I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 244 People are always dissatisfied with what they give more than they receive, and always want more.

"Has the seal loosened again?!"

Outside a building, several Cloud Ninja dressed in sealing techniques walked quickly. One of them asked a question, and another nodded, saying, "It seems so. This chakra surge is too abnormal."

"Sigh, compared to the sealing technique of the vortex, our Iron Seal is still too unstable. It's fine for sealing the Eight-Tails' main body, but it's not enough to seal the Eight-Tails into a Jinchuriki."

The man sighed, but his steps never faltered. He soon arrived at a secret chamber filled with sealing spells. The boy lying on the bed had his eyes closed and was sweating profusely.

The sealing technique, which should have been hidden after the seal was stabilized, reappeared and began to tremble.

"Get under control quickly."

Seeing that the Jinchūriki was in such a bad state, the group did not dare to be negligent and immediately used sealing techniques. One sealing technique after another appeared, connecting with the sealing techniques on the Jinchūriki's body.

With the help of the group, the trembling sealing technique quickly calmed down, and the sleeping Jinchuriki's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

Seeing that the seal had stabilized, the group breathed a sigh of relief. One of them said, "I don't know what Lord Ai was thinking, actually sealing the Eight-Tails into a child's body. He simply can't resist it."

"There's nothing we can do. He's the most suitable sacrifice for the village. Besides, everyone knows the impact of the Second Shinobi World War. All the villages are strengthening their military and need to find a vessel for the Eight-Tails as soon as possible. It's just the way things are."

"That's right, it's a pity those people from Uzushiogakure were too stubborn back then. If they hadn't held on so tightly, we might not have this problem. Look, the Magnet Release ninjas and Lava Release ninjas were also incorporated into our ranks, weren't they?"

"However, I heard that the descendant of that Magnet Release ninja did not seem to inherit the talent. I wonder if Lord A will take action against Sunagakure again."

"Shh~ be careful."

As the group discussed, no one noticed that the sleeping boy on the stone bed had slightly furrowed his brow, but his chakra remained stable, so it didn't seem that his furrowing was due to unstable chakra.

Outside the building, a three-person team was slowly approaching. Yunlei Gorge was not a canyon between two mountains, but an unusual mountain range.

Because the peaks have extremely large elevation differences and there are no gentle saddles between them, they cannot be gathered into a ridge, hence the name "gorge".

Once the Eight-Tails goes berserk, these undulating mountains will greatly weaken the impact of its rampage, and even the Tailed Beast Ball will not be able to spread its aftershocks to Kumogakure.

The building where the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is located is on a mountain in the Cloud Thunder Valley. The building is very grand and even has detailed carvings that don't quite match the style of the Hidden Cloud Village.

The ornately decorated building now resembled a prison, trapping the boy named Brubi.

Until he learns to control the Eight-Tails' abilities, he can forget about leaving this building, let alone leaving Cloud Thunder Canyon and returning to a normal ninja life.

Sakumo Hatake's talent in perception is not as good as his two temporary teammates, but he still has a certain level of perception ability.

His brow furrowed, and he said to the two beside him, "That violent chakra has disappeared. Did something happen?"

Upon hearing this, Tatsuma shook his head and said, "He is still within my perception range, but his chakra has become stable. Perhaps the unstable sealing technique has been reinforced again."

"I see."

Sakumo Hatake nodded. As long as their whereabouts weren't discovered, and Kumogakure was simply relocating the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, everything was fine. He breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke:

"With such an uncontrollable Jinchūriki, it's no wonder that the higher-ups in Kumogakure don't trust him and have started looking for alternative options early on."

Sakumo Hatake had lived in the village for many years, and as the captain of the Dark Guard, he knew about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was Mito Uzumaki, and Sakumo Hatake had never seen the Nine-Tails go berserk under Mito Uzumaki's control.

After the Jinchuriki was replaced, the little girl named Kushina Uzumaki performed quite well. It is said that she was able to attend some important occasions after only a few days of adaptation.

In a short period of time, he completely recovered and began to learn how to control the Nine-Tails' power according to the notes left by Mito Uzumaki.

Compared to the two troublesome Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, this Eight-Tails Jinchuriki named Frubi is obviously much "worse".

In three years, not only have they not learned to control the Nine-Tails' power, but they also easily lose control of the power, requiring a large number of people to monitor them.

Tatsuma finally understood why so many people were stationed in Cloud Thunder Canyon. After all, in the original story, when Killer Bee lived in Cloud Thunder Canyon, there weren't many people there.

Compared to Killer Bee, a perfect Jinchūriki, Burubi is far too worrying, so it's easy to understand why Kumogakure has strengthened its defenses against him.

After finishing his reflection, Hatake Sakumo looked at Tatsuma and asked, "Yasha, what do you think should be done next?"

Upon hearing this, Tatsuma and Minato were stunned, and even Sakumo Hatake himself didn't understand why he would ask such a question.

After all, he should be the team leader, but he had been following Tatsuma's arrangements all along the way, even though they were discussed each time.

But without realizing it, Sakumo Hatake seemed to have already decided that Tatsuma was the one in charge of the mission, and thus inadvertently revealed his attitude.

He quickly added, "Such a challenging mission is an excellent opportunity for you to hone your skills. Tatsuma, you share your thoughts first, and Minato, you share yours later."

Although he could tell that this was an excuse Sakumo Hatake had made up on the spot, Tatsuma didn't call him out on it. He simply nodded and said:

"The main purpose of this trip is to investigate the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. This place should be the residence of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Brubi. There may be a lot of information left here."

There may also be various letters exchanged with the village. Although it's unlikely that these people will keep the letters, we still need to investigate them carefully.

As for targeting Brupi, I personally believe it shouldn't be our top priority. Minato, what do you think?

Seeing that Tatsuma had passed the buck to him, Minato was not intimidated and said seriously, "I think so too. Information about Jinchuriki takes precedence over other things."

He first agreed with Chenma's opinion before continuing, "Afterwards, I think we should leave some Flying Thunder God techniques in the Cloud Thunder Canyon."

This is the residence of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Although it can only be said that it is the residence of Burubi, the current Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, given the geographical conditions here, if nothing unexpected happens, the next Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and even the ones after that, will live and study here.

The case of Brubi might not be an isolated incident. Perhaps the information about the next Eight-Tails Jinchuriki will also be hidden. And with the ability to enter the Cloud and Thunder Valley at any time, Konoha will have the key to investigate the Cloud and Thunder Valley at any time.

As long as they don't completely abandon this territory, they can always open their doors to Konoha.

Upon hearing this, Tatsuma nodded in agreement and looked at Hatake Sakumo, saying, "Lord Sakumo, I think Minato's suggestion is feasible. What do you think?"

"Okay, but that will require a lot of trouble from you two. However, since you're going to leave behind the Flying Thunder God Technique formula, make sure none of you are discovered."

Once the Hidden Cloud Village discovers the first Flying Thunder God technique, they will most likely react, conduct a thorough search of the Cloud Thunder Canyon, and find and destroy all the Flying Thunder God techniques hidden within.

Sakumo Hatake added a few more words, and seeing that there were no other opinions, the three of them slowly crept towards the building.

Perhaps it was the recent surge of tailed beast chakra that caused the people stationed here to relax after being tense. Tatsuma could clearly sense that these people were somewhat lazy.

However, this was a good thing for Tatsuma. After infiltrating, they began searching.

As a veteran member of the Dark Division, Hatake Sakumo even brought a special lubricant that made all kinds of hinges and lock cylinders silent. Moreover, this lubricant evaporates very quickly, and by the next morning, the rare smoothness will become dry again.

Searching for documents in the dark and silently opening doors and locks are essential skills for ANBU ninjas, and even Minato, who has been an ANBU member for the shortest time, is proficient in them.

The three searched for a long time and backed up all the useful information. As the night deepened, their operation became even more successful.

Apart from a few rooms for living and the special room where Brubi was, the three of them searched the rest of the building. Sakumo Hatake stayed inside to monitor the situation, while Tatsuma and Minato went out to inscribe the Flying Thunder God Technique formula.

As dawn broke, the three returned to the building. Tatsuma whispered a reminder, "Someone has woken up and started moving. Lord Sakumo, should we retreat first, or take the risk?"

Sakumo Hatake turned around and saw the two men staring intently at him. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you both want to take a risk?"

"I'll do as you say."

Tatsuma replied, but Hatake Sakumo already knew what he was thinking, so he also began to ponder it.

If they came only for intelligence, their mission is complete, and they even left themselves an extra layer of backup, allowing them to return to the village and report back smoothly.

But having gone to such lengths to come to the Land of Lightning, hear so much thunder, and hide from so many people, it seems like such a waste to come here for such insignificant information.

Presumably, the Hokage didn't equip him with two teammates who mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique just for the sake of playing it safe.

Sakumo Hatake looked at Tatsuma and asked, "How confident are you?"

"It's just a seal that can't even contain the Eight-Tails."

Tatsuma smiled. He was quite confident in his sealing techniques; otherwise, he would have failed Mito Uzumaki in her training. Mito Uzumaki's dedication to him was unmatched, even by Kushina.

Mito Uzumaki taught Kushina how to use most sealing techniques, but taught Tatsuma about various sealing techniques. In terms of mastery of sealing techniques, Tatsuma was inferior to Kushina.

After all, there are still many seals that require the power of the Uzumaki clan, but when it comes to analyzing, breaking, and rewriting seal techniques, Kushina is no match for him.

"Then let's take the risk!"
