Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan-Novel

Chapter 360: A Tug of War

As the seal on Ryuumyaku Gourd was released, Ryuumyaku's dense chakra suddenly rushed into Yama's body, instantly, the amount of chakra in his body recovered as well as increased.

At this moment, Yama also carefully analyzed the Phantom Dragon still trying to rip the soul out of his body, although it certainly wasn't being successful at doing so, that's for sure.

'Is it some kind of Fuinjutsu that seals Chakra?' – It didn't take much for Yama to analyze this Jutsu.

It certainly was some kind of Fuinjutsu that 'sealed' or 'absorbed' or 'extracted' Chakra out of the target's body, at the same time, it also rips their soul.

When he thought about this, Yama suddenly remembered a Jutsu that seemed all too similar… or perhaps exactly the same, 'Fuinjutsu: Genryu Kyufujin!' (Sealing Jutsu: Nine Phantom Dragons). The same Jutsu that the members of the Akatsuki Organization used to extract Bijuu out of their Jinchuriki and seal inside the Gedo Mazo.

'No wonder why this Jutsu is still trying to take effect… after all, it's a Jutsu of Juubi, and can literally extract Bijuu out of a Jinchuriki and seal it within Gedo Mazo despite all the resistance of a Bijuu or Jinchuriki, so it is obvious that it wouldn't give up so easily…' – with that understood, Yama started weaving hand signs, tapped his own ċhėst, and muttered, 'Ura Shisho Fuin!', (Reverse Trigram Sealing Jutsu/Reverse Four Symbols Sealing).

'That Jutsu…! I have to back off now!' – Nagato thought and instantly retreated backward to get out of the range of the Chakra Bubble. He was being repeatedly shocked after witnessing things happening before him. He has never encountered anyone who can resist this Jutsu of Gedo Mazo. No matter which enemy, in the face of 'Fuinjutsu: Genryu Kyufujin!', as long as they are touched, they all certainly died, there was who could put any resistance.

And this mysterious leader of Amatsukami is not only putting up resistance, but in fact, he also seems to be completely unaffected by this Jutsu, and not only that he is even able to control his Chakra to use an S-Class Fuinjutsu… This is nothing short of incredible even in Nagato's view, even he can't guarantee if he will be able to do so should he be facing such a situation.

Instantly, a cyan Chakra gushed out of Yama and soon formed a cyan bubble around him, the phantom dragon too was inside the Cyan Chakra bubble…

'Ura Shisho Fuin' is an S-Class Fuinjutsu capable of sealing everything within the chakra bubble inside the caster. It is the same Jutsu that Shimura Danzo used to try to seal Uchiha Sasuke inside him upon his own death…

And Yama is using the same Jutsu here, the difference is just that instead of sealing somebody, he is sealing the Dragon Shaped Chakra Phantom inside him. With the Dragon sealed inside him, Gedo Mazo's Jutsu of trying to seal his Chakra and attempt of ripping out his soul would not work any longer.

As for the difference in the color of the Chakra bubble from being black to Cyan? Well, it's because the Cyan Chakra of Tenseigan Chakra Mode is wrapped around Yama, and it is this same Chakra that was used in forming the bubble.

With the absorption of Dragon Shaped Phantom, its effect on Yama started to disappear, seeing this, Nagato's face distorted in anger, he was more angered at the fact that the enemy was absorbing his Jutsu, and he shouted, "Mortal… do you think that you can defeat the God?! I will make you understand that in the face of my absolute power, all beings are beneath me, all Jutsu is meaningless, and any resistance is futile…"

With his roar, he weaved the hand signs, Tiger – Snake – Rat – Ox – Dog – Ram – 'Fuinjutsu: Genryu Kyufujin!' (Sealing Jutsu: Nine Phantom Dragons). Coupled with his shout, the ripple pattern in his eyes glowed and rippled, it felt as if they were suddenly alive, and Rinnegan suddenly emitted extraordinary levels of Ocular power.

With Nagato's shout, Gedo Mazo roared again, and it seemed to be resonating with the changes in Nagato's Rinnegan, instantly the power Gedo Mazo was applying increased several times, at the same time, the number of phantoms also increased from one to nine, and all the nine phantoms pounced at Yama from all directions, tilting the tug of war in the favor of Nagato.

But Yama wasn't panicked, he snickered at Nagato calling him God, "God?! Yeah right… as if, but let's say I believe you… So, if you are a God, what happens when this little Ol' Me, a 'Mortal' in your words kills this high and mighty God? Do I become a God or do you become something beneath that of a mortal?" – As Yama spoke this, his Tenseigan also bloomed in a more brilliant light than ever…

And the very next moment, all the nine phantom dragons were being suċkėd inside Yama, despite the power that Nagato was putting, it seemed as if the balance would tilt in Yama's favor and all the dragon phantoms would be sealed inside him by Yama.

Nagato roared, "Do not mock me!" – and he increased the chakra input more, and more and more and more, so much so that blood started to flow out of his nose… The result was evident, Rinnegan's power input increased… and for a moment it seemed that Yama's soul will tear apart.

How could Yama allow such a thing to happen? He too gritted his teeth and used more and more Ryuumyaku Chakra… he felt a bit uncomfortable with letting so much Natural Energy collect inside him, but it did not matter right now… all that matters right now is killing Nagato, the result was also evident the glow of Tenseigan increased more and more, and it seemed as if all the Dragon Shaped phantoms would be suċkėd inside Yama.

The battle of ocular power between Yama and Nagato also affected the surroundings, so much chakra was being used here that it started to become substantial… Natural Energy seemed to be affected and started gathering around Yama as well as Gedo Mazo and Nagato… the small pieces of stones and shards of glass started to defy gravity, they were lifted off the surface and hovered in the air.

Both Nagato and Yama were shocked to realize that the ocular power of the other party's dojutsu was much more superior than they had previously expected, but the situation was at a stalemate so neither of them dared to back off rashly.

While in the stalemate, Nagato stared at opposite Yama with a storm brewing in his heart.

Nagato has always believed that Rinnegan is the most superior Dojutsu, whether it is Uchihas Sharingan, or Hyugas Byakugan, both of them fade in comparison to the Rinnegan. The legends of Rikudo Sennin are proof of this fact, and Rinnegan is not called the greatest of the three great Dojutsu just for nothing, you know!

And it is for this reason, he has also come to believe that he was born with the Rinnegan to change this war-littled Shinobi World… to fulfill Yahiko's dream…

And ever since he has awakened these Dojutsu in the truest sense… they have never disappointed him.

Whether it was Kakuzu or the great Snake Sannin Orochimaru or Hanzo or anyone else for that matter, each one lost against him… All of them are nothing more than ants he could easily trample upon…

And yet, today, at this moment… Nagato seemed to have realized that's not the case… There is still someone… left!

While continuing his battle, Yama also thought about a few things that have always confused him before.

He has always wondered why Nagato, with his Uzumaki Descent, with Gedo Mazo at his side, with so many abilities of the Rinnegan, and finally with so many Kinjutsu that the members of the Akatsuki Organization have known is still attached to the Mechanical Walker?

Were the injuries he suffered so serious that he permanently lost his mobility? Not really…! Neither was the injury so severe nor was there no solution… After all, the main reason why he lost his mobility was because of the Exposing Tags that Hanzo used… and the secondary reason was that Gedo Mazo suċkėd his vitality…

It's understandable if Gedo Mazo suċkėd his vitality, but it's not as if it would have always suċkėd away Nagato's vitality, right? At the first attempt, or perhaps at the second attempt, but always? Obviously not!

After all, Obito could use Gedo Mazo perfectly… and he had only one Rinnegan… Meanwhile, Nagato has both, so he should be able to better control Gedo Mazo.

Nagato should have healed… especially considering the fact just how rich the vitality of Gedo Mazo is… and yet he did not!

Yama can only think of two possible reasons, first is probably Nagato's lack of dėsɨrė to walk anymore. Perhaps he stopped caring what happens to him after Yahiko's death… In his view, the moment Yahiko died, he too died, and all that was left was Pain…

And for the second reason? It's probably the need. Nagato probably never felt the need to walk anymore, nobody could match Pain Rikudo in combat, so there was no need to bother with pointless things.

"Cough-cough… *puke*…!" – As the confrontation continued, Nagato was the first one to back down, he may not have willed it, but his body couldn't support it.

Just as the moment Nagato puked blood, Yama's Jutsu took full control over the tug of war and instantly absorbed all the nine phantom dragons within him.

Yama breathed a sigh of relief… 'Finally…!'

"Huff… huff… *cough-cough* Do not… think… *huff* that I have… lost…!" – Nagato muttered between his heavy breaths.

Yama also understands that Nagato is far from being defeated… Gedo Mazo is still standing… It hasn't disappeared yet…

"Bring it on… I am also just getting started…!"
