Chapter 553: Chapter – 546 A True Narcissist
Receiving no reply from Yama despite all his earlier provocation, Nagato frowned slightly, his gaze swept over everyone on the opposite side of the battlefield, paused on Jiraiya for a short moment, then finally returned to Yama's figure again, as he said, "As I thought… you really are afraid… that's why you are hesitating… It seems that you are not as strong as you appear to be on the surface…"
But there was still no reply from Yama…
Seeing Yama silent, 'Madara' also looked at him with a curious and playful expression.
Before Nagato said anything, 'Madara' was already starting to get suspicious of Yama's unnatural behaviour of remaining silent and not taking any action to stop them despite the fact that Karatachi Yagura and Killer Bee are being constantly stripped of the Bijuu sealed inside them, and may end up losing their life at any point.
And now that Nagato has openly pointed out the fact that 'Yama is afraid', and yet Yama has not taken any action, nor even expression any sort of reaction; so 'Madara' is even more certain.
At the same time, the trace of worry on the face of Sandaime Hokage became even more apparent, even Sannin Jiraiya and Tsunade-hime glanced at each other silently, both of them could guess each other's thoughts and knew that both of them had the same worry in their hearts.
Floating in the sky, the face of Sandaime Tsuchikage Onoki also sank, and he can't help but mutter, "Has what the leader of the Akatsuki Organization said really true? Even the leader of the Amatsukami Organization is also afraid of him. If even Yama is afraid of him, then who can oppose Nagato?"
But unfortunately, there is no one to answer Sandaime Tsuchikage's doubts…
And behind Yama, Homusubi and Shisui clenched their palms that were already filled with cold sweat.
Both of them know the nature of Yama better than anyone else, at least they think that they do… This is why they understand that if Yama is certain of winning, he would never hesitate to make the decisive move, especially in the case where Gedo Mazo is constantly absorbing the Sanbi and Hachibi Chakra of their respective Jinchuriki hosts.
But the fact that Yama has not yet taken any action to stop Nagato and Gedo Mazo is also clear, therefore, Shisui can't help but think, 'Is Kuroto-san really not sure?'
Although Shisui is not completely certain, the moment such a thought appeared in his mind, he reached a certain determination, his expression became resolute, and with this resolute expression of his, he slightly glanced at Homusubi standing beside him.
Homusubi only needed a momentary look at Shisui's eyes to understand Shisui's thoughts, and he too nodded slightly in acquiescence, because he has the same thoughts as Shisui.
Undoubtedly, Shisui has made the determination to sacrifice himself in order to create a winning opportunity for Yama.
And similar to Shisui, Itachi disguised as Homusubi also made up his mind to sacrifice himself in order to create a winning opportunity for Yama…
Itachi knows that he is a Shinobi, and as a Shinobi, if he were to sacrifice himself for the sake of the peace of Konoha and the Shinobi world, then he thinks that his death and sacrifice would mean something… he would die as a true Shinobi and would be proud of himself that he acted as per his beliefs until the very end of his life…
With these thoughts and determination in their hearts, both Shisui and Homusubi cast their eyes on Yama's back… both of them firmly believe that Yama will definitely help the Village to get through tonight's catastrophe…
Therefore, both of them must do all that they can to help Yama, even if it results in their deaths.
At the moment when the atmosphere was so suffocating that even breathing had become difficult, and everyone was more or less prepared for their impending deaths, Yama suddenly turned his head slightly and questioned Sandaime Hokage, "If I remember correctly, you are the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen, right?"
Hiruzen was taken aback, and nodded, "Yes, that's right…" – Although, he didn't know why exactly was Yama talking to him all of a sudden… moreover, asking such a stupid question… he nodded nonetheless… No way, he did not want to offend Yama at any cost, as Yama might be the only person alive capable of stopping the current Nagato.
With Hiruzen's acquiescence, Yama nodded slightly, and continued, "The proposal we made to you a few months back… do you remember it? And have you considered it?"
Hiruzen frowned upon hearing the term 'proposal' from Yama… and suddenly remembered the events from a few months ago… and immediately nodded, "Yes… I do remember, and I agree to your terms!"
It happened just after the retreat of the Akatsuki Organization following the defeat of Nagato at the hands of Yama at the War of the Best. The proposal was made by Homusubi, and it said that 'If the villages can afford the price, then Amatsukami would be willing to fight the Akatsuki Organization in your stead…' (Chap-369)
At that time, Sandaime neither agreed nor denied because he still had confidence in his planning and the strength of the Five Great Shinobi Villages… but considering the current situation, he would be a fool if he still does not agree to the so-called 'Proposal' of Amatsukami.
Everyone on the scene looked at Yama and Hiruzen with confused expressions, not understanding what the two of them were talking about… of course, Homusubi was an exception to these… as he perfectly understood what exactly are the two talking about and can't help but flash a bitter smile, 'Really? Now of all times?'
Not caring about what others were thinking, Yama continued, "So… now that you have considered it, and agreed to our proposal… then, I will name the price.
Really, deciding on a suitable price was a very difficult task even for me, it took me a lot of time, consideration, and brainstorming to think of a suitable conclusion…
Of course, I am not an unreasonable or greedy person, and also took into account the heavy damage that Konoha has suffered tonight while reaching the conclusion…
Huh…?
What is this am I hearing all of a sudden?
You all are saying that I am a very kind and generous fellow…?
I know, I know it myself, so you all don't need to say it… I can tell that you all are looking up to my generous self, and truly admiring me in your hearts… But admiring and praising me won't get you anywhere, so keep your thought to yourself…
Anyway, putting aside the thoughts of my admirers, after much thinking and deliberation, I decided on 20 million Ryo for saving each Kage, 15 million Ryo for each Jinchuriki, and 10 million Ryo for saving each Jonin… how is it, this price isn't too high, and quite affordable, right?"
Hiruzen's eyes twitched at Yama's narcissistic words and almost coughed out old blood upon hearing the 'generous' price mentioned by Yama.
Of course, Hiruzen wouldn't say that the price is unreasonable, in fact, it is not too much for saving the lives of several Kage, Jinchuriki, and dozens of elite Jonins, but the way Yama said that he took various things into account, Hiruzen can't help but really want to curse this guy as 'A True Narcissist'.
As Yama mentioned different prices for saving people of different ranks and identities, the others present on the battlefield suddenly realized what kind of proposal was Yama talking about, and can't help but look at each other with blank faces…
They never expected that the leader of Amatsukami would be such a narcissistic fellow and suddenly start talking about business on the battlefield, moreover, on such a battlefield where the lives of several Kages are hanging on the edge of a rope…
Before anyone could say anything, the old-and-spicy Sandaime Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, and promised in a solemn tone, "Please save as many people as you can Yama-sama… as for the expenses for employing the mercenary Organization Amatsukami… we will bear all the expenses and would pay everything after the events tonight are over…"
As soon as Sandaime Hokage finished speaking, the other ninjas on the battlefield also nodded to show their acquiescence to Sandaime Hokage… of course, their acquiescence appeared quite unnatural because of their stiff faces.
But no matter what, the doubts that had appeared in the hearts of everyone, and the faith in Amatsukami that was starting to get lost was now restored.
At the same time, everyone felt that the reason why Yama was hesitating just now was not that he is afraid of the leader of the Akatsuki Organization, but because he was considering serious business matters, and also driving all of them into a desperate psychological state so that they immediately agree to his proposal without much thinking.
This also shows that despite being a narcissistic fellow, Yama has an excellent and opportunistic mind.
In fact, a certain 'Legendary Sucker', who would not like to be named publicly because of their bad habit of gambling looked at Yama in real admiration, and thought, 'I must also learn things from him about how to take advantage of such opportunities to make money… if I too can be like him, then I would never get short on money… And if I am not short on money, then I can gamble all the time I want without any fear of being chased by the debt collectors… hm-hm… that's right, that's right… hehehehehe!'
Anyway, putting aside the secret thoughts of a certain fat sheep 106 cm bust size...
Shisui and Homusubi were rather embarrassed about Yama's actions. Only a few moments ago they had made up their minds to sacrifice their lives in order to create an opportunity for Yama to defeat Nagato because they felt that Yama might not be able to do so on his own… But now this happened?
To be quite honest, they never expected that the true reason behind Yama's hesitation was not that his strength is not enough to defeat Nagato, but because he was considering important business matters…
Although embarrassed, both of them were still glad that the situation is not as bad as they had presumed
Of course, unlike Shisui and Homusubi, not everyone was glad… Upon hearing Yama's narcissistic words, Nagato who stood opposite Yama was annoyed, and said coldly, "Yama… you are being too arrogant despite knowing that you have no chance of winning… Humph, you can try to gloss it all you want, but you won't be able to save anyone today!"
Hearing Nagato's words, Yama slightly tilted his head to the side and then spoke in a disdainful tone, "A pitiful puppet who has lived all his life dancing in the palm of someone else without ever even realizing the truth of the matter…
Although I do wonder where your inexplicable self-confidence comes from, I am not that interested in knowing about it… and it's no longer important enough. Anyway, since you are so ardent to again have a taste of failure, I am more than willing to fulfil your wish…!"
Having said that, Yama lifted his left hand and lightly flicked his index and middle finger.
Immediately following Yama's flick, except for Karatachi Yagura and Killer Bee who were held tightly by purple and golden Chakra Chains, all the Shinobi lying on the battlefield whether dead or alive were pulled by a very strong force and instantly moved to the other side of the battlefield, that is behind Yama.
"It's really Bansho Ten'in… how can he use this Jutsu?" – Konan, 'Madara' and the hidden Black Zetsu were shocked upon realizing the meaning of Yama being able to use the Jutsu he used just now.
After all, 'Bansho Ten'in' is not an ordinary Jutsu… It's a Visual Jutsu that only the Rinnegan bearers can use… They did not expect Yama to be capable of using a Rinnegan Jutsu…
Moreover, not long ago, Nagato stated that Yama too has some kind of Dojutsu… These two pieces of information lead to a certain absurd conclusion that neither of the three would like to believe in but can't help but think about the possibility of it really being the case, "Is it possible that Yama also bears the Rinnegan?"
Nagato's eyes condensed, but his expression remained unchanged.
In his previous fight with Yama, Nagato had already discovered the fact that Yama is capable of using 'Shinra Tensei' and 'Bansho Ten'in', therefore, the scene just now was not a surprise for him.
On the side of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, everyone was shocked and frightened upon seeing the fact that Yama just flicked his fingers lightly; immediately after that, almost all the shinobi lying on the battlefield flew over by themselves and were orderly placed at a safe distance from the battlefield.
No way, such a Jutsu is really amazing for them… even the experienced Sandaime Hokage and Sandaime Tsuchikage can't tell the exact principle of this Jutsu, and can only make some inexplicable guesses.
Nagato did not care about the fact that Yama was rescuing those dead and injured as their entire being was completely irrelevant to him… So, instead of caring about them, Nagato who has already gathered enough Chakra and Visual Prowess stretched out his right hand, and released his Visual Jutsu, "Shinra Tensei!"

Chapter 554: Chapter – 547 When Worldview Collapses…
'Shinra Tensei!'
As soon as Nagato's indifferent yet murderous voice resounded, an invisible but majestic repulsive force burst out from his palm.
Similar to the previous Super Shinra Tensei used by Tendo Pain that flattened almost the entire Konoha Village in just a single attack, the attack that Nagato used this time against Yama required the same amount of effort with a similar level of Chakra Consumption and the same input of Visual Prowess of his Rinnegan.
But of course, despite the same effort, there were still various differences in the resulting attack… One of the differences is the difference in the destructive power and resultant force produced by the attack, that is, the Super Shinra Tensei released by Nagato against Yama is far far stronger compared to the Super Shinra Tensei used by Tendo Pain to destroy Konoha.
The reason for such a difference in the resultant power; despite the same effort and same inputs is the loss of Chakra during the transmission process.
When Nagato performed the same attack while using the Tendo Pain, some of the Chakra was 'lost' or perhaps 'consumed' in better terminology; during the transmission process.
At the same time, the Tendo Pain's body, which is actually just a corpse couldn't really bear the full pressure of Nagato's Chakra and the Rinnegan in his eye sockets, therefore, all the large-scale and full-powered attacks that Tendo Pain performed were limited in their upper limits, and couldn't really display Nagato's true power.
The reason for informing such an 'obvious' fact is to highlight just how strong Nagato's main body, that is, he, himself is.
Anyway, all that aside…
Whooooosh!
The boundless and majestic repulsive force released by Nagato swept the entire battlefield and seemed to overwhelm everyone.
Although it was just some colourless and invisible force of repulsion, however, because of how abnormally powerful this force was, it even distorted the very air itself, which was a medium of transmission of this force… The distortion and compression of air gave off a shining silver halo and produced pitch-black and blood-red sparks in the air.
Faced with such an attack, the shinobis of the five great nations who were present behind Yama and treating or rescuing the injured ones were immediately panicked…
It didn't wait for even an instant as everyone subconsciously stopped whatever they were doing and looked at the shining silver halo with pitch-black and blood-red sparks coming in their direction with pale expressions that were filled with nothing except for a horrifying look as if facing death, itself.
Even if they know that Yama should be able to deal with such an attack, they still couldn't help but get worried over the 'what if…?' possibility… and to be honest, nobody could blame them for their worry, after all, it wasn't their fault… this is just basic human nature… nothing one can do about it.
Sandaime Hokage who has already suffered damage from such an attack not long ago, subconsciously raised both of his hands to quickly weave hand signs in order to use a defensive Jutsu… but stopped halfway through.
The reason why Sandaime Hokage stopped halfway through is that he suddenly realized 'something', and this 'something' is the fact that even if he has mastered an uncountable number of Jutsus to be hailed as 'The Professor', he still had no Jutsu in his arsenal that would be able to cope up with the situation in front of him.
At such a close distance, facing an attack several times more powerful than the one that destroyed almost the entire Konoha Village, he could do only one thing… and that is to pray… pray that the leader of Amatsukami is capable of countering such an attack, else it would be death for all of them!
And just as everyone felt desperate, Yama who has already finished rescuing almost all the injured and wounded, raised his right hand like Nagato and pressed forward into the void.
It was at this very moment, the heartbeat-like resonance between Yama's Tenseigan and the Giant Tenseigan on the Moon was completely completed.
It was also at this very moment when the Chakra of the Giant Tenseigan had crossed the distance of several hundred thousand miles between the Moon and the Earth and poured into Yama's body in the form of an endless stream.
And using the endless stream of Tenseigan Chakra pouring into his body, Yama countered Nagato's Super Shinra Tensei, with his own Super Shinra Tensei.
'Counter!'
The moment Yama pushed his right hand forward, another repulsive force abruptly appeared on the battlefield and rushed towards the incoming attack from Nagato.
The Chakra of the Giant Tenseigan on the Moon is extremely powerful, it is even exaggerated to the point of being able to drive the entire Moon directly towards earth without much consumption. This point was proven in the Cannon, where Otsutsuki Toneri wanted to forcefully collide the Moon with the Earth to destroy the Shinobi World established by Rikudo Sennin in order to fulfil the so-called last will of Hamura.
Regardless, of whether he succeeded or failed, one thing to note is that Toneri believed and had full confidence that the Giant Tenseigan on the Moon would not only be able to shield the Castle located in the core part of the Moon from the resulting impact brought by the collision of the Moon with the Earth, but it will also be able to help him make the world anew.
You know, the resulting impact brought by the collision of the moon with the earth would most likely create a planetary explosion, not your run-of-the-mill explosion, but a fu**ing PLANETARY EXPLOSION!
Not to mention, make the world anew…? How is that shit even possible? And yet Toneri had such confidence?
This just goes to show how absurdly powerful the Giant Tenseigan on the Moon is…
Therefore, even when supported by the measly Chakra of the Giant Tenseigan on the Moon, Yama's simple counter-attack was in no way inferior to Nagato's Shinra Tensei.
Whooooosh!
It didn't take long for the two repulsive forces to slam into each other, and the moment the two collided, the surrounding air that was affected by the repulsive forces was continuously distorted and compressed, then resulted in a huge explosion.
Boom Boom Boom
But it didn't stop just there, even the valley where the battlefield is located couldn't bear the resulting confrontation between these two repulsive forces and started to shake violently.
Shake… Shake… Rumble… Rumble… Rumble…
Following the terrible shaking which knocked down almost everyone except for the Kage class individuals, the entire valley gradually started to crack open at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within just a few more seconds, the entire valley was torn apart from the middle!
Boom! Rumble… Rumble… Rumble…
Smoke and dust start to rise up, but under the compression of the two colliding repulsive forces, it formed a nearly flat screen in the middle, the splattered gravel and dust were also crushed into fine dust particles and merged with the flat dust screen in the middle…
"M-monsters… these two are simply monsters!" – nobody knew who muttered such a thing in nervousness, but everyone who was watching the two couldn't help but agree with him.
Looking at the pieces of land that were being gradually pushed away from the meeting point of the two repulsive forces, the two sides that were separating further and further, and the bottomless earth fissure that appeared in the middle… all the onlookers were stunned.
But more than stunned, they were baffled…!
No one imagined that fights between shinobi can also take such a form!
When they thought of Shinobi confrontation, people usually thought of colourful but dangerous Ninjutsu, wonderful Shuriken and Kunai throwing techniques that required all sorts of calculations, graceful and elusive Kenjutsu techniques, high strength-based as well as Gentle Taijutsu Techniques, less impactful but more deadly Genjutsu techniques, Fuinjutsu techniques that required high IQ, as well as, various types of Kekkei Genkai that are rooted in blood… and whatnot…
But this? None had imagined before…
Who can think that just by raising their right arms, the leaders of Amatsukami and Akatsuki can change the entire terrain of the battlefield…?
Even the Sandaime Hokage Hiruzen and Sandaime Tsuchikage Onoki who have lived in this Shinobi World for several decades and have their fair share of experiences could have never imagined that one day they would witness such a scene of battle between two shinobi…
At this time both looked at each other with bitter expressions on their faces and could guess each other's thoughts… because both of them felt their worldview collapsing.
In fact, the people of the five great Shinobi Villages weren't the only ones who were shocked.
Even Konan, 'Madara', 'Tobi, and the hidden Zetsu were shocked by the sight before them.
Of course, the cause of their shock was different…
Although, it was the first time they have witnessed Nagato use such a powerful Shinra Tensei, what surprised them more is the fact that despite using such a terrifying Shinra Tensei, Nagato still couldn't gain a slight upper hand against Yama.
Among the five no… six members of Akatsuki present here, the one most troubled and angered was undoubtedly Black Zetsu… 'Just how in the heck is this possible…?'
He, who has lived in this shinobi world for almost a millennium is the one most clear about Nagato's strength.
The changes in Nagato just after the implantation of Hashirama Cells had already made him feel quite uneasy… because he realized the fact that Nagato had grown too powerful and could no longer be controlled as easily as before…
This is also the reason why he compelled Obito to take back his other eye…
But what he didn't expect was that even after Nagato underwent such earth-shaking changes, there is still someone who can match, and perhaps even overwhelm Nagato!
"Is it really as I thought? Is Yama really a descendant of Hamura?"– muttered Black Zetsu with a gloomy tone.
While Black Zetsu was gloomy, 'Madara' was also filled with anxiety as he looked at Yama, of course, 'Madara' did not forget to pay special attention to Homusubi behind Yama.
Because it hasn't been very long since he fell into Homusubi's trap, and was sealed inside the Sword of Totsuka, so, his memories are still quite vivid, therefore, he is clearer than anyone, that Homusubi in front of him is a sinister and calculative guy… no, in his opinion, all the Homusubi of the Amatsukami are despicable and shameless people!
Therefore, in Madara's eyes, the threat of Homusubi is no less than Yama… And, 'Madara' even believes that If he were to mistakenly ignore or forget the existence of the subordinate named Homusubi just because the big boss Yama is present on the battlefield, he will definitely suffer another loss at the hands of Homusubi…
So, even if he is cautious of the big boss Yama, 'Madara' is still more afraid of Homusubi who is capable of sealing him inside the Sword of Totsuka.
In fact, at this time, 'Madara' even felt a little regretful for his earlier stupidity. He felt that he should have saved Hiruko early and not let him suffer such serious damage at the hands of Fujin, that way, the Akatsuki Organization wouldn't have lost a Super Kage Class Combat personnel.
But no way, what's done is done already… now he can only hope that Hiruko does not die and manage to survive… although, according to Zetsu's analysis of Hiruko's current state, the probability of Hiruko's survival is very less, so he doesn't have much hope anyway… therefore, 'Madara' is really a bit regretful…
And while 'Madara' was feeling regretful for not saving Hiruko, Konan looked at Nagato with a worried expression on her face… but neither did she try to stop Nagato, nor did she speak anything else to disturb him, and chose to remain silent… The situation has already developed to such a point where even she couldn't speak about retreating…
Of course, the option of retreat is still in her mind, but for them to safely retreat, they must find a suitable opportunity… otherwise, the attempt to retreat from just this battlefield and the Land of Fire will result in the retreat from the Shinobi World itself…
…
At the same time, on the Moon.
Although the Temple where the Giant Tenseigan is enshrined is brightly lit because of the glowing Giant Tenseigan, overall, it still retains its silent and solemn atmosphere.
Since the resonance between Yama's Tenseigan and the Giant Tenseigan was neither a first-time occurrence nor was it established through a forced or crude approach, there was no alarm, and, coupled with the fact that, currently, there is no one present inside the temple, so the unusualness of the Giant Tenseigan went unnoticed.
Of course, sometimes, people are just so damn unlucky that even if everything they do is perfect, the lady luck still gives a harsh kick in their balls…
As is the case this time…
Although no one on the Moon noticed the unusualness of the Giant Tenseigan, which allowed Yama to re-establish resonance with the Giant Tenseigan without any hindrance, and use its Chakra without alerting anyone, however, tonight just happened to be the night when the puppets who are responsible for cleaning the Temple came into the Temple... of course, for cleaning the temple…
What is the probability of such a thing happening today, and right at this moment?
Regardless of whatever the actual probability fraction is… the moment the cleaning puppets noticed the unusualness of the Giant Tenseigan, a commotion seemed to have broken out… and all the puppets panicked. After a while, the leader of cleaning puppets who is also a puppet calmed all the puppets, then took some of the puppets and ran towards the direction of the living quarters of the elder to report the unusualness of the Giant Tenseigan.
