Chapter 523: Fujin vs Tendo
Chapter 523: Fujin vs Tendo
After successfully transplanting Hashirama Cells, Nagato’s physique has improved by varying degrees and has started to match the physique of Otsutsuki Asura.
After the fusion of the physique of the Senju Clan and the Uzumaki Clan, Nagato not only recovered from his disability caused by the Hanzo, and later by Yama, but his Chakra Reserves have also increased both in quantity and in quality, therefore, all the Jutsu he uses now are much more effective.
Earlier if Nagato used to use powerful Jutsus such as Super Shinra Tensei or Chibaku Tensei, they would be cast at the cost of overdrawing his own life, but now that’s no longer the case, at most there would be heavy chakra consumption and nothing more.
So, if the consumption of Rinnegan’s Visual Prowess is not taken into account, then the large-scale and powerful Jutsu such as Super Shinra Tensei, and Chibaku Tensei can be regarded as ordinary Jutsu for Nagato, especially because he has Gedo Mazo’s Chakra Support with him.
Precisely because of this Jiraiya felt that the Chibaku Tensei used by Tendo this time is much higher compared to the last time at Amegakure, and resisting this Chibaku Tensei is almost next to impossible.
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!” Jiraiya gritted his teeth and roared unwillingly as his body was buried inside the planetary orb.
Similar to Jiraiya, Fujin’s body was also gradually buried inside the planetary Orb, but different from Jiraiya, Fujin was calm and unusual all along, he did not pose any resistance, instead, voluntarily buried himself inside the Planetary Orb as if everything is still under his control.
On the ground, Tendo looked at the huge Planetary Orb in the sky that sealed Jiraiya and Fujin inside it with an indifferent expression. There were no waves on his face, nor any emotional fluctuation, as if what happened was not strange at all, and was taken for granted.
As far as Nagato is concerned, no one can escape from the Chibaku Tensei seal without external help, the moment Chibaku Tensei Seal was completed, the threat of Fujin and Jiraiya was almost resolved, and as long as Nagato manages to prevent others from breaking the Chibaku Tensei Seal from the outside, Jiraiya and Fujin would never be able to break out of the Chibaku Tensei Seal.
So, after dealing with the two ‘hindrances’, Tendo’s gaze shifted towards the Eastern Refugee Shelter where the Asura Path was inexplicably destroyed abruptly.
This time aside from making Konoha Feel Pain through Konoha Collapse Plan, and deal with the Gokage by the way, capturing the Jinchuriki of Kyuubi is also one of the Akatsuki Organization’s goals by the way.
Now that Tendo has confirmed that Uzumaki Naruto, the Jinchuriki of Kyuubi is also hiding in the Eastern Refugee Shelter, so naturally, he wouldn’t let this opportunity pass, and because Tendo suspects that the leader of Amatsukami, Yama is also present in the Eastern Refugee Shelter, therefore, Nagato did not let Tendo go into the refugee personally, after all, the safety of Tendo is very important.
Nagato fully understands that Yama is stronger than Tendo, so if Tendo and Yama were to fight, it would definitely result in the victory of Yama and destruction of Tendo, which is not what Nagato wants to see, therefore, Nagato doesn’t plan to let Tendo personally go inside the Refugee, instead, he plans to directly bring out Uzumaki Naruto outside the Refugee.
With this intention, Tendo stretched out his arms again in the direction of Eastern Refugee.
At the center of Tendo’s palms, a black energy ball started to condense, ‘Chibaku Tens–…’ but before he could complete the Jutsu, the Planetary Orb behind him, which sealed Jiraiya and Fujin inside it suddenly burst out loudly… Boom!
The bursting of Chibaku Tensei was accompanied by several tremors, numerous cracks appeared on the surface of the Planetary Orb, and rubble started to fall off of it.
Obviously, the Chibaku Tensei Seal has started to collapse, and the Planetary Orb is falling apart.
With a frowned expression, Tendo turned his head to look at the Chibaku Tensei as the Black Energy Ball between the palms of his hand faded, “How is this possible?” the indifferent expression of Tendo finally changed, revealing incredible shock, because he could feel that the Seal of Chibaku Tensei Planetary Sphere was not broken through external efforts, instead it collapsed internally! And this greatly shocked him.
In Nagato’s cognition, something like this is absolutely impossible… In the case of no external intervention, the seal of Chibaku Tensei can not be cracked… so once someone is sealed inside the Chibaku Tensei Sphere, escape should be absolutely impossible, this is why Tendo is extremely shocked that someone actually managed to crack the Chibaku Tensei Seal!
As the cracks extended more and more, there was another loud burst, and the Chibaku Tensei Giant Sphere that was already full of cracks suddenly exploded!
Looking at the splashing rocks, rising smoke, and dust, Tendo’s shocked expression changed into a solemn one, as he noticed a figure rushing towards him amidst the splashing rubble.
“Fujin?” after recognizing the identity of the other party, Tendo retreated instantly.
“You can’t escape!” – Fujin chuckled and chased after Tendo.
In the blink of an eye, a close combat battle between Tendo and Fujin started, the two figures fought together, their fists collided producing muffled sounds that shook the eardrums of the onlookers.
Aside from using attractive, repulsive force, along with several other Jutsu, Tendo’s own Taijutsu skills are also extremely strong. In the Cannon, Tendo was able to fight against Naruto in the runaway state, showing incredible speed and power.
And now that the strength of each Pain has increased by at least ten times, so the strength and speed of Tendo are almost horrifying.
Of course, Fujin who already specializes in close combat is not far apart, but because the Fujin Clone is on the verge of collapse, which has severely decreased its strength and speed by varying degrees, so although he still has the upper hand, he is still unable to completely crush Tendo, unlike Hiruko.
As the battle progressed, Fujin frowned, then immediately used one of his strongest Jutsu, ‘Dead Bone Pulse: Dance of the Seedling Fern!’
Whiish Whiish Whiish Whiish Whiish Whiish
With the sound of breaking wind, one after another, bone spears emerged out of the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield was again covered in a Forest of Bones.
With the convenience of being able to travel through bone spears, Fujin directly appeared behind Tendo, and using a Bone Blade, he made a severe cut at Tendo’s Back.
As soon as the Bone Forest appeared on the battlefield, Tendo lost Fujin’s position and fell into a complete passive state, however, his premonition of danger did not disappear… the moment, Fujin appeared behind Tendo to launch a sneak attack, Tendo immediately sensed danger and did not hesitate to once again an enhanced version of ‘Shinra Tensei!’
The huge shock wave swept through Konoha once again, but this time, Tendo’s use of Shinra Tensei was sort of hasty and the power was not half as powerful as the previous Super Shinra Tensei, so although it did not destroy the whole village, even so, the surrounding Bone Forest was instantly destroyed.
Immediately after using the Shinra Tensei, Tendo entered a cooldown state.
In a short period of time, he used Super Shinra Tensei, Chibaku Tensei, and again an enhanced Version of Shinra Tensei one after another, so the consumption was quite a lot, not to mention the last Shinra Tensei was hastily used and caused severe Chakra Consumption that Tendo’s body couldn’t bear, therefore, Tendo seems to have entered its cooldown state.
But looking at the Broken Bone Forest, Tendo still felt that the consumption was worthwhile.
Kacha…
With a faint cracking sound, several cracks on the ground beneath Tendo’s foot appeared.
“This!?” Tendo looked awkward and he wanted to immediately jump away, but at this time, several Bones entangled his legs that didn’t allow him to escape, at the same time, a figure had already broken out of the ground, and the sharp bone blade in Fujin’s hand glowing with cold light immediately slashed towards Tendo.
If this Bone Blade touches Tendo, then without a doubt, Tendo’s body would be divided into two parts along the chest, but there is no way for Tendo to dodge or protect himself… his movements are restricted and he is in a cooldown state.
Nagato immediately tried to reverse summon Tendo, but the reverse summoning Jutsu did not work, the reason is obviously the black Seal markings spread on the body of Tendo that appeared on there at some point during his close combat battle against Fujin.
Seeing the Bone Blade getting closer and closer, Tendo’s face showed a panicked expression… Nagato doesn’t care much about other Paths of Pain, but Tendo which is made out of Yahiko’s body is very important, to him… he can’t allow Tendo to be destroyed… but he doesn’t have a method to save Tendo either.
“No….!”
“Sigh… I guess I will do it for you… do remember that you owe me one!” a voice came, following which, a spiraling vortex appeared behind Tendo and sucked him inside.
Seeing that Tendo was sucked inside the Spiraling Whirl, Fujin wasn’t surprised, instead, he was relieved, and muttered to himself, “Finally found you… Obito!”
