"No! Nagato is in danger!"
Konan's expression changed.
"You... sent someone else to ambush Nagato?! How despicable!"
Konan could not help gnashing her teeth.
Konan looked at Yahiko, confusion in her eyes.
Yahiko shook his head.
"You're the deputy commander. How could I possibly do anything without telling you?"
"Besides, why split our forces in two to deal with such a small village?"
Yahiko chuckled.
"Let's go see my old partner from this world."
"I wonder what kind of expression Nagato will have when he learns about his situation."
Yahiko smiled gently.
"All right, we know everything we need to know. Let her go."
Konan glanced at Yahiko, then slowly released the Paper Release binding Konan.
The moment she broke free, she tried to rush toward where Nagato was.
"What's the hurry? Let's go together."
The paper wings Konan had just flapped suddenly lost their strength.
Only then did she realize that the Chakra in her body was gone!
The ninja who had read her memories beside her began to snicker.
"Reading memories obviously consumes a lot of Chakra. There's no way I'd use my own..."
Konan gnashed her teeth.
"Let's go. We'll take a look as well. As a variant of my brother, and since your circumstances are so tragic, I won't simply stand by."
"After all... you haven't done anything heinous."
"As long as you don't resist the Empire, I can guarantee that you'll continue managing Rain Village."
"I know you can't bear to let it go."
Konan did not hear a single word Yahiko said.
Konan said nothing. She silently followed behind Yahiko, thinking about Nagato's current condition.
They arrived where Nagato was and saw him sitting there unharmed. The weight in Konan's heart finally lifted.
However, Nagato's gaze had become eerily vacant.
He looked at Yahiko
