"Are you mute?" As Obito's voice fell, he raised the hand hidden beneath his black sleeve and reached for Pain Rin's mask!
"..." Pain Rin clasped her little hands behind her back, spun lightly aside to evade him, then raised a finger to the mouth of her cat-face mask in a shushing gesture.
Obito was at a loss. His gaze shifted toward the darkness at the tower entrance. "You mean this isn't a place to talk?"

Pain Rin said, "He doesn't look like he's here to cause trouble. He only asked to speak with my real body. He probably has something to discuss."
"Your real body can't come back?"
"Not anytime soon."
Konan's eyes darkened slightly as she worried, "If your real body doesn't meet him, won't that inevitably make him question where it is?"

"Understood, I'll go right
