I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 722 When anger reaches a certain point, it can inexplicably subside.

Seeing Tatsuma throwing a punch at him from afar, Pain was confused, but he knew that Sakamoto Tatsuma wouldn't act without reason, recalling Naruto's method of harming him from a distance.

"hide!"

A safer option is Shinra Tensei, but Shinra Tensei is a technique that requires intermittent rest to be used again. And when facing two enemies, Tatsuma and Naruto, Shinra Tensei needs to be used in a more specific way.

After all, if Tatsuma had only thrown a punch in the air and he was so frightened that he used Shinra Tensei, then the few seconds of interruption he would have to endure would have been fatal.

Naruto looked at Tatsuma in disbelief, because he sensed that the surrounding natural energy had been almost completely drained by Tatsuma in an instant.

This level of control over natural energy... If I had this level of skill, then I wouldn't need to leave shadow clones to absorb natural energy and refine Sage Chakra, right?

Moreover, Naruto withdrew his gaze and looked at Pain, who was dodging to the side, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Pain could not dodge Tatsuma's attacks. Unlike Naruto, who could only gather natural energy in his hands, the natural energy that Tatsuma "commanded" was like tracking missiles, fired in rapid succession.

"Bang bang bang~"

Suddenly, Pain was struck repeatedly, his body swaying and twisting in the air like a rag doll, as if countless invisible men were relentlessly beating him.

"It's a useful technique, but... not very useful."

Tatsuma withdrew his fist, looked at Pain, who had crashed to the ground, and shrugged. The damage that could be caused by directly manipulating natural energy was far too low compared to converting natural energy into Sage Chakra before casting the technique.

Furthermore, since Tatsuma's superhuman strength is already ridiculously strong, this technique, which is neither as good as his ninjutsu nor his taijutsu, can only be used as a substitute technique to manipulate others.

If it had been Tatsuma's fists that had repeatedly struck Pain, Pain would probably have been torn to pieces, rather than just being beaten up and slammed to the ground.

However, if combined with the pressure point techniques of Hyuga Gentle Fist, directly injecting natural energy into the enemy's body, that would be quite effective.

If the characteristics of Shikkotsu Forest Sage Technique are added, it might be able to turn the enemy into a dried corpse or even a skin in one blow, since the consequence of Shikkotsu Forest Sage Technique's chakra imbalance is dehydration.

Moreover, it's not just water in the traditional sense, but also the liquefaction of cells in the body, which are then excreted.

Just like the Preta Path that absorbed Tatsuma's Sage Mode chakra at the beginning, all the flesh and bones in his body turned into a puddle of water, like a slug falling into a pile of salt.

If it were replaced with Sage Chakra from Mount Myōboku, the enemy would likely be petrified.

In Ryuchi Cave, the species would likely be transformed. Once the Sage Chakra of Ryuchi Cave becomes unbalanced, it will turn the practitioner into a greedy serpent, manifesting as a snake. In severe cases, the practitioner will completely transform into a snake.

Such techniques are simple to imagine, but quite difficult to apply in practice.

After all, the process of converting natural energy into Sage Chakra is generally completed within the body. However, it is extremely difficult to convert natural energy into Sage Chakra with the characteristics of the three sacred lands, but not completely into Sage Chakra.

Even Chenma felt that he needed to experiment with it cautiously. If he used it rashly, it might cause an imbalance of energy in his body, and he would hurt himself before he could even harm the enemy.

The thoughts in his mind were but a fleeting moment to the outside world. When Pain got up from the ground, Tatsuma also stopped thinking and looked at Pain.

"Unforgivable!"

Pain's voice was icy, as if his anger and loss of control had never happened, and his emotions had returned to calm.

He didn't want to investigate or discuss what methods these two people used to attack him, because it was pointless. The only thing to do now was to defeat them.

He extracted the Nine-Tails' chakra from Naruto Uzumaki and then completed his plan.

These two individuals must also pay the price for their blasphemous acts.

A terrifying surge of chakra began to coursing through Pain's body. Naruto frowned; at this moment, the chakra aura emanating from Pain was even more violent than that of the Nine-Tails.

Tatsuma narrowed his eyes, curious about what other tricks Pain could pull out. Moreover, the chakra that made Naruto feel uneasy was not something Tatsuma was afraid of.

It's just a mixture of tailed beast chakra, and not even complete.

If Tatsuma were willing, the chakra he unleashed could be even more violent than Pain's chakra at this moment.

In the distance, inside a disguised tree hollow, Konan said nervously and worriedly, "Nagato! Stop! There's no need to continue. As long as Sakamoto Tatsuma leaves, there will be other opportunities!"

"An opportunity. Ah, this is the best opportunity ever!"

Inside the special device, the unusually thin Nagato raised his head, his Rinnegan eyes seemingly about to pop out of their sockets at any moment, and said somewhat frantically:

"I sensed that not only Naruto Uzumaki had the Nine-Tails' chakra, but also Tatsuma Sakamoto, and even the chakra of the other tailed beasts!"

"As long as we capture them, even if we can't find the Eight-Tails, it won't hinder the plan!"

As he spoke, his already thin frame became even more sickly, as if he had no muscle or fat at all, with his skin covering and outlining his clear skeletal structure.

Even the outlines of his internal organs, liver and intestines, were visible in his abdomen. He murmured weakly and deliriously, "Let everything end today."

"Summoning Jutsu! Demonic Statue of the Heretic!"

On the other side of the battlefield, Pain used Shinra Tensei to push aside Naruto's attack. With his hands forming hand seals, he crouched down and slammed his palm into the cratered ground.

A spell unfolded beneath his palm, rapidly spreading outwards. At first, Naruto frowned slightly.

But soon, Naruto's brows furrowed, and a serious expression appeared on his face and in his eyes, because the range of this summoning jutsu was simply too vast.

Even if he were to summon the three Gamabunta brothers from Mount Myōboku, he wouldn't need such a large-scale summoning ritual.

At this moment, Shima, the hermit on his shoulder, spoke, his voice trembling slightly, to Fukasaku, the hermit on the other side: "Father of the child, do you remember... the enemy that the Great Toad Hermit once mentioned?"

Fukasaku pursed his lips, his long, unruly eyebrows twitching, nodded, and said, "I'm afraid... that's it."

"Who?"

Naruto asked curiously, but Fukasaku and Shima didn't answer. Instead, they looked at Tatsuma in tacit agreement. Tatsuma was forming hand seals and his body was radiating chakra that was even more terrifying than Pain's Deva Path and that summoning jutsu.

"roar!!!"

Smoke and dust billowed up, and a roar came from the direction of Pain. The sky turned dark at that moment, and a huge and ferocious figure could be vaguely seen dancing in the smoke and dust.

Suddenly, a head emerged from the smoke and dust, as if made of withered wood, with nine eyes.

"Sage Art! Wood Release! Vajra Extinction! Buddha Transformation on Top!"

At this moment, Chenma also completed the hand seals, and countless trees grew from his body. They then intertwined and transformed into a giant with three heads and six arms. Various colored lights flowed across his body, shaping him into the form of Vajra Yaksha King.

The Dharma Image has eleven eyes.

Is this a world where the more eyes you have, the more powerful you are?

Feeling the two incredibly terrifying chakra auras, but clearly Tatsuma's being even more terrifying, Naruto couldn't help but say.

After saying that, he even touched the area around his eyes, the place covered by the immortal's face mask. Compared to that, he, with only two eyes, was truly pitifully weak.
