Chapter – 553 Opportunity Appears?

Back to the battlefield.

After figuring out that the two vague 'things' trying to attack him are 'Limbo Clones', Yama frowned slightly, not because he was afraid, but because he understood that 'Limbo Border!' is a very tricky Dojutsu.

In the cannon, Uchiha Madara was not only able to easily defeat all the nine Bijuu at the same time with just one Limbo Clone, but he was also able to nearly kill EMS Uchiha Sasuke as if merely playing around.

The disparity that just one Limbo Clone of Madara brought to the Shinobi Alliance was too much, and he was totally unstoppable by any means, and Rikudo Sennin had to come out in person to help bring Sasuke and Naruto back to life and give them his own chakra to level up the strength disparity.

In fact, even after Sasuke and Naruto obtained the Six Path Yin and Yang Chakra, they were still vulnerable to the Limbo Clones and couldn't gain any advantage over Madara.

Although Sasuke could see the Limbo Clones with his Six-Tomoe Rinnegan, he was unable to attack them as normal physical attacks are completely useless on the Limbo Clones, while even though Naruto was able to sense them and had the means to attack the Limbo Clones because of having mastered the Six-Path Senjutsu, his strength was not strong enough to be able to kill them.

Obviously, the current Nagato's Limbo Clones are not as strong as the Limbo Clones used by the Juubi Madara, as can be seen from the fact that one of them turned into dust upon being attacked by Yama's 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!', they are still very difficult to be dealt with, and have sufficient power to be able to hurt Yama if they use their numerical advantage against him

While Yama was pondering how to deal with Nagato's Limbo Clones, a spiral whirl appeared out of thin air and created a big hole in the spherical shell that was protecting Yama from Nagato's Limbo Clones.

The moment Yama discovered the hole in the spherical shell made up of Truth-Seeking Orbs, he can't help but curse inwardly, 'Damn it, Obito… did you really have to interfere at this time!'

Although annoyed, Yama wasn't slow to act, and immediately reformed the Truth-Seeking Orb that was used to create the Spherical Shell, into two rods.

Although Truth-Seeking Orbs are invulnerable to almost all kinds of attacks thus creating perfect defence below the Six Path level, space-time, especially the ones like Kamui that literally tear a gap in space can still bypass that defence.

And knowing that 'Madara' has also joined this side of the battle, passive defence against Nagato and his Limbo Clones is no longer meaningful… so Yama can only go with the offence, after all, as they say, 'the best defence is a good offence' and Yama certainly intends to follow this saying.

Immediately after getting out of the defence of Truth-Seeking Orbs, Yama flew to a higher altitude where Nagato or his Limbo Clones won't be able to attack him immediately, then used an extremely powerful Bansho Ten'in on 'Madara'.

Instantly, an extremely powerful attractive force acted on 'Madara' who was hidden and trying to help Nagato then dragged him all the way towards Yama.

While 'Madara' was being attracted towards him under the control of Bansho Ten'in, Yama transformed one of the Truth-Seeking Orbs floating behind him into dozens of Black Chakra Receivers, then infused his Tenseigan Chakra into them and threw them towards 'Madara' while muttering, "Now let me Obito… Can you still use Izanagi to cheat death with Black Receivers disturbing your chakra?"

The Black Receivers were extremely fast, and instantly several of them pierced through incoming Madara's body. Yama made sure to avoid piercing Madara's vital organs as his target was not to kill 'Madara' but to stop his interference in the battle, for a very good reason, of course.

Zetsu who was been hiding all this while saw this and realized that it was not good… Normally, killing 'Madara' is not that big of a problem for him because 'Madara' can use Izanagi to change that reality, but with black receivers piercing his body, his Chakra will be disrupted and he will not even be able to move much less using Kamui or Izanagi, so Zetsu could no longer stay still and had to make a move in order to protect 'Madara' from dying and getting his eyes poached.

As Yama continued to drag 'Madara' towards him, suddenly countless tree branches that could absorb Chakra broke out of the ground and tried to bind Yama.

"Huh... now someone has started to think that even these weak tree branches can stop me?" Yama chuckled lightly in disdain, all while changing the shape of another Truth-Seeking Orb floating behind him into that of a rod, then used that rod to cut all those tree branches.

But of course, Zetsu wasn't going to give up so easily, and the tree branches continued to come towards Yama.

Although those tree branches weren't really threatening to him, having to continue to cut them repeatedly was still a bit annoying for Yama…

And as if that wasn't enough already, even Nagato's Limbo Clones used the growing tree branches as a foothold and attacked him from the two sides.

With the interference of Nagato's Limbo Clones, Yama had to stop using Bansho Ten'in on 'Madara'.

…

P.O.V. Change…

The moment Yama stopped Bansho Ten'in on Madara to fight against Nagato's Limbo Clones, the original Nagato suddenly appeared beside 'Madara', as if teleporting, then removed all the Chakra Receivers piercing him.

Since Nagato can also create Chakra Receivers using because of his Rinnegan, therefore, he is able to touch the Chakra receivers piercing Madara without his chakra getting disrupted.

Seeing Nagato helping him Madara said sarcastically, "I did not expect that you would go out of your way to help me… Nagato."

Nagato didn't care about Madara's sarcastic tone, and said indifferently, "You are part of the Akatsuki… and this time I did it to repay the favour of saving Tendo… that's all."

'Madara' was silent upon hearing Nagato's answer, then as he got up again, he said to Nagato, "Still though… Yama is really strong, like really-really strong… can you defeat him, because if you can't then our plan of capturing all the nine Bijuu in order to revive Juubi will become very difficult in the future…"

Nagato nodded lightly, then said, "I will defeat him… for sure, but if I can't, I will at least be able to keep all his attention on me… you can use that opportunity to try removing his head off his body using that Space-Time Jutsu of yours."

'Madara' nodded lightly with Nagata's so-called plan and disappeared into a spiral whirl in order to wait for the so-called opportunity to appear.

With 'Madara' gone, Nagato again got ready to fight Yama, and seeing Nagato getting ready to fight him, Zetsu also stopped his almost useless harassment and hid away.

…

P.O.V Change…

On Yama's side.

"Tch… so he managed to get rid of them with Nagato's help!" – Yama clicked his tongue in annoyance as he dodged yet another attack from Nagato's Limbo Clones.

Of course, Yama made sure to keep a track of 'Madara' on the battlefield to avoid getting his body suddenly getting cut off because of Kamui. Then focused his attention back on Nagato's Limbo Clones.

'If I want to kill Nagato's Limbo Clones, I will need to use 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion', just using Truth-Seeking Orbs wouldn't be enough to kill them in one shot… but even if I kill them, Nagato will be able to re-create them after some time… I don't know exactly how long it will take for him to re-create them, but he will be able to do so… and I am not sure if I will be able to kill Nagato in less than that time…

So, to deal with Nagato, I will need to use a Sealing Jutsu on the clones… the sealing Jutsu would bind the Limbo Clone's movements for the duration of the battle.

Of course, while sealing the movements of Nagato's Limbo Clones, I have to make sure to do it in such a manner that Nagato won't be able to swap positions with his Limbo Clone in the middle of the battle, as he did the last time.

To do so, I think using a Truth-Seeking Orb infused with Tenseigan Chakra as the core would be the best choice, as the moment Nagato chooses to swap position with his sealed Limbo Clone, he will come in direct contact with Truth-Seeking Orb and immediately disintegrate. Then for the seal, I will add a Cursed Seal that I created after observing Shukaku's Natural Cursed Seal Markings… This should be enough to keep the Limbo Clone sealed…'

After having understood the exact Jutsu that Nagato is using, Yama would obviously not be as restrained as before, so although he was still facing two Limbo Clones, his face under the mask remained unchanged, and he continued to make preparations while waiting for an opportunity to show up which he would be able to use to seal Nagato's Limbo Clones.

"Now's the time!"
