I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 375 Always eat breakfast upon waking to avoid hypoglycemia.

Even Tatsuma didn't expect that the one who raised his genjutsu talent to the Jonin level was not Tenka, the Uchiha, but the Mizukage.

It's also Tianfeng's fault. With such good resources, why didn't he use genjutsu and instead spent all his time studying fire jutsu? If he had put more effort into genjutsu, Chenma wouldn't have been delayed until now.

Moreover, Tatsuma never expected that the Mizukage's trump card would be a technique that combined illusion. It was precisely because of this that, after winning the bet with Genmi, Tatsuma finally made up for the last bit of his missing illusion talent.

"Illusion: 6132/10001 [Additional Amplification (To be Unlocked)]"

Additional amplification direction options are available:

【Mystic Butterfly】: When activated, it further amplifies the strength of illusions, and has an independent additional amplification for multiple illusions. The amplification gradually increases as the talent is realized. It also comes with a mental overload attack, which has a certain probability of causing the target to lose the ability to distinguish between real and fake senses.

【Insight】: When activated, it further increases illusion resistance and provides an amplification effect on maintaining self-awareness when under the influence of illusions. This amplification gradually increases as the talent progresses. It also has an illusion reflection effect, with a certain probability of reflecting illusion attacks.

Seeing these two options, Chenma already had the answer in his mind. [Bewitching Butterfly] is very strong, providing an amplification to all types of illusions, and the amplification to multiple illusions is even more substantial, making it the best talent for illusionists.

However, Tatsuma had long recognized his talent for genjutsu. His genjutsu talent took several years longer to reach Jonin level than other talents, not because he couldn't find good targets, but because...

Perhaps he wasn't born to play illusions.

This is not just about innate talent, but also about personality. Illusion is the most uncontrollable skill in Tatsuma's opinion because it is difficult to organize into a theoretical system. It is a skill that requires "romance".

Therefore, it takes Tatsuma much longer to understand a genjutsu than to understand a ninjutsu of the same level, and there are many genjutsu that he still cannot fully understand.

His few skillful illusions were not abstract or required a "romantic" quality; they were all singular, concrete, and highly targeted.

For example, the Dark Travel Technique that blocks visual senses, the Dream Pillow Technique that suppresses the activity of the cerebral cortex, and the Nirvana Abode Technique—Tatsuma can understand, learn, and perform these ninjutsu.

However, Tatsuma cannot understand illusions such as "Magic Tree Binding Kill" and "Magic Naraku Sighting Technique," which require constructing a scene in the enemy's mind and making them believe it. Although he can use them, the effect is extremely poor.

Moreover, "learning" these skills is the kind of thing that Tatsuma hates most—knowing how but not why, which is imitation.

For various reasons, Tatsuma hated illusion magic. He hated not only when his enemies used illusion magic, but also when he learned it. Therefore, [Mysterious Butterfly] was good; it deserved to meet someone better than him, Sakamoto Tatsuma.

【Insight】is very suitable for Tatsuma. Because of his lack of skill in illusion magic, no matter how hard Tatsuma practices to resist illusion magic, he will inevitably fall for it when he encounters someone who is truly skilled in illusion magic.

Just like when facing Genmi, Tatsuma had made preparations in advance, and had also pre-set many scenarios and simulated various coping strategies, but when he actually faced it, he still fell for it.

Therefore, increasing his resistance to illusions is of paramount importance to him, not to mention that this talent actually comes with an "illusion" ability.

The "Mirror Reflection" of the "Insight" skill is actually similar to the effect of the illusion magic "Mirror World Reversal". However, the prerequisite for using "Mirror World Reversal" is that you must first understand the opponent's illusion.

Then, by using a higher level of illusion magic skill than the opponent, and a deeper understanding of that spell, one can perform a reverse casting, thus "counterattacking" the illusion.

Although "Mirror Reflection" is not an active skill and is essentially an "uncontrollable" factor, even if it is not triggered, it is not a loss for Tatsuma; he just doesn't gain anything.

If it is triggered, then Chenma will have made a huge profit, directly taking advantage of the opponent's illusion attack for free. Moreover, given the opponent's skill in illusion, if he returns an illusion of equal skill, it would be equivalent to defeating himself if the opponent wanted to break free.

If someone can easily overcome themselves, then there's nothing to complain about about losing to someone like that, since it's almost at the level of a certain bald guy.

Without much hesitation, Chenma made his choice: [Insight] was fixed, filling the only gap in the eight talents.

Unlike the four physical talents of [Wisdom] or Strength, Speed, Body, and Spirit, the extra boost from [Illusion] did not bring Tatsuma any direct feeling. Just like the extra boosts from [Ninjutsu] and [Seal], it required him to experience it gradually.

Late at night, Chenma was too lazy to go out and find someone to cast an illusion on him to experience its effects, plus...

A feeling of drowsiness kept creeping into Tatsuma's heart. He felt the light in the study had become somewhat dazzling, making him want to close his eyes. His hands, resting on the desk, also felt extremely heavy.

Later that day, Tsunade, having finished her day's activities, headed home. As she passed Tatsuma's house, she noticed the lights were still on in the yard.

"They didn't even say a word when they came back. They really don't respect me as their teacher anymore."

Tsunade muttered something, entered Tatsuma's yard, and went straight into his house. Raising her voice, she said, "I'm here!"

As she spoke, she walked into the kitchen, skillfully opened the refrigerator, took out an ice cream, and said as she unwrapped it, "I took your ice cream, openly and honestly, so don't accuse me of stealing your ice cream again."

While eating ice cream, Tsunade knew without thinking that Tatsuma was definitely not in the bedroom, since the study light was on, so Tatsuma must be in the study.

Thinking of asking Tatsuma how his mission was going and if he had time to come back and cover a couple more classes for her, Tsunade walked to the study door and pushed it open.

Seeing Tatsuma's current ghastly appearance, Tsunade was also startled. Tatsuma looked like he had been dried out for several days.

"That kid"

However, Tsunade quickly noticed that Tatsuma was pressing down on the open blank scroll with both hands, and that he was so sleepy that he fell asleep sitting up. She shook her head and unconsciously softened her movements.

Whenever Tsunade saw Tatsuma so exhausted that he didn't even have the energy to be alert, she always felt a sense of guilt, as if Tatsuma was taking the burden of her, his teacher, being exhausted.

After all, Tatsuma had almost completed the tasks she was responsible for, such as the expenses of the Senju clan's territory and the interactions of the Senju clan members. Normally, a teacher should protect and protect their disciple.

However, in their master-disciple relationship, it seems that Chenma, the disciple, is always protecting and supporting her, allowing her to do what she wants without being burdened by other things.

Tsunade raised her hand and gently rubbed Tatsuma's hair, which had become curly again due to the steam from the hot water. Seeing that Tatsuma still hadn't woken up, Tsunade sighed.

After finishing the rest of the ice cream in a few bites, Tsunade reached out and lifted Tatsuma up, carrying him to the bedroom. She quickly and clumsily made up the bedding that Tatsuma had put away, tucked him into the blankets, and then clapped her hands.

"You won't be teaching this time, so get some rest."

Because she had "taken care" of Tatsuma, Tsunade's initial guilt dissipated, and she went home to sleep without a care in the world.

When Chenma woke up the next day, his mind was a little sluggish, and he seemed to still hear an annoying high-frequency noise ringing in his ears. He sat up in bed and thought about what had happened during the time he had "blacked out".

This weakened state made his usually sharp mind seem locked up. It took him a long time to gradually piece together what had happened last night and to guess why he had teleported from the study to the bedroom.

However, Tatsuma soon faced another difficult problem that required him to have both options.

On the one hand, he was extremely hungry. The excessive energy consumption made every cell in his body seem to be wailing. What he heard might not be a hallucination, but the cry of his body's hunger.

On the other hand, the side effects of taking several soldier pills in a row started to appear. He now had a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet. Without a doubt, Tatsuma knew that he was going to have diarrhea again.

This would take a long time and definitely delay his energy replenishment, but the pain in his stomach was unbearable, even though he knew that going to the toilet wouldn't relieve the pain anytime soon.

However, when squatting on the toilet, the sense of security can create an illusion, making one less concerned about the pain.

The brain, which was running in a single-core, single-threaded manner due to a lack of energy, pondered for a long time before Chenma decided to go squat in the toilet first.

Hunger is bearable, but the insecurity caused by stomach pain is unbearable.

"Unfortunately, my mind isn't strong enough to accept eating while having diarrhea."

An hour later, Chenma leaned against the wall, his face pale, his lips trembling, beads of sweat running down his cheeks, and his legs seemed unable to walk normally. He could only use his body to move his legs, dragging forward, and even his waist was hunched over.

Even after fighting the Mizukage, Tatsuma wasn't this disheveled. It's a pity that Yoruichi wasn't there, otherwise she would have known that the severely injured Sakamoto Tatsuma wasn't the weakest Sakamoto Tatsuma; the weakest Sakamoto Tatsuma was the one suffering from constipation and low blood sugar.

Now, even a mere ninja academy student like Tatsuma could potentially harm him, making this the perfect opportunity for Pakura to exact her revenge.

"Knock knock knock~"

"Tatsuma, are you there?"

Outside, the sounds of heavenly music and the aroma of food wafted through the air. Chenma wanted to hurry to open the door, but his body wouldn't allow it. He could only open his mouth and say in an incredibly hoarse voice, "Please come in."

"Click~"

The door was pushed open, and when Nono, who was carrying breakfast, saw Tatsuma, whose condition was even worse than those of the patients who had been given critical condition notices, her face showed worry and panic.

"Are you alright? Should we go to the hospital?!"

Nonou hurriedly placed the lunchbox directly on the shoe cabinet in the entryway, then quickly walked to Tatsuma's side and helped him up. Tatsuma's eyes were fixed on the lunchbox on the shoe cabinet.

Why, why didn't you bring it all together!

The greatest distance in the world is when a person with low blood sugar is in the living room, while the life-saving sugar is in the entryway.
