I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 130 Who hasn't fantasized about suddenly having a distant relative leave them a billion-dollar inheritance?

In the Senju clan's territory, Tsunade looked at her disciple who dared not sit down and was a little puzzled. After all, Tatsuma was never a reserved person, so why was he so hesitant to even sit down today?

Minato and Kushina, who knew the truth, were trying hard to suppress their laughter. Tsunade frowned in displeasure and asked, "Are you sure you want to stand here and listen?"

Chenma nodded and said, "Yes, I'll stand. You are all my teachers and elders, it would be impolite for you to sit together."

"Pfft~ Ahahaha~"

Kushina finally couldn't hold back her laughter and burst into loud laughter. Even Minato lowered his head deeply, his shoulders shaking. Tsunade and the other two were increasingly puzzled and dissatisfied.

Being late is bad enough, but now they're causing all sorts of trouble. Don't they know that with the mission about to begin, every second counts?

"What on earth happened?!"

Tsunade's voice carried a hint of anger. Tatsuma glanced at Orochimaru and Jiraiya, who both looked equally puzzled, gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and, suppressing his shame, truthfully said:

"I've been experiencing constipation and some localized discomfort lately, so I don't want to sit."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade and Orochimaru's faces were filled with black lines, while Jiraiya, after a brief moment of stunned silence, slapped his thigh and burst into laughter, laughing even more unrestrainedly than Kushina, which also left Tatsuma with black lines on his face.

Didn't you take your medicine?

"Eating it won't do any good."

Tatsuma certainly wouldn't allow himself to remain constipated, but it seemed the oral medication had all its nutrients drained and become part of the charcoal stick; the external medication might still have some effect, but...

If Shuimen doesn't deliver it and he buys it himself, then he might have less of a psychological barrier.

Tsunade frowned, shook her head, and didn't want to pursue the matter. Just as she was about to get down to business, Orochimaru, still frowning, suddenly asked, "Is it because of the recent changes in your body?"

Although Tsunade was the one who performed the physical examination on Tatsuma, Orochimaru was actually the most interested in Tatsuma's changes, but his status prevented him from getting involved.

He had asked Tsunade before, but Tsunade said that Tatsuma's body was perfectly normal, so he put his question aside for the time being.

However, it seems that Tatsuma's body is having problems now. Although it's just a minor issue like constipation, something is definitely wrong. Tatsuma didn't have this problem even when he was taking soldier pills for several months before.

After returning to Konoha and resuming a normal diet, he became constipated, which was clearly abnormal. His golden eyes kept scanning Tatsuma's body, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.

He had previously conducted analysis and research on Tatsuma and Minato, and at that time, there were no problems with their blood samples, nor were there any traces of their bloodline limits.

Tatsuma and Minato had never displayed any characteristics of a ninja clan, so he assumed they were just talented commoners. However, after a year of observation and occasional interactions, he was astonished by their talent.

But all of this has changed recently. Tatsuma's chakra has suddenly increased, which is almost impossible. Moreover, Tatsuma's progress is faster than that of Minato, who is also a genius of the same generation. In some aspects, he is much faster.

This strange and astonishing change made him want to study Tatsuma's body sample again. The previous study found no trace of bloodline limit in either of them, nor any characteristics of certain ninja clans.

However, some ninja clans do not have distinctive characteristics, or rather, their characteristics are not obvious. For example, the ninja clan that is her teammate and shares the same bloodline does not have obvious characteristics, but Orochimaru is reluctant to bring it up.

At this moment, Tsunade also realized what was happening under Orochimaru's prompting. She looked at Tatsuma with scrutiny again and muttered to herself.

"Could it really be a mistake that Second Grandfather made when he was young? After all, judging by his age, Second Grandfather wouldn't have had time to directly create this kid. Could it be that Second Grandfather, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes... no, Second Grandfather doesn't have thick eyebrows, and his eyes aren't big either?"

Tsunade suddenly shook her head, shaking off the gossip and speculation about her great-uncle, and said, "When we get back from this mission, I'll give you another check-up, Orochimaru. I might need your help then."

"It is an honor."

Before Tatsuma could even speak, Orochimaru eagerly agreed. Looking at Orochimaru, whose eyes seemed to be shining, Tatsuma suddenly felt a chill.

Jiraiya and Kushina both suppressed their smiles and, like Minato, glanced at Tatsuma with considerable concern. They could tease Tatsuma, but if something were really wrong with his health, they would be worried too.

Tatsuma quickly waved his hand and said, "Maybe it's just a change in environment, or maybe I've been eating too much ice cream lately, or maybe it's some kind of medical checkup."

"It's better to get it checked out thoroughly. Your body is the most important treasure a person can have, Tatsuma."

Orochimaru interrupted Tatsuma, looking at him with a smile. Tatsuma's lips twitched as he recalled Orochimaru's later practice of treating his body as a disposable resource in the original work.

I wonder if Orochimaru will go and pay homage to his former body?

A strange idea suddenly popped into Tatsuma's mind, but he quickly suppressed these irrelevant thoughts and stopped offering any objections.

He wasn't too resistant to the physical examination, since he knew that the changes in his body didn't come from changes in his bloodline or lineage, but rather from the activation of some hidden talents that provided additional amplification.

However, even if others possess the same hidden talent, the discovery process should be gradual, not a direct leap like his, which is why it seems so different.

Moreover, Tsunade said she would have a physical examination after the mission was over, and by then, his constipation might have been resolved.

After all, Chenma could guess that his body's condition was temporary. To put it abstractly, it was like the cells' original container for storing chemical energy was a medium cup, but now it had been replaced with an extra-large cup, and the empty part needed to be filled.

However, once the food is filled, and without a significant change in expenditure, Chenma's energy intake will return to its previous level, preventing the food from being completely drained of energy and turned into carbon sticks.

The only problem is that we're about to leave the village, and once we're outside, there won't be any toilets for him to sit on for so long.

Seeing that Tatsuma was no longer stubbornly objecting, Tsunade returned to the main topic, saying, "This time, on our mission to the Land of Iron, we..."

Tsunade began to explain the details of this mission and discuss diplomatic strategies. Tatsuma couldn't participate in these discussions, as he was truly only at a basic level of political establishment when it came to diplomacy.

If he were to go, he could only say things like "Don't say we didn't warn you" based on some diplomacy-related videos he had seen in his previous life, but these words were clearly not appropriate for the Land of Iron.

Tatsuma was truly clueless about persuading the Land of Iron to send troops, unless the leader of the Land of Iron had a shrewish wife and a bunch of adopted sons and godsons, in which case he could put on a show for the Pearl Curtain Village.

However, when Orochimaru discussed economic support and preferential treatment, and Tsunade and Jiraiya were completely unable to keep up with the jokes, Tatsuma actually managed to exchange a few words with Orochimaru in a very professional manner.

However, they did not have the authority to make decisions in this regard, so they could only discuss a general direction and leave it to the higher-ups to make specific plans.

The discussion lasted until dinner time before they finally ended it. Kushina, who had been eager to join in the fun, had already run off to find Mito Uzumaki, and even Minato started to drift off during the meeting.

After dinner, Tatsuma was about to leave with Minato, but Jiraiya patted Minato on the shoulder and said, "Minato, you're coming with me tonight. I have something to teach you."

Tsunade also looked at Tatsuma and said, "You're staying here tonight too."

Tatsuma and Minato exchanged a glance, then nodded to their respective teachers. They had a pretty good idea of ​​what it was about; it was just teaching them things that might be useful in the upcoming mission.

Previously, the two studied together, but recently their paths have become less intersecting, and their progress has deepened into their respective areas of expertise in chakra nature transformation. As a result, they have started to learn different things, which is why they are being taught separately.

However, Tatsuma was still a little curious, wondering what Tsunade could teach him—was it techniques for using superhuman strength? After all, Tatsuma couldn't imagine what Tsunade could teach him.

After Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Minato left, Tsunade and Mito Uzumaki led Tatsuma to a study. It wasn't the study that Mito Uzumaki usually used, but another one that seemed to have been sealed off for many years.

"Squeak~"

Pushing open the door, a shrill sound and a slight musty smell reached Tatsuma's senses. He became even more curious, since the place looked... well, he couldn't see anything; it was pitch black.

But I always felt it was something extraordinary.

Tsunade turned on the room light, which was very dim and flickered from time to time, clearly indicating that it had been in disrepair for many years. Tsunade muttered, "You'll have to renovate this place sometime. I don't trust anyone else."

Realizing that the message was directed at him, Tatsuma nodded. He was inferior to native ninjas in many other areas of knowledge, but he was skilled in water and electricity! That was a skill he had been taught since he could remember in his previous life, and he had often handed his father electric pens and screwdrivers.

Mito Uzumaki arrived at the center of the study, looked around with a touch of nostalgia, and said, "This is Tobirama's study. Apart from some forbidden techniques and taboos, all his other ninjutsu, insights, and notes are here."

"That row contains Water Release techniques, and this row contains Earth Release techniques. These two are the most numerous. Back then, he devoted a lot of effort to studying Hashirama's Wood Release. You'll have to search through the other techniques; he didn't organize them properly. This wealth is now yours."

Tatsuma was somewhat moved. It was very fitting that Mito Uzumaki considered these things as a treasure. There were a large number of ninjutsu scrolls, not to mention the notes of the forbidden technique master Tobirama Senju. However, Tatsuma was speechless for a moment when asked to inherit them.

His mind was still reeling, but his hand had already reached out unconsciously, picked up a scroll beside him, and gently rolled it, trying to open it.

"Bang!"

Chenma was suddenly sent flying backward, crashing out of the study. He was covered in fluorescent dye, which made him shine brightly in the darkness.

At this moment, Mito Uzumaki's voice came from inside: "Ahem~ I forgot to mention, I personally sealed all these scrolls. You'll have to learn how to unseal them first."

Outside the door, Tatsuma, transformed into a glowing green figure, held a scroll covered in sealing techniques, his lips and eyes twitching. For some reason, he felt that Mito Uzumaki was trying to suppress a laugh.

"Hahaha~ I knew this kid couldn't resist. He even dared to befriend the Uchiha clan in order to learn Fire Release, not to mention his second grandfather's notes and notes."

Tsunade was much more unrestrained.
