I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"That's it!"

Naruto came to the front of the ship panting. He was very sure that the real body of Tendou was here.

"No going forward!"

Konan stood in front of Naruto, and paper wings appeared behind her. She was the last hurdle in front of Nagato.

"Stay out of the way!"

Naruto ignored Konan, and two Rasenshurikens appeared in both of his hands at the same time and were thrown directly at Konan.

Konan couldn't dodge because Nagato was behind her, so she could only use a paper shield to block.

But how could this kind of defense block the Rasenshuriken, which was listed as a forbidden technique? It turned into confetti once it touched the paper shield.

The ship was also hit hard and the entire deck was destroyed.

But Konan did not give up. She controlled the flying confetti to surround Naruto and clenched her palm.

These scraps of paper turned directly into detonating tags, and the sound of explosions continued one after another.

Several tailed beast claws appeared behind Naruto and protected him. The strengthened tailed beast coat actually withstood the explosion.

Naruto knew he had no time to waste, so he roared and rushed out of the explosion range, creating several clones and throwing all kinds of balls at Konan.

Konan was still trying to fight back, but Nagato's voice rang out.

"That's enough, Xiaonan, back off!"

A figure appeared on the dilapidated ship, and Nagato appeared directly in a huge wheelchair.

The scorching sun made Nagato feel a little uncomfortable. He squinted his eyes and looked up again. It had been a long time since he had seen the sun.

Naruto stopped moving when he saw Nagato. He looked at the skinny guy in front of him and couldn't believe that the other party was the leader of Akatsuki.

"Nice to meet you Naruto, my name is Nagato, and I'm the leader of Akatsuki."

Nagato looked at Naruto and said lightly. Konan also returned to Nagato's side. She looked at the island with some confusion. After such a long time, why haven't Sasuke and Kisame dealt with the ninjas on the island yet.

"It's all because of you, you're the reason for everything!"

Naruto couldn't help but want to continue taking action, and the Rasengan that had disappeared condensed again.

"That's right. It's because of me that the world has become better again! As long as you hand over the power of the Nine-Tails, you will also contribute to world peace. Naruto, hand over the power of the Nine-Tails."

Nagato said excitedly that there was only one step left, as long as the Nine-Tailed Fox was sealed, the rest could be left to Ye Lan.

"Nonsense! How dare you say that you are doing this for world peace?"

Naruto said angrily, all he felt was hurt from the other man.

"Naruto, you may not know yet, the Sand Village has surrendered, Gaara, who was once taken away by me, has now surrendered to us, and your companions and teachers have all left you. Doesn't this prove that what I did is right?"

Nagato's chest rose and fell violently as he spoke excitedly.

"How is it possible? Even Gaara..."

Naruto looked at Nagato in shock, no one had ever mentioned this to him.

"You have been living in a cage set up by others. You cannot even see the true face of this world. How can you understand what I do?"

Naruto's reaction was completely what Nagato expected. There was a reason why such a naive guy was still alive.

"As long as, as long as I become Hokage, I will take care of all these things, and I will make this world a better place."

Naruto said unwillingly, clenching his fists.

"Hahaha, you can't even do it now, so are you still bound by the title of Hokage? Besides, you say you can do it? But we have already done it!"

Nagato's expression became a little crazy, and Konan looked at Nagato worriedly.

"Moreover, the Hokage only protects the interests of the daimyo and nobles, and will never look at issues from the perspective of the interests of the people. When the interests of both sides conflict, they will only stand behind the daimyo. Even if you become the Hokage, you can't change this. You will only become a watchdog for the daimyo!"

"Now you just need to give the Nine-Tailed Fox's power, and I will help you settle everything and create a world where no one will go hungry and can live happily!"

Seeing that Naruto was a little confused, the Nine-Tailed Fox began to roar inside Naruto's body. If it was really caught by the other party, it would not even have a chance to revive.

"Naruto, don't be bewitched by him. This guy is a lunatic. Even the old man Liu Dao couldn't do it at that time, let alone him, who only has the Rinnegan!"

Naruto's eyes regained clarity and he spoke in a decisive tone.

"Even if the previous Hokage didn't do it, I will do it! I will create a world where everyone can understand each other, and I will stop all wars and sorrows."

Nagato's originally crazy face turned cold in an instant.

"I have done this before, and I have lost many companions for it."

"Let me tell you about the origin of Akatsuki. This organization existed during World War II..."

For some reason, Nagato couldn't help but want to talk more after seeing Naruto, especially since the other person's foolish appearance was very similar to Yahiko.

He told Naruto about Yahiko's original ideals and the birth of Akatsuki, including Yahiko's subsequent death and his changes.

After hearing everything, Naruto was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that there was a shadow of Konoha involved.

"Why don't you follow Yahiko's ideals? Are you going to deny everything just because of one failure?"

Nagato raised his head with difficulty and said.

"Because humans are creatures that can never understand each other. As long as there are desires, there will be disputes, and they will infringe on the interests of others and hurt others. Can you guarantee that all the people involved can control their desires?"

Naruto opened his mouth. He wanted to say that he could, but even if he was an idiot, he knew that it was impossible.

"Instead of trusting others to control their desires, it is better to set strict rules to punish them! Only by holding absolute power in your hands and being able to execute everyone fairly and impartially can you create a perfect world. There will be no disputes caused by desires!"

"You can see that my time is running out. For this purpose, I can give up everything, including my own life! What about you? Hokage-sama? For the better life of the people, are you willing to give up your life? Or your throne?"

boom-

Naruto's head felt like it was going to explode, his face turned extremely pale, a certain will in his heart kept telling him that his life was nothing compared to everyone's happiness, but the education he received since he was a child told him that he must become Hokage.

For the first time, a look of confusion appeared in Naruto's eyes. For the first time, he was unable to win an argument with the other party. He wanted to refute but could not find a reason.

"Stop making so much noise! ​​Stop making so much noise! ​​I don't care about these things! I just know that what I did is right! Brother Ye Lan, Sasuke, Shikamaru and Gaara, they all became like this because of you."

Even though the Nine-Tails deliberately restrained its power, the chakra of the tailed beast also eroded Naruto's deepest desires.

"Naruto calm down!"

The Nine-Tails was shouting anxiously inside Naruto's body. It tried its best to suppress its power, but the tailed beast's outer form had already been revealed. Naruto, who no longer controlled the tailed beast's power, began to let it run wild.

All he wanted now was to tear the other person's mouth open and beat him up.

Naruto's eyes turned red, and his Tailed Beast Coat began to become unstable, and several tails began to emerge from his butt.

Looking at Naruto who was about to go berserk, Nagato said lightly.

"How ridiculous! It seems you are no different from everyone else!"
