Chapter – 361 Yama vs Pain Rikudo

On Jiraiya and the other's side.

Pain Rikudo, who was buried in the ruins suddenly regained consciousness.

'Shinra Tensei!' – Tendo Pain used this Jutsu to remove all the debris covering them.

Boom…

With an explosive sound, all the debris, and rocks that buried Pain Rikudo were sent flying far away by the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei.

Some distance away, whether it was Jiraiya and Team-11, or the remnants of Kumo unit, or Uchiha Shinichi and Biwa Juzo, everyone noticed this sudden revival of Pain Rikudo.

Kakashi muttered with a solemn expression, "They are active again?"

Jiraiya frowned, "What does Nagato intend to do with these puppets now?"

Toad Fukasaku said, "Whatever it is, be careful Jiraiya boy!"

Shisui also frowned, 'Since a while ago, that giant wooden statue and Golden Sword have been clashing with each other, but why have these puppets started to act again? Could it be that something has gone wrong on Kuroto-san's side?'

Jiraiya said to the others, "We must first deal with these puppets and then figure out the rest of the situation…"

Jiraiya was still in his imperfect Sennin Mode and was ready to deal with those puppets this time for sure.

Similar was the case with the rest of Team-11.

But it appears that Pain Rikudo were not so much interested in dealing with Jiraiya and the others for now. They all looked in the direction of Gedo Mazo, then disappeared.

Poof… Poof… Poof… Poof… Poof… Poof…

Being completely ignored by Pain Rikudo, Jiraiya who was already in his fighting stance suddenly awkward expression, "Uh… Well, that's…"

…

On Yama's side.

'Kuchiyose no Jutsu!'

Poof… Poof… Poof… Poof… Poof… Poof… Poof…

With the surge of white smoke, one after another, seven figures appeared before Nagato.

Yama muttered with a frown, "Hmm… did he even summon her?"

In addition to Pain Rikudo, Nagato even summoned Jinchuriki of Nibi, Nii Yugito.

Was Yama panicked?

Not really! He wasn't panicked in the slightest.

At this time, the sleeves of Pain Rikudo shook slightly and Black Receivers slid down to everyone's hands. The very next instant, Pain Rikudo took on their formation and rushed towards Yama, on the other hand, Nii Yugito who was in a semi liberated state turned around and rushed towards Nagato.

Meanwhile, Gedo Mazo also started another assault at Yama.

Yama thought, 'Does he intends to have her protect himself? Or could it be that he has finally decided to…?'

Although he has already guessed Nagato's purpose, he did not have enough opportunity to stop Nii Yugito.

While Yama parried the heavy punches of Gedo Mazo, Gakido Pain flickered behind him to impale him with Black receivers as well as absorb Yama's Chakra.

Yama instantly controlled one of the five Gudodama to destroy Gakido Pain.

'Kuchiyose no Jutsu!'

Poof…

But the moment Gudodama was about to rip apart the puppet, Tendo Pain appeared before Gakido Pain with a poof of white smoke and stopped Gudodama with a repulsive barrier.

Nagato isn't perfectly aware of what exactly those black things are, but he can feel that those black things floating around Yama are dangerous, and he is not about to let them destroy Pain Rikudo with those Black Orbs.

Yama perceived that it wouldn't be possible to destroy Gakido Pain because of Tendo Pain, so instead of destroying it, he transformed that very Gudodama to make an arched shield behind his back in order to resist the absorption of his Chakra by Gakido Pain as well as other attacks form Gakido and Tendo.

'They can change their shape too?' – Nagato thought as he started to absorb Nibi's Chakra.

Immediately afterward, another Gudodama transformed into a long sphere and rushed towards Ningendo Pain.

'Kuchiyose no Jutsu!'

Poof…

But before it could destroy Ningendo Pain, Ningendo Pain disappeared into a poof of smoke and appeared at another place.

'Damn… Chikushodo Pain (Animal Path), is being a real pain now… I will have to find a way to destroy that one first…!' – Yama thought in irritation.

The moment Yama is about to destroy any one of the Rikudo Pain, it is either summoned away by Chikushodo Pain (Animal Path) or Chikushodo Pain (Animal Path) have Tendo Pain interfere, which has started to get annoying now!

Not to mention, Nagato is stalling Yama with Gedo Mazo and Pain Rikudo and using this opportunity to absorb Chakra from Nibi… which means Nagato now plans to stand up… and this is really not good!

'Let's see… Chikushodo Pain (Animal Path) can summon itself as well as summon other Pains, it should only be capable of doing one thing at once… either it can summon itself or summon another Pain somewhere

Moreover, if I look at the positions of all the Pain, Tendo and Gakido are standing behind me, while Chikushodo (Animal Path), Ningendo (Human Path), Shurado (Asura Path) are surrounding me… And Jigokudo Pain is standing behind…

Jigokudo is too far from the range… and I highly doubt that Nagato would send it closer to me…

Now, If I make an attack with a large area coverage then it should be possible to destroy at least four of the six Pain… leaving Tendo and Jigokudo…

And I know the perfect attack that would work here!

Alright, let's do this!' – with this thought in mind, Yama proceeded for the next move.

He gathered the remaining five Gudodama over the palm of his free hand, then, merged two Gudodama forming a larger Gudodama, and have the other three Gudodama revolve around the first.

Next, he started injecting Tenseigan Chakra into the planetary system (Planetary System: One larger Gudodama, and three smaller ones revolving around the larger one), making it look very similar to Planetary Rasengan.

When Tenseigan Chakra flowed into the Planetary System, the color of each Gudodama changed into Azure, and they also inflated, the central one inflated to the size of a 'Choodama Rasengan', while the other tree inflated to the size of 'Odama Rasengan'.

All this while, his battle with Gedo Mazo and other Pain did not stop… Shurado Pain kept a direct assault of firing missiles after missiles at him, which were dodged rather easily… sometimes a Kage Bushin or two will also support Yama in the battle when the other five Pain start a Taijutsu battle with him… Overall, Yama seems to be in a predicament as Nagato did not leave anything behind to hold of Yama.

Finally, the move he was preparing for was ready, and Yama launched this without any hesitation, 'Azure wheel Reincarnation Explosion!'

(Translator's Note: Since 'Azure wheel Reincarnation Explosion' is not a Jutsu from Canon, and I am not really any knowledgeable of Japanese, so well, I am unable to write it in Japanese.)

As soon as the Jutsu was launched by Yama, it further expanded several times, its range reaching up to several meters… so much so that Yama himself seems to have come under the effect of the Jutsu… but he did not care and let the Jutsu expand.

"This would be the end of Gakido, Shurado, Ningendo, and Chikushodo…" – As Yama spoke so, the Golden Sword disappeared, meanwhile each individual orb continued to expand and instantly engulfed the five Pain.

Inside the massive and turbulent wave-like vortex, Tendo tried to resist with a repulsive barrier but soon found out that the chakra pressure is too chaotic for him to resist this with a repulsive barrier.

'Not good… this Jutsu contains too much Chakra, if Tendo remains in the range then it would definitely be damaged… Looks like I have no other option but to save Tendo while discarding the other four… Sigh, I will have them recovered with Jigokudo…' – Nagato thought and continued.

'Kuchiyose no Jutsu!'

Poof…

The moment, Nagato summoned Tendo Pain.

And then controlled Gedo Mazo to protect them from an offset effect of the Jutsu.

By now, the already chaotic planetary system became more turbulent and soon caused an extremely large explosion.

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!

The explosion was so large that the altitude it covered stretched up to several hundred meters up in the sky and quite deep into the ground as well. But strangely enough, the radius of the explosion was not too large and only stretched up to the radius of only about a hundred meters or so.

The explosion did not escape the eyes of anyone, whether it was Jiraiya and the others rushing here, or Homusubi and Konan in their aerial fight, or at the three battlefields on the outskirts of Amegakure.

"Damn it… just what kind of monsters are fighting there…?"

"Oi oi oi… isn't this a bit too exaggerated… is this even a battle between Shinobi?"

Jiraiya and the others would have literally been blown away by the resulting air pressure if Shisui hadn't protected them with his Susano'o, same was the case with Shinichi and Juzo who were protected by Shinichi's Susano'o.

Each one saw the explosion and was shocked by the effect.

A little while later, the dust cleared…

The first thing that caught Nagato's eyes was a large black sphere suspended in the midair, then he saw four mutilate corpses.

At this time, the Black Sphere suspended in the air opened to reveal Yama who was completely unscathed, and those nine black orbs were again circling behind him.

Nagato himself had absorbed enough of Nibi's Chakra so that he no longer needed to rely on the mechanical walker and was now standing on his own two feet…

Yama frowned, 'Did he already recover?!' – then shook his head, 'No, he is still far from true recovery!'

'Bansho Ten'in!' - Nagato controlled Tendo Pain to pull the corpses of Gakido, Shurado, Ningendo, and Chikushodo.

Yama did not stop him. And while still in mid-air he observed the state of Nagato who was now standing on his own two feet.

On the other hand, after the four corpses were pulled by Tendo Pain, he plunged them into King of Hell's mouth in order to resurrect them.

But even after waiting for so long, nothing came out of the mouth of King of Hell, which even made Nagato extremely shocked, he broke away from the staring contest with Yama and looked at King of Hell to see what exactly was going on.

Yama said with a chuckle, "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…"
