Nagato and Itachi emerged from the rubble.
Once outside, Itachi saw that every member of the Akatsuki had arrived.
Nearby, Konan looked incredulously at Pain beside her when she saw Nagato emerge from the rubble.
Pain seemed to read her thoughts and said directly, "I don't know what's going on either. Let's capture him and question him properly!"
Konan nodded at his words without saying anything.
It wouldn't be appropriate to discuss Nagato in front of every member of the Akatsuki.
In truth, Konan wasn't the only one puzzled. Even Obito was a little bewildered.
Huh? Who's that guy who looks exactly like Nagato? Is he Nagato's long-lost brother?
At that thought, Obito looked at Zetsu. If anyone knew who this man was, it would probably be him.
Zetsu was just as confused... Nagato's entire family had been killed through their schemes, leaving only Nagato alive. There was absolutely no way he had any siblings left...
Both sides watched each other, neither showing any intention of attacking.
The Itachi from the Otherworld looked at this world's Itachi. He desperately wanted to know what his counterpart had been thinking, and why he had slaughtered his entire clan...
And what exactly had happened to the Uchiha in this world?
"Nagato, what should we do? Should we fight?"
Facing the entire Akatsuki, Itachi wasn't completely confident that he could win.

But... if he collected my blood, would the curse affect only me? Or would this world's version of me be cursed too?
Nagato fell into thought at Itachi's question.
No one knew better than he did how difficult the Akatsuki's members were to deal with...
"Itachi... let's retreat for now!
