I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 589 How many people only dare to experience the services of a five-star hotel when they are on a business trip?

"So, once a ninja gets old and his strength declines, he has to recognize his own limitations. No one can be strong forever. When you reach a certain age, you have to retire gracefully."

In the rainforest, Tenka said to Shisui and his three students as if imparting a truth: "Just look at our Uchiha clan leader, Taku, and the Third Hokage, and you'll understand."

When the time is right, we should hand over the stage to the younger generation. This way, they can have better opportunities for development, while we can preserve our reputation and our lives, right?

Hearing his words, the three students and Shisui all nodded. Tatsuma rolled his eyes and said, "Don't corrupt the children. They don't need to think about this yet."

Also, this shouldn't be a topic of conversation. I don't care if others would do something so tasteless, but you absolutely cannot, understand?

Shisui nodded quickly, and the others also indicated that they understood. Tianfeng muttered, "Fine, don't tell me then."

Chenma glared at Tianfeng, then said, "Don't waste this opportunity. There are many opportunities to learn infiltration, but during wartime, the chance to infiltrate enemy territory may only come once. You should cherish it."

After changing the subject, Tatsuma said, "Tenkaze, you need to be more serious. You're responsible for attracting the attention of the Mist Ninja and protecting these children. Don't get distracted by trivial matters."

"understood."

Tianfeng nodded and said, "Do you know where the Three-Tails and Six-Tails are located?"

"I know the location of the Six-Tails. As for the Three-Tails, collect them slowly. If you have any news later, contact me immediately, understand?"

Tatsuma had dealt with the Six-Tails more than once and knew a little about it. Although he didn't leave behind the Flying Thunder God Technique formula, the place where the Six-Tails lived was very distinctive.

After all, the acid from the Six-Tails will change the geological characteristics of the place where it lives, so it's not difficult to find the Six-Tails if you spend a little time.

The Three-Tailed Beast is a bit more troublesome. Tatsuma has never even seen the Three-Tailed Beast before. He can only speculate from its habits that it probably lives in seclusion in large bodies of water.

If the Three-Tails lives in the Land of Wind, then finding it would be very simple. After all, there are very few large bodies of water in the Land of Wind suitable for the Three-Tails to live in; it's either one or the other, and you could find it even with your eyes closed.

However, in the Land of Water, where there is no shortage of large bodies of water, finding the Three-Tails without any intelligence sources is extremely difficult.

Sensing techniques are not omnipotent. One of the prerequisites for sensing is the reaction of chakra. Tatsuma did not know what the Three-Tails' chakra was like, so he could not compare it with the chakra.

As for fully expanding the range of perception, that would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Although as a tailed beast, the Three-Tails' chakra should be very obvious in the field of perception, that is an ideal situation.

Many sealing techniques and barrier techniques can reduce the intensity of chakra radiation, and the accuracy of sensory techniques decreases with distance. Therefore, it is quite normal to miss the sealed Three-Tails.

When Tatsuma first found the Six-Tails, it was partly by chance. He could only sense the raging chakra when he stepped onto the surface of the place where the Six-Tails was sealed.

This was under the condition that Kirigakure did not pay too much attention to the leakage of the tailed beasts' whereabouts. Now, Kirigakure's protection of the tailed beasts' whereabouts will only be stronger, and the sealing and barriers will also be stronger, making it impossible to capture them by simply casting a net.

Moreover, trying to explore every possible chakra reaction within the vast field of perception is a huge test for the brain, and even with the [Divine Strategist] talent, Chenma dared not attempt it lightly.

In the past, he could sense his own Flying Thunder God Technique from a great distance because of the special nature of the Flying Thunder God Technique and because he knew where his Flying Thunder God Technique was engraved. He could find it in a targeted way, which was naturally much simpler.

This is why Tatsuma characterized this mission as an infiltration, because they must first infiltrate the Land of Water and use the methods of intelligence ninjas to gradually uncover information.

If you can't get information about the Three-Tails directly, then you'll have to collect, organize, summarize, and judge it yourself.

This task may be short, taking only a few days to complete, or it may take a long time, requiring a journey across the Land of Water to find the Three-Tails.

Fortunately, when Konoha's spies withdrew from the Land of Water, they left behind some usable resources due to the urgency of the situation, so they did not have to start intelligence gathering from scratch.

Of course, there is also a slightly more likely way to quickly find the Three-Tails: prying it out of the Six-Tails' mouth.

The chakra of tailed beasts can be linked to each other. This link can withstand the test of distance and time better than any ninjutsu. Just like the link between Tatsuma and Shukaku, even though they are at opposite ends of the ninja world, Tatsuma can sense its location.

However, the relationship between the tailed beasts is not that good. They have no brotherly affection for each other. It's considered good if they don't fight when they meet. It's very difficult for them to connect and communicate with each other.

Therefore, it is only a possibility that the Six-Tails knows the location of the Three-Tails. Of course, if the Six-Tails does know, Tatsuma is confident that he can extract this information from it.

Although he had never worked in the interrogation department and was not as skilled as the professionals in the ANBU interrogation department when it came to interrogating criminals, if the subject was a tailed beast, then Tatsuma was undoubtedly the ninja in the ninja world who knew best how to torture tailed beasts.

After explaining a few more things, Tatsuma and Tenfu split up. Tenfu took Shisui and his three students to carry out the mission, while Tatsuma left his students to be led by others, which had become his tradition.

Moreover, what he was going to do was face the Tailed Beasts head-on. Although Shisui had already faced one with him, the danger level of Takigakure was not as high as that of the Land of Water. Tatsuma could guarantee that nothing would happen to Shisui in the Land of Takigakure, but in the Land of Water, being distracted could be fatal.

Having become a blind samurai again, Tatsuma, leaning on his wooden cane, entered a town where he needed to find a place to stay.

Although you have plenty of experience in wilderness survival, why add unnecessary hardship to your life unless absolutely necessary?

The infiltration went smoothly, which surprised Tatsuma. He had thought he would become a wanted criminal again, but it seemed that Sakata Gintoki's identity had not been exposed.

Tatsuma kept an eye on the reactions of the people around him and sensed the few Mist Ninjas in the town, but even when he brushed past a Mist Ninja, the Mist Ninja did not react at all.

It seems that Mei Terumi has kept his identity a secret very well.

I don't know how that child did it. Perhaps he had extraordinary talent from a young age. After all, he is the future Fifth Mizukage.

Of course, there is also the possibility that Mei Terumi was implicated because of Tatsuma's incident, and perhaps she was executed without even being interrogated.

This might not be possible in other ninja villages, but who knows what would happen in Kirigakure?

After being swindled out of some money, the "poor" blind samurai, Mr. Sakata Gintoki, finally found a hotel to stay in, and Tatsuma did not rush out to look for the Six-Tails.

Instead, they stayed in the inn, listening to gossip and analyzing the current situation between the Land of Water and the Hidden Mist Village.

The frequent reports of victories from the front lines greatly pleased the people of the Land of Water, who constantly discussed the benefits of the Fourth Mizukage taking office.

Although the potential benefits of the war could not yet directly affect these civilians, they did not mind cheering for it, after all, the ninjas had finally stopped killing each other.

It's always better to kill other people than to kill your own.

After listening for a while, as the number of people in the restaurant gradually increased, Tatsuma left with his cane and returned to his room. He closed the doors and windows, leaving some imperceptible traces, and then activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, transforming into a silver streak of light.

In the rainforest, Chenma galloped about, his camouflage removed, quickly searching for anything unusual in the rainforest.

Although the tailed beasts were most likely guarded by ninjas, Tatsuma did not overlook any strange places that were not guarded. He even discovered two places where the Six-Tails' chakra remained.

This most likely indicates that this was once the place where the Six-Tails lived, but due to the threat from Tatsuma, Kirigakure had to change the Six-Tails' living location from time to time.

When Tatsuma found the third place where the Six-Tails had once lived, a map of the Land of Water appeared in his mind, showing the three locations based on the strength of the remaining chakra and the patterns of change.

A place appeared in Tatsuma's heart.

Upon reaching the summit of a high mountain, Tatsuma's expression was somewhat strange, because he had been here "not long ago," though that was more than half a year ago. This was the place where the alliance and peace talks were held.

Based on his estimation, Tatsuma believed that the Six-Tails moved to this location around the time the alliance talks began, or shortly before they began.

This is quite interesting. Perhaps Kirigakure initially held a conservative view on peace talks, and the Six-Tails might have been one of Kirigakure's backup plans. However, things went quite smoothly afterward, so the Six-Tails didn't have to be used.

However, Tatsuma frowned slightly as he scanned the area below, because there was no trace of the Six-Tails' existence in sight, and the terrain and soil were not unusual.

Perhaps that's why Tatsuma didn't notice when he brought the Hyuga clan here before.

The sealing barrier used here is different from the sealing barrier used by the Six-Tails before. Tatsuma concluded this in his heart, which was very interesting. Had the sealing techniques of Kirigakure suddenly improved? Or had other people intervened and helped?

He crouched down, touched the bottom with two fingers, and invisible chakra ripples spread out. Tatsuma became more and more certain that this was the place where the Six-Tails was sealed.

Since the encampment here has not been disbanded, it was used for the Alliance talks and should have been disbanded after the talks, but it has not been disbanded for more than half a year, which can only mean that it was not the only purpose.

"Found it."

At this moment, Tatsuma sensed some unusual sealing barriers, but he did not take immediate action. Instead, he observed the patterns of the Mist Ninja's movements and reporting. Only after the Mist Ninja had completed their report did he take action and eliminate the Mist Ninja on the ground.

"Earth Release! Earthquake Core!"

After dealing with the Mist Ninja, Tatsuma formed hand seals and slammed his palm on the ground. The ground quickly trembled, and a piece of land rapidly rose up, revealing a sealing barrier.

Through the semi-transparent barrier, Tatsuma saw the six-tailed creature bound by chains inside. He pursed his lips. This sealing technique is quite rare.

Tatsuma reached out and placed his hand on the barrier, intending to sense it more closely, but flames suddenly erupted from the barrier so fast that Tatsuma couldn't react in time. He withdrew his hand, looked at his charred palm, and smiled.

"Uchiha Flame Formation, how interesting."
