The golden barrier glows softly above the village of Amegakure, keeping the outside world at bay. Peter stood at the center of it all, his gaze turning serious as he declared, "Alright, it's time to give Madara's eyes back."
Nagato tensed, his heart racing as Peter's words settled over him. His hands instinctively moved to his face, his fingers brushing over his Rinnegan as if trying to reassure himself that they were still there. The weight of what was about to happen—the loss of his eyes, the thing that had defined him for so long—made his stomach churn with uncertainty.
Yahiko and Konan immediately moved closer to Nagato, their concern evident in their eyes. They could see the hesitation in his posture, the way his hands trembled slightly as they hovered near his face.
Yahiko's voice was calm, but filled with concern as he spoke to his friend. "Nagato… you don't have to do this," he said gently, his eyes flickering to Peter and Madara, both of whom stood watching. "I know you made a deal, but if you're not sure, we can figure something out. We'll protect you, no matter what."
Konan nodded in agreement, her hand resting lightly on Nagato's arm. "It's your choice, Nagato. If you don't want to give them the Rinnegan, then maybe we can give him something else?"
Nagato swallowed hard, his thoughts racing. His friends' support meant the world to him, but he couldn't ignore the reality of the situation. Peter had already fulfilled his end of the bargain—he had brought peace to Amegakure in a matter of hours, something they had all thought was impossible. Could he really back out of the deal now, after everything Peter had done?
