Following the conclusion of Nagato's narrative, Naruto declares that while he cannot forgive the leader of the Akatsuki, he will not abandon the legacy of their shared teacher. He commits to pursuing peace regardless of the personal suffering involved. Reflecting on Naruto's determination, Nagato recalls the protagonist of Jiraiya's tale, the inspiration behind Naruto's name. This memory prompts Nagato to place his trust in Naruto. Consequently, he executes a forbidden technique to resurrect everyone he killed in the Hidden Leaf Village. Konan contemplates the severe implications of this action as the revival process unfolds, marking a pivotal moment in the aftermath of the conflict.
