Chapter 239 Your name is so strange
In fact, Lu Jiu was also in the wrong for saying this.
After all, Konoha, Sand Village, and Iwagakure are the invaders.
But the only one to blame is the Rain Country's own leader, Hanzo of the Salamander. If he had not wanted to expand his territory and declare war on the three major countries at the same time, and actively provoke the Ninja World War, the Rain Country would not have become a battlefield where the three major countries fought each other.
It just makes life hard for the common people in the Rain Country.

When Ise saw the Konoha ninja stabbing the kunai into Fuso's heart, his eyes were bloodshot, but there was nothing he could do.
[Run, Nagato! Run! Quickly! ]
But just as he finished speaking, he was stabbed in the heart by a kunai from the Konoha ninja.
The Konoha ninja walked up to the tearful Nagato and looked him over carefully: [This... is this a little kid? ]
The ninja who killed Ise looked at the corpse on the ground, his tone full of annoyance: [How could this happen? They are not ninjas at all! ]
[What should I do? Why did this happen? I misjudged the enemy! Damn it!]
At this moment, a dazzling flash of lightning illuminated the scene in the room, and the Konoha forehead protector on the ninja's forehead was exceptionally clear.
The Konoha ninja bent down, immediately filled with guilt.
He said to Nagato slowly: [I didn't expect that there would be ordinary civilians in such a battle area. Sorry, kid...]

Ninja World
"What's the point of apologizing? The person is already dead."
"When war breaks out, there are countless incidents involving civilians..."
"I never imagined that if the war between big countries like you had not affected small countries, how could the civilians of small countries leave their homes and beg outside in order to avoid being affected by the war?"
"Nagato's father suddenly rushed over, so he was mistaken for an enemy by the Konoha ninja."
"It feels very wrong. The power of ninjas is so different from that of ordinary people. How could they not find out that Nagato's parents are not ninjas? I suspect that these two Konoha ninjas have been under an illusion..."

After Nagato took a few sharp breaths, his eyes suddenly widened.
【ah! ! ! 】
Screen turn
When Nagato woke up again, it was already daybreak.
[What? What happened? Dad...Mom...]
When he turned around, he saw the bodies of his parents.
Memories to this point
……
Ninja World
"Alas. Having lost his parents at such a young age, how is he supposed to survive in an environment like the Rain Country?"
"Putting myself in his shoes, I, an adult, feel lost. Although he has the Rinnegan, Nagato has no idea how to use it."
on screen
Nagato said to Naruto: "My parents died in the war you started in Konoha. I have never forgotten the pain at that time, and the pain continues until now. This pain turned into hatred, which made my power blossom. I was the one who killed the two ninjas at that time, and I realized it later. 】
Naruto lowered his head and said nothing.
[With little food left, I left home alone...]
in memory
Wearing a raincoat, Nagato built a grave for his parents and stood in front of the grave for a long time.
【Goodbye, Dad, Mom.】
Screen turn
Nagato took shelter under a rock.
He looked at the small piece of bread in his hand: [Is this the last one? ]
After eating the bread, he continued on his staggering journey.
When he walked onto a bridge, he fell into the water with a "splash".
"I'm so hungry that I can't even walk..."
Nagato slowly closed his eyes.
A little yellow dog ran up to him and licked his face.
Nagato sat up suddenly and coughed violently several times.
He patted the little yellow dog's head: [Thank you. If you hadn't woken me up, I might have died.]
Screen turn
The rain is still falling.
Under the Rock
The little yellow dog whimpered.
Nagato hugged it and said guiltily: [I'm sorry, even if you follow me, I have nothing to give you... I don't have any food anymore. ]
Screen turn
Nagato knocked on the door with his hand.
[Excuse me, can you give me some food? I already...]
At this point, the door opened, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.
[I haven’t eaten anything for a long time…]
The middle-aged man said: "I'm sorry, I don't have anything to give you. In this world, I can't take care of myself. Sorry, please ask somewhere else."
After saying that, he closed the door.
Nagato was obviously a little disappointed. He said weakly: [This is obviously the last one...]
……
Ninja World
"I really want to help him...even though he might become a bad guy in the future. This child is so pitiful."
"Nagato is kindhearted, otherwise he would have eaten the puppy. He would have survived by doing so. I guess there is a chance that he and Naruto can become friends."
"Alas. The middle-aged man's behavior was not selfish. 'In this world, we can't take care of ourselves.' Even if he gave Nagato food this time, in his eyes, in this world, a child without a father or a mother can't survive. And he was afraid that Nagato would come to him for food again in the future if he saw that he was easy to talk to."
on screen
Nagato looked at the bread inside the house through the window and staggered.
[Let’s go…]
at last
On a hillside, Nagato could no longer hold on and fell down.
[It’s no use anymore… Am I going to die here? ]
Just as his eyelids were about to close, a piece of bread was handed to him.
Xiaonan, holding an umbrella, said: [Eat this. ]
Nagato swallowed.
【May I? 】
【Um. 】
Screen turn
Just as Nagato was about to eat the bread in his hand, he heard the whimpering of the little yellow dog.
He broke the bread in his hand in two and placed one half on the ground.
【Hey. Eat slowly.】
Xiaonan just smiled.
……
Ninja World
"A child with this kind of character cannot survive alone in such a harsh environment."
"I thought he would steal bread, but he would rather starve to death than steal...Luckily there is rich lady Xiaonan."
"Konan is so cute when she smiles."
"Konan is indeed a beautiful and kind-hearted rich lady. When Nagato just left home, there was only one-third of the bread left, but Konan gave Nagato a whole loaf of bread."
"Nagato has met a rich woman. Things are starting to get better. At least eating shouldn't be a problem."

Screen turn
[Xiaonan, what are those guys? ]
Konan looked at Yahiko apologetically: [Sorry, I think he's almost dead...]
Yahiko walked over and said, "You even picked up the dog? Really..."
Yahiko walked up to Nagato and asked directly: [What's your name?]
Nagato replied: [Tiny one.]
Yahiko was stunned: [Your name is really strange. ]
【No. That's the dog's name.】
Memories to this point
……
Ninja World
"It turns out that Yahiko and Konan have known each other for a long time. Are they brother and sister?"
"Sorry, the atmosphere was quite depressing, but I couldn't help laughing at the words 'he even picked up the dog'... and Yahiko thought Nagato was called a brat..."
"Looking at the environment, Yahiko and Konan aren't rich... They were already poor, and because they even picked up a dog, it made things even worse for them."
