"Sasuke, the Rinnegan does not belong to me."
The black water in the culture dish slowly slid down against the glass, and Nagato's voice came out from the Sealing Patterns, intermittent and sounding as though it were still separated by a layer of heavy water.
Konan raised her head, her gaze falling on the culture dish.
"Did you hear him? He said the Rinnegan doesn't belong to him!"
Sasuke did not reply.
He raised a hand to press against the culture dish, chakra coursing along the Sealing Patterns, and the voice inside cut off immediately.
"Residual chakra is interfering with the seal. We must seal it first."

Konan shielded Nagato behind her.
"You talk so easily, but he already used his life to bring people back!"
"Compensation."
"You can call saving lives
