I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 301 The "Crying Wolf" technique, used in reverse, can also have unexpected effects.

"Tatsuma? You."

Minato looked at Tatsuma who had suddenly appeared, but quickly paused, realizing that Tatsuma's reaction wouldn't be this slow. However, the newcomer had indeed arrived beside him using the Flying Thunder God Technique. He asked, "Shadow Clone?"

"Um."

Tatsuma's shadow clone nodded, then said, "You take your men and leave. I'm going to cast a spell."

Minato nodded and instantly moved the earwigs and Gamabunta, who were in the same battle circle as him, away. When the rogue ninjas saw that Minato and the others had disappeared, they rushed towards the only remaining shadow clone of Tatsuma.

The shadow clone also began to form hand seals, and the order of the hand seals was almost identical to that of the main body.

"Flying Thunder God Guided Thunder!" *2

The main body and the shadow clone completed the hand seals simultaneously, and huge spell nets unfolded in front of them. The spell nets swallowed the fire dragon's head. In the eyes of Rasa and the others, it was as if the fire dragon's head disappeared instantly, leaving only its body.

But in the distance, in front of the shadow clone's technique, a fiery dragon head suddenly appeared, and the blazing flames directly engulfed several of the fastest rogue ninjas who were closest to Tatsuma's shadow clone.

"Roar~"

The fire dragon roared, and more and more bodies emerged from the spell net. With their bodies swaying and claws waving, several more rogue ninjas were engulfed by the flames.

"Bang!"

The moment the fire dragon completely disappeared, the shadow clone vanished, leaving Tatsuma with his last remaining chakra.

The fire dragon did not break the stalemate between Tatsuma and Rasa, but it did disrupt the balance between Minato and the others in their battle against the rogue ninja. The enemies that Minato, Earwig, and Gamabunta were originally dealing with were swallowed up by the fire dragon.

Minato immediately joined the battle between Tenka and Izumi, and Bunta and Earwig followed suit as soon as they came to their senses. In an instant, the balance was broken and the scales tipped in Minato's favor.

Karura and Rasa were both somewhat speechless when they saw that Tatsuma had actually used their methods to eliminate the rogue ninja. Was this just doing someone else's bidding?

Although Yashamaru was shocked, he was more focused on Tatsuma's methods, so most of his attention was on Tatsuma. At this moment, he pointed at Tatsuma and shouted:

"He's out of chakra!"

Although he was discovered, Chenma's hands did not stop. He still put the soldier's ration pill into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

The hidden talent of rapid digestion brought by [Massive Capacity] transformed the soldier's ration pills he had just swallowed into physical strength. Just as Tatsuma was about to refine the physical strength into chakra, Rasa and Karura's attacks arrived.

"Magnetic Escape! Rain of gold dust arrows!"

"Secret Technique! Sand Shuriken!"

The dense attacks almost completely enveloped Chenma, with some even circling behind or below him. Even the incredibly strong third Rashomon barrier beneath his feet couldn't protect him.

Tatsuma quickly analyzed the situation. The simplest way was to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach Minato's location and avoid the attacks, but that would only muddy the already separated battlefield.

As for dodging? With such a dense barrage of attacks, he would definitely be hit. If he didn't have the hidden danger of the Divine Tree cells, Tatsuma would choose this method because he was very confident in his medical ninjutsu.

He can either defend directly, or he can use defensive techniques. Although he doesn't have techniques like Rejuvenation or Shukaku's Shield that are touted as absolute defenses, he still has some defensive methods, such as...

"Ninja Art! Lion's Mane Technique!"

This technique, which Tatsuma hadn't used in actual combat for a long time, was unleashed once again. His wildly growing silver-white curly hair wrapped around him like cotton.

At the same time, a shuriken slid down from behind him.

"Pfft pfft pfft pfft~"

The sand arrows and the sand shuriken all disappeared into the thick tuft of curly hair. Tatsuma felt that his natural curls, at least when using this technique, still had a certain amplifying effect in terms of defense.

Seeing that all the attacks had been neutralized, Luo Sha frowned and was about to launch another attack.

But just then, he felt some unusual shockwaves coming from the gold dust beneath his feet.

"Be careful!"

Rasa shouted, but two arms had already reached out from the sandy ground, grabbed Yashamaru's ankles, and pulled him downwards.

The yellow sand and gold dust surged together, seemingly intent on strangling Tatsuma beneath the ground. And indeed, as they had hoped, the powerful constricting force tore Tatsuma apart before he could even pull Yashamaru into the ground.

"Bang!"

But then a cloud of smoke rose again, and a flash of silver light appeared. Everyone's attention was focused on Yashamaru and the people underground, so they reacted a beat too late.

"Rasengan!"

Tatsuma grabbed his Toyako with his left hand and held up a chakra ball with his right, appearing among the eight people. He pressed the Rasengan against the chest of a Sunagakure ANBU member, while the Toyako kunai beheaded another ANBU member.

When Karura and Rasa reacted and tried to retaliate, the dazzling silver light flashed again, and Tatsuma had already disappeared, leaving only a kunai falling freely.

The counterattack of yellow sand and gold dust failed, and in the midst of the entanglement, the fallen kunai entered the blind spot. Just as Rasa and Karura shifted their attention to look for Tatsuma's figure, the annoying silver light reappeared.

It was the same old routine: a kunai to slit the throat followed by a Rasengan to the chest. In just two seconds, the original 8-1+1 team was reduced to only four members.

Rasa, Karura, Yashamaru, and an unease-ridden member from the Dark Division.

Tatsuma did not choose to attack the three because he knew that each of them possessed I-Sanoh, Tsuma-Sanoh, and I-Sister-Sanoh.

Despite the fact that Karura seemed to have consumed a lot of chakra due to the release of powerful secret techniques, Tatsuma didn't believe in Karura's chakra reserves. This woman's protective power was simply too extraordinary.

Moreover, Tatsuma is not in good condition right now. Although he killed four people in an instant with a sneak attack, he also exhausted the little chakra he had just recovered.

Although the ration pills in his body are constantly being converted into physical strength, and the physical strength is constantly being refined into chakra, this takes time. Moreover, with his current body, one or two ration pills cannot restore a high percentage of his chakra.

Just like a bowl of rice can satisfy an ordinary person's appetite, but for a big eater, it can only fill the gap between their teeth.

Compared to people like Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki, Tatsuma's chakra reserves are like the stomach of an anorexic, but compared to the energy provided by a single soldier's ration pill, he is undoubtedly a glutton.

Hiding behind Rashomon, Tatsuma regulated his breathing. He knew that this kind of hiding wouldn't fool Rasa and the others, but every extra second meant a little more energy to recover, so he had to wait patiently.

On the other hand, Rasa was momentarily tense, unsure whether Tatsuma would pull off another surprise attack. So the four of them formed a swastika formation, back to back, so that even if Tatsuma could use the Flying Thunder God Technique, he couldn't appear behind them.

With a slightly trembling body, Yashamaru said, as if judging or comforting himself, "That kind of ninjutsu was so destructive, it must have consumed a lot of energy."

That Sakamoto Tatsuma definitely has no chakra left; it's impossible for him to have any more chakra.

Rasa frowned. Just now, Yashamaru had judged that Tatsuma's chakra was exhausted, but in the blink of an eye, Tatsuma used the Flying Thunder God Technique to launch a counterattack and then two strange ninjutsu.

Although he usually takes care of Yashamaru, at this moment, he finds Yashamaru's presence very irritating.

Karura seemed to notice Rasa's unusual behavior and said in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Upon hearing this, Luo Sha's expression softened slightly. He took a deep breath and said, "Our reinforcements should be arriving soon. All we need to do is keep them here."

When our reinforcements arrive, the Konoha ninja, exhausted from their fierce battles, will certainly be unable to cope with our Sand Ninja forces.

His words calmed down Yashamaru and another Sunagakure ANBU member. Rasa was the disciple of the Third Kazekage, so he certainly wouldn't lie to them!

However, Rosa's expression did not ease. In order to fight, he had concentrated too much gold dust around him, making it difficult for him to perceive the situation on the outside. Although Karura also had some perception ability, he was not good at long-distance perception.

Karura is a very gentle girl, but at the same time, she is very suitable to be a ninja. She is too sensitive to people's emotions and can often sense the enemy's attack intentions before anyone else can react.

Perhaps for this reason, Karura has become accustomed to practicing defensive ninjutsu, believing that this will allow her to better protect her comrades.

But now they need more than just that; they also need to sense the situation at a distance, whether any new rogue ninja are coming from the outside, or how far away their reinforcements are. That's what they urgently need.

Because the number of rogue ninjas is decreasing. The original group of nearly fifty rogue ninjas has now dwindled to less than ten.

Moreover, all ten rogue ninjas had some injuries, and two of them had even lost an arm. The remaining few would soon be overwhelmed and killed by Minato and his men.

Once all the rogue ninjas have been wiped out, then Tatsuma's Konoha ANBU squad can turn their attention to them and concentrate their forces to deal with the few rogue ninjas they are facing.

If we disregard the summoning beasts, they are all four-person teams, but Luo Sha knows that their four people are far inferior to Chen Ma's four people.

Tatsuma alone has all sorts of ways to make them look bad. Even though his three teammates are not as good as him, they can still provide some assistance.

Not to mention that Tatsuma's teammates can provide him with more than just a little help. Take Minato Namikaze, for example, who is also a ninja skilled in the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The shadow cast by Tatsuma's Flying Thunder God technique has not yet dissipated.

Rasa couldn't sense what was happening in the distance, but Tatsuma could. Rasa's expression was grim, and Tatsuma's wasn't much better.

In Tatsuma's perception, thirteen ninjas were rushing towards this place. Almost all thirteen of them had reached the level of Jonin. Two of them had not yet reached the level, but they might still be Jonin, perhaps just because they were exhausted.

This was definitely not something they could handle after being repeatedly exhausted. Tatsuma pursed his lips, glanced at Minato, and saw Minato use the somewhat disjointed Flying Thunder God Technique Second Stage to kill the last rogue ninja.

Tatsuma made a decision: today's gains were enough, even excessive. Not only had he killed more than forty rogue ninja, but he had also killed five Sunagakure ANBU members and even captured the head of one of them.

Thinking of this, Tatsuma gave a tactical hand signal to Minato and the earwig in the distance, a signal to prepare for retreat. Minato and the earwig nodded, but Tenka was out of sight at the moment.

Even if Tianfeng could see it, Chenma would most likely keep it from him, since Tianfeng's stability is still too poor.

Minato communicated with Bunta and Ike, but the howling wind drowned out his voice. Meanwhile, the earwigs were seizing the time to collect one head after another.

Of course, he doesn't just take back any heads. He didn't take back the heads of the few that Tianfeng fought when he activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, because... who knows if those people saw anything before they died.

Those of you, just give your insects a little extra food. You lost more than half of your insects today, so you need to feed them to help them multiply quickly.

Minato was making preparations for the retreat, while Tatsuma had reached a strange balance with Rasa and the other three. Watching Minato and the others quickly finish up, Tatsuma also took out two rolls of paper.

Enjoy this gift.
