Tsunade, you're really drunk!

[My body has no strength...]

[I can’t breathe…]

[It hurts so much, my whole body hurts... Am I going to die? ]

The lake water submerged Nagato's body, and his body pushed the water away, falling continuously.

His consciousness gradually became blurred, and his eyelids moved upwards twice, but it seemed that he no longer had the strength to keep them open.

In my mind, I uncontrollably began to recall past scenes, one by one, replaying like a slide show.

Time goes so slowly.

……

"Oh? It's actually canned food."

"It doesn't matter what it is. I'm almost starving to death. Why bother? Just eat."

"Let's go look somewhere else later, maybe we can find something to eat."

Outside the door, in the living room, the hurried voices of two ninjas could be heard. I subconsciously opened my eyes and saw two familiar faces.

Dad, and mom.

"Run away now."

Nagato followed behind his father and mother, tremblingly walking towards the back door, as if the family's hope of escape was right in front of him, just a few meters away.

However, these few short meters, at this moment, were like the other side of the river, forcing them to separate at this moment.

"Om~"

My elbow hit something...

The gray-blue pottery jar trembled and fell off the table. Nagato, who witnessed all this, suddenly felt his mind go blank.

[It’s over. I’m going to be discovered. Will I die? I’m going to die…]

Such thoughts lingered in Nagato's mind.

"Boom!"

The sound of the clay pot breaking made the parents walking in front and beside Nagato suddenly show expressions of horror.

The two ninjas outside the door also stopped what they were doing and rushed into the room holding kunai.

"who!!!"

Without any hesitation, the father walked up to one of the men, grabbed his wrist, and turned around to shout.

"Run now!"

"Nagato, run!"

The mother directly protected Nagato behind her, trying to buy him time to escape.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

……

The raindrops kept falling.

"That red-haired guy over there."

"Use this to kill Yahiko."

"In this way, I can still let you and this woman live."

As Hanzo finished his words, a kunai pierced the ground in front of Nagato.

"Nagato..."

"Stop it Nagato! You two leave me alone!"

"Let me do it..."

"You two, run away!"

"Hurry up and do it."

"Nagato!"

"puff!!!"

The sound of kunai tearing flesh made everything around Nagato lose its color at this moment.

Hanzo's devilish moan, Yahiko's determination, and Konan's pleading all came to an abrupt end at this moment. The world not only lost its color, but also lost the voice that it was supposed to have.

All I could hear in my mind was the vows I made. They sounded so harsh and ridiculous...

"I was just trying to protect those two guys."

"No matter how painful it may be."

Also ringing in the air were Yahiko’s words.

"Nagato, do you have a dream?"

"I have a big dream, I won't die in a place like this."

"I want to conquer the world!"

……

"Nagato, he will be the bridge to peace, and my mission is to be the pillar of the bridge."

"The country is still crying and it's holding back its pain."

"I used to hate this country that only knew how to cry, but now I just want to save it."

"I really think so from the bottom of my heart. Maybe it's because I'm worried about this crybaby who's just like me."

……

What is on my shoulder? It's so hot. What is it...

Blood...why blood!?

"Nagato, you and Konan must survive."

"If it's you, you can definitely..."

After saying that, Yahiko's body fell heavily to the ground.

[What can you do for sure? Can you save this country and create peace? ]

[Is there still any value in saving and existing this deformed world?! ? ]

[If you're dead, what's the point of all this!? ]

"Necromanticism: Heretic Golem!"

Nearly a hundred densely packed chakra iron rods pierced directly into Nagato's back.

[Does it hurt? Does it hurt? ]

[It hurts, it hurts so much, not only my body, but my heart hurts even more. 】

……

“Accept the pain.”

"Understand the pain."

“Those who have not experienced pain cannot understand true peace!”

"From now on, let the world feel the pain!!!"

……

[Since that day, when Yahiko died, I found "Madara". Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him Obito now.]

[I led the Akatsuki organization to participate in countless small-scale wars, accepting war commissions from various countries, from war to assassination. As long as it is a mission that can make people feel pain, the Akatsuki organization will accept it.]

[I claimed to the public that this was Akatsuki's funds, but in reality, it was just my inner anger towards this world.]

[Until that day…]

[The information that Konan got from the Konoha Chunin Exam made me understand that my Samsara Eye is like that. I am just a chess piece.]

[But at the same time, I also learned that there is another ninja in the ninja world who, like Yahiko, pursues peace - Uchiha Chiya.]

[Yahiko, do you know? He is much smarter than you. He can play with the five great nations and has the power to crush everything. Even I can't beat him.]

[He has power beyond me, and more realistic means and methods than you, but in the final analysis, both of you have the same ideals. I see the shadow of you and me in him.]

[If it's him, Akatsuki can be safely handed over to him. Peace in the ninja world... I have found it now.]

[Now, I can go see you, Yahiko]

Nagato tried hard to open his eyes, wanting to take one last look at this world, and then go to the Pure Land to see his best friend with peace of mind.

But when he opened his eyes, he saw Yahiko's figure in a trance, and subconsciously raised his hands desperately trying to grab the other person.

"Yahiko..."

His hand was firmly grasped, and a pulling force pulled Nagato upwards, bringing him out of the water.

"No, why do you have to hold on? Isn't this just a way of saving face and suffering?"

"What an idiot!"

Nagato subconsciously looked to the side, but the person he saw was not Yahiko as he thought, but Chiye who had just defeated him.

Qianye's complaints reached Nagato's ears, and for a moment he felt somewhat intimate and familiar.

This is just like when I first met Yahiko. Yahiko called me a little kid and my attitude wasn't very nice.

Even though this guy was even worse than Yahiko, he gave Nagato the same feeling. Under the cold chakra, he could feel his warm heart.

Quietly, the revolving lantern allowed Nagato to awaken the Uzumaki clan's Kagura's mind eye, and feel everything around him.

Qianye, who was cursing but afraid that he would be beaten to death, the apologetic but happy Nanjie, the shocked Kakuzu, Deidara whose mind was full of explosions, Scorpion whose mind was full of puppets, Biwa Juzo whose mind was full of summoning beasts, and Hidan whose mind was full of sandwiches.

Why is Biwa Juzo's mind full of summoning beasts? Is his brain broken?

"Hey, don't die. If you die, there will be no one to work for me."

Qianye's disdainful remarks made Nagato subconsciously look at the other party. He sat on the water and slowly raised his right hand.

[Yahiko, you don't want me to see you so early? That's right, after all, peace has not yet been achieved...]

[However, since I survived, I will continue to help you realize your dream of peace. ]

[The bridge to peace is not you, not me, but him! ]

Qianye raised his eyebrows. Although he could sense people's emotions through the dragon vein's chakra, he had no idea what the other person was thinking.

I really don't know how this guy can feel sad and want to die one moment, and happy and want to live the next. It seems like a person with a middle school syndrome has an abnormal brain.

Except Laozi.

"Hurry up, it's already like this, hurry up and come back to Konoha for treatment. If you are disabled, who will be the captain of my Akatsuki team!?"

……

……

……

This is the best way I can think of to get Nagato to join the Ninja Association. After I introduced Nagato, I was able to find the similarities between Chiya and Yahiko. I hope you like it.
