Seeing that none of them showed the slightest panic or surprise, Nagato, hidden in the shadows, imperceptibly frowned.
Then Deva Path Pain spoke stiffly:
"You ignorant and foolish people... God..."
Before Deva Path Pain could finish, Ye Ning forcibly interrupted him:
"I'm saying, Nagato, no matter what, we've met before... Even if you wanted to see me, there was no need to hide yourself like this, was there?"
"Speaking of which... Yahiko still died, huh..."
Nagato, hidden within the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools, was slightly startled, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.
He... knew so much about him?
Realizing that something was off, Nagato's expression shifted slightly. He could not be bothered with reminiscing any longer and controlled Deva Path Pain to take a step forward.
"Feel pain!"
"Ah, sure..."
Ye Ning curled his lip, suddenly finding it rather boring.
It seemed that his words back then still had not changed Nagato at all... He was still constantly going on about pain.
So Ye Ning really wanted to know just what pain Nagato had experienced.
Because of war, his home had been destroyed, his family killed, and then Yahiko had died...
That was it?
That counted as pain?
Just picking a few people around him, their suffering was no less than Nagato's, all right?
Kimimaro had been born as a pawn of his clan, never finding any meaning in his own existence. The only fortunate thing was that he had not died alongside that foolish clan and had later met them.
Haku had originally lived a simple, happy life. Yet because of the villagers' ignorance and stupidity, he had watched his mother die at his father's hands, only for his father to turn the butcher's blade on him as well...
