I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 246 Lies woven from the truth are the hardest to detect.

The giant fist completely buried Chenma and the other two. Seeing this, several of the Cloud Ninja showed expressions of despair.

After all, there are only a few people in the village who are capable of sealing tailed beasts. If his team is also involved, they can be said to be the most skilled sealing team in the Hidden Cloud Village.

When they arrived, Ruo's team had already lost more than half of its members. They thought that as long as Ruo was still there, even if there were only two members left, they could still do their best to seal the Eight-Tails.

Unexpectedly, that ANBU member from Konoha used such a ruthless method, willing to perish together with Waka in order to completely drive the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki into a berserk state.

Aside from the ninjas of Kumogakure, Sakumo Hatake and Minato were also taken aback by what they saw. Minato clenched his fists twice, wondering why he hadn't caught up in time to save Tatsuma.

"Cough cough~"

Before he could feel any guilt, Minato heard a familiar voice behind him. He turned around and saw that a corner of the Yaksha mask was missing, and Tatsuma, with burn marks on his left shoulder, was standing behind him.

"Are you alright?!"

Minato asked somewhat anxiously, and Tatsuma shook his head, replying, "Don't underestimate me."

As he spoke, Tatsuma was still a little scared. He hadn't expected Brubi's fist to fall so quickly. If he hadn't planned his escape route before making his move, he might have actually been hit.

As expected, none of the tailed beasts were simple creatures. Even in their half-tailed beast form, their power far exceeded what Tatsuma could currently handle.

Given the current situation, even if Sakumo Hatake were to intervene, Burubi might not be able to gain any advantage.

It's not that Sakumo Hatake wasn't strong enough, but rather that his strength lay not in dealing with tailed beasts, but in his superior ability to fight humans.

At this moment, Brubi slowly raised his fist. Amidst the ruins and bloodstains, Ruo and his two teammates had completely disappeared.

He turned his demonic head to look at Tatsuma, his huge fist still not back to its original size. He awkwardly scratched his head, seemingly unable to comprehend Tatsuma's escape methods.

The next moment, he stretched out his hand towards Chenma. The chakra on his arm, which was covered in black and red chakra, extended again, instantly covering a distance of over 100 meters.

"Wind Release: Wind Slicing Technique!"

Tatsuma instantly formed hand seals, and countless invisible wind blades slashed at Burubi's chakra arm. The blades severed the chakra arm, but the raging chakra reconnected in an instant.

With almost no resistance, the chakra arm reached out towards Tatsuma at incredible speed.

However, Tatsuma keenly realized that the giant hand's claws seemed to be subtly avoiding his vital parts. What was this eight-tailed fox trying to do? Was it playing cat and mouse?

"Swoosh~"

Just as Tatsuma was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave again, a flash of white light appeared, and the chakra arm was severed. However, this time it did not reconnect immediately. Covered in the Eight-Tails' chakra, Furu leaned back exaggeratedly, while constantly retracting its arm.

The severed arm that fell to the ground quickly disappeared, after all, it was just a ball of chakra.

Sakumo Hatake appeared in front of the two and said, "Let's go!"

"no."

Tatsuma interrupted, glancing around before whispering, "The Flying Thunder God's perception isn't that far."

Sakumo Hatake frowned, after all, he knew that Tatsuma and Minato had buried a lot of Flying Thunder God Techniques in this Cloud Thunder Canyon, so there was no reason why they couldn't sense them.

However, he quickly realized Tatsuma's purpose. If they used Flying Thunder God to leave now, it would inevitably lead to a follow-up investigation after the Eight-Tails' riot was resolved in Kumogakure.

By then, the spells buried in the Cloud Thunder Canyon will be removed one by one, rendering their midnight arrangements completely useless.

Therefore, the best way is to break out and leave Yunlei Canyon, and then use Flying Thunder God to escape quickly. Unless absolutely necessary, you should not use Flying Thunder God to escape within Yunlei Canyon.

Having figured all this out, Hatake Sakumo nodded and said, "I'll hold off the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. You guys deal with the others. Safety first, and look for an opportunity."

"Flying Thunder God?!"

Amidst the chaos of the battlefield, some people overheard the two's conversation and gasped in surprise.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is information that is almost impossible for ordinary ninjas to obtain, but elites from various villages can learn about it to some extent.

But if we're talking about which ninja village, besides Konoha, understands the Flying Thunder God Technique the most, it would definitely be Kumogakure.

Because the creator of the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, died at the hands of the Cloud Ninja. Although it was an armed force led by Kinkaku and Ginkaku, they were all Cloud Ninja.

Because of the tense relationship between Kumogakure and Konoha back then, Kumogakure never stopped investigating Tobirama Senju, both during his lifetime and after his death.

Therefore, the Flying Thunder God Technique, a space-time ninjutsu even more outstanding than their village's Heavenly Delivery Technique, is naturally known to many people.

Although many years have passed and most of the ninjas from that time have retired, died, or risen to high positions and moved behind the scenes, no longer participating in frontline work, their investigation results are known to many people of the next generation.

Therefore, upon hearing Tatsuma mention the Flying Thunder God Technique, several Jonin from Kumogakure quickly realized what was going on. Their first reaction was that it was impossible, since Tobirama Senju had developed the Flying Thunder God Technique so many years ago, and they had never heard of anyone in Konoha learning this technique.

But then they thought of this Konoha ANBU member wearing a Yaksha mask. To escape from Brubi's clutches in such a tight timeframe, only the Flying Thunder God Technique could achieve such speed, perhaps only Lord A could do.

Tatsuma deliberately leaked this information because the three of them would ultimately have to rely on the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape.

If they use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave in full view of everyone, they will definitely become suspicious. Even if they have already escaped from the Cloud Thunder Valley, it will still trigger a thorough investigation by the Hidden Cloud Village.

However, he deliberately revealed this information to give these Cloud Ninjas a point of reference: there is no Flying Thunder God Technique in Cloud Thunder Canyon, so he cannot use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape.

This would reduce the likelihood of the Hidden Cloud Village thoroughly investigating the Cloud Thunder Valley. Although it's not that the Hidden Cloud Village wouldn't investigate just because he said so, reducing the possibility even a little is better than nothing.

Seeing their reaction, Tatsuma was very satisfied. In order to reinforce their memory, Tatsuma took out several kunai and threw them at a group of Cloud Ninja.

His figure then vanished from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already beside a Cloud Ninja. He did not attack the squad leader, but instead targeted a Chunin.

The Rasengan condensed, and almost in the blink of an eye, his attack arrived.

"boom!"

The Rasengan sent the Cloud Ninja flying, leaving him lying on the spot, his fate unknown. Meanwhile, the Jonin leading the squad regained his senses and drew his ninja sword to slash at Tatsuma.

But as the blade flashed, all he cut through was an afterimage. The tattered yaksha mask no longer seemed comical; instead, it exuded the oppressive aura of a demon.

"Yaksha! Over there!"

At that moment, Minato also threw a kunai, and Tatsuma, who had reappeared, looked in the direction where Minato had thrown the kunai.

In an instant, all the ninjas in that squad looked at Tatsuma warily, fearing that he would come over with a Flying Thunder God Technique and cause trouble, but Tatsuma did not move.

"Bang!"

But an explosion was heard from within the squad, and a cloud of smoke burst open, instantly engulfing several people. The other squads were still keeping a close eye on Tatsuma, but no one noticed that Minato, who had thrown the kunai, had disappeared.

"Pfft pfft pfft~"

Several figures suddenly burst out of the smoke: two Chunin from Kumogakure and the other was Minato. The smoke quickly dissipated, leaving only two members of the four-person team. The leader, a Jonin from Kumogakure, held a kunai and looked at Minato, who had been sent flying and barely landed, with disbelief.

"He can also use Thunder God Technique!"

The others also noticed this, but they only came to their senses after being reminded, and their faces showed shock.

The Flying Thunder God Technique, a technique that no one except Tobirama Senju had mastered for decades, has suddenly been mastered by two people?!

Tatsuma caught the landing Minato, quickly checked his body, and found that he was not injured. He breathed a slight sigh of relief and whispered, "Use explosive tags next time."

"I underestimated them a bit, but... just this once."

Minato fastened the slightly displaced owl mask back onto himself and said seriously.

"hateful!"

Their conversation was not deliberately concealed, and many Cloud Ninjas overheard it. They showed anger and no longer cautiously watched the two, but instead chose to take the initiative to attack.

As long as the two of them don't have time to throw those damned kunai, what good is a miraculous technique like the Flying Thunder God Technique?!

"As expected of the ninjas of Kumogakure, I have never seen such a spirit of courage in ninjas from other villages. However, courage alone cannot stop us."

Seeing the Cloud Ninjas approaching him, Tatsuma calmly formed hand seals.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

It was Tobirama Senju's signature Water Release technique again: a high-pressure, high-speed stream of water shot out from his mouth like a sharp blade, slashing towards the Cloud Ninja who had come from the east.

"Clang~"

One man used his ninja sword to parry, but the water blade sliced ​​through his sword almost without obstruction and headed straight for his neck.

"Be careful!"

His team leader, a Jonin, grabbed him by the back of the collar and threw him far away, while simultaneously forming hand seals.

"Lightning Release! Graveyard Toss!"

Two lightning balls appeared in the hands of the Cloud Ninja, and he used them, imbued with lightning, to strike the water blade that was coming towards him.

The water, which had no fixed shape, seemed to be bound after coming into contact with the lightning, and the lightning followed the water and spread towards Tatsuma, the caster.

Although streaks of blood flowed from the hands of the Cloud Ninja, his eyes remained resolute. As long as the lightning caught Tatsuma, even if it only brought Tatsuma to a momentary stun, it would be enough for his colleagues to do a lot.

"Lightning Release!"

Tatsuma suddenly felt a pang of regret. If he also possessed lightning-style chakra, perhaps he wouldn't be in such a passive position. He could have easily used his own lightning release to resist the Cloud Ninja's lightning release, but now...

Just as he was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, he heard Minato's voice beside him.

"You continue! Leave it to me."
