I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 81 Overcoming oneself is also admitting one's defeat.

"Splash~"

At midnight, inside the medical camp, Tatsuma leaned on the washbasin, his face covered in water droplets. Water was constantly flowing from the tower's reservoir, but Tatsuma paid no attention to it.

Chenma dared not sleep. Whenever he felt even slightly sleepy, he would recall the scene from yesterday and the fact that he had led six people to their deaths.

In the distance, Tsunade wasn't asleep either. Under the cover of night, she watched her "cowardly" disciple. She didn't know why Tatsuma was reacting so strongly. After all, wasn't this the life of a ninja?

But for some reason, Tsunade couldn't feel disappointed in this disciple. Perhaps it was because she was a medical ninja, and medical ninjas are supposed to cherish and save lives.

As the water flow gradually decreased, Chenma felt a bit sleepy again. He quickly filled a handful of water, splashed it on his face, then turned off the tap and rubbed his face with his hands in an unrhythmic manner.

Including yesterday, he hadn't slept for two days. Coupled with the non-stop travel back and forth, his body was extremely exhausted. He should have gotten some sleep, but he had to admit that he was a little scared.

"Snap!"

Feeling increasingly upset, Tatsuma swung his fist and punched the sink, splashing water all over him, but preventing him from making any bigger noise.

Seeing this, Tsunade still chose to step out of the darkness and said, "It's already past midnight, don't disturb the patient's rest."

"I'm sorry, teacher."

Upon seeing Tsunade, Tatsuma hastily wiped his face with his sleeve. Tsunade looked at him and said, "You can't adapt to life here. Go back to the village with the wounded."

From now on, focus on being a medical ninja. If you don't want to, then join the Sealing Team; your talents will be put to good use there.

"I won't go back."

Tatsuma shook his head, and Tsunade scoffed, saying, "Why should you stay here? So you can keep looking so miserable and affect everyone else's mood?"

Everyone here must fight for victory; we don't need a coward like you who can't even shake off the guilt of killing.

"I will get rid of it."

"When? When you start spreading your negativity to the whole camp? I don't have that much time to wait for a coward like you to grow bolder."

Tsunade's tone remained harsh. Tatsuma took a deep breath, raised his head, and said, "I'm not a coward. I just... couldn't condone this behavior before."

"Then hurry up and overcome yourself."

"hehe."

Tatsuma shook his head and continued, "It's not easy to defeat someone as outstanding as me, but I think I'll be able to overcome it soon."

How fast?

"Now."

Tatsuma looked at Tsunade and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I have already overcome myself. Please take me with you in the next battle."

"it is good."

Tsunade nodded decisively, which surprised Tatsuma, who asked doubtfully, "Aren't you afraid I'm lying to you?"

"If you dare to lie to me, you might as well die!"

After saying that, Tsunade turned to leave, but as she turned back, she said, "Go to sleep quickly. I don't have that much time to wait for you. The front lines still need me."

"I will."

Watching Tsunade's retreating figure, Tatsuma said firmly.

"Ding~ Praise and conquer yourself to obtain the limited talent [White Yaksha +100%], obtain?"

The sudden system announcement stunned Chenma. After a while, he brought up the system panel to check the description of this special talent.

"White Yaksha: A special physique-type talent that grants multiple layers of effect buffs."

【Awakening from Low Health】: When damaged, awaken the fighting spirit, greatly increasing survivability and reducing the impact of damage during battle by 50%, which will be activated after the battle ends.

【Training Through Combat】: After activating the low-health awakening state, you can gain faster experience growth and talent realization through combat, ignoring the cycle growth limit during combat.

【Death Resistance】: After escaping combat while near death, this greatly reduces the effects of fatal injuries and illnesses. If you fall into rivers, seas, or other bodies of water, this effect is significantly enhanced.

【Graveyard Soul】: On the battlefield, as the number of friendly casualties increases, temporarily improves all physical attributes, up to a maximum of 100%. If only the user remains, an additional 100% improvement is granted to all physical attributes.

Limited talent is not a limited edition of special talent. Chenma looked at it several times before he dared to believe that he was not seeing things. This was the first time he had ever seen such a talent.

As for the talent effect, it's hard to describe. At the start of the game, he sacrifices his own health, and in the end, he sacrifices the lives of his teammates. In short, he can't play unless he's low on health, and he sacrifices himself and his teammates to the heavens, possessing boundless power.

Actually, Tatsuma didn't like the other effects very much. His favorite effect was "Training Through Battle," since his talent ceiling was only at the Chunin level, and he could only realize 2-3 talent points every day.

This method of training through combat allows him to unleash his talents to their full potential during battles. In other words, as long as he can withstand the pressure, he can maximize all of his talents.

However, this effect requires activating [Residual Health Awakening], meaning he must first be injured. Even if the damage is reduced by 50%, it will still affect him.

And this ability to unleash a powerful ultimate skill when low on health, survive in water, and the cursed lone star setting—isn't this a veiled insult to Yin?

But Tatsuma's body ultimately spoke the truth: "Pick it up!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Tatsuma felt as if his body was exploding from the inside out, first his left shoulder, then his left shoulder, and then his left shoulder again.

Tatsuma felt like his left shoulder was about to rot away. The explosive pain spread throughout his body, and the pain that he could previously resist completely overwhelmed him.

His body slumped straight down beside the sink, and he fell into a deep coma.

"I told you to go to sleep, not to lie down right there, did I?"

After an unknown amount of time, Tatsuma groggily woke up, seemingly awakened.

He struggled to open his eyes and saw Tsunade looking down at him with a mocking smile. Tatsuma quickly scrambled to his feet and asked, "Are we leaving?"

He looked at the sky and realized it was only early morning, but he didn't feel too tired. In just a few hours, he had already shaken off the fatigue of the past two days.

"After you've washed up, pack your bags and you're ready to go."

Looking at Tatsuma, who seemed slightly different from yesterday, Tsunade still instructed him, "By the way, starting today, our relationship with Sunagakure will not be a battle, but a war."

"Has the Hokage officially declared war?"

"Yes, since Sunagakure dares to break the rules, we must retaliate."
