After leaving Yugito Nii and the others on the moon, Uchiha Ensei returned to the Ninja World, feeling much lighter.
This time, however, Uchiha Ensei appeared beside Konan.
Konan was still in the same place, but tents had now been erected across the once-empty land. The tents held plenty of food and other supplies.
With the power of Konan's Paper Release, she could naturally live quite well without pursuers on her tail.
Noticing Uchiha Ensei's arrival, Konan immediately hurried over with concern.
"How is it? Nagato..."
Hearing that, Uchiha Ensei could not help frowning.
"Wait. Didn't you say Nagato was already dead? Why are you asking me about him now?"
A faint killing intent had already risen in Uchiha Ensei's eyes.
What he hated most was being deceived.
Facing Uchiha Ensei's murderous gaze, Konan felt a wave of terror wash over her. For a long while, she could not even speak.

Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks, but Uchiha Ensei showed not the slightest pity.
Just as he was about to use Kotoamatsukami to forcibly control Konan, she finally recovered and hurriedly explained:
"Nagato is dead, but his body was turned into a puppet and trapped inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."
Konan's words temporarily halted Uchiha Ensei's killing intent.
"He used to turn other people's bodies into puppets. Now he has become a puppet himself. That really is karma."
Uchiha Ensei spoke coldly.
From Konan's words, Uchiha Ensei guessed that Nagato might indeed not be dead, but he had no intention of telling her.
There were rumors that using Rinne Rebirth meant certain death, yet Obito Uchiha, who resurrected Madara Uchiha
