I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 175 Some people's politeness is to smile even when they are sad.

When Tatsuma channeled his Wind Release chakra into the Rasengan, everyone sensed something was wrong, and Kushina's unease resurfaced.

She imitated Tsunade, shielding Minato behind her. Minato looked helpless, but he couldn't say anything at the moment. He just peeked out and looked in Tatsuma's direction.

As the person involved, Tatsuma naturally knew that something was wrong. The Rasengan, which had finally found a balance point, was now like a dam suddenly bursting open.

The piercing sound caused severe tinnitus, which even caused Tatsuma to lose focus for a moment. It was because of this momentary lapse in concentration that he lost the best opportunity to control the Rasengan.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~"

Blood mist suddenly spurted from Chenma's right arm, and his skin peeled off like a potato being peeled, with drops of blood oozing out.

The spilled blood was instantly pulverized into a blood mist.

"Tatsuma!"

Kato Danichi frowned, and in a swift motion, his spirit detached from his physical body and charged towards Tatsuma.

"Snap!"

Tatsuma fell to the ground, and the chakra that had been continuously flowing in to maintain the Rasengan suddenly stopped. The Rasengan, deprived of its chakra supply, was severely twisted and deformed, but it still had no choice but to disappear.

"Hiss~"

Once he regained consciousness, Tatsuma gripped his right forearm with his left hand and clenched his teeth. The pain, which felt as if every cell—no, every single cell—was damaged, was unbearable even for someone who had trained for several years.

"Spiritual communication!"

Upon seeing the Rasengan disappear, Tsunade quickly summoned a slug. After appearing, the slug climbed directly onto Tatsuma's arm without Tsunade's command.

The slug's special chakra greatly relieved Tatsuma's pain. He breathed a sigh of relief, his body was no longer tense, and he even had a moment to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"This technique is far too dangerous; don't try it again."

Jiraiya said very seriously that even he felt a tremor in his heart from that power just now. It was a feeling of anticipation of danger, just like that day in the cave when Orochimaru stabbed him with a kunai.

Tatsuma knew that the Rasengan should be used in conjunction with Sage Mode, but he was confident in his control over chakra and chose to try it. Unexpectedly, he was still too arrogant.

But he quickly shook his head and said, "No, this technique might not be impossible."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade, Kato Dan, and the others frowned, wanting to offer some words of comfort, but Tatsuma spoke first before they could:

"As long as I can increase my body's healing speed, as long as my self-healing speed is higher than the rate at which this damages the body, then it will not cause me any harm."

Tsunade shook her head and retorted directly, "That kind of medical ninjutsu comes at too high a price, and besides, you can't learn it yet."

Tsunade thought Tatsuma was referring to her Creation Regeneration Technique, but Tatsuma was thinking of another medical ninjutsu, one that had not yet been created.

Moreover, the cost of that technique is much lower than creation and regeneration; that technique is Kabuto Yakushi's Yin Healing and Destruction.

By treating the areas that will be injured beforehand with medical ninjutsu, the chakra will quickly heal the body when the area is actually injured.

It may not be as powerful as Creation Regeneration, but it is low-cost, highly controllable, and according to Tatsuma's estimation, this technique is also sufficient to be used in conjunction with the Rasenshuriken.

Moreover, this technique can not only be used in conjunction with the Rasenshuriken, but the Kabuto is used to predict the opponent's attack. It seems like he is exchanging injury for injury, but he has already prepared a self-healing method.

With Chenma's current computing speed and computational capacity, he is also capable of doing the same thing.

However, as a new technique, the development of Yin Healing and Destruction has many difficulties to overcome, such as storing special chakra in a certain part of the body.

After chakra is refined, it is constantly consumed with physical activity and the passage of time. The body's ability to store chakra is not very good. Even if Yin Healing and Destruction only need to be paused for a short time, a method still needs to be found.

There is also special medical chakra. The chakra of medical ninjutsu is actually converted from ordinary chakra using techniques and hand seals. Unlike ninjutsu chakra, it cannot be directly extracted from the body.

Therefore, the whole process involves refining chakra, performing the technique, converting it into medical chakra, storing it in the body, and finally waiting for it to take effect after an injury.

Unlike the Rasengan which he secretly trained for a long time before finally obtaining it openly today, Yin Yushang Mie Tatsuma had not tried to research it before, since this technique requires too much medical knowledge.

He is quite lacking in this area.

"It's not your technique, teacher. I want to develop a new medical ninjutsu."

Tatsuma shook his head and said seriously to Tsunade, "Sensei, I need some medical books about the connection between cells and chakra. Do you have any?"

"have!"

Tsunade answered without hesitation, then glanced at Tatsuma and said, "You've figured it out?"

"It's limited to developing this technique."

Tatsuma shook his head again, and Tsunade snorted and said nothing more.

After a long silence, Mito Uzumaki finally spoke up, saying, "Wind Release chakra is for cutting, and using it with this technique is too dangerous. You could try using other chakra attributes."

Tatsuma nodded. The Rasengan can incorporate other chakra natures, and it's not limited to the Five Elements Release techniques. As long as it's energy, the Rasengan can be incorporated into it.

The reason he chose to use Wind Release to try to create a Rasengan was because this technique has a partial training process, but he failed.

What he conjured couldn't even be called a Rasengan; it was even inferior to the Wind Release: Rasengan, which is between the Rasengan and the Rasengan, since the Wind Release: Rasengan can also deliver a stable output.

As for other chakra attributes, Tatsuma knew of a few, such as the Great Flame Rasengan which incorporates fire chakra, and the Divine Concealment Rasengan which incorporates lightning chakra, etc.

There are even more advanced Rasengan techniques used by Naruto during the Fourth Shinobi World War, but Tatsuma couldn't replicate them even if he wanted to.

Even with a Rasengan incorporating the five elements of chakra, Tatsuma was still lacking in skill. Apart from the Rasenshuriken, he had almost no experience in training other Rasengan techniques.

Boruto's Hidden Rasengan still has a little bit of training going on, but unfortunately Tatsuma doesn't have Lightning Release chakra.

Everything can only be learned through self-study. The path of Wind Release, which I am most proficient in, is not easy to take for the time being, so I will use Water Release as the next best option!

Tatsuma's favorite chakra nature transformations are Fire Release and Earth Release, and his best chakra nature transformations are Wind Release. However, in terms of chakra nature transformation training, Wind Release and Water Release are more advanced.

The other ways to make the dumpling are, to put it simply, a combination of chakra control, chakra shape transformation, and chakra nature transformation.

Thinking this, Chenma suddenly opened his left hand, his right hand was wrapped in a slug and could not be used.

"Hey! Tatsuma, don't cause any trouble!"

Seeing Tatsuma frown in thought, and then suddenly raise his hand, Jiraiya was startled. Just as he was about to stop him, he discovered that what appeared in Tatsuma's hand was not the Rasengan, but water!

To be precise, it is chakra that creates water; chakra creating water out of thin air is a standard for measuring the level of mastery of water-attribute chakra nature transformation.

Tatsuma's ability to create water with chakra without using hand seals demonstrates his mastery of Water Release techniques, which is comparable to some Jonin who can use Water Release.

Unlike other ninjas who train in a piecemeal fashion, filling in gaps as needed, Tatsuma represents modular training. He no longer needs to use advanced chakra control, form transformation, or nature transformation.

However, Tatsuma knew this was a required course, so he focused on training even before he needed it excessively, which led to his current achievements.

"The art of water dungeons?"

As Jiraiya watched the water sphere in Tatsuma's hand grow larger and larger, he was somewhat puzzled, but it didn't quite seem like it. After all, a water sphere without any hand seals or spells wouldn't have the binding effect of a water prison technique; it was just a water sphere.

"Splash~ Splash~"

Suddenly, the water sphere began to spin, sinking in the center and rising around the edges. Its shape changed from spherical to tornado-like, and it could no longer be called "jade".

"Tatsuma-kun, would you like to take a test?"

Kato Dan looked at the water tornado in Tatsuma's hand and asked, but Tatsuma shook his head and said, "It's just a slight change in form. The characteristics of water chakra and the Rasengan are not compatible."

Mito Uzumaki seemed to realize something, her eyes widening slightly as she said, "Tobirama developed a technique that allows one to move freely in water. To achieve this, he researched methods to change the viscosity of water."

Upon hearing this, Tatsuma's eyes lit up. He dispersed the water tornado in his hand. The water created by his chakra disappeared without a trace before it even hit the ground, showing none of the uncontrollability that came with the wind-style chakra he had just infused.

Tatsuma stood up and was about to walk towards his now-own study when Jiraiya stopped him, saying, "Don't you want these scrolls anymore?"

These are

Chenma slapped his forehead with his left hand, realizing what had happened. At the same time, he felt a little helpless. He had inadvertently started too many development projects. It seemed he would be busy for the next while.

Moreover, if nothing else happened, it would be fine, but we are currently in wartime, and we don't know when we will be drafted to the front lines.

Seeing Tatsuma's troubled expression, Mito Uzumaki smiled and shook her head, saying, "You're still young, you have plenty of time."

Chenma then realized that he had indeed been pushing himself too hard compared to his peers, and that he needed to calm down and focus on some things.

Tsunade then checked Tatsuma's right hand and, seeing that it was recovering quite well, she smiled and said, "Yeah, let's go eat some barbecue! Sensei gave in today!"

"Hmph! When she's useful, she's a teacher; when she's useless, she's just a nobody. Woman, your name is hypocrisy!"

After giving his teacher a moment of disdain, Tatsuma smiled politely and nodded. He then looked at Jiraiya and Kato Dan. Tsunade definitely didn't have any money. He wondered who would be the one to suffer this misfortune.

Jiraiya, who had been the victim of countless betrayals, silently handed the scroll to his disciple Minato. Kato Dan, who had never witnessed the harsh realities of society, chuckled and spoke up:

"How about I treat you? I've been on missions outside the village for years and I'm starting to miss the local food. But I need to pick up my niece."

"Your niece? I think you mentioned her yesterday."

Tsunade scratched her head. After yesterday's Jonin meeting, she had been thinking about drinking, and she couldn't quite remember what Dan Kato had said.

Upon hearing this, Kato Dan's smile became somewhat stiff and awkward. He nodded and simply said, "Mm."

Before Tsunade could react, Mito Uzumaki's face already showed sadness. In a slightly hoarse voice typical of the elderly, she asked, "Where are the child's parents?"

"I had an accident while on a mission in the north not long ago, leaving Shizune alone, so I came back to the village."

Kato Dan maintained a polite smile, but the smile showed no genuine joy; it was merely a polite gesture.

"Sigh~"

Mito Uzumaki sighed, and Tatsuma and the others fell silent as well. Not all of Konoha's ninjas were stationed in Konoha; some were stationed on the border year-round, or served in other towns or the daimyo's prefecture.

Kato Dan was clearly on a long-term mission outside the village, and he only returned to the village after his family's accident. Otherwise, Jiraiya and Tsunade, both Jonin, would not have been so unfamiliar with Kato Dan.

Mito Uzumaki's expression deepened with sorrow as she asked, "That child's name is Shizune? How old is she?"

"It's almost seven months."

Upon hearing this, the others fell silent. A seven-month-old baby, whose mother might still be breastfeeding, was already being sent to the battlefield.

For women, the breastfeeding period is already a time of weakness, but for female ninjas, the impact is even greater. A mission that was originally a sure thing may fail or even result in death due to physical weakness.

"Bring the child over here. I have some experience in taking care of children."

Mito Uzumaki sighed again and said, "No need to trouble you. I've already hired a caregiver. I just wanted to see Shizune more before returning to the village." Dan Kato shook his head and said, "There's no need to trouble you. I've already hired a caregiver. I just wanted to see Shizune more before returning to the village."

Seeing Kato Dan's suggestion, Uzumaki Mito didn't press the matter, saying, "Alright, you all go have your meal. I won't go out. Come over often when you have time."

After thinking for a moment, Mito Uzumaki pointed to the empty "fishpond" in front of her and said, "I need your help with some things."

"Yes."
