Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

In the desolate valley, the rain pattered softly, and the chill was biting.

The entire valley was already surrounded by the elites of Rain Village and the roots of Konoha.

Countless kunai, ninjutsu, and icy gazes were fixed on the three people in the center of the valley.

Hanzo stood on a high cliff, his gas mask soaked by the rain. His voice was hoarse, but every word was piercing.

"Yahiko, your Akatsuki organization is growing stronger and stronger, and has already disrupted the village's order. There is only one solution in today's negotiations."

He raised his hand, and countless knife tips instantly approached Xiao Nan's bound neck.

The girl's arms were sealed with chakra, she was soaking wet, and she collapsed to the ground in a sorry state. Her slender neck was covered with sharp blades, and the slightest movement would separate her from her head.

"Use your life to save Xiao Nan's life."

"If you die, I will let her go and spare the others."

"Otherwise, today, everyone will be buried with us."

The cruel conditions were laid bare before us.

Danzo hid in the shadows, watching with a cold gaze this farce where reality shattered ideals.

What he wanted was to completely extinguish the light of peace that was Yu Yin.

Only when other villages are in chaos can Konoha have a chance to catch its breath.

Only if other villages are weak will they not pose a threat to Konoha.

Dead silence.

An eerie silence.

Nagato trembled all over, his Rinnegan turned red, and his hands clenched into fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh.

He looked at the besieged Konan, and then at Yahiko in front of him with a determined expression, and his heart was filled with despair.

His hands trembled uncontrollably, and his grip on the kunai was almost out of control.

Because Hanzo's conditions were even more vicious, Nagato had to kill Yahiko himself.

"Nagato".

Even when trapped in a deadly situation, there was no hatred in his eyes, only his obsession with peace and his final tenderness.

"Don't cry."

"Our ideals have never been wrong."

Throughout his life, having come from being a war orphan, he never sought power or strength.

He simply wanted to prevent the rain in the Land of Rain from being stained with blood.

I just want to prevent those who are suffering from being displaced.

But in chaotic times, one is not worthy of having ideals.

Yahiko looked at Konan, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and then at Nagato, who was on the verge of collapse, and slowly smiled.

"Please help me one last time, Nagato."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward.

His body suddenly lunged towards the trembling kunai in Nagato's hand!

Pfft—!

The cold metal pierced through his chest in an instant.

Warm blood gushed out, instantly staining Yahiko's thin clothes red, flowing down the wound and spreading wildly with the cold rain.

"Yahiko!!"

Xiao Nan's heart-wrenching cries echoed through the rainy night.

"Well……"

Yahiko looked down at the kunai piercing his chest, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His body trembled violently, but he still held on to his last breath, slightly raising his head to look at the two dazed people.

He used his last strength to murmur softly.

"Nagato... Konan..."

"Live on..."

"Go see that peaceful world for me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yahiko's body went limp, and he collapsed heavily into the cold, stagnant water.

Blood and rainwater mingled completely.

The young man pursued peace his whole life, yet he died amidst the sordid power struggles and schemes, in the chaotic darkness of the world he had dedicated his life to protecting.

The valley fell silent once more.

Immediately, a furious rage capable of destroying the heavens and the earth exploded from Nagato's body!

His eyes were bloodshot, the power of his Rinnegan went completely berserk, and his chakra raged wildly around him.

A close friend dies tragically, and ideals crumble.

All the light in the world went out at that moment.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Nagato's heart-wrenching roar echoed through the valley!

Deep underground, a colossal demonic golem is about to awaken, and its dark pressure is about to sweep across the entire Land of Rain!

The old dawn is dead.

From that time on, there were no more children in the world who sought peace.

All that remains is a vengeful demon.

At that moment when fate was completely irreversible.

laugh--!!

Space suddenly tore open!

A huge crack suddenly appeared in the rain!
