Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

Xiao Nan couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart.

"Jiraiya-sensei, this isn't your fault..."

Jiraiya interrupted her: "Back then, I took in you three children on the battlefield. I taught you how to survive in chaotic times, and I thought I taught you the principles of being a good person, but unfortunately, there are still many things I didn't teach you..."

"I didn't teach you about the deceit, chaos, and filth of this world, so you were left with empty dreams, unguarded against the schemes and plots of those evil people..."

"I didn't teach you how to face pain and suffering, which is why you fell into collapse and darkness after losing Yahiko, leading to all the changes that followed..."

"I didn't teach you that war and peace in this ninja world are never things that can be achieved overnight, which is why you developed an extreme and distorted mentality, and tried to treat the whole world with this kind of thinking and methods..."

“These are all oversights on my part as the master.”

"It's my incompetence..."

Nagato's eyes widened in surprise.

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

Naruto was also moved.

But he did not believe that this was the fault of the lustful immortal.

The things the lustful immortal talked about could not be taught by a master.

Only through personal experience and trials can one truly understand.

Nagato remained silent for a long time.

"Whether it's right or wrong, it's my own choice and has nothing to do with Jiraiya-sensei."

"At this point, whether I was right or wrong is meaningless..."

"Because I can't go on anymore."

He glanced at Naruto.

"Jiraiya-sensei, to be defeated by you and your own junior brother, perhaps this is fate..."

“Naruto Uzumaki, no matter how you see me or how much you hate me, I am still your senior brother.”

"Since my path is blocked, I'll entrust my future to you, my junior brother..."

"Perhaps you can fulfill the dreams of Jiraiya-sensei and Yahiko..."

"Perhaps you are the one who can bring peace to the ninja world."

Naruto shook his head: "I haven't thought that much about it."

"Right now, all I want to do is realize my dreams and protect the people who are most important to me."

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Nagato's desolate face.

"is it?"

"That's what I thought back then too, but as I thought about it more and more, I might have forgotten my original intention..."

"Naruto, you're right. Maybe it's really that simple. It's us who are wrong for overthinking it."

"Then continue on your own path..."

A smile also appeared in Jiraiya's eyes.

“Nagato, the fact that you can say that means you haven’t completely lost the person you used to be…”

"Is it?"

"Was that me from the past?"

"Perhaps he will continue to live on in Naruto's body..."

He suddenly coughed violently, gushing out mouthfuls of blood.

"Nagato, stop talking, I'll heal you..."

Xiao Nan rushed over.

Nagato stopped her again.

"Minami, our journey has come to an end. I... I need to go and apologize to Yahiko..."

"Nagato..."

Xiao Nan gripped his thin, withered hand tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"Speaking of which, don't you think Naruto and Yahiko are quite similar?"

Konan glanced at Naruto, then nodded with tears in her eyes.

Nagato revealed a final, faint smile.

"Then I entrust everything to you..."

"Naruto……"

"Oh, right, maybe I can do one last thing..."

Nagato gently clasped his hands together and released his final ninjutsu.

"Reincarnation and rebirth."

Then, his tired eyes finally closed completely.

"Nagato!"

Konan's tears flowed down her cheeks, like the endless rain in Amegakure.

Pain, who was standing to the side, could no longer hold on after losing the control of Nagato's Rinnegan, and his body also collapsed, falling down beside Nagato...

In that instant, the image of those three children reappeared in Jiraiya's eyes...

Chapter 191 Konoha Hero Naruto Uzumaki! The End of Itachi Uchiha! Requesting monthly votes!!!

Nagato is dead.

Yahiko's body lay beside him.

Xiao Nan's tears flowed silently.

Jiraiya and Naruto remained silent, watching the scenes unfold.

Konan wiped away her tears, reached out and released pieces of origami, which fluttered away like butterflies among flowers, enveloping the bodies of Yahiko and Nagato, and then soaring into the air.

"Jiraiya-sensei, Naruto..."

"I'm going to take them both back to Amegakure."

"Don't worry, I will no longer concern myself with the Akatsuki..."

"The technique Nagato used last was called Rinne Rebirth, an ultimate forbidden technique that uses the life of the Rinnegan user to resurrect the dead."

"Those who died in this battle will come back to life. This is Nagato's final gift before his death..."

Naruto felt a pang in his heart and couldn't help but sigh.

If we had realized this sooner, none of this would have happened.

Konan made two origami flowers and gave one to Jiraiya and the other to Naruto.

"Goodbye, Jiraiya-sensei..."

"Naruto, Nagato entrusted his future to you, so I believe in you just like he did."

"I hope that you can lead this ninja world to a better future, carrying the hopes of Jiraiya-sensei, Yahiko, Nagato, and myself."

Naruto suddenly felt a little heavy-hearted.

"Ah, although I don't know what to do, I will try my best."

Xiao Nan smiled slightly, then sank back into sadness.

"That's good."

"I'm sorry, Jiraiya-sensei..."

Konan sprouted wings again and used origami techniques to lift Yahiko and Nagato's corpses into the air. The three of them gradually moved away from Konoha Village and flew back to their hometown.

Jiraiya and Naruto watched the three figures depart in silence.

Naruto finally let out a long sigh when the figure disappeared completely.

"You lecherous immortal, why did you have to become like this?"

Although Naruto's current strength is arguably the strongest in the ninja world.

But there are still many things he hasn't experienced, and he hasn't had many profound thoughts about them.

Jiraiya said, "I don't know."

"Naruto, the more you know, the more you realize you don't know..."

"The more you think, the easier it is to fall into confusion."

"That's what Nagato meant before he died."

"So he hopes you will just stay true to yourself and not fall into the same kind of obsession and extremism as him."

Naruto hesitated for a moment: "Is it okay if I'm like this now?"

Jiraiya smiled and patted Naruto's head.

"If everyone were like you, the world would have achieved peace long ago..."

Naruto tilted his head and said, "Really?"

"of course."

"It's just a pity that not everyone is like you, Naruto..."

Fukasaku and Shima exchanged a glance: "Jiraiya, Naruto, although it wasn't perfect, things were resolved smoothly enough. We should head back to Mount Myōboku now."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, immortals."

Naruto waved his hand: "Grandpa Sage, Granny Shima, my training is not finished yet. I may have to go to Mount Myōboku to continue my training in the future. I will have to ask you two for help then!"

Fukasaku smiled slightly: "Little Naruto, your training has long surpassed ours. Even if you're not on Mount Myōboku, you can continue your training anywhere."

Grandma Shima said, "However, Naruto is welcome to come anytime he wants to eat my cooking!"

"Didn't you say you loved to eat?"

Naruto: "Ah—that's what I mean—"

Fukasaku and Shima smiled, then turned into two wisps of smoke and disappeared.

Jiraiya couldn't help but exclaim, "Grandma Shima's cooking is delicious!"

"Naruto, are you serious?!"

Naruto: "...Sometimes when I've eaten too much, I really do think that way!"

"Then you have indeed surpassed me, your master..."

"..."

……

The master and his apprentice returned to Konoha Village.

Tsunade and the others were already waiting at the village entrance.

Seeing the two return safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and a thunderous cheer erupted as they welcomed the heroes who had saved the village.

Naruto was both surprised and delighted: "Everyone..."

Tsunade laughed and said, "Jiraiya, Naruto, well done!"

"For some reason, beams of green light came from here, and the dead ninjas and villagers came back to life. Was this your doing?"

Jiraiya revealed the truth.

Tsunade frowned slightly: "Is that so?"

"I never expected that guy would make such a choice at the end..."

"But no matter what, you two, master and apprentice, are heroes who saved the village."
