With the help of his clone, Uchiha Kyu charged into the air and grabbed Konan from behind.
A cold specially made kunai was held against Konan's pale, cool neck.
With her wings out of control, the two of them fell rapidly. Uchiha Kyu adjusted their landing posture, and they landed safely.
The chill against her neck was nowhere near as cold as the realization that she had once again become her companion's weakness.
Yahiko had died because of her.
It had always been a hurdle Konan could never get past.
She had never expected the same scene from the past to repeat itself today.
"Little miss, looks like you're not as cold and emotionless as you seem."
Uchiha Kyu's arm was locked beneath her neck, and he could feel that her figure had been hidden by her clothes.
A deathly look flashed through Konan's eyes. Even if she died, she would not let anyone use her to threaten Nagato.
"Bastard, I won't let you threaten him."
"If you die, Uzumaki Nagato will completely lose control. When that happens, the one who dies will be Uzumaki Nagato."
"Do you really think those Rinnegan can make Nagato a savior?"
Konan's pupils trembled in shock, and her heart began to race.
This guy was so young. How did he know about the Rinnegan?
Konan, who had initially intended to kill herself, immediately abandoned that thought.
He understood those eyes. Perhaps he knew a way to restore Nagato's body.
"That's more like it."
Feeling Konan stop resisting, Uchiha Kyu let out a sinister cackle.
"Patriarch."
Uchiha Shin and the others hurried over, surrounding Uchiha Kyu protectively as they watched the enemies warily.
"Be careful. These enemies are far stronger than Jonin."
"Especially that one with the purple ripple eyes. Those are called the Rinnegan."
