Nagato's Bewilderment

As Nagato walked out of the hospital, his expression grew complicated, anger mingling with heaviness and thoughtfulness.

Just moments ago, he had learned from Kizaru that Obito Uchiha—the man who called himself Madara Uchiha and had indirectly caused Yahiko's death—was, like him, merely a pitiful pawn whose life had been controlled by Madara Uchiha.

After hearing Obito Uchiha's story, Nagato found himself sympathizing with the man who had indirectly caused Yahiko's death.

Madara Uchiha had deceived him, and he had watched the girl he loved most die at the hands of a close teammate. Nagato understood that kind of grief all too well.

So when Kizaru suggested taking him to the next destination to see some other people, Nagato mechanically agreed to follow.

At that moment, one question consumed Nagato: who should he take revenge on?

Konoha? But the war back then had been started by Hanzo of Amegakure. His parents had been killed by Konoha Ninja because of Madara Uchiha's scheme.

Obito Uchiha? That guy was just another pawn, deceived and controlled by Madara Uchiha, just like him.

Madara Uchiha? That bastard was already dead!

Three years ago, Nagato had graduated with excellent grades
