206: Confession
As Nagato told, there seemed to be a picture in the minds of everyone.
In a dilapidated house affected by war, young Nagato is huddled with his parents, each with a look of fatigue and worry on their faces. Just as the family of three was trying to find a trace of peace in the raging flames of war, there was suddenly the sound of heavy footsteps and the noise of steel clashing outside.
Nagato's father stood up quickly, went to the window and took a careful look. "Quick, hide!" His face changed, and he ordered immediately.
Before she had time to think about it, Nagato's mother immediately grabbed Nagato and hid it in the secret compartment under the bed. Bang bang bang, several heavy knocks on the door, the door was kicked open and several Konoha Shinobi Japanese broke in.
"Is there no one? It looks like someone lives here." One of the ninjas said doubtfully.
Nagato's father stepped out, raising his hands: "Please, we are civilians, don't- hurt us.'
"Civilians? These days, who can guarantee that you are not the enemy's spies?" Another ninja said with a sneer, and then suddenly his expression changed, and he drew out his dagger.
Hearing a "chi", Nagato's father fell to the ground, and Nagato's mother screamed and rushed out, but also suffered the same misfortune.
The room was filled with bloody smell, and Nagato hid in the dark cell, his body trembling involuntarily. He watched his parents being killed by the so-called "righteous" ninjas in front of him, and he felt at a loss and despair.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see here." One of the ninjas muttered, and they turned and left the house.
After confirming that they were far away, Nagato came out trembling, knelt beside the dead body of his parents, tears streaming down uncontrollably. Just then, a voice broke the dead silence.
"Are you okay?" It was Yahiko and Konan, who hurried in with panic on their faces.
Nagato wordlessly pointed to the dead bodies of his parents.
Both Yahiko and Konan felt heartache when they saw this scene. "Sorry if we came earlier...." Yahiko bit her lip.
"No, it's not your fault. It's the world...too cruel." Nagato's voice was low, full of pain and disappointment.
Konan walked over, gently took out a piece of cloth, and covered Nagato's parents: "We can't let them be exposed like this."
0...asking for flowers...
Yahiko held Nagato's hand tightly: "From now on, we are a family, and we want to live, for them, and to change the world."
Nagato looked at Yahiko and Konan, then nodded slowly. From that moment on, the three of them became a real family. In that troubled world, they depended on each other and lived together with a common goal...to change this world full of pain and despair.
Nagato came back to his senses, and his eyes re-locked on Naruto: "You know now, one of my greatest pains is losing my parents like this. Konoha Shinobi brought me more than just physical pain, There are also emotional wounds that cannot heal.”
Naruto was silent for a while, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Nagato, I can't experience your pain, but I understand how pain can make people. The problem is, do you think revenge on the world with more pain and death will make you Did it get better wide?".
