After using the Dance of the Shikigami Paper to block a bolt of lightning for the innocent mother and daughter, Konan looked at Amegakure, which had become a living hell, and a resolute expression appeared on her face.
In the past, she had followed behind Yahiko and Nagato, unconditionally supporting every action they took.
But after seeing what lay before her today, Konan felt that she could no longer stand by and do nothing as she had before.
Nagato wanted to inherit Yahiko's will. Konan naturally supported that, and she was willing to work hard to help Nagato.
But the Nagato before her had clearly taken the wrong path. What they were doing now was no different from the other ninja villages that had invaded Amegakure back then, nor was it any different from Hanzo, who had killed Yahiko and the others.
They were creating tragedies after tragedies, producing war orphans just like they had once been.
Those children had done nothing wrong. Why should they have to suffer the same pain they had?
Flapping her angel wings, Konan flew before Nagato's true body, hoping he would calm down and open his eyes to look at what Amegakure had become.
But the Outer Path Demonic Statue had already gone mad with bloodlust. Moreover, because Nagato's Rinnegan did not originally belong to him, he could not fully control the Outer Path Demonic Statue. Konan, who had intended to persuade Nagato, was ultimately sent flying by a single slap from it!
"Konan—!"
Seeing Konan sent flying by the Outer Path Demonic Statue, Nagato's eyes split with rage. After Yahiko's death, Konan had been his only emotional anchor in this world.
Yet Konan had now been slapped away by the Outer Path Demonic Statue he had summoned, and her fate was even unknown.
