I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 272 Reject Violence, Because Perpetrators Also Cannot Bear the Consequences

"Sizzle~"

The sound of concentrated acid corroding objects rang out, followed by a muffled groan. In the thick fog, the silver light flickered and disappeared. Minato sensed someone behind him, quickly repelled the rogue ninja in front of him, and then looked back.

At this moment, Chenma was half-squatting on the ground. The clothes on his back and shoulders had been corroded, and the exposed skin was ulcerated. The corrosion was still continuing, but the overflowing blood and tissue fluid diluted the corrosive liquid, greatly reducing its corrosiveness.

Seeing that it wasn't a fatal injury, Minato breathed a sigh of relief. Such an injury wasn't serious for Tatsuma; it just took a little time for the chakra to be transferred.

Sure enough, the next second, the ulcerated skin began to heal, and the newly grown skin was pinkish-white, but looked very healthy.

"I'm sorry, class monitor, I was too careless."

At this moment, Aragaki quickly helped Tatsuma up, who was trying to get up, and said to him, Tatsuma shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that there would be a bloodline limit ninja."

His injuries healed instantly, but Tatsuma's expression under his mask was particularly grim. It wasn't from pain, because the pain from the injuries was only momentary for him. The main reason was that Orochimaru had emphasized to him that any injury he suffered would accelerate the growth of those unknown cells.

This made him, who used to like getting injured first to trigger [Low Health Awakening] and [Training Through Battle], extremely careful to protect himself during this operation.

However, to his surprise, he was not injured when fighting against the Cloud Ninja and the Earth-Mountain Ninja, who had the most chakra and seemed to have the highest prestige in the team.

Instead, he stumbled at the hands of a rogue ninja from Kirigakure whom he didn't even recognize. Tatsuma knew he couldn't blame anyone else, because he should have been prepared and had a contingency plan when he saw the rogue ninja.

Since Kirigakure adopted the Blood Mist Village policy, it has had less and less communication with the outside world. In addition, being located overseas makes it difficult to infiltrate, so information about Kirigakure is hard to find.

That's one aspect. Another aspect is that this person is a rogue ninja from Kirigakure. Also, due to the Blood Mist Village policy, the proportion of bloodline limit ninjas among the ninjas who defected from Kirigakure is quite high.

Tatsuma only focused on whether any of these rogue ninjas were from the Hidden Mist Village capable of using the Hidden Mist Technique, without delving deeper into the matter or being wary of anyone associated with the Hidden Mist Village. This was a dereliction of duty on his part as class leader.

Therefore, Chenma was willing to help Aragyuu, but he didn't want to let the person who hurt him get away with it. He looked at the rogue ninja from Kirigakure and asked, "Who are you?"

The rogue ninja from Kirigakure also watched Tatsuma's recovery process with a grim expression. He possessed the Boil Release Kekkei Genkai, but his strength was not particularly high, so he did not intend to directly participate in the battle against Tatsuma.

After fighting the Wild Eagle for so long, he felt it was somewhat not worth it to risk using Boil Release, but without using Boil Release, he couldn't defeat the Wild Eagle.

When he used Boil Release and Tatsuma chose to appear and block him, he was very happy because he knew that the high temperature and corrosiveness of Boil Release would cause great damage to the enemy.

Although Tatsuma was only injured in his back and shoulders, the injuries were enough to reduce the flexibility of his hands, which would cause his hand seals and ninja tool throwing to decline.

In other words, this would greatly increase the probability of defeating or killing Tatsuma. The Kirigakure rogue ninja was extremely excited at the thought of the 45 million ryo bounty, but he never expected this.

This person isn't afraid of getting hurt!

Chenma relaxed his shoulders, feeling the diluted acid slightly corroding his skin. He ignored it, deciding to leave some injury so he could perform better.

The rogue ninja from Kirigakure swallowed hard when he saw Tatsuma's eyes, so different from when he fought others. He wanted to tell this boy his name firmly, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Tatsuma was too lazy to wait any longer. He glanced at the other rogue ninjas who were still standing and saw that they were all too timid to move. He snorted and charged directly at the rogue ninjas from Kirigakure.

He didn't use the Body Flicker Technique or the Flying Thunder God Technique. He was very fast, but each of these rogue ninjas could dodge him, of course, if they could use their normal strength.

But at this moment, the Mist Ninja felt their chakra stagnate, and could only watch helplessly as Tatsuma approached.

The rogue ninja who was fighting Minato also stopped after being knocked away by Minato and dared not make any rash moves. As for the other rogue ninja who was fighting the earwig, he was distracted and had countless parasitic insects rush into his body.

Minato looked at Tatsuma with concern. Tatsuma's current state was just like before, when he had just finished a research project and returned to the Anbu for the first time to carry out a mission with him, he was completely indifferent to the enemy.

But after that mission, whether it was the mission to the Land of Lightning or the rehabilitation training during the past few months, Tatsuma never showed any further performance, which led Minato to believe that it was just a one-off occurrence.

But now it seems that my best friend has been suppressing some negative emotions, and the venting last time did not seem to have any effect on relieving them.

For some unknown reason, it seems to have become more serious and radical.

"Boiling Release! Skillful Mist Technique!"

At this moment, the Mist Ninja seemed unable to bear it any longer, and once again spewed out the corrosive mist from his mouth, heading towards Tatsuma who was coming towards him.

"Eight Trigrams - Empty Palm!"

Chenma pushed his palm forward, without needing any hand seals or chakra nature conversion; pure chakra burst forth through the pressure points, creating a strong wind.

"Aaaaaah!"

The mist reversed direction, covering the Mist Ninja. The intense pain caused the Mist Ninja to cry out, leaving the others extremely puzzled as to how Tatsuma had remained silent just moments before.

Is this person really that stubborn?

"Knock knock knock~"

Tatsuma quickened his pace and increased the force of his steps. With each step, the terrain subtly changed, and he drew closer and closer to the Mist Ninja.

But the Mist Ninja, whose face was corroded and whose eyes had accidentally gotten acid in them, was completely unable to care about anything else. Suddenly, after a loud bang, the surroundings seemed to quiet down.

The ninja's ears sent some information, some danger warnings, to their brains, but the brains, wracked with pain, were unable to process the information from their ears.

He couldn't see or hear, but the others could. They all saw Tatsuma leap up from the ground as he ran in front of the Mist Ninja, spinning around in the air before delivering a whirlwind kick with both legs.

Throughout the entire sequence, without considering any room for maneuver, only seeking the most exhilarating power output, Tatsuma's monstrous strength was fully unleashed at this moment, his calf slamming directly onto the Mist Ninja's shoulder.

"Bang!"

Those around seemed to see a burst of red mist erupt from the Kirigakure's body the moment it was kicked.

The red mist did not obstruct the view of those around them; they could all clearly see that the left half of the Mist Ninja's torso had disappeared, and a crooked arm and shoulder had fallen to the ground.

That kick was like a giant axe splitting the Mist Ninja in two. The unbalanced Mist Ninja fell to the ground, and a thick, pinkish-white paste flowed from her mouth and nose.

The others also noticed that Tatsuma, who had landed and gotten up, was not entirely unharmed. Forces always interact, and Tatsuma's center of gravity was now entirely on his left foot, while his right foot was merely standing there.

Is this a good opportunity?

Everyone wanted to attack the obviously injured Tatsuma, but none of them dared to actually do it.

"Tap tap~"

"Click~"

Before they could overcome their surprise and doubt, Chenma gently stomped his foot. After the injured right foot experienced additional force, it not only did not worsen the injury, but they even heard the sound of the joint returning to its original position.

Seeing that Tatsuma had regained his balance, they all knew they had missed the best opportunity, even if it wasn't even a real opportunity.

As for Chenma himself, he felt much better. Violence is not the best way to solve problems or vent emotions, but it is the quickest way to achieve results. However, in most cases, most people suppress this animalistic nature beneath their humanity.

Everyone has had the thought of becoming a perpetrator, but reason prevents such thoughts because most people cannot afford the cost of violence. Therefore, the violent thoughts driven by animalistic instincts are usually compensated by exercise, crying, and shouting.

"There's nothing more interesting to do. Let's end this here."

Tatsuma looked in Minato's direction and said something. Minato seemed to want to say something, but didn't say it at the moment. He just nodded. The two of them took out kunai at the same time and looked at the rogue ninja.

"Earth Release! Earthflow Wall!"

A rogue ninja targeted by Tatsuma didn't care about anything else and immediately formed hand seals to release a ninjutsu. Only when he looked at the thick wall did he feel a sense of security.

But that's how it is for him. For Tatsuma, the wind-style chakra in his hand condensed and directly enveloped the shuriken.

He certainly wasn't extravagant enough to use chakra-conducting metal to create kunai. However, not using chakra-conducting metal didn't mean it couldn't conduct chakra; it just meant its efficiency and utilization were extremely low.

Instead of using chakra conduction techniques, Tatsuma used an excess of chakra to directly envelop the kunai. He flicked his wrist, and the kunai flew towards the thick earthen wall.

The wind chakra, once released from Tatsuma's control, spread out like a chainsaw, destroying the earthen wall before the kunai could even get close.

The kunai then pierced through the severely damaged earthen wall. The rogue ninja watched as the kunai broke through his ninjutsu. He tried to dodge, but a flash of silver light appeared, and the flying kunai was regained under his control.

"Flying Thunder God Slash!"

Using the kunai to castrate him, Tatsuma only slightly adjusted his direction, and the kunai sliced ​​across the rogue ninja's neck.

"Snap!"

The rogue ninja collapsed to the ground, clutching his neck, trying to prolong his death, but the powerful pumping of his heart, the heartbeat that once fueled his body, became a death knell.

With each pump of the heart, a huge amount of blood is ejected from the major arteries.

Tatsuma ignored him and looked at the others. Apart from the one who had also been beheaded by Minato, the other rogue ninjas all wanted to escape.

However, the earwigs' parasites became a line of defense. These parasites, which could not be cut or hit, but could gnaw on the body upon contact, made it impossible for them to leave.

The rogue ninjas, whose progress was slowed by the parasitic insects, could only catch glimpses of silver or gold light in the insect shadows before dying.

Faced with absolute speed, no technique can gain an advantage. The rogue ninjas could only regret their involvement in the operation the moment they lost their lives.

"Class monitor, you're too violent. Your brain is damaged and has no value for recycling. Why don't you let my bugs have some extra food?"

The earwig looked at the tranquil forest that had suddenly transformed into a maple forest and spoke in that eerie, flat tone. Tatsuma shrugged, then pointed to the rogue ninja with a kunai driven into his forehead and said:

"The water gate is dry too."

"I"

Minato was speechless, and Tatsuma's words had a strangely familiar feel to them.
