Chapter 151: Nagato's Defeat!

Inside Turtle Island.

Beside the True Waterfall.

Mabui, Yugito, and Samui sat in a pavilion next to the waterfall, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

Mabui and Samui, curious about Yugito's "other half," decided to stay and inquire further while keeping her company.

Although Shishou had no malicious intentions towards Yugito and Killer Bee, only borrowing their chakra, the Fourth Raikage was furious and vowed to make Shishou pay.

In contrast, Mabui saw this as an opportunity to win Shishou over, so she volunteered to stay with Yugito, hoping to discuss cooperation with him if they met again.

Samui stayed as well to keep Yugito company.

"Yugito, why aren't you training at the True Waterfall today?" Samui leaned back lazily in her chair, stretching, with her hands behind her head.

Mabui and Yugito glanced at Samui's impressive figure, feeling self-conscious about their own smaller frames.

Small pets always seemed even smaller next to giant bears...

"I..."

Boom!!!

Yugito was about to speak when the ground began to shake violently, making it hard to stand.

Suddenly, they felt weightless, floating in the air.

"What's happening?" Mabui asked, floating alongside them.

"It must be something wrong with the giant turtle," Samui calmly analyzed.

Hearing this, Yugito instantly entered her Tailed Beast form, using her two tails to wrap around Mabui and Samui while her claws gripped the ground, running towards the outside of Turtle Island.

Outside Turtle Island.

"What the hell is that!!" Juzo Biwa gasped, staring at the colossal shadow cast by Turtle Island.

"It's the Hidden Cloud's Turtle Island. We need to get out of here," Uchiha Itachi explained, urging the stunned Juzo to run away. Given Turtle Island's size and position, if it fell, they would definitely be affected.

Juzo, who had always been friendly to Itachi, didn't want him to die.

The other Akatsuki members, seeing Itachi's actions, quickly followed suit.

"Damn, if we run any farther, we won't be able to see the battlefield..." Kakuzu complained. How many times had they already fled?

"Hah, that's just you. I can still see," Sasori smirked, pulling out the Third Kazekage puppet, spreading its iron wings, and jumping on, flying into the air.

Kakuzu's eyes lit up as he split off his Wind Mask, jumping on and using Wind Release to follow Sasori.

Shinnō, the leader of the Sky Ninja Village, frowned, pulling out a scooter-like ninja tool from a scroll and jumping on.

A few figures appeared behind him—it was the remaining Akatsuki members.

"Heh, we're all comrades here. You don't mind, do you?" Juzo grinned.

Itachi and Kisame stayed silent.

Shinnō's mouth twitched as he sped into the air.

Not far from the battlefield, Uchiha Obito looked at the sky and then vanished into the Kamui dimension.

In midair.

"Did he really contract Turtle Island..." Pakura gaped.

Tsunade, Mei, and the others turned to Pakura.

"He once went to the Hidden Cloud with me to find Turtle Island, claiming he would contract it as a summoning beast," Pakura explained, watching the colossal island fall.

So he said he'd contract Turtle Island, and he actually did it?

Tsunade, Mei, and the others thought in disbelief.

The larger the summoning beast, the more chakra it consumed to summon. With Turtle Island's size, even combining all their chakra wouldn't be enough to summon it.

Seeing Turtle Island's enormous form, Konan's face turned pale as she flew towards the ground where Nagato stood.

Turtle Island itself wasn't a major threat, but falling from such a height, combined with the weight of the mass formed by Chibaku Tensei, made it impossible for anyone to withstand.

"Nagato, surrender," Konan urged, rushing to the pale-faced Nagato.

"No, I haven't lost yet!" Nagato's face was maniacal, eyes wide as he clasped his hands together and poured more chakra into the Chibaku Tensei to stop the giant turtle from falling.

Chibaku Tensei's descent slowed, but the enormous effort caused Nagato to rapidly weaken, blood trickling from his nose.

Half a Chibaku Tensei sphere plus an entire giant turtle was too much to bear.

Nagato wasn't like the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, who could use the Lightened Boulder Jutsu to reduce an object's weight.

Seeing she couldn't persuade him, Konan flew to the top of the giant turtle, finding Shishou standing there.

"Shishou, we surrender. Please dispel the summoning," Konan pleaded, tears in her eyes.

Shishou looked at Nagato, then back at Konan.

"But he doesn't seem to think so."

"Please, I'll do anything you want," Konan begged again.

"The issue isn't with me, it's with him," Shishou pointed at Nagato, feeling helpless.

He didn't want to kill Nagato, knowing that with him, the Akatsuki could become the organization he envisioned, containing and managing rogue elements in the ninja world.

Shishou handed Konan a sealing talisman.

"Stick this on him..."

Before he could finish, space distorted near Nagato as Uchiha Obito appeared, reaching for him.

Shinra Tensei!

Nagato's eyes narrowed, repelling Obito just as he became tangible.

"You've lost. Continuing this will only damage the Gedo Statue," Obito said, stabilizing himself mid-air.

"Nagato!" Konan shouted, rushing to Nagato's side, warily watching Obito.

Meanwhile, Yugito, Mabui, and Samui arrived outside Turtle Island, deactivating her Tailed Beast form. Seeing Shishou, Yugito was shocked.

"What are you doing here?"

Shishou turned to them, equally surprised.

"What are you doing here?"

"What's going on?" Mabui and Samui looked around the battlefield, bewildered.

One moment they were having tea, the next they were in the air.

"Leave this place," Shishou summoned one of the three snake princesses from Ryuchi Cave, Shin Hime, to carry them away.

Yugito glanced at Shishou, biting her lip before trusting him and climbing onto the giant snake.

These two definitely have something going on!

Mabui and Samui exchanged glances, suspiciously eyeing Yugito and Shishou before following her.

"Konan, tell him I'll challenge him again in two years," Nagato said, realizing the fight was lost.

He jumped into the Gedo Statue's mouth, disappearing.

Konan opened her mouth but was left speechless.
