I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 611 Time is the best cleaner; it will wash away all traces.

"Is this the power of the dragon vein? It's truly immense."

Upon arriving at the tall tower in the center of Loulan, Chenma's expression involuntarily became more solemn, for the torrent of energy flowing here was far too turbulent and bizarre.

For Tatsuma, who is extremely sensitive to time and space, even a casual glance gives him the feeling that the scenery before him is not the scenery before him, but rather this place in another time and space.

If it was just a feeling a few days ago, then Chenma is now certain that he can travel to other time and space if he wants to.

After all, both his "Lake Toya" and Minato's "Sword of Love and Resentment" were modified from the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and were essentially the same.

Making the distinction is only for the convenience of directional perception. It does not mean that Tatsuma cannot perceive the Flying Thunder God Technique of Minato or Tobirama Senju. Therefore, wherever these two techniques exist, as long as there is a feasible passage, Tatsuma can reach it.

And so the dragon vein opened the passage.

However, Chenma is not very interested in going to other dimensions right now; he just wants to use the power of the dragon vein.

Chenma clasped his hands together, and from the chaotic energy flow, strands of natural energy were stripped away and then drawn into Chenma's body. It took longer than usual for the immortal face to appear on Chenma's face.

As Chenma stepped down into what seemed like an abyss, he did not fall but floated in the air. With Chenma's control, he gradually sank, getting closer and closer to the torrent of dragon veins that seemed to have a physical form.

Chenma crouched down out of thin air, his right hand forming a mudra of opposition, and then slowly extended into the torrent of the dragon vein.

His talent for "Analysis and Erosion" allowed him to quickly analyze these energies, while his talent for "Stone House" prevented his hand, which reached into the torrent of the dragon vein, from being instantly eroded and destroyed.

Although losing an arm is not a big deal for Tatsuma, he now needs to "contact" the power of the dragon vein in order to make use of it.

Upon closer inspection, Chenma discovered that the spacetime channels opened up by the dragon vein at this moment, or rather, the spacetime overlapping at this node, were far more than the three he could perceive; there were many more, far more than he could imagine.

The dragon veins are even subtly interacting and circulating among themselves, which can be said to have turned the already immeasurable dragon vein energy into an endless one.

"What terrifying power."

Chenma withdrew his hand. Even with his amazing physique and the [Rock God House], he couldn't save his hand. The hand that had come into contact with the torrent of the dragon vein had been corroded beyond recognition.

In some places, it was as dry as tree bark, and in others, it was as smooth as a boiled egg. This was true not only for the surface, but also for the flesh and bones inside. It could be said that his right hand was almost necrotic.

With a chakra scalpel appearing in his left hand, Tatsuma frowned and swung his hand, severing his right hand. Before the blood could even gush out, the newly formed muscles and bones had already solidified, and in the blink of an eye, his right hand was restored to its original state.

The severed right hand, having lost Tatsuma's active protection, was instantly eroded away by the torrent, just like countless others that vanished into the river of time without leaving even a trace.

But only such powerful strength can help Tatsuma accomplish what he wants to do.

"My body, you have to hold on. Originally, I only wanted to spread it throughout the entire ninja world, but now it seems there's a chance to spread it across multiple ninja worlds."

Tatsuma murmured, taking deep breaths. The solemnity on his face surpassed that of any opponent he had ever faced before. In the past, survival was something he could fight for, but now...

We can only pray for a chance to survive.

Tatsuma clasped his hands together, and all the energy in his body was activated. The five elemental chakra, spiritual energy, physical energy, and the tailed beast power hidden in the God Tree cells all became active.

The technique he wanted to unleash had already exceeded the ninja's definition of "technique." Of course, this kind of power exists in the ninja world, and it's not only Tatsuma who can use it. If you have to say, this is the power of the Outer Path.

The power to transcend the six realms of reincarnation is theoretically a technique that can arbitrarily reverse life and death. However, Chenma did not study that direction. In the past year, while in a state of soul wandering, he studied how to apply the power of external paths to himself.

As for the Reincarnation technique, which reverses life and death, even if Tatsuma studies it, he may not be able to figure it out, because there are also barriers between different external forces.

What Chenma can gather is mostly physical energy, or what is called "yang" power, with a small amount of spiritual energy as an auxiliary.

The Rinnegan, which is born from the union of Yin and Yang, needs the power of the Rinnegan to be activated. However, even after exhausting his own soul, Tatsuma could not gather enough spiritual energy, otherwise his Myō-ō form would not have two empty eyes.

However, the energy used is combined and then becomes a power that a ninja can no longer control, transcending the boundaries of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. That's why Tatsuma collectively refers to it as the power of the Outer Path.

"Heretical paths! The myriad phenomena of the universe!"

Without restraint, the combined energy was instantly transformed, and Chenma's body changed, gradually transforming into a wooden form.

It's not Wood Release: Technique, but the "truth" of the Divine Tree cells. Tatsuma's current human form is merely a mimicry of the Divine Tree cells. The Ten-Tails in human form only has a human-like appearance.

This is actually one of the things that makes Tatsuma quite awkward. Although the Divine Tree cells are maintaining his human form on their own and don't require Tatsuma's intervention, he always has the feeling that drinking a cup of realgar wine might cause him to revert to his original form.

Compared to other forms of life, Tatsuma actually prefers to remain a human being.

Chenma's reverie didn't last long, because even with the [Divine Strategist] talent, he still had to use all his attention to control the energy within his body.

His body involuntarily swelled up, and he also grew two extra halves. The radiant energy flowing across his body transformed into the form of a wrathful deity.

This is neither the Wood Release Technique nor the Top Transformation Buddha, because both of these techniques essentially use Wood Release to create things. However, at this moment, Tatsuma has truly transformed into the Dharma Image of the Myō-ō.

The enormous Dharma image inevitably touched the torrent of the dragon vein, and the surging torrent, with its immense power, pulled the Chenma downwards towards the dragon vein.

Chenma did not resist these forces, but let the dragon vein pull him in, like a person being swept to the bottom of the water. The erosion of the energy even made Chenma feel like he was drowning.

"That's about it."

"Outer Path! Wood Release! Stream-Type Fukuda!"

Chenma casually plucked a green seedling, which appeared in his hand. He gently placed it into the torrent of the dragon vein, and the torrent swept it away. The seedling disappeared without a trace, seemingly being swept into another space-time connected by the dragon vein.

With each pinch and release, the seedlings surged and disappeared with the torrent.

With its nine eyes open, Chenma sometimes sees scenery that should be on the right when it looks to the left, and scenery on the left when it looks to the right, and scenery in the sky when it looks down.

In the torrent of the dragon vein, everything seemed chaotic, but Chenma knew that everything had an origin and an end. Therefore, he kept planting seedlings, and even though his body had become weathered, like a dilapidated Buddha statue, he did not stop.

With hands, green seedlings are planted in the fields of blessings; looking down, one sees the sky reflected in the water.

Tatsuma had no idea how many seeds he had thrown out, nor how much time had passed. It seemed like an endless eternity, but his senses told the weary Tatsuma that time had not flowed.

His consciousness grew increasingly rigid, yet he was still unable to detect whether the seedlings had landed, until he was so exhausted that he lost the ability to think. However, he clearly saw, through the torrent of the dragon vein, seedlings that had landed in other dimensions.

The seedlings, now freed from the torrent of the dragon vein, finally began to move according to the inertia of time, forming rice seedlings one by one. As they swayed, the fruits, which were also seeds, fell onto more land.

Tatsuma was still mechanically placing the green seedlings, but this time the seedlings were flowing against the current. Instead of being caught in the torrent, they easily found the fork in the torrent, broke free from the dragon vein's confinement, and landed in countless ninja worlds.

Only when the six senses are purified can rice be grown; retreating is actually moving forward.

The Buddhist verses seemed to have become the answer book, and the previously distorted vision became orderly. Tatsuma's nine eyes, each looking at the countless ninja worlds, were now focused on the world.

In the various ninja worlds before his eyes, strange figures appeared one after another, with skin so white it didn't seem human, horns, a pair of Rinnegan, and a scarlet mark on their foreheads.

These strange people varied in age, some were young, some were old, some were physical, and some were illusory. Some stood on the ground, and some floated in the air. At the same moment, their eyes were locked on Chenma.

The Sage of Six Paths!

The dazed Tatsuma suddenly snapped out of his daze. Looking at the countless Sages of Six Paths, just being looked at made him feel as if his entire body, not even his soul, was being stripped away.

Finally, after their bodies and spirits were dissected and examined, the Sage of Six Paths shifted their gaze. They seemed to be looking at each other, even though they shouldn't have been able to see each other. Yet, through the power of the dragon veins, they saw "themselves."

A moment later, a Sage of Six Paths, who was sitting cross-legged in the air with his Truth-Seeking Balls swirling around him like stars and whose body was ethereal, rose up and approached Tatsuma, while the other Sages of Six Paths turned and left.

The Sage of Six Paths arrived not far in front of Tatsuma. In comparison, he was not even as big as one of Tatsuma's eyeballs, but his size did not bring Tatsuma the slightest sense of security.

After observing Tatsuma for a while, the Sage of Six Paths raised his hand, and a Truth-Seeking Ball transformed into a long staff. The Sage of Six Paths lightly waved the staff in his hand and touched the center of the forehead of the middle head of Tatsuma.

In an instant, Tatsuma, who had just awakened from his despair, was plunged back into it. The world spun around him, but he was completely unaware of it until...

"Hello, young ninja."
