I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 284 Accurately Stepping on Landmines is Also an Art; Master It and You'll Be a Master of Trash Talk

The most offensive trash talk is the kind that hits right in the heart. As soon as Chenma finished speaking, Tianfeng and Qiandou, who were still a little uncomfortable, immediately went into a state of extreme heat.

Sento thought of his experiences in the first ten years of his life. He was one of the few children in the "separation family" who was not marked with the Caged Bird Seal, but he never felt superior to others.

Because he knew long ago that he wasn't one who was guaranteed not to be marked with the curse, since he wasn't from the main family.

If his uncle is willing to marry and have children, he will be marked with the Caged Bird Seal when his uncle's offspring are born, becoming one of the hundreds or thousands of Hyuga branch family members, and then spending his whole life serving the main family.

He was a lucky child. His uncle's guilt towards his father was passed on to him, so his uncle would rather betray the girl he loved than have his nephew branded with a curse.

After his uncle's death, he was no longer bound by the Caged Bird Seal and became a respected head of the Hyuga branch family.

But he was also an unfortunate child. His "high status" was earned through the misfortune and death of his relatives. In recent years, some rumors in the clan have continued to this day.

Moreover, as the special one, his peers who separated from the family when he was a child did not play with him because he was the special one in the family. After he became the head of the main family, the people in the main family also rarely had contact with him because he was also the special one in the main family.

Chenma is right. He even got his freedom by the charity of those corrupt people in his clan. It was those corrupt people who shouted that the laws of the ancestors could not be changed, and from the moment he was born, they wanted to put him under the curse of the caged bird.

Even if he becomes the head of the main family and gains certain freedom, it is only because those corrupt people are unwilling to let the Hyuga family lose a branch that they reluctantly agreed to let him inherit his uncle's position in the main family.

In the past, Qian Dou could silently endure all of this, but when such words came from the mouth of his friend, his mental defenses crumbled.

The Tenka clan is similar, a naturally evil clan. Every Uchiha has heard this saying, and Sento teases him for bullying men and women in the village every day.

But in reality, regardless of whether the Uchiha Police Department's actions are justified, as long as a non-Uchiha person is harmed, even if that person is a criminal, the Uchiha Police Department, which enforces the law, will be condemned.

The villagers didn't care what they did; whatever they did was evil and endangered the village because they were inherently evil—how could they do good?

That kind of inexplicable hatred seems to be something that the Uchiha are born to bear. Why should they?

Tianfeng's aura grew heavy, and the tomoe in his eyes swirled faster as he stared intently at Chenma, as if trying to see through him.

Chenma's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a sense of satisfaction. This was the effect he wanted. The opponent that Qiandou and Tianfeng wanted to defeat was their enemy, their blood feud.

Therefore, not only combat skills must be simulated, but also emotions when facing the enemy must be simulated as much as possible, in order to make them feel hatred towards Tatsuma in the shortest possible time.

The simplest thing is to reopen their wounds.

Tatsuma's raised finger fell back to its original position, the almost inaudible sound of his fingertip touching his clothes serving as a signal.

Chenma suddenly sprang up, unleashing his monstrous strength, and strode towards Tianfeng in front of him, his advancing punch directly colliding with Tianfeng.

Minato, who had only received Tatsuma's signal, also sprang into action. Compared to Tatsuma, he was only slightly slower, instantly arriving beside Sento with a chakra ball crackling with lightning in his hand.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The speed was so fast that Tenka and Sento couldn't keep up at all. Even with the help of the three-tomoe Sharingan, Tenka only had time to cross his hands in front of him to protect himself before Tatsuma's fist landed directly on his left forearm.

Tenka, who possessed the Byakugan's 360-degree unobstructed vision, managed to catch Minato's movement, but his body didn't keep up. Halfway through his twisting waist to dodge, Minato's chakra ball imprinted itself on his ribs.

Two figures flew backward, dragging across the ground. The damp forest floor did not stir up any dust, making everything clearly visible.

Tianfeng's left forearm, which was hanging down, was clearly deformed. His distorted features and pale face also indicated the intensity of the attack he had suffered.

Sento was half-crouched on the ground, a large hole torn in the left side of his clothes. The charred edges of the hole and the exposed, equally charred skin indicated that he had not been able to stop the attack.

"Your hand."

But Sento, who trained his physical techniques day after day, recovered first. He stood in front of Tenfeng, warily watching Tatsuma and Minato in the distance. Tenfeng grabbed his left elbow and said:

"It's not serious."

As he spoke, he ran his right hand along his left forearm, setting the broken bone back in place. Several skewer sticks appeared in his hand, along with a steel wire.

After securing the senbon needles and wire to his left forearm, Tianfeng carefully moved his left fingers. They were very painful, and his dexterity was greatly reduced. It had an impact, but it wasn't enough to make him lose his fighting ability.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"

Before Tianfeng could make any further attempts, Minato activated his ninjutsu again. Amidst flashes of electricity in the air, lightning balls appeared and hurtled towards the two of them.

It covered a very wide area and was extremely fast, leaving no time to dodge. Moreover, with the Thousand-Handed Byakugan activated, they saw Tatsuma appear not far behind them, heading straight for them.

"Eight Trigrams! Reversal of Fortune!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Sento stomped on the ground, and his chakra burst forth from every acupoint in his body, forming a chakra sphere that enveloped him and Tenka.

At the same time, Minato's lightning ball and Tatsuma's advanced elbow strike arrived simultaneously.

"Bang! Rumble~"

The lightning ball crashed down on the Rejuvenation Orb, exploding with dazzling lightning. The entire Rejuvenation Orb trembled violently, while Chenma's elbow strike, unleashed with his monstrous strength, was like a finger pressing down on a balloon, severely deforming the Rejuvenation Orb and causing ripples to spread.

The entire sphere of the Rejuvenation Sphere looks like a jelly being shaken.

"Leave Tatsuma to me!"

Tianfeng stood up, back to back behind Qiandou, his hands awkwardly forming hand seals. He then took a deep breath and prepared himself.

Sento glanced at the fading lightning, stopped channeling chakra, and the already shaky Rotation Sphere vanished instantly. At almost the same time, Tenka spewed out flames from his mouth.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

The Uchiha-style Fire Release technique was spewed out from Tianfeng's mouth, transforming into a wisp of fire that swelled with the wind, turning into a sea of ​​fire that spewed towards Chenma.

"Bagua! Empty palm!"

Sento also unleashed palm strike after palm strike, the chakra-driven palm winds continuously scattering the remaining lightning.

Faced with the oncoming sea of ​​fire, Tatsuma did not use his most proficient and easiest-to-deal-with Water Release technique, but instead unleashed his monstrous strength once again, with chakra bursting forth from his body.

Although it wasn't a precise and unobstructed outpouring from all the body's acupoints, the turbulent airflow it stirred up still formed a protective shield in front of Chenma. Without pausing, Chenma charged directly into the sea of ​​fire.

"Lightning Release! Takemikaze Hidden Spiral Martial Hammer Second Form!"

Minato then condensed another chakra ball crackling with lightning in his hand and threw it toward Sento. Sento's Byakugan widened as he watched the movement of the Lightning Release Rasengan.

But in a certain instant, the chakra ball disappeared from his sight.

Sento's eyes widened in horror. His instincts told him that Minato couldn't have done something in vain, especially considering the amount of chakra Minato had poured into the chakra ball, which he had just witnessed with his Byakugan.

That was more than three times the power of the first attack. He could withstand Minato's first lightning ball, but he couldn't withstand this one.

Tenka was just as shocked as Sento. He was still spewing flames when he saw Tatsuma directly braving the sea of ​​fire, breaking through the barrier of flames, and arriving in front of him.

Without uttering any unnecessary words or movements, Chenma arrived in front of Tianfeng and delivered a simple palm strike, a massive blow that couldn't be simpler, directly slapping Tianfeng's face.

"Bang!"

The wind flew to the side, and the flames stopped spewing. The arrival of Tatsuma made Sento extremely nervous. Ignoring the disappearing chakra ball, he swung his elbow directly at Tatsuma.

But Tatsuma simply leaned back to dodge Sento's elbow strike, and at the same time kicked out with his leg.

There was no superhuman strength involved; it merely sent Sento staggering forward. Just as Sento was starting to wonder about Tatsuma's attack, he felt as if his soul had become detached from his body.

"Sizzle~"

His body suddenly emitted a large amount of lightning, and the clothes on his chest were twisted up. The next moment, the clothes were torn apart, and strands of charred black appeared on his chest. Even his flesh seemed to be pulled.

"Bang!"

The next moment, Sento was also sent flying backward. Behind him, Tatsuma slightly turned his body, raised his leg, and then swept out!

Like a shot from mid-air, the immense force caused Qian Dou's flight direction to change instantly, landing on Tian Feng, who was tilting his head and rolling his eyes in the distance.

"Hmm!"

After being hit by Sento, Tenfu's Byakugan instantly reverted to Sharingan, and his dizzy head began to clear slightly.

"Aba~ Aba~"

Tianfeng wanted to speak, but his jaw wouldn't obey him and he couldn't lift it. Qiandou turned his head and instantly saw that Tianfeng's jaw was dislocated. Enduring the injury and pain caused by his body being twisted like a towel, he raised his hand and pried Tianfeng's jaw back.

Feeling his chin obey again, Tianfeng swallowed hard, then looked at Chenma and Tianfeng in the distance and said, "How are they so strong?"

A few years ago, when they fought against Tatsuma and Minato, they were still completely outmatched, but they didn't feel like their lives were completely in their hands like they do today.

Is it because Tatsuma and Minato have improved too quickly, or is it because Tatsuma and Minato have never seriously attacked them before?

Sento rubbed his armpits to ease the tearing pain in his chest and said, "Didn't Tatsuma say that Suzuyui will become stronger?"

Upon hearing Sento's words, Tenka's expression darkened once more. They were already completely unable to deal with Tatsuma and Minato, so what about the even more powerful Suyui?

Are we going to give up? Absolutely not!

Tenka helped Sento to his feet and said, "Regardless of Ziyu, we need to figure out how to deal with the battle ahead."

Sento, watching Tatsuma and Minato approach, became alert again, ready to use his ultimate technique at any moment. He then asked in a low voice, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Facing Suzuyui? No, facing Tatsuma I can only use illusion magic."

As he finished speaking, the tomoe in his eyes spun again, and he looked at Tatsuma, activating a visual illusion.

"Magic! The Art of Shackles!"

A wisp of chakra, like a wave, rushed towards Tatsuma's eyes. As long as Tatsuma's eyes received this invisible wave, the genjutsu would be activated.

This wave is like the wave state of light; as long as Tatsuma's eyes have the ability to receive light, he can receive it!

But at the very moment the illusion was activated, Tatsuma's hand, hidden under his sleeve, had already completed the hand seal.

This was a method he came up with to deal with the Uchiha visual illusion technique after spending a whole night. It wasn't a good method; it could even be described as a self-destructive move. But as long as it worked, that was fine.
