Chapter – 362 Demonic Illusion

"It's futile… they are not going to be restored by 'King of Hell' if you want them back… then you will have to use other corpses to recreate them…"

Hearing Yama's words, coupled with the fact that King of Hell gradually disappeared, Nagato's frown tightened… he did not expect that the damage would be so serious…

Nagato again controlled Jigokudo to summon King of Hell to see what the hell is happening, only to see that King of Hell is working perfectly based on the Chakra reaction he perceived, but the corpses of the four Pain were not being resurrected… something was hindering them from being repaired…

'His Jutsu is interfering in the recovery…? But why?' – Nagato thought.

At this time Jiraiya and the others also rushed to where Yama and Nagato were.

They noticed two people, two puppets, and two beasts standing on the field.

On one side were, a red hair person with many black rods embedded all over his body, two Pain puppets with Rinnegan, and finally two beasts, one being the giant wooden one, while the other is a two-tailed blue cat.

On the other side stood one lone person, wearing a cloak with several prints on it and a mask. His body was again covered in some sort of Cyan Chakra Cloak. This Cyan Chakra Cloak although had gentle chakra, the pressure it was emitting in the surroundings was nothing to scoff at. Then there were nine black orbs circling at his back.

"Jiraiya boy, who is that person?" – Fukasaku wondered in amazement.

Jiraiya also frowned, he was not so sure. This is the first time he has seen this individual… "He is not part of the tri-Alliance… he is…"

Uchiha Shisui said with a thoughtful expression, "If I am not wrong, his description matches the leader of Amatsukami… Yama, yes, he is definitely Yama."

Everyone heard Shisui's words and can't help but nod. Although the cloak and mask are covered in the Cyan Chakra Cloak, making it difficult to give a clear analysis, however, the design on the cloak, and the pattern on the mask clearly match that of Yama's.

"And that red hair boy…? He also has the same Rinnegan…!" – Shima questioned.

Jiraiya turned to look at the Red-hair boy. This time he was undeniably sure that it was, "Nagato…"

"Nagato? The one who is controlling all the puppets? Are you sure that this time he is the right one?" – Fukasaku questioned.

Jiraiya nodded with a solemn expression, "He is indeed the child whom I believed to be the Child of Prophecy, Nagato… The child with the Rinnegan from the legends of Rikudo Sennin…"

Kakashi wondered, "There are only two of those puppets present here… what happened to the rest? Were they sent somewhere else or are they killed by him?"

Kuroto answered, "Most likely to have been killed… I can see some corpses inside the mouth of that thing… and they are most likely those same puppets…"

Jiraiya couldn't have been more shocked… but when he thought about it, and considering just how vast the damage around this area is… did it seem reasonable? But even if that is the case, he is surprised, those six puppets were able to single-handedly everyone on his side… but was single-handedly killed by the leader of Amatsukami…!

On the other hand, Kumo shinobi were somewhat cheerful upon noticing the Nibi… it meant that Nii Yugito was still alive and fighting.

"Thank goodness Yugito-sama is safe…"

"We have to help her in the battle…"

"Confronting both the leader of Akatsuki and Amatsukami at the same time couldn't have been that easy… It's a blessing that Yugito-sama managed somehow."

Hearing the cheerful words of Kumo Jonins, Kakashi frowned, 'Was she really fighting against those two? Why do I feel that's not the case here?'

While all this was going on, Nagato and Yama both were staring at each other… they did not pay much attention to the arrival of the tri-Alliance or Akatsuki members.

Caw… caw… caw…

Paper Fluttering… Paper Fluttering… Paper Fluttering…

At the same time, the cawing of crows and fluttering of papers can be seen and heard in the sky above them…

This was none other than Homusubi and Konan, who were also fighting against each other.

Guy rubbed his eyes when he saw paper and crows fighting each other, "Am I the only one seeing this?"

Kakashi, Kuroto, and Shisui shook their heads and said, "No you are not… There sure are some weird people with strange Jutsu here…"

Guy said, "But all that aside… I did not expect Amatsukami to suddenly attack the Akatsuki Organization."

Kakashi nodded, "Fortunately, these two organizations are not collaborating, else…" – Kakashi did not finish his words, but everyone here was able to understand the implication of that 'if'.

Shinichi who stood on the other side whispered to Juzo, "What do you think we should do?"

Juzo sighed, "I am not sure if we can participate in the battle of this level… It would be best to stay on the sidelines and let Pain or whoever he truly is deal with the leader of Amatsukami…"

Shinichi's eyes flickered at Juzo's words. He was wondering if he should help Yama (Kuroto) to completely eliminate true Pain (Nagato)… but when he looked at Gedo Mazo, he felt somewhat unsure…

He wasn't sure why, but his instincts were telling him that Gedo Mazo is not something he can deal with so easily… 'Perhaps I can help him to keep the Jinchuriki of Nibi in check, at least with one less enemy to deal with he may be able to kill Pain. But should I…? It doesn't seem that he requires any assistance… So, should I?'

After a while of observation, Jiraiya felt that both Yama and Nagato seem to be at a stalemate… And they seem to be waiting for the other party's first move…

Moreover, they aren't paying much attention to the others in the surroundings.

'This is the best opportunity to deal with both of them… if this opportunity is missed then who knows if it will be possible to deal with such powerful individuals…' – Jiraiya thought then whispered to Kuroto and Guy, "Hyuga Kuroto and Might Guy… at my signal, rush towards Nagato… and...… kill him!"

Kuroto and Guy couldn't understand what exactly Jiraiya intended, but they nodded. If anything can kill the leader of the Akatsuki Organization, then they are on board with it, whatever it might be!

Then Jiraiya turned to whisper to Kakashi and Shisui, "Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui… at my signal, rush towards Yama… and Kill him immediately!"

Kakashi and Shisui also saw the seriousness of Jiraiya's expression, and nodded, "Understood, Jiraiya-sama!"

This short conversation between Jiraiyaand the four members of the team-11 was not heard by anyone other than the five of them and the two toads.

As per Jiraiya's instructions, both Shisui and Kakashi got ready.

Next, Jiraiya leaped high and shouted, "Boss, ma'am... let's start!"

Fukasaku and Shima nodded

Fukasaku and Shima immediately nodded, their throat immediately swelled and loud croaking sounds were heard, 'Croak… croak… croak… croak…' - the target of the croaking was Nagato and Yama.

'Croak… croak… croak… croak…'

'Croak… croak… croak… croak…'

'Croak… croak… croak… croak…'

'Croak… croak… croak… croak…'

'Croak… croak… croak… croak…'

'Ugh… Why did he have to go and use this… one Nagato is already a problem, and now this.' – Yama sighed.

'Magen: Gama Rinsho!' (Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant!) is a Senjutsu enhanced Genjutsu. Where the Genjutsu is cast using Sound as a medium, which means that the visual prowess of both Rinnegan and Tenseigan are useless against this Genjutsu…

As the croaking of toads intensified, Yama found himself inside a Genjutsu space that looked similar to the stomach of a toad.

At this time, he was surrounded by four Samurai toads who pushed their one hand each and sealed him inside a barrier.

Of course, Yama was not the only one who was trapped.

Nagato was also in the same situation as him, as he was also affected by this Genjutsu.

Trapped inside the small Genjutsu world, Yama and Nagato faced each other with a bit of awkwardness.

Nagato said to Jiraiya, "Jiraiya-sensei… I did not expect that you can still use such a Genjutsu…"

At this time, Jiraiya appeared on top of the head of one of the Samurai Toads and spoke, "Nagato, this is the end, there is no escape from here… However, I still believe that you are the Child of Prophecy. If you are willing to turn over a new leaf, willing to correct your errored ways and atone for all you have done… I am willing to give you one chance."

Jiraiya still does not want to give up on Nagato.

However, contrary to what Jiraiya has hoped, Nagato was not panicked In the slightest, and said indifferently, "Jiraiya-sensei… my conviction for the kind of world peace I desire is unbreakable… there is no going back from the path that I have taken…"

Jiraiya sighed. Killing his own disciple is very painful for him… but if Jiraiya has to make a choice between Nagato and Konoha, then it can only be Konoha.

Disappointed, Jiraiya looked in the direction of Yama and said, "Yama, the mysterious leader of Amatsukami… for trying to disrupt the peace between Konoha and Kumo, as well as kidnapping and killing of Jonin Watanabe of Kumo, and Jonin Uchiha Hideki and Uchiha Ryota of Konoha… as well as, several other crimes… you will be executed here…"

Yama chuckled, "If you think you can do it… then why don't you try."
