Chapter 502: Nagato: What Happened?
After everything was over, Konan dispersed the large tree made with Shikigami no Mai. Then, she wrapped Nagato and Yahiko's corpses in white paper.
Naruto stood beside her, watching everything in silence. Only after Konan finished wrapping both corpses did he ask:
"You're going to take them back?"
"Yes. Deva Pain was made from Yahiko's corpse. For me and Nagato, he was irreplaceable!"
"Yahiko, he was that person?"
Of the three friends who grew up together, now only Konan remained. She must have felt sad and lonely, but she still respected Nagato's wishes and wasn't hostile towards Naruto.
"What are your plans? You won't go back to Akatsuki, will you?"
Naruto felt a pang of sympathy, asking Konan in a soft voice, not wanting to face her in the future.
Therefore, he hoped Konan wouldn't return to Akatsuki. After all, there were hardly any members left in Akatsuki now.
Sasori, Deidara, Itachi, Kakuzu, Hidan... all of them were dead. The once powerful organization had lost more than half of its members.
"Don't worry, I will leave Akatsuki. For me, Yahiko and Nagato were everything. Their dream is now entrusted to you, so you are their hope!"
