Hokage’s strongest sword

I’m Just a Frog in a Well

“Create more profound pain?” Hearing Jiraiya’s words, Payne didn’t mean to refute at all. Instead, he nodded and said to Jiraiya with some approval: “That’s right! I’m just creating more pain. Deep pain.”

“Mr. Jiraiya, I don’t know if you have such a feeling. Whenever something happy happens around you, even if it has a profound impact on you, after a period of time Your memory of such so-called ‘happiness’ will gradually fade.”

“However, when something hurts you, you can still remember such a thing very clearly even if it is a small harm. If this thing causes serious loss and harm to you, even if you deliberately forget , once you receive a little incentive, you will immediately recall the pain you experienced at that time?”

Looking at Jiraiya, Payne slowly threw out his own question, and Jiraiya also racked his brains hoping to refute Payne, but after thinking about it, he found that all his “refutations” seemed to have some loopholes and barely. People themselves need to experience pain in order to grow up. There is no reason to refute this matter.

When you fell down because you ran too fast and didn’t see a pebble on the ground when you were young, a “pen” like “pain” will write for you in your memory: “Don’t do it again. Ignore your surroundings while running or you will get hurt. ‘

Although such a memory may be erased, such a truth will always remain in your memory, making you always remember that you have suffered a lot because you did not pay attention to your surroundings.

“Compared to happiness, pain is obviously more memorable. This is human beings!” Seeing that Jilai also hesitated for a long time but still couldn’t find a reason to refute, Payne did not deliberately let Jilai also say From my point of view, I went on to say: “The reason why the Akatsuki organization was named “Akatsuki” by Yahiko and Xiaonan by me is because we hope that the organization we established can become a place for ninjas in the dark and long night of the ninja world. One who brings light to the world.”

“In the beginning, as you said, Mr. Jiraiya, we hoped to bring peace through more gentle means. But what did we get? Being hunted down, coerced, and betrayed! This is what we have experienced before. It’s clear that we don’t have the slightest evil intentions, and we’re working hard for such a noble thing, but why are we treated like this!”

“At that time, I didn’t understand. But when Yahiko was forced into a difficult situation by Sanshoyu Hanzo and Shimura Danzo, and sacrificed his life to save Yahiko, I knew that our previous actions could not serve the ninja world. Bring peace. Ninja world is a needFor a child who needs to be educated, only the unforgettable pain can make this naughty child understand how to be a good baby! ”

“The ninja world needs deeper pain! Because this kind of pain is the most powerful seed to save the ninja world!”

It was obvious that he was telling about the unfair treatment he had experienced, but Payne’s expression remained the same, without remorse or annoyance, as if he was telling the story of this other person in a flat manner. But when Payne said that this ninja world needs pain, the deep backlog of emotions in his heart finally gushed out. That icy face finally took on a touch of ‘humanity’, rather than a compassionate ‘god’.

Listening to Payne’s words, I couldn’t help thinking of a prophecy once made by the Great Toad Immortal. Not only did my disciples have the “son of prophecy” who could save the ninja world and end the war, but also among my disciples There will be a ‘Son of War’ who will start the war for the ninja world. Now, although Payne has not made his plan clear, but the way of educating the “disobedient children” in the entire ninja world, after careful consideration, one can find that it must spread greatly and cause great harm throughout the entire ninja world The battle is over, isn’t it?

“Son of War?” Looking at Payne, Jiraiya gradually muttered in his mouth, with a bit of grief and sympathy in his eyes. But immediately, Jiraiya’s eyes became firm: “Pain, to be honest, my vision is not as far-sighted as yours.”

“You have put your vision beyond ‘human beings’, and then put it in the position of ‘gods’. You even call people in the entire ninja world ‘disobedient children’. I don’t think so Doesn’t exist. Compared with you like this, maybe I’m just a ‘frog in the well’ peeking into the world in a dry well?”

“However, when you decide that you want to hurt the entire ninja world through war, don’t you just become one of the ‘disobedient children’? Indeed, what you have Your reincarnation eye is the undoubted ‘God’s Eye’, but your body and your soul are still a ‘mortal’ who was born and grew up in the world. A ‘mortal’ puts himself in the eyes of a ‘God’ In terms of status, what you bring to others and yourself will not be salvation, but destruction!”

“You have embarked on the wrong path. As your teacher, it is also my duty and obligation to teach those naughty children. Payne… No! Nagato, I will definitely stop you from doing such a dangerous thing !”

Saying that, Jiraiya’s body also squatted down slowly, one hand was placed on the ninja bag behind his back, and the other hand was opened in front of his body, the white hair on his head was windless, Jiraiya’s face that used to have a wretched smile turned extraordinarily serious at the moment.

Obviously, Jiraiya is also ready to fight.

Payne looked at Jiraiya who was opposite him, and his eyes couldn’t help but bring a bit of reminiscence. When Jiraiya stayed in the Land of the Rain back then, when he protected his weak self, Yahiko, and Konan time and time again, wasn’t that the look he had? Although Payne has always said before, happy memories are always easy to fade. But at this moment, Payne doesn’t seem to have completely forgotten that period of hard but extraordinarily happy days.

“Mr. Jiraiya, to be honest, I don’t want to confront you with swords. After all, you and I used to have a master-student friendship. As long as you are willing to leave and promise that you will not interfere with the affairs of the Akatsuki organization and the ninja world, I can let you go back. !”

Payne was still a little soft-hearted towards his former teacher, and even let him go. But Payne, as a disciple of Jiraiya, naturally knows that his persuasion is useless. After all, Jiraiya is such a person who can put his own safety in the lowest position for a more noble cause!
