I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 428 In heavy weight training, the assistant often gets more tired than the trainee.

"Partial Multiplication Technique!"

"Super Pusher!"

In the forest, Akimichi Torifu waved his two hands, which resembled enormous mountain gates. Wherever his palms moved, enemies were inevitably sent flying. It wasn't that all the enemies crashed into his palms, but rather...

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Two flashes of gold and silver appeared continuously in the forest, and Akimichi Takefusa's position kept changing, but he didn't move his feet or even open his eyes. He just kept pushing his palms, and then pushing his palms again.

In the distance, on a tree, a pair of Uchiha and Hyuga, arms around each other's shoulders, remarked to Tenka, "I thought the most suitable teammates for the Akimichi clan would be Nara and Yamanaka, but I never expected it to be the Flying Thunder God Ninja."

"Suddenly I realized that my Baguazhang can actually be used in this way, but it's a pity that I can't command the new squad leader and the new platoon leader."

Sento remarked with a sigh that he guessed Akimichi Torifu must be having a great time right now, not needing to determine the enemy's location, know any information about the enemy, or even look for the enemy's weaknesses.

All you need to do is push your palm, and leave the rest to Tatsuma and Tenka. The two of them will find the most suitable distance and angle to allow Akimichi Torifu to unleash its full power.

With his Sharingan wide open, Uchiha Tenka gave Hyuga Sento a real demonstration of what Byakugan looks like, saying in a sarcastic tone, "With your meager strength and chakra, are you planning to give the enemy a massage?"

If you ask me, Tatsuma and Tenfu should cooperate with me; my Fire Release techniques and their Flying Thunder God Technique are a perfect match.

"cut!"

Although he habitually voiced his dissatisfaction, Sento did not refute it. As a taijutsu ninja who mastered both the Hyuga Gentle Fist and the Konoha Hard Fist, he knew the power of Akimichi Torifu.

It's just that such a powerful ninja has remained unknown for decades. It's not that he hadn't heard of Akimichi Torifu, but because Akimichi Torifu never showed up, he even had the feeling that Akimichi Torifu was a figure who had disappeared into the long river of history.

Watching the one-sided battle over there, after a while, Tianfeng changed the subject and said, "The quality of the rogue ninjas at the Gold Exchange has been not very good lately. I've been fishing for them for a few days, and there are only this many people. Sigh."

"Didn't they say Iwagakure invested another 50 million ryo? 30 million went to Tatsuma, and 20 million to Minato. They're practically the highest-bounty duo in the ninja world now, right? And they only attracted this few rogue ninja."

"Don't you even think about why Iwagakure increased the bounty? The two of them annihilated over a thousand Iwagakure ninja and severely injured two Tailed Beast Jinchuriki. Only these money-grubbing lunatics would dare to come and court death."

Entrapment has always been a long-term task for their team, but now the fish have become smarter and not many dare to take the bait. If it weren't for giving Lord Qufeng a stage to make a comeback, they wouldn't have come out to bait the area.

"Speaking of which, haven't we found those two Jinchūriki yet?"

Tenka leaned closer to Sento and whispered, "Could it be that Tatsuma and Minato have already killed those two guys and then lied to Iwagakure that they're still alive? Minato might not be capable of doing that, but given Tatsuma's despicable nature..."

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Both Iwagakure and Konoha have tracked them down. They were taken away by a small ninja organization in the Land of Rain."

"Iwagakure is currently negotiating with Hanzo, requesting entry into the Land of Rain to search for a Jinchūriki."

Qian Dou was speechless. Although Chen Ma didn't seem like a good person, directly accusing him was a bit much. Tian Feng scratched his head and said, "Really? Could it be that the traces were forged by the two of them?"

"Please, just betray us. You're really suited to be a rogue ninja. Luckily, the rogue ninjas in Kinsho aren't acting impulsively anymore. Go over there and spread the word about Tatsuma's crimes; maybe you can win some over."

Upon hearing this, Tianfeng simply smiled. How could their Uchiha clan possibly have a second rogue ninja? One was enough.

Seeing that the topic had ended again, Tianfeng changed the subject and said, "Actually, I also discovered Lord Sakumo's conspiracy."

Qian Dou: It's hard now, my fists are hard now.

He felt that Tianfeng was no longer just a suitable rogue ninja, but had already become one. He wondered if Tianfeng was even speaking human language.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Tianfeng didn't care and continued, "Look, Lord Sakumo has retired and wanted Tatsuma and the others to take over, but he refused. So Lord Sakumo and the village have to choose candidates from the three squad leaders."

Then you saw it too, all three squad leaders were killed by Lord Sakumo, and Tatsuma had no choice but to take over as a squad leader. And you've discovered, he's now the only ANBU squad leader.

Hearing this, Qian Dou frowned slightly and looked at Tian Feng, who had an all-knowing confidence in his face, and said, "So, you see, the candidate, and the only candidate, has once again fallen to Chen Ma?"

"What you're saying is a bit of a fallacy."

"What kind of twisted logic is that! Lord Sakumo definitely intends to do just that, otherwise why haven't the other two squads chosen their squad leaders yet? Let me tell you, there's a conspiracy behind this too."

Tianfeng's certainty even convinced Qiandou somewhat, and a hint of inquiry appeared in his white eyes. Seeing this, Tianfeng became even more excited, counting on his fingers as he said:

"Look, if Tatsuma becomes the head of the Anbu, then the vacancy for squad leader will become three again, right? We also have to count the original fourth squad, so we'll need four new squad leaders."

"Once Tatsuma gets promoted in our squad, guess who will take over?"

"It's Minato, without a doubt."

"Yes, but have you ever seen an ANBU chief only able to control one squad? So the remaining two or three squads will also be filled by Tatsuma's confidants!"

"Qiandou, our chance to make a name for ourselves has arrived!"

"Hiss~"

Sento gasped, "You mean, if Tatsuma becomes a department head, we can both benefit and become squad leaders?"

"Yes, Tatsuma will be the captain, Minato and the two of us will be squad leaders, and Shikaku will be a candidate. We'll see if we rebuild the fourth squad. If we do, he can also be a squad leader."

"Look, Lord Sakumo and the village have been laying the groundwork for so long, just to put Tatsuma in the position of department head, and incidentally, to give the Anbu a unified voice, right?"

Tianfeng shook his head, then tapped his temple and said, "This is the strongest eye technique; my Sharingan has already seen the future!"

"Then why do you call it a conspiracy?"

"Heh~ That guy Tatsuma, have you ever seen him in a hurry to get promoted? If the village doesn't work hard, he can remain an ordinary ANBU until retirement. Just you wait and see, when the Third Hokage has to put the Hokage position directly in his hands, he will refuse."

Only by resorting to some underhanded tactics, forcing that guy to take over, can we get rid of him.

"That makes sense. By the way, what if he really became Hokage? Wouldn't we be..."

The two squatted in the tree, whispering to each other, not at all focused on carrying out their mission. They were so tense about facing a group of vicious rogue ninjas that they had even started planning who would take charge of the Anbu and who would reclaim Root.

Meanwhile, the battle on Akimichi Torifu's side had also ceased. The thirty-odd rogue ninjas who had been wreaking havoc in the area had become extremely calm under Akimichi Torifu's repeated palm strikes, and even the sound of their breathing had ceased to exist.

"Lord Qufeng, it's over."

After Tatsuma finished speaking, Akimichi Torifu nodded, let out a long breath, and his two giant hands slowly shrank, his eyes opened, and he said, "This fighting style is still the simplest."

"Um."

Looking at the Flying Thunder God kunai scattered all over the ground, Tatsuma nodded. Akimichi Torifu was relieved, but he and Minato had almost reached their mental limits. This was much more tiring than dealing with these enemies on their own.

However, today they are just there to set up Akimichi Torifu. As we all know, in heavy weight training, the person assisting is often more tired than the person training.

"There are at least seven Jonin and Special Jonin. As for the rest, we need to carefully check their identities. However, this answer is sufficient for now."

Tatsuma also shared his observations, specifically regarding ninja ranks. Aside from special bounties, rogue ninjas are generally ranked according to their ninja rank.

As for those who defected from the genin level and rose to the jonin level, they were extremely rare. After all, rogue ninjas were more dangerous than ordinary ninjas, and even if they did, there would be special bounty missions for them.

"Are there seven? I don't really feel anything."

Akimichi Torifu scratched his head. He couldn't sense the strength of the enemy at all, since the enemy's attacks or resistance had never touched him.

However, killing seven Jonin and special Jonin in one go is an achievement enough. Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu could not have produced such a result. Of course, with the assistance of Tatsuma and Minato, Akimichi Torifu was able to do it so easily.

"Let me tidy up."

Minato unloaded the large scroll he was carrying on his back. If it was him and Tatsuma who completed this mission, then all they needed to do was bring their heads back to the analysis team.

However, this time, it must be proven that Akimichi Torifu was behind it, so a corpse is also needed. Therefore, a sealing scroll with a larger capacity will be required.

"Let us help too."

Tenka and Sento, who had been slacking off the whole time, were now somewhat embarrassed to come down and help. Tatsuma, however, was not about to let them continue resting. He glared at them and adopted a supervisory demeanor.

"Haha~ They're all good kids."

Akimichi Torifu laughed heartily, then patted his stomach and said, "It's been a long time since I've fought. After moving around like this, I'm actually a little hungry. I'll treat you to barbecue when we get back to the village!"

But after he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and gave Tatsuma a strange look. Tatsuma immediately understood and "reminded" him: "Lord Torifu, according to my research and that of Lord Orochimaru, one should not eat a lot immediately after strenuous exercise."

So you'd better eat in moderation later.

Seeing that Tatsuma was so understanding, Akimichi Torifu nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, yes, yes! I can't eat too much, but you guys are still growing, so eat as much as you want."

Akimichi Torifu felt that if he didn't add the second half of the sentence, the young people might misunderstand that he didn't want to treat them. But in fact, he didn't need to worry about this problem at all. After all, among these four people, apart from Minato who had a thinner noodle skin, the others were all lasagna-loving.

Before long, the body had been cleared away. Minato, carrying a large scroll, looked quite like Jiraiya. Tatsuma also felt that a disciple of Mount Myōboku without carrying a large scroll always seemed to be missing something.

"Let's go back."

After Tatsuma finished speaking, seeing that everyone nodded, he formed a hand seal and created a shadow clone, which, together with Minato, brought the three of them back to Konoha.

However, as soon as he landed, a white light flashed. Akimichi Torifu waved his hand, and the massive chakra palm pressure directly negated the daytime-like slash. He said helplessly, "Sakumo, how many times have I told you? You must not be nervous when you come to the guard squad."

"Haha~ Sorry, I was chatting with Kosuke-senpai and forgot that you guys might be back at any time after your mission."

Tatsuma also looked over at the sound and saw Hatake Sakumo scratching his head embarrassedly. Beside him was a middle-aged ninja of similar age to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Akimichi Torifu.

Seeing Tatsuma looking over, the middle-aged ninja straightened his slightly hunched back and gave Tatsuma a smile.
