I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 754 Failure is indeed the mother of success, but success cannot be achieved simply by gathering a group of losers.

"Why do I feel like a villain? After all, making the enemy stronger in the heat of battle—isn't that a talent only major villains possess?"

Tatsuma scratched his sideburn. He couldn't call himself a great person, but he didn't deserve to be reduced to the level of a villain, did he?

"Hmm"

Obito gritted his teeth, blood gushing from his left eye. His skin, which had turned pale from blood loss, returned to its rosy hue. He pulled out the kunai from his chest and almost collapsed.

He was kneeling on the ground, one hand pressing against his chest, the other hand waving involuntarily due to the intense pain in his body.

"Lin"

As if in a daze, Obito murmured to himself, but his hands gradually became steady. However, his once jet-black hair had become dry and grayish-white, and the wounds on his scalp had completely scabbed over.

He stood up, the wound on his chest seemingly healed, faced Tatsuma, opened his eyes, and his Rinnegan seemed to regain its vitality, turning and then focusing on Tatsuma.

"I originally just wanted to keep you here so you couldn't participate in the battle, but now I'm going to kill you!"

Obito's eyes widened, and blood gushed out again, covering half of his face. He formed hand seals, and his chakra seemed to break through the barrier of the limited Tsukuyomi world, connecting the inside and outside.

"This was originally intended for the battlefield, but since you insist on going this far..."

"Summoning Jutsu! Impure World Reincarnation!"

"Rumble rumble rumble~"

One after another, coffins rose from the ground. Chenma glanced at them and saw six in total. Instantly, Chenma guessed who would be inside the coffins.

These must be the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki who were prepared in advance.

"Bang~ Bang~"

The coffins opened, and the lids fell to the ground, raising dust and smoke. A terrifying aura of chakra emanated from within the coffins.

Inside the coffin, mechanical figures emerged one by one; some were familiar to Chen Ma, while others were completely unfamiliar.

Among the familiar ones are Rōshi, Han, and Yagura. As for those who are not familiar, Tatsuma can probably guess their identities, such as the Two-Tails Jinchūriki Nii Yugito, the Six-Tails Jinchūriki Utakata, and the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki Fu.

Combining his memories, Chenma quickly identified the person based on the characteristics.

The six Jinchuriki opened their eyes, and their eyes were almost identical to Obito's: one Mangekyou Sharingan and one Rinnegan.

However, Tatsuma knew this was fake; the eyes of the Jinchuriki in the Edo Tensei body were merely projections of Obito's eyes, the controller.

They may possess some of the abilities, but they didn't create so many eyes out of thin air; they were simply sharing Obito's ocular power.

Without a word of command, the six Jinchūriki, now agile again, instantly distributed themselves around Tatsuma, surrounding him completely.

"Waaaaah~"

"Bang bang bang~"

Suddenly, steam surged from Han's body like a train, rushing towards Chenma. Chenma neither dodged nor avoided it, and a smile appeared on his face. Steam also surged from his mouth and nose with each breath.

Unparalleled Strength

"Strange power!"

With his two talents combined with Sage Mode, plus his ridiculously strong physique and strength, Tatsuma threw a punch at the charging man without thinking of a clever countermeasure.

Because he is surrounded by seven Rinnegan, Tatsuma's exquisite taijutsu will be completely exposed and penetrated, losing its finesse. Therefore, it is better to simply and directly release his power.

"boom!"

Han's lower body couldn't stop its momentum and ran past Chenma, while his upper body was gone.

Although the reanimated body was amazing, it was also fragile. When Tatsuma punched it with all his might, it turned into dust. The reanimated earth drifted down in the air, and Obito's face turned ugly.

Among the reanimated jinchūriki he controlled, the strongest was Han, who borrowed the power of the Five-Tails' Boil Release. It can be said that Han was among the most powerful people in the entire history of the ninja world.

Although his power was somewhat weakened in the Edo Tensei state, he didn't even have the strength to contend with Tatsuma for a moment.

However, the wonder of the reanimated body lies in its "infinity"—infinite chakra, infinite self-healing, and so on.

After running a distance, Han's upper body had grown back, but Obito did not arrange for him to charge at Tatsuma again, because it would be useless.

In the blink of an eye, he seemed to give some kind of order, and instantly all six Jinchūriki rushed towards Tatsuma. The two Yugito formed hand seals, their bodies covered in eerie blue flames, and one of them scratched at Tatsuma's neck with a claw.

"Cat paws!"

Yagura, his body also covered in dark red chakra, slapped Tatsuma on the shoulder.

"Coral Palm!"

"Lava Release Chakra Mode!"

Old Zi, meanwhile, was enveloped in molten lava as he unleashed a powerful punch.

Steam surged from Han's body once more, and every step he took felt like an earthquake, a simple and brutal collision.

"Boil Release! Unparalleled Strength!"

Yu Gao then took out a straw and gently blew on it, just like a child playing with soapy water, and bubbles slowly floated away.

"Water Release: Bubble Technique!"

"Secret Technique! The Scale Concealment Technique!"

Fu sprouted wings from her back and slowly took flight. She opened her mouth and spat out golden scales, which seemed to envelop Chenma as she fell.

All six attacks were launched in an instant. Tatsuma's eyes darted back and forth before he looked at Obito with disappointment.

"Boom boom boom~"

A series of loud explosions rang out, and figures flew backward from the smoke and dust. Some were burned by flames, some were scalded by Lava Release, and some were burned by Boiling Release, but Tatsuma was nowhere to be seen.

Tatsuma's figure had already appeared in the distance, and he said, "Attack simultaneously, it seems that the damage can be applied to the enemy at the same time, but this kind of attack without any sense of hierarchy can be dealt with as long as you dodge it once."

If an attack is launched simultaneously, dodging just one of them is equivalent to dodging all of them, which is incredibly easy for a Flying Thunder God Ninja.

Not to mention the current Tatsuma, even more than ten years ago, when he had just learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could easily dodge it.

Obito's face was extremely ugly; this kind of lecturing criticism was the most unacceptable thing for him at the moment.

Why should Sakamoto Tatsuma be allowed to do this?!

What right does this most despicable person in the ninja world have to lecture others?!

"But you did one thing right: you didn't dare to grant these Jinchūriki their true Tailed Beast powers. I suppose Nagato's experience taught you a lesson?"

Tatsuma was really looking forward to it, but unfortunately Obito didn't let the Gedo Mazo absorb the power of the tailed beasts and re-grant these reanimated Jinchuriki.

This would undoubtedly greatly weaken the strength of these Jinchūriki, but it would also prevent them from being absorbed by Tatsuma, thus losing the hard-won results.

Obito did think so too. After all, if Nagato had been more stubborn that time, Tatsuma might have devoured the entire Gedo Mazo, and then there would have been no Eye of the Moon Plan.

So this time, he was determined not to summon the heretical demon statue. With the current setup, he would fight if he could, and if he couldn't, he would simply die.

After all, what's the difference between living in this hellish ninja world and being dead? If he can't let Rin live in that ideal world, then there's no point in living.

"Enough with the nonsense!"

Obito shouted defiantly at Tatsuma. Of course, despite his defiant words, he did not deactivate his Kamui Hollowfication state. After all, there is a fundamental difference between being unafraid of death and courting death.

Tatsuma seemed amused, shook his head slightly, and said, "You still don't seem to understand why I have the chakra of nine tailed beasts, right? Because... I defeated the tailed beasts and stole them."

Instantly, the atmosphere on the entire battlefield seemed to become tense. Tatsuma glanced at the six tailed beast jinchūriki and said, "Half of them are my defeated opponents."

Failure is indeed the mother of success, but success cannot be achieved by simply gathering a group of losers. The prerequisite for redemption is to recognize one's shame and then strive to improve; the key has always been progress, not failure.

Clearly, you bunch of losers haven't improved; in fact, you've regressed quite a bit.

Tatsuma clasped his hands together and said finally, "I'll reluctantly show you all what I'm capable of, so you can know how much you need to improve before you have a chance to redeem yourselves."

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