I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 793 Willpower is the most solid weapon; it is the last resort for remaining invincible.

"Why are Dad and Uncle Tatsuma so much stronger when they all have Susanoo and Nine-Tails?!"

Naruto used the combined technique of Susanoo again, and only then did he realize the difference between himself and Sasuke, and between Tatsuma and Minato.

It wasn't just the difference in the black ninja sword; the difference in power also seemed significant.

Unaware that his "teacher" was helping him find a wife behind him, Sasuke said matter-of-factly, "Of course it's because you're not as good as the Fourth Hokage."

His mastery and development of the Nine-Tails' power is clearly far superior to yours, you loser!

"So you think you're on par with Uncle Tatsuma? Why can't your Susanoo create a weapon like that?"

Naruto countered that both of them knew they had missed the point; the biggest difference between their armored Nine-Tails and those of Tatsuma and Minato lay in their absolute power.

"That guy, Sakamoto Tatsuma, his strength has been steadily increasing since the start of the war!"

At this moment, Naruto heard the words of Kurama inside him and asked in confusion, "But... since the start of the war, hasn't Uncle Tatsuma been constantly consuming chakra? Why is he getting stronger and stronger?"

"Nine Lama, is this some kind of excuse you're using?"

"How would I know?! In any case, that guy is getting stronger and stronger as the war escalates. I suspect that if the war gets so intense that he's the only one left on our side, his strength will probably double."

Nine-Tailed Fox said with dissatisfaction, it didn't know what was going on with Tatsuma's situation. It was true that some people became more and more courageous on the battlefield, but that was the effect of combat state.

As the battle progresses, they unleash their power and chakra to their fullest potential, even pushing their bodies to the limit to unleash even greater combat strength.

But Sakamoto Tatsuma is different; he is genuinely getting stronger. As the war escalates, his strength also increases accordingly.

Moreover, even if the war situation remained unchanged, that guy was getting stronger at a subtle but visible rate.

It seems that he still has endless potential that has not yet been discovered, and with the tempering of war, he is constantly realizing his talent.

But how can there be such a person in the world?! It's undeniable that some people can improve on the battlefield, but that's a step forward after accumulating to a certain level at a certain stage.

More often than not, it's all thanks to the accumulation of training over time, even for that silly boy Naruto.

Since the start of the war, Naruto's combat power has been rising steadily, but not through constant improvement on the spot. Instead, it's through the continuous realization of what he has accumulated through training over the past few years.

At the same time, his own self-affirmation allowed Naruto to unleash his full fighting potential.

And the truth is that Kurama's prediction was partly correct. Tatsuma has indeed been getting stronger. From the beginning of the war until now, except for a slight gap in his combat power due to the exhaustion of chakra, his combat power has been increasing.

It was during this war that Tatsuma truly understood just how powerful the [White Demon] physique talent he had acquired more than a decade ago really was.

His combat power increases from two parts. One is the "Graveyard Souls," which temporarily increases his physical attributes as his own casualties increase on the battlefield.

The Allied Shinobi Forces have been suffering casualties, a significant portion of which were orchestrated by Tatsuma. Currently, the Allied Shinobi Forces are less than 60% of their pre-war strength, which has given Tatsuma a temporary increase in strength of nearly half.

Another one is "Training Through Battle," which activates the "Revive Low Health" state and allows for faster experience growth and talent realization through combat, ignoring the cycle growth cap during battle.

To put it simply, after being injured, Tatsuma can quickly realize his talent in battle.

Tatsuma's talent, accumulated over twenty years, has reached a rather astonishing level; he has only realized less than half of it.

After all, even if he immersed himself in cultivation every day under normal circumstances, the talent he could realize was limited, and after becoming Hokage, his cultivation time was compressed considerably.

Under these circumstances, the less than half of his talent that he realized allowed him to accumulate his eight basic attributes to a level comparable to or even slightly surpassing that of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha at their peak.

Tatsuma's strength remained stuck in this range for quite some time because, in another ninja world, there was no sufficiently large battlefield or a sufficiently powerful enemy to allow Tatsuma to fully utilize his [White Yaksha] physique talent.

After all, it takes a considerable amount of time for quantitative accumulation to drive qualitative change, so Tatsuma chose the Tailed Beasts as his ladder of progress in his own ninja world.

But now, Obito, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, has become his best whetstone. After each round of attack and defense, Tatsuma can see the numbers on his data talent panel jumping up and down.

This feeling is so wonderful!

"Bang!"

The Nine-Tails in its armor crashed down from the height, its Susanoo armor mostly worn away, but Tatsuma seemed to have endless chakra, repairing the Nine-Tails in its armor.

Minato glanced at Tatsuma and asked, "Can you still sustain this level of energy consumption?"

Minato also vaguely sensed it, after all, the body he was using now, like Tatsuma's current body, was created by Tatsuma.

He even has half of the Nine-Tails inside him, so theoretically his chakra should far surpass Tatsuma's, at least half of the Nine-Tails'.

But the truth is that he and the Nine-Tails within him are now beginning to feel tired, while Tatsuma is still full of energy.

Although Tatsuma replenished his chakra using the Ten-Tails' split form and also absorbed a wave of Ten-Tails' chakra from Obito's body, the difference was still too great.

Furthermore, due to the connection of chakra, both Minato and Kurama were able to sense that the power they could unleash was becoming stronger and stronger. This illogical situation was something even Minato couldn't quite understand.

He could only express his condition through hints. He seemed to be asking if Tatsuma could still withstand such chakra consumption, but he was actually expressing that he couldn't hold on any longer.

If the listener were Naruto, he would simply pat his chest and say he could take on ten more.

But Tatsuma understood, and he nodded, saying, "My chakra is still plentiful. Leave the chakra output to me from now on. You just need to focus on controlling the Nine-Tails in its armor."

Anyway, Tatsuma also has the power of the tailed beast within him, and he can convert the energy in his body into the Nine-Tails' chakra at any time to replenish Minato and the Nine-Tails' consumption.

Minato nodded, stopped the chakra output between himself and Kurama, took a deep breath, and leaped up again in his imposing Kurama form, swinging his ninja sword towards Obito.

"Squeak squeak squeak~"

The ninja sword collided with the Truth-Seeking Ball, but was not destroyed by it. In terms of strength alone, the Yin-Yang Release ninja sword in the hands of the Nine-Tails in its armor is no weaker than Obito's Truth-Seeking Ball.

This is also why the two of them, wielding the Nine-Tails, were able to hold their own against Obito. However, this kind of stalemate is not what the Allied Shinobi Forces want.

We must win!

The ninja sword and the Tenma Spear clashed and struggled once more. Obito looked at Minato inside the Nine-Tails armor and said, "It's no use, teacher. As long as my will remains unshaken, my weapon will not be destroyed."

But how long can your ninja swords last?

"will?"

Minato shook his head, then looked at Obito with unwavering determination, and said, "Never underestimate a Kage's will to protect the village!"
