I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 436: If you outlive everyone else, you'll be an artist.

The water whips struck Chenma, binding his wrists, ankles, elbows, and knees. Because there were so many water whips, Chenma looked like a mummy wrapped in water bandages.

"well done!"

Pipa Juzo grimaced, clearly in excruciating pain, but still managed a sigh of praise as the executioner's blade fell from Tatsuma's hand due to the retraction of the Water Whip.

Kizuki, slightly hunched over, ran up to Tatsuma. He was about to punch him, but then he noticed the fallen Executioner's Blade. He picked it up, looked at the nick in the blade, and said viciously:

"Today, I will use your blood to repair this guillotine!"

After saying that, he swung his Executioner's Blade. As he raised the blade, Juzo Biwa gasped. He was still injured, but he quickly recovered and swung the blade.

Genmi frowned. From the moment Tatsuma was bound, he wanted to rush over, but he was blocked by a crescent-shaped staff. Helpless, he became entangled with Yagura again, glancing at Takasugi Shinsuke's companions out of the corner of his eye.

But... Katsura Kotaro was happily racing a shuttle run with someone, while the other two were also playing around with each other. Genmi suddenly realized something: they completely trusted "Takasugi Shinsuke".

"Sizzle~"

Just then, the water whip binding Chenma suddenly boiled, steam billowing out and enveloping Chenma entirely in steam.

Ignoring him, Juzo Biwa continued to swing his Executioner's Blade, but just then, a crimson arm emerged from the steam.

"Clang~"

The Executioner's Blade and the magma arm clashed for only a moment before the blade melted and fell to the ground. Astounded, Juzo Biwa withdrew his strength and was about to retreat.

But from within the steam, another hand emerged and reached for his face.

"Sizzle~~~"

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The magma hand grabbed Biwa Juzo's chin, and Biwa Juzo's face instantly contorted in pain. He desperately tried to back away, trying to break free of the arm, and with all his might, he finally fell backward.

But five hideous burn scars had already been branded on his chin and upper lip. By now, the steam had mostly dissipated, and the Mist Ninjas who had used the Water Whip to bind Tatsuma were also dumbfounded as they stared at their suddenly limp thing.

As the steam dissipated, Tatsuma, whose body had turned into magma, still stood upright, some of his clothes charred black by the magma, making him look extremely eerie.

"Two bloodline limits?!"

Genmi and Yagura, who noticed this scene out of the corner of their eyes, were both shocked. Bloodline Limit Ninjas were not uncommon in the Land of Water. As the only island nation among the Five Great Nations, the probability of mutations among the people here seemed to be naturally higher.

However, there are almost no ninjas who can master two bloodline limits at the same time. There may be some, but none of them have ever truly become famous.

And now, the Takasugi Shinsuke in front of me actually has a bloodline limit that can transform into magma, in addition to the one that uses steam.

Considering the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) implanted in Genmai by Takasugi Shinsuke, and the Kamui with the Byakugan transplanted from Konoha, perhaps Takasugi Shinsuke's mastery of bloodline limit transplantation technology far exceeds their imagination.

At this moment, the other members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist also watched their opponents warily, especially Tenka and Minato, who were facing the most intense scrutiny.

Tianfeng is alright; if pushed too far, he'll activate his Sharingan in a heartbeat. Then, with Chenma's persuasive words, others will believe that he transplanted it from the Uchiha clan.

Minato felt somewhat helpless. Of the four people in the group, he was the only one without a bloodline limit, and he suddenly felt that he was a bit inferior.

Why not try developing it yourself? I heard that the Iwagakure Bloodline Limit was created out of thin air by the Second Tsuchikage, Mu. Minato might not have that much talent, but he could try creating his own Bloodline Limit, which is easier.

Otherwise, when faced with similar role-playing missions in the future, he won't be able to use Flying Thunder God Technique and Rasengan; he's still lacking some tricks up his sleeve.

When I have time, I'll seek advice from Chenma!

Just as the entire arena was momentarily frozen because of Tatsuma, the lava on Tatsuma's body extinguished, revealing his original skin color. However, his hair, which he had finally managed to straighten, became slightly curly again after being scalded.

Fortunately, no one paid attention to his hairstyle at the time, and even if they did see it, they wouldn't make the connection, after all, Sakamoto Tatsuma doesn't have a bloodline limit!

Tatsuma looked at the growing number of Mist Ninja and said, "Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? Unleash them all at once; this is your final act."

Not all three thousand Mist Ninjas had arrived, but several hundred Mist Ninjas had gathered before them. Under the direction of one of the Mist Ninjas, hundreds of people began to form hand seals.

"Water Release: Multi-Shot Water Barrage!"

Water spheres hurtled towards Chenma like cannonballs, almost completely blocking all of his escape routes. Even though Chenma's magma could burn away the water, the impact was still too great for anyone to withstand.

Tatsuma did not choose to dodge, but instead formed hand seals. Unfortunately, no one could tell in advance what kind of technique he was forming. They only knew that there were very few hand seals for this technique, only one or two.

"Water escape! Water formation wall!"

Unlike others who directly condense water chakra, either to surround themselves or to inject it into the ground to make water flow out, Tatsuma took a deep breath and directly chose to exhale a torrent of water.

What was originally just a stream of water spewed from Chenma's mouth transformed into a surging river after traveling a few meters. The massive flow of water began to swirl and took shape completely before the water cannonballs even hit.

Even on the open sea, a massive waterspout, modeled after Tatsuma, spun wildly, carrying water cannonballs with tremendous force that slammed into the outer wall of the waterspout, creating countless splashes.

But when the water cannonballs tried to advance any further, they were torn apart by the water tornado and became part of the water tornado.

"Knock knock knock~"

Water cannonballs rained down on the water jets, but all to no avail.

Many of the Mist Ninja were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly. They had never heard of Water Release techniques being used on such a large scale. For some reason, a person came to mind: a master of Water Release.

That was Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage of Kirigakure, who could use large-scale Water Release techniques even in places without water.

Legend has it that during the Warring States period, on the battlefield between the Senju and Uchiha clans, even though the Uchiha created a sea of ​​fire that evaporated all moisture from the air, the ground, and the surrounding vegetation, it was a deadly place for all water-style ninjas.

However, Tobirama Senju could always conjure up a raging torrent of water-style techniques to extinguish the Uchiha's raging flames.

Although Tatsuma is currently in the Land of Water, where there is no place without water, making it the most suitable place for Water Release ninjas to utilize their skills, creating such a large-scale Water Release technique would still be a challenge.

Many of the Mist Ninja were secretly glancing at Genmi and Yagura. One of them was the Third Mizukage, and the other was about to overthrow the Third Mizukage's incompetent rule and become the Fourth Hokage. Could they use such a large-scale Water Release technique?

Noticing the gazes of the Mist Ninja, Genmi and Yagura both showed unnatural expressions, because... they really couldn't.

Compared to Yagura, Genmi's expression was slightly better. He admitted that his Water Release techniques were not as good as Takasugi Shinsuke's in terms of scale, but in terms of Water Release skill, especially the "quality" of Water Release techniques, he was slightly better than Takasugi Shinsuke.

Yagura, however, was inferior to Takasugi Shinsuke in both quality and quantity, so his expression grew increasingly grim. He was the Fourth Mizukage, tasked with leading the Village of Blood Mist back to normalcy; how could his Water Release techniques be worse than others?!

This is unreasonable! Therefore, "Takasugi Shinsuke" must die!

At this moment, Chenma's water barrier had already swallowed all the water cannonballs. In the eye of the storm, he calmly changed his hand seals and activated another technique.

"Water Release! Water Wave!"

The waterspout that reached straight to the sky suddenly bent over and crashed down towards the area where the Mist Ninja were gathered.

The Mist Ninjas scattered, but the volume of water was simply too great. The moment the waterspout hit the ground and went out of control, it transformed into a tsunami, chasing and biting the fleeing Mist Ninjas in all directions.

One by one, the Mist Ninja were swept into the water, tumbling and rolling in the turbulent currents, crashing onto the ground, trees, or their comrades. Nearly a hundred Mist Ninja were knocked unconscious by the attack, some of whom were clearly beyond saving.

Tatsuma, now revealed, leaped onto the water's surface, bobbing up and down with the rapids, admiring his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Since he no longer needed to consider chakra levels, he greatly enjoyed this simple and direct fighting style, which required little mental effort and was often quite effective.

"Nisuchi!"

Just as Tatsuma was admiring the scene, a figure rushed out of the water. It was Juzo Biwa, whose face was contorted in a ferocious expression. The five burn scars on his chin were now red and swollen, and his facial muscles twitched constantly as he spoke.

"Water Release! Shun Shui!"

Tatsuma didn't even glance back at Biwa Juzo. He clapped his hands, and several tentacles shot out from the water, whipping Biwa Juzo and dragging him and the melted Executioner's Blade into the water.

When the water level receded and the ground was exposed again, Pipa Juzo was already pale and slumped on the ground, clearly unconscious.

Meanwhile, the fleeing Mist Ninjas had regained order, and in another round of reorganization, hundreds of Mist Ninjas formed hand seals and launched ninjutsu.

"Water Release: Multiple Water Pillars!"

This time, Takasugi Shinsuke will absolutely not be able to swallow them up with his Water Release technique!

Seeing this, Chenma's clasped hands seal transformed into the Snake seal, and a massive amount of chakra was poured into the ground.

"Earth Release! Earthflow Castle Wall!"

"Boom! Rumble rumble~"

As the ground rose, a Great Wall was erected in an instant. Water columns crashed against it, causing the Great Wall to shake violently. The wall was constantly eroded and washed away, but when the last drop of water struck it, the Great Wall stood firm.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"Does he have an inexhaustible supply of chakra?"

While these people were wavering, Chenma's Si Seal had unknowingly changed back into the Clasping Hands Seal. His gaze no longer lingered on these hundreds of people, but instead fell on the more than two thousand Mist Ninjas who were gradually arriving from behind.

The real test is about to begin.
