I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 597 When did you begin to revere the gods? I began after I injured my ear while pointing at the moon.

Fear! This was an emotion that the Three-Tailed Fox thought it would never feel, but it was unusually strong at this moment. It knew that it was terrified to the extreme.

Looking up at the enormous image of the Myō-ō, which was ten times its own height, the Three-Tailed Fox couldn't muster any desire to fight back.

This technique, which used up almost all of Tatsuma's chakra and the power of the tailed beast, was much larger than the wooden dolls that Tatsuma was used to.

Standing inside the eye at the very center, Tatsuma even felt like he was seeing stars. His body felt completely drained; the energy required for this technique was unimaginably immense.

At this point, Tatsuma felt that the size of the Myōō statue should be about the same as the Great Buddha statue on the top of Hashirama Senju's head, excluding the Great Buddha statue of Senju.

At this moment, Chenma was even somewhat relieved that he had chosen Vajra Yaksha Myōō at first glance, instead of choosing Thousand-Armed Kannon like Hashirama Senju had. Otherwise, let alone emptying him out, he wouldn't have been able to use the technique of the Transformation of the Crown Buddha.

After all, the True Thousand Hands had a thousand hands that could easily control the Nine-Tails, while Tatsuma's Vajra Perfection only had six hands. Although it couldn't be measured so directly, this was the moment when Tatsuma most directly felt the difference in chakra between himself and Hashirama Senju.

Previously, it was only known that Hashirama Senju had a lot of chakra, so much that he could laugh and say that Naruto, who could share his chakra with tens of thousands of ninja, was "about the same as me in his lifetime," and even subtly implied that Naruto cheated by using the Nine-Tails.

But Tatsuma didn't have a precise idea of ​​how much, but now he did. He finally felt the strength of the man who was "strengthened when others were resurrected with Edo Tensei, but weakened when he was."

It's roughly three to four times, which is very close to Orochimaru's calculations. Once the Divine Tree cells in Tatsuma's body completely replace other cells and mature, they will be about three to four times their current size.

After taking a deep breath to calm the sudden surge of weakness, which felt like low blood sugar, Tatsuma looked at the Three-Tails, which was lying prostrate on the ground.

If tailed beasts could also suffer from megalophobia, then the first patient would probably be the Nine-Tails, and the second patient would probably be the Three-Tails right in front of us.

"Sage Art! Wood Release! Hokage-style Ear-Clearing Technique! Kouan Enters the Palace and Drops Hands!"

When the Dharma Image of the Bright King clapped its hands together, a sealing technique forming the character "座" appeared on the palm of each hand, controlling the Dharma Image to grab towards the Three-Tailed Fox.

The Three-Tails also came to its senses at this moment, curled up into a ball and rolled around rapidly, trying to escape the Dharma Form's capture.

"Shadow Caress!"

However, when the King of Light's Dharma form slammed one of its palms onto the ground, the ground crumbled into countless grains of sand, like quicksand in a desert. But on the quicksand, there were countless sealing techniques that hindered the Three-Tails' movements.

This is Shukaku's talent, [Magnetic Sand Tea Pot]. With nowhere else to go, the Three-Tailed Beast could only stop, curling up its body, trying to protect itself with its sturdy armor.

Between the three heads of the Myō-ō Dharma Form, countless steam and golden scales spewed out. Driven by the steam, the scales quickly covered the three-tailed beast's body. The three-tailed beast also inhaled a lot of the scales with each breath. Realizing something was wrong, the three-tailed beast stopped breathing.

Although it had been a long time since I had experienced this, this must be the Seven-Tails' ability, right? My consciousness was a little hazy, and when I came to my senses, the Three-Tails found itself in mid-air.

Its own tail, thousand legs, its own turtle, and its own head were all grabbed by the giant hand of the Myō-ō Dharma Image. The power of that sealing technique prevented the Three-Tails from resisting.

As his consciousness grew heavier, the Three-Tails was unable to control his body at all.

"What is that?"

In the far distance, Yagura Karatachi stopped, and the surrounding Mist Ninjas exclaimed in surprise, staring at the enormous Myōō Dharma Body that was hundreds of meters tall, their mouths agape, speechless.

"Is that a tailed beast in the hands of the Myō-ō?"

Looking at the somewhat miniature Three-Tails, a Mist Ninja exclaimed in disbelief. Not to mention the other Mist Ninjas, even Yagura Karatachi felt his mind shaken.

His first reaction was that it wasn't some kind of ninjutsu, but the true arrival of a Myō-ō, the Myō-ō from mythology, the Myō-ō from temples, the one who was passed down by word of mouth and received countless offerings, had descended to earth.

Unlike Hashirama Senju's True Several Thousand Hands: Top Transformation Buddha, Tatsuma's Vajra Extinction: Top Transformation Buddha, under the cover of the tailed beast's power, does not have obvious characteristics of Wood Release at first glance, which is why it gives the Mist Ninja such a misconception.

Yagura Karatachi didn't lose his composure for long, because he had already learned the truth from the Six-Tails: there was no Myō-ō descending; it was just a trick by Tatsuma Sakamoto.

It's just a ninjutsu that caused a sensation.

With this thought in mind, Yagura was about to order a morale boost when another exclamation arose from the crowd.

"What is He doing?! Eating?"

"Oh my god, did it think of the Three-Tails as food?"

"Didn't Buddha not eat?"

"That's a deity that feeds on food; how could it not eat?"

"Eating the gods? They'd even dare to eat excrement."

"You scoundrel! How dare you disrespect the King of Light to his face?!"

The exclamations were chaotic, even including questions and answers. Yagura's attention inevitably fell back towards the Three-Tails, where he saw the Myō-ō's image, with its middle head wide open, biting the Three-Tails.

"Impossible, impossible! Even Wood Release techniques couldn't break through the Three-Tails' defenses."

Before Yagura could finish his murmur, the image of the Myojin raised its head, and the three-tailed beast in his hand was missing a large chunk of its shell and flesh.

"That must be a true god, right? Only a god could possibly take a powerful tailed beast as food."

"But what is this Wood Release ninja that Six-Tails mentioned? Are they deceiving us?"

A new wave of exclamations continued, and no one noticed that a crimson arm appeared in another layer of space.

"boom!"

As the giant hand crashed down, hundreds of Mist Ninja were engulfed within it. At this moment, the shoulders, torso, neck, and head connected to the arm gradually appeared as well.

"Susanoo?!"

For some reason, Yagura Karatachi inexplicably recognized the suddenly appearing enemy. Perhaps he had seen him in some intelligence report before?

Compared to the distant Myō-ō devouring the tailed beasts, the strange attacks appearing beside them left the Mist Ninja at a loss. Their formation was instantly disrupted, and many Mist Ninja even abandoned their mission and loyalty, turning and running away.

For a time, no defensive or counter-attack formation could be organized among the ninja in the Mist; in fact, they lacked even basic awareness.

The Susanoo's giant hand swung down once more, carrying boundless power as it attacked the Mist Ninja.

"Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!"

Yagura Karatachi instantly appeared in the path of the Susanoo's giant hand, activated a ninjutsu, and a water mirror was created. An equally enormous hand rushed out of the water mirror to meet the oncoming Susanoo's giant hand.

"Boom! Rumble rumble~"

The two hands collided, sending the ground, trees, and the Mist Ninja standing on the ground flying. With one strike, a circle extending a hundred meters outward from the center of the attack left the ground completely barren.

Even Yagura Karatachi, one of the casters, was sent flying backward, rolling on the ground. The water mirror, having lost its support, shattered and became useless.

Inside Susanoo, Shisui and the others were dumbfounded. Even Tenfu himself was somewhat stunned. Susanoo was a bit too domineering. It only needed to rely on brute force to crush the enemy like a tumbleweed.

It requires absolutely no sophisticated skills; simply controlling Susanoo and smashing things like a three-year-old child is enough to have the power to destroy everything. It's wonderful.

Getting up from the ground, Yagura Karatachi, who usually pays great attention to his image, completely disregarded the mud covering his body and stared intently at Susanoo.

After that inexplicable feeling of "knowing" something, he finally remembered what it was. It was indeed Susanoo, the most powerful force of the Uchiha clan.

The caster should be

"Uchiha Tenkaze!"

Recalling the information provided by Kumogakure, Yagura's face darkened. Kumogakure had indeed provided information about Uchiha Tenka, which also involved Susanoo.

However, it has never been mentioned that Uchiha Tenka's Susanoo possesses such immense power.

Not only Uchiha Tenkaze, but also in the distance, that must be Sakamoto Tatsuma's technique. However, according to the Cloud Ninja's description, although Sakamoto Tatsuma is powerful, he is definitely not this powerful.

It must be that the Hidden Cloud Village deceived him! After all, lying about the difficulty of a mission and exaggerating the reward is something that many mission commissioners do. Sometimes, they even dare to lie about the difficulty of the mission by an entire level.

Such a client is someone every ninja village hates, but Yagura Karatachi never expected that such a client would actually be an entire ninja village!

Misrepresenting Konoha's strength to give the Mist Ninja more confidence to oppose Konoha—is this the Cloud Village's plan?

We've fallen into their trap. We've already fallen into their trap.

Yagura gripped his staff tightly. He had thought that the delay in paying the compensation was disgusting enough, but he had overestimated the moral standards of the Hidden Cloud Village. The Hidden Cloud Village was far more despicable than he had imagined.

Thinking of the potential losses that Kumogakure's misguided guidance might cause to Kirigakure, Yagura Karatachi felt an uncontrollable surge of anger.

Revenge! We must retaliate! Even if it delays the war in the Land of Fire, we must wage war against the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village. The Hidden Cloud Village owes the Hidden Mist Village, and they must pay it back. At the same time, the Hidden Mist Village must also receive an extra large sum of compensation!

But the enemy before us

Seeing Susanoo launch another attack, Yagura ordered a formation adjustment to prevent Susanoo from attacking as much as possible. Although Susanoo is powerful, it is not flexible and its methods are relatively limited.

But all their time was wasted dealing with Susanoo, while Sakamoto Tatsuma was far away.

At this moment, the image of the Myō-ō had already discarded the "remains" of the Three-Tailed Fox, and the system's announcement had already come to Tatsuma's mind.

"Ding~ [Ninjutsu +333], [Wisdom +333], [Spirit +333]. Special Talent [Iwashi Kamiya (Three-Tailed Isobu Limited Edition) +100%], Pick up?"

"Ding~ Limited talent [Breath of Immortality], pick it up?"

Upon seeing the available talent, Tatsuma was stunned for a moment. Tatsuma only had one limited talent, [White Demon], which had saved his life countless times, and now another one had appeared.

Is this considered a reward for successfully collecting Tailed Beasts?

Without having time to check the effects of the special and limited talents, Chenma chose to accept them, since Tianfeng was still fighting.

However, the moment he received the talent, the Mingwang Dharma Image collapsed, and Chenma also fell headlong, plummeting from a height of hundreds of meters. His face was contorted with pain as he looked in the direction of Tianfeng and the others.

"I must leave first."

With only this one thought in his mind, Tatsuma began to form hand seals with stiff, trembling hands.

"Flying Thunder God!"

As the light swirled, Tatsuma disappeared, Susanoo disappeared, and Tenka, who controlled Susanoo, along with Shisui and the others, also vanished.

For a moment, the Mist Ninjas drew their swords and looked around, bewildered.
