I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 319 There's a kind of chemistry where all you need to do is pat someone's butt and tousle their hair and they'll know what to do.

"Who are you?! Why do you possess this kind of chakra?!"

A sharp, childlike scream rang out, and then the swamp was breached by a huge object, sending out a highly corrosive backflow and splattering slime.

A giant slug with six tails appeared, and five diamond chains were attached to her body.

"Six-six tails".

Even though he wasn't a sensory ninja, Hozuki Gengetsu could still sense the surging chakra emanating from the Six-Tails at this moment, and he swallowed hard.

Tatsuma tightened the chains binding him, and his body, like a slingshot, instantly descended onto the top of the Six-Tails' head.

"Who are you?!"

The Six-Tails' voice was filled with impatience and anger, and it began to shake its head, trying to throw Tatsuma off its head. But even on the slippery slime, Tatsuma's body remained very stable.

"hateful!"

Seeing that it couldn't shake off Tatsuma, Rokuwei swung its six tails and slapped them at Tatsuma. Tatsuma crossed its arms and its face was cold and stern.

"snort!"

"Splash splash splash~"

The already short chains tightened even more, and the Six-Tails' body instantly twisted. Its proud head slumped down, and it kept emitting sharp, hoarse roars.

Hozuki Gengetsu's eyelids twitched. This "Takasugi Shinsuke" actually possessed the strength to easily subdue a tailed beast? No, wait, this is not something I can learn!

It must be those chains, the power from the bloodline of that clan!

Thinking of this, Hozuki Gengetsu raised his hands, and water mist condensed again at his fingertips.

"Water Gun! Doren-Din!"

Four more water bullets were launched, and water mist continued to condense at his fingertips. Such water bullets were a very troublesome attack for Chenma.

But now Tatsuma has a feeling that this water bullet is easily destroyed.

He lowered his hands, then raised his right hand again, looked at the incoming water bullet, and struck it away with his bare hands.

"Bang bang bang bang~"

The four water bullets instantly turned into water mist. This scene made Hozuki Gengetsu give up the idea of ​​continuing to attack with the water gun. Although he didn't know what had happened, at this moment, "Takasugi Shinsuke" had received an unimaginable boost in strength.

"Let me see what you're good for!"

Tatsuma reached out and grabbed the Vajra chain connecting the Six-Tails' head, pulling hard. The Six-Tails' head had to be raised, its mouth aimed at Hozuki Gengetsu.

Liuwei hadn't felt this kind of humiliation for many years; the last time seemed to have been decades ago.

The chakra of the person who brought the same humiliation to the Six-Tails back then seems somewhat similar to that of the person who now reigns supreme over him.

In fact, this young man's chakra was even more terrifying than that of the person from decades ago, giving off a sense of fear as if facing a natural enemy.

"Knowing the wolf is rotten!"

For some reason, the Six-Tails chose to obey Tatsuma's orders, spitting out a large amount of highly corrosive mucus, which surged towards the solemn-faced Gengetsu Hozuki like a tidal wave.

"Secret Technique! Water Transformation!"

Hozuki Gengetsu directly watered his body, flowing away with the arriving slime, and then, after shaking off the slime, transformed back into human form.

Tatsuma was somewhat disappointed to see that Hozuki Gengetsu was not injured, but had only used up some chakra.

That's how ninja battles are sometimes: you know your opponent's weaknesses, but you can't exploit them to deliver a fatal blow.

Tatsuma knew very well that the weakness of the Water Transformation Technique was Lightning Release, but among the five basic ninjutsu, Tatsuma was the only one who did not know Lightning Release ninjutsu, so he could not break Hozuki Gengetsu's Water Transformation Technique.

Hozuki Gengetsu seemed to realize that Tatsuma couldn't do anything about his water transformation technique. He looked deeply at the Six-Tails and then at Tatsuma, who was standing on top of the Six-Tails. His eyelids drooped, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Tatsuma had guessed as much as he had. He said, "Want to leave? Do you think it's faster for you to rush back to Kirigakure and bring people to capture me, or for me to pilot the Six-Tails and wreak havoc in the surrounding cities and towns?"

Upon hearing this, Hozuki Gengetsu raised his head, looking at Tatsuma with a scrutinizing gaze, as if wanting to see if Tatsuma would actually do it, and then said:

"Whatever your grievances against the village, these are matters between ninjas, matters within our Hidden Mist Village, and there's no need to involve others."

That makes sense, but... Tatsuma grinned and said, "Then what kind of thing is it for Kirigakure to join forces with the other three ninja villages to attack Uzushiogakure?"

Since Hozuki Gengetsu had already made a distorted guess, he could satisfy him. Hozuki Gengetsu had gone to great lengths to create a persona for him, and all he had to do was put on that persona.

When Hozuki Gengetsu heard him bring up the Uzuki Country incident again, he clicked his tongue in anger, but he didn't know how to answer. However, he stopped in his tracks as he was about to leave.

He dared not gamble, because "Takasugi Shinsuke" was a madman who had just risked his life to drag him down into the swamp.

Would a ninja who doesn't even value his own life care about the lives of ordinary people?

Seeing that Hozuki Gengetsu had no intention of leaving, Tatsuma breathed a sigh of relief. He knew his own situation; he wasn't some ninja who would risk his life.

What he showed Hozuki Gengetsu was only a part of his abilities. Although it was indeed dangerous for him to fall into the swamp earlier, it was not life-threatening at that time.

Even without accidentally entering Sage Mode, he could still use Flying Thunder God Technique to leave after recovering some chakra.

With his mastery of medical ninjutsu, as long as he doesn't die, he can always recover. If it were someone else, he could be saved even if they died.

As for whether Hozuki Gengetsu would actually attack cities and towns as he claimed if he insisted on leaving, that's definitely impossible. He's here to carry out a mission, not to commit anti-human acts.

Tatsuma raised his leg and then kicked the Six-Tails hard on the head, while his hands began to form hand seals.

Although it was their first meeting, Rokuou seemed to understand Tatsuma's meaning, just like an old married couple who knew how to change positions with a simple tap on the butt.

"Knowing the wolf is rotten!"

"Sage Art! Lava Release! Acidic Dragon Bullet Technique!"

The mucus spewed out by the six tails was directly manipulated by Tatsuma, transforming into a giant dragon that tore towards Hozuki Gengetsu.

Of course, his Lava Release wasn't Mei Terumi's Lava Release; it was just a facade achieved by using the Six-Tails' highly corrosive acid.

Hozuki Gengetsu watched as the giant dragon lunged at him, constantly dodging with his blinks. However, the dragon, which appeared to be made of viscous mucus, became extremely agile under Tatsuma's Sage Chakra manipulation.

Even though Hozuki Gengetsu had already reached his maximum speed, Tatsuma was always able to rely on his control over chakra and the massive body of the dragon to continuously "brush" against Hozuki Gengetsu.

This forced Hozuki Gengetsu to frequently use his water transformation technique to evade the dragon's attacks.

"Huff~ Huff~"

Hozuki Gengetsu's breathing became heavy, and even his dodging movements looked somewhat distorted. At one point, he didn't even have time to use the Water Transformation Technique, and the sleeve of his left hand was completely corroded, leaving his bare arm completely red.

Fighting in this swamp consumes far more chakra than in other places, because the Six-Tails' slime makes the entire swamp highly corrosive.

Therefore, standing on the swamp requires a much greater amount of chakra to resist corrosion than standing on water or a tree. At the same time, the Six-Tails' breathing will also release a large amount of strong acid gas, which will corrode the respiratory system of the people around.

As Hozuki Gengetsu continued to wander, more and more damage appeared on his body. The Six-Tails, which was being trampled under Tatsuma's feet, seemed to have sensed Hozuki Gengetsu's abnormality.

It has been under the watchful eye of Hozuki Gengetsu for many years. Although the two cannot communicate due to the barrier, it has observed Hozuki Gengetsu for several years, and knows many of Hozuki Gengetsu's habits, such as his current expression, which he only has when writing letters.

Thinking of this, the six-tailed fox's two tentacles touched lightly, and at this moment, Hozuki Gengetsu also looked over, gave the six-tailed fox a deep look, and continued to flee.

"Thump!"

Tatsuma stomped on the head of the Six-Tails, which was not putting in any effort. The Six-Tails let out a sharp screech, seemingly very dissatisfied, but it still obediently raised its head, and a massive and terrifying amount of chakra began to gather.

The tailed beasts' unique positive and negative chakra constantly merged and condensed into a huge purplish-black chakra ball.

"Tailed Beast Ball!"

Upon seeing the Tailed Beast Ball appear, Hozuki Gengetsu panicked and quickened his pace, dodging the acid dragon while moving away from the direction the Tailed Beast Ball was aiming at.

However, the distance that the Tailed Beast Ball, which is at the center, needs to move to adjust its direction is much shorter than that of Hozuki Gengetsu.

"boom!"

The Tailed Beast Ball was suddenly unleashed, heading straight towards Hozuki Gengetsu. Hozuki Gengetsu was terrified, his face contorting in a ferocious expression. He unleashed a speed beyond his limits, frantically trying to escape.

Finally, just as the Tailed Beast Ball arrived, he reached the edge of it. With just one more step, he could avoid being hit directly by the Tailed Beast Ball.

But at that moment, a specially designed kunai flew from a distance and passed in front of him. Hozuki Gengetsu's first reaction was that the enemy had missed.

But in the next instant, he caught a glimpse of silver light in his eyes. The kunai with the words "Lake Toya" engraved on its handle was being held by a not-so-clean hand. Finally, his eyes met a pair of scarlet eyes.

"Magic! Rasengan!"

A chakra ball hurtled toward his chest. In the critical moment, Hozuki Gengetsu unleashed the chakra he had been "restraining," turning his body into a stream of water as he tried to escape.

But the chakra ball also disintegrated at the same time. The right hand that was originally holding up the chakra ball began to form a hand seal. The seal was very special and Hozuki Gengetsu couldn't understand it, but he was very familiar with the chakra it was activating.

"The Water Prison Technique!"

"Sage Art! Water Release! Water Prison Technique!"

The water that Hozuki Gengetsu had transformed into was infused with another stream of chakra and then mobilized to form a giant water sphere, but no one was imprisoned inside the water sphere.

"Haha~ You're still too naive! You actually used water magic to imprison me!"

At the edge of the water prison, a head suddenly popped out. It was Hozuki Gengetsu, with that same annoying smile on his face. His neck changed from water to body, and then to shoulder.

Just as the shoulder was condensing into a human form, the transformation suddenly stopped, and Chenma's voice rang out.

"Mr. Hozuki Gengetsu, you don't actually think this is just ordinary water jutsu, do you? Tell me, what does it feel like to have a body infused with natural energy?"

Hozuki Gengetsu couldn't answer, but his face quickly became gaunt. His skin, which was originally moist and unlike that of a middle-aged man, became dry, his cheeks quickly sunken, and his eyes gradually bulged out, like a dehydrated corpse.

Tatsuma slowly put the kunai in his left hand back into his ninja tool bag, and then began to form hand seals.

"Uchiha Flame Formation!"

"you!"

Hozuki Gengetsu let out a dry roar, his eyes filled with disbelief. He seemed to finally understand that the "Takasugi Shinsuke" in front of him was not the Kirigakure genius who had been oppressed and gone astray, as he had imagined.

He's not a ninja from Kirigakure at all!

But it was too late. Chenma had already plunged his left hand, with crimson flames burning on its five fingers, into the water prison.

At that moment, the entire water sphere turned fiery red.

"Ding~"
