Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 558: Yama’s Deterrent Effect

‘Unbelievable… Not only did Nagato actually manage to offset most of the momentum of the falling meteorite, he even managed to save Konan from being crushed by the meteorite, at the same time, managed to survive himself? This is simply unbelievable!’ thought Yama with an unhappy expression as he looked at the scrawny and bloody Nagato not far away.

Almost everything went according to his plan and did not deviate much from his expectations, but this doesn’t make Yama happy at all, on the contrary, Yama is unhappy, very angry, and cursing himself for being correct this time!

Because this only makes the situation worse!

Although on the surface it seems as if Yama not only singlehandedly faced against all the four core members of the Akatsuki Organization at once, but even managed to overwhelm them without much difficulty, as a result, proving himself to be an invincible existence, and making them appear as extremely vulnerable and helpless against him. Yama himself is extremely clear that in reality, that’s not the case at all!

In reality, whatever power Yama showed, it was all thanks to the Chakra of the Giant Tenseigan on the Moon, and now that the connection with the Giant Tenseigan has been cut off, Yama himself doesn’t retain much chakra to be able to continue the same level of invincible offensive.

Yama knows that without any support from either the Giant Tenseigan on the Moon or from Toyotama/Ryuumyaku, he is unable to maintain and control too many Truth Seeking Orbs at once. And considering the fact, three of his truth-seeking orbs are being used to constantly maintain the seal of the three Limbo Clones of Nagato that he sealed not long Yama doesn’t really have many options left with him at this moment.

Maintaining those seals on the Limbo Clones to stop them from interfering in the battle is rapidly consuming Chakra out of him, as such even though Yama has such a nice opportunity in front of him, with Nagato being in such an injured and sorry state and all, he is still not certain whether he will be able to successfully kill off Nagato because the damn Gedo Mazo is still connected to him and rapidly supplying him with life force!

And while Nagato is being given Life Force by Gedo Mazo, there are still no signs of Senjutsu Chakra appearing in Yama’s body that was supposed to have come by now, which has further delayed him. This delay has disrupted his plans of killing Nagato as his current Chakra reserves are simply unable to support him in doing so!

With Yama’s current Chakra reserves; even maintaining those seals and the Tenseigan Chakra Mode is a difficult task for him, much less attacking Nagato with Gedo Mazo on his side, which is a complete suicide move in his opinion!

Understanding this full well, Yama dare not be so bold as before and openly attack Nagato.

Actually, Yama had originally planned to force Nagato to give it his all to resist the meteorite in order to protect Konan and wanted to take advantage of it to reap his life, but the delay in the arrival of the Senjutsu Chakra from his Shadow Clone and the damn existence of the Gedo Mazo has disrupted all his plans, and again made him realize that Nagato is really one of the Children of the Prophecy, killing him won’t be easy unless Nagato willingly sacrifices his life.

“I didn’t expect that the gap between our individual strengths would be widened to such a degree in just a few months…” Yama muttered silently as he looked at the opposite Nagato who was removing the Black Receiver from Konan’s body.

Puff…

After removing the last Black receiver from Konan’s body, Nagato coughed a mouthful of blood, his figure staggered slightly and almost fell to the ground.

The bloody and injured Konan; who was protected by Nagato all this time resisted the pain brought by her injuries and quickly got up to support Nagato.

The current Konan has no words left to say, after all, the reason why Nagato is in such a sorry state is primarily her, therefore, she can only bite her lip in frustration at her uselessness, let the tears stream down her face in guilt and sadness, but dare not mutter a single word to be a distraction in the face of Yama and only supported Nagato to the best of her abilities, which is the only thing she can do at this point.

*Cough-Cough!*

Nagato coughed up blood, then wiped the corner of his mouth with his right hand while looking at the figure of Yama not far away with his bulging eyes.

Following Nagato’s gaze, Konan too looked at the figure of Yama on the opposite, and said while gritting her teeth in anger, “Nagato you retreat… I will try to draw away his attention to cover up for you… I am not sure for how long I will be able to hold it… I think it should be possible to distract him for a few seconds… But you needn’t worry… I have placed billions of Exploding Tags on the battlefield, the big deal is that I will die together will him! But you must survive Nagato… for only you can bring peace to the world!”

Although Konan said so, in her heart she is extremely clear that her exploding Tags are completely useless on Yama no matter how many billions of them there are, therefore, she knows that her intention of distracting Yama is just a suicide move, but this is the only thing she can do.

If she can trade her life in exchange for bringing an opportunity for Nagato to retreat, then she would do so without any hesitation.

“Hahahahaa….” Hearing Konan’s words, Yama chuckled disdainfully.

Of course, it’s not that Yama was looking down on Konan’s so-called billions of explosive tags or her determination to sacrifice herself, it’s just that he is trying to intimidate the two of them to make sure that they don’t start making reckless moves against him out of desperation because that would be very dangerous for the current Yama.

Yama’s current intention is very simple, he just wants to delay some time, to make sure that Senjutsu Chakra molded by his Shadow Clone arrives in his body. Of course, Yama has to make sure that Nagato and Konan don’t figure out Yama’s true intentions, therefore, the disdainful laugh.

This is not the first time he has been in such a dilemma, so he has enough experience o how to deal with it and knows how to play it cleverly to delay some time.

Of course, while delaying time, and vigilantly watching Nagato, Yama also tried to perceive his surroundings in order to find the positions of ‘Madara’, in order to be prepared to guard against his sneak attacks.

Yama is very clear that almost everyone on this battlefield, including him, has suffered some sort of injury because of the meteorite fall just now. But there is just one exception to this!

And this exception is without a doubt ‘Madara’ because of his BUG type Mangekyou Sharingan Dojutsu: Kamui!

Because of his Kamui, ‘Madara’ is capable of making himself intangible, so Yama knows that there is no way the meteorite fall would have had any impact on him.

After all, ‘Madara’ was completely unaffected even by Deidara’s C0 suicide bomb which creates a blast range of more than 10 kilometers radius, so obviously ‘Madara’ won’t suffer here either.

As such, ‘Madara’ who can completely ignore these types of attacks has naturally become the one most threatening to the current Yama. After all, aside from his intangibility, ‘Madara’ is also capable of using Long Range Kamui attacks to directly shred anything with just a single glance at his target, which is the most dangerous and can bypass all sorts of defense.

Therefore, Yama must remain vigilant against ‘Madara’ and his Kamui at any cost!

And while Yama was searching for ‘Madara’, Nagato waved his hand towards Konan and said without moving his gaze away from Yama, “No… the one who should retreat is you… As for me… I… I haven’t lost yet… I still have some tricks up my sleeve, as such, I can defeat him just fine!”

Although his figure is already skinny and bonny, his chest is heavily gasping for breath, heaving up and down as if he will suffocate any moment, Nagato still had the determination to fight to the death against Yama, and the war intention radiating from his eyes have not weakened in the slightest.

Unnecessary emotions such as surprise, hesitation, doubts, disbelief, and anger that were interfering and clouding his judgment until a while ago because of the sudden appearance of meteorite have completely disappeared, and all that’s left now is the intention to kill or be killed.

Perceiving Nagato’s intentions, the re-flaring of his chakra that he sucked out of the Gedo Mazo, and the sudden appearance of a vague shadow next to him, Kuroto’s face under the Yama mask turned darker…

The vague shadow that appeared next to Nagato is obviously his fourth Limbo Clone. Earlier Yama had destroyed it using the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, but it seems that more than enough time has passed since then, and Nagato has managed to bring it out again using the Chakra he sucked out of the Gedo Mazo.

The appearance of the fourth Limbo Clone beside Nagato only made the situation worse, because now Yama is not even certain if he can successfully seal the fourth Limbo Clone while guarding against the real Nagato, ‘Madara’, Konan, Zetsu, and Tobi at the same time.

In fact, given the current situation, and the sudden turn of events, the probability that Yama might be the one who ends up dying at the end of this battle has also increased exponentially, which has also made him somewhat afraid to make a move.

This also made Yama sigh at Nagato’s body… The pseudo-Sage physique that Nagato has gained after the transplantation of Hashirama Cells is extremely terrifying with exaggerated battery life (Extremely High Chakra Reserves), extremely fast charging speed (extremely fast Chakra recovery speed), and the most terrifying power bank (Gedo Mazo) that can continue to provide him the needed charging anytime and anywhere.

While Yama was sighing in helplessness, suddenly, a spiraling whirl appeared on Nagato’s side, out of which the figure of ‘Madara’ appeared.

‘Madara’, while vigilantly guarding against Yama, grabbed Nagato’s shoulder, preventing him from making any reckless attack against Yama.

At the same time, Zetsu and Tobi also appeared out of the ground, and while fearfully looking at the figure of Yama standing on the opposite side, both of them persuaded Nagato, “Nagato, retreat…”

The appearance of ‘Madara’, Zetsu and Tobi loosened Konan’s tight nerves, and she sighed in relief and quickly said to Nagato, “Nagato… fighting to the death here is worthless… Have you forgotten Yahiko’s last words? How are you going to complete them if you end up dying here?”

After hearing Konan’s words, and specifically the mention of Yahiko’s last words, Nagato sighed and stopped insisting, “Alright… retreat!”

The moment Nagato agreed, Konan spread out her paper wings, lifted off Nagato, and flew far away from Yama, leaving behind, ‘Madara’, Zetsu, and Tobi who stayed here with the intention of covering up Nagato and Konan’s retreat.

Although they stayed behind to cover up Nagato and Konan’s retreat, they were extremely nervous and clenched their hands in sweat.

Upon seeing such a sudden change, and Nagato’s intention of retreating, Yama frowned… Although he is somewhat afraid of the current Nagato, Yama didn’t want to just let all of the members of the Akatsuki Organization retreat so easily.

So, without caring about whether the Senjutsu Chakra in his body had arrived or not, Yama rushed forward, and shouted, “You–––”

But before Yama could either finish his words or cover even half the distance to get closer to any of the Akatsuki members, the faces of Konan and Nagato in the distance turned fearful, and fearing that Yama will catch up to them, Nagato immediately shouted, ‘Reverse Summoning Jutsu!’ and then the very next instant both he and Konan disappeared into poofs of white smoke.

At the same time, Zetsu, Tobi, and Madara’s expressions were also fearful and noting that both Nagato and Konan had disappeared, they did not dare stay here an instant longer and disappeared from the battlefield using their individual means of Kamui and ‘Mayfly Technique’.

Phew…

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew, and Yama, who was the only person left on the battlefield blinked his eyes in daze… and muttered in wonder, “Has my deterrence already reached such a high level?”
