I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 541: Guarantees made by people with sufficient experience are more trustworthy.

Inside the camp, looking at the Konoha ninjas clad in fiery red chakra robes, as if flames were flickering around them, Tatsuma's eyes revealed a hint of envy.

He certainly wasn't envious of those people who could receive the blessing of the Nine-Tails' chakra, after all, he had long since moved beyond the stage where he needed to carefully manage his chakra.

What he envied was Kurama's ability to share his chakra. Although Tatsuma hadn't grown to the point where he could squander chakra at will, the effect of sharing his chakra would be unimaginable.

It's even more helpful than the Nine-Tails' chakra, because in terms of vitality, his chakra has an advantage over the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Although the Nine-Tails' chakra has the most vigorous life force among the tailed beasts and can have a certain restorative effect on those who receive its chakra, it is still not as strong as Tatsuma's chakra.

After all, when it comes to vitality, Wood Release is second to none, not even the tailed beasts dare to claim to be number one. In particular, Tatsuma can use Sage Mode to convert Wood Release chakra into purer self-healing chakra.

In addition to his knowledge of medical ninjutsu and the Eight-Tails' talent for "regeneration of severed arms," ​​the combined chakra he possesses has an incredibly terrifying regenerative ability.

If his chakra can be shared, then those who receive his chakra before his chakra is exhausted will also have "immortality".

Of course, this only applies to those who are injured but can recover quickly, but it cannot withstand attacks that are fatal.

It's really time to find an opportunity to pick up some more talents from Nine-Tails.

While Tatsuma was lost in thought, Orochimaru had already arranged the formation. Kushina led her three teammates and more than ten other small teams that could form a relatively complete functional unit to intercept the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi.

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han, who possessed greater power but lacked diverse skills, was entrusted to Tenka, who had come from another camp. Tenka did not require the cooperation of anyone else.

As a ninja from the Anbu, although he wasn't an expert, Tianfeng was a ninja who was proficient in various skills and could single-handedly replace an entire functional squad.

In addition to keeping the Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities a secret, Orochimaru agreed to Tenfu's request to act alone.

Moreover, even if something really happens to Tianfeng, the defensive line is a well-organized and interconnected structure that can provide support to Tianfeng at any time.

The remaining ninjas who stayed in the camp headed towards the main battlefield. Orochimaru dared to be so slow, waiting until the Iwa ninjas entered the high-threat zone before deploying his troops, because Kushina decided to join the battle.

With Kurama's chakra sharing and Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique, going anywhere becomes exceptionally easy.

"Is everything alright?"

Tatsuma looked at Minato and asked, but Minato smiled and shook his head, saying, "My Flying Thunder God Technique has already been planted over there, and the members of the reconnaissance team are also carrying my Flying Thunder God Kunai, so there won't be any surprises."

"Okay, then you take them there, I'll catch up as soon as possible."

Tatsuma must wait until Minato moves over before he can reach the battlefield using the "Lake Toya" kunai that Minato is carrying. The time difference is very short, but he still needs to be careful.

Minato nodded, indicating that he was fine. Then he looked in a certain direction and raised his chin. Tatsuma followed his gaze and saw that Jiraiya's face was red and he looked constipated.

"After all these years, Jiraiya-sensei still hasn't mastered Sage Mode?"

"It's partly due to the Nine-Tails' chakra; I saw he was quite skilled during training."

Minato offered a defense of his teacher, and Tatsuma asked with a smile, "And you?"

"what?"

Scratching his head, Minato pretended not to understand Tatsuma's meaning and said, "I haven't mastered it yet."

"Guess if I saw through your lie?"

"Haha, I'm not really suited to Sage Mode, so I won't embarrass myself by showing off."

Although compared to other ninjas, Minato's physical training and mental accumulation at this point meant that the amount of chakra he could refine was no longer a weakness; in fact, it could be said that his chakra was an advantage compared to most ninjas.

However, Sage Mode is still not very effective. It lacks endurance and cannot continuously refine one's chakra and mix it with natural energy, so it can only be used for one-shot attacks.

Including the time spent in Sage Mode, Minato, after several deliberations, ultimately abandoned the idea of ​​using Sage Mode as a trump card.

If he had Tatsuma's, or even just Jiraiya's, physical recovery ability, and his body cells could continue to squeeze out chakra after only a short rest, he would not hesitate to delve into Sage Mode.

But reality taught him that cutting his losses early was the wisest decision.

"Do you want to become a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast? Or I can ask my teacher for a complete set of Yin Seals and the Hundred Healings Technique. With your talent, you can continue to develop and perfect a plan that suits you."

Upon hearing this, Minato raised an eyebrow, but still shook his head, saying, "Let's not do that for now. Whether it's interacting with the Tailed Beasts or accumulating chakra using the Yin Seal, both require a lot of time."

Time is too precious for me right now; perhaps I should think of something after the war.

"You can decide for yourself. Just let me know if you need my help."

Tatsuma nodded and didn't try to persuade him further. Minato wasn't stupid; it's just that everyone has their own difficulties and considerations. In times of war, there isn't much time for Minato to train.

At the same time, he also has a lot of development plans that he needs to try and put into practice. It is not worth it for Minato to spend too much time on an uncertain Sage Mode.

It's not worth it at this stage, since he already has enough chakra, and Kushina wouldn't refuse to share the Nine-Tails' chakra with him.

"Alright! Let's go!"

Jiraiya, with a sage's face painted on his face and carrying two toad sages from Mount Myōboku on his shoulders, spoke. Orochimaru nodded, and the other ninjas in the camp checked their formation and stood waiting.

Minato nodded to Kushina in the distance, then crouched down, placing his fingers on the ground to sense the Flying Thunder God Technique in the distance.

In an instant, Minato and thousands of ninjas vanished. Seeing this, Kushina turned and led her teammates away. Tenka also waved to Tatsuma and said:

See you at the victory celebration banquet.

Tatsuma nodded, looked at Shikaku who was staying at the camp, and said, "Remember to manage the camp well, especially the storage area. Don't let the Iwa ninja destroy it."

Tatsuma knew that the Sannin had once led the Konoha ninja to destroy the Iwa ninja's war supplies warehouse and plundered a lot of supplies. Moreover, their current warehouse also contained a large amount of supplies left behind by the Iwa ninja when they retreated.

Although the destruction did not cause significant actual damage to Konoha, it was best to avoid it if possible.

Shikaku nodded and said, "Don't worry, even the demolition team can't get in."

Hearing Shikaku's confident and certain words, Tatsuma said nothing more. Just like Orochimaru's different treatment of Kushina and Tenka, the guarantee made by someone with sufficient experience is more trustworthy.

Tatsuma also crouched down and placed two fingers on the ground. His chakra perception spread faster than Minato's, and he sensed the location of Minato and the others almost in the blink of an eye.

In the Iwa ninja group, Huang Tu said to Onoki, "Father, almost all the ninjas from the Konoha camp have come here. They're using the same method as a year ago: the Nine-Tails' power combined with the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Onoki frowned and asked, "They're all here? That shouldn't be the case."

Aren't Konoha afraid of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails? Huang Tu continued to observe with his binoculars. Although sensory techniques can sense the approximate number of people, few sensory ninjas can clearly determine that the chakra cluster in the crowd belongs to a specific person.

Especially the ninjas of Konoha, all of whom are covered by the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak, which isolates their own chakra. Under sensory techniques, there is almost no difference between them, so visual means are still needed to investigate.

Huang Tu, holding binoculars, said, "I haven't spotted Sakamoto Tatsuma, nor does it seem like the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is there either."

"Um?"

"Wait a minute! Sakamoto Tatsuma is here too."

Upon hearing this, Onoki frowned even more. If Sakamoto Tatsuma and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki were not present, it would be somewhat understandable, since both of them had the ability to restrain the Tailed Beasts.

However, Sakamoto Tatsuma's arrival suggests he's confident he can secure victory on the main battlefield before the Jinchuriki disrupt the formation, and then move on to support other battlefields. Or perhaps...

Konoha actually has someone they don't know about who can deal with the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts?

Is it Hiruzen Sarutobi? Or Sakumo Hatake? Or that Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan brat?

Facing an opponent who wields the Flying Thunder God Technique, Onoki wasn't sure how many reinforcements they had, but regardless, the main battlefield would be very difficult, with Sakamoto Tatsuma, Namikaze Minato, and the three legendary Sannin...

Taking a deep breath, Onoki straightened his stiff back. His back was surprisingly cooperative today, not going on strike. He said, "Proceed as planned."

As he spoke, Onoki lightly lifted his feet, and gravity no longer bound him, allowing him to float into the air. His ascent greatly boosted the morale of the Iwa ninja. Looking at the Konoha troops opposite him, Onoki raised his hands.

"Dust Release! Pseudo-World Detachment Technique! Cube!"

No matter what tricks Konoha has up their sleeve, let's blast them with a cannon first!

As the translucent cube of chakra emerged from Onoki's hand and expanded, hurtling towards their side, Orochimaru glanced at Tatsuma, who had just appeared, and asked, "Can you handle this?"

Chenma smiled slightly and said confidently, "No."

What a joke! This is Bloodline Elimination, which is far more complex than Bloodline Limit. He can't even overcome Bloodline Limit, let alone overcome and deconstruct Bloodline Elimination.

Orochimaru gave him a disdainful look, then made a hand gesture, and the Konoha team instantly dispersed, giving up enough space for Onoki to bombard them.

"Boom~ Rumble rumble rumble~"

A neat pit appeared in the ground. Onoki nodded in satisfaction. His meridians were behaving very well today, and his chakra flowed very smoothly!

If he maintains this form, he might become the first person to defeat Sakamoto Tatsuma since the start of the war. With Sakamoto Tatsuma's reputation soaring, this would be an incredible feat!

But when he looked down, he saw Sakamoto Tatsuma and Namikaze Minato, each holding several Flying Thunder God kunai.

Tatsuma wielded the "Sword of Shinobi Love," while Minato held the "Lake Toya." The two unleashed Flying Thunder God kunai, transforming into two intersecting streaks of light that drew a perfect golden-silver double helix in the air as they rushed towards Onoki.

In the air, Minato shared with Tatsuma, "Let's call this move Light Release: Flying Thunder God Technique - Sky Spiral Instant Flash, Second Form!"

Onoki's eyes widened. These two brats, who were smaller than him combined, were clearly not going to show any martial ethics!

One Flying Thunder God Ninja couldn't get close to him, so two came. They were taking advantage of the fact that the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure was old and powerless!

Did they think that would instill fear in Onoki in just two days?! Damn it. They really do have a...
