Chapter 157 Surrender
The blood-stained rice incident, where Yugakure ate the bloody rice that could be said to have caused all this, is internationally recognized.
Therefore, Yuyin's international image is now extremely embarrassed.
And the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth naturally pushed everything to the Kingdom of Rain, Yugakure.
Therefore, Yuyin is regarded as the most immoral, evil, abominable and unforgivable hidden village.
Even residents of the Country of Rain, if they go to the neighboring Country of Grass, Country of Birds, and Country of Rivers, once they hear that you are from the Country of Rain, they will easily suffer hostility and beatings.
The same applies to the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth. The people there who are in turmoil, when they hear that you are from the Kingdom of Rain, will really become furious and kill you with the weapons in their hands!
On the other hand, the Fire Country will send you back politely.
The whole world is an enemy.
Everyone around you has bad intentions towards you.
I still have to fall into a moral low point, I still have to be criticized by everyone, I still don’t have enough to eat, and I have to work hard in exchange for rice. I think it’s sinful to eat such rice... Why do I have to suffer such a situation? ah!
Many people in the Country of Rain think so now. They are really unwilling to accept that they are in this predicament. Being hostile to the surrounding countries, being put into a situation where everyone is criticizing and being reviled by the whole world.
And the only way to solve their predicament is to accept the theory that came from Konoha and was interpreted by them!
We are Hanzo people! We are the successors of the Will of Fire. We have always been lurking. We have inherited Hanzo's thoughts and will. When the time is right, we will act according to Hanzo's will, and even hold high the banner of the Will of Fire!
This is the only way to wash away their sins.
The only way to fit into this world!
Payne, of course, understands this.
He knew that he was from the Hidden Rain Village, the Kingdom of Rain, and the biggest obstacle to integrating into the peaceful world created by Konoha.
He is the enemy of this country.
He is the enemy of peace in Konoha.
How ridiculous.
What's even more ridiculous is that he found that he was gradually identifying with the peace created by Konoha.
How long can this peace last? He didn't know, but what he knew was that the model created by Konoha was definitely much better than the traditional Ninja Village model in the past.
What discourages him is that if he is asked to take over, he has no confidence to operate this model.
Yes, he is powerful.
But now, he has deeply understood that some things cannot be decided by strong power.
"Xonan."
Payne turned his head and looked at Konan, who was standing quietly next to him.
"What's the matter? Nagato." Konan asked with concern.
"…Shou Tsunade."
Having said this, Payne paused and glanced around with his Samsara Eye.
Then he looked at Xiaonan's expectant eyes after hearing his words, and sighed inwardly.
Then he said: "Take a video to prove Tsunade's safety and give it to Konoha."
"Why don't you just send Tsunade back?"
"I can't trust Madara." Payne said: "If we do this, Madara will definitely guess us and want to attack Konoha..."
Speaking of which, Payne hesitated for a long time before saying those two words.
"surrender."
Xiaonan's eyes were frighteningly bright.
Payne turned his head away in embarrassment.
"So, the video we took of Tsunade can be used to explain that we really can't bear the pressure from Konoha, so we made such a statement to Konoha, proving to Konoha that the chips in our hands are still effective. I believe 'Madara' You will understand."
"...Does that mean we can contact Jiraiya-sensei?"
"... Try your best to stay under my watch and don't act alone. We can't arouse Madara's suspicion."
"Well, Nagato, you're right, Madara is too suspicious! I've always felt that way." Konan nodded solemnly.
"No matter what," Nagato said, "Madara and the others must have an agenda. I didn't care before because I wanted to use them to create the peace Yahiko wanted to see. But now, I have planned to surrender to the peace created by Konoha. , but Madara’s appearance seems to be disdainful of the peace created by Konoha. This shows that we are not the same people."
"Nagato, you are right!" Konan's eyes sparkled, and she seemed to have never been so lively.
Seeing Konan come alive like this, Nagato suddenly felt that his choice was not wrong.
Yahiko will feel relieved if he sees it.
"If you think about it carefully, the fact that Tsunade was caught is a bit suspicious. Although it was Kakuzu's own initiative, Zetsu suddenly intervened at that time. It's hard to say that Madara wasn't behind it."
"Then why did you..."
Nagato tilted his head.
"I call myself a god and feel that it doesn't matter. I can take on all challenges with my strength. I even brazenly want to give Konoha a trial..."
When he said this, Nagato felt a little embarrassed.
During this period of time, after having to accept the world's human conditions, I look back at myself at that time. I don't know why, but I always feel like I can't witness it.
If this body hadn't been a disposed corpse, he would probably have gotten hot on his face.
"But it turns out that rather than me testing Konoha, it's better to say Konoha is testing me. I was too immature before, like a child who hasn't grown up."
When Nagato said this, he felt a little sad.
Thinking about this period of time, I can say that I have been struggling with daily necessities.
Therefore, I was forced to taste what is called human fireworks.
Under the influence of the human fireworks of the entire Rain Kingdom, worrying about the belly of the entire Rain Kingdom, and caring about the survival of the entire Rain Kingdom family, he finally freed himself from the pressure of the "human reality" from the gods above. , had to fall into the mortal world and became a mortal troubled by various troubles and karma.
Yes, he has admitted that he is just a mortal.
Except for having a pair of invincible reincarnation eyes, he is no different from ordinary mortals.
"Nagato, it's all over."
Konan felt relieved.
"Nothing happened to Tsunade, and we did not let the Kingdom of Rain and Konoha have a war. Our relationship with Konoha is not irreparable. In addition, Mr. Jiraiya, he will definitely speak for us. , when the time comes, we can let go of all this and live a good life.”
"No, we can't let go of all this easily yet."
"Nagato?"
Payne raised his hand and looked at his palm.
"Payne needs to have closure."
"The end?"
"Pen will bear all the sins, all the sins of the Kingdom of Rain, for bringing pain to the world. Then, I have to atone for this, Xiaonan."
Payne said solemnly: "I want to grow rice to fill more people's stomachs. This is the only way to atone for my sins. Use rice to feed more people."
