Chapter – 522 Chibaku Tensei

Listening to the confident words of the other party, the indifference on Tendo's face turned into a frown.

Originally, Nagato only paid attention to the leader of the Amatsukami Organization, Yama, because only he had the strength that made Nagato feel threatened, but later Nagato also became vigilant against Homusubi when he learned that 'Madara' had an 'accident' at the hands of Homusubi.

Although Nagato did not know what 'accident' 'Madara' had against Homusubi, Nagato can more or less judge that 'Madara' was defeated at the hands of Homusubi, which made Nagato extremely surprised, after all, 'Madara's' Mangekyou Sharingan is not ordinary, being able to defeat him is an amazingly big achievement.

Therefore, Nagato also became somewhat vigilant against Homusubi.

After that, Nagato also learned about Suijin's feats, the fact that Suijin can transform into a Dragon, and how he can use Ice Armor along with many other Jutsu that he used against Yagura… So, Nagato also took Suijin into consideration, after all, having individual power at the level of a perfect Jinchuriki is not a joke… of course, Suijin was only taken into consideration, that's all, nothing more.

After these three, Nagato thought that he has already seen through the entire Amatsukami, but he didn't expect that even Fujin who was not too well known would also turn out to be so difficult. Not only did Fujin completely overwhelm Hiruko who can perfectly use five Kekkei Genkai, but also managed to almost hurt Tendo…

Tendo is different from other Pain, for Nagato the importance of Tendo is more than his own life, and no matter what, he would not allow Tendo to be destroyed… therefore, Nagato's vigilance against Fujin who can come close to the strength of Tendo became higher…

'His strength is strong enough to threaten me…' is the thought in Tendo's mind as he looked at Fujin with utmost vigilance.

After a while of silence, Tendo's cold eyes became more serious, and he spoke to Fujin, "Report your name…"

Fujin frowned when he heard Tendo's question, then said, "Don't you already know? This one's called Fujin…"

Nagato shook his head, "No, I am asking your real name… not one of those code names…"

Everyone knows that members of Amatsukami use the names of Shinto Deities as code names, but this doesn't mean that these are their real names… Pain wants to know Fujin's real name…

Fujin thought a little, then said, "Then you may call this one Futen…"

"Futen?" Tendo groaned slightly but he didn't seem to have any impression of the name Futen… so after a while of thinking, he asked again, "Are you a shinobi of the Kaguya Clan?"

Fujin shrugged, "Who knows?"

Tendo's frown deepened… Fujin didn't affirm that he is a member of the Kaguya Clan, so there is no telling whether he really is a shinobi of the Kaguya Clan or not… So, Tendo is not so sure about the identity of Fujin.

Thanks to Zetsu's special abilities that allow him to gather intelligence, the Akatsuki Organization's infiltration into the major Shinobi Villages has been quite smooth over the years.

This is also one of the reasons why Akatsuki has been well informed about the raid of tri-Alliance at Amegakure beforehand, as well as, the current Gokage Summit that took place in Konoha… so, it wouldn't be wrong to say that the Akatsuki Organization also has detailed information about almost all the powerful shinobi in the Shinobi World.

But no matter how much Nagato searched through his memories, he couldn't find any information about a strong shinobi at the level of Fujin/Futen who can use both Magnet Release, as well as, Shikotsumyaku…

The 'Fujin's of Amatsukami seemed to have jumped out of thin air, or more like, the entire Amatsukami seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and matter how much they search, nobody is able to find any information about the true identities of the members of Amatsukami.

While Fujin and Tendo were engaged in some sort of conversation, Jiraiya seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "Nagato, as your Sensei, I can not allow you to keep doing these things… Today, I must stop you no matter what!"

Tendo turned his gaze towards Jiraiya, and questioned lightly, "Jiraiya-Sensei… are you going to kill me?"

Jiraiya said with a heavy expression, "if you refuse to repent for your mistakes, then I have no other choice!"

"Repent? Mistakes?" Tendo snorted disdainfully and said, "Why is it that when people of Great Shinobi Villages destroyed Amegakure, it was for Justice, but now that I have destroyed Konoha I have done an act of Evil? Why do I need to repent when I am eliminating my enemies? Why is it that always great nations represent Justice but small nations represent evil?"

Jiraiya was speechless, he didn't have any counterargument to Tendo's questions, and could only speak helplessly, "Nagato, you have been blinded by hatred!"

"No!" Tendo shook his head, and said coldly, "I have just woken up… Yahiko warned me with his life that words can not be exchanged for peace, people can never understand each other… Power is the true foundation of peace, and only when everyone in this world has experienced Yahiko's pain… only when everyone in this Shinobi World will endure the same pain that I have will the truly understand the meaning and value of peace… This is why I want to make this world feel Pain."

Jiraiya never thought that Nagato's thinking would become so extreme and twisted, he wants to use fear and pain to maintain peace in the Shinobi World… and now Jiraiya can't help but feel that he has really failed as a Sensei by being unable to guide Nagato… and asked with a saddened expression, "The peace you are seeking is it really peace? Think about it Nagato… Everyone will live in fear and sadness, there would be no laughter, no joy, and no freedom… would such peace be any different from prison? Would such peace really be something Yahiko would want to see?

The Peace Yahiko wanted was peace where people feel secure, they don't have to starve, they don't have to live in fear, they don't have to cry… but what you are doing now is exactly the opposite of what Yahiko wanted…"

Hearing Jiraiya's words, Nagato recalled the peasant memories of his childhood with Jiraiya, Yahiko, and Konan… then he also remembered, the death of his parents, the sacrifice of Yahiko, the death of all the members of the first iteration of Akatsuki, and said with a firm tone, "It's better than dying inexplicably at home out of starvation, dying silently on the roadside where there is no one even bothering to look at you, crying silently in the wilderness of fear and loneliness…

Jiraiya-sensei, you speak of joy, laughter, and freedom? But what would they even mean if even basic survival is not guaranteed?"

"That's why we should work harder to change this Shinobi World in a better direction… you have the legendry eyes of Rikudo Sennin Nagato… Although the prophecy no longer holds any meaning, I still believe that you may be the 'Child of the Prophecy' who will bring great changes to this Shinobi World… don't make mistakes again and again… Don't get blinded by hatred!" – said Jiraiya in a desperate tone…

"Perhaps you are right Jiraiya-sensei… I might as well be the 'Child of the Prophecy' who will bring great changes to this Shinobi World, but those changes are not what you expect of me… and since you are so adamant about standing opposite to me, there is only one thing I can give you…" said Tendo coldly then stretched out his hand towards Jiraiya, 'Shinra Tensei!'

Boom!

Under the huge repulsive force of Shinra Tensei, Jiraiya instantly flew out.

After sending Jiraiya far away, Tendo muttered to himself, "Only Pain can bring peace… Jiraiya-Sensei… you don't seem to be able to understand me because you haven't experienced enough pain… when you do, you too will agree with me…"

Seeing that Jiraiya's 'Talk no Jutsu Failed' Fujin sighed... Fujin had really hoped that Jiraiya's 'Talk no Jutsu' would work on Nagato, but it seems that Fujin was expecting too much from him… not everyone is as overpowered as Uzumaki Naruto.

And to be honest, Fujin neither cares about who is right and wrong nor does he have enough energy to care about it. His current condition is already critical, the effects of the Curse of the Kaguya Clan are worsening with every passing second, and as Tendo said earlier, Fujin is really about to reach his limit.

The joints everywhere are already like rusty machinery, even the slightest body movement will cause popping sounds and a paralyzing sensation in the whole body.

Undoubtedly, the characteristics of All-Killing Ash Bones in the Fujin Clone are becoming more and more obvious.

And since the particles of All-Killing Ash Bones are present in the blood, so, the entire body is feeling a paralyzing sensation, all the organs in the body have started to slowly deteriorate, and the body functions are also not functioning properly.

'Hiss… damn it really hurts.' Cursed Fujin. If not for the mask he was wearing to cover his face, Fujin wouldn't even be able to keep his face unchanged.

Enduring the physical discomforts, Fujin looked at Tendo while trying to think of a way how to deal with Nagato and the hidden Obito.

Pain Rikudo are just puppets made out of human dead bodies, destroying them is pointless because as long as Nagato is alive, he can continue to replace the puppets with new dead bodies…

But… Tendo of the Pain Rikudo is different. Tendo is made from the dead body of Nagato's dearest friend Yahiko. For Nagato, the importance of Tendo is extremely high, and Fujin believes that no matter what, Nagato wouldn't be willing to give up on Tendo, therefore, Fujin can use Tendo to make plans on how to defeat Nagato, and Obito.

After a while of thinking, Fujin completed his plan and shouted at Jiraiya who was blown away by Tendo's Shinra Tensei, "Don't waste your breath, the way things are, reasoning with him is useless as your words hold no weight. If you must correct him, first defeat him… only after you defeat him will your words hold any value!"

Jiraiya nodded, by now he has already realized that basic persuasion is meaningless… Although Rinnegan brought great strength to Nagato, it also blinded him with arrogance. Unless he is defeated, he wouldn't even bother listening to what others are trying to convey to him.

With that understood, Jiraiya quickly started to weave hand signs…

Tendo snorted indifferently, he too doesn't want to bother speaking any more nonsense with Jiraiya and Fujin and just wants to resolve these two quickly to force Yama out of hiding.

With such intention, Tendo clapped both his hands and formed a small black orb of incredible energy, and released it towards the sky, 'Chibaku Tensei!'

As soon as, the small black orb was released towards the sky, a gravitational extraction swept over the surroundings.

Jiraiya's face changed upon seeing this Jutsu, and he instantly warned Fujin, "Find a way to get away from it, if you get sucked inside it, it will be over!"

It wouldn't be wrong to say that Jiraiya has a lingering fear of 'Chibaku Tensei' because he has already experienced the horror of this Jutsu the last time the tri-Alliance raided Amegakure. If it weren't for Uchiha Shisui, he and Killer Bee were finished at the time, therefore, Jiraiya is very afraid of Chibaku Tensei and dare not take this Jutsu casually.

Fujin didn't need Jiraiya's reminder, because Fujin understands the true horror of this Jutsu very well… but even then, there was no change in his expression, because he fully understands the weakness of a normal Chibaku Tensei.

With his Byakugan activated, Fujin instantly located the position of the inconspicuous small Black Orb of gravitation energy.

The small black orb of incredible gravitational energy that seems to be shining with a faint fluorescence is the core of Chibaku Tensei, and as long as that core is destroyed, the Jutsu would stop.

But Jiraiya doesn't have Byakugan or any other similar Dojutsu, therefore, he is unable to locate the small Black Orb, and could only shout in panic, "This time the effect of this Jutsu is several times higher compared to the time at Amegakure! It needs to be stopped as soon as possible, otherwise, there is no telling what would be the consequences! Do you have any method to deal with it?"

Although Jiraiya doesn't know the exact reason, he can still feel that the effect of Nagato's Jutsu this time is several times higher compared to the last time Nagato used this Jutsu at Amegakure… Under such tremendous gravitational attraction, even Jiraiya, who was already prepared is unable to put any resistance!
