I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 741 People who are severely lacking in love can become addicted to just fantasizing about happiness.

"I've gone bald, but I've also become stronger."

In the desert, Gaara touched his hairline, which had receded wildly in a short period of time. The dark circles under his eyes, which had gradually faded after losing Shukaku, became even darker than when he had Shukaku.

A gust of wind blew by, and he staggered slightly, clearly his body was so weak that it was dangerous. His red hair, blown by the wind, revealed his unusually high hairline.

"Tatsuma-sensei, please be careful!"

He looked like a typical internet addict who was so tired from staying up all night that he might die suddenly, but when Goara raised his hand, terrifying chakra erupted from his body, instantly infecting the entire wasteland.

He imbued all the sand with chakra, and his Magnet Release surpassed all his predecessors in Sunagakure, because his Magnet Release did not require metal particles as a medium.

He can imbue any substance with the properties of Magnet Release, even a person. He has also successfully combined Magnet Release with Sand Manipulation Ninjutsu, reaching a level that even his mother, as Tatsuma said, had not achieved.

Hearing news of his mother from someone in another ninja world, Gaara's emotions were complex, but mostly joyful.

Moreover, it seems that he was not the other Shukaku Jinchuriki in the ninja world, so his mother did not have to go through so much hardship when she was pregnant with him, and therefore did not die in childbirth.

During this time, Gaara wanted to give up his special training countless times, but as long as he thought of the beauty of the other ninja world, he could always grit his teeth and persevere.

Because it was so wonderful, his mother didn't die because of him, his father wouldn't resent him, he didn't become a Jinchūriki, his sister and brother wouldn't fear him, and his uncle wouldn't die because of him.

How could he not repay Sakamoto Tatsuma for bringing him this good news? Therefore, he studied desperately, learning knowledge he had never encountered before, studying at night when there wasn't enough time during the day.

Now it's time to take the exam.

By combining Magnet Release with Sand Manipulation Ninjutsu, the wasteland was transformed into undulating sand dunes. Some of the sand swirled wildly like tornadoes or waves, while others resembled deep pools with still, deep waters.

He looked at the figure in the distance, clasped his hands together, and countless yellow sands crashed against the yellow sand in front of him, like waves, instantly turning into a yellow sand tsunami that pressed down on Chenma Gai.

Gaara didn't even have time to properly organize the techniques he had developed during this period, let alone name them, but not naming them wouldn't affect their power.

"What incredible talent! Even Shukaku wouldn't stand a chance against you now."

Chenma did not make a move immediately. Instead, he looked at the seemingly rough, raging, but actually clumsy, technique and smiled.

Who said his teaching methods are problematic? That's the students' problem, not his incompetence as a teacher. Look at Gaara, he's doing very well in school, isn't he?

"Water escape! Water formation wall!"

Chenma formed hand seals and forcefully extracted a drop of water from the extremely dry battlefield. The water droplet then transformed into a flood, completely enveloping him and resisting the onrushing yellow sand.

"It's not over yet!"

Gaara spread his hands apart, grasping in mid-air, and forcefully broke free from the flow of water, causing the yellow sand that was pressing against the water's flow to swirl in the opposite direction.

If Minato and the others were here, they would find that the yellow sand controlled by Gaara at this moment is like a materialized and gigantic Rasengan.

Each grain of yellow sand follows the trajectory of the Rasengan, but unlike the Rasengan's explosive destructive power on the outside, Gaara's Yellow Sand Rasengan focuses more on strangling the inside.

Even steel would be twisted into a pretzel and eventually torn apart if thrown in.

Far from the desert, sitting atop a tree branch, swaying in the breeze, Minato and his son opened their eyes.

Minato looked towards the desert and said, "Tatsuma's student seems to be finishing his special training. Naruto, what about you?"

Naruto sat cross-legged, his hands forming a special hand seal in front of his abdomen. Hearing Minato's words, he nodded and said, "I've found that feeling."

"But it's still a bit short of what you described, Dad. When I fully borrow Kurama's chakra, I seem to have difficulty sensing external natural energy and combining the two."

"Haha~ It seems that Kurama is still a bit unconvinced by you."

Minato looked at his son with a gentle yet proud expression, and then said, "You can rest assured that you will entrust this last step to Kurama. He is our best partner."

Any suspicion can create a rift in the harmony between us. Only when our hearts are united can we achieve mutual success. This is the power of the mind.

"Letting the Nine-Tails enter Sage Mode is equivalent to us entering Sage Mode."

As he spoke, Minato clasped his hands together and communicated with the Nine-Tails within his body. Soon, a golden chakra cloak draped over Minato's body, and at the same time, the surrounding natural energy converged towards him.

However, the one who dominates the absorption of natural energy is not Minato, but Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

When he opened his eyes, Minato's pupils turned into a cross. He had only tried this state after Tatsuma reminded him, but the process went surprisingly smoothly.

It seems that this is the perfect state for a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"I'll try again."

Looking at Minato's expression, Naruto was also filled with excitement. He patted his belly and said, "I'm leaving everything to you, Kurama!"

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying burst of chakra erupted from his body. Unlike Minato's subtle and gradual use of chakra, the treetops swayed violently the moment Naruto's chakra exploded.

But Naruto dared not leave easily, because only under such extreme conditions could he test his control over the chakra within his body and the Nine-Tails' chakra.

The orange-red chakra gradually transformed into a golden chakra cloak. Naruto, who was shirtless, was now wearing an extremely cool outfit, and covered in the golden chakra cloak, he looked even more like Minato.

However, his eyes still had vertical pupils instead of crosses, but the natural energy that was almost hidden in this state in the past was now being slowly drawn in.

Naruto quickly closed his eyes and carefully experienced the process.

"If this is all you can do with those eyes, then Itachi Uchiha made a mistake. He should have just taken your eyes away instead of pinning his hopes on you."

I truly feel sorry for him. All those years of scheming were just to prove that his younger brother is a good-for-nothing.

From another direction, Tobirama Senju withdrew his gaze and looked at Sasuke, who was covering his eyes with his hands in front of him. He spoke mercilessly, and Sasuke, panting heavily, gritted his teeth upon hearing this.

After a while, he wiped away the blood and tears that had streamed down his face from overusing his Kaleidoscope powers and said, "Continue!"

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood for playing house with you anymore."

Tobirama Senju turned around and walked towards Konoha without looking back. Sasuke, however, panicked, glaring at him and roaring, "I said! Continue!"

"Amaterasu!"

Black flames suddenly erupted, but they did not attach to anything. Sasuke even reached out and grabbed the Amaterasu Fire, which was said to be inextinguishable and capable of burning anything.

"Fire Release: Kagutsuchi!"

The fire of Amaterasu was reshaped in Sasuke's hands, transforming into a longbow and an arrow. He drew the bow and aimed directly at Tobirama Senju's back.

With his back to Sasuke, Tobirama Senju showed no fear whatsoever, and even revealed a slight smile.

His talent is good, but his personality is still terrible. Since this Uchiha brat is so interested, let's give him a good beating!
