I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 393 Fans like to imitate what their idols have done, as if doing so will bring them closer to their idols.

"Rustling sound~"

Tatsuma charged towards the dozen or so ninjas on the other side. They immediately went on alert and instinctively reached for their ninja tools, only to realize halfway through that they had already thrown them all.

"Be careful of his hand-to-hand combat skills! Protect your vital areas!"

One of the Sand Village Jonin shouted that Tatsuma's most famous nickname was given to him by the Sand Village ninjas, and no one understood Tatsuma's methods better than the Sand Village ninjas. In the past, it was possible to barely explain Tatsuma's short stature.

However, in recent years, Tatsuma's height has become similar to that of an adult, yet his despicable "Striking Jade Hand" continues to inflict indelible harm on male ninjas throughout the ninja world.

Therefore, no matter what, when you encounter Sakamoto Tatsuma, you must remember to protect your vital parts!

As Tatsuma charged forward, his eyes twitched. However, the Sand Village Jonin's words made Tatsuma decide his first target. He instantly appeared in front of him and struck at his chin with his right hand.

The chin is the most vulnerable part of a person. Even ninjas who have undergone constant training to withstand blows cannot completely overcome the weakness of their chin. They may not faint or even die from a simple blow.

However, dizziness is unavoidable. Moreover, there are too many vulnerable points around the chin, making it easy to launch varied attacks.

As the Sand Ninja took a step back to dodge, she raised her other knee to block Tatsuma's left hand, which instinctively tried to disrupt her balance with a push.

"Truly appalling!"

Seeing Tatsuma unleash both palms, one of which was a move intended to revive the name of the Jade-Strike Hand, the surrounding ninjas couldn't help but spit in disgust. Such methods were truly despicable!

Tatsuma also saw the smug look in the eyes of the Sand Ninja he was fighting. His face darkened, and his left hand, which was pushing against the Sand Ninja's knee, suddenly burst forth with superhuman strength, and his chakra also surged out instantly.

"Bagua! Empty palm!"

In terms of the Eight Trigrams Empty Palm alone, Tatsuma was even more skilled than Hyuga Sento, the head of the Hyuga clan. Therefore, the Sand Shinobi had no time to react before his knee was struck by a burst of chakra.

Some chakra even flowed into his body through his acupoints, and in the next instant, Tatsuma's monstrous strength erupted, and his palm strike hit the chakra he had injected into the Sand Ninja's body. That chakra instantly spread along the Sand Ninja's meridians.

At that moment, a steel wire flew over and hooked onto the Sand Ninja's belt, pulling her away before Tatsuma could take any further action.

"How is it?!"

The one who pulled the Sand Ninja away was his colleague. When his colleague asked him a question, the Sand Ninja tried to put his leg on the ground and then said with a grim expression, "The meridians in my right leg are blocked, and my chakra cannot flow and be activated."

Chakra activation of the body is a required course for ninjas. Whether it is the Body Flicker Technique or offense and defense in battle, the skill of chakra activation of the body is necessary.

The meridians are the fastest pathway for chakra flow. With the meridians in his right leg blocked, he cannot use the Body Flicker Technique to escape or dodge, nor can he activate his leg to make his kicks more powerful.

He is unable to use chakra to help his right leg fight off enemy attacks. Before his meridians are cleared and unblocked, his current state is no different from having a broken leg.

"It's alright, you rest first, we'll protect you."

His colleagues stood in front of him, saying things that reassured him somewhat.

"Protect?"

But the next instant, the white yaksha's call, as if from the underworld, rang in his ears.

"Flying Thunder God?!"

The thought flashed through the Sand Ninja's mind, and then he saw a bright light. Tatsuma held up the Rasengan and pressed it against the Sand Ninja's chest.

"Bang!"

The chaotic chakra flow exploded, and the Sand Ninja was sent flying backward. By the time the other Sand Ninja who had been "protecting" him reacted, he had already crashed heavily to the ground.

Another Jonin formed hand seals and unleashed several wind blades, but the wind blades only grazed the afterimages left by Tatsuma in the original spot, while he himself had already returned to his original position.

"Don't have any contact with him!"

Seeing this, Sangtu loudly reminded everyone that the information about Chenma varied among different hidden villages and forces, with some inaccuracies and others unique insights.

For example, Iwagakure, although it has never had a high-intensity, large-scale conflict with Tatsuma, has an elder in the village who is a treasure. The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, who has been active since the Warring States period, has provided a lot of information.

Information about Flying Thunder God Technique, Shadow Clone Technique, Super Strength, Konoha Water Release, and so on.

So Sangtu quickly realized why Tatsuma was able to successfully attack the Sand Village Jonin while surrounded by Sand Village ninja: because the two had made contact.

His gaze unconsciously swept over the Sand Village Jonin lying on the ground, and he saw several characters on the knee of the torn right pant leg.

"Lake Toya? Where is that?"

He involuntarily began searching his mind, but he had never heard of this place before. Although his gaze was also moving back towards Chenma, it was still somewhat affected.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, he heard a shout and turned his head back to where Chenma had been, but Chenma had disappeared. He only felt a tingling sensation in his left side.

It's like when you were a child, holding a kunai and constantly bringing the sharp point of the kunai close to your forehead; there's a strange, "sour" feeling.

The danger alarm bells in his brain went off instantly, and he twisted his body, trying to get his torso further away from the source of danger.

"Earth Release! Submerged Navigation!"

His hands were also forming hand seals. The moment the seals were completed, he fell towards the ground, narrowly avoiding the kunai thrust out by Chenma, and his whole body disappeared into the ground.

Watching the battle from afar, Shinnosuke remarked with a sigh, "Is this what a Jonin battle is like?"

It was too fast, and it felt like some of the reactions were beyond the brain's processing speed; it seemed to have become instinctive.

"Painful Heavenly Kick!"

Just when everyone thought their exchange was over, Tatsuma seemed unwilling to give up. He raised his leg and slashed down, unleashing his monstrous strength and applying immense power to the ground.

"Bang~ Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"

Like a muffled rumble during a landslide, it came from underground, and the ground began to shake. Even the wooden houses not far away began to shake, and some beams and pillars even fell and collapsed.

"Lord Kuwazu!"

The Iwa ninja suddenly gathered and protected Sangtu, who had emerged from the ground. Sangtu's lips were now deathly pale, blood was constantly gushing from his nostrils, and his eyes were bloodshot and red.

In that instant, Sangtu felt as if he had been slapped by a giant. His entire body was subjected to compression and shock. Even though he used Earth Release to eliminate some of the shock from the surrounding rocks and soil, he still suffered some injuries.

"No wonder the Tsuchikage said that Sakamoto Tatsuma would be the most terrifying enemy Iwagakure would face in the future. Even Sakumo Hatake and the Legendary Sannin never received such treatment. Thankfully, he didn't encounter him."

Looking at Tatsuma through blurry vision, Sangtu sighed inwardly. In his current state, if Tatsuma were to touch him and leave behind the Flying Thunder God Technique, what would happen?

If Tatsuma were to use Flying Thunder God Technique and unleash that strange yet powerful ninjutsu, Tatsuma probably wouldn't be able to react in time.

Chenma was also somewhat regretful. In just a short time, Sangtu had become the backbone of this hastily assembled team, and he had learned quite a bit about him.

If they could have dealt with him first, this newly formed team would have immediately become a rabble again, but... that didn't work.

In that brief moment of delay, these people had already formed different defensive formations, and were even simultaneously on guard against the direction of Tatsuma and the direction of the Sand Village Jonin whose fate was unknown.

If he wanted to break the deadlock, Tatsuma's chakra was stirring. He wanted to break through with brute force, using large-scale ninjutsu to break their formation and take away the surrounding buildings at the same time.

Just then, Shinnosuke suddenly threw a kunai at one of the squads. Tatsuma narrowed his eyes. Although Shinnosuke had a "previous record," Tatsuma felt that he was not acting impulsively at this moment.

Shinnosuke had several good opportunities just now, but he didn't launch an attack. Now the enemy has formed a formation. Unless Shinnosuke is stupid, there must be another reason.

Tatsuma's gaze also turned to that team: a rogue ninja from Takigakure, a special jonin, two kusa ninja, and one amegakure ninja. Among them, the amegakure ninja gave him a wink.

Instantly realizing what was happening, Tatsuma scanned his surroundings and sensed Yamanaka Kakuzu lying on the ground, his chakra still rapidly draining away.

"Ding~"

At this moment, Takigakure used the gauntlet to easily knock away the kunai that Shinnosuke threw, and then caught it with his backhand. Just as he was feeling smug, the "Rain Ninja" behind him reached out his evil hand towards him.

"The monkey steals the peaches!"

Tatsuma's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected that Yamanaka Satoru was also an expert in this field. His reaction was also extremely quick. As Yamanaka Satoru stretched out his sinful hand, he also threw out his kunai, attracting Takigakure's attention.

"Burp~"

The Takigakure ninja, who was on full alert against Tatsuma, was suddenly attacked. He let out a strange cry and swung his kunai at the Amegakure ninja's neck.

Rain Ninja's eyes suddenly went blank, and then the kunai slit his throat, but at the same time, Tatsuma caught the flying kunai.

"Flying Thunder God Technique, Second Stage!"

"Immortal magic! Otama Rasengan!"

"boom!!!"

A giant Rasengan, large enough to attack several people at once, was launched by Tatsuma. A flash of light appeared in the darkness. Yamanaka Satoru, who had gotten up, leaned on the railing and vaguely saw Tatsuma-senpai giving him a thumbs up in the light.

Shinnosuke's gaze fell on Gendo beside him, because in his team, Gendo's hands were the only ones that were "clean." Shouldn't this kid offer his pledge of allegiance?

It's impossible for those two to have their hands stained while Yuan Dao remains untainted by the mud.

Besides, we are all fans of Tatsuma-senpai, so it's only natural to emulate some of our idols, right?

Just as Shinnosuke was pondering, Yamanaka Satoru, who had just connected with the team using the Mind-Reading Technique and wanted to share his joy, heard Shinnosuke's little scheme. Similarly, Haramichi also heard it.

"Gurgle~"

Yuan Dao swallowed hard and said tremblingly, "Um, I'll try my best."
