I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 591 Some secrets are leaked without the person's knowledge.

There was no time to think about the "Ten-Tails" issue. Looking at the giant wooden figure with three heads and six arms that had been erected, and the vines on the ground that were constantly binding it, the Six-Tails knew that it had to fight.

It didn't want to be devoured by the human in front of it like its other companions!

"Hiruma!"

The Six-Tails' body surface rapidly secreted a strong acidic liquid, directly dissolving the vines binding its body and tail, freeing the Six-Tails from its restraints and allowing it to stand upright.

As the wooden man's six arms reached out, the six tails of the six-tailed creature also swung out, lashing out at the wooden man's large hands. The tails, carrying highly corrosive acid, struck the wooden man's hand.

Tatsuma, who was controlling the wooden puppet and trying to grab the Six-Tails, frowned because the puppet's hand did not retract as he wished, but remained frozen in place. Tatsuma poured more chakra into it.

"Bang bang bang~"

But those large hands broke off and crashed to the ground. Chenma, who was on top of the wooden figure, looked down and found that the six wooden hands, which seemed to be intact, actually had their internal fibers broken.

Recalling the moment when the vines binding the Six-Tails broke, Tatsuma guessed the reason: acid.

Indeed, we should not underestimate the tailed beasts. Even the seemingly harmless Six-Tails has its own unique skills.

More life energy was poured into the wooden doll, and the trees at the severed wrist grew rapidly, transforming back into a giant wooden hand that reached out to grab the six-tailed fox.

Based on past experience, Tatsuma knew that the Six-Tails should be more easily countered by the Adamantine Sealing Barrier than by Wood Release, but Tatsuma wanted to test how far he was from matching Hashirama Senju's Wood Release.

"Strong acid gas!"

Seeing that his attack only caused the wooden doll to lose a few hands, the Six-Tails was somewhat surprised. In fact, when it saw the Wood Release, the Six-Tails was not very surprised, because Tatsuma's chakra was very similar to that of the person who knew Wood Release.

However, in terms of chakra strength alone, it is not as good as, or even far inferior to, that human who knows Wood Release. Therefore, when Tatsuma used Wood Release, the Six-Tails did not exclaim much.

It could easily withstand that person's Wood Release for a period of time, and the Wood Release of Tatsuma, which was weaker than that person's, was not a concern.

However, it seems that Tatsuma's Wood Release is different, with a more vigorous life force.

It's not the abundance in "quantity" that's remarkable, but the abundance in "quality." The vitality of the dragon horse has transcended the realm of humans, which is why it has such strong resistance to its acidic environment.

Perhaps it's vitality plundered from its companions?

Thinking of this, the Six-Tails' chakra surged even more violently, and the dense acid mist pushed towards the wooden doll like a solid wall. The wooden doll raised its two arms to block in front of it.

But those arms, once brimming with vitality, have rapidly faded over the past century; their green leaves have quickly withered and turned yellow, then dissolved completely.

Some of the gas bypassed the arm's block and continued to impact the wooden figure. The surface of the wooden figure quickly became dull and lifeless, even giving it the texture of rotten wood, as if a gust of wind and rain could destroy it.

"That's a truly powerful ability. When it comes to Wood Release, you might be the most troublesome opponent."

Tatsuma praised sincerely and generously, not holding back at all. In the past, even the Nine-Tails, which he had encountered, was still restrained by Wood Release.

The Six-Tails seems to be the only one that is not countered by Wood Release. The Six-Tails is not as powerful as the Five-Tails or Eight-Tails, nor is it as fast or agile, and it is not as unpredictable as the One-Tails or Two-Tails.

However, even Wood Release, which can absorb chakra, seems to be ineffective against the Six-Tails, because one of the prerequisites for Wood Release to absorb chakra is contact, but Wood Release cannot directly contact the Six-Tails.

Anyone who gets close to its Wood Release will be dissolved by its acid. Even Tatsuma didn't know how to bite into the Six-Tails, since even a Wood Golem's head would be dissolved, right?

Unless you increase the strength of Wood Release, which requires time to accumulate and deepen your understanding of Wood Release chakra, there is another way to increase the strength of Wood Release in a short period of time.

That is, to irrigate more vitality.

Without hesitation, a large amount of physical energy was extracted and, with Chenma's stomping foot, the physical energy was poured into the wooden figure's body.

"Da da da~"

New seedlings sprouted from the wooden figure, breaking through the corroded surface of the wood. The new seedlings quickly intertwined, seemingly dressing the wooden figure in armor and traps.

The wooden figure swung its arm and rushed into the strong acid mist, punching the Six-Tails' mouthparts that spewed acid.

"Bang!"

The six-tailed creature's massive body tilted and crashed onto the bare ground with a loud thud, its acid dissolving a deep crater in the earth.

Seeing that the method was effective, Chenma smiled, showing no remorse for the loss of his life force. The Divine Tree Cells have not yet been found to have an upper limit on the number of divisions. As long as there is enough energy, Chenma's life force is almost limitless.

Although this will cause the cells in other parts of his body to age rapidly and then be replaced by the Divine Tree cells, increasing the possibility of his soul leaving, his body will eventually be completely transformed into Divine Tree cells, so there is no need to worry about this issue.

The fallen Six-Tails was filled with shock as it looked at the wooden golem whose body had only become slightly duller but had recovered in the blink of an eye. This was too much.

Regardless of power and scale, in terms of sheer strength, Tatsuma's Wood Release seems to be no less powerful than that of the human named Senju Hashirama. In fact, Wood Release can even restore life force.

This is something even Hashirama Senju couldn't do. The Six-Tails still remembers how Hashirama Senju did it, completely disregarding the damage to the Wood Release. No matter how much it was damaged, Hashirama Senju would use Wood Release chakra to regenerate that much.

It tried to outlast a tailed beast with its chakra using a human body, and in the end, it lost.

But Tatsuma chose a different path. Because Tatsuma's chakra reserves were not as high as Hashirama Senju's, and even less than the Six-Tails', he chose to conserve his chakra and squander his more precious life force.

This was undoubtedly a foolish choice, because for humans, vitality is far more important than chakra, but Tatsuma's vitality had already exceeded the scope that humans should have.

Therefore, this extremely low-cost-performance method is actually very suitable for Chenma.

He used his life force to repair the Wood Release, using his own life force to resist the speed of the Six-Tails' corrosion. And this time, the Six-Tails lost again!

It lost to Hashirama Senju, and now it's lost to Tatsuma Sakamoto. If it keeps losing like this, will it, as a dignified tailed beast, be reduced to one of those wild beasts tamed by humans?! Doesn't the Six-Tails have any dignity?!

Rising up, the six-tailed creature's enormous body lunged at the wooden figure, but its target was not the wooden figure, but Tatsuma, who stood atop the wooden figure's head.

Although Tatsuma has a very strong vitality, what if... what if it could be dissolved in acid in an instant?

Although his life level has surpassed that of humans, Tatsuma cannot yet be like a tailed beast, able to regenerate by gathering chakra even if he is killed and his body is reduced to ashes.

Therefore, as long as Chenma is killed and dissolved in one go, even if his vitality is strong, he will not be able to be resurrected!

"Knowing the wolf is rotten!"

The acid enveloped Tatsuma, thick with it in front, to the left, right, and above. It seemed that Tatsuma had nowhere to hide except for a passage behind him.

But Tatsuma didn't intend to dodge, because if he did, his connection with the wooden doll would have to be severed. Although he could use Flying Thunder God Technique or Body Flicker Technique to return to the wooden doll's head at any time, that would still take time.

Given the corrosive nature of the Six-Tails' acid, even a short time would be enough to completely rot and decay the wooden doll. Creating a giant wooden doll would consume a considerable amount of chakra.

Even Tatsuma had never tried using this technique twice in a single battle. Perhaps he could, but after using it twice, his control over the battle situation would be less flexible, and many techniques would become ineffective.

Therefore, Tatsuma decided to hold his position firmly. He formed a hand seal, and something seemed to be surging in his shoulders and below his cervical spine.

"Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"

Half of Chenma appeared to his left, right, and above him, with both the clone and the original forming hand seals simultaneously.

"Water Release: Water Pillar!"

"Wind Release! Vacuum Dayama!"*3

Aside from the clone above using Water Release, Tatsuma's main body and the clones on the left and right all used Wind Release. The acid above needed to be pushed away and dispersed, so Wind Release wasn't very suitable.

As for the front and left/right sides, just blow them away a little; Wind Release is enough.

The raging winds and torrents rendered the overwhelming acid ineffective, causing it to spill onto the wooden figures or the ground, where it rapidly corroded them.

Tatsuma's three half-body clones quickly disintegrated into fine vines, while Tatsuma's main body controlled the wooden dolls, which hugged the six-tailed dragon that pounced on them. The six huge wooden doll arms tightly gripped the six-tailed dragon's body.

He poured all the life force he had extracted into the wooden dolls into them. The three wooden doll heads simultaneously approached the Six-Tails and opened their mouths.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Feeling its body being bitten, the Six-Tails struggled incessantly, its body constantly secreting highly corrosive acid in an attempt to dissolve the wooden doll's teeth that were biting it, as well as the wooden doll's arms that were binding its body.

But it was too late. As the wooden figure raised its head, pieces of the six-tailed creature's flesh were torn off, and after a couple of chews, it was swallowed into the wooden figure's stomach.

The Four-Tails and Five-Tails initially attempted to resist the Wood Golem's devouring with magma and steam, but the Wood Golem developed resistance after acquiring their chakra.

The same was true for the Six-Tails. After the Six-Tails' flesh and blood entered its belly, the flesh and blood decomposed into chakra and was absorbed by the Wood Release. Acid began to seep out from the surface of the Wood Golem, but this acid did not corrode the Wood Golem. Instead, it became a protective layer.

The acid from the six tails no longer had any effect, and Tatsuma no longer needed to refine his physical energy into life force to nourish the wooden doll. At this moment, he could simply enjoy this feast to his heart's content.

With its acid ineffective, the Six-Tails also revealed its weakness: its body was much weaker than the other tailed beasts, and its strength was no greater.

If the Eight-tailed Beast is like tough beef, then the Six-tailed Beast is like jelly, which doesn't even require much chewing; you can easily crush it with just a sip of your mouth.

Watching the Six-Tails shrink and wail, Tatsuma said, "Tell me the location of the Three-Tails."

The Six-Tails twisted its body, refusing to answer. Its two wooden arms freed themselves, gripping the small tentacles supporting its eyes, forcing it to look directly at Tatsuma. Tatsuma spoke, "North? Northeast? East? Southeast... Southeast!"

Tatsuma noticed the subtle change in Rokubi's eyes and continued to ask, "Southeast-east? South? South?"

Those enormous eyes, even the slightest change, were incredibly noticeable. This was no longer micro-expression observation; it was blatantly revealing the answer.

Chenma looked towards the southeast and said, "Thank you for your answer. In return, I will spare your life."

"Ding~"
