I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 721 The game combos I developed, someone else uses them better than me.

"Click click click~"

Hearing the sound of rocks collapsing behind him, Pain immediately realized that it was no longer possible to trap Tatsuma. Looking at the Rasengan that was constantly approaching him, Pain also decided to give up using Shinra Tensei to block it.

"Bang!"

Just as Pain was about to withdraw and let the Rasengan strike the stone sphere that sealed Tatsuma behind him, an arm burst out from the stone sphere and reached for Pain's head.

At this moment, Payne did not share vision, nor did he need to; the flying debris and whistling wind were enough for Payne to assess the situation.

"Shinra Tensei!"

Without any hesitation, Pain immediately unleashed Shinra Tensei, attempting to break through the combined attack of Tatsuma and Naruto, but things did not go as Pain had expected.

Despite the ongoing conflict, Shinra Tensei, which has been effective in many ways since the start of the battle, has not been able to stop Tatsuma this time.

[Analysis and Erosion] is constantly disintegrating Shinra Tensei. Even though Shinra Tensei transcends the scope of ordinary ninjutsu, it still cannot be separated from chakra, and as long as it is chakra, it can be analyzed and eroded.

Tatsuma's hand passed through the solid barrier of Shinra Tensei, which was as solid as a physical barrier, and landed directly on the back of Pain's head. Pain felt a tightness on his scalp as Tatsuma's hand firmly embedded itself in the back of Pain's head.

"Squeak squeak squeak~"

The Rasengan arrived at this moment, emitting sharp, crackling sounds. In Pain's own perception, the Shinra Tensei behind him was constantly dissipating, while the part in front of him was being continuously peeled away.

"It's not that simple!"

Pain roared angrily. Tatsuma's hand was only clamping down on his head, but his hands were still free to move. Pain clapped his hands together, and more chakra poured out.

The Shinra Tensei, which had been being constantly eroded, suddenly became stable. Although it could no longer stop the part behind it that had already dissipated, the part in front of it that was dealing with the Rasenshuriken became very solid.

Even the Rasengan could only gradually dissipate, but by this time, the chakra that was maintaining Shinra Tensei had also been completely exhausted.

Naruto also leaped up and slammed a punch down toward Pain's face. In Pain's eyes, the speed of this punch was not fast; at least compared to Tatsuma, Naruto's punch could even be described as slow.

Normally, Pain could easily dodge or block, but at this moment...

"Bang!"

Pain could only take Naruto's punch squarely with his face. Pain felt a tearing pain in the back of his head, and his vision spun.

"Not bad."

Tatsuma praised him, then stretched out his hand with fingers spread wide, and strands of orange hair fell down. Naruto wanted to reply, but gravity pulled him back to the ground from the air.

Tatsuma slowly landed. Naruto glanced at Pain, who was buried in the ground and shrouded in dust, and stopped himself from saying anything. Instead, he said, "Uncle Tatsuma, let's talk later!"

After saying that, he rushed towards the direction where Pain had fallen, and two shadow clones appeared behind him as he ran. Naruto also switched to ninja running mode.

As he reached his hands behind him, two shadow clones behind him helped him condense a Rasengan.

"Spiral Chain Ball!"

As the Rasengan took shape, the shadow clones dissipated, and Naruto's main body plunged into the smoke and dust, followed by a deafening roar.

However, Pain's figure soared into the sky during the bombardment. Considering the time it took for him to escape the smoke and dust, it's clear that Naruto's attack didn't actually land on Pain.

"The Nine-Tails' chakra still has some influence. If we don't need the help of shadow clones, we can move even faster. In that case, the enemy might not be able to escape."

Tatsuma commented, and Naruto's somewhat embarrassed voice came from the smoke and dust: "Sorry, that Nine-Tails still won't completely obey."

Naruto's seal was broken by Tatsuma. Although Kurama did not deliberately make things difficult for Naruto even after Tatsuma left the ninja world, thanks to Tatsuma's "persuasion".

However, the Nine-Tails' chakra still seriously affected Naruto's use of chakra. For the past three years, he has been training with Jiraiya, and the main focus of his training has been on controlling his chakra.

His own chakra, the Nine-Tails' chakra, and the mixed portion of chakra.

Even so, Naruto's training progress was limited. His greatest achievement was suppressing the Nine-Tails' chakra without sealing it, so that he could enter Sage Mode, which requires a very balanced energy supply.

However, once in battle, if one cannot fully suppress the Nine-Tails' chakra, casting techniques becomes difficult, especially techniques like the Rasengan that require extreme chakra control.

"You all deserve to die!"

Pain angrily interrupted their casual conversation, touching the back of his head where he had bald patches, his expression completely out of control.

But after glancing at Tatsuma, Pain chose to charge at Naruto, a black rod appearing in his hand, ready to stab Naruto.

Seeing this, Naruto not only did not dodge, but also met the attack with taijutsu. Pain's face showed disdain as he controlled his body and barely managed to dodge Naruto's attack with a near miss.

"Frog Kyūbat!"

"Bang!"

Naruto's attack still landed on Pain, who was sent flying backward, tumbling through the air before landing. Clearly, the blow wasn't too heavy for him.

But his face showed surprise and disbelief. Even without a shared vision, with only a pair of eyes, Pain knew that he had definitely dodged Naruto's attack.

But Naruto's hand seemed to extend in an instant, making the slight distance between the two disappear, thus allowing the attack to succeed.

"External entanglement? That's a very advanced Armament Haki technique."

Tatsuma's strange comment left Naruto and Pain somewhat bewildered. Naruto, as the one who cast the technique, knew that this was not Armament Haki, while Pain had no idea what Armament Haki was either.

Tatsuma had not studied the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku, but having also entered Sage Mode, he was extremely sensitive to natural energy.

The moment Naruto used the Frog Kumite, Tatsuma clearly sensed that the natural energy around Naruto converged towards his hand, instantly forming a thick exoskeleton.

This technique is similar to the application of Armament Haki in another popular manga, and such a technique is something that ordinary ninjas cannot stop.

Unlike chakra, natural energy is invisible and cannot be sensed by ordinary ninjas. Therefore, even Pain could only detect that Naruto had been hit from a distance for a brief moment.

Chenma's face showed interest, and as he clenched his fist, natural energy gathered towards it. This was something every Sage Mode cultivator knew: attracting natural energy.

After all, if one cannot attract natural energy, one cannot have natural energy in one's body, and therefore cannot enter the immortal mode.

However, one of the difficulties in the Frog Dummy technique lies in attracting enough natural energy while preventing it from entering the body, keeping it only around oneself, and then using this dense natural energy to attack the enemy.

Tatsuma smiled. His control over natural energy was far superior to Naruto's at the moment. He was quite a distance away from Pain, but he still threw a punch.

"Ryuo!"
