Everyone was stunned by Shin Uchiha's words, especially Nagato. After a moment of bewilderment, he asked in confusion:
"Mr. Shin, you may not fully understand. Although Madara Uchiha belongs to the Uchiha Clan just as you do, he is nothing like you.
If we really return the Rinnegan to him, it will bring enormous trouble to this world."
As someone who wielded the Rinnegan, Nagato knew perfectly well how terrifying it was.
Although Nagato used the Rinnegan, the limitations of his constitution and the fact that he was not its original owner meant he could unleash, at most, seventy to eighty percent of its power.
Not only had he nearly been drained dry when he summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, but he could not wield either of the two Rinnegan dōjutsu unique to Madara Uchiha.
Even so, Nagato had relied on that pair of Rinnegan to become one of the finest fighters in the shinobi world.
At Nagato's words, a faint smile crossed Shin Uchiha's lips. With a thought, he revealed his own Rinnegan.
"Of course I know. But someone like Madara Uchiha belongs in a forgotten corner of history. The sooner he disappears, the better.
I have another use in mind for returning this pair of Rinnegan to him.
Besides, that maggot lurking in the shadows places great importance on this pair of Rinnegan.
I might as well give them away. That way, the maggot will reveal itself on its own."
Hearing Shin Uchiha's words, Yahiko, Konan, and the others exchanged glances. In the end, Yahiko spoke:
"We trust you, sir. Since we're giving you this pair of Rinnegan, how you handle them is up to you."
At Yahiko's words, Shin Uchiha raised his teacup toward him, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.
"Smart!"
