Nagato calmly began to speak. "Since what you want is the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, how about I summon it, and you let Konan go?"
Nagato didn't mention himself. As he saw it, no one would let him go with his Rinnegan.
"Oh? That's a decent resolve. Then summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path first." Clone Yuzhen suppressed his urge to activate his own Rinnegan.
After all, a clone's chakra only ran out; it couldn't be replenished. Since he also had to protect his original body, he figured every little bit saved was worth it.
"Phew." Nagato relaxed inwardly and let out a soft breath. "Then please wait a moment. As you can see, my legs aren't in very good shape."

As soon as he finished speaking, a mass of Yang Release Chakra shot from Yuzhen's hand.
"Hmm?"
Nagato looked at the chakra sent his way, confused. What did he mean by payment for the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?

Nagato felt as though his legs had been healed?!
"What is this?"
Unable to believe it, he immediately climbed down from the device that looked like a wheelchair.
"They're really healed!"
At that moment,
Nagato was utterly
