I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 282 The worst thing is when you're just watching the drama unfold and it gets back to you.

Upon hearing this topic, even Qian Dou, who usually liked to go against Tian Feng, fell silent and put away the smile he had just been teasing.

Tianfeng's gaze also shifted to a small photo frame in the living room, showing a short-haired man in a police uniform with an unnatural smile on his face, seemingly trying to smile for the first time.

Beside him was a woman in a kimono, looking happy, holding a child. These were Obito's parents. This was the only photo of Obito with his parents, and at that time, Obito was too young to even remember anything.

Shortly after the photo was taken, the Uchiha clan went to the northern part of the Land of Fire to fight against the Cloud Ninja who were constantly invading and harassing them. It was during this war that Obito's parents were killed by the Cloud Ninja while protecting Tenka, who was going to the battlefield for the first time.

After returning from the battlefield, Tenfeng activated his two-tomoe Sharingan. Tatsuma was the first to know this and also the one who understood it the best.

However, this matter is not a secret. After learning that Tenfu had activated his Sharingan, Minato and Sento, unless they were stupid, could easily figure out the answer by making a simple connection.

At this moment, Tianfeng activated his three-tomoe Sharingan again. The reason was simple, and it could even be said to be the same emotion driven by the same event.

Tatsuma looked at Minato and said, "Minato, I need a place that is sufficiently secure."

"it is good."

Minato didn't ask why, or rather, he knew what Tatsuma wanted to do. He formed a hand seal and then slapped his hands on the ground.

"Barrier: Toad Ladle Prison!"

A ripple seemed to spread across the ground before the four of them plummeted. Tatsuma and Minato, each on their own, adjusted their course in mid-air, unaffected by the ever-changing scenery, and found a solid foothold.

Qian Dou and Tian Feng were not so relaxed. It wasn't until they approached the bubbling acid pool that they suddenly realized what was happening, and Qian Dou pulled Tian Feng, who was in mid-air, up with him.

"return"

All the acupoints in his body instantly opened, and his chakra was about to burst forth.

"The Art of Paper Making: The Bridge of Helplessness"

Chenma threw out a scroll that had been unsealed. The white paper that burst out of the scroll formed an arch bridge between the two landing points. Qiandou and Tianfeng in his arms fell directly onto the bridge surface. The paper bridge surface bounced back slightly a few times, completely dissipating the force.

"Let me go!"

Tianfeng gritted his teeth and tried to pull his head out of Qiandou's arms, but he didn't dare to use too much force. Qiandou was skilled in both steel and soft fist techniques, and his fragile neck couldn't withstand Qiandou's torment.

Qian Dou finally realized what was happening, quickly releasing Tian Feng and leaping off the bridge. Veins bulged around his eyes as he surveyed his surroundings with a look of astonishment, asking:

"Where am I? Why can't I see anything outside?"

Reminded by Sento, Tenfeng didn't have time to argue. His Sharingan appeared in his eyes, and he kept scanning the strange scene.

The Sharingan's sensory abilities are not as good as the Byakugan's, but its insight within its direct field of vision is not bad, and it is even stronger than the Byakugan in terms of dynamic capture.

With their Byakugan and Sharingan, neither could discern the secrets of this place. The two, who had been feeling somewhat smug about their progress, quickly turned their gazes toward Minato.

Minato then explained, "This is the belly of the toad gourd from Mount Myōboku. It has naturally formed a barrier. Simply put, it is a place completely isolated from the outside world, and it is also an absolutely secret place."

"That's amazing."

Sento, unwilling to give up, observed again with his Byakugan, but still gained nothing, and then withdrew his gaze, his eye area becoming smooth again.

Tatsuma also leaped onto the bridge and said to Tenka, "Now you can speak with peace of mind."

Tianfeng nodded and said, "That person is called Ziyu. I only learned about his identity when I saw the intelligence. After the war, he became a strong contender for the next ninja leader of Kumogakure."

The head of the Cloud Village ninja is equivalent in meaning and status to the leader of the Konoha Jonin team. The leader of the Konoha Jonin team is Nara Shikato, and the next one will most likely be Nara Shikaku.

Such ninjas are extremely important to a village, and both Tatsuma and Minato showed solemn expressions.

It was initially thought that Tianfeng's target of revenge was just an ordinary Jonin from Kumogakure. If it were just an ordinary Jonin, Kumogakure wouldn't have paid a heavy price to pursue the matter excessively after ambushing and killing him.

However, regardless of how much the Hidden Cloud Village is willing to pay, the strength and talent of the ninja leader are unmatched by ordinary Jonin, making revenge extremely difficult.

Fortunately, this guy named Ziyou is only one of the strong contenders for the ninja leader position, not the leader yet, so there is still a chance.

Tatsuma asked, "I vaguely remember this Suzuyui, but she hasn't seemed to be making any moves lately, has she? Or has the Security Department uncovered something new?"

Tianfeng nodded and said without hesitation, "That's right, as I just said, the intelligence about him discovered by the Security Department is related to the mission you and Minato went to the Land of Lightning before."

To be precise, it's related to your motives.

"Kushina?!"

Originally not planning to go onto the bridge, Minato, not wanting to add any burden to the paper bridge, frowned and instantly appeared behind Tatsuma, looking at Tenka with extremely serious eyes.

Tatsuma frowned as well. Their actions in the Land of Lightning were known to many people because of the Hidden Cloud Village's initiative to make them public, but the motive behind the mission was a classified matter.

But Tatsuma quickly realized that it was understandable that Tenka knew about this, since investigating spies in Kumogakure would inevitably involve interrogation and torture.

It's quite reasonable to learn from the discovered spies from Kumogakure that the village intended to kidnap Kushina.

Tatsuma narrowed his eyes. If the Uchiha only knew that Kumogakure intended to kidnap Kushina, that would be fine. But if the fact that Kushina was the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was also guessed as a result, that would be bad.

Tatsuma raised his hand, signaling Minato not to rush, then took over the conversation, asking Tenka seriously, "Tenka, I have a question for you. Do you know... Uzumaki Kushina's identity?"

"What you really want to ask is...whether the Uchiha clan knows about this, right?"

With his Sharingan activated, Tenfeng seemed to have gained a significant advantage in intelligence. Seeing Tatsuma nod, Tenfeng continued, "Some people know, but not everyone knows."

The interrogation of the spies from Kumogakure was personally handled by the clan head. The abduction of Kushina by Kumogakure, and the reasons behind it, were known to only a very few people even within the Security Department.

I also found out by chance.

"I'm afraid it's not a coincidence. It seems I really need to find some time to invite your young clan leader to a meal."

Tatsuma glanced at the bewildered Sento out of the corner of his eye, then looked at Tenfu and said, "Alright, let's talk about Suzuyui. What does he have to do with this? The previous investigation in the village indicated that Suzuyui wasn't the person in charge of the Hidden Cloud Village."

"That's not true. According to the Security Department's investigation, Kumogakure had two plans at the time. Besides Kushina, there was another plan and another target for abduction."

However, because Ziyou was not yet the ninja leader, his plan was rejected.

As he spoke, Tianfeng glanced at Qiandou. Qiandou, startled by that strange look, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, goosebumps rising on his skin. He glared at Tianfeng and said, "Why are you looking at me?"

"You are another target to be kidnapped in this plan, and you are also Yui's target."

"What?! Why?!"

Qian Dou suddenly tightened his collar, his expression indescribable.

"Chito, don't forget, you are from the main branch of the Hyuga clan. There's a possibility that your Byakugan might be lost."

Tatsuma looked at Sento, pursed his lips, and said, "Perhaps you cannot be controlled by Kumogakure, but you can reproduce, and you should also have other things in your mind that Kumogakure is interested in."

"What? I have no access to the village's secrets."

Qian Dou quickly denied it. His life had been so simple for the past ten years. His biggest secret was that he had already accepted Tian Feng as a friend in his heart. But what would the Hidden Cloud Village want with such a secret?

"Before I went to Kumogakure to carry out my mission, I actually learned some things about Kumogakure. There is a very interesting technique in Kumogakure that I have also faced. It is a very powerful technique."

The principle behind this technique is to release chakra through every acupoint in the body, forming a protective chakra layer on the skin's surface. Does that sound familiar?

"Return to Heaven?"

Sento was taken aback, but quickly said, "No, it should be Lightning Release Chakra Mode? But Kumogakure already has this technique, so why would they want to turn back time?"

"Releasing chakra through acupoints is an extremely difficult technique, and there is no learning system for it. Even Jonin can only release chakra through a few acupoints in the body."

As he spoke, Tatsuma thrust out a palm strike, the Hyuga clan's signature empty palm strike, and then continued, "I learned to release chakra with both hands because you used your Byakugan to pinpoint the exact location of my acupoints."

Even so, I've put in a lot of time practicing, but you? You can release chakra through your acupoints so easily. I think it's not just because of the Byakugan, is it?

"Was it really that difficult for you to do this?"

Tianfeng scratched his melon-shaped head and said, "Aren't acupoints supposed to allow chakra to flow freely? The difficulty of the Rejuvenation Technique is simply balancing the chakra output from each acupoint."

"Of course not, so you know the value of your body, or rather, your Hyuga clan's body, to the Lightning Release Chakra Mode technique, right?"

This is a physical condition that can greatly lower the learning threshold of Lightning Release Chakra Mode. If combined with the Byakugan that can see through acupoints and meridians, then one plus one is far greater than two.

Moreover, the Lightning Release Chakra Mode is not without its drawbacks. I used Rasengan to strike the Third Raikage A's Lightning Release Chakra Armor. Although I couldn't damage the armor, I was still able to cause some deformation.

The lightning armor, which is in close contact with the skin, can cause damage to the skin and other subcutaneous tissues due to its deformation. If the deformation is large enough, even if the lightning armor cannot be broken through, it can still severely injure or even kill them.

"This is what I meant by what's on your mind that Kumogakure cares about."

Upon hearing Tatsuma's words, Sento realized what was happening and said, "Are they trying to use the Eight Trigrams Reversal to improve their own technique?"

"It's not about whether they want to or not, but whether you can. Of course, the most direct reason is probably because of your disdainful looks and your fertility."

"That's a really harsh thing to say. You're making me sound like a stud pig."

After making his sarcastic remark, Sento's expression turned extremely serious. He said, "So, in other words, if one day this Suzuyui becomes the leader of the Hidden Cloud Village, she's very likely to turn against our Hyuga clan?"

"It seems you're not so stupid as to be beyond redemption."

Tianfeng crossed his arms and looked at Qiandou. Qiandou's expression changed, and he said, "A person like that can't continue to live. Tianfeng, you won't blame me for killing the person you wanted to kill, will you?"

"Each relies on their own abilities."

"Okay, it's a deal. We'll see who has the best skills."

Sento nodded, then reached out to Tenkaichi and said, "Give me a detailed report on Suzuyui."

"I said it's up to you to do your own thing, or... you can beg me."
