Hokage: I use spiritual power to release ninjutsu!

Rainy Village.

"Tick tock..."

The lingering cold drizzle is getting heavier and heavier; the entire village is shrouded in misty water vapor, making it difficult to see clearly...

Located in the center of the village, on top of the tallest building.

Konan carefully placed Nagato, who was as light as nothing in her arms, on the tongue-shaped sculpture that had already been covered with a layer of soft white paper.

This is his favorite place in Rain Ninja Village.

"Cough...cough...cough..."

Perhaps he felt the breath of a familiar place, and the cold rain falling on his face but he was already used to it; Nagato gradually woke up from his coma and let out an extremely weak cough.

"Nagato..."

Konan looked at Nagato's thin and sunken cheeks, feeling that the other person's breath of life was getting weaker and weaker, and her voice was choked and trembling;

It was as if there was deep grief, blocking her throat, making it difficult for her to speak complete words; she could only call out her friend's name very softly...

"Xiao...Xiaonan, I'm sorry...I really don't want to...don't want to make you so sad and sad..."

When Nagato heard the sound, his eyelids trembled and he opened his eyes, wanting to take a look at Konan; but everywhere he looked, there was darkness.

There were only two dark blood holes left in the eye sockets, which looked terrifying and ferocious;

No more blood flowed out of the wound, and the blood in the corners of the eyes had dried up, leaving faint blood stains on the thin and pale face...

His eyes were violently taken away, his legs were crippled, and a cold black stick was stuck in his back. His whole body was so thin that it was no better than a skeleton.

Now we are entering the final countdown to death!

"Nagato...!"

Seeing her last relative in such a miserable state; Xiaonan could no longer restrain herself and burst into tears...

"Xonan...that's enough...it's enough to be able to return to the Rain Ninja Village before dying;"

Nagato wanted to raise his right hand, trying to help Konan wipe the tears on his face; but he only raised it slightly and then fell back weakly...

As if he realized something, a look of intense worry suddenly appeared on his face, and he urged urgently:

"Leave quickly and don't stay too long; since Uchiha Madara has broken his skin, he will definitely not let you go!"

"In order to ensure that his information is not leaked, he will definitely kill everyone!"

"Let's go! Let's go quickly! I'm destined to die, don't waste time on me, you must live well!"

Nagato was like a flashback, and his body suddenly regained some strength. With trembling hands, he pushed Konan, trying to make her leave immediately.

However, Konan turned a deaf ear and just half-knelt on the spot silently; with Nagato's current strength, he couldn't push it at all.

"Nagato..." Xiaonan tightly grasped the right hand pushed by her friend with both hands, and the touch conveyed was no different from five dry branches.

"I won't leave, I won't go anywhere; this is our home, the place where we have been living and growing;"

"Without home, without you, where can I go..."

Konan whispered in a whimpering tone, her face full of confusion and pain.

Then he put Nagato's right hand against his face, which could somewhat warm the cold and thin right hand.

"Oh...Xonan, I'm sorry Yahiko, I couldn't protect you..."

Nagato's voice was full of self-blame, and he slowly stopped his words of comfort.

He knew that Xiaonan's will was extremely strong, and as long as she made up her mind, she would never change.

"This is my choice. Just like you and Yahiko, you also have your own persistence; I am no longer the little girl who can only hide behind you..."

Konan's left hand gently tidied Nagato's messy hair and wiped the dried blood on his face.

"Yes... Yahiko's choice..."

The image of Yahiko crashing into the kunai in his hand suddenly appeared in Nagato's mind...

"Cough...cough...cough..."

After he coughed again, his breath dropped suddenly and was almost inaudible.

The right hand that was attached to Xiaonan's cheek also seemed to lose its strength and quickly slipped down.

"Xiao...Xiao...Nan, you...you...must...live well, well..."

Nagato's intermittent voice stopped suddenly; the expression on his face suddenly froze, with deep worry and an inability to let go.

Until the last second before his death, he was worried about Xiaonan's safety...

"Nagato...Nagato, wuwuwu..."

Xiao Nan shouted softly, her shoulders couldn't stop shaking, tears fell one drop at a time, and she fell into silent sobs;

As if he was afraid of disturbing Nagato, who was sleeping peacefully at this moment...

My relatives haven't had a good night's sleep for a long, long time, so it's time for Nagato to have a good rest...

After a while, Xiao Nan slowly stood up; her originally bright light orange eyes were now gray and dead;

His whole body was lifeless, like a walking zombie...

The last relative left, and she had no one to confide her feelings to in this cold ninja world;

No one understands her, and no one will protect her. She doesn't even know what the meaning of living is.

There is no goal, no direction; there is a huge and boundless hole in the heart, and nothing can fill it...

"Crash!"

White paper flying all over the sky quickly wrapped Nagato's body;

Xiao Nan gently picked it up and flew quickly in one direction; it soon disappeared into the misty rain...

......

The sky is dark and it is approaching evening.

The gorgeous sunset that originally belonged to autumn has difficulty penetrating the dark clouds that block Yuren Village all year round.

At this moment, there is an inland sea not far from the village.

Xiaonan wore white paper flowers on her head and stood quietly on the sea.

He raised his head slightly and looked blankly at the sky full of dark clouds above; letting the cold rain slap on his face.

The rain slipped from the corner of his eyes, constantly bringing out droplets with a little warmth.

She had been standing here alone for nearly an hour; the Akatsuki robe on her body had been soaked by the rain and clung tightly to the surface of her body.

A head of light blue-purple hair is the only bright and bright embellishment in this dim environment.

Xiaonan is waiting...

Waiting here for the person who is destined to come, no matter who it is...

"Tatt...tatt...tatt..."

At this moment, a sound of light footsteps came from a distance.

The person who came was wearing a mask and had long, deep black hair that slowly floated up as he moved forward.

The raised hair is now slender and has clear edges; its surface is illuminated by a shimmering light.

even!

The other party's entire body seemed to be enveloped in a fluorescent light, bringing another glimmer of light to this dark world.

Even though the rain was pouring down, it did not wet the visitor's clothes or hair at all; the visitor seemed to be independent from the heavy rain, looking ethereal and otherworldly...

Fluorescent green light, and light blue-violet light;

Under this dark and gloomy sky, there are only two colorful colors...
