207: You Are So Naive Naruto

Nagato stared at Naruto, as if searching for the sincerity in his words. He pondered for a while: "Then what can you do to change this world full of pain?"

Naruto took a deep breath, and said firmly: "I don't know, but I will keep searching until I find a way without pain and hatred."

Nagato smiled slightly, as if mocking Naruto's innocence.

At this moment, Kearns "Seven Nine Zero" raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that this battle has finally become interesting.

Nagato's face had always maintained that unfathomable indifference, but as he continued his memory, that expression seemed to soften a little.

"Back then, the three of us...me, Yahiko and Konan...were growing and thriving under the care of Jiraiya. He was our master and taught us a lot about ninja skills, but more importantly Best of all, he taught us the importance of dreams."

As he spoke, Nagato couldn't help recalling the scene at that time.

One early summer afternoon, three children and an adult ninja stood on a training field. The sunlight shines on the ground through the green leaves, forming Madara's mottled light and shadow. Jiraiya watched with satisfaction at his three students, who were concentrating on various ninjutsu exercises.

"Yahiko, do you think we can really achieve peace?" Nagato asked.

Yahiko stopped and looked up at the sky: "I don't know, Nagato. But we must try."

Jiraiya came over, "Young people should have dreams, even if this dream seems impossible to realize. The important thing is what you are willing to pay for it.

"We're willing to give anything for it," Konan said firmly.

Recovering, Nagato continued.

"With such determination and belief, we established an organization centered on Yahiko, with the goal of solving problems through peaceful means and avoiding unnecessary wars and killings.

"That sounds like a lofty goal," Naruto said.

"Yes, we feel the same way. But we ignore the fact that....in this world, there will always be someone who sees your dreams as a threat.

Nagato fell into memory again.

In a dark room, Hanzo sat on an ornate chair with several maps and documents in front of him.

"These children are really troublesome." He sneered and said to his subordinates standing beside him, "Are you ready?"

"Yes, everything is ready..." The men responded.

"We didn't notice Hanzo's movements at first until it happened." Nagato's tone became heavy.

Lost again.

then.

In the dead of night, in a remote cabin, Nagato, Yahiko and Konan are discussing their next steps.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, followed by a series of explosions and screams. Yahiko hurried to the window to have a look, and saw several people in Rain Shinobi uniforms massacring villagers.

"What does that mean?!" Yahiko said angrily.

"This is the answer Hanzo gave us." 0.2 Nagato said painfully.

"Since that moment, I have understood a truth. In this cursed world, there is no real peace. Even if you are not willing to use force and violence "someone will use these to destroy you," concluded Nagato.

Naruto was silent for a while, and finally said: "Even so, I will not give up looking for the road without pain and hatred."
