Brother, you are my jade - Asma of Hokage

As A Yi wished, Asma recovered.

In the heavy and desolate atmosphere, Asma gently put down A Yi's gradually icy body, and drew out the pair of chakra knives that he hadn't used for a long time.

"Master Tsunade..." Asma said with his back to Tsunade, "The enemy has only retreated temporarily, and has not been defeated, right?"

"That's right...but Asma, you..."

"I...it's fine..." Asma paused, took a deep breath, and continued: "I'm cured now, can I participate in this battle as a ninja again?"

"...Asma, you don't have to force yourself like this."

"No!" Asma turned around and said, "How can I let the enemy destroy the Konoha that Ayi sacrificed his life to protect! I must protect 'Jade' myself!"

Only then did Tsunade see that Asma's eyes couldn't stop the tears flowing, and his collar was already soaked by these two hot tears.However, no matter how many tears there were, they could not hide Asma's steel-like eyes.

Seeing Asma's eyes, Tsunade also made up his mind: "...Okay, I understand."

Asma, who returned to the ranks of the ninja, together with Konoha, found the body of the Six Paths of Payne in a huge tree trunk not far from Konoha - Uzumaki Nagato, and the always waiting by the side Konan.

Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko are orphans of Urenin Village, who were once rescued and taught by Jiraiya, and the small country where Urenin Village is located is located among several big countries, and they are often forced to be involved in the struggles between big countries. .Later, headed by the three of them, "Akatsuki" was established with the determination to protect the motherland without relying on force.But things backfired. The leader of Hara Urenin Village, Sanshoyu Hanzo, was afraid that "Akatsuki" would become stronger and threaten his status, so he colluded with Konoha's Danzo to kill the three of them.In the end, Yahiko sacrificed, and Nagato and Konan also had great doubts about their previous ideas, and finally went astray.

Because A Yi prevented Tendo Payne from destroying Konoha, and Jiraiya and other important combat forces returned to Konoha in time, Konoha successfully defeated Nagato while fully retaining its combat power.

"Why don't you kill me..." said Nagato, who had been defeated by many Konoha ninjas and was lying on the ground waiting for Asma to give him the final blow.

The tip of the wind blade of the chakra knife in Asma's hand was in front of Nagato's heart: "... I don't know, it's just... there is a voice in my heart, telling me not to do it."

"Nagato..." Xiaonan, who was injured and lying on the side, got up with support, walked to Nagato and said to Asma, "We don't need your pity. Since we have failed so far, life and death are up to you."

"No, I'm not pitying you." Asma withdrew her chakra blade and continued, "I only know that even if you kill you, Ayi...he will never come back." Asma's face changed He lowered his head in a dignified manner, "As you said just now, revenge for the deceased relatives and friends will only lead to greater hatred, and now, I am not willing to do that either. Because that is not the path Ah Yi follows——A Yi He has always loved his hometown, Konoha, even though time is running out, he still guards this village with a firm will - even if you deny everything in this world and want to use tailed beast weapons to create a false Peace will not shake A Yi's will to protect 'Yu' in the slightest—his will is so strong, so you will be defeated by him; Here——I want to inherit Ayi’s will! That’s all.”

"That's right," Jiraiya added, "This time, if it wasn't for A Yi, Konoha might have been destroyed by you, but A Yi can beat everyone in such a weak situation." Your eyes of reincarnation—you will lose, not because you lost to him in strength, but because you lost to him in will!"

"!!" These few words made Nagato's heart turbulent.

"At the beginning, Sanshoyu Hanzo murdered Akatsuki because he was bewitched by others. The tragedy you have encountered is not so much because of 'people's incomprehension', but rather because of 'people's hearts are not firm enough'——Hanzo Original He is a great ninja who once gave Tsunade, Dashemaru, and me the title of "Three Ninjas", but in the end he gave up his original will because he lost to the fear in his heart, and finally killed Yahiko... And the war in history I am afraid that most of the tragedies and tragedies are caused by "people lack the will to maintain peace, and this due will is overshadowed by selfish desires." "

"Are you saying... that we... are on the wrong path just like Hanzo...?"

"Exactly. The path you are taking now is just escaping here because you failed to carry out your original will - this is exactly the same as Hanzo's experience. Then, when you deny Hanzo, it is also equivalent to denying yourself !—You who should also be denied, do you really think that the so-called peace can be created with tailed beast weapons?!"

"!!"

"If, after Yahiko's death, you are able to continue your own will, not to be bewitched, and to be firm as before, even if the road is difficult, you will definitely not take this same road."

"..."

"A Yi is actually an ordinary person, and he also has his own troubles." Zilai also looked at Asma, and continued, "He also worried about his relationship problems for a long time..."

Hearing this, Asma also looked at Jiraiya, and he felt a little disappointed in the corners of his eyes.

"But such an ordinary Ah Yi also has his own unshakable and firm side! Therefore, I am willing to believe in Ah Yi, and believe in all people like Ah Yi! Even if some of them have passed away, their will will survive. Continue to pass it on in our hands!"

"Master Jiraiya." Asma understood that Jiraiya's words were not only addressed to Nagato, but also to him.

"...Mr. Jiraiya...everyone..." Nagato, who had been silent for a long time, turned to look at Xiaonan who was beside him, and said, "Xiaonan...it seems that I was really wrong..."

"Nagato..."

"I'm sorry...because of me, I got you involved."

"Nagato, what are you talking about! The three of us, aren't we always together?"

"...Thank you, Xiaonan. I have been taken care of all this time." Nagato said, slowly raising his hands.

Nagato's words surprised Xiao Nan: "Nagato, what are you going to do?!"

"I'm sorry, everyone. I have caused so much trouble for everyone..."

"Nagato! No, if you do that now, you will..."

"Konan, aren't the ninjas like Sarutobi and Konoha who are taller and more determined than people like me more important?"

"But…"

"That's it, Xiaonan, I will trouble you for the future." Nagato said, and sealed the seal.

"Nagato, what do you want...?" Jiraiya and Konoha's ninjas still don't understand Nagato's plan.

"He intends to use the "Heretic: The Natural Art of Reincarnation" of the eyes of reincarnation. Xiao Nan explained, "This is a technique that transcends life and death."Nagato will use his pupil power to summon the seventh Payne "outsider" besides the six Paynes, and use this to resurrect the dead. "

"It's not just Tsubasa Sarutobi, but everyone who was killed by me after I came to Konoha should be saved. We have all experienced the pain of losing an important companion. This can be regarded as my compensation for everyone." Nagato gathered all his strengths Chakra continued to say to Asma, "Asma Sarutobi, I hope you and Tsubasa Sarutobi can pass on your will forever! I will continue to believe in you in this world!"

"Nagato, you..." Asma hesitated to speak.

Xiaonan turned around and said in a low voice: "This technique consumes a huge amount of chakra. If Nagato uses this technique now, I'm afraid it will..."

"Heretics: The Innate Art of Reincarnation"! ! "

Nagato left, just like A Yi not long ago.

"Nagato..." Asma looked at the enemy not long ago, admiring and shocked, and at the same time, there was an uncontrollable complex emotion in her heart - lost and found.

"Asuma Sarutobi," Xiaonan said, wrapping Nagato's body well with a paper escape, "Tazuto Sarutobi and the others should be fine...so, please hurry over there."

Asma bowed deeply to them with full respect: "...Thank you very much!" Then she turned and ran towards Konoha.

"Xiao Nan, what are your future plans?" Ji Lai, who stayed where he was, also asked with concern.

"We plan to go back to our hometown and bury Nagato. There is also this Tiandao Payne, which is made of Yahiko's body, and it is also our important thing. I must take them back. There are also some The aftermath needs to be dealt with.When we are settled, if you need our help, just ask us for help.So goodbye, Mr. Jiraiya. "

"Yeah. Xiaonan, Nagato and Yahiko, you must take care of yourself."

Asma hurried back in the direction of the village, unwilling to wait for a moment.

"What happened to that... just now?" Everyone in Konoha didn't understand what happened—just now, a huge strange humanoid creature appeared in the village, and many lights flew out from his mouth. The ball flew into the body of the person who died in the battle with Payne and others not long ago, and then accompanied by a ray of light, all the people who had died were resurrected! —what a surprise and joy for someone who has just lost a loved one.

"Ayi! Ayi!——" Asma, who had rushed back to the village, couldn't wait to call Ayi's name. When he finally returned to the place where Ayi's body was temporarily placed, he saw: Ayi standing , with his back to him, was looking at the clear sky.

Asma resisted the eyes that were about to burst: "Ayi, I'm back."

Hearing the very familiar voice of his elder brother, Ah Yi turned around slowly——

Somewhat different from A Yi in the past, he has taken off the bandages wrapped around his eyes for many years, and his exposed black pupils are clear and transparent, and he is gently staring at Asma in front of him.

"A wing?"

The corners of Ah Yi's eyes glowed white, and he said with a smile, "Brother Asma...you really are so handsome."

"!! Ah Wing! You... don't your eyes..."

"Brother Asma!" A Yi could no longer contain his emotions, and rushed towards Asma.

Asma stepped forward excitedly to catch Ayi, and the two embraced tightly and shed tears heartily, without stopping for a long time.

After a while, Ah Yi let go of Asma a little and asked, "Brother Asma, what is going on? Why am I still alive?"

"Well, the thing is like this..." Asma explained to Ayi what happened just now, "...That's it, Nagato sacrificed himself and saved you and the people in the village."

"That's it..." A Yi looked into the distance, "Nagato, thank you very much..."

"Speaking of which, Ah Yi, can you really see with your eyes?"

Ah Yi nodded and said, "I don't understand why, anyway, I can really see it. I saw the handsome brother Asma, and I saw everything around me—all clearly!"

"Really? Is it true? That's great...it's really great!" The two were overwhelmed with surprise, and both smiled happily.

"However, I tried Sharingan just now and found that I can no longer open Sharingan. No matter whether I close my eyes or open my eyes, I can't use the pupil power of Sharingan to see everything around me like before. ——But this is not all important, I can see the world with my own eyes now, and I don't need the pupil power of Sharingan anymore!"

"Ayi," Asma hugged Ayi into her arms again, "You have been giving so much in silence all this time, so take a good rest now."

"Well, I understand, Brother Asma." This time, A Yi's answer was not as perfunctory as in the past, but a genuine trust, "From now on, we will move forward side by side!"
