Naruto in Infinity

"The leader of the Akatsuki organization in public? In public?" Nagato murmured this title, and then smiled bitterly. He wanted to refute it, but when he thought of the masked man and Juehou, he found that this title was so appropriate.

"It's a pity that I have been used for so long and I don't know it." Although Nagato didn't know what the specific plan of the masked man was, it should definitely not be the one he told him at that time. Otherwise, he wouldn't jump out so anxiously.

Nagato thought that although he couldn't defeat Xia Li, he still had some value. For example, didn't the other party think of using the ability of virtualization to take him away?

Although he probably wouldn't agree, the fact that the other party didn't even try could also explain some problems.

The other party never regarded him as a companion, but a chess piece that could be abandoned at any time.

"Being used for so long? Then do you know when you were used?" Xia Li asked jokingly while treating Nagato.

"…You mean, didn't I start being used after Yahiko's death?" Nagato's body suddenly tensed up. If that was the case, then he suddenly thought of something. Was Yahiko's death also related to the masked man?

"Smart." Xia Li also felt more relaxed. Talking to a smart person really didn't require him to tell everything one by one.

"Then, please tell me when I started being used?" Nagato asked, with a little anxiety in his voice.

"Of course it started when you got the Samsara Eye." Xia Li replied.

Nagato was stunned, because he had thought of many results, but he didn't think that the time Xia Li said would be so early.

This made him, who wanted to question as long as Xia Li said it, not know what to say for a while.

As for what the question was, it was of course 'Were you there at that time? Why can you be sure that I was used at that time? ' and so on.

Now, the time Xia Li said made Nagato unable to figure it out. That time can't be seen at all from what Xiaonan just said, right?

"Tell me about it." Nagato asked after a moment of silence. It was so outrageous that he felt it might be true...

"As the eyes of the legendary Six Paths Sage, do you know how the Samsara Eye was born?" Xia Li also asked.

"Born? Shouldn't it be...born?" A string in Nagato's mind jumped at this time. He had never doubted the origin of the Samsara Eye, but according to Xia Li, isn't the Samsara Eye born?

"Of course not, at least... your pair of Samsara Eyes are not, because except for that clan, the birth of the Samsara Eye is not achieved overnight, but evolved through the Sharingan." Xia Li thought for a while, but still did not mention the Otsutsuki clan.

"Sharingan?" Nagato and Konan both paused, not expecting Xia Li's words to be so explosive.

Xia Li continued, "So, even if your mother is from the Uzumaki clan and your father is from the Uchiha clan, it is impossible to open the Samsara Eye directly, but it will evolve step by step through the Sharingan, three magatama, Mangekyō, and then the Samsara Eye."

"Are you sure?" Nagato asked a little dryly at this time. He felt that his thoughts had completely stopped at this moment, because if what Xia Li said was true, then his life... was a joke!

"Of course I am sure, I don't have to lie to you, and don't you think it's strange? If it was your eye, would it really be so difficult for you to use it?" Xia Li said.

Indeed... there is no need, plus the feeling of relief and relief from Nagato's body after he dug out his eyes. At this time, Nagato suddenly realized that it was not an illusion, but the feeling of throwing away something that did not belong to his body...

But if it is true...

Nagato's body was trembling, and at this moment, his thoughts were flying.

"Nagato..." Konan also looked at Nagato with some worry at this moment.

Nagato was lost in memories at this moment, recalling things he didn't want to recall since he was a child.

That night was the night his parents died, and it was also the night he 'awakened' the Samsara Eye.

Now, that night is still vivid in Nagato's memory, the trembling him, and his parents who rushed out to protect him...

He had never doubted the origin of the Samsara Eye before, but now that he doubted it, was it all accidental?

The voice he heard in the house was indeed that the ninjas of Konoha killed his parents, but the conversation he heard at the beginning was actually that the other party was just searching for food. Later, the conversation after killing his parents showed that the other party also mistakenly thought that his parents were enemy ninjas and killed them...

In the past, Nagato thought that this misunderstanding was meaningless, because even if it was just a misunderstanding, his parents really died in their hands!

But now, if what Xia Li said was true, then was the arrival of the two Konoha ninjas for food really a coincidence?

"That's right, your life is destined. The death of your parents made you open the Samsara Eye that didn't belong to you, and the death of your best friend also led you to the path that the other person had arranged for you." Xia Li said.

"So, even if there was no Danzo incident, would there still be other things happening?" Nagato asked a little dully.

"Of course, or you should be thankful that only Yahiko's death led you to this path." Xia Li couldn't help but look at Xiaonan.

Xiaonan was also a little silent at this moment, because according to Xia Li's words, if Nagato still insisted on his previous ideas, then she should be the next one.

Nagato also understood what Xia Li meant, and his mind was completely confused.

If what Xia Li said was true, the Samsara Eye did not belong to him, and the original owner of the Samsara Eye was probably in the same group as the masked man and Zetsu, then the other party's behavior would be explained.

Are they worried that their Samsara Eye would fall into Xia Li's hands and they would not be able to get it back?

"Why should I believe you?" Nagato's voice at this moment was full of struggle and pain, as if he had lost everything. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his life was really... worthless.

"If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. I just told the truth, and I didn't expect you to really believe it." Xia Li shrugged and said.

"..." Nagato was silent, and the shock in his heart continued. In other words, he was about to collapse.

"Sixth Hokage, why are you doing this?" Xiaonan stared at Xia Li, a little puzzled. Obviously, the other party let them go, but why did he say these things at this time? Obviously, he could not say them, and there would be no impact if he did not say them, right?

"Why do you do this? The sentence just now, the death penalty can be exempted, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Don't you think that it was really a punishment before?" Xia Li said sarcastically, "Just now, it was just Jiraiya teacher, so I couldn't tell everything."

"Besides, the truth is just the truth. Whether I say it or not, it is there. Or is Nagato willing to be manipulated for a lifetime and then die without knowing the truth?" Xia Li is still treating Nagato at this moment. His current medical level, if counted as Yang escape, is not much weaker than Tsunade.

As for why Xia Li did this, the reason is indeed a punishment.

Xia Li can be sure that if Jiraiya goes to investigate the Hidden Rain Village, then Jiraiya's ending will probably be no different from the original.

Nagato will still kill Jiraiya.

This incident did not happen, so Xia Li could spare Nagato and Konan's lives.

However, if it was just like this, it would not pass Xia Li's heart, because others did not know what happened in the original book, but he knew it. If he did not impose punishment, Xia Li would feel very unhappy.

There is a saying that lies do not hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife!

And Nagato, who was stabbed by this knife, will have to heal this wound for the rest of his life.

"Nagato, don't believe him, he has no evidence to prove that what he said is true!" Konan looked at the trembling Nagato at this moment, and couldn't help but said.

"... Konan, he didn't have to lie to me." Nagato said so.

Suddenly, Konan was silent. If Nagato was willing to believe it, what else could she say?

However, Nagato was a little confused at this moment and asked, "Excuse me, why did you tell me this? Do you really just want to punish me?"

"Otherwise?" Xia Li asked back.

Nagato was silent for a while, and then couldn't help asking, "Sixth Hokage, there wasn't much hatred between you and me before, right?"

"Yes, indeed." Xia Li nodded, which made Nagato even more confused.

"Before, Jiraiya-sensei planned to go to Rain Village alone to investigate the intelligence of the Akatsuki Organization. I want to know, if Jiraiya-sensei really went there at that time, what would you do?" Xia Li asked.

Nagato was silent after hearing this, and he also started to think. If it was him before, then there seemed to be only one answer...

"So, do you understand?" Xia Li asked back.

"I understand..." Nagato couldn't respond at this time, he could only remain silent, and Xiaonan was also silent at this time, and she also got the answer from Nagato's answer.

Will Nagato kill Jiraiya-sensei himself?

At this time, Xiaonan didn't know what to think. Would she stop it? Probably... not either? She would only follow Nagato's actions.

"But, didn't such a thing happen?" Xiaonan squeezed out a smile at this moment and said.

"So, you are still alive now." Xia Li glanced at Xiaonan and said so.

Suddenly, Xiaonan and Nagato were silent at the same time. So that's it...

However, at the same time, they were a little puzzled. Why was the other party so sure that Jiraiya would die in the Rain Village?

In the end, they did not ask this question.

After a long time.

"Okay, it's over." Xia Li said as the green light on his palm disappeared.

"Nagato, how do you feel?" Xiaonan looked at Nagato a little nervously and asked.

"I feel... very good." Nagato clenched his fists and was a little surprised. He said, "The medical ninjutsu of the Sixth Hokage is very strong."

"That's good." Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief.

"In addition, do you still need this equipment?" Xia Li looked at the machine under Nagato and asked.

"No, without the Samsara Eye, this machine will be useless." Nagato replied.

"Then I'll take it away and throw it to the group of researchers." Xia Li thought about it and said, and Nagato didn't say anything more.

Konan had already helped Nagato out of the machine.

After Xia Li sealed the machine with the seal technique, he took Nagato and Konan and left with Flying Thunder God.

…………

Jiraiya's residence.

Nagato sensed everything that suddenly changed around him and was a little surprised.

"Is this... Flying Thunder God? It's so convenient."

"You are finally here. How is it? Has Nagato's body been cured? If not, I will go find Tsunade." Jiraiya asked with a smile at this moment.

"It has been cured, Jiraiya teacher, I still have things to do, so I will leave first." Xia Li suddenly said.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Jiraiya scratched his head.

"Well, Konoha's alert status has not been lifted yet, I have to go back to confirm it first." Xia Li replied.

"Is that so." Jiraiya nodded. This was indeed a more urgent matter, so Jiraiya did not keep Xia Li any longer.

Looking at Xia Li's leaving figure, Jiraiya also sighed, and once again felt fortunate that he had accepted such a disciple.

At this time, Jiraiya also looked at Nagato and Konan. He didn't know what Xia Li had said to Nagato and Konan after he was sent away. However, as long as they were all alive... it was fine.

As long as he didn't go too far, Jiraiya would not interfere with Xia Li's thoughts.

Jiraiya didn't ask Nagato and Konan what Xia Li had said. Since they had sent him away, it meant that those words were not what he should have heard. He didn't need to care so much.

…………

In the Konoha shelter, many villagers were staying here at the moment.

The last time they came here was the Chunin Exam a few years ago. They stayed here for a long time that time. I wonder how long they will stay this time?

It shouldn't be short, right?

Although they didn't see any specific enemies, some people who came late saw the huge Chibaku Tensei in the sky, and they were also describing the shocking feeling to those who hadn't seen it before.

It was as if there was another spherical continent in the sky...

Though those who came early did not see the power of Chibaku Tensei with their own eyes, they also felt the continuous vibrations generated when Chibaku Tensei was born, which was something that had not happened in the Chunin Exam.

However, even so, no one was too worried, because they also had their Hokage.

They also believed that their Hokage would definitely solve all the problems.

At this time, Uchiha Sasuke, the senior ninja in charge of arranging the refuge, also came to everyone again, and then when everyone was a little confused.

Sasuke smiled and said, "This time the crisis has been resolved, and the Sixth Hokage has solved the invading enemy."

After Sasuke finished speaking, there was silence in the shelter at first, and then when Sasuke was a little confused, a strong cheer suddenly broke out.

Seeing this, Sasuke also smiled slightly. This time the mission was also something he had fought for. After all, it was too covert to do things as an Anbu. If you want to become a Hokage, you still need deeds on the surface.

Therefore, Sasuke would not miss this opportunity to show off in front of everyone.

However, Sasuke also thought of Naruto at this time. Was he trying to sneak away by doing this?

But, I will not give you the position of Hokage, Naruto.

Sasuke thought to himself.

After leaving the shelter, Sasuke also looked at everything in Konoha. It was basically in good condition, but there were still some old and dilapidated buildings that were collapsed by the earthquake just now.

However, this kind of house should have been demolished, so there was basically no loss.

Thinking of this, Sasuke couldn't help but think of the Chibaku Tensei in the sky before, and he was a little silent. If it was him, how would he get rid of the Chibaku Tensei?

With his current strength, it seems difficult to fight against the Chibaku Tensei, which made Sasuke take a deep breath. Sure enough, his strength is still not enough...

A few days later, Konoha's interior returned to its former bustle.

And in Konoha, two more people have quietly appeared since that incident.

It was Nagato and Konan. Nagato was sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by Konan, and Jiraiya was walking beside them.

Jiraiya was introducing everything around them to Nagato and Konan. Of course, they were all places needed for life. No matter how stupid Jiraiya was, he would never take Nagato and Konan to the secret base.

Konan was listening carefully beside him. She and Nagato would live here in the future, so they still needed to know about the people selling daily necessities.

Nagato didn't say anything at this moment. He didn't want to go out, but Jiraiya pulled him over.

Now, Nagato didn't have his eyes transplanted. His eye sockets were a bit scary, so the position of his eyes was also covered by a black cloth.

Nagato listened to everything around him, the cheers of the children and the bargaining around him, and felt a little uncomfortable.

So this is what the Great Ninja Village looks like? He had never felt this way in the Rain Ninja Village, so peaceful and happy.

Even Nagato knew that even Konoha could not be without dark corners, but it was much better than the Rain Village...

However, this peace and joy were built on the suffering of their small ninja village.

Nagato's fist on the wheelchair armrest was clenched tightly at this moment.

Suddenly, Nagato felt a gust of wind coming towards him. The next moment, Nagato only felt a small figure bump into him.

Nagato subconsciously stretched out his thin hand to support the little guy who bumped into him.

"Hey, Jiro, why didn't you look at the road? You bumped into someone else." The playful voice of the little guy's companion came from the side.

"Well, I'm sorry, big brother, I didn't mean to bump into you." The little guy named Jiro looked at Nagato in front of him and said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, go and continue playing with them, but you have to look more at the road." Nagato didn't know what he was feeling, so he followed his heart and said.

"Yeah, thank you, big brother. I'll give you this as an apology." Jiro said as he gave Nagato an unopened lollipop, and then started playing with his little friend before Nagato could refuse. And left.

Nagato was left in a bit of silence holding the lollipop.

Konan watched this scene with a smile from behind. She originally wanted to stop Jiro when she saw him about to hit Nagato, but she was stopped by Jiraiya.

Now that I saw this scene, I also thought of what happened when I was a child. Xiaonan looked at the children running away and thought, how good it is. There is no need to hide around or steal food to survive...

"Nagato, do you think these are all false?" Jiraiya asked softly at this time.

Nagato remained silent.

“Every one of us hopes for world peace, but that hope is so big that we don’t know how to realize it, but I will at least protect what is happening in front of me and my village to avoid the pain of war. "Jiraiya said, "To me, the hope in the village is not false."

Then, the three of them continued walking. It turned out that both Xiaonan and Nagato felt their previous emotions in Jiraiya, the amiable teacher.

However, what later made Konan and Nagato a little stunned was that when they came to a place with more bathing centers, many people around them directly cursed Jiraiya as a pervert when they saw him...

Then, Konan and Nagato realized that it was their teacher who often spied on...

"That's not voyeurism, it's lighting for artistic creation!" Jiraiya strongly refuted the idea of ​​voyeurism.

But no matter what, the great image of teacher that Jiraiya originally wanted to continue to build collapsed at this moment, which made Konan couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, Nagato, listening to Jiraiya's argument, still holding the lollipop in his hand, had to admit that life here was much better than in the Rain Ninja Village...

Do you enjoy this and miss Shu?

If you are a happy-go-lucky person, that would naturally be a good result, but for Nagato, who has lofty ideals, perhaps this is also a punishment.

However, he has no choice now, or is it the best choice to abandon that ideal and integrate into the current life?

Or... Nagato clenched his fist. Although he didn't completely believe Xia Li's words, there was really no need for the other party to deceive him, so he still carried a blood feud. However... how could he talk about revenge in his current situation?

Nagato finally sighed complicatedly and listened to everything around him.

He is now just a cripple who relies on a wheelchair to move around. Whether it is ideals or revenge, he is completely unable to achieve it...

This feeling of powerlessness made him suffer, made him struggle, and made him want to say goodbye to the world immediately, but he had to continue living for Xiaonan.

"So, is this my punishment?" Nagato murmured.

Then, Nagato slowly opened the lollipop in his hand, stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it.

Very sweet, yet very bitter.
