Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 363 Wukong's Childlike Heart

Danzo...

Upon hearing this name from Nagatomon, Jiraiya's eyes immediately narrowed.

So Danzo did something like that back then?

It's truly unexpected that Yahiko's death was related to the other party, and this is where Nagato and Konan's transformation began.

He sighed inwardly.

He finally learned what had happened to Yahiko and the other two after he left. Those three children had really had a tough time back then.

However, the news he had received about the deaths of the three children turned out to be a false alarm; otherwise, he would have had the opportunity to go and find them again for many years after the end of World War II.

He was heartbroken after learning of the deaths of his three children, believing that his decision had harmed them. So after the end of World War II, he traveled around trying to find someone who could truly bring peace to the ninja world.

Looking back now, he should have gone to check on the three children himself. If he had done so, the tragedy that happened to Yahiko and the others might not have occurred, and Nagato's mindset wouldn't have undergone such a major change, leading to the situation we have today.

"It's my responsibility. I shouldn't have just left back then," Jiraiya said heavily.

"If I had cared more about you, things might not have turned out this way."

Xiao Nan remained silent.

Nagato glanced at Jiraiya and said calmly, "At this point, there's no point in saying such things, Jiraiya-sensei."

Only those who have experienced true suffering understand the preciousness of peace. The peaceful world you envision, where people understand each other and let go of hatred, is impossible. Only when everyone knows the horror of pain will the ninja world etch the punctuation mark of cessation.

Jiraiya-sensei, do you understand my thoughts now?

Jiraiya took a deep breath and slowly shook his head: "No, even though I now know what happened to you, I still believe that my idea is not wrong. The peace that the ninja world needs is a peace of understanding between people, not this kind of false peace achieved by the intimidation of force."

Nagato slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, as if in a cold laugh: "You really are stubborn, Jiraiya-sensei."

His gaze shifted to Naruto: "So, what about you, Naruto Uzumaki? After hearing my story, what are your thoughts now? Jiraiya-sensei placed his ridiculous ideals of peace on you, the new child of prophecy, but do you truly agree with his ideas?"

Naruto lowered his eyes, and many images flashed through his mind.

This includes scenes of him encountering Haku and Zabuza on his first mission after becoming a ninja.

There's a scene depicting his first encounter with Gaara, the hatred in Gaara's eyes, and how Gaara later changed his mind and became the gentle Fifth Kazekage.

He witnessed firsthand Sasuke's desire for revenge, leading him to betray the village.

Furthermore, during his training journey with Jiraiya, Jiraiya explained the concept of peace to him, and he witnessed various scenes that were either filled with hatred or with mutual understanding.

These images kept colliding with the story Nagato had just told him in his mind.

Finally, he raised his head and said firmly, "I understand your thoughts, but I don't support them. Compared to your extreme ideas, I agree more with the Lustful Immortal's thoughts."

Nagato's eye twitched, and her emotions suddenly intensified: "At this point, do you still fantasize that the kind of peace Jiraiya-sensei described can be achieved? This is a cursed world! As long as hatred exists, there will never be true peace!"

Ask yourself honestly: today I attacked Konoha and killed many of your people, including some you may know. Do you think you can let go of your hatred for me?

Or perhaps Jiraiya-sensei wasn't rescued last time, and he died at my hands. Can you still speak to me so calmly now?

Naruto fell silent, while Nagato's heavy breathing echoed in the enclosed space.

Jiraiya remained seated cross-legged on the ground, seemingly lost in thought, but in reality, his ears were already perked up, eager to know how Naruto, the prophesied child on whom he had placed such high hopes, would answer.

As for Wukong, after asking that question, he remained silent, as if he were pondering something.

A few seconds later, Naruto finally spoke, his voice low and deep: "You're right, I can't let go of my hatred for you. If the Perverted Sage were dead, I would be extremely angry right now, so angry that I would want to fight you to the death."

Upon hearing this, Nagato smiled, a smile he hadn't shown in many years, but it wasn't warm; instead, it was icy cold, for it was a sneer.

"Heh, you see, you keep saying you support Jiraiya-sensei's ideas, but when hatred falls on you, you can't do it either."

Jiraiya's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He sighed inwardly, wanting to say something.

But before he could speak, Naruto's voice rang out again: "Although...although I cannot let go of my hatred, as the disciple of the Perverted Sage, since the Perverted Sage has placed his ideal of peace on me, I am willing to strive to pursue that peace."

If this world is cursed, then I will break that curse! If peace truly exists, then I will bring it to fruition!

As he finished speaking, Naruto raised his resolute azure eyes, his voice growing increasingly powerful.

Jiraiya's mouth, which had just opened, closed again. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then it turned into heartfelt relief.

Nagato's pupils dilated suddenly, because he saw his own shadow in the young man in front of him.

He had said something similar to Jiraiya back then.

"You, what you're saying..."

'

Naruto met his gaze and said, "The following passage is not my words, but something written in the first book by the Perverted Sage. I have read that book before; it was a novel written by the Perverted Sage to spread the idea of ​​peace."

And on the last page of the book, the perverted sage mentions the person who inspired the book: "Your name, Nagato."

Nagato was startled and instinctively looked at Jiraiya: "W-How could this be? Jiraiya-sensei, you...."

Jiraiya sighed softly, looking at Nagato with deep emotion, and said, "Nagato, you always say that the ideal of peace is something I created by myself, but do you know that you played an indispensable role in it? When I was somewhat confused about peace, it was you who made me believe in its existence. And I wrote this book in the hope of bringing your belief in peace to everyone in the ninja world."

Nagato's pupils contracted sharply, and his fists clenched tightly, as if he had never expected to hear such words from Jiraiya.

Could it be that he was really wrong? Did he fail to stay true to his original aspirations and go down the wrong path?

For a moment, his mind was in complete turmoil, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

At this moment, Goku seemed to wake up from his thoughts. He glanced at Jiraiya and Naruto, then looked at Konan, and then at Nagato.

"I sympathize with what you have gone through, but that is absolutely no reason for you to hurt others."

Wukong said very seriously.

He was just thinking about whether the relatives and friends of the people he had killed had developed hatred and sought revenge after he thought about it. He realized that such a thing had never happened.

He thought about it again and figured it was probably because most of the people he killed were heinous criminals who deserved to die, so this kind of thing hadn't happened.

He had given those people many chances to sincerely repent and start anew, but they refused to accept it, so killing them was not a problem for him.

Nagato was still somewhat dazed from Naruto and Jiraiya's words, so he ignored Goku.

But Goku ignored all that and continued to speak his mind: "Although you have done wrong and hurt so many innocent people, if you are willing to sincerely repent, stop doing bad things, and become good people, I believe in Uncle Jiraiya..."

Naruto, and all those you've hurt, will gradually forgive you.

These words are naive, but they are Wukong's most heartfelt thoughts. His childlike heart allows him to always possess the purest and kindest qualities, and his mind is so clear that not a single speck of dust can taint it.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya didn't react much, because he already knew that Goku was a very simple person.

But Naruto, Konan, and even the dazed Nagato all regained their senses and looked at Goku with a sidelong glance.

Looking into Goku's crystal-clear eyes, Nagato chuckled softly after a long while: "Heh, are there still fools like this in this day and age?"

"6

Although Wukong thwarted his plans multiple times, for some reason, he couldn't feel any ill will towards Wukong. Especially now, after hearing Wukong's innocent words, he felt that everything he had done before was wrong.

"Hey! I'm not stupid!"

Although Wukong had a good temper, he wasn't so easily offended that he could ignore being insulted. He immediately frowned.

However, Nagato didn't look at him again. Instead, he glanced at Jiraiya and Naruto, stared at Naruto for several seconds, and then sighed.

"Never mind, maybe I was wrong. If it were you, perhaps the kind of peace that Jiraiya-sensei talked about could really be achieved."

Naruto Uzumaki, I hope you can stay true to yourself, live up to Jiraiya-sensei's expectations, and create a peaceful world where everyone understands each other.

After saying that, he turned his gaze and it fell on Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya-sensei, I'm sorry I've let you down. If such a peaceful world ever comes to pass, I hope you can take a good look at it for me."

Jiraiya's expression changed as he sensed something amiss in Nagato's words.

But before he could react, Nagato clapped his hands together, making a peculiar hand seal.

"The Art of Reincarnation and Heavenly Life"

Konan jerked her head around: "Nagato! No! With your current chakra reserves, you'll die!"

"Don't try to persuade me anymore. My mind is made up. The killings I committed in the past cannot be made up for. Now, let me do my last bit of strength to help Naruto and Jiraiya take another step closer to that peaceful world."

Nagato squeezed out the last of his chakra to the limit, even consuming his own life force, and his hair turned white at a visible speed.

"Nagato, what are you doing!" Jiraiya finally couldn't sit still any longer and stood up abruptly.

However, Nagato had already devoted all his energy to the Rinne Rebirth technique and was unable to answer Jiraiya's question because his physical condition was really bad and he needed to exert all his strength to perform it.

"Nagato was using a forbidden technique of the Rinnegan that can revive someone who has recently died..." Konan said sadly.

Because she knew that in Nagato's current state, if he tried to use the Samsara Rebirth Technique, he would definitely die.

"Resurrecting the dead? Could it be that he wants to..." Jiraiya's pupils dilated.

"Yes, he probably wants to bring back all the people who died in this battle."

At that moment, in an open space in Konoha, the fierce-looking King Yama suddenly appeared. He opened his mouth and spat out many souls, which flew down onto the corpses that had already been laid out.

After the souls entered the bodies, the Konoha ninjas or villagers who had died not long ago opened their eyes and sat up, almost scaring the people around them half to death.

"What... what's wrong with me?"

Many people looked bewildered and confused about their surroundings, because they didn't even know they were dead when they died.

Some people, who knew they had died, were suddenly resurrected and burst into tears of joy: "I, I'm alive!"

""

"Lord Hokage! The people who died before have been resurrected for some unknown reason!"

This situation was reported to Tsunade shortly after it occurred.

Tsunade smiled, her gaze fixed on a distant direction: "I know, it was Jiraiya, Naruto, and a friend of our Konoha who defeated the enemy, and persuaded them to sincerely revive our dead."

Although she wasn't there, she learned what had happened through the slug.

"Oh, I see! That's wonderful!"

Although the reporting ninja didn't know how the enemy had resurrected the dead, he knew it was very good news, and a look of joy appeared on his tired face.

Inside the artificial tree space.

Nagato's hair had mostly turned white, his body had become even more emaciated, and his aura had dropped to an extremely low level, as if he could die at any moment.

"Jiraiya-sensei, Naruto, I'm entrusting the rest to you." Nagato smiled slightly.

"Nagato..." Jiraiya's expression was complicated, and a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind.

As Nagato's teacher, he absolutely did not want to see Nagato become like this. Although Nagato rediscovered his original intentions at this last moment and became the person he knew, he could not be happy.

Because his disciple, on whom he had placed great hopes, was about to die.

Thinking of this, he remembered Goku's Senzu Beans and wanted to ask Goku to give Nagato one, but he felt it was really inappropriate. Senzu Beans were extremely precious, and how could he let Goku give them to someone he had no relation to, or even someone who was his enemy not long ago?

But he didn't expect that Wukong would take this action on his own initiative without him saying anything.

"Hey, you're about to die, eat this." Goku strolled up to Nagato and placed a Senzu Bean in front of him.

After giving away the Senzu Bean, he only had one Senzu Bean left, but he didn't care.

He could sense that there were many more presences within Konoha, indicating that Nagato had indeed resurrected the people who had died earlier.

In his eyes, this behavior was an act of sincere repentance, so he was willing to save Nagato's life.

Nagato stared in surprise at what was in Goku's palm.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, his expression changed slightly: "Is this what you fed Jiraiya-sensei that day?"

"Yes, yes, if you eat it, you won't die." Wukong nodded seriously.

Nagato looked at him with a complex expression.

When Goku took out the Senzu Beans, he poured them out of the bag, so he clearly saw that there were only two Senzu Beans left in the bag.

When things were already extremely scarce, Wukong was actually willing to give him half of his possessions, which he found utterly unbelievable.

Is this guy really that stupid? He'd actually give away his life-saving item to an enemy he was fighting not long ago.

After a few seconds of astonishment, he slowly shook his head and said, "Forget it, this kind of thing shouldn't be used on someone like me. Let's save it for someone who needs it more."

"Nagato!!" Konan, who had thought there was hope, became quite anxious after hearing Nagato's answer.

She had already lost Yahiko, so she really couldn't accept losing Nagato as well.

"Nagato, eat it. You should know that you were once the chosen one I had high hopes for. The peace of the ninja world needs your power."

Having come this far, Jiraiya naturally couldn't persuade Goku to take back the Senzu Beans. He looked at Goku gratefully, then spoke earnestly to Nagato.

But Nagato slowly shook his head: "Jiraiya-sensei, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt something suddenly disappear into his mouth. His throat moved instinctively, and he swallowed it.

"Hehe, sorry, I think you're really going to die if you don't eat soon." Wukong said with a grin, scratching his head.

"You one"

Nagato looked at Goku in utter astonishment, only then realizing that Goku had just fed him Senzu Beans.

Just as he was about to say something, he felt an immense surge of power welling up from his stomach and then spreading throughout his body.
