I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 695 You need to inform others when helping them, otherwise you might be seen as a troublemaker.

"Stop playing around. This guy is just a half-finished product of the evil god's experiment. Although he can use the evil god's spells, he is not immortal. There are still many people here who haven't been dealt with yet."

Watching White Zetsu tear open the stomach of the Land of Hot Water person he controlled, letting blood and intestines flow out, Black Zetsu cursed under his breath. If he could, he really didn't want to act with White Zetsu.

While White Zetsu are useful, their minds are all incredibly bizarre. If these White Zetsu weren't created by their mother, Black Zetsu would never want these clumsy creatures to live.

If it weren't for the White Zetsu supplying him with life force, the owner of the Land of Hot Water would probably be dead by now.

But we can't let White Zetsu keep "playing" like this. After all, if all the blood is drawn, even with White Zetsu's life force, he will die. The plan isn't completely finished yet, and the shop owner can't die.

Seeing that White Zetsu had finally stopped, Black Zetsu turned around and began selecting new blood samples.

"Tsunade? No, her self-healing ability is too strong. Even if this human exhausts his life force, he still won't be able to inflict any real harm on Tsunade."

"Sakumo Hatake? He's fine dealing with other humans, but he's not up to the task of stopping the Tailed Beasts. There's no need to waste his time here."

"Why isn't there a blood sample from Hiruzen Sarutobi? Oh right, he seems to have retired and doesn't need a medical checkup anymore."

"Let's take this one. It's not very useful on the battlefield, but I really want to see what Sakamoto Tatsuma's rage looks like."

Black Zetsu picked and chose, then took out a blood sample bottle and said to White Zetsu, "Let's use this next. First, destroy both hands, then the meridians."

White Zetsu controlled the Land of Hot Water boss using the blood sample bottle and then began casting a spell.

Inside the Konoha clan's territory, Nono, who was mending clothes and telling stories to the children with a smile, suddenly froze.

"Dean, why are you bleeding?"

A child asked nervously. At this moment, the small piece of clothing in Nono's hand was stained red with blood, and Nono's hands were abnormally curled up.

"I"

Nono suddenly felt her neck being tightly gripped, and the chakra within her body seemed to be fluctuating abnormally, a manifestation of her meridians struggling.

"No!"

Nonou gritted her teeth and rushed outside. Although the uncontrolled release of chakra wouldn't cause much harm with her chakra, the orphanage was full of children.

Even a little bit of chakra could injure them, which is something Nono doesn't want to see.

Moreover, this unexplained attack was far too bizarre. If she lingered among the children, the person who attacked her might also harm them.

"Bang!"

Nonou broke through the window and fell to the ground, but she didn't dare to stop. She propped herself up on the ground with her shoulders and head and then ran towards an open space.

During this process, her meridians began to be damaged, and the out-of-control chakra kept surging in her body. Even her internal organs began to be damaged, and blood uncontrollably spilled from her mouth and nose.

"Who is it?"

Nonou felt like she couldn't move an inch. The intense pain in her body made her completely unable to control herself, and she fell down again.

In her daze, she saw Kabuto, Yamato, and the others running towards her with a mixture of nervousness and worry.

"Don't come any closer!"

Gritting her teeth, Nono warned loudly. She didn't know what would happen, but she couldn't take any risks.

Kabuto stopped, staring blankly at Nono. Nono's resolute yet loving gaze seemed to remind him of something. He seemed to have seen it before, but when? And where?

Why do I feel this strange sense of familiarity when I'm rejected because of love?

"Cough cough cough~"

Nono coughed, blood gushing out, and she tried to move her body away from the children.

"Roar~"

At this moment, a roar entered Konoha, completely waking the relatively calm village. Even from a great distance, many people looking towards the source of the sound could still vaguely see several fluffy and thick tails swaying.

"Idiots! Idiots! I'm protecting this stupid woman, can't you see that?!"

Outside Konoha, the Nine-Tails, now in its complete form, swung its claw, forcing Tsunade back, and roared at Minato, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Minato, who had been exuding murderous intent, was momentarily stunned by Kurama's roar and subconsciously asked, "The wound at the seal, you didn't cause it?"

"Do you think I'm some kind of idiot like Shukaku?! Do you think I can break the seal by directly attacking the body that holds it?"

"If the seal isn't broken, and the Jinchuriki dies, I'll die too!"

Nine-Tails' expression was contorted, as if it were enduring intense pain. Its tone became extremely harsh, and blood vessels began to appear in its eyes.

"Hiss~"

Suddenly, a gash appeared on its abdomen, and a large amount of blood, simulated by chakra, gushed out and splashed onto the surrounding land. The weeds that had just shown a glimmer of life withered instantly.

"Then why did you attack us just now?"

Although Minato really wanted to help Kurama (the Nine-Tails) in its current state, he still needed to get to the bottom of things. Kurama let out a series of low growls, and upon hearing Minato's question, it angrily retorted, "You're so close to the Jinchūriki, what's wrong with me treating you as enemies?!"

"roar!!!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox raised its head and roared again. Its already torn wound seemed to be ripped open once more. It roared wearily and furiously, "Hurry up and seal me away! Are you waiting for me to break free of the seal?!"

This stupid woman, how could her life be so fragile?! If it were Mito... oh my god!!!

"Bang!"

It fell to the ground, its claws scratching at the earth. Seeing this, Minato quickly formed hand seals, but as soon as he did, the Nine-Tails went berserk again.

"Seal me away! Who told you to seal me back in?! If that stupid woman gets out again, she's doomed!"

Minato stopped the spell. At this moment, he finally understood what Kurama was doing. Kurama was taking the damage for Kushina. If Kurama was sealed back into Kushina's body and Kushina's body reappeared, then all the damage would return to Kushina.

Kushina's body, having just given birth, was completely unable to withstand such damage. The Nine-Tails, at least at this moment, was definitely issuing a warning with good intentions.

However, perhaps the pain made Kurama's expression too confused. Even Minato only just understood it now. He looked at Kurama and said, "Kyuu... thank you, but I can't let you suffer the pain alone."

Xiao Jiu is my wife, and I'm the one who should be helping her bear her pain.

As he spoke, Minato's hands were rapidly forming hand seals. Then he slapped one hand onto his stomach, and the clothes that touched his hand were instantly burned to ashes. A complex sealing technique appeared on his abdomen.

Immediately, he rushed towards the Nine-Tails, his hands forming hand seals once more. The Nine-Tails seemed to realize what Minato was trying to do, gritted its teeth, and still extended its hand.

Suddenly, Minato stepped into a black puddle. The black water splashed up and suddenly enveloped half of Minato's body. A look of horror appeared on Minato's face, but the hand seals on his hands began to change uncontrollably.

"Don't"

Minato wanted to remind him of something, but his hand, already formed with hand seals, had already slapped onto the claw that Kurama (the Nine-Tails) was offering.

"roar!"

Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes instantly turned crimson, and a figure slid down from the wound on its abdomen.

"hateful!"

Minato looked at his dark left hand and forcefully formed a hand seal. The sealing technique covering his abdomen suddenly expanded, as if trying to completely envelop him.

But that dark, viscous, liquid-like substance became incredibly smooth, sliding directly off Minato's body and disappearing into the ground.

"Minato! What happened? Why was the seal between Kushina and the Nine-Tails broken?"

Tsunade rushed over and asked, but before Minato could answer, something white suddenly began to swell on his body, forming arms that seemed to be trying to hug him.

"Rasengan!"

Before he could answer, Minato used the Rasengan and pressed it against the strange white creature, completely destroying it. Only then did he explain, "I was controlled and used the Eight Trigrams Seal to release Kurama."

Self-blame, anger, and guilt swirled in Minato's heart. At this moment, Kurama, completely out of control and still unable to regain its senses, swung a claw toward Kushina on the ground.

"Flying Thunder God!"

A golden flash streaked past, and Kushina was brought back to Tsunade's side by Minato. Seeing Kushina's extremely weak appearance, Minato said, "Lady Tsunade, please treat Kushina's injuries."

Tsunade nodded and immediately began treating Kushina, but still said pessimistically, "But what happens when a Jinchuriki loses their Tailed Beast?"

She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear. Minato nodded heavily and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Things haven't gotten to the worst yet. The most urgent thing is to prevent the Nine-Tails from causing trouble."

"With that guy gone, it's my turn to protect this village."

Seeing that the Nine-Tails' mouth was beginning to gather a Tailed Beast Ball, and that it was unconsciously aiming at the village, Minato immediately transformed into a golden flash, sending Tsunade, Kushina, Biwako, and the others away, before reappearing on the village wall.

"Flying Thunder God! Lightning Guide!"

He caught the flying Tailed Beast Ball and teleported it. In the distant, desolate mountains, flames suddenly shot into the sky, and the resulting shockwave crossed the layers of mountains, crashing against the walls of Konoha.

The sealing barrier protecting Konoha also flickered with a faint light, dissipating the impact of the shockwave.

"Sakumo! Fugaku! Thoroughly investigate the village to see if anyone is manipulating all of this! Tokifu, come with me to fight!"

On the main street, Hiruzen Sarutobi, with a solemn expression, rushed towards Minato. As he formed hand seals, a sturdy monkey ran alongside him.

"Sarutobi, didn't you retire? Why are you fighting again? Who's the enemy this time?"

"I promised you, I'd find you a powerful enemy, the Nine-Tails!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up, and Enma's expression became intriguing. He also noticed the Nine-Tails outside the village continuously releasing chakra. Gritting its teeth, it said, "Come on! Let's see if its claws are harder, or my body is harder!"

"Ape Demon! Vajra Cudgel!"

The demon monkey transformed into a long staff, which was grasped by Hiruzen Sarutobi. Hiruzen Sarutobi leaped high into the air and landed on the wall. The staff in his hand also became incredibly thick and long. He slammed the staff down hard, aiming for the Nine-Tails' head.

Silver light shimmered on the roof of the Hokage Building.

"Something's definitely happened. I'm going to take command!"

Without needing to ask anyone, Shikaku already sensed the chaos in the village. At this moment, he, as the leader of the Jonin squad, was needed to direct and coordinate the situation. Fortunately, Kurama was still outside the village and had not caused any damage.

Tatsuma nodded, then transformed into a flash of light once more and appeared within the Senju clan's territory.

"Tatsuma."

"Hmm, don't speak yet."

Tatsuma gently placed one hand on Nono's head, as if to comfort her, while his other hand rested on Nono's abdomen, prioritizing the repair of her internal organs. At the same time, he slightly turned his head to look in the direction of Kurama.

The killing intent and rage that had not been fully revealed for a long time, along with the chakra that had accumulated within him to an unknown quantity, surged together, causing the entire Senju clan territory to tremble slightly.
