I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 438 Perhaps I shouldn't have fallen in love back then; now I'll never be so infatuated again.

"Prepare for evacuation."

As Sento watched Tatsuma control the tailed beast, thinking that one day he too would be as majestic, a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears.

He turned his head and found that Minato and Tenkaze had already landed beside him. Sento scratched his bandages, feeling a sense of helplessness, as if he were only scratching an itch through a boot. He asked, "Retreat? Can he really deal with these Mist Ninja so quickly?"

Minato didn't answer, but Tenka rolled his eyes and said, "Deal with the Mist Ninja? Do you think our captain is some kind of good guy?"

Sento glared at Tenka with his Byakugan. Sure enough, this guy is a rogue ninja, right?! Absolutely!

Ignoring Hyuga Sento's rather unorthodox eye roll, Tenka said, "You really think that guy intends to help Genmi solve his problems?"

"Isn't that right? Actually, I think our collaboration this time went quite well. Genmi isn't as much of a jerk as he was last time we met; I feel like we could try to win him over."

Qian Dou scratched his bandage again, the itching became more intense, and he felt like he was going to grow a brain again.

Tianfeng decisively shook his head, looking at Qiandou as if he were a fool, and said, "What do you want to achieve by winning over the Mizukage? Is it to support Kirigakure? Or do you think the Mizukage will do something to harm Kirigakure?"

Minato then spoke up, "Do you remember when we left last time?"

Qian Dou thought for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "Dogs fight dogs!"

The last time they came to Kirigakure on a mission, they waited until the Kirigakure forces and the rogue ninja group were engaged in a direct battle before choosing to slip away. Tatsuma is planning to use the same trick again.

As expected, Tatsuma is no good person!

Minato nodded and said, "You could say that. Once Genmi's reinforcements arrive, that's when we'll withdraw. Right now, we need to preserve our strength."

Why?

"We need to break through some distance; we can't just use Flying Thunder God to leave."

Minato patiently explained, and Sento finally understood completely. He looked in Genmi's direction and said, "Isn't this a bit too cruel to an old man?"

Although Genmi's gaze was mostly fixed on Tatsuma, Sento still saw appreciation and care in Genmi's eyes, even more so than in Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Therefore, for some inexplicable reason, Sento developed a certain affinity for genmi (brown rice).

Hearing his words, Minato and Tenka remained silent for a while before Minato finally spoke up: "This is our mission, and Tatsuma has his own considerations."

Qian Dou didn't speak. In fact, he knew the answer himself, but he still couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"Damn it! Damn it! Let me go!"

As the Six-Tails was bombarded with ninjutsu and ninja tools, it became enraged, twisting its body incessantly. Its struggles, guided by Tatsuma, gradually became a source of danger for the Mist Ninja.

Under Tatsuma's control, mouthfuls of acid were sprayed at the Mist Ninja group. They kept dodging, and their formations were constantly broken. They could not organize a large-scale attack and could only fight piecemeal.

Genmi was quite incredulous to see that Tatsuma had actually controlled the Six-Tails. The Six-Tails wasn't bad-tempered, but that didn't mean it would obey. It was just more "kind" and didn't want to actively harm humans.

But no one has ever been able to truly control the power of the Six-Tails. Kirigakure did consider finding a Jinchūriki for the Six-Tails, but due to the Six-Tails' unique acidic nature, they simply couldn't find a good way to seal it.

After years of letting the Six-Tails roam freely, a delicate peace had developed between the two sides. But now, someone finally appeared who could control the Six-Tails. Looking at "Takasugi Shinsuke," Genmi suddenly thought, perhaps being a Jinchuriki is not a good way?

If he could do something like Takasugi Shinsuke... no, if Takasugi Shinsuke were willing to come back, then perhaps he would try to hand over the Tailed Beasts to Takasugi Shinsuke to manage?

In this way, Kirigakure can use the power of the Tailed Beasts while avoiding the time, effort, and luck required to cultivate Jinchūriki.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

"Cough cough cough~"

He suddenly coughed and instinctively covered his mouth and nose. He felt a warm, wet sensation in his palm. When he removed his hand, he saw that his palm was full of thick blood.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

A wave of dizziness washed over him, his vision filled with stars, and he heard a buzzing in his ears. He staggered several steps before regaining his balance.

"Damn it, is this a rejection reaction?"

Although the poison that Yagura replaced had been removed by "Takasugi Shinsuke", the lack of proper anti-rejection medication still caused problems with his body.

Genmi shook his head and opened and closed his eyelids several times. He looked at the back of "Takasugi Shinsuke" and thought, "This shouldn't be because of the transplanted bloodline limit, right? After all, 'Takasugi Shinsuke' doesn't seem to have this phenomenon, and he doesn't have the anti-rejection medicine provided by Konoha."

Moreover, the anti-rejection drug was designed for his transplanted organs. His current condition is likely a rejection reaction accompanying the organ transplant, as well as a bloodline disease of the cadaveric vein.

Tatsuma also noticed Genmi's weakness, but he only glanced at her before looking away, because he knew the truth.

Kato Dan had almost no rejection reaction because the organs he received were entirely grown from his own cells, but brown rice was different.

Although most of the rice was cultivated from Genmi's own cells, Tatsuma and Orochimaru added an extra ingredient: the bloodline limit from Shikotsumyaku, which ensured that the rejection reaction in Genmi's body was always present.

Anti-rejection drugs can only alleviate this rejection reaction, but cannot cure it.

As for the reason why he didn't care, he had no way to help Xuanmi solve this problem at the moment. He couldn't possibly pull out a bottle of anti-rejection medicine and say, "Hey! Lord Mizukage, I just happened to find a bottle of medicine," could he?

However, Genmi quickly used his own chakra to restore his physical condition. This was not the first time he had encountered such a situation in the past year, especially in the early stages.

After the master and disciple from Konoha finished their surgery and left, Genmi immediately stopped taking the medication. He dared not fully trust the people of Konoha, not even the so-called benevolent doctors.

However, the result of stopping the medication was severe weakness, which worsened day by day. Left with no other choice, Genmai had to start taking the anti-rejection medication sold in Kimonoha again.

However, over the years, Genmi has tried to stop taking the medication several times to see if the rejection phase had passed. Unfortunately, it hasn't; his body still has problems as soon as he stops taking the medication.

However, through repeated drug withdrawal tests, Genmi found some ways to temporarily alleviate the rejection reaction, and also unexpectedly discovered the power of the Corpse Bone Vein.

At first, Genmi also fell into deep self-doubt and wondered if this was a conspiracy by Konoha, but he quickly rejected this idea himself.

Konoha shouldn't have done such a thing. It's not that Konoha is noble, but it's unnecessary. If Konoha had mastered the technology of transplanting bloodline limits, they should have used it on their own people to cultivate more high-powered bloodline limit ninjas.

They even copied and transplanted the bloodline limits of the two great dojutsu ninja clans, completely eliminating their high status in the village.

Genmi's suspicions shifted from the "poisoning" of Konoha to his own background. After all, bloodline limits have a stage of "whether or not they are awakened," and perhaps he originally had the bloodline of the Shikotsumyaku ninja, but his father and grandfather had never awakened it.

However, Genmi stopped investigating when he reached his ancestors, because going further back was too chaotic and impossible to investigate further.

And today, Genmi finally has the answer.

Flesh and blood are weak and painful. Bloodline ascends! That must be what "Takasugi Shinsuke" was thinking, right? That's why he called it a glorious evolution, and why he chose to go against the grain of the former Blood Mist Village, right?

It wasn't until this Mizukage also said that "power has no right or wrong" that Takasugi Shinsuke realized that he was also a "comrade"!

If that's the case.

Genmi grinned, his sharp teeth and blood-stained gaps making him look like a deep-sea hunter.

"I should also truly experience this power!"

In the past, he had only tried and secretly practiced the bloodline limit ninjutsu of the Kaguya clan, but he had never actually used it in battle.

Let's start today! Let him, as the Mizukage, lead the way and let everyone in Kirigakure know that bloodline limits are not evil powers, but rather that these powers should be held by the right people.

For example, he's the Mizukage! Not some madman like the Kaguya clan!

"Shikotsumyaku! Tsubaki no Dance!"

The two bone swords fell into Xuanmi's hands. He no longer intended to suppress this power. Although he did not know how much the bloodline disease would affect him, he believed that as long as he returned to the village after today and continued to take Konoha's anti-rejection medicine, it should be resolved.

Moreover, even if Konoha's methods cannot solve the problem, their Kirigakure has a genius no less than Konoha's Dragon, Sakamoto Tatsuma, and that is Takasugi Shinsuke!

Genmi Chakra erupted, and blood seeped from his mouth, nose, and even the corners of his eyes, but he grinned. The active Shikotsumyaku cells in his body were unknowingly influencing his emotions.

Every member of the Kaguya clan with the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) ninja is warlike; this may be part of their clan's culture, or it may be an inherited trait.

He charged into the ranks of the Mist Ninja, and seeing these "traitors" who were panicked and showing disgust and hatred, he brandished his bone sword.

Genmi blocked the ninja tools and ninjutsu used by the Mist Ninja with the bone membrane of the Shikotsumyaku. At the same time, the rapid self-healing brought by the Shikotsumyaku made him the catfish stirring up the sardines, constantly weaving through the crowd.

Even after Genmi's reinforcements arrived, they couldn't comprehend what was happening before their eyes. Their Mizukage was slaughtering Kirigakure, along with Takasugi Shinsuke, that S-rank rogue ninja.

Moreover, their water spirits seemed a bit abnormal, covered in bone spurs and wielding bone swords. They felt that something must have happened to them today, otherwise how could they have seen this scene that only appeared in dreams?

However, under Genmi's orders, they still subconsciously carried them out and engaged in a chaotic battle with the Kirigakure led by Yagura.

"Corpse Bone Pulse! Dance of the Early Fern!"

Suddenly, bone spikes shot out from the ground, killing all the surrounding Mist Ninja, whether they were the rebel army led by Yagura or the guards who came to support them. In the sea of ​​bone spikes, Genmi reached out to Tatsuma.

"Takasugi Shinsuke! Let's fight side by side!"

Upon hearing this, Tatsuma smiled broadly. Then, he withdrew the Adamantine Chains that had pierced the Six-Tails' body, unleashing his Super Strength and Unparalleled Strength simultaneously. Combined with the power of Sage Mode, he delivered a punch to the Six-Tails.

"You must have at least heard people say that I only want to destroy, to destroy this decaying world."

"roar!!!"

Driven by pain and rage, the Six-Tails raised its head and roared, the positive and negative chakra unique to tailed beasts gathering within its mouthparts.
