I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 595 There are always some inexplicable laws, such as pickled cabbage stir-fried with beef yogurt.

Gray debris kept falling off, and pink blood mist began to spread. Tatsuma frowned as he looked at the coral "hair" of the three-tailed beast, which was being polished and gradually thinning.

The Three-Tails' toughness was beyond imagination. Even the Rasenshuriken could only wear down its defenses, and could not penetrate it at all.

"boom!"

The Rasengan exploded completely, sending Tatsuma's body flying into the sky, while the Three-Tails fell back into the water.

"Bang!"

A huge splash of water erupted, followed by dense bubbles that surged continuously from where the three tails had fallen.

"Rat-a-tat-tat~"

After tumbling countless times in the air, Tatsuma came to a stop, his chakra wings making a propeller-like sound, while his right hand, which was holding up the Rasengan, was now a bloody mess.

He formed a hand seal, and the extraordinary vitality within his body quickly repaired his right hand. After he released his grip and swung it, apart from the tattered sleeve, there was no trace of the damage that the spiral shuriken had just inflicted on him.

"Glug glug~"

Suddenly, many bubbles rose from beneath the surface of the water, and at the same time, a heart-pounding feeling arose. Even from a great distance, Nara Madoka and the others became tense.

Even Tianfeng was silent at this moment. He had indeed fought against the Tailed Beasts and even won, but that was before the Tailed Beasts unleashed their true power, and he hadn't won in a direct confrontation.

Feeling the energy fluctuations that made people tremble involuntarily, Tianfeng's eyes turned blood red. Then, two protective umbrellas opened in his pupils, and a misty crimson chakra surrounded Shisui and the others.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

A dark purple chakra ball burst out of the water, its booming sound even drowning out the sound of the water breaking. As the Tailed Beast Ball gradually approached Tatsuma, coupled with the hand seals in Tatsuma's hands, the protective umbrella in the Eye of the Wind spun without hesitation.

"Susanoo!"

Crimson chakra instantly condensed into a huge half-skull skeleton, concealing Shisui and the others within its ribs. At the same time, the skeleton's hands were folded, adding an extra layer of protection.

Seeing that Tianfeng reacted so quickly, Chenma in the air no longer had any concerns and landed with the last seal.

"Flying Thunder God Guides Thunder!"

As the spell unfolded, a piece of broken wood in the water, engraved with the Flying Thunder God technique, served as the core of the array, expanding outwards with a complex sealing technique.

The Tailed Beast Ball that reached Tatsuma disappeared as if it had hidden in a door that had been opened in the air. Shisui and the others even looked around, trying to find out where the giant chakra ball had gone.

Only Tianfeng stared intently at the water level, which seemed to have risen slightly, and took deep breaths.

"Buzzing~ Boom!"

While someone was sleeping, a dark green lake, as deep as an abyss, emitted a dazzling light, as if the sun had been hidden within it. The next moment, the entire lake was blown up, and the sky was filled with its water.

Deep within the lake, astonishing waves of air swept outwards, causing the already vast lake to expand at an extremely rapid pace.

The ground beneath Tianfeng and the others, which were extremely far away, was not destroyed, but it still trembled violently. At the same time, a shockwave that seemed to distort their vision also crashed towards them.

"Boom! Rumble rumble~"

"Click-clack~"

Although the Susanoo's skeleton was not cracked, ratchet-like sounds came from its joints, and the space inside the Susanoo was also compressed considerably.

Nara Madoka and the others, who were initially puzzled by Tianfeng's defensive ninjutsu, now looked at Tianfeng with gratitude and a hint of admiration.

At this moment, Tianfeng, whose eyes were overflowing with blood and tears, felt it was all worth it. Seeing the adoring looks in these brats' eyes, what did losing some pupil power and life force matter?!

Anyway, I can ask Chenma for reimbursement for the localized damage to my eyes caused by overuse.

The bright light flashed for a long time, the frequency of which decreased and the brightness continued to decline, until everything settled down, large drops of rain fell from the sky, and visibility was restored.

At this point, the lake should perhaps no longer be called a lake, but rather a basin.

The original lake is now only a shallow layer of water. Although water is still flowing towards the lake from all directions, it will not be able to see the lake's former appearance for a while.

The creatures that originally lived in the water have all disappeared. In places further away, you can still see the small remains of fish, shrimp and crabs, but in places closer to the water, there are no traces left.

Despite such an attack, the Three-Tails shook its head, flicked its three tails, and stood up with its forelegs, showing no obvious injuries.

Tatsuma landed on the shallow water. He didn't even need to gather chakra in his feet, and the water level was too low to wet his feet.

The chakra wings behind him disappeared, and he clasped his hands together, looking at the Three-Tails whose one eye was spinning as if refocusing, and said, "Your defense is the strongest I've ever seen. I'm curious where its limits lie."

Thinking back to the original story, where Deidara used a small clay fish to blow up the Three-Tails during the Akatsuki's operation to capture the Tailed Beasts, Tatsuma found it absurd.

How could the Three-Tails, which could withstand even a Tailed Beast Ball, be so engrossed in art of that level? Perhaps Tobi, who partnered with Deidara, did something extra while playing in the water with the Three-Tails?

The Three-Tails remained silent. It could be said that the Three-Tails was the least talkative tailed beast that Tatsuma had ever seen. Even now, the Three-Tails hadn't uttered a roar or cry of pain that wasn't intentional. Perhaps it really didn't feel any pain or discomfort?

At this moment, the Three-Tails' single eye regained focus, landing on Tatsuma. It opened its mouth wide, and countless tiny Three-Tails, no bigger than a fist, crawled out and landed on the shallow water.

"Beep beep beep~"

Water bullets were launched from the small three-tailed creature's mouth, heading towards Tatsuma. Tatsuma frowned. This technique... Water Gun?

Although not exactly the same, Tatsuma has a guess that the Hozuki clan's Water Gun Technique might have been inspired by the Three-Tails' methods.

The water bullets were extremely fast, but Tatsuma seemed unmoved. The few people watching from a distance were even getting a little anxious. The Tenpu Sharingan rotated slightly, partly to better observe Tatsuma, and partly because a technique was already prepared.

Just as Tianfeng was about to activate his pupil technique, an orange-red immortal mask suddenly appeared on Chenma's face, and his hands, which were originally clasped together, instantly transformed into the Si (巳) seal.

"Immortal magic! Wood escape! Wood ingot wall!"

In Sage Mode, the power of Ninja, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu is doubled or even multiplied, and the amplification of Wood Release, which is highly compatible with Sage Mode, is even greater.

"Knock knock knock~"

The water bullet struck the wooden wall, making a difficult but manageable movement, but it was still managed to be defended against.

The moment the wooden ingot wall unfolded, Tatsuma flicked his hand, which transformed into vines, and grabbed at the smaller Three-Tails beside the Three-Tails. The smaller Three-Tails were not fast, and in an instant, several smaller Three-Tails were grabbed by Tatsuma.

Tatsuma, whose hand had transformed into its original form, looked at the small three-tailed beast in his hand and suddenly unleashed his power.

"Squeak squeak squeak~"

The small three-tailed creatures rubbed against each other's shells, producing a harsh and grating sound. Their appearance seemed to change slightly, but they were not destroyed.

Is even the clone this powerful?

Tatsuma narrowed his eyes; the Three-Tails seemed to be much harder to gnaw on than he had imagined.

"Beep beep beep~"

At this moment, the second round of water bullets also came, and the wooden wall closed again, blocking the Three-Tails' attack. Tatsuma studied the Three-Tails in his hand, trying to find a way to break it.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a huge column of water crashed against the wooden wall, and the ground beneath Chenma's feet began to shake. The fibers of the surrounding trees were constantly peeling off under the scouring of the huge water column.

The moment the top of the wooden ingot wall was lifted, Tatsuma gently tossed a Flying Thunder God kunai into the air. The kunai drifted away with the current, while the remaining part of the wooden ingot wall persisted.

Just as the wooden wall was completely destroyed, Tatsuma activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, appearing above the Flying Thunder God Kunai he had just thrown, already hundreds of meters away.

Seeing the Three-Tails spewing water jets, Tatsuma even considered whether to penetrate its body and launch an attack from within.

But the Three-Tailed Fox quickly noticed that Tatsuma had escaped, stopped pouring water, and closed its mouth again.

Tatsuma wasn't disappointed by missing the opportunity. After all, who says the Three-Tails' body is necessarily soft? The Three-Tails' powerful defense isn't just its shell; its flesh is also incredibly tough.

The mouth and esophagus may be slightly softer, but they are not "fragile". Therefore, attacking from the inside may be a good idea, but the results may not be ideal.

The final step in collecting the power of the tailed beasts seems exceptionally difficult.

Looking at the Three-Tails, Tatsuma felt unusually helpless. Was the Three-Tails strong? Not necessarily. Among the Tailed Beasts, the Three-Tails' attack power, even compared to the strength of a Tailed Beast Ball, was not among the top.

If it were simply a matter of defeating or sealing the Three-Tails, Tatsuma could do it in no fewer than five ways, but he needed to gather the power of the Tailed Beasts.

The first nine times I acquired the special talents of the Tailed Beasts, I did so by winning matches and acquiring the Tailed Beasts' chakra, which allowed me to obtain the special talents of the Tailed Beasts through the system.

No one told Tatsuma that this was the right way, but Tatsuma wouldn't change it easily. After all, the opportunity to fight against a tailed beast was very precious and not something you could just ask for.

Let's just consider this a rule, like the rule of stir-fried snow peas with pork hock, or stir-fried pickled cabbage with beef brisket.

Seeing the Three-Tails give up its attack and just stare at each other blankly, Tatsuma gritted his teeth. This Three-Tails is really tough as nails! How am I supposed to "eat" its chakra?

Chakra. The Three-Tails is itself an aggregate of chakra!

A sudden inspiration struck him. Chenma glanced at the little three-tailed fox in his hand, then suddenly vanished in a streak of light.

"Tenkaze, I need to know the arrangement of the Three-Tails' chakra, as soon as possible."

Tenka, who was searching for Tatsuma's figure with his kaleidoscope, suddenly heard Tatsuma's words, followed by two small three-tailed creatures.

"Hiss~"

The moment he caught the little three-tailed turtle, Tianfeng gasped as his two thumbs were bitten by the mouths of the two turtle-like three-tailed turtle heads.

He instinctively yanked, but the pain from the torn wound made Tianfeng's expression contort. He wanted to ask Chenma for help, but Chenma had already vanished again in a flash of silver light.

"hateful!"

Whether he was cursing the little three-tailed beast that bit him or angrily cursing Tatsuma for doing something inhuman, Tenka gritted his teeth, opened his Sharingan, and began to examine the little three-tailed beast in his hand.

He has to hurry, or he'll lose his finger!

Under pressure, the protective umbrella in Tianfeng's eyes spun rapidly, and the little three-tailed creature grew larger and larger in his eyes. At a certain moment, his vision seemed to enter the microscopic world.
