After falling into a coma, Lin Feng had a dream, a very long dream.

In his dream, he experienced everything about Nagato from his childhood to his adulthood from his own perspective. He lived peacefully with his parents in a village in the Land of Rain until the Second Ninja World War broke out and the Land of Rain became a battlefield between the great powers.

His parents were killed by Konoha ninjas, and he became a war orphan wandering around. Then, in the shattered Rain Country, he met two other war orphans, Konan and Yahiko. They supported each other and spent a difficult but warm childhood.

He met the three ninjas, became Jiraiya's disciple, and began his training.

After a long separation from his mentor, he gathered a group of like-minded companions and started the journey of Xiao...

Finally, the moment when Yahiko falls down at the foot of the cliff is frozen!

That was also the node he crossed through.

The scene changed, and he was in an illusory world of light and shadow, and he himself turned into a blurry light and shadow!

Nagato's figure, wrapped in white light, was in the sky, looking down at him expressionlessly.

“Is this also a dream?”

"I don't accept this reality. How could I possibly accept it?" Nagato's eyes were so ferocious that it made his heart palpitate.

"Boom!" A strong wind blew and Nagato attacked!

"Damn it!" It was like a nightmare. Lin Feng was completely unable to move and had no idea what would happen next...

Nagato's soul-seeking hand paused half a step away.

At this moment, a dark purple vortex appeared behind him, emitting a suction force that Nagato could not resist. Before he was sucked in, Nagato was still muttering, "I will never approve of this kind of thing..."

"boom!"

The vortex disappeared, and this illusory world of light and shadow began to crack like glass. With a "crack", it fell into complete silence!

"what!!!"

In the dark cave, Nagato screamed and woke up from his coma.

"Hoo, ha, hoo, ha..."

He covered his bandaged forehead and gasped violently.

"Nagato!!" Konan heard the noise and ran over quickly, "You finally woke up, are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Feng... No, now I have truly become Nagato!

Lin Feng...has truly become a thing of the past!

"No, it's okay..." Nagato slowly put down his hand and calmed himself down, "Konan, how long have I been unconscious?"

"A full ten days and ten nights." Xiaonan said worriedly.

"What, only ten days and ten nights?" Nagato opened his eyes wide.

"Eh?" Xiaonan looked at him in surprise: "Why do you say that?"

"No, nothing, I just felt confused after sleeping so much..." Nagato quickly changed the subject.

So that's how it is. After I fainted, I had a dream that was condensed to the extreme. In ten days and ten nights, I experienced Nagato's nearly twenty years of experience...

The level of detail in that experience is far beyond what is depicted in comic books and animations.

But what was that final scene?

He couldn't find any clue for a moment.

But at least this dream filled his void and allowed him to truly inherit Nagato's legacy, including... Nagato's achievements as a 'ninja' so far.

Otherwise, it would be hard for him to explain himself to Konan. He has six types of chakra, has mastered all mainstream ninjutsu at the age of ten, and is recognized by Jiraiya as the child of prophecy. Why does he suddenly lose his ninjutsu?

Being hit on the head by a rock would cause all ninjutsu to be lost? No one would believe that.

This cave was dark and cramped. For ten days and ten nights, Xiaonan took care of him closely in the harsh environment, and had to be vigilant against Hanzo's pursuit at all times. The pressure can be imagined...

Looking at Xiaonan's haggard face, he felt heartbroken.

"Xiao Nan, you haven't slept for a moment these days, look at you, you even have panda eyes."

"It's okay." Xiaonan leaned against the wall, sat down slowly, hugged her legs wrapped in black stockings, and said softly: "I'll rest for a while, and then continue on my way... Okay?"

"Xiao Nan, go to sleep. I'm here."

"Thank you..." Xiaonan didn't even have the strength to adjust his posture and lie down. He closed his eyes and fell asleep leaning against the wall.

Outside the cave, it was cloudy and rainy.

Nagato looked at Konan's angelic face so close to him, and couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently rub her face with his fingertips.

Does a girl’s skin feel so good to the touch?

He wants to protect the beauty in front of him.

"wait for me."

After coming out of the cave and observing the surrounding terrain, he took out a blank talisman, made five forbidden talismans on the spot, and posted them in five places around it.

Then seal it.

——Five-seal barrier!

As the forbidden talisman was activated, it turned into a pentagonal closed barrier with the cave as the center, and the entrance to the cave was also closed.

This will ensure Xiaonan's safety.

Nagato jumped to the top of the mountain and looked around.

"From what I remember, there are many small villages destroyed by war in this area. Let's go there to look for some food."

He was running fast in the rain, and when he passed the mountain where he fought with Hanzo, he caught a glimpse of a white-haired figure standing there!

He stood on a high place and looked intently.

"Teacher Jiraiya, has he been here before at this time?..."

So, you must have heard the news of our three deaths and came here to find out what happened.

In the dream of ten days and ten nights, the memory of spending time together day and night also deepened Nagato's feelings for Jiraiya...

An impulse flashed through my mind.

"If I go over now and give my all to the teacher, will my fate change from now on?"

But after careful consideration, he still failed to take the step.

"The path I'm going to take is different from the previous Nagato, but it's also not what Jiraiya-sensei expected."

"This time, I don't want to make the world feel pain, but to give the world a "final answer"!"

"The only thing I want to ensure is that the teacher will never sink into the depths of the dead sea again like he did before."

Nagato dodged away.

"Hmm?" Jiraiya turned his head as if sensing something, and vaguely saw a hint of red, "Nagato...?"

Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No, how is this possible? The child has already..."

"The Land of Rain is filled with bad memories. I probably won't come back again in my lifetime."

Jiraiya turned and left. In the rain, his back looked depressed, as if he was crying.

……

Late at night, Xiaonan woke up in the cave.

Nagato immediately handed over the bread and water bag, "Konan, you're awake, eat something."

These days, Xiaonan didn't dare to leave the cave, for fear that any mishap would allow Hanzo's pursuers to take advantage of the opportunity.

The water and ration pills that I brought with me had long been used up, and I hadn't eaten for several days.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Don't worry, eat it."

Xiaonan took the bread and started eating it with water.

"I saw Jiraiya-sensei when I was out looking for food."

Xiaonan opened his eyes wide.

"He must have heard the bad news and came to check on the situation. I... didn't tell him that we were still alive."

"I see..." Xiaonan lowered his eyes and chewed the bread absentmindedly.

Nagato said in a low voice: "The path we will take from now on is definitely not what the teacher wants, so... I think it is better for us not to meet at this time."

"Nagato." Konan slowly raised her eyes and said firmly: "No matter what you do, I support your decision. Even if it is not recognized by everyone, I will stand firmly by your side."

"Thank you."

Konan has a dedicated personality and a spirit of sacrifice. She guards the friendship and dreams of the three people in her heart. She follows Nagato without regrets and believes in his beliefs.

Her actions and beliefs once depended on Nagato, but now, they depend on Nagato.

Konan thought of the conversation between Nagato and Madara ten days ago.

At that time, she was immersed in the pain of Yahiko's death and had no time to think too much, but now...

"Nagato, there is something that I am actually concerned about."

"Ah, I know. Before that, I have to solve a problem first."

Nagato raised his palm and pointed it at the dark corner of the cave.

"Swish!" White Zetsu, who was hiding there, was pulled out of the wall and flew towards Nagato!

"You, you can sense me!?" The White Zetsu was horrified.

Nagato grasped its head with his palm.

In order to survive, Bai Jue said hurriedly: "Wait, we are one of us, we are one of us, I am..."

Nagato said coldly in his heart: Ah, of course I know, you were sent by Obito, and you came at the right time, because I was worrying about where to find Orochimaru!

His Samsara Eye was glowing with brilliance.
