[Side text: Meetings, hopes, dreams... Even amongst these faint lights, the pain never stopped raining down.]

2
[Insert text: A tragedy in the rain engulfs Nagato!!]
Flashback!Nagato: Unghh... // ! // Wha...?! // What happened? // Father... Mother?!

3
Flashback!Nagato: ......... // AAAAHHHHHHH!!!
Nagato: My father and mother... / ...perished in a war that Konoha started. // I will never forget the pain I felt that day... / It hurts me still, even now.

4
Nagato: This pain turned to hatred, and caused my power to bloom. // Later on, I would come to realise... // ...that it was I who had killed those two Konoha shinobi.
Flashback!Nagato: Farewell... / Father... Mother...

5
Nagato: Food supplies grew low, and I left home on my own.
Flashback!Nagato: This is the last of it... // (I'm too hungry... my legs won't...)

6
Flashback!Nagato: ?! // You can follow me all you like, I don't have any food for you.
Flashback!Dog: *whimper*~
Flashback!Nagato: I don't even have anything for myself. // Excuse me...... / Would you happen to have any food... anything at all to share with me? / I...... // I haven't eaten anything for a long time now...!

７
Flashback!Person: I'm sorry, boy... I don't have anything to give you... // These times are hard on us all. We barely have enough for ourselves... // You'll just have to try somewhere else.
Flashback!Nagato: (...I've already tried everywhere else...)
Flashback!Dog: Ruff! Ruff!
Flashback!Nagato: Unghh... // (It's no good...) // *pant* // *pant* // (Am I just going to die like this...?) // !

8
Flashback!Konan: Here... have this...
Flashback!Nagato: ...... // Are you sure?
Flashback!Konan: Uh-huh...

9
Flashback!Dog: *pant* // *pant*
Flashback!Nagato: ! // ......... // Here...

10
Flashback!Yahiko: Konan... who the hell are they?
Flashback!Konan: They were starving to death...
Flashback!Yahiko: ......... // You even picked up a freaking dog...? Ugh... // Name?!

11
Flashback!Nagato: ...Chibi.
Flashback!Yahiko: That's one weird name you've got...
Flashback!Nagato: No, that's the dog's...
Nagato: That was when I first met Konan, the woman you see here now, / and a boy by the name of Yahiko. // Both had been orphaned in the war, but they were doing everything they could to stay alive. / I became a member of their group.
Flashback!Nagato: Could you spare us some food, sir?
Flashback!Konan: Even just a little...
Flashback!Fishmonger: Out of my sight!
Nagato: We often resorted to stealing. // In our small, ruined country, there were no institutions to support orphans like us. / We had nobody to turn to... it was the only way we had of staying alive. // But even then, Yahiko never cast aside his hope.

12
Flashback!Yahiko: Nagato... do you have any dreams?
Flashback!Nagato: Dreams...?
Flashback!Yahiko: I don't plan on meeting my end in a place like this, you know. // I have bigger dreams than that!
Flashback!Nagato: ?
Flashback!Yahiko: I'm going to take over the world!!
Flashback!Nagato: Take over... the world...?
Flashback!Yahiko: That's right!! / If I reach the very top, I'll never have to live a life like this again, right?!

13
Flashback!Yahiko: Besides, if I were to rot away like this... / How would the mother and father that gave birth to me ever be able to rest in peace?! // Once I reach the top, I'll be able to do anything I like!
Flashback!Nagato: I guess you'd be just like a God, huh... // D'you think you could even get rid of these wars?
Flashback!Kids: Guahh!

14
Flashback!Yahiko: You okay?
Flashback!Nagato: Y... Yeah... // Ngh...
Flashback!Konan: ! // Chibi...!!
Flashback!Yahiko: Ugh... what is all this?!

15
Flashback!Yahiko: Ugh! / There are damn shinobi doing battle right nearby...! // And it's Hanzou and a bunch of Konoha shinobi, of all people...!
Flashback!Nagato: Yahiko... what do we do?! Chibi isn't breathing!!
Flashback!Yahiko: !

16
Flashback!Yahiko: Chibi can wait! / We need to get the hell out of here!
Nagato: The ones fighting there were Jiraiya-sensei and his team... / The three who would later become known as the Sannin. // Their opponent was the head of the Village of Rain, Hanzou... // It was a truly fierce battle. // And then......
Flashback!Nagato: Chibi...

17
Flashback!Yahiko: Shit!! Shit!! Shit!! // What the hell is this?!! // If this screwed-up world is filled with nothing but fighting... / ...then I'll just have to become its God!!
Nagato: It was then... // ...that Yahiko's dream became my own.
