Chapter 404 A Common Dream

"Nagato."

Xiaonan was the first to say hello.

She didn't know why, but she felt that there was an indescribable gap between the two people who had been close in the past.

Nagato looked away from Konan and said calmly:

"It seems that you chose him between me and him."

Konan looked at Nagato, pursed her lips, and said with certainty:

"I see hope for peace in him!!!"

After hearing this, Nagato said slowly:

"Really, that's really good,"

"He and I both have the same ideals of peace, but they are different concepts. There is bound to be a fight between us. Xiaonan, you don't have to be sad about this."

"Because it means whoever wins will bring peace to the world."

Xiao Nan gritted his teeth and said:

"Nagato, do you really have to do this?"

Zhi and Nagato, who clearly have the same goals, turn out to be on opposite sides due to the dispute over their ideals, which makes Konan extremely painful.

Nagato looked into the distance and replied firmly:

"Human beings are all selfish, stupid creatures who are afraid of power but not moral. If they don't experience pain, they won't understand the preciousness of peace."

"In order to protect their own interests, the five major countries frequently launch wars with foreign countries to ensure the peaceful life of their countries."

"However, it is always small countries like us that become battlefields. After they launch wars in our country, our small people's lives are in ruins and people starve everywhere, but the big countries are still peaceful and peaceful."

"Such a country and such people will never be able to understand the pain of people in small countries like us. Naturally, it is impossible for them to truly understand peace."

"And what I want to do is to make them feel the pain and understand the preciousness and significance of peace!"

When Xiaonan heard this, he shook his head in pain.

Nagato continued:

"And in order to do this, I must collect tailed beasts, master the power to destroy a country with one blow, and make the world feel pain."

“After the world feels the pain, there will be a period of peace in the world.”

"However, as time goes by and the fear of pain in the world gradually dissipates, people will start war again. Then, the fear of making the world feel pain will strike again, and people will enter a temporary peace."

"And in an infinite time, using pain to bring temporary peace to the world, again and again, this is my dream!"

After Nagato finished speaking, dozens of puppet figures with black sticks stuck in their bodies walked out of the room behind him and came to behind Nagato.

Looking at Xiaonan, they said in unison:

“This is our dream too!!!”

Yahiko, animal realm, Shura realm, hungry ghost realm, human realm, hell realm, Jiosuke, Daibutsu, Hanazhi

Seeing the figure behind Nagato, Konan was stunned, and tears instantly fell from his eyes.

These people were all her and Nagato's companions in the Akatsuki organization during the period led by Yahiko, and they all died fighting for the ideal of peace.

The existence of these people made it impossible for Xiaonan to say any more words of advice.

Seeing Konan with tears streaming down her face, Nagato pointed at the giant Buddha and smiled:

"These are the puppets I asked Xie to make for me. They look very similar to the Buddha when he was alive, and the structure is similar to the human body. They are very easy to control."

“With them around, I feel like I’m back in time.”

After Nagato finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh. Although the time in the Akatsuki organization was difficult, it was his happiest time.

There is a goal to strive for, and there are like-minded companions who help each other.

so good! ! !

Xiaonan sniffed and nodded vigorously.

"picture!"

Then, Xiaonan said:

"I want to come back."

All the comrades who died in the battle appeared in front of him, and Xiaonan was instantly filled with guilt. He felt as if he had betrayed them and his own comrades.

Nagato smiled, shook his head and said:

"What a stupid thing to say."

"Too many people died here. The pain of their deaths made me grow, but it also made me extremely painful."

"You finally escaped from here, had your own career and ideas, and lived a happy life. How could I let you come back and continue to suffer."

"But" Xiaonan said.

Nagato interrupted him directly: "There is nothing wrong with it."

Then, Nagato walked up to Konan, handed her a letter, and said with a smile:

"If you live a happy life, then even if we fail, it proves that our sacrifice is meaningful."

"From now on, you will protect Yu Ninja Village, and your mission now and in the future is to live well and live happily."

After saying that, Nagato patted Konan on the shoulder, smiled at her, and walked out of the tower.

He just needs to bear the fate of the Akatsuki organization.

Then, Tendo Payne Yahiko also came to Konan, smiled at her, patted her shoulder, and then followed Nagato to the front.

After that, there are the animal path, the Shura path, the hungry ghost path, the human path, the hell path, the Jiuzhu, the Big Buddha, and the Hua Zhi.

Pairs of cold hands gently patted Xiaonan's shoulders, and figures one after another passed her by and left her.

Xiaonan turned around and looked at the people who were drifting away. Tears welled up in her eyes again and she cried bitterly.

"Nagato, Yahiko, wait for me"

The grief-stricken Xiaonan shouted and hurriedly chased him out.

Nagato in the crowd stopped, turned back and smiled at her, then followed the crowd and disappeared together.

"Wait for me"

Looking at the people who disappeared into white smoke, Xiaonan fell to the ground weakly, stretched out her right hand and grabbed weakly in the air.

At this moment, she felt like she was abandoned.

Swish!

Zhixiang appeared instantly and gently held Xiaonan's right hand in the air.

He had eavesdropped through the phosphorus bugs on Xiaonan's body and knew that Nagato was ready to entrust Xiaonan to him completely.

Xiaonan looked at Zhixiang who appeared, tears surged more and more, and said aggrievedly:

"Zhixiang, Nagato and the others don't want me anymore."

"They don't want you, they just entrust you to me." Zhixiang held Xiaonan in his arms, patted her back gently, and patiently comforted her.

Just as Nagato said, too many people died here, and too many of their companions were sacrificed.

The deaths of these people were like wronged souls entangled with Nagato, forcing him to continue walking.

The current Nagato is not so much Nagato as he is the embodiment of Akatsuki's long-standing obsession with peace.

In order to make these people's sacrifice meaningful and to fulfill their dreams.

Nagato has no choice but to keep going.
