Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique

[Hozuki Mangetsu: How come you're everywhere? Where were you when Pain was wreaking Danzo in Konoha, Deva Path Pain?]

[Danzo: Hmph.]

Danzo was too lazy to explain to these guys.

"You believed what Jiraiya- sensei once firmly believed in? I see. Is this your answer?"

"Are you kidding me, making us believe you can bring peace to the world and keep waiting?"

Nagato was amused by Naruto's words.

Now that things have come to this, can we still believe what Jiraiya- sensei said: true peace does not exist!

As long as we live in this cursed world, such a thing cannot exist.

Despite Nagato's fierce resistance, deep down he was unwilling to believe in Jiraiya 'Nagato path.

It's an unwillingness to admit defeat.

But in reality, he had already failed.

"Since that's the case, I will break this curse. If peace truly exists, I will hold onto it tightly!" Naruto would not give up.

"Your words!" Nagato suddenly couldn't speak, because he knew it was a line from Jiraiya's book.

As one of the few people who read Jiraiya's least famous book in its Nagato, how could Nagato not recognize it?

"The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi" is the first book that Jiraiya wrote, hoping to use it to change the world.

Unfortunately, the only people who have actually seen him are probably Minato, Nagato, and Naruto.

"At the end of the book, it tells the story of the disciple who inspired this book, and it is your name, Nagato." Naruto slowly turned the Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi.

"How could this be!" Nagato suddenly remembered the teachings Jiraiya had given him.

Jiraiya had once received a revelation from a sage that his disciple would bring about tremendous changes to the Shinobi World, and at that time, Jiraiya seemed to place his hopes on himself.

Even Yahiko firmly believed that he was the savior of this world.

"Why are you so sure that you will never change, that no matter how much pain comes your way, you will not change? Can you be so absolutely certain?" Perhaps Naruto's current state reminded Nagato of his past self.

"I have my own pain too." Naruto recalled the ridicule of his childhood, the departure of his best friend, the death of his teacher—all of it flashed before his eyes.

Although it's unclear what pain awaits next, if you lose faith in yourself because of this, the story would be entirely different if the protagonist were in a different situation.

Therefore, no matter how painful things are, you have to keep going. That's the Naruto Uzumaki!

At this moment, Nagato fell silent. Then Nagato said, "I am your senior brother, we are from the same sect and share the same reverence for our master. I said before that we should understand each other, although that was originally a joke."

"You're an incredible guy, you remind me of my younger self."

"I can't trust Jiraiya, and I can't trust myself, but I have a feeling that the paths we take will lead to different futures."

"I'll believe you, Naruto Uzumaki."

Perhaps Nagato accepted Naruto and believed that Naruto could bring true peace to this cursed world, or perhaps Nagato felt that he had already failed.

So he wanted to make a final act of redemption, after all, he had once been just as kind.

Nagato struggled to raise his hands.

"The Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique!"

Naruto looked completely bewildered, not knowing what Nagato was up to, but Konan, standing nearby, understood Nagato's intentions.

"Nagato, you!" Konan tried to stop him, but Nagato interrupted her.

"Konan, that's enough. I have a new choice, a choice I once gave up."

"What, what kind of magic is this?" Naruto was still very confused.

"Those who possess the Rinnegan can not only control the six Pains, but legend has it that they can also transcend the world beyond life and death. Nagato's eye power is the ability to control life and death," Konan explained slowly from the side.

However, after Nagato uses this technique in his current state, he will...

Even at this cost, Konan was determined to help this child. At this moment, she turned her gaze to Naruto, the child who had changed Nagato.

[Hozuki Mangetsu: Is this for real? This is way too far-fetched.]

[Shikaku Nara: The ability of the Rinnegan —to transcend the world beyond life and death?]

[Asuma: But this guy killed so many Konoha! Can this Ninjutsu really bring the dead back to life?]

[Tsunade: That's true, even Shizune... It's truly unforgivable.]

It's obvious that most people simply don't believe this kind of Ninjutsu really exists, because it's too outrageous; the number of Ninjutsu that caused the deaths in Konoha this time was in the tens of thousands.

What will Nagato offer as compensation? If apologies were enough, there wouldn't be so many wars.

[Neji: No, the Ninjutsu he mentioned is real!]

At this moment, Neji spoke up, saying that when he returned to Konoha, he personally witnessed many people who had died rise again.

No one would believe this unless they saw it with their own eyes.

[Danzo: The Rinnegan!]

At this moment, Danzo's eyes revealed boundless greed. As for the Sharingan, it had long been forgotten. With something even more powerful, who would care about the Sharingan?

At this moment, an unidentified monster suddenly appeared in the sky above Konoha.

Its shape resembles a giant version of King of Hell of Hell, summoned by the Naraka Path.

King of Hell, stood up, opened his maw, and released the souls of the dead, returning them to their rightful place.

This technique requires the caster's life as the price. The longer the resurrected object has been dead and the more people are resurrected, the more Chakra is consumed. If the resurrected object is an Impure World Reincarnation user, the Impure World Reincarnation state is automatically canceled.

At this time, many people in Konoha had not been dead for a particularly long time, which was enough to allow Nagato to unleash such a powerful Ninjutsu.

[Ōnoki: My God, this is the first time in my life I've encountered such Ninjutsu. It's unbelievable!]

[Grandma Chiyo: Is it somewhat similar to my Ninjutsu?]

While Ninjutsu capable of reviving may exist elsewhere, no one has ever seen Ninjutsu capable of reviving tens of thousands of people at once.

[Kakashi: I remember now, during the previous review, I saw Obito about to use this Ninjutsu.]

At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered that when they were reviewing Minato Namikaze, Obito, who had been defeated, seemed to be about to unleash the same Ninjutsu.

[Mei Terumi: So, does that mean all the dead were resurrected?]

[Nagato: It seems this is my future choice.]

This might have been Nagato's decision after Deva Path was defeated by Naruto, because the path he had chosen had already failed.

This action is, to some extent, an attempt to atone for his sins against Jiraiya- sensei.

As for Konoha, Nagato could only say that he didn't owe Konoha anything; he owed Jiraiya- sensei.
