Ren's clone did not answer.
He watched the direction Madara had fled, the ripples in his Rinnegan slowly turning.
"If Madara is determined to escape, you won't catch him."
"Besides, he doesn't have much time left to recover."
Nanami looked at him.
Ren's clone said, "He was sealed in stone for over ten days, and the chakra in his reincarnated body was continuously drained."

"If you want to protect everything you have today, you must grow stronger faster."
"The next time Madara appears, I don't want you to have to wait for me
