the passage.
But to Nagato's surprise, Kaguya Ren didn't wait for his response from where he had been standing before, but took advantage of the less than ten seconds of time he had closed his eyes and pondered, and disappeared silently into the autumn wind with a little bleakness.
"Did you escape? It's a pity, and I want to express my gratitude to you in person, mercy. ”
Shaking his head, Nagato activated the Instantaneous Technique, and in a few leaps and falls, he returned to the area he had previously discovered by Kaguya.
After a few short and bright whistles, a woman with short red hair, who appeared to be slightly older than Nagato, ran out of a very hidden building and approached Nagato's side with a worried expression.
"Nagato-sama, have you driven that abominable Mist Hidden Ninja away? That's great...... By the way, did you get hurt in battle? If you get hurt, just bite me and the wound will heal in a flash. ”
"Okay, okay, fire, I'm not injured, and I don't need treatment, don't, don't get so close......"
Nagato looked a little embarrassed and avoided the same clan Uzumaki Fire Burn who wanted to come up to check if he was injured, and seeing that Nagato had no damage or dust on his body, Uzumaki Fire Flame was also relieved, she pushed her glasses, and said with emotion:
"If I hadn't met you, Lord Nagato, I might have been discovered and captured by that Fog Hidden guy, woo, I just wanted to come back to see the Vortex Village before I left the Vortex Country, why did I meet the Fog Hidden guy? Didn't they take everything valuable from the village a long time ago? ”
"Probably, this is fate."
Nagato thought about the few coincidences he had encountered during this whimsical journey, and a relaxed smile appeared unconsciously on his young and heroic face.
Yes, this is probably my own special fate.
In the confusion, because of the news mentioned by the companion, he had the idea of going out for a walk.,On the journey to the hometown where he had never set foot, he rescued his compatriots from the same Uzumaki clan as himself.,And then from Kaguya, who doesn't act like a descendant of the Kaguya clan at all.,I get an interesting idea that can make me no longer confused......
If they go back with these harvests, Yahiko and Konan will definitely be surprised.
"By the way, I'm going back to the Land of Rain to find my companions, what about you? Do you plan to leave the Land of Vortex and settle in other countries as originally planned, or do you want to consider returning to the Land of Rain with me and becoming a member of our Akatsuki Organization? ”
"I'll pick the last one!"
"So fast!?"
"Because if you choose the latter one, Nagato-sama, who recruited me into the organization, must not mind taking care of me, who is also a member of the Uzumaki clan, right?"
“…… That's right, too. ”
Nagato shook his head and turned to look in the direction of the water country.
If I really became a stronger person than the Five Shadows, let Yahiko's thoughts and ideas be known to the world, and buy time for peace and development for the ninja world......
In what capacity will you, who have revealed this path to me, reunite with me, mercy?
The patriarch of the Kaguya clan?
Still is......
What about the four generations of Mizukage?
