Chapter 454
[“How should I put it… It’s not bad, but it’s easy to be influenced by others. If someone with ulterior motives comes at this time, it’s easy to be led by the nose if you don’t have your own opinion.”]
[“So, Nagato’s crazy plan was instigated by others?”]
[“That’s the thing. As for whether he was instigated by others, probably only he knows.”]
Nagato knew who the barrage was talking about, but he didn’t think his thoughts were influenced by him.
Nagato still remembers that when they first met Afei, Yahiko had already expressed his distrust of him.
And after Yahiko’s death, Nagato has always been vigilant in his contact with him, otherwise there would not have been a disagreement when capturing the tailed beast before.
[However, Yahiko didn’t have the energy to care about these things at this time, because there were still explosions around him. Following the direction of the battle sound, Yahiko carefully poked his head out on a hilltop, and the two sides fighting happened to be Hanzo, the leader of Yugakure, and the young Konoha Sannin. 】
【"The ones fighting there were Jiraiya-sensei and his ninjas, who were later called the Three Ninjas of Konoha. Their opponents were Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure. The battle was extremely brutal. Later--"】
【Under Yahiko's command, the three of them carried the little dog's body away from the battlefield. Looking at Nagato who was sobbing while holding the dog's body, Yahiko was full of resentment: "Damn it, damn it, damn it! What! This world of constant war... I want to become the god of this world!"】
【Yahiko clenched his fists, trembling all over, with an expression more serious than ever before. Nagato was staring at him blankly with tears in his eyes. 】
【"At that time, Yahiko's dream also became my dream."】
["So I met the Sannin at this time. It seems that our meeting later was not a coincidence."]
["Maybe he was joking just now, but Yahiko seems to be serious now. He really regards becoming a god as his goal."]
["Does it matter if he is serious or not? In the end, it is still a child's idea. What is the difference between a wish without a channel to realize it and the peace that Naruto has been pursuing."]
["Nagato has the Samsara Eye, so it is barely reasonable to say this, but Yahiko can't. No matter how serious he acts, people who take this seriously are definitely Rare, eh, why do I feel more and more like Naruto. "]
【After the three returned to the base, Nagato hugged the body of the little one and kept crying, which made Yahiko very uncomfortable, and scolded: "Nagato, how long are you going to cry! Crying when encountering problems will not change anything, just like this country."]
【"I want to change this country! But just saying it won't work, I need strength!" Yahiko looked into the distance without confusion: "We have to learn ninjutsu!"]
【Perhaps it was a broken jar, or perhaps it was because he was skilled and bold, Yahiko actually set the goal of becoming a disciple on Jiraiya and others. Under his insistence, the three buried the little one, and then returned the supplies in the base to the merchants they had stolen, and started the journey of searching for people with only some necessary supplies. 】
["Well... it's not just talk, at least there is a concrete action plan... but this is too bold, how could he think of going to the Sannin to become his apprentice."]
["He is risking his life. Anyway, there is no other way. He can only gamble whether the Sannin is willing to accept him as a disciple."]
["Can't you join Hanzo?"]
["With Hanzo's personality, how could he take in three little brats of unknown origin? And judging from Yahiko's attitude towards this country, he should be very dissatisfied with Hanzo's rule."]
[The subsequent development is just as shown before. After a dangerous journey, the three caught up with the young Sannin, and were taken in by Jiraiya out of compensation. 】
【"But I still can't accept Konoha's ninjas. As for the reason, I think you should understand." Naruto had a complicated expression when he heard this. Nagato continued, "But Jiraiya-sensei gives people a different feeling... Just like that, the life of four people began, and then that incident happened not long after."】
【"We were attacked by the remnants of the ninjas. Just when Yahiko was about to be killed, I fought back and killed the ninja. Of course, it was unconscious..."】
【"If there was only a slight mistake in the middle, the current situation of the ninja world would not be what it is now."]
["Tsk, it's incredible to think about it. Three weak kids went through a war zone full of dangers to chase three ninjas, and they also letThey did it. It was as difficult as a Genin going on an A-rank mission. "]
["Naruto: Is an A-rank mission difficult?" (Funny laugh)]
["I told you not to bring him up when discussing combat power!"]
["The only person who could make Nagato put aside his prejudice was probably Jiraiya. After all, he was really different. His innocent ideals were especially suitable for Nagato at that time."]
["It's mainly because he looks harmless and often does stupid things. He doesn't pose any threat to others."]
["It seems that I have some special ability, which is the pupil technique of the Rinnegan. After that incident, Jiraiya, who had no intention of teaching us ninjutsu, also started teaching us ninjutsu. Although the teacher said that they were all self-defense ninjutsu, it seemed to me that it was to enable me to control the power of the Rinnegan."]
["But I was afraid of my own power. Hatred made me lose control. I thought I had done something wrong and was always blamed by guilt... At that time, it was the teacher who saved me. ”]
[Then came the conversation on that rainy night. It was at that time that Nagato let go of his grudges and agreed with Jiraiya. He was also impressed by the topic of hatred, pain and growth that Jiraiya raised at that time.]
[“Tsk, although I have seen it once before, I still can’t understand Jiraiya’s approach. Why didn’t he bring the people back to Konoha to teach them? Is Konoha short of food for these people or something?”]
[“That depends on whether Nagato and the others are willing. Yahiko is most likely unwilling, and the other two follow his lead. Can Jiraiya still force them to return to Konoha? Then they are not disciples, but captives.”]
[“This reason is barely plausible. Anyway, Nagato just needs a key to unlock his power. Even if he goes to Konoha, is there anyone there who can teach him to develop the Samsara Eye?”]
