I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 787 Sometimes, opportunities for improvement are right in front of us, but we give them up for various reasons.

Upon hearing that Tatsuma knew Obito's weakness, everyone turned their attention to him, even forgetting Tatsuma's earlier claim that he had met the Sage of Six Paths.

After all, the legendary Sage of Six Paths certainly arouses a strong desire to explore, but ultimately, whether or not one understands the Sage of Six Paths will not have any impact on them.

But Obito is different. If they cannot defeat Obito, they will really die, and those who are resurrected will die again.

Therefore, knowing Obito's weakness is far more important than understanding the Sage of Six Paths, who exists in ancient mythology.

Tatsuma didn't keep him in suspense. Instead, he warily watched Obito, ready to move everyone away at any moment, and said, "Sage Art!"

"Celestial magic?!"

Tobirama Senju frowned. If it was Sage Mode, he probably wouldn't be of much help, since he really wasn't good at it and hadn't even mastered it.

Because he doesn't need to risk training in Sage Mode, his strength lies not only in his personal power, but also in his strategy, tactics, and on-the-spot command.

As for his personal strength, before Hashirama Senju passed away, he could hand over this part of the work to his older brother.

As for Hashirama Senju after his death, he could no longer irresponsibly train in Sage Mode.

After all, the only immortal techniques he could access were those passed down from the immortals of the Wet Bone Forest, and practicing those techniques could easily lead to dehydration and death.

Although he possesses extraordinary talent, few can rival him in his understanding and development of techniques, as well as his use of chakra. It seems that his success rate in cultivating Sage Mode is not low.

But Tobirama Senju couldn't afford to gamble at that time. With Hashirama Senju dead, the four great ninja villages were eyeing Konoha with hostility. He was shouldering the entire burden of Konoha, and if anything happened to him, the village would definitely be in big trouble.

His death proved this point. After his death, Konoha, which was originally the best in the ninja world, was quickly leveled off by other villages, and was eventually overtaken.

Tobirama Senju was somewhat frustrated, as the Hokage, he was unable to provide sufficient assistance at this critical moment.

But Hashirama Senju and Naruto were now excited, especially Naruto, who grinned widely, his back teeth barely visible. He clenched his fist, glanced at Sasuke who was also frowning, and said:

"It seems the burden of defeating Obito, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, rests solely with me!"

Naruto didn't even dare to imagine how many people would recognize him after defeating the powerful Obito. Perhaps his reputation would be no less than that of the previous Hokage?

"That's ambitious! Hahaha~"

Hashirama Senju laughed, looking at Naruto and saying, "I see a reflection of my younger self in you. Back then, I was invincible. I hope you will be just as invincible!"

"Of course!"

Naruto replied confidently, rubbing his hands together as if he was eager to fight Obito for three hundred rounds.

Minato sighed helplessly, but didn't say anything. After all, it was his own child; how could he not acknowledge him?

"Sasuke! This time, you just sit back and watch me defeat the enemy!"

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden aura that had been extinguished on Naruto's body erupted again, covering his entire body, and his pupils turned into a cross shape, his face full of confidence.

Sasuke's face darkened, but then he seemed to remember something and reached for the back of his neck.

"Hiss~"

A black curse mark suddenly appeared on Sasuke's body and continued to spread, and he seemed to be suffering some kind of pain. The others looked at him in confusion.

Sasuke clenched his fist and said, "Sage Mode, is this kind of power?"

Sensing the chakra emanating from Sasuke—different from that of Mount Myōboku, yet still possessing a strong aura of natural energy—Naruto's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he demanded, "Sage Chakra?! Why do you have it too?"

"You mean this? Orochimaru insisted on giving it to me back then, saying that it could grant me power and save my life if necessary. Now it seems that I don't need to save my life, but this power still feels pretty good."

Once Sasuke confirmed that the energy within him was the legendary Sage Chakra, his face, which had been slightly contorted with pain, instantly became calm and composed.

He waved his hand dismissively, as if it were all insignificant, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile. Sure enough, seeing this loser's expression was just too amusing.

"Judging from the current situation, it seems that we have the strength to fight back. Me, Tatsuma, the First Hokage, and these two children, there are five people here who can inflict trauma on Obito."

"If Jiraiya-sensei also came, perhaps we'd have a better chance of winning."

Minato's face showed a hint of confidence, but Tatsuma shook his head and said, "Jiraiya-sensei can't come. He can't keep up with the speed. Besides, Orochimaru-sama needs him too."

Neither of them came to the battlefield, but stayed in the village to prevent a White Zetsu attack on Konoha, since there was plenty of "material" in Konoha.

For example, the Sharingan eyes that were peeled off Danzo's arm could be used as materials, and the cemetery could probably provide plenty of materials as well. In addition, Orochimaru was too lazy to participate in the battle, so he left the village to guard it.

Jiraiya stayed behind to accompany him. Of course, there was another reason: some people in the village still didn't trust Orochimaru, so a powerful force was needed to keep him in check.

"Looks like I arrived just in time."

Suddenly, a sarcastic voice rang out. Sasuke frowned and asked, "Orochimaru?!"

Turning his head, he saw that it wasn't Orochimaru, but the aura and presence were very similar. Tatsuma glanced at him and said, "Yakushi Kabuto?"

"My lords."

Kabuto Yakushi bowed respectfully to the Hokage. Tatsuma nodded and said, "In that case, we have two successors from each of the three sacred lands: Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest."

Minato and his son were descendants of Mount Myōboku, Tatsuma and Hashirama Senju were descendants of Shikkotsu Forest, Kabuto Yakushi was a descendant of Ryūchi Cave, and Sasuke... well, he could be considered one too.

"Fourth Hokage, my kaleidoscope can be used one more time, but the effect may not be as good as before."

Another figure landed. Sasuke saw the newcomer, his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan spinning rapidly in his eyes, and demanded, "Itachi?! How are you still alive?!"

"My foolish brother, did you really think you had enough talent to defeat me back then?"

Concealing the fleeting relief in his eyes, he spoke again in a sarcastic tone. Sasuke was about to say something when Tatsuma interrupted, saying, "Watch out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure attacked. Chenma clasped his hands together and opened his mouth to spew out a stream of water.

"Sage Art! Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

The high-pressure water line cut through Obito's body, but he ignored it. The water line passed right through Obito's body, and he frowned. He instantly broke free and landed some distance away. There was a cut on his shoulder, but it healed quickly.

"It really works!"

Seeing that the Sage Technique was truly effective, the group that possessed it all sprang into action. Minato formed a dumpling, assuming an attack stance, but his brow furrowed as he said:

"The Flying Thunder God Technique seal on Obito has disappeared."

"Then let's hit another one."

Tatsuma said nonchalantly, already knowing this would happen, so he didn't hesitate much and activated the Body Flicker Technique, attacking Obito.

Seeing Tatsuma use taijutsu to attack, Obito's eyes flashed with disdain. He did not stop him, but simply raised his hand, and the Truth-Seeking Ball transformed into a long cone, directly attacking Tatsuma.

As Chenma watched the Truth-Seeking Ball getting closer and closer, his expression darkened slightly. If he were to be touched by the Truth-Seeking Ball, he didn't know if he could heal himself.

"Sage Art! Ryuo!"
