I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 790 When the main questline keeps changing, people usually ignore the side quests.

"What astonishing chakra! Is this some kind of plan to wipe us all out in one fell swoop?"

Looking up at the Tailed Beast Balls, each one comparable in size to a mountain, Hashirama Senju felt a pang of jealousy. Under such overwhelming attacks, how many could possibly survive?

Chenma stared at the Tailed Beast Balls in silence.

To outsiders, the nine tailed beasts seem incredibly powerful, but compared to the ten-tailed beast, they are merely a ball of fire when gathered together, and a pile of sand when scattered.

The power of the Ten-Tails cannot be calculated by simply adding the nine tailed beasts together.

Putting everything else aside, any one of these Tailed Beast Balls could bind all nine Tailed Beasts together and blast them to death several times over.

Judging from Obito's condition, this was just an attack that didn't require much effort.

Minato returned from who-knows-where, but his right arm had disappeared, and the severed area was covered with special chakra, preventing cell regeneration.

Tobirama instantly appeared beside Minato and asked, "Did you use the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer these Tailed Beast Balls?"

Minato was utterly shocked, and shook his head, saying, "The space-time tunnel torn open by the Flying Thunder God Technique simply cannot accommodate this level of chakra."

Hearing that Minato couldn't do it either, Tobirama frowned even more. He knew he couldn't do it, but he thought that Minato and Tatsuma's Sage Mode might be able to elevate the Flying Thunder God Technique, but now it seemed that wouldn't work.

At this moment, the size of those Tailed Beast Balls stopped growing, but the chakra they emitted became increasingly frenzied and chaotic. Many people understood that this change was a sign that the Tailed Beast Balls were about to explode.

Tatsuma also descended from the height and came to Minato's side. Naruto, Sasuke, Hashirama, Kabuto, and others also gathered around. Hiruzen Sarutobi, with a distressed expression, ran over from afar, seemingly still muttering what to do.

But when they arrived, Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth and resolutely said, "Minato, Tatsuma, and Sensei, take the First Hokage, Naruto, and Sasuke away. Only you have a chance to defeat Obito."

As Tobirama Senju's student, Hiruzen Sarutobi, although he did not learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, still had a considerable understanding of it. For example, one of the drawbacks of the Flying Thunder God Technique is that it cannot carry a large amount of supplies or personnel during space-time transfer.

"We can go together. I've already used chakra to connect everyone in the Allied Shinobi Forces."

After Tatsuma finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback, then asked, "What do you mean?"

"I have already connected you with chakra. The difference in chakra consumption between transferring one person and transferring all of you is not significant."

Tatsuma explained, and Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tobirama Senju with some disbelief. Tobirama Senju shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"It is indeed possible. That's what I was thinking too. I didn't expect you to have prepared in advance, Tatsuma."

Minato then spoke up, acknowledging the feasibility of the method. Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief, but the heroic spirit he had shown in the face of impending death vanished.

"Then what are we waiting for!"

He urged, "Let's move out as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if we don't lose too many ninjas, the pressure of our strength will cause many to lose their fighting spirit, which will be detrimental to morale."

"Morale? That's no longer needed. This is no longer a war that the Allied Forces can participate in."

Tatsuma said nonchalantly, "From the moment Obito became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, the advantage of numbers has become a joke. Of course, to defeat Obito, you still need to win with more people."

But the "many" here has nothing to do with the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Tatsuma formed opposing hand seals, communicating with the Allied Shinobi Forces' chakra, while simultaneously arranging formations in his mind—not for continued attack, but for suicide.

He still hasn't forgotten about weakening other ninja villages, so the chances of the Allied Shinobi Forces being able to participate in the war are extremely slim.

If the Allied Shinobi Forces were simply sent away from the battlefield, then even if they were ultimately victorious, Konoha's advantage would not have met Tatsuma's expectations.

Of course, these thoughts could not be spoken aloud, even though the people around him were high-ranking officials of Konoha, or people who were extremely fanatical and loyal to Konoha.

In the past, when the forces were evenly matched, or even when the Allied Shinobi Forces had the advantage, this might have been acceptable or even recognized, but now...

With a formidable enemy at hand, the outcome uncertain, and the situation extremely unfavorable, doing something like this would likely be met with strong opposition from Minato, Hashirama, and others. Therefore, it's best to plan and act on your own.

At this moment, the Tailed Beast Ball had begun to expand and deform, and it looked like it was about to explode. In his mind, Tatsuma had also devised a formation that was almost usable.

Seeing the despair on the faces of the Allied Shinobi Forces, Tatsuma knew it was about time.

"Flying Thunder God!"

All members of the Allied Shinobi Forces, covered in chakra cloaks, now had their chakra cloaks extend, connecting them to one another.

"Boom! Rumble rumble~"

As the Tailed Beast Ball erupted, everyone felt dizzy as flames rushed towards them. When they regained their senses, they had already escaped the barrier space that Obito had sealed off.

Seeing the explosion within the barrier, almost everyone showed expressions of relief, even the Five Kage.

None of them noticed that their positions were now somewhat strange, with ninjas from the other four villages and samurai from the Land of Iron standing together, their previous formation completely disrupted.

Most of the Konoha ninjas were located far from the barrier, separated by ninjas from other villages and samurai from the Land of Iron.

Aside from Tatsuma, the first person to notice this was Tobirama Senju. As a ninja who had been fighting in the ninja world since the Warring States period, he instinctively observed his surroundings upon arriving at a new place.

Everything that came into view was instantly transformed into various pieces of information and analyzed by his brain. He glanced at Chenma, his expression unchanged, but he nodded slightly.

For Tobirama, his position was highly aligned with Tatsuma's: defeating Obito was essential, and the pre-battle plan to weaken other ninja villages could not be interrupted.

"Did you steal my chakra and run away like a rat?"

As the barrier dissipated, a shockwave shook the heavens and earth, and countless members of the allied forces fell to the ground. The immense impact eroded their chakra cloaks, and the ninjas closest to the barrier had their chakra cloaks completely stripped away before being killed.

"In that case, let's return the stolen chakra first!"

Amidst the thick smoke, Obito's figure slowly emerged. He clasped his hands together, and something seemed to escape from his eyes—an enormous eyeball, followed by his head and body.

"The Ten-Tails?!"

As the monster landed, everyone was puzzled, but then Tatsuma said, "That's not the Ten-Tails' true form, but just a medium for some kind of technique."

This time, the Ten-Tails, upon landing, changed form again, but instead of transforming into another monster, it became a large tree.

"Rumble rumble rumble~"

The tree took root, its roots spreading endlessly. The chakra cloaks on the bodies of the ninjas caught in the tangle were instantly absorbed, turning into nutrients for the tree and making it grow stronger.

The flower bud at the top slowly bloomed, but suddenly stopped. Obito frowned and looked in the direction of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"Is it because the power of the Tailed Beasts was plundered, resulting in insufficient nourishment? Or is it that the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails chakra plundered from Sakamoto Tatsuma is still insufficient?"

Thinking this, his gaze fell on Naruto. Naruto seemed to sense the boundless malice, gritted his teeth, and looked up at the ninjas who were weakened and even dying because their chakra had been drained. He looked up at Obito and said:

"Whatever you're trying to do, that's enough. I'll stop you myself!"

"You want to lecture me too? How naive and stubborn. I probably can't stop you, but you can sacrifice your life. If my plan succeeds, the rest of us might survive."

"Dream on!"

Naruto roared, and his golden aura intensified, instantly transforming him into a golden nine-tailed fox.

"You are no match for him!"

Just then, Sasuke suddenly stopped Naruto. Naruto looked at Sasuke in disbelief and questioned, "What do you mean?! There are so many people here!"

"I mean, I'm with you."

Sasuke leaped high into the air and arrived beside Naruto. His eternal Mangekyou Sharingan spun, and purple chakra surged out, covering the Nine-Tails. At the same time, the black cursed seal gradually spread out.

"Did you see what the Fourth Hokage just did?"

"You mean..."

"Armor! Susanoo!"

Seeing the two spirited young men charging towards Obito, Hashirama Senju patted Tatsuma beside him and said, "Fourth Hokage, let's join forces and give it our all, regardless of victory or defeat."

"The Susanoo-clad Buddha? Sure."
