Naruto Uzumaki, who is usually noisy and good at enlivening the atmosphere, spoke in a hoarse and choked voice, as if he was squeezing out that address from his sore throat.
While undergoing eye transplant surgery, Sasuke Uchiha listened to Naruto's voice, a mixture of pain and joy, and for some reason, he felt a sense of empathy.
That idiot
It hurts too... and he cries like this in the arms of his loved ones. Before his almost blind eyes, Uchiha Sasuke seemed to see the scene of their first duel at the Valley of the End.
You've been alone since you were little! How could you possibly understand how I feel?!
"Sasuke! You are—.·"
—This bond I finally managed to build!
He must have cried then, right?
That super big idiot—
Sakura saw Sasuke's blood-stained tears roll down his cheeks and onto her knees, and quickly asked, "Does it hurt?"
Sasuke said softly, with a nasal tone and a hint of laughter, "A planet-exploding star got into my eye."
Sakura was also completely melted by the sight of Naruto crying while clinging to Jiraiya; she's naturally prone to tears.
"Don't make me laugh, you jerk." Tears fell onto the back of her hand holding the scalpel. Sakura Haruno: "Tears and snot are flowing out together, you bastard."
Jiraiya stared blankly ahead...
Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, Yahiko, and Konan.
There's also Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi, and the Uchiha clan who died many years ago.
Looking at the golden head on his chest, Jiraiya was quite surprised.
"Naruto—"
This should have been such a touching scene.
However, Jiraiya angrily smacked Naruto on the head and scolded him: "Why are you here so early, brat?! Didn't I tell you to live a good life! To lead the world to peace! At least become Hokage or something before you die?!"
Yahiko also went through these things. He never expected to be resurrected and thought that Konan and the others had also died.
Naruto jumped down angrily and yelled, "You perverted sage, you idiot! Don't hit my head! You'll make me stupid!"
Jiraiya: "You weren't exactly smart to begin with! If you were half as smart as Minato, you wouldn't have ended up in this world!"
Minato Namikaze reluctantly stepped forward to explain.
Naruto was so moved by Jiraiya's actions that he couldn't hold back any longer. If the situation allowed, he would have definitely used his self-created ninjutsu to make that perverted sage go into shock from blood loss! (His intuition told him it was best not to use that self-created ninjutsu in front of his mother.)
After hearing everything, Jiraiya was finally relieved. He was genuinely worried that Naruto would also lose to Nagato and be killed by him, and that the world would ultimately be destroyed as prophesied.
However, upon hearing that Naruto not only defeated Nagato but also awakened his true feelings, Jiraiya patted the still-sulking Naruto on the shoulder with great enthusiasm.
"The Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant has ended, and the new chapter, The Tale of Naruto the Uzumaki, is about to begin. This is definitely a book that will sell like hotcakes!"
Everyone here recalled the barrage of comments that filled the sky.
Those swimming dragons return to the sea, the sea does not welcome them, yet they come of their own accord.
Those tens of thousands of likes...
Kakashi said, "You're too modest, Jiraiya-sama. Your book is a bestseller."
Jiraiya leaned closer to Kakashi, a little embarrassed, and whispered, "No, no, no, I know you really like 'Icha Icha Paradise,' but you don't have to praise me in front of so many people, do you?"
Those were merely works he wrote to make a living; it was a case of unintended consequences leading to unexpected success. How can they be compared to works like "The Tale of Naruto Uzumaki," which he used to entrust his hopes for peace?
"Ahem," Minato awkwardly reminded him, "Jiraiya-sensei, Kakashi was talking about your life. 'Jiraiya's Tale of the Gallant' is also a best-selling book."
Now the two of them were in an awkward situation. Kakashi was sweating profusely, and the skin exposed by his mask turned red.
At this moment, Kakashi really wanted to pay a fortune for a mouth that had never said a word.
Rin Nohara (resurrected due to Sasuke's wish) blinked: "Make-Out Paradise??" The girl's gentle voice was surprisingly penetrating. "What kind of book is Make-Out Paradise?"
The word "taste" was flooding Obito's mind again. Heaven knows that their Mangekyou Sharingan share vision within a certain distance!
Kushina's fists were cracking. She had told Naruto to stay away from Jiraiya-sensei!! But she forgot to tell Kakashi!!
Fortunately, the prompting from the Divine Tree's barrage of comments eased the awkwardness between Kakashi and Jiraiya.
"Naruto Uzumaki, what is your second wish?"
"The Lustful Immortal—"
Naruto looked at Jiraiya, his expression somewhat troubled.
Jiraiya: "What?"
Minato explained to him that Naruto had to choose three wishes from nine, and that he had already used one, leaving two wishes remaining.
Jiraiya followed Naruto's gaze and looked at the nine wishes. Excluding the last one, which had turned gray, there were still eight left to choose from.
"Make you and Sasuke a couple through your wish??" This was the first bizarre task that Jiraiya noticed.
He tilted his head, looking incredulous. "This wish is so strange. Or have I been misunderstanding Uchiha Sasuke's gender all along?"
It's a pity Sasuke was forced to undergo eye transplant surgery while pinned to the ground, otherwise he would have been "Amataras"!
Naruto slumped his shoulders, completely at a loss.
"I don't know either. Those 'all-knowing gods' always say that Sasuke and I not getting married is their biggest regret. They also complain that the Second Hokage's three-person team policy is creating a love triangle disaster. The three-person team is creating a love triangle disaster."
Jiraiya seemed to remember something, and suddenly shivered violently!
Quickly focus your attention on the mirror filled with wishes to avoid letting your mind wander.
Jiraiya quickly understood the reason for Naruto's dilemma.
No wonder they insisted on reviving him first before considering what the second wish would be?
[Eighth, Resurrecting Nagato]
Jiraiya's gaze lingered on this wish option.
In just a few seconds, countless scenes of his battle with Pain flashed through his mind, as well as the warm moments the four of them spent together in that hut in Amegakure.
"Regarding Nagato killing the perverted sage..."
Naruto's voice was low: "I can't forgive him on behalf of the perverted sage, and the Akatsuki killed many Jinchuriki like me during their capture of the Tailed Beasts—"
"I have no way to forgive Nagato on their behalf."
Naruto understood Nagato's pain and his desire for peace.
But logically, Naruto himself cannot forgive Nagato on behalf of anyone else.
So this time he wanted to be willful for once.
Just like how his father and the perverted sage always entrusted him, a junior with little experience, with problems they couldn't figure out, he was still a genin who knew nothing. He just wanted to protect his important bonds and find his best friend who wanted to sever those bonds and suffer alone. Somehow, he was comforted and given the destiny of saving the world.
So this time.
He also wanted to leave the questions he couldn't figure out to the lecherous immortal to make a choice.
"You've finally learned your lesson!"
Jiraiya gently ruffled Naruto's hair and whispered, "You've grown a little taller, haven't you?"
Naruto: "Yeah, I've already learned Sage Mode."
Jiraiya recounted the past three years of training Naruto and their life evading the Akatsuki's pursuit.
After a moment, he said, "Just like you said, Nagato not only killed me, but the Akatsuki organization also caused countless troubles in their pursuit of the Tailed Beasts."
"And the reason they have such a life, and why they hate this ninja world so much, is that it all goes back to their childhood, when their country and village were used as battlefields for Konoha to fight against other ninja villages."
Nagato's parents were also mistakenly killed by Konoha ninjas because of this.
So how do we forgive, how do we clearly define who is right and who is wrong? How do we calculate who is right and who is wrong?
"Humans are naturally prone to subconsciously judging other things from their own perspective."
Jiraiya recalled his experience when he went to Amegakure.
Although the outside world hates the Akatsuki organization.
However, the common people and ninjas of Amegakure worshipped the "angel" they spoke of.
Amegakure, which was once so badly damaged by other ninja nations that it couldn't even afford to eat its fill and its children had to beg and steal on the streets, has now become a completely different place.
The angels brought them a stable life.
He wanted to grant them the most basic human right to live and thrive in their own country. Jiraiya patted Naruto on the shoulder, "Naruto—"
"As the teacher of Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, I beg you to help me revive Nagato."
"The Lustful Immortal—"
Jiraiya: "In any case, Amegakure needs a leader who can support their peaceful development, and I believe Konan and Yahiko can keep Nagato in check, right?"
Yahiko, of course, had always hoped to revive Nagato, and upon hearing Jiraiya's words, he readily agreed: "Of course! If that brat dares to do anything again—" or anything outrageous again! As the boss, I'll definitely smash his pig's head in!
A glint of light flickered in Konan's eyes, and she nodded vigorously when Jiraiya looked at her. Just like the girl Jiraiya remembered, always silently sacrificing for her two companions—gentle yet so strong.
It seemed as if everything was about to return to normal, and even Jiraiya felt a strong sense of anticipation.
Naruto made his second wish.
"Nagato has been confirmed resurrected."
It was similar to when Jiraiya was resurrected.
Yahiko could hardly believe the sight of Nagato appearing in the coffin.
It looked like the little one they had raised together when they were kids, but due to food shortages and severe malnutrition, all that was left was skin covering bones.
The lips were colorless and severely chapped.
His hair was dry and white, making him look like an old man who was nearly a hundred years old.
Konan explained to him, "Nagato controlled the Six Paths of Pain by relying on the Gedo Mazo, and he sustained his faith by overdrawing his chakra and life force."
His faith.
May Yahiko become a god and save the world from suffering.
Yahiko clenched his fists, his clenched teeth trembling slightly—
The woman he loved, the younger brother he cherished, had become like this after his death. Yahiko was heartbroken. "I... I only wanted you to live happily ever after."
Why did it end up like this?
Nagato was resurrected.
The resurrection of the bullet screen wall is different from the external path of reincarnation and natural life technique.
If it were the Outer Path Rinne Rebirth Technique, Nagato's leg problems should still exist after he was resurrected, his eyes should be hollow due to the loss of the Rinnegan, and the chakra reserves in his body should remain in the state they were in before his death.
However, the barrage wall gave Nagato a new Rinnegan, his legs were able to walk normally again, the missing chakra was replenished in his body, his skin became like that of a normal person, and his hair returned to its original red color.
Kushina: "That redhead!!"
Nagato opened his eyes and saw Jiraiya, Yahiko, and Konan.
Like many others, Jiraiya believed that everyone had gathered in the Pure Land.
However, upon seeing Naruto, he immediately changed his mind.
"Naruto, what is this?"
Naruto: "I'm bad with words, and I don't know how to explain it. To put it simply, the screen is full of strange and weird comments. The gods who know everything have resurrected us."
Nagato:
"......"
I understood each word individually, but when they were put together, I couldn't understand anything at all.
Nothing much had been happening; Xiang, who had been standing to the side scratching the wall out of jealousy that Sakura could perform surgery on Sasuke, was slightly taken aback.
Her Kagura Mind's Eye had a strong sense of when Kushina Uzumaki and Nagato were resurrected.
Kushina noticed her, of course, but Kaori was always standing on the side that seemed to be the opposing camp, and a lot was happening on their side, so Kushina didn't go over to ask her if she was a ninja of the Uzumaki clan.
After Nagato was resurrected, he came before Jiraiya.
He didn't know how to explain his crime, so he only said, "Jiraiya-sensei, I," and couldn't say anything else.
Jiraiya scratched his face, unsure what to say, but finally brought up Naruto: "Luckily, Naruto persuaded you to come back."
Otherwise, if you destroy Konoha, I, as your teacher, will truly have no face to face the past Hokage in the Pure Land!
Nagato thought of his junior brother Naruto, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "Naruto is indeed the prophesied child that Jiraiya-sensei has been searching for. Even I am willing to entrust my ideal of peace to him."
Jiraiya nodded; he thought so too.
Xiang, who was standing there quietly picking at the wall, had always hated the "masked man" who used Sasuke and led him into darkness!
Now that such a great opportunity has presented itself, Karin decides she absolutely must take action!
