"My pains are threefold."

In the dark cave, the red-haired young man was hung high.

His face was pale and his ribs were clearly visible.

There were two people standing in front, one was Yahiko and the other was Konan.

The gray-black cave was dripping water, dripping on Nagato, dripping on Konan, but not on Yahiko.

Standing in the light at the entrance of the cave was Uzumaki Naruto.

Fate is really magical.

Sensei Jiraiya taught the three of them, and in the future he would teach Uzumaki Naruto.

And now, Uzumaki Naruto is full of confidence and wants to put the world in order.

But it is useless. As long as people can no longer understand each other, the war will never stop.

Carried away by their naivety, Yahiko, and Konan have already fallen.

"First, my parents were killed by Konoha ninjas."

That was a long, long time ago.

Nagato could no longer remember the faces of his parents, but he could never forget the reflection on the forehead protector of the Konoha ninja.

This was the first time he was dominated by hatred and the first time he killed someone.

Uzumaki Naruto listened quietly - the man in front of him seemed really contradictory to the young boy.

Why don't people who insist on achieving world peace through war and the tailed beasts kill?

Be it Jinchūriki or expansion of power.

Nagato was only doing one thing.

collect.

Facing the seriously injured Kakashi, Nagato's choice was:

Send back to Konoha.

Facing Jiraiya who came to support Konoha, Nagato's choice was:

procrastination.

Even for those who actually participated in this war, Nagato would not actually kill them.

Nagato's first pain took only five minutes. He told the story slowly, and Naruto listened slowly.

This is the end of a stage, and it is time for both Nagato and Naruto to take a break.

"You don't want to kill anyone, why?"

Before the second agony began, Nagato fell into a silence he had never experienced before.

Naruto asked, expressing the doubts in his mind.

The red-haired young man lowered his head. He looked at Konan on the left, and then at Yahiko on the right.

A breath of foul air came out of Nagato's mouth, and Naruto knew that he was getting closer to the truth.

"Someone once told me..."

“God uses his own power without paying a price.”

"I didn't know what it meant at the time, but this sentence has always remained in my heart."

A cool breeze squeezed in from the narrow cave, lifting Nagato's bangs to cover his eyes.

"When I thought at this moment, I had the power of God..."

“I will remember what that person said.”

"I am not a god, and I have no right to decide the life and death of human beings."

If that person saw them now, he would definitely be disappointed.

"Our second pain is related to that person."

The next person to be told is Xiaonan.

She looked like she was in great pain, and every word she spoke was pierced by a heart-wrenching sadness.

"He found us in the midst of chaos, settled everything, and then left quietly."

...

"Ouch..."

The little one curled up at Nagato's feet, wailing constantly.

This is a cave, and the battle zone is less than a hundred meters away.

The murderous aura was overwhelming, and the owner of the murderous aura was standing on top of a huge summoning beast, fighting fiercely with the Konoha ninja.

Their position was good, allowing them to see below without being easily discovered.

Hanzo Salamander was already busy dealing with the Konoha ninjas, so how could he have the time to care about the person lying on top of him?

...

“That day, we came to a place we had never been before.”

Xiaonan looked towards the cave entrance, tears glistening in her eyes.

"The Konoha Sannin had previously offered to take him away, but he refused."

"That's a cave similar to this one."

"It's draughty and leaky."

"For the first time, we saw a ninja who could rival Hanzo of the Salamander."

"That is, Jiraiya-sensei and his companions."

The cave was dim and nothing could be seen clearly, but Naruto could see the crystal liquid sliding down Xiaonan's cheek.

...

"Brother Nora, they are so strong!"

Yahiko was the most excited, his eyes fixed on the four people fighting fiercely below.

"Yeah, they're strong."

Konan huddled in Neji's arms, her worry growing.

Her voice trembled and she looked up at Neji.

"Stronger than you?"

All the heat in my body was running away from home, and my heart, which was hanging in the air, shattered along with the arrival of Neji's answer.

"Of course, they are much better than me."

But they are not you, brother.

"That's amazing! What kind of ninjutsu is that? Can we learn it too?"

Yahiko pulled Nagato and stood near the cave entrance.

"I think... maybe it's OK..."

Nagato still looked timid, looking at Konan and Yahiko from time to time.

They all knew what was coming.

Yahiko has been watching.

Watch the flames of war flying all over the sky and the ninjas covered in wounds.

His eyes were unlike the words he spoke - no worship of power, no yearning for war.

It is only mankind's original and purest desire for peace.

Neji held Konan in his arms, leaning against the stone wall in the corner of the cave, observing Yahiko's every move with his white eyes.

"Just do what you want to do."

Yahiko turned around and saw Nora smiling and saying words to comfort him.

No matter what it is, it cannot be hidden from those white eyes.

"No regrets, try your best..."

It seemed that Nora also said these words to himself.

"The art of instantaneous body!"

The salamander escaped and disappeared without a trace.

It can even be said that he fled in panic.

Yahiko squatted in the same place, maintaining the original posture.

He saw the Konoha ninja checking the surrounding situation.

The small metal sign hanging on the blonde ninja's body swayed but made no sound.

The female ninja jumped up and followed the protrusion on the edge of the cliff. In just three or two steps, she climbed directly to where Yahiko was.

Although she was standing closest to him, Tsunade didn't see Yahiko in her eyes.

She stood there, staring at Neji in the corner of the cave.

...

"I knew at that time that we couldn't keep him."

How could she be the only one who was reluctant to leave at that time?

It’s just that Yahiko chose to obey from the very beginning.

What is separation anxiety?

The reluctance and sadness before separation may be one of them.

"Tsunade took him away as she wished, leaving only the three of us."

"And at that time, it was Jiraiya-sensei who offered to take care of us."

...

"The mission is over?"

Neji stood up holding Konan and walked to Tsunade.

The next to arrive were Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

All three of them were injured, but they did not look embarrassed. Instead, they looked incomparably heroic.

"Ah, TOEFL."

Tsunade nodded to show her understanding.

"At least for a while, there shouldn't be any problems."

If Nora had agreed at the beginning, the loss for Konoha would be more than just a "heavy loss".

"What are you going to do with these kids?"

It was Tsunade who asked the question.

Konoha can barely take care of itself, so how can it have the time to adopt war orphans?

Konan snuggled even tighter into Neji's arms, as if this way she could become one with him and no one could take her away.

Tsunade was apologetic. If they hadn't appeared here, Nora could have lived with these three children for a long time...

Even if Nora is taken away now, he will still be able to return it after a period of time.

Just for a while, a few days at most.

The blonde ninja consoled herself. Even if no one takes care of them, these children can continue to live here for several days.

It was Orochimaru who shattered Tsunade's fantasy.

The androgynous voice was extremely hoarse, and even wetter and colder than the rainy night in the Rain Village.

"Kill these kids."

Orochimaru suggested:

"I have met many war orphans, but without exception, they all ended up in a miserable way."

Orochimaru did not take action directly, but instead watched Nora's reaction leisurely.

He was intrigued by Nora - what choice would he make and why?

Hurry, tell him now!

"That's for war orphans, isn't it?"

"Lord Orochimaru."

...

"He said we are not orphans of war."

Xiaonan choked and raised her head slightly, not wanting the tears to continue flowing.

“We are children with families.”

"I have always been a child with a family. Now and in the future."

Nagato nodded tremblingly:

"After that, Jiraiya-sensei took on the job of taking care of us."

"He took us with him in his life..."

"Although it's a little different from the life I had with him, it can be considered happy for us."

After Konan regrouped, she continued Nagato's words:

"We have been waiting for him to pick us up."

"Until one day, someone attacked our residence while Sensei Jiraiya was out."

"Yahiko is about to be killed, but he hasn't shown up yet."

"He was a miracle for us, and the miracle didn't happen again."

Nagato sighed again: "Driven by hatred, I killed someone again. And after that, Jiraiya, who had never intended to teach us ninjutsu, began to teach us ninjutsu."

"Sensei Jiraiya said it was to give us the ability to defend ourselves."

"But for me, it taught me how to use my eyes."

"This pair..."

"Reincarnation Eye."

"He didn't come back until three years later, when Sensei Jiraiya left."

Yahiko spoke, this was the first time "Pein" spoke.

He and Nagato are the inside and outside of each other, and he lives as Nagato's body and eyes.

Nagato became like this in order to save him, and correspondingly, Yahiko also chose a completely different lifestyle from before.

"It was like he disappeared from our lives forever until that day."

"This is our second pain, the disappearance of our loved ones."

“And the third pain happened on that day.”
