Chapter 302 Paranoid Peace
"no no……"
The pain in every part of her body disappeared from her consciousness, and Haruko's mind was blank in the morning, unable to think of anything.
She used her hands and feet to prop herself up and staggered towards Konoha.
Tears were like beads with broken strings, sliding down the cheeks one by one, falling in the wind, seeping into the soil and blooming into flowers of despair.
Finally, she arrived at the entrance of the village which had become a ruin.
Although they were only a few steps away from entering Konoha, they were unable to move forward because of the countless wooden blocks and debris blocking the entrance.
Beneath the ruins is her home, the people she knows, the shops she passes by every day, and the life she dreams of.
At this moment, Haruko Zaoma seemed to suddenly understand.
Understand why "she" would try to change her fate at all costs.
Unless all the tragedy and bloodiness happens right in front of you, no one can truly understand the fear and pain of the moment, even if that person is yourself.
She always wondered why she had obtained this cursed eye technique.
However, even if it is a curse, it also gives a chance to save it, doesn't it?
If her ability can save thousands of people and bring happiness to everyone she cares about, then even if she sacrifices herself, it will be worth it.
But it's too late.
Her pupil technique is in danger, and she can only use the secret technique to change her fate once more, and then she will die.
If I use the time-reversal method to go back to the time when nothing happened, and my death is the only variable, it will not change anything at all.
Even if she used resurrection, her remaining life force wouldn't be enough to save everyone.
No matter how you think or what you choose to do, it's a dead end.
"Damn it... Damn it!!!" Haruko Asahi cried out in pain.
Although she possesses the power to change her fate, she realizes very clearly that she cannot change her destiny.
The strong emotional fluctuations broke through the shackles of the pupil technique, and all the memories, feelings, and emotions she had experienced merged into her without a trace.
In the morning, Haruko remembered everything.
Even if I remembered everything, it's no use.
"I...can't save everyone..."
Weakness completely swept over her, grabbing her feet and dragging her into a vortex of collapse.
Filled with extreme sadness, the whole world fell into darkness.
"You are... Sister Haruko?"
Payne, who came to investigate after hearing the noise, was suspended in mid-air.
When he saw the black-haired girl below, his expressionless face was replaced by astonishment.
In the morning, Haruko raised her head blankly, and her lifeless black eyes filled with tears reflected his figure.
Wearing the black robe of Akatsuki, the familiar face has grown into the mature and cold face of a young man. There are strange black stick objects inserted on both sides of his nose, and his bright orange hair flutters in the scorching sun.
The most important thing is the rotating purple samsara eye in his eyes.
"Ya...Hiko?" Haruko Asama murmured in disbelief.
When she saw the orange-haired man in the red cloud and black robe on the screen before, she just felt that he looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him.
I didn’t expect it to be Yahiko, but aren’t these two Rinnegan Nagato’s?
Payne quickly landed in front of her and forced a smile, which looked strange on his face for no reason.
"Sister Haruko, you're still alive!"
Seeing his hand stretched out to her, Haruko Hayama stepped back without thinking and avoided his touch.
The pale hand with a hint of gray froze in mid-air. Sensing the vigilance in her eyes, Payne withdrew his hand and returned to his expressionless face.
"You are not Yahiko, who are you?" Haruko Asahi asked.
Payne did not answer. He withdrew his hand and stood there, his eyes empty, like a machine without a human operator.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Haruko Asako couldn't help but frown.
He was constantly thinking about the current situation in his mind. The three people who founded the Akatsuki organization were Yahiko and the others.
But how?
How could those three children who were full of justice turn Akatsuki into the notorious terrorist organization it is today?
The people who destroyed Konoha turned out to be the children she had watched grow up...
It's just sad and ridiculous.
Thinking of this, Haruko Zao looked at him with a sharp gaze.
"Why? Why attack Konoha? Why start wars everywhere because of the tailed beasts?"
"To achieve true peace!"
The sound did not come from Payne, but from the forest on the right.
In the morning, Haruko looked towards the source of the sound and saw a man who looked exactly like Pain running out of the forest.
However, there were no black sticks on his face, and his eyes were the same dark brown that originally belonged to Yahiko. His expression was one of surprise and anticipation, as if he was overwhelmed by joy.
He pointed at himself and said, "Sister Haruko, I'm Yahiko!"
Morning Haruko glanced at the orange-haired man who was not moving on the other side, "Who is he?"
"He is Pain controlled by Nagato. He looks like me for convenience."
Yahiko explained quickly, his eyes unable to stop taking in the reality of her existence, even though the age didn't match, he wouldn't be wrong, this was Sister Haruko!
The guilt and regret accumulated deep in his heart grew wildly. Yahiko's eyes moistened and he couldn't help but move closer to her.
The gentle sister in his memory, the sister who sacrificed herself to save him, was so close...
But the next second, Haruko Asahi stepped back again and froze Yahiko in place.
His surprised expression froze, and he was stunned for a long time before he slowly lowered his head and took a few steps back.
He originally thought that it was Pain's special nature that made Haruko Asako unwilling to accept it, so she rushed here as fast as she could.
Now it seems that it is them that Haruko Hayama is unwilling to accept.
Well, they have done such a thing, how could they ask Haruko Hayama to accept it.
The peace plan they have been working so hard to achieve is about to be realized. That is the world peace they have longed for all their lives. Even in the face of Haruko Hayama, Yahiko cannot give in.
He took a deep breath and continued explaining.
"After establishing Akatsuki, we traveled around the world to lobby for war, but over the years, we have only realized one thing."
"In the face of overwhelming power, any struggle is useless. Lobbying and negotiation are just a show for big countries. Small countries can only sit there and wait for death."
"The order in which the tailed beasts maintain the balance of power between ninja villages has become rigid. Instead of waiting for history to slowly progress, it is better to completely break it down and reorganize it to create a truly peaceful world!"
When talking about Akatsuki's ultimate goal, Yahiko's eyes were full of hope.
But he is completely different from the boy who hoped for world peace in Haruko's memory in the morning.
His obsession with peace even reached the point of paranoia.
It is an extreme peace idea!
Haruko Asahi asked him sternly, "Starting a war, not caring how many people are sacrificed, is this the peace you are pursuing?!"
The sharp words pierced Yahiko's heart. He suppressed his hesitation and argued with her fiercely.
"Any peace is built through sacrifice! Sister Haruko, you don't understand!"
"You don't understand what we have been through, the pain we felt for not being able to stop the war for so many years, the sadness we felt for watching a village or even a country fall!"
"The seeds of war will soon spread everywhere. It is up to us to control these wars and finally create a unified country led by Akatsuki. This is the true path to peace!"
