Naruto's civilian cannon fodder starts with the three-body technique

Chapter 137 Vacuum Jade
After Chagami Ryusuke and Kujiro arrived at the coastal fortress, the commander of the coastal defense corps, Karuo, saw the personal letter from the daimyo of the land of rivers, but instead of sending troops to support them immediately, he questioned Kujiro and Kujiro.

Karuo was appointed commander of the Anti-Naval Regiment not only because of his prestigious family background and formidable strength, but more importantly because he was always cautious in his actions.
After conducting a full-body examination of Kui Shiyu, Karuo found no trace of the control seal and thus gave up. Coupled with Chayin Ryusuke's confident words, he knew the situation was serious, so he left half of his troops to guard the fortress and prevent the Kirigakure pirates from taking advantage of the chaos.

He personally led 150 Sand Ninja to support the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Rivers.

The coastal fortress is less than a thousand miles from the daimyo's residence in the Land of Rivers. At the speed of the coastal ninja army, it would only take half a day to arrive. If they had to take care of those lower-ranking ninjas and march at full speed, it would be even faster.

However, no matter how anxious he was, the always cautious Karuo did not intend to lead a small group of elite troops to provide rapid support. Instead, he led the main force and carefully made his way to the Daimyo's residence in the land of rivers.

Karyu wanted to speed things up, so he sent out a large number of summoning falcons to scout ahead, but they were all easily dealt with by Umino Sasuke riding Big White.

The Uchiha throwing technique was indeed extremely powerful. Ever since Umino Sasuke learned this throwing technique, with the cooperation of two shadow clones, each kunai he threw was like a net with no blind spots. Its terrifying power was no less than that of a shuriken shadow clone technique, and it can be said that it killed the Sand Village's summoned hawk without leaving a single piece of armor.

The key point is that the Uchiha kunai throwing technique created by the three of them does not consume a huge amount of chakra like the shuriken shadow clone technique; it only consumes some kunai and shuriken and stamina.

As for physical strength, with the recovery from the Gluttony Technique, such simple kunai throwing is no problem for three days and three nights.

After losing his aerial reconnaissance capabilities, Karuo became even more cautious.

Based on past experience, the Konoha Hundred who fled to the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Rivers, although their combat strength was average, that white blood demon was extremely proficient in manipulating mechanisms, traps and ambushes. Elder Ebizo had twice suffered a complete annihilation because he underestimated the enemy and acted rashly. He did not want to repeat the same mistake.

"Stop! Sandfall Peak, go up there and check if there are any Konoha Hundreds lying in ambush."

Karuo stopped in front of the canyon and immediately sent his men to scout out whether there were any traps in the canyon ahead.

The canyon in front of us is several miles long and only wide enough for one carriage to pass through. The mountains on both sides are steep, making it an ideal place for an ambush. If the daimyo's mansion in Ruochuan has already been captured, the White Blood Demon will most likely set up an ambush in this canyon.

After some investigation, no ambushes or traps were found.

"It seems the Konoha Hundred Puppet Army hasn't captured the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Rivers yet. Speed ​​up the advance!"

Karyu took the lead and finally led the Sand Village ninja army into the canyon.

There were indeed no ambushes in the entire canyon, and the Sand Village ninja army passed through the canyon unimpeded.

However, after the Sand Ninja Army passed through the canyon, they were instead ambushed and blocked by the Leaf Village's 100-man squad.

"Oh no, it's an ambush!"

Karyu immediately realized something was wrong. Although the entire Sand Ninja Army had passed through the canyon, they were all compressed into the narrow part of the canyon entrance, with no room to maneuver forward. If they went back, the canyon was very long and narrow. Without air superiority, if the Sand Ninja Army escaped into the canyon and returned, they would easily be cut into pieces by the Konoha Hundred, and then defeated one by one, suffering heavy losses.

"White Blood Demon, aren't you being far too confident?"

Karuo, however, did not panic, nor did he issue a retreat order, thus revealing a weakness. Instead, he immediately constructed a defensive formation, intending to confront the hundred Konoha warriors in front of him head-on.

In Karuo's view, the Konoha Hundred were just famous; their actual combat strength was not very strong, and they were no match for them at all.

Currently, although the Sand Village Army doesn't have much room to maneuver, they have the advantage of being able to concentrate their forces for defense. The Konoha Hundred are not at any advantage. If they had given the order to retreat earlier and lost their composure, they might have actually fallen into the White Blood Demon's trap.

"White Blood Demon, your cleverness has backfired this time. Watch how I crush you."

Now, the two armies are locked in combat, and the only contest is the overall strength of their respective ninja forces. With the Konoha Hundred's subpar fighting strength, defeat is inevitable. "Don't let the White Blood Demon escape! I'll capture him and bring him before Elder Ebizo to apologize, hehehe~"

Karuo felt victory was assured. He only needed to defend for a few rounds to deplete the Konoha Hundred's chakra and weapon supplies before leading his men like wolves among sheep to crush the Konoha Hundred in front of them.

At this moment, Umino Sasuke, riding Big White, arrived directly in front of the Sand Village army and then threw a sealing scroll towards the Sand Village's position.

A puff of white smoke rose.

The sealed scroll was broken, releasing a large number of poison gas bombs.

"Oh no, it's a poison gas bomb made in our village."

Karuo's expression changed drastically; he knew all too well the power of these poison gas bombs.

These are poison gas bombs specially made by Elder Chiyo. Some time ago, he discovered that the Mist Ninja were making unusual movements, so he submitted this supply request to the village. Only then did the Elder Council agree to allocate some of these extremely precious poison gas bombs to him. Unexpectedly, these poison gas bombs ended up in the hands of the White Blood Demon, and now they are being used against the Sand Ninja.

"Empty sand defense wall!"

Karyu quickly channeled a large amount of chakra to create a massive sand wall, preventing the poison gas from the gas bomb from falling into their own territory.

"Huh? It can actually unleash ninjutsu?"

Sasuke Umino's eyes narrowed, a hint of surprise and uncertainty in them.

Karuo was immune to the shadow clone's infrasound shock and was not interrupted in releasing his ninjutsu; he was only slightly affected.

It turned out that Karuo's entire body was covered in sand and dust, which provided a natural defensive effect. The shockwave was immediately neutralized by the sand and dust defense layer as soon as it hit him.

The infrasound shock had little effect on the sand barrier released by Karoo.

Although the sand barrier released by Karuo is far inferior to Gaara's C3 art bomb that could withstand Deidara's attack, its defensive power should not be underestimated.

Although some unexpected things happened, Sasuke Umino had a backup plan.

"Spiral pills!"

The two shadow clones beside Umino Sasuke jumped off Big White, condensed Rasengan, and slammed into the sand barrier.

Now, Sasuke Umino's chakra has finally reached 0.5 chakra, and the amount of chakra in the shadow clones he releases is just enough to unleash a Rasengan.

Meanwhile, Umino Sasuke, in his true form, rapidly formed hand seals.

"Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade!"

Sasuke Umino took a deep breath and unleashed several massive wind-style light waves, bombarding the sand barrier.
