I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 332 Things I thought I would remember for a lifetime in my childhood can now only be found in déjà vu.

Tsunade didn't rush off to Shikkotsu Forest. She had matured a lot in recent years and started to act like a composed adult.

With Chenma's assistance, she developed an initial plan. She planned to use the last month or so to organize her thoughts and then put them into practice during the break after the training ended.

At the same time, Tatsuma also gave some suggestions on the training schedule for the next session of the following year, to ensure that Tsunade had enough time to think about and put her ideas into practice.

After finalizing the plan, it was already late at night. Tsunade went back to rest, while Tatsuma continued to organize his notes on Wood Release, recording any points he still didn't understand.

A bad pen is worse than a good memory. Memories are covered by more and more new memories. Things that you thought you would remember for a lifetime when you were a child can only be found in déjà vu in the blink of an eye.

After organizing his notes on Wood Release, Tatsuma also organized his improved Minor Ailment Extraction Technique, replacing some of the jargon in the original manuscript with technical terms, and then copied it down.

He prepared to hand it over to Tsunade at dawn so that she could arrange for Nonou to optimize it. By the time everything was done, it was already midnight.

As dawn broke, Tatsuma's short vacation came to an end, so he returned to his bedroom, which he had entered for the first time in two days since returning, set an alarm, and began to sleep.

"Ding~"

As soon as the alarm clock started to swing, Chenma's fingers were already wedged on either side of the pendulum, and his remaining fingers deftly pressed the button to turn off the alarm.

While washing up, Chenma noticed that his stubble had reappeared, probably from staying up too late these past few days. He skillfully shaved and lathered up his face, cleaning it without causing any damage, and then sprayed on some refreshing aftershave.

The slight fatigue from lack of sleep has vanished, and apart from the sloppiness that comes with naturally curly hair, Chenma now looks like a refined young man.

To Tatsuma's surprise, Nono didn't come from the orphanage today, but woke up with Kushina. Of course, this was also because he didn't use his sensory abilities all the time.

Although he is not an unvigilant person, it would be rather pathetic if he had to live in constant fear even at home.

However, the surprise was only momentary. Although she didn't understand when Kushina and Nono became so close that they could be best friends, the friendship between girls is always hard to understand.

After greeting her, Tatsuma delivered the scroll to Tsunade's room and woke her up. When Tsunade saw it was Tatsuma, he routinely took two punches from her.

Everyone else bullies the weak and fears the strong, but his own teacher is the only one who bullies the strong and fears the weak, and Chenma has gotten used to it.

After breakfast, Tsunade and Nono went to work, while Kushina went to supervise the work as usual. However, since Shizune had not yet recovered from the training she received from Tatsuma and was even somewhat afraid and resistant to training, Kushina also took Shizune with her.

Tatsuma had nothing to do for the time being, so he went to training with Nawaki.

"Phew~"

As soon as he arrived at the training ground, a flying kick came straight at Tatsuma. Tatsuma didn't even bother to look at who it was, and with a quick knee-twisting step, he directly knocked the person back.

"Hiss~"

Sento clutched his stomach and struggled to his feet. Tatsuma Oki gave him a thumbs-up, revealing a mouthful of white Konoha teeth, and said, "It has to be you, Tatsuma! If it were Nawaki-nii, I probably would have successfully ambushed him."

Just then, Nawaki, who had come to his senses, said with dissatisfaction, "Luckily, you chose Tatsuma. If you had ambushed me, you would already be seriously injured!"

"Haha~ You're all so passionate! This is what youth should be like!"

In the distance, two figures, one tall and one short, hopped over. They had the same hairstyle, the same green bodysuit, and the same thick eyebrows. No one would believe they weren't related by blood.

"Brother Dai, Kai."

Nawaki greeted him, and Tatsuma also stepped forward to say hello. He and Might Guy had become a little estranged during this time, but Guy's personality wouldn't hold it against him, and they quickly became familiar again after a few words.

Tatsuma also took the opportunity to catch up with Sento about his recent situation. After hearing that Hiruzen Sarutobi had visited the Hyuga clan's territory and that the conversation seemed to have been unpleasant, Tatsuma smiled.

It's good if things don't go well. It means that opinions differ during the conversation, and differing opinions aren't necessarily a bad thing. After all, opinions need to be expressed, and then it's just a matter of waiting for one side to give in.

The conversation between Tatsuma and Hiruzen Sarutobi was actually a blow to their spirit, a blow to the spirit of the Hyuga clan. Tatsuma could ignore the various ranks within the Hyuga clan, but the main branch of the Hyuga clan could not have special privileges in the eyes of the outside world.

Within the Hyuga clan, it's acceptable to prevent the main branch from taking risks, but outside, unless the Hyuga main branch is of higher status than other ninja clans or ninjas, even members of the Hyuga main branch must obediently come out to carry out missions.

The Hyuga main clan must do what other ninja clans and ninjas do, unless the Hyuga main clan can rise above the entire village.

This idea has already been instilled in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind by Tatsuma, and after this period of fermentation, it should indeed have taken effect. Next, it's up to Hyuga to think about it himself.

As long as Hyuga doesn't want to be at odds with the entire village, he has to compromise. As long as the village doesn't ask them for a successor to the clan head, Hyuga won't turn against them. Hyuga Sento's entry into the Anbu is just around the corner.

After a brief chat, the group soon had to start training again. Since Tatsuma had nothing else to do, he joined in. The intensity of Might Guy and the others' training wasn't too high for Tatsuma at the moment.

With repetitive basic training, it's difficult to see the difference unless you use heavy weights or high volumes.

After training for a while, Tatsuma suddenly looked to the side, and two shuriken shot out from his hands. The nimble shuriken, aided by his superhuman strength, directly severed two thick branches.

"Bang bang~"

Two tiny figures dressed in green leaf camouflage fell to the ground. One of them lay flat on the ground, while the other, being more agile, rolled on the ground to dissipate the impact and stood up.

Chenma gave the others a look, broke away from the group, and instantly appeared in front of the two little ones, saying, "What are you two doing here?"

"Kakashi is coming."

With tears streaming down his face and rubbing his nose, Obito pointed at Kakashi. Kakashi blushed, turned his head, and said, "My father sent me."

"What did Lord Sakumo send you here to do?"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's gaze fell on the smallest green-skinned monster in the distance, and he said, "My father said that Might Guy will become a great person, and he wants me to learn from him."

"If you're going to study, then study. Why are you spying on me like Jiraiya-sensei? No wonder."

As Chenma spoke, he suddenly thought of Kakashi in the original work, who was a big fan of Jiraiya. It turned out that he had the same hobby at such a young age.

"Hmph! Who was spying?! I just... just wanted to see what was so great about him."

Kakashi weakly defended himself, then looked at Obito and said, "Obito is clearly the pervert. He was able to follow me even though I left home so early."

"I...I...I'm afraid you'll go find Nohara Rin. I don't want to go with you! You arrogant Kakashi."

Obito vehemently objected, but Kakashi glanced at him and said, "But it's a fact that you were following me!"

"It's also true that you were spying."

Chenma ruffled their hair, then delivered a fatal blow.

Then Tatsuma added, "If you want to know what kind of person someone is, then do the same things as them. How about we train together?"

Kakashi nodded. Obito glanced at the intensity of the training and, somewhat intimidated, said, "Tatsuma-senpai, I..."

Let's go!

Tatsuma suddenly appeared behind Obito, kicked him in the butt, and at the same time pulled out a thin steel wire, looping it around Obito's waist with the other end around Kakashi's waist, saying:

"Kakashi, you keep an eye on him."

"Yes, Brother Chenma."

Kakashi did not refuse and immediately started running. Obito, who was staggering, was pulled by the steel wire and almost fell to the ground. He kept running forward like a person about to fall, and his hands were waving like when swimming.

"It's so good to be young."

Tatsuma sighed, glanced at the sky, and knew it was about time for him to leave. He ran to Sento and the others and told them to take good care of Kakashi and Obito.

Sento naturally wouldn't refuse, after all, Obito was Tenka's cousin, and Kakashi was the son of the respected Sakumo Hatake. Nawaki and Dai also nodded in agreement.

After handing the two little ones over to a few abnormal green-skinned monsters, Chenma left.

Meanwhile, in a secret building, thirty ninjas who were about to go to the Land of Water to carry out an undercover mission were all ready. They had undergone a simulated interrogation yesterday, and all of them performed very well.

Today, under Tatsuma's supervision, they conducted another simulated interrogation, and they were even more at ease than yesterday. They even simulated some of the subtle characteristics of the ninjas from the Land of Water.

For example, most of the ninjas who were going to impersonate the sharp-toothed ninjas of the Mist Village would imitate some of the pronunciation habits of those with teeth, and the remaining few who did not need to impersonate sharp-toothed ninjas had all dyed their hair in a way that looked very characteristic of the Land of Water.

After the simulation, everyone changed into Mist Ninja equipment, which was also aged to make them look like they had worn it more than once.

They even cleverly concealed some obvious recent repair marks, since "Takasugi Shinsuke's" betrayal wouldn't have been long ago, and his subordinates wouldn't have been in such dire straits before his betrayal.

As expected, professionals are professionals. Chenma felt a little ashamed, as he had changed his gear before setting off.

On the recommendation of these temporary subordinates, Tatsuma found a rather reliable hairstylist, Tony, and wanted to straighten his hair to disguise it, but Tony disappointed him once again.

His hair was too fine and easily broke when straightened with chemicals, so they could only use a splint to temporarily straighten it, wasting several hours. Finally, at nightfall, everyone was ready to set off.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Tatsuma created several shadow clones and led the thirty people to the Land of Whirlpools in several batches. Because it was nighttime, they did not attract anyone's attention.

"The Art of Papercraft! Paper Boat!"

Tatsuma threw out a scroll, which exploded, revealing countless sheets of paper that transformed into several small boats. After the thirty people had adjusted to the dizziness brought on by the Flying Thunder God Technique, they boarded the boats one by one.

As they approached the Land of Water, two Nara clan ninjas used a secret technique to cast shadows and conceal their figures. This was extremely effective at night, since the Land of Water's surveillance methods for overseas locations consisted only of outdated patrols and visual monitoring.

Once they were close enough, Tatsuma used Flying Thunder God Technique again to bring everyone to the Land of Water. Having had the experience before, everyone recovered very quickly this time.

However, when Tatsuma led everyone to the camp where Usamaru and the others were, the thing Tatsuma didn't want to see still happened.
