Chapter 364: Chapter – 359 Left with no Choice
A few seconds earlier in Amegakure.
'Yama' while wearing his Tenseigan Chakra Mode had a gloomy look on his face at the moment.
He really did not expect Nagato to be able to simply absorb the Four-Symbols Seal, despite the seal sealing his Chakra… not to mention being able to summon Gedo Mazo in less than a second when his Shinra Tensei failed.
By the time, Yama had used 'Kinrin Tensei Baku' (Golden Wheel Reincarnation explosion) to kill Nagato in one shot, he had already summoned Gedo Mazo that protected him from Kinrin Tensei Baku.
Others may not know what exactly is Gedo Mazo, but Yama knows this thing through and through.
Simply put, Gedo Mazo is the husk of Juubi, it can also be said that it is an incomplete form of Shinju (God/Divine Tree). Although made out of wood, its structure is made of extremely dense wood and so damn hard that it can't be cut even with Gudodama (Truth-Seeking Balls).
This thing is immune to all forms of Ninjutsu, other than Space-Time Jutsu like Kamui that Kakashi used to sever one of its arms in the canon, but that thing too is useless as it will ultimately regrow.
Although Yama's Golden Sword is able to barely bypass its defenses, attacks on Gedo Mazo feel like a simple knife hitting on the hard diamond surface, it is as if hitting a blunt surface, moreover, the moment the sword is drawn out, the part regenerate itself, making the attack ultimately useless.
Not to mention the extraordinary vitality that it contains. Yama even fears that if this thing is absorbed by Nagato, then all those injuries of Nagato will heal, which would be more dangerous.
And to be honest, Yama is not much surprised after realizing this fact, if it was even possible to destroy Gedo Mazo, then Rikudo Sennin should have already done it a millennium ago, he and his younger brother Otsutsuki Hamura wouldn't have wasted time and effort in sealing this thing on the moon and have the later generations of Otsutsuki Clan on Moon to guard this thing.
Boom… Boom… Boom…
At this time, Gedo Mazo waved its arms fiercely and attacked Yama, although Yama dodged all of them very easily because of his high speed, it was all still a wasted effort as there is no stopping of Gedo Mazo. Wherever it passed, it left a mess and destruction behind, buildings were simply destroyed houses were trampled.
Roar…
"Damn it!" – Looking at those giant arms continuously rushing towards him, the shockwaves and boulders and gravels and metal bearings and smoke mixed in, Yama was getting highly annoyed.
Yama very well knew that he can't keep on dodging forever, so while keeping the Golden Sword intact and using it to parry the incoming attacks, he further condensed two Gudodama in his right hand, then injected Tenseigan Chakra into it waved his other hand fiercely, 'Ginrin Tensei Boku!' (Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion).
Whoosh… Boom…
Instantly a silver hurricane aroused from Yama's hand and slammed heavily on Gedo Mazo that too had waved its arm fiercely and caused a literal storm to roll in the direction of Ginrin Tensei Boku.
The two storms collided which resulted in a huge shockwave that sent most of the rubble and boulders flying away.
Boom…
The shockwave further resulted in the change of wind pressure which immediately caused sharp cutting winds all over Amegakure.
Even Yama and Gedo Mazo were affected by the resulting storms, and Yama who had the Tenseigan Chakra Cloak on his was sent flying and hit the ground heavily, causing a large depression to be produced in the ground as a result.
Gedo Mazo wasn't much better, it too was overturned and flew away several hundred meters on the other side and heavily collapsed, further destroying Amegakure.
Yama used the Golden Sword to cut through the rubble that had fallen over him and come out of it.
He did not suffer any injuries because of the Tenseigan Chakra Cloak's protection, but the chakra consumption is a bit heavy, which even made him feel overwhelmed.
'I can't continue wasting my efforts against Gedo Mazo… I have to locate Nagato first…' – Thinking of this, Yama focused on looking for the figure of Nagato all over Amegakure.
At this time, the huge Gedo Mazo also stood up, and Yama also noticed the figure of Nagato on the mechanical walker, hiding behind Gedo Statue.
Instantly, Yama's figure turned into a stream of light as he rushed towards Nagato at his top speed.
Nagato obviously noticed the incoming Yama, and bringing forth both of his hands, he roared, 'Shinra Tensei!'
As soon as Yama was about to reach closer to Nagato, an extreme strong repulsive force with a much stronger intensity that was capable of destroying the entire Amegakure swept in all directions with the mechanical walker as the center, swept over the entire Amegakure causing everything in its path to fly far-far away.
Yama wasn't an exception, his body was suddenly subjected to a hammering gravitational repulsion head-on and he was thrown off, heavily collided with one of the walls that were flying away and caused him to puke blood.
"Argh… this one seriously hurt… damn him… cough-cough… just how much of freak is he to be able to… *huff-huff* to be able to… still have so much Chakra…!" – Yama cursed under his painful breath as he was still subjected to strong gravitational repulsion…
Feeling that he has had enough, he put a gravitational barrier around him, and after catching up his breath, he stretched out his other hand, injected as much Chakra as he could, and roared, 'Bansho Ten'in!'
'Since I can't get through, then I would just pull in Nagato towards me!'
Under the strong suction force of Bansho Ten'in, the mechanical walker of Nagato lifted up and irresistibly flew towards Yama.
"Bansho Ten'in too?" – Nagato was more taken aback. These attacks like 'Shinra Tensei' and 'Bansho Ten'in', are Jutsu that only he can use because of the Rinnegan, so the fact that the enemy can also use the same Jutsu extremely surprised him.
Besides, this was the first time he is being hit by these same Jutsus, and the feeling is really not good.
"Do not think that it would be this easy!" – Nagato roared, and following his roar, Gedo Mazo stretched out its hand, grabbed Nagato who was being dragged towards Yama, then used the other hand to punch Yama.
'It's now!' – This is the exact moment Yama has been waiting for!
He suddenly turned over to dodge the punch of Gedo Mazo, then instantly rushed towards Nagato, since the other arm of Gedo Mazo is carrying Nagato, it wouldn't be able to protect Nagato.
At this point, Yama no longer cared if the Rinnegan would be destroyed, and waved the Golden Sword fiercely with all his strength at Nagato.
At this moment, he also noticed a winning smirk on Nagato's lips and he suddenly had a bad feeling. But it was already too late to back off now, so he had to suddenly guard himself.
The exact moment Nagato smirked, the Gedo Mazo opened its mouth and the chakra swept out of it… the chakra soon took the form of a phantom dragon rushing towards Yama.
The speed of both sides was extremely fast, and in an instant, the two sides crossed each other.
Yama did not have enough time to defend against the Dragon Shaped Phantom, the moment this Dragon Shaped Phantom passed through his body, it also grabbed hold of Yama's soul and tried to rip it out of his body.
Yama's consciousness flickered, and for a second, he had a sluggish look on his face under his mask as if his Chakra was about to disappear.
But that sluggishness and flicker in consciousness did not last more than an instant and was soon restored by a solemn look without any trace of panic on his face.
Unlike ordinary Shinobi, Yama because of his Tenseigan is already much familiar with the existence of the soul, moreover, he also has Tenseigan which can easily compete against Rinnegan's visual prowess, so the phantom dragon wasn't much of a threat to him.
So even when he suffered an attack on the soul, there was no damage, no chakra was extracted and he recovered in less than a second.
Nagato who was held by Gedo Mazo suddenly had his winning smirk frozen solid halfway.
He never thought that there is someone who can actually resist this attack, and murmured subconsciously, "How could this even be possible? Does he… does he also have the Rinnegan?"
This seems to be the only logical guess at this point, but Nagato's instincts were telling him that this is not the case here, the enemy does not have the Rinnegan, it is something else entirely.
After a brief shock, Nagato instantly recovered, and injected more of his Chakra into Gedo Mazo, and urged the Dragon Shaped phantom to extract the enemy's entire chakra, as well as tear away from his soul.
Feeling that he has no other choice left, Yama made the hand signs and lifted the chakra seal present on Ryuumyaku Gourd, and allowed the Ryuumyaku Chakra to flow inside him.
Winning against Nagato, an Uzumaki, with his own Chakra seems to be difficult, so he will have to rely on Ryuumyaku's Chakra which is extremely rich in Nature Energy.

Chapter 365: 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 chest, 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 none 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.
The Chakra Bubble then instantly expanded with Yama as the center, and started sucking the Dragon Shaped Phantom inside Yama… A tug of war between Yama and Gedo Statue broke out, and the balance was obviously shifted towards Yama.
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 sucked 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 sucked 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.
Because at this level of confrontation even a little bit of mistake would mean certain death.
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 sucked his vitality…
It's understandable if Gedo Mazo sucked his vitality, but it's not as if it would have always sucked 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 desire 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…!"
