[Nagato fainted. When he regained consciousness, the two Konoha ninjas had turned into corpses and were lying in front of him along with his parents.

""My parents," Nagato said to Naruto,"died in the war you Konoha started."】

"Did you hear that?! The war started by Konoha! It's all Konoha's fault!"

"Reflect on yourself, Konoha!"

"When was that time? World War II or World War III?"

【"This pain turned into hatred and also opened up my ability. It was actually me who killed those two Konoha ninjas... It took me a long time to find out."】

【"The waves wet your white skirt, trying to push you back. The waves wash away the blood, trying to warm you."】

【With little food left, Nagato buried his parents and left home alone.

He wandered around and finally died in the mud due to hunger.】

【"Listen to the depths of the sea, whose cry is guiding me"】

【A stray puppy came up to Nagato and licked his face.

Nagato took the puppy to a place to shelter from the rain with great difficulty:"Even if you follow me, I have nothing to give you. There is no food left.……"

But in the end, he still went around begging with his dog.

When he finally knocked on a door, the old man behind the door apologized:"I'm sorry, I don't have anything to give you... The world is like this, it's not easy to take care of yourself.……"

Amid the anxious cries of the puppy, Nagato fell to the ground again, no longer having the strength to get up.】

【"The soul is immersed in silence, no one wakes you up"】

【At this moment, someone brought a piece of bread to Nagato.】

"The lyrics don't make sense... it says 'no one woke you up', but someone clearly showed up"

"Didn't you feel that the lyrics didn't match many times before? But later you found that they basically matched."

"Maybe it refers to the current Nagato. The Fourth Hokage said that he was used by Uchiha Madara. Maybe this is what Yahiko meant by"the soul sinking into silence"’,‘No one woke you up' maybe it means no one can help Nagato wake up his original intention, and the appearance of Konan here may also be Yahiko reminding Konan to help him like he did back then’"

"But when I saw the interaction between Nagato and Konan on the screen before, Nagato basically didn't listen when Konan had objections. It must be a bit difficult for Konan to convince Nagato."

"Judging from the tone of the lyrics, Yahiko doesn't seem to have any resentment, but he does seem a little sad. Maybe he also feels that there is little hope."

【Nagato saw a pretty girl holding a paper umbrella, squatting beside him, and said to him gently:"Give...eat it."……"

He followed her home and met another boy.

The boy frowned and said,"Xiao Nan, who is he?"

"I think he's starving to death.……"

"Are you kidding me...even the dog is picked up." He complained, but accepted them:"What's your name?"

"Little one"

"What a strange name……"

"Uh... it's the dog's name.……"】

【"You said that people's destination should be the sea. You asked me where I would go if I missed someone, and if there was anyone who loved me."】

Looking at Yahiko on the sky, Xiaonan covered her mouth and cried.

【"At that time... I met Konan who is here today... and a boy named Yahiko." Nagato continued to Naruto:"They also became orphans in the war, but two of them survived tenaciously, so I became their companion.

We stole things for a long time. The small country in the war could not provide any help to us orphans. Children like us who don’t even have a place to live can only rely on this to survive. But even so, Yahiko still didn’t give up hope."

In the memory, Yahiko asked:"Nagato, do you have a dream?"

"dream?"

"I don’t want to stay here forever, I have a big dream - to conquer the world!"

"conquer the world?"

"Yes! If I could stand on top of the world, I wouldn't have to suffer this! And if I continue like this, my parents who gave birth to me will die with regrets. Standing on the top, I can have everything I want."

Nagato laughed and said,"It's just like being a god! That can also make wars disappear, right?"】

"You kid! It turned out that you were the one who set this tone for Nagato, Yahiko!!"

"No way, so it was Yahiko who wanted to rule the world, and after his death, Nagato inherited his ideal?"

"But I feel...if Yahiko hadn't died, he wouldn't have done these things like Nagato did.……"

"Is it possible that he must die because he can't? Since Uchiha Madara is using Nagato, who knows when he discovered Nagato and targeted him? Yahiko's death may have been his doing."

【"Can the world no longer always smile at those who are indifferent, while the people on the shore all have indifference on their faces?"】

【As they were talking, the three of them were suddenly affected by the explosion.

They were the ninjas who would be called the Three Ninjas in the future, fighting against Hanzo, the ruler of Rain Village.

The little one was accidentally killed.

"Yahiko said he wanted to become a god and end all wars... At that time, Yahiko's dream also became my dream"】

【"The world is short-lived, and everything disappears into smoke"】

"Is Yahiko talking about himself or something else?"

"If he was talking about the dream of 'ruling the world and eliminating war', didn't Nagato inherit it? Or was he telling Nagato that he had strayed from their original dream, so his dream had dissipated into smoke?"

"Now it might be Uchiha Madara's dream."

"When he first gained the title of the Three Ninjas... it was during the Second Ninja World War. It's hard to imagine that the Third Hokage, with such a weak character, could actually take the initiative to start a war?"

"This is enough to show the powerlessness of a small country. Even such a weak leader can cause such great harm to himself in a moment."

【Young Nagato hugged the puppy and cried, but Yahiko said that crying would not change anything. They needed strength. So they started looking for ninjas and wanted to learn ninjutsu.

In this way, they found Jiraiya.

But Nagato could not accept the ninjas of Konoha, so he hid behind the pillars, and only Yahiko stood in front of the three ninjas.

Looking at Yahiko, the young Jiraiya asked,"What are you going to do?"

Orochimaru said,"Kill them?"

Yahiko was surprised and said,"What?!"

"I have seen many orphans in war, and their endings are usually tragic. It would be a relief to kill them."】

"Orochimaru...it's you as expected!"

"If Nagato had met Orochimaru, he would have died long ago."

"That's not necessarily true. They were in a group of two. If Orochimaru went with Jiraiya or Tsunade, they might be able to stop him."

"If it was Orochimaru, then it would have been right for Nagato's father to rush forward and fight bravely - this guy is not the kind of person who is easy to talk to."

"But if it was Orochimaru, his father would have been courting death, and it would have been a death in vain. Orochimaru would not apologize to Nagato out of guilt."

"……How should I put it? Orochimaru is very determined to implement his own Ninja Way.……"

"These guys were lucky to have met Jiraiya. Most ninjas would have ignored them. If they had met a psychopath who wanted to kill them, they would have no chance of escaping."

"And then their reward is to kill the only teacher who helped them when they grow up? I think it would be better to listen to Orochimaru and just kill them at that time - look, someone in Konoha hurt them, but someone else saved them, too? They clearly know that Konoha is just a general term, and there are countless different individuals under the name of Konoha.

What excuse does Nagato have to destroy the entire Konoha for revenge? If you really hate Konoha so much, don't look for Konoha ninjas in the first place, and don't let Konoha ninjas be your teachers!

"

"Shut up!"

【Jiraiya simply said:"Shut up, Orochimaru! You and Tsunade go back first, I will stay and take care of them for a while."

Tsunade was surprised and said:"What?"

"I will stay until they can be independent, just as a kind of compensation."

After that, Jiraiya lived with the three children.

But not long after, they were attacked by the remnant of the ninja.

Just when Yahiko was about to be killed, Nagato once again used the power of the Samsara Eye to kill the ninja.

"After that incident, Jiraiya, who was not enthusiastic about training, finally started to teach us ninjutsu. Although the teacher said that they were all self-defense ninjutsu, in my opinion, it was like teaching me how to control the power of the Samsara Eye. But I was afraid of my own power, and I hated it for making me lose control... I felt that I had done something wrong, and my heart was filled with guilt... At that time, the teacher saved me."】

"When Jiraiya died in his hands, I wonder if he regretted saving him."

【"I can't really tell whether what you did was right or wrong."Jiraiya said gently,"But Yahiko did survive because of what you did. You protected your friend... so it should be right. No one will blame you for this."……"

Nagato said:"Unconsciously, I accepted the teacher. Then the teacher continued……"

"‘You will hate the person who hurt you, and you will also be hated for hurting others, and feel guilty for it.

But it is because you have felt the pain that you will treat others gently, and people will grow because of it.

The so-called growth is to think about what to do by yourself.

Feel the pain and find a way to find the answer.

'Jiraiya teacher seems to have tortured himself in this way...

but the teacher couldn't find the answer, and you couldn't find the answer either.

……"He looked at Naruto:"But at that time, I suddenly found the answer - I just want to protect them both, I am willing to endure any pain for this"】

【"The scattered moonlight passed through the clouds and gazed at the crowd. Our lonely hearts are sometimes like the bottom of the sea. Sadness cannot be felt in a few words. Tears are silent, but I want to hold you tight."】

"Ah... I feel like if it was Yahiko, he would probably think the same as Nagato. Konan too"

"Although you want to rule the world, nothing is more important than your companions?"

Xiaonan wiped her tears and met Nagato's eyes.���The redness around his eyes was particularly noticeable.

He smiled weakly,"How is he going to hold us tight now?"

【Nagato continued,"After three years of training, we have grown physically and mentally, and have become stronger. But the teacher's words still echo in my heart. The teacher said that he entrusted the task of finding the answer to 'what is peace' to my Samsara Eye."】

"Jiraiya, you say this to every disciple, right?"

"Cast a wide net, catch more fish, and you might catch one."

【Jiraiya tells Nagato the story of the Sage of Six Paths. Because of Nagato's Sharingan, he jokingly says that he might be the reincarnation of the Sage.】

"The reincarnation of the immortal is now barely lingering in this ghostly state?"

"What's going on? Another savior of the ninja world. Didn't they say before that the savior was Naruto? What? Saviors are sold wholesale?"

"So the salvation plan of the reincarnated sage who brought peace is: this world is hopeless, let's destroy it all with the tailed beasts. I think you might be a little extreme, sage."

【"You are an important person, someone's star"】

It seemed to confirm Jiraiya's statement, regarding Nagato as the savior, and it seemed to say that even if you are not the savior, you are still very important.

【Nagato's voice synchronized with the lyrics:"We started the action with Yahiko as our leader. It wasn't long before our organization became famous. Our belief in creating peace without relying on power and force was deeply shared by everyone. But the world is still in the midst of a war between the three great nations of Iwagakure, Konoha, and Sunagakure."】

"In this battle, Namikaze Minato, Goro, and Iwagakure"

"Damn you……"

"The centipede of Sand Village had already been killed by Minato Namikaze in Loulan."

"I have a question, if Baizu had succeeded in ruling the five great nations in Loulan, would Nagato's parents have not had to die?"

"Don't tell me, I thought about it and suddenly realized that the goals of Baizu and Nagato are the same. It's just that one plans to use infinite chakra to create a puppet army, and the other plans to collect the tailed beasts."

"Great! It seems that everything is the fault of the Fourth Hokage who stopped the Centipede! It’s all Namikaze Minato’s fault!"
