I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 225: It's the most common thing for a founder to be kicked out of a project.

"What should I do?"

Having decided to save him, Tsunade, clinging to her last shred of hope, looked at Tatsuma. Tatsuma also knelt down, checked Kato Dan's pulse and pupils, and said, "Dan-senpai has lost vital signs, teacher, you don't need to treat him anymore."

"Didn't you say you could save them?!"

Tsunade asked anxiously, and Tatsuma nodded, saying, "Yes, but not in your way, Sensei. Your medical skills are too traditional; they're already outdated."

Mokume Kōdō and Yanki couldn't help but twitch their lips when they heard Tatsuma's words. Nowadays, no medical ninja in the village dared to say that their medical skills were better than Tsunade's, yet Tatsuma, this disciple, dared to say such a thing.

"So what method do you plan to use?"

Tsunade didn't want to argue with her disciple, so she asked again. Tatsuma shook the scroll in his hand again and said, "Soul Sealing Technique."

"Second Grandfather's forbidden technique? But this technique isn't a medical ninjutsu!"

"Yes, that's not true, but we can imprison Senior Duan's soul within his body to buy time for the next stage of treatment."

Tatsuma nodded, unrolling the scroll in his hand. The ink and brushes on the scroll were specially made, so there was no need to worry about them getting wet in the rain. Tsunade asked in confusion:

"But there's a way to break Second Grandfather's spell. Even if it imprisons the soul and prevents the use of spirit transformation techniques, can't it be broken later? Also, when did you learn this spell?"

"The Hokage didn't give me a way to break the seal, so I can't release myself. As for when I'll learn it, I haven't learned it yet. I only got this technique a few days ago. I looked at it, but I haven't had time to learn it yet. But it doesn't seem difficult."

Hearing Tatsuma's words, Tsunade was so angry that her three corpses were about to explode, but she couldn't spare a hand to reprimand her disciple. Perhaps she still hoped that her disciple hadn't meant to boast.

When Mokume Kōtō and Smoke heard that the scroll in Tatsuma's hand was a forbidden technique, they instinctively looked away. But when Tatsuma said that the technique was not difficult, they couldn't help but take a look.

But when I saw the densely packed sealing and spell incantation formulas, my brain almost short-circuited. This is what you call not difficult?! Is the world really that unpredictable?

For Tatsuma, who had mastered a great deal of theoretical knowledge about sealing and curse seals and had been tormented by the Flying Thunder God Technique for several years, the Soul Imprisonment Technique was indeed not difficult; it was the kind of technique that could be understood at a glance.

The reason why Tatsuma didn't hurry up and master it was because he also valued every second. He couldn't secretly follow the group to carry out the mission, so he could only hope to master the Flying Thunder God technique as soon as possible.

These past few days, Tatsuma has been working tirelessly, trying to overcome the final difficulties of the Flying Thunder God Technique. But just as he mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and sensed the situation from Konoha, tragedy struck.

The loss of internal organs is an injury that cannot be healed, of course, in terms of traditional medicine and traditional medical ninjutsu. Tatsuma already has a treatment plan in mind, using the research results he has made with Orochimaru over the past two years.

His mind seemed to be divided into more than a dozen areas, each processing and learning a specific technique. Just one minute later, Chenma nodded and said:

"I've learned it, teacher. Stop now, your chakra is hindering my technique."

Upon hearing Tatsuma say that he had learned it, Mokume almost bit off his tongue from the smoke and the sword. He didn't care about the open scroll of forbidden techniques on the ground. He looked at Tatsuma with a mix of tension and expectation.

Tsunade stared at her disciple for several seconds, but ultimately chose to trust him and withdrew her chakra. Almost simultaneously, Tatsuma formed hand seals and then placed his right hand on Kato Dan's forehead.

In an instant, a complex and overlapping sealing technique, as dense as a large black disc, unfolded from the point of intersection, and then, like a pitcher plant catching its prey, it engulfed Kato Dan's head.

Soon, these techniques penetrated directly into Kato Dan's brain, sealing it layer by layer. After his death, his soul, which should have dispersed, was also imprisoned within it.

"I need to take Senior Duan back to the village for treatment, so I'll be leaving now."

Tatsuma put away the forbidden technique scroll on the ground, then took out a sealing scroll and sealed Kato Dan's corpse directly.

"I'll go back with you."

Tsunade quickly spoke up, and Tatsuma, looking at the two still dumbfounded, asked, "Aren't we continuing the mission?"

"The mission is over. Tsunade has no other work to do."

Kōdō Mokume snapped out of his daze. Instead of summarizing the mission as success or failure, he used the word "end." Tatsuma pursed his lips. He had been wondering since the beginning that the chakra here was chaotic, yet only a few people were still alive.

"I understand. My lords, I'll head back with my teacher now. I apologize, my skills are not yet proficient, I can only take one person with me."

Tatsuma didn't ask any further questions. He grabbed Tsunade's blood-soaked hand, and in the next instant, only a blur of light remained in place.

Mokumu Kōdō and the smoke exchanged a glance. Mokumu Kōdō swallowed hard and said, "That is..."

"Nidaime-sama's Flying Thunder God?"

Smoke finished the sentence in perfect unison, and then the two fell into a long silence. What's wrong with this world? They have to spend a lot of time studying and experimenting to learn even an A-rank ninjutsu.

How old is Chenma? Not only did he learn the forbidden technique on the spot, but he also learned the forbidden technique that many seniors who had come into contact with him said was impossible to learn.

Tsunade felt a sudden dizziness, as if her brain had shut down, unable to process the abrupt change in scene. Tatsuma, however, felt no discomfort whatsoever. He spoke to Minato, with whom he had just trained in the Senju clan compound:

"Minato, please go find Lord Orochimaru and ask him to come to the base."

Just minutes ago, Minato was celebrating with Tatsuma's successful mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique. He was puzzled when Tatsuma suddenly disappeared with a grim expression. However, seeing Tatsuma's serious face and Tsunade covered in blood, he suppressed his doubts and nodded, saying:

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After saying that, Minato immediately used the Body Flicker Technique and headed towards Orochimaru's residence. Tatsuma also grabbed Tsunade, who had just reacted, and headed towards the back mountain behind the Hokage Rock in Konoha.

Inside the house, Mito Uzumaki, who had been wondering why Tatsuma had disappeared and then returned with Tsunade, seemed to have guessed something. She clenched her hands tightly, and then relaxed them.

She looked at the female ninja who had been taking care of her daily needs in the room and said, "Tell Hiruzen to cooperate with everything he can."

The female ninja paused for a moment, then quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Lady Mito."

Behind Konoha, after passing through a grove of trees, a door inexplicably appeared before him. Tatsuma quickly stepped forward and placed his hand on the device next to the door frame.

"Beep~~"

Unlike the previous short alerts, this time the alert was long and piercing, and the device panel was not green as before, but a sea of ​​red.

Chenma's heart sank. He tried again, and the panel was still all red.

"What's going on?!"

Seeing Tatsuma's expression, Tsunade asked nervously, as this concerned Kato Dan's life. Tatsuma pursed his lips and said, "It seems my authority has been revoked."

"I'll give it a try."

Behind him, Orochimaru's voice rang out. He appeared carrying a panting Minato, put Minato down, walked to the equipment, and covered it with his own hands.

"Beep~~"

Looking at the equally red panel, Orochimaru was also taken aback. He hadn't expected that Hiruzen Sarutobi would revoke his permissions as well.

But Orochimaru quickly regained his composure and said, "I left a hidden door when the base was built. Let's go."

"Bang!"

Before Orochimaru could finish speaking, Tsunade, in her anxiety, slammed her fist into the door, smashing a hole in the sturdy door. Tsunade reached into the hole with both hands, unleashing her monstrous strength, and yanked the door to both sides.

"Squeak squeak squeak~"

Instantly, a sharp metallic scraping sound rang out, and the metal door, thicker than the walls of a normal house, was forcibly pried open by Tsunade. Tsunade calmly said, "Go in. I'll take responsibility if anything happens."

Orochimaru and Tatsuma exchanged a glance, then nodded and entered the base. Tsunade turned her head towards Minato Namikaze, who, who had been hesitant about whether he was suitable to go in, also quickly walked in.

"You... Orochimaru? Tatsuma? You're not..."

Upon entering the base, they quickly bumped into the researchers working there. As soon as they spoke, Tsunade, who was originally at the back of the group, stepped directly to the front.

Covered in blood and rain, Tsunade looked at the stranger before her and said, "Get out of my way!"

The researcher, who had been about to say something, shrank back and made way for her. Tsunade took a few quick steps and stopped at the fork in the road.

In her haste, she forgot that she didn't know the way at all. Tsunade turned to look at Orochimaru and Tatsuma. Tatsuma pointed in a direction, and Tsunade continued to "lead the way."

Orochimaru finally had a chance and asked, "What happened?"

"Senior Duan was attacked and his kidneys were almost completely destroyed. I used the Soul Imprisonment Technique to imprison his soul in my body and came here to treat Senior Duan."

Tatsuma answered quickly. Orochimaru didn't ask where Tatsuma learned the Soul Imprisonment Technique, but nodded and said, "It's obviously too late to cultivate the kidneys using the normal process. Shall we use Hashirama cells for activation?"

This is a step their project hasn't reached yet. Chenma clenched his fist to ease his tension and said, "Let's check the situation later. I suggest removing the damaged kidney first, suturing the surrounding wounds, and combining it with the regeneration technique."

First, restore Senior Duan's vital signs to buy more time to nurture a complete kidney, and then arrange another surgery.

Tsunade, who was walking at the front, listened to the conversation between the two behind her. At first, she was puzzled, and then she was shocked. What were these two talking about? Cultivating kidneys? Is this something that medical technology can do?

But she dared not ask, only hoping that her teammates and disciples were not deceiving her.

After passing through two doors and cleaning themselves in the room, the group finally arrived at a special operating room. It was special because the "operating table" inside was only the size of a tray. Orochimaru pushed the operating table aside and pulled over the worktable next to it.

Tatsuma also took out the sealing scroll and removed the severed corpse. Orochimaru closed the door, pressed a button next to the door, and instantly sprayed out a mist to sterilize the operating room.

Orochimaru then pushed over two machines and said, "The power pump and oxygenator have only been tested on piglets, and it's uncertain whether they can replace an adult's heartbeat and breathing."

"We have no choice but to give it a try."

Tatsuma quickly connected the device to Kato Dan, preparing to draw blood from himself, while looking up at Tsunade and asking, "What's your blood type, Dan-senpai?"

Type A.

Tsunade answered without hesitation. Tatsuma's face turned serious as he said, "I'm blood type O, so I can transfer a small amount of whole blood to Dan-senpai. Minato, I'll have to trouble you to make another trip."

Just as Minato was about to nod, footsteps and the sound of a cart rolling suddenly came from the corridor, and a soft voice also rang out.

"No need, Dr. Sakamoto, I've brought everything I need."

Through the small window in the door, Chenma saw who it was, smiled, and said, "Dean."

Biwako, who was in the transit room, nodded. Orochimaru then disinfected the transit room again in the operating room, and then let Biwako, along with Nono and Jaji, who were pushing a large number of blood bags and surgical instruments, in.

With the help of Nonou and Jabami, Tatsuma changed into surgical gowns and gloves, and Biwako took over the work of Tsunade, who was still somewhat shaken, as Tatsuma's assistant.

Tatsuma produced a chakra scalpel and looked at Orochimaru. Orochimaru nodded, activated the device, and Kato Dan's wound, which had stopped bleeding, suddenly started bleeding again. Tatsuma nodded heavily and said:

"Let's begin."
