I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 514 A person who has lost nothing is unlikely to compromise.

"Talk about your mother!"

Even Tatsuma was somewhat surprised. The Third Raikage showed no intention of negotiating whatsoever. Even though the village's two tailed beasts were under Tatsuma's control, he still roared, and lightning arcs flashed across his body once again.

Moreover, faintly, black arcs began to appear mixed in with the electric arcs, and there were more and more of them.

Upon seeing this, Tatsuma narrowed his eyes. This was the Third Raikage's unique black lightning, which could be considered the ultimate nature transformation of Lightning Release. Of course, there are many branches in the development of nature transformation.

For example, Kakashi's Chidori, the Raikiri style developed from it, or Sasuke's Chidori style inherited and developed, can all be considered the ultimate nature transformations of Lightning Release.

Black lightning is the symbol of the Third Raikage. Tatsuma had the opportunity to witness it before, but only a small amount was mixed in. That tiny bit was enough to numb Tatsuma's meridians, but now...

As the lightning on the Raikage's body gradually turned black, Tatsuma's expression became extremely solemn. He didn't know what effect the Third Raikage's full-force black lightning attack would have, but it must be terrible.

"Boom boom~"

Just then, two bursts of green chakra erupted from the two surrounding mountain peaks; these were Nawaki and Sento, who had activated the Eight Gates.

Before Tatsuma could even say anything, the two of them burst forth with astonishing speed, leaping across the gap between the mountains and landing not far in front of Tatsuma. They watched as the Third Raikage, who was also unleashing his chakra, moved out at the same time.

"Lightning Release: Black Spotted Blade!"

Black arcs of electricity coalesced into the shape of a leopard. As the Third Raikage charged, he resembled a mythical thunder leopard, rushing towards Tatsuma.

"Leave it to us!"

Nawaki turned his head slightly, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth, and gave Tatsuma a thumbs up before exchanging a glance with Sento.

"Eight Gates Formation! Sixth Gate! Gate of View! Open!"

"Boom~ Boom~"

As massive amounts of chakra surged forth from Nawaki and Sento's bodies, the already burning green steam transformed into billowing waves of air, directly blasting away the surrounding dust and debris generated during the battle.

The over-activation of their bodies put a strain on their muscles, blood vessels, and bones, causing their faces to contort slightly and their skin to turn an eerie red. Their untrimmed, apple-shaped hair stood on end.

As the chakra surged, even the arcs of electricity on the lightning bolt seemed to be peeling off from the Third Raikage, but under the Third Raikage's control, the black lightning returned to its proper form.

But for Sento and Nawaki, who had opened the sixth gate of the Eight Gates Formation, the Gate of View, this was only the beginning. The two leaned forward slightly, gathered their strength, and then shot towards the Third Raikage like cannonballs.

"Azure Flame Goose!"

"Azure Phoenix Seal!"

As they charged, the chakra cloaks covering their bodies ignited from friction with the air. Sento charged forward, unleashing a flying kick that mingled crimson flames with green chakra steam, forming the shape of a strange divine bird that hurtled towards Lei Bao.

As Rope Tree leaped forward, he assumed the Superman Fist stance, and above his fist, flames similar to those of Sento ignited, and two divine birds charged toward the black thunder leopard.

These are two different applications of the chakra unleashed by the Sixth Gate. It's hard to say which is stronger or weaker; it only depends on the intensity of their youthful passion.

"boom!"

The Thunder Leopard collided with the two divine birds. In an instant, arcs of electricity and flames filled the entire mountain peak. The dazzling light even made the Cloud Ninja and Konoha Ninja who were watching from other mountain peaks squint.

"I never expected that Konoha would have two taijutsu masters besides Sakamoto Tatsuma! In some aspects, your taijutsu has even surpassed that of Kumogakure!"

At the center of the lightning and fire, the Third Raikage gripped Nawaki's fist with one hand and blocked Sento's flying kick with the other. The leopard-shaped lightning on his body had faded and retreated between his legs.

His eyes flashed with a ferocious light as he looked at the two young men gritting their teeth. He himself clenched his teeth as well, but a smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Unfortunately, time is a murderer."

It will cause powerful people to grow old, and it will also limit even the most brilliant geniuses, making them less powerful due to age!

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his hands and grabbed Sento's calf and Rope Tree's forearm.

"Lightning Release! Super Shock!"

"Sizzle~"

Countless arcs of electricity suddenly appeared on their bodies, and wisps of white smoke rose from their bodies.

"Bang bang~"

The two were thrown out by the Third Raikage and crashed to the ground. Their eyes rolled back and they immediately lost consciousness, occasionally twitching, while the arcs of electricity on their bodies were still searching for their presence.

As the lightning dissipated, the Third Raikage looked at Tatsuma again, but his eyes suddenly widened.

Standing atop the Eight-Tails' head, Tatsuma held up a massive purplish-black chakra ball. When Tatsuma looked at him, he tilted his head and revealed a smile that sent chills down the Third Raikage's spine.

"Sage Art! Whirlpool Tailed Beast Ball!"

The enormous Tailed Beast Ball was thrown with great force by Tatsuma, much like the most outstanding baseball pitcher. The powerful throwing force caused the baseball to deform during its flight, and the Tailed Beast Ball in flight also underwent severe and violent deformation.

Tatsuma himself cannot use such a large Tailed Beast Ball right now. Although the positive and negative chakra in his body has increased considerably compared to a few months ago, he still cannot use a Tailed Beast Ball that is larger than the Tailed Beast itself.

With the help of the Uzumaki clan's power and Wood Release, he forcibly extracted the positive and negative chakra from the Eight-Tails and Two-Tails. Only through the balancing of Sage Mode and the chakra control of the Rasengan was he able to stabilize such a large Rasengan.

The Rasengan was flying towards a mountain peak where hundreds of Cloud Ninja were gathered.

The Cloud Ninja hadn't even recovered their vision from the dazzling light of the battle that had just erupted, and few of them noticed the arrival of the Tailed Beast Ball.

"boom!!!"

Just this one mountain, vanished without a trace, along with everything on it.

"you!!!"

The Third Raikage's eyes widened in fury as he stared at Tatsuma, his hands trembling slightly. He hadn't expected Tatsuma to dare to do this. Surrounded by thousands of Cloud Ninja, Tatsuma showed no intention of yielding.

Better to perish than surrender! If you won't negotiate, then let's all perish together!

At that moment, the Third Raikage understood Tatsuma's meaning.

Tatsuma maintained his smile and spoke again, saying, "Lord Raikage! I'm here to discuss terms!"

Upon hearing this again, the Third Raikage's facial muscles twitched. Negotiate?! What right did Konoha have to say such a thing to him?!

Since the start of the war, Kumogakure has lost nearly ten thousand ninjas. Tatsuma led three thousand men into the Land of Lightning. Although Kumogakure sent several times the number of Kumogakure ninjas to encircle and suppress them, they wiped out Konoha's forces, leaving only a thousand or so.

But what is the price to pay? It is several times higher. If Sakamoto Tatsuma could be killed, then a few thousand people would be nothing. But now Sakamoto Tatsuma is still alive and well, and has even captured two tailed beasts from Kumogakure.

And right in front of him, the Raikage, they once again blasted hundreds of Cloud Ninja to pieces!

Moreover, although the eight thousand Cloud Ninja led by Suzuki have repeatedly achieved great feats after entering the Land of Fire, they have also lost half of their forces. Especially after Hiruzen Sarutobi personally arrived at the battlefield a couple of days ago, those Konoha ninjas were like they had been injected with chicken blood.

If the Hidden Cloud Village could win, then these sacrifices would be nothing, but Tatsuma is now making it clear that he wants the Hidden Cloud Village to suffer this loss.

Even before Tatsuma spoke, the Third Raikage could guess what kind of conditions Tatsuma meant by "negotiating terms."

"impossible!"

The Third Raikage roared, "You'd rather die than surrender, is that it?! Then let's see who's more prepared to die!"

"Sizzle~"

Lightning blazed brightly around him, and the ultimate Lightning Release chakra condensed in his right hand, retracting each of his four outstretched fingers one by one.

However, he stopped when he was left with his index and middle fingers because he felt a tearing pain in his chest, where the wound was.

His newly formed muscles were simply not enough to support greater power; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen the Black Lightning technique, which was more focused on ninjutsu.

Knowing that his body had reached its limit, the Third Raikage no longer hesitated. Looking at Tatsuma, who had once again gathered the Tailed Beast Ball, he charged forward.

"Hellish Thrust! Double Penetration!"

"I'll take care of it. Sorry, this secret can only be kept until today!"

On the field, the unconscious Sento and Nawaki disappeared, and when they reappeared, they were already behind Tatsuma, and even Tatsuma couldn't see what had happened.

In front of him, in the direction from which the Third Raikage was charging, Tenka was also covering his eyes, standing in front.

Upon seeing Tianfeng appear, Chenma nodded and focused on controlling the Tailed Beast Ball he was holding.

The Third Raikage, charging forward, grew even angrier when he saw a thin young man blocking his way. What was going on in Konoha? Why were all these young people stepping forward?!

And this time it's such a skinny guy, is he being looked down upon?!

Just as the Third Raikage was enraged, Tenka lowered his hands from his eyes, revealing a pair of Sharingan eyes that the Third Raikage had never seen before.

"Susanoo!"

The spinning Sharingan suddenly froze, revealing the pattern within, which resembled an umbrella canopy, alternating between black and red, just like a protective umbrella opening up.

Crimson chakra emerged from Tenka's body, swaying and forming a skeleton that enveloped Tenka and blocked the Third Raikage's path to Tatsuma.

"Thump! Buzz buzz~"

The Third Raikage's two-handed strike slammed into the Susanoo's skeleton, the lightning and the crimson chakra constantly clashing, but it was only for a moment...

"Crack! Bang!"

With his skeleton shattered, the Third Raikage continued his relentless advance. Tenka opened his eyes wide, and more bloody tears flowed from his eyes.

"Kamo!"
