People are in Hokage, one person at a time

For a boy who has spent his life being a middle school student, there is probably nothing more cruel than letting him know that he is not actually the protagonist.

Qingyuan didn't feel any guilt in his heart. Nagato was going to die sooner or later anyway. It didn't matter whether he died sooner or later or in what way. It was still death, right?

Adhering to the humanitarian spirit, Qingyuan decided to let Nagato go down and become a ghost who knows the truth. However, Qingyuan obviously overestimated Nagato's psychological endurance. The truth was like a sharp knife piercing Nagato's heart, and in the near future, this sharp knife called the truth will also pierce into the heart of the owner of the pair of samsara eyes.

It feels so good to talk nonsense!

Qingyuan remained calm on the surface, but in his heart, well, that's just the way it was.

Jiraiya was a little embarrassed. Although he didn't want to be a fool, wasn't this really too cruel for Nagato? Looking at his appearance, I would have believed him if you had told me that he had just eaten two people. I didn't expect Nagato to look so skinny and he had vomited so much blood.

"Nagato!"

The cold and domineering Konan burst into tears when she saw Nagato like this. Seeing the girl so sad, Jiraiya instinctively wanted to step forward to comfort the teacher, but as soon as Jiraiya raised his leg, Konan turned her head and stared at Jiraiya with an expression that could not be described as indifference or something else, which immediately made Jiraiya put his legs down again.

The master and disciple looked at each other in silence. For a moment, Konan staggered towards Jiraiya uncontrollably.

"Let's go with Jiraiya-sensei, Konan. You have never participated in the organization's missions and have always been maintaining the stability of the Rain Country. Konan, you are different from me. You should live."

Suddenly, Nagato sat up with the help of the armrest as if nothing had happened.

Qingyuan knew that Nagato's life had reached its final stage. Under the effect of adrenaline, a dying person would have a brief moment of lucidity, and when this last string broke...

"Nagato!"

"Don't come over here, stop!"

Nagato roared, "I have sinned deeply in my life. All the disasters, Yahiko, the Kingdom of Akatsuki and the present are caused by me. Konan, I am very tired and can no longer accompany you. Listen to Master Jiraiya. You are a disciple of the Three Ninjas of Konoha. No one will do anything to you. Konan, I know you actually don't like what Akatsuki does, but because of me, you have been forcing yourself to accompany those rebellious ninjas. Now everything is over, let the sins of Akatsuki sink with me. Promise me, Konan, you will live well with me and Yahiko's share!"

"Nagato!"

"Don't come over here, don't have anything to do with me, just think of it as a nightmare, Konan, take off this coat and go to Konoha with Jiraiya-sensei."

"Nagato, don't..."

bang~

Konan's body was bounced away by Nagato's repulsive force. Although the force was not great, Nagato's determination did make Konan stunned for a moment.

"Let's bury everything about Akatsuki with me, Uchiha Qingyuan, right? I hope you can keep your word. Xiaonan has never participated in the activities of the Akatsuki organization. If you promise me that you are willing to protect Xiaonan's safety, I will tell you all the tailed beasts collected by the Akatsuki organization."

"You are not qualified to negotiate terms."

In response to Nagato's words, Qingyuan rejected Nagato's PY request in an extremely tough manner.

"For Jiraiya's sake, I can promise that as long as Konan doesn't go against Konoha, she can continue to live as the agent of the Rain Country. As for the tailed beast you mentioned..."

"Mist Ninja, the Fifth Mizukage is a member of Akatsuki. He has been trying to replace me and become the new leader of Akatsuki. The Outer Path Demon Statue and the seven tailed beasts are all in the Mist Ninja, and the one-tailed beast has been captured by Scorpion..."

"What? Qingyuan, when did this happen?!"

Jiraiya said anxiously that although Temari was not Minato's biological daughter, she had inherited Namikaze's surname after all, so it was reasonable that Temari was his granddaughter.

"Do not be nervous!"

Qingyuan suppressed Jiraiya's question with a cold face. Out of trust in the village's strength, Jiraiya temporarily suppressed his anxiety. Nagato didn't care about this. He just wanted Konan to survive. As for helping Konoha, although he didn't know who transplanted the Rinnegan for him, since the Rinnegan evolved from the Sharingan, his tragedy must be related to Konoha.

"Remember your promise, Konan, and leave with Jiraiya-sensei. Just think of it as the last thing you do for me. Can you give me a fireworks display before you leave? I'm too tired, so I'll just stay here."

"Ok?"

"Qingyuan, just do as Nagato says. He has no chance of survival."

Jiraiya's expression was somewhat gloomy. Although he had only taught Nagato for three years, a great hero or something like that...

"Since you've said so, Uzumaki Nagato, you'd better take care of yourself."

After saying that, Qingyuan turned and looked at Jiraiya and the heartbroken Konan.

"After you get out, are you able to send him off?"

Konan didn't answer, but turned into a sky full of paper butterflies and kept flying in the air under Qingyuan's eyes. She first flew over Nagato's body, and after circling a few times, these paper butterflies flew out of the cave.

"It's so beautiful."

The effect of adrenaline wore off, and it was visibly that Nagato's mental state had become extremely weak. He closed his eyes silently and made no sound anymore. He watched for a while, until he was sure that the last bit of Nagato's chakra had dissipated. Only then did Qingyuan drag Jiraiya out of the cave.

At the same time, just outside the cave, Xiaonan turned into an angel and floated quietly in the sky. A large number of detonating talismans had been buried. Just as Qingyuan appeared outside the cave, accompanied by a rumbling sound, even the mountain collapsed under Xiaonan's detonating talismans.

"This is Konoha's mountain!"

Qingyuan thought helplessly that he didn't feel anything about whether Nagato was dead or alive. If Pain performed "My style is better than you", perhaps Qingyuan would applaud. As for the others, they were just supporting characters who could not escape the fate of chess pieces no matter what.

The second-best god of the ninja world made a hasty farewell in this way. At the same time, in Konoha Village, the Iron Fire brothers, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, successfully captured the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki after being hit by the Rinnegan technique.

In response, the Iron Fire brothers said that everything was under control, but they didn't know that in the place where Nagato was sleeping, with the help of White Zetsu, Nagato's exhausted body actually squeezed out the last bit of vitality.
