Kakashi's lips trembled slightly, and he made an unclear mouth shape, which fell into the vision of the masked man.
At that moment, the masked man seemed to have received a huge impact, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
But after a wave of spatial fluctuations, they still disappeared.
Inside the big tree, Kakashi and Jiraiya were the only ones left.
Nagato's face is full of blood, his expression is languid, and he has even fallen unconscious.
With his severely weakened body, coupled with the loss of the Rinnegan, Nagato can lose his life at any moment.
Jiraiya glanced around and finally confirmed that Orochimaru and the unidentified mask man had disappeared together.
"What is going on? Who is that masked man? Is it also Akatsuki's member?"
The masked man is wearing Akatsuki's, so it is no wonder that Jiraiya thinks so.
Kakashi nodded and said: "Yeah, he should be so. I have seen him with Deidara before. It seems that he is called Tobi."
"No, he calls himself Uchiha Madara." Konan said softly.
"What!" Jiraiya said in shock.
Konan recalled the past memory and then said softly.
"At first, not long after the establishment of the Akatsuki, this person came to our door to cooperate with us. But he was rejected by Yahiko. Because Yahiko felt that he had ulterior motives. Later, after Yahiko died, this guy came again, and he said something strange to Nagato. If I'm not wrong, Nagato started to take this path after the talk with that masked man."
Jiraiya's expression turned solemn and then said: "From what you said, Nagato may have been bewitched by this person."
Konan nodded and said: "Yeah, because of Yahiko's death, Nagato couldn't listen to my persuasion at all."
"So you went down on the wrong path with him?" Kakashi said while chuckling lightly.
As Kakashi said that, he looked at the already unconscious Nagato.
A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
When Konan saw this, she quickly stood in front of Nagato.
"What do you want to do?"
"I'm thinking about how to deal with this guy who dared to invade Konoha." Kakashi whispered.
Jiraiya patted Kakashi's shoulder with his right hand, and said in a low voice: "Kakashi, maybe you have hatred for Nagato, but now, Nagato has repented. Moreover, he also lost the Rinnegan. Now that he became , even being a Shinobi is almost impossible. He has been punished, so please let him go."
Jiraiya's voice was a little soft, probably because he felt that this request was a bit excessive.
Hearing this, Kakashi looked at Jiraiya. He knew that so many things have happened these days, which is a bit heavy for this man who is already over fifty years old.
He then looked at the unconscious Nagato and the now wary Konan.
Kakashi knows that if he wanted to kill Nagato, he would be obstructed by Konan and Jiraiya.
And even if he kills Nagato, what about Konan?
Jiraiya will never let Kakashi hurt Konan.
But if he doesn't kill her, Konan will definitely try to avenge Nagato.
At that time, he would be caught in an endless loop of revenge.
The atmosphere turned rather strange at this moment.
Both Jiraiya and Konan looked at Kakashi, waiting for his reply.
After a long time, Kakashi sighed and said: "Pain is dead, so let's stop it here. Jiraiya-sama, these two will be handed over to you. I am leaving first."
After Kakashi finished speaking, he left the big tree.
For Nagato, Kakashi has hate, regret, and sympathy.
Looking at him, he thought of another person.
The same person who was entrapped by Uchiha Madara's manipulation right now is using someone else as his pawn.
Right now, Nagato has been abandoned, and it will make him a bit narrow-minded to care about such people.
Pain is completely destroyed, and Kakashi has also avenged Nanairo's death.
As for Nagato's death, it doesn't seem to be that important.
After seeing Kakashi leave, Konan breathed a sigh of relief.
If Kakashi really wanted to kill Nagato, even if Jiraiya would support her, Konan is still not sure that she can protect Nagato.
Jiraiya also watched Kakashi leave gratefully.
He knew that Kakashi made a compromise because of him.
He then turned around and looked at Nagato who was already unconscious.
This student of him with a tortuous fate finally returned.
Konan bowed deeply towards Jiraiya, making Jiraiya confused.
"Konan, what are you..."
"Jiraiya-sensei, this is to apologize for the rudeness before. Nagato and I have done too many wrong things, but the biggest mistake we have done is that we almost killed you." Konan's tone was sincere and full of regret. Her face is also full of guilt.
"Hahaha, Konan, I'm not such a stingy person. It's great to see you come back after getting lost." Jiraiya said with a smile.
Seeing Jiraiya who was laughing heartily in front of her, a smile couldn't help but formed on the corner of Konan's mouth.
'This scene is really nostalgic.'
'This silly looking old man still looks like back then.'
'His character has not changed at all.'
It is a pity that the three of them have changed beyond recognition.
'Yahiko, Nagato and I are finally back.' Konan muttered in his heart.
The expressionless face also began to slowly show refreshing expression.
At this time, she feels that it is their new beginning.
After Kakashi left the big tree, he returned to Konoha.
At this time, Konoha's villagers had already come out of the shelter.
Tsunade explained what happened to the villagers.
Looking at some of the ruins in the village, as well as the exaggerated scene outside the village, everyone understands that if they were still in the village during this battle, there would be countless casualties among them.
At this moment, they were full of respect for Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi who participated in this battle.
There is no much to say about Kakashi, as he originally is the Konoha Hero, as well as the best candidate to become the next Hokage.
These praises are just icing on the cake for him.
But for Naruto and Sasuke, they have also become Heroes in the eyes of everyone.
In the previous battles, although most of the people entered the shelter, there are also many people watching the battle from afar.
The scene of these two battling against Pain was naturally seen by many people.
The amazing strength of the two played an important role in defeating Pain.
Therefore, the two naturally became Konoha Heroes.
At this time, the two were surrounded by the villagers and enjoyed the treatment of Hero.
Kakashi silently looked at this scene from the distance and smiled, but did not bother to go there.
Tsunade appeared from behind Kakashi at this time, and said with a smile: "Why don't you participate too?"
Kakashi shook his head and said: "No need, I am not used to those kinds of things. On the contrary, this is the first time for those two to get this kind of treatment. It is a wonderful experience, so let them feel it. For Naruto, this thing can also be considered as getting rid of the impact from the Kyūbi's attack. And Sasuke can also strengthen his sense of belonging to the village a bit."
Hearing this, Tsunade said helplessly: "You are still the same."
Kakashi just chuckled.
The young eagle finally learned to fly, but their journey is still far from the end.
