Chapter 459

"The power of belief... that unrealistic idea... that kind of trick for children..." Nagato's face was gloomy. He tried his best to deny the determined self on the sky, but he couldn't stop his gradually accelerating heartbeat. Chakra began to escape from his body with the fluctuation of his spirit.

[The scene changed, and the three little ones who had parted with Jiraiya returned to the hut with Yahiko's low crying. As soon as he entered the door, Nagato saw the book of perseverance left on the table at a glance, and picked it up to read without thinking. ]

[The scene changed again, and Nagato was seen fighting with a strange ninja, who was bound by the cursed ninja world and could not get rid of hatred at all. ]

[Nagato easily knocked him down, and when the other party said in despair that nothing could be changed, he responded to him with the answer he said to Jiraiya. ]

[Finally, Nagato extended his hand to the other party, "My name is..."]

["Naruto!"]

["Under the influence of Nagato, Jiraiya wrote the first book, and then Nagato became the first reader. Now Naruto uses him as a prop to persuade Nagato. It feels like everything is connected. It really feels like fate."]

["It feels like Jiraiya's disciples are all of the same lineage. How many times has this scene appeared? Is this the perspective of the child of prophecy?"]

["After all, the answer given here runs through the whole story. Not only the characters in the book, but also the real people are deeply affected by it."]

[The memories end, Naruto reads out his own name heavily, and then He continued to raise his voice: "My name is the most important relic left to me by the lecherous sage! I will never give up, because that would be an insult to my master! I will become Hokage! Then I can bring peace to Yugakure! Please believe me!"]

["Really? What makes you say you won't change?" After a moment of silence, Nagato raised the last resistance in his heart and asked: "No matter what kind of pain you face in the future, can you always believe that you will not change? Do you dare to make this assertion? Do you have this confidence?"]

["...No one likes pain, and I am no exception." Naruto thought of Sasuke who left him, Sakura who was hurt by his runaway power, and Jiraiya who sacrificed himself to practice his ideals.]

["Although I understand what Naruto means,... "Becoming Hokage can bring peace to Yugakure" is definitely problematic to those who don't understand it. It sounds like he wants to incorporate Yugakure into Konoha's territory."]

["Nagato is still stubborn, but I can already feel that he is wavering. ”]

[“Heh, before, you were denying the existence of “peace of mutual understanding between people”, but now it becomes whether Naruto will give up. He doesn’t need to answer this question, I can give you the answer. ”]

[“I was worried that Naruto didn’t understand the situation represented by the question raised by Nagato, but from the fact that he remembered these three people, Sasuke represented the companions who hurt him, Sakura represented the companions who were hurt by him, and Jiraiya represented the companions who were hurt by others. He knows the situation he will face in the future. The decision made in this situation is convincing. ”]

‘I represent the companions who hurt him??’ Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the analysis of the barrage, and snorted imperceptibly.

If it weren’t for Naruto’s constant pestering, who would have the leisure to hurt him? He said it as if he really wanted to be related to him.

[Although his expression was extremely lonely, Naruto still clearly stated his opinion: “But if the protagonist changes because of this, the story will also change accordingly. In that case, it will not be the book left by the master, and it will no longer be Naruto. ”】

【“I can’t write books like my master, so I can only write a new chapter with my future life. No matter what kind of pain I encounter, I will keep going!”】

【“This is me, Naruto!”】

【Looking at Naruto with his thumbs up against his heart, Nagato couldn’t help but think of the past, the cheerful smile Jiraiya showed when he told him the prophecy of the reformer of the ninja world, the dream of the savior entrusted to him when Yahiko sacrificed, the self who believed in the "power of belief", the answer Naruto gave just now, the carefree life of the four people in that hut, and the happy family when his parents were still alive. 】

[“I don’t want to disappoint my master’s expectations, so I want to implement the ideas of the protagonist in the book he wrote. I can understand this behavior, but... don’t you think it’s sad? What about Naruto’s own ideas?”]

[“What’s so sad? Since Naruto decided to do this, it means that he recognized this idea. Isn’t this his own decision?'s choice? Besides, before that, didn't he keep saying that he would not give up? Jiraiya also valued this point in him and entrusted everything to him. This is a two-way choice, the most perfect master-disciple relationship! "]

["Knowing that it is a difficult road, he still walked up without hesitation. With this courage, he is already a mature adult. This is the growth of the state of mind that is more important than strength."]

["The memories of the past are constantly attacking Nagato. It is hard not to be convinced."]

["Compared to Jiraiya and Naruto, it is still the past Nagato who has the greatest influence on him now. After all, it is himself, even if he has been abandoned by the current him."]

[Thinking of this, Nagato slowly lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "We are brothers, both worshipping under the door of the person we admire. It stands to reason that we should be able to understand each other. I have said this before, although it was just a mockery."]

["...You are an incredible guy, reminding me of my past self. "Ignoring Konan's worried look, Nagato said to himself: "I can't believe Jiraiya, no, I can't even believe myself... But now, I feel that you will take a different path to the future than mine..."]

[Saying this, Nagato pulled his hands out of the mechanical device under him and slowly made a seal: "Let me try to believe you, Uzumaki Naruto."]

["Outer Path·Reincarnation Natural Technique!"]

["Although I knew the result before, I really didn't expect to be convinced by this answer... "Never give up the pursuit of peace", although someone has given this answer, few people took it seriously at the time, and the result... Haha."]
