I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 534 When your airspace is occupied by others, you can't imagine what they'll throw down.

At the moment the seal was broken, the Seven-Tails sensed some very familiar chakra. Although neither side admitted it, the fact was that they were not only of the same kind, but also partners, or even brothers and sisters.

For a fleeting moment, the Seven-Tails thought that time had reversed in the ninja world, returning to a thousand years ago, before that old man left them, when the auras of these companions were not so powerful and filled with such ferocity.

But suddenly, a deep-seated sense of disgust and fear also came along with it. The fear was hard to describe, like the panic and fear of a thief encountering his victim.

It, which had always been the predator in the ninja world, now felt like it had become the prey.

The Seven-Tails looked at the human in front of it. He carried the aura of its companions. Without anyone explaining, the Seven-Tails naturally imagined its companions being eaten.

"monster!!!"

Instead of letting out an angry roar, it lowered its body and rammed its head into the human in front of it.

"Tentacle strike!"

Seeing the ramming horn that resembled a siege engine, Tatsuma's chakra erupted instantly. He used his monstrous strength and the technique of "Unrivaled Might" simultaneously, and steam began to rise from his body.

With his arms outstretched and pushing forward, the gust of wind generated by the impact of the Seven-Tails severely deformed Tatsuma's clothes. In the steam, Tatsuma looked like a statue of Jesus from Minado, facing the raging wind.

"Thump~"

Like the tolling of a morning bell, Tatsuma placed his hands on the tentacles of the Seven-Tails. The immense power and potential energy made it impossible for Tatsuma to stop it in place. He shoved his body backward, and the two deep trenches gradually turned into one thicker trench.

However, Tatsuma's movements did not change much, and the output of power did not stop. After gliding for dozens of meters, just as the power of the Seven-Tails' attack was about to be exhausted, it and Tatsuma both stopped.

Seeing Tatsuma use his body to block the attack, Takishinobu, who had thought Tatsuma would die, was even more shocked.

The Takigakure ninja who came here with Yasunari are all members of the sealing team, and they are also the ninjas in Takigakure who are most familiar with the Seven-Tails.

They were well aware of how terrifying the Seven-Tails' power was. Just the chakra leaked from the Seven-Tails alone required dozens of them to maintain the stability of the sealing technique day and night, let alone an attack from the Seven-Tails' true form.

Not only the Takigakure ninja, but even the Seven-Tails was extremely surprised. It had never happened before that human strength could stop its power. Even those two people from decades ago had subdued it with techniques.

But that human did indeed use the power of the Five-Tails, right? That steam was Kokuou's monstrous strength.

On the other side of the struggle, Tatsuma's face was also flushed. He had used all his strength, but he was still no match for the Seven-Tails' power. If he were to encounter the Five-Tails in its complete form, he would probably be in an even more sorry state.

Moreover, without entering Sage Mode, using [Super Strength] is too much of a burden, and Tatsuma is already feeling sore all over.

He pushed off with both hands and exerted force with his feet, then leaped up, pulling himself out of the ground and landing on the grass beside him. He said, "Your strength is among the top of the tailed beasts."

The Seven-Tails didn't answer, but instead warily watched Tatsuma. This human could use the Five-Tails' power, and he possessed not only the Five-Tails' aura, but also the abilities of other tailed beasts.

"You defeated the Nine-Tails? How could that guy be so weak?"

Although Tatsuma ultimately used his power to fight against it, it seems that this human does not have the strength to directly threaten their tailed beasts. Does he have other methods?

However, even if he had other methods, how could that Nine-Tails possibly...

"Wood Release: The Advent of the Tree World!"

At this moment, Chenma clasped his hands together, and the grass surged like waves. Then, seedlings rose from the ground and transformed into towering trees. These trees also frantically absorbed the special nutrients of natural energy.

"Wood Release?!"

Upon seeing the appearance of the Tree World, the Seven-Tails narrowed its eyes hidden behind its "helmet." It had a deep impression of Wood Release, as it was these Wood Release techniques that restricted its movements when it was imprisoned in Konoha.

This human in front of me can also use Wood Release, although it's not as good as the one I knew before.

Before the Seven-Tails could even observe clearly, it sensed the change in Tatsuma's chakra aura. Almost instinctively, the Seven-Tails increased the speed at which its three pairs of wings flapped.

If this level of Wood Release is considered merely passable, then adding Sage Mode creates a power that even the Nine-Tails couldn't handle—referring to the Wood Release combined with Sage Mode of the human who once imprisoned them.

But this human in front of me, while his Wood Release technique was less effective, didn't lose much of his abundant natural energy.

As the frequency of its wing flapping increased, the Seven-Tails' entire body began to float up, as if it were about to leave the ground.

"Sage Art! Wood Release! Both are techniques of using a cloth bag!"

"Rumble rumble rumble~"

As the Sage Chakra flowed, countless trees in the Tree World condensed into several giant hands, reaching out to grab the Seven-Tails as it tried to fly away. The Seven-Tails' tail was the first to be grabbed.

As Seven-Tailed Fox turned around, trying to break the giant hand, several other giant hands reached out to grab its body, grabbing its wings one by one. Seven-Tailed Fox, who was trying to escape, was now as if it were nailed to the support of the wooden giant hand.

"Rat-a-tat-tat~"

Its wings continued to flap desperately, but the limited space meant that its wings were not strong enough to break free from the giant hand. However, the flapping wings were like sharp blades, constantly cutting at the wooden hand.

Within the Tree World, Tatsuma formed hand seals and manipulated the Wood Release technique, showing no intention of revealing himself, because he knew that the Seven-Tails still had other methods up its sleeve.

The Scale Powder Concealment Technique is a technique that can shield the enemy's vision, paralyze their movements, and track their movements. Tatsuma is not worried about his vision being obscured because his perception technique can replace sight to a certain extent.

He wasn't afraid of being tracked by the Seven-Tails, since he wasn't afraid of the Seven-Tails' power at all, but he didn't want to try paralyzing the enemy's movements.

Although his health bar was terrifyingly thick and his self-healing speed was unmatched, Tatsuma had no intention of risking his life.

The Seven-Tails seems to be constantly cutting away at the Wood Release technique, as if it has room to escape, but Tatsuma's massive chakra is enough to support him in continuously repairing his Wood Release technique.

When facing an enemy for the first time, it is essential to expend some time using chakra to understand their strengths and weaknesses, since the Seven-Tails is not weak.

Seven-Tailed Fox was also getting anxious, because it realized that what it was doing seemed to be in vain. Moreover, Tatsuma was hiding in the tree world, which made it very passive and unable to attack Tatsuma, the caster. Even if it solved these spells, it wouldn't make much difference.

but

Feeling its body being pulled back to the ground little by little, the Seven-Tails couldn't hold back any longer. It opened its mouth wide, and the unique positive and negative chakra of the tailed beast began to gather and take shape.

"Tailed Beast Ball!"

A high-density chakra ball fell from the sky. Tatsuma instantly understood the Seven-Tails' intention: it wanted to destroy the Wood Release that was controlling it in exchange for a chance to escape.

Clearly, after witnessing Wood Release and Sage Mode, the Seven-Tails had no intention of fighting Tatsuma.

This is also an advantage of high mobility; if you can't win a fight, you can simply run away.

As for air superiority, it is something that the vast majority of ninjas do not possess. Even though some ninjas can gain temporary air superiority by raising flying beasts such as ninja hawks, it is still not a true advantage.

If you can't deal with yourself, how can you not deal with Ninja Hawk?

Therefore, the Seven-Tails is not worried about whether Tatsuma has a flying ninja beast. As long as it flies into the air, it will be invincible.

However, Tatsuma wouldn't let its plan succeed. At the very bottom of the Tailed Beast Ball's trajectory, on the trunk of a large tree, several characters formed by sealing techniques gradually materialized.

"Lake Toya!"

Tatsuma's figure flashed in an instant, turning into a streak of silver light and disappearing. When he reappeared, he was already at the very bottom of the Tailed Beast Ball, and he formed hand seals once more.

A wooden spike emerged from the large wooden arm, aiming straight for the Seven-Tails' head. The Seven-Tails turned its head to dodge, but what it didn't see was that the wooden spike that grazed its cheek also seemed to be inscribed with a spell.

"Flying Thunder God Guides Thunder!"

Within the Tree World, Tatsuma erected a massive sealing technique, large enough to contain the entire Tailed Beast Ball, while a similar technique unfolded atop the Seven-Tails' head.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

The Flying Thunder God Technique devoured the Tailed Beast Ball and then slowly expelled it from the top of the Seven-Tails' head.

Feeling the sky darken, and feeling an inexplicable pressure emanating from the Seven-Tails above, he couldn't help but look up. What he saw was the familiar Tailed Beast Ball that he himself had sent out.

The Tailed Beast Ball struck the Seven-Tails' raised face. The moment it made contact with the Seven-Tails, the Tailed Beast Ball became unstable, and the originally round Tailed Beast Ball began to twist rapidly.

The chakra ball, which was originally dark purple, was now constantly flashing with light. The Seven-Tails understood that this was a sign that the Tailed Beast Ball was about to explode.

It opened its mouth once more, and positive and negative chakra coalesced again, attempting to use another Tailed Beast Ball to replace the original one, but...

"Boom~ Rumble rumble rumble~"

There wasn't enough time; in fact, the presence of extra positive and negative chakra made the original Tailed Beast Ball even more unstable, accelerating its explosion.

When the Tailed Beast Ball completely passed through the Flying Thunder God Technique below, the entire Tailed Beast Ball exploded.

In that instant, all the sunlight visible in this space dimmed, and the light from the Tailed Beast Ball's eruption swallowed up all other light.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The screams of the Seven-Tails echoed, and amidst the roar and screams, there was another sound.

"Splash splash splash~"

It looks like a chain.
