I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 285 Those who have never seen the light do not even know the existence of darkness.

"The Dark Travel Technique!"

Once the seal was completed and the spell was activated, Chenma's visual perception was completely stripped away, and his blood-red pupils and pure whites of his eyes turned pitch black.

Not to mention chakra-mimicking waves, even real light waves cannot be received by Tatsuma's eyes at this moment. Tatsuma's eyesight is worse than that of a person who has become blind later in life.

Some people who become blind due to acquired factors can still receive some light, but Chenma's eyes cannot receive even a trace of light at this time, just like the most severely congenitally blind person.

Even the darkness that ordinary people experience when they close their eyes is not difficult for Tatsuma to perceive. If he hadn't seen color, he might not even know what darkness is.

The essence of this technique is actually closing your eyes, but closing your eyes is not safe because the thin eyelids cannot block the light at all.

Moreover, in his past battles, Tatsuma was unable to look away from his eyes, so even if he closed his eyes or avoided looking at Tenka, it was not safe for him.

Instinct is called instinct because it is difficult to change, and even in the process of being dominated by subjective consciousness, instinct can take center stage.

Perhaps for some Jonin who are proficient in, or at least whose weakness is genjutsu, they don't need to be as ruthless as Tatsuma. They just need to avoid the most direct genjutsu attack and then quickly dispel the genjutsu.

But Tatsuma is different. Genjutsu has always been his weakness. He has to be careful when facing other enemies, let alone the Uchiha clan.

To avoid making a fool of yourself, you have to be extremely cautious, even if it means paying a price that others can hardly understand.

At this moment, Tianfeng also made eye contact with Chenma, but after just one glance, he was stunned because he couldn't find the focus of Chenma's eyes at all. No, at this moment, Chenma didn't even have eyes.

Those dark eyes were like a stagnant pool of water, an extreme blackness with a 100% light absorption rate, completely absorbing light waves without any reflection or effect.

Tatsuma's steps did not stop, showing no signs of being imprisoned by the magical shackles.

"Something's happened!"

The thought flashed through Tianfeng's mind. The panic caused by the failed illusion caused him to miss a beat, and in that short time, Chenma was enough to get in front of him and launch an attack.

The perception technique isn't that magical. Apart from a few perception techniques that require special conditions to activate, being able to sense the location and volume of chakra is already the limit.

However, Chenma has a very good memory. Although he gave up the extra boost from [Walking Horse] and couldn't really remember everything he saw, his already excellent memory was enough for him to remember Tianfeng's position and posture.

In his perception, Tianfeng's position had not changed, which also meant that his posture had not changed much. Therefore, Chenma directly threw a powerful punch at Tianfeng's face.

"Phew~"

The whistling wind brushed past Tianfeng's ears, and he could even feel his earlobes and helixes shaking rapidly. A slight stinging sensation was also transmitted from his ear canal to his brain.

Sento was also extremely nervous. If he hadn't pulled Tianfeng back just now, Tianfeng would have had Tatsuma's fist imprint on his face.

"Lightning Release! Swift Lightning Arrow!"

Before the two could savor the joy of surviving a close call, bolts of lightning bolts shot toward them. Chenma, who had missed with his punch, stepped forward to assist his waist rotation and then delivered another spinning elbow strike.

"Eight Trigrams! Reversal of Fortune!"

Caught in a pincer attack, and with Tianfeng still reeling from the shock, Qian Dou had no better way to deal with it and could only use Rejuvenation once again.

"boom!"

The hastily activated Rejuvenation Technique had some issues with the balance of chakra output, and it was defeated after only a moment of sustaining it.

However, the time that Huitian bought allowed Tianfeng to fully regain his senses. He formed hand seals and then slammed one hand on the ground.

"Uchiha Flame Formation!"

A crimson wall of fire erupted from the ground, and the lightning arrows struck the wall, burning away as they spread. Meanwhile, Tatsuma, who had been pursuing them, seemed to have sensed something and retreated immediately.

"Tatsuma seems to have shut down his vision."

Seeing that Chenma had accidentally tripped over a stone while backing up, and recalling Chenma's previous performance, Tianfeng quickly said.

Tianfeng didn't accuse Chenma of cheating, since Chenma had agreed to simulate ninjutsu, but instead used a technique unique to Konoha and extremely rare even in Konoha.

Theoretically, it was indeed cheating or cheating, but although Tenka and Sento weren't entirely clear about Tatsuma's weaknesses in illusion techniques, it was certain that Tatsuma's illusion techniques were definitely not outstanding.

However, true Cloud Ninja Jonin wouldn't do that. Even if they weren't good at it, they wouldn't need to do as much preparation work in advance as Tatsuma did.

Tatsuma's use of the Dark Walk Technique was merely to close the gap with the Cloud Ninja's resistance to illusions. If Tenfu were aiming to defeat Tatsuma, he would have been targeting Tatsuma's use of the technique beyond its limits. But no, his opponent was a candidate for the Cloud Ninja's leader.

Upon hearing this, Sento even muttered, "Isn't this a bit unfair? The Cloud Ninja aren't blind. If Tatsuma just gives up his vision like this, his strength will definitely be greatly reduced, right?"

Although he spoke in a low voice, his words did not escape Tatsuma's ears. Tatsuma shook his head and said, "You... seem to be overestimating yourselves."

With just a casual remark, the two, who had been feeling uneasy about their perceived overwhelming advantage, were once again in a state of heightened agitation. Their necks stiffened, and Sento angrily said:

"Then don't blame me for bullying you, you blind person!"

With that, he used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to head towards Tatsuma. Tenka wanted to follow, but Minato fired another Swift Arrow, blocking his path.

Just now, Tatsuma was targeting Tenka, while Minato was responsible for attacking Sento. It wouldn't be bad to switch them now.

"Eight Trigrams! Sixty-Four Palms!"

Sento's thinking was very clear. Although Tatsuma's vision was obstructed, Tatsuma's perception was obviously very strong. He knew this, after all, Tatsuma and Minato had both followed Inuzuka and Aburame on infiltration missions.

As a clan that also possesses sensory abilities, the Hyuga clan has had considerable contact with both clans during missions, and thus naturally knows that many people in both clans highly regard and praise Tatsuma's sensory abilities.

Therefore, large-scale ninjutsu, or techniques that require an enormous amount of chakra, are no different from being seen directly by Tatsuma, so he attacked Tatsuma before Amefumi could.

In Bagua Soft Fist, there are actually only two techniques that can be clearly perceived by the senses: one is Reversal of Heaven, and the other is Empty Palm. Apart from these two techniques, other techniques in Soft Fist are difficult to detect by the senses.

In particular, the Bagua Sixty-Four Palms, which focuses on striking acupoints, involves every change in chakra at the moment of contact with the opponent's acupoints, and uses very little chakra, just to block the opponent's acupoints and meridians, making it difficult for even sensory techniques to detect.

He struck at Chenma's various acupoints with his palms. Chenma frowned. He couldn't see or sense them, but with the help of the wind and his understanding of Bagua Soft Fist, he managed to dodge some of them.

Combined with his superhuman strength and burst of chakra, he also blocked Sento's attempts to strike his pressure points several times. The chakra neutralized the attack, preventing Sento's chakra from invading his body.

Sento's expression was also extremely solemn. He hadn't expected that Tatsuma, who had blocked his vision, could actually hold his own against him in a physical combat battle.

"Shadow Dance Leaf!"

Sento didn't rigidly complete the sixty-four palm strikes. He suddenly changed his approach midway, unleashing a burst of power completely opposite to the Eight Trigrams Soft Fist. He activated the Konoha Style Hard Fist Taijutsu and kicked directly at Tatsuma's chin.

Hearing the sound of the wind, Tatsuma judged the location of the attack and pressed down with both hands to block. However, the two completely opposite forces still made Tatsuma feel a little unaccustomed to dealing with them.

He pressed down for too long, and when Sento's feet landed again, Tatsuma hadn't even gotten up yet. Sento seized the opportunity and continued his attack.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

Turning around and kicking upwards, Tatsuma quickly blocked with his elbow, and at the same time, he performed a forward slam. However, Sento's Konoha Fluid Technique was learned from Dai, so not only were his moves and strength proficient, but his combat experience was also extremely rich.

The upper kick was retracted before it was fully extended, and after switching to the pivot foot, the lower kick swept towards Tatsuma's head as he crouched low and charged.

"Konoha Gale!"

Tatsuma struggled to make a precise judgment, but his greater combat experience compared to Sento allowed him to react, slamming his right elbow down from his ear.

"Bang!"

The two forces canceled each other out, and Tatsuma used the momentum to get up and retreat. Sento quickly followed, gathering chakra in his right hand and striking at Tatsuma.

"Eight Trigrams! Mountain-Shattering Strike!"

The movement was a bit long, but Tatsuma had already reacted. He used both hands to deflect Sento's hand with a flick of his wrist. However, the difference in strength caused Tatsuma's movements to become slightly disjointed.

Although he deflected Sento's attack, he was unable to follow up with a counterattack. In the instant they passed each other, they turned around at the same time. Tatsuma received a turning elbow strike, while Sento returned a shoulder-hugging elbow strike.

"Bang!"

The clash of their physical techniques actually cracked the ground, and both of them took two steps back. Tatsuma pursed his lips. His ability to switch between the Thousand Fist and the Gentle Fist was too smooth, making it difficult for his enemies to judge and get used to.

Even Tatsuma himself made several misjudgments, and his rhythm seemed to be slightly blocked by Sento, preventing him from unleashing his monstrous strength.

Tatsuma shook his hands to relieve the soreness and numbness, then sensed the condition of Sento and Tenka, knowing that it was almost time to end the meeting. Of course, before ending it, he had to leave the two with some deep memories.

Sento was also not having an easy time. Although his advantage in vision and the ability to switch between two types of energy that are difficult for ordinary people to adapt to made him hold his own against Tatsuma, he was even better at controlling the situation than Tatsuma.

However, Tatsuma was too strong and his bones were too hard. Sento was able to withstand Tatsuma's elbow strikes several times in a row. Through his Byakugan, Sento could already see the tiny cracks in his bones at the point of impact.

Just as Sento was trying to figure out how to get out of this awkward situation, he heard Tatsuma say, "I'm almost done warming up. Now, enjoy the experience!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tatsuma formed a hand seal, creating a special seal called the All-Encompassing Seal. In an instant, Tatsuma's chakra merged into the chaotic airflow caused by the battle.

Although he still couldn't "see" Sento's movements, the change in the wind direction, coupled with the [Divine Strategist], was enough for Tatsuma to deduce Sento's behavior.

Not far away, Tenka, half-charred, was panting behind a large tree. Minato, who was not far away, heard Tatsuma's voice and said, "It seems I have to deal with this as soon as possible."

The next moment, the Instantaneous Movement Technique was activated, and with the extremely high speed, two golden and silver figures appeared in the forest, accompanied by screams.

"Ahhhhh~~~"

"ah!!!!"
