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

Chapter 140 Psychic Intelligence
"Of course, it came from Ruritama."

Sasuke Umino didn't hold back at all and blurted it out.

"Cough cough cough!" Karuo, with a hint of lucidity, continued to ask, "Did you deliberately let Chagakure Ryusuke and Kujiro escape to come and ask for help, or have they already betrayed you?"

"Chagami Ryusuke was originally a spy sent by Konoha. As for Kujiro, I deliberately let him escape and only sent Chagami Ryusuke. Given your cautious nature, you might not believe it."

"I see." At this moment, a strange smile appeared on Karuo's lips.

"Oh no!" Umino Sasuke's expression changed drastically. He quickly tried to stop Karuo's actions, but he was still a step too late.

Although Karyu was dead and had not performed any hand seals, a large number of talismans appeared in the flowing sand beneath him.

There was a soft thud.

Much of the quicksand disappeared, indicating that the information had already been transmitted.

"Hehe!" Sasuke Umino's expression changed upon seeing that the information transmission was complete, and he instead smiled.

Clearly, with the perception and insight of the sonic radar technique, he had already discovered Karuo's clandestine actions.

Before his death, Karuo tried to use a summoning technique to send out information, but this had already fallen into Umino Sasuke's trap.

"There's a lot of room for maneuver here."

Sasuke Umino stroked his chin, his thoughts wandering.

According to the intelligence compiled by Yamashiro Midori, this Karyu is Karura's father, and Karura and Ruri are the wives of two Kazekage candidates.

If it is revealed that the destruction of Karyu and the Sand Ninja Army is related to Ruri-dama, this may very well exacerbate the conflict between Sand Iron Storm and Rasa.

Sunagakure may appear very united, but in reality, its internal strife is no less intense than that of Konoha. For example, the selection of the Fourth Kazekage was fraught with undercurrents and fierce competition. If it weren't for the Third Kazekage holding things back, the conflict would have escalated to a point of no return.

Sand Iron Storm represents the interests of the Elder Council and has the support of the Sand Village Puppet Force. In addition, with the presence of two Kage-level powerhouses, Chiyo and Ebizo, he is clearly more likely to win than Rasa.

Of the five great ninja villages, only the Hidden Lightning Village became united after being tormented by the Gold and Silver Brothers. The other four villages were rife with internal strife.

This is also because when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha established Konoha, it was not through a violent revolution. So-called consensus is easy to establish, but also easy to break. Without real bloodshed, this consensus is hard to solidify.

The other four major ninja villages also reached a hasty consensus when the Land of Fire formed a group to establish Konoha Village. The combination of various ninja clans to build the village led to complex internal power struggles and constant disputes.

Raihime Village, a secluded village, has always relied on martial arts for its survival. After Kinkaku and Ginkaku, it became exceptionally united and has never produced a rogue ninja since.

When dealing with a major ninja village, political instigation can sometimes be far more terrifying than simple killing.

Umino Sasuke doesn't need to do much; he just needs to release information about Karuo and the destruction of the Sand Ninja Army, and connect it to the Ruri-dama. His political enemies will fill in the details.

Since Karura and the families of the deceased from the Sand Ninja Army were unable to deal with this White Blood Demon, they naturally turned their anger towards Ruritama.

Given that Rasa is already ambitious, he will most likely not miss this opportunity to use public opinion to attack Sa Tetsuran, a political rival who is also a candidate for Kazekage.

The struggle for power can be very bloody; it's either a fight to the death or a political compromise.

Given Sa Tetsuran's extremism and Rosa's lust for power, the possibility of a political compromise between the two is extremely small.

Sasuke Umino kept these plans in mind and waited for the matter to develop. Then, he took out a small sealing scroll and sealed Karuo's body.

This is the corpse of an elite Jonin-level ninja, who also possessed the Sand Release technique, making it extremely valuable and a rare research subject.

After sealing Karuo's body, Umino Sasuke continued to watch the battle.

Currently, under the combined attack of Hayama Shirakumo, Shun Uchiha, Raito Namiashi, and others, two Sand Ninja have already been eliminated by Hayama Shirakumo and Shun Uchiha respectively, and the remaining Sand Jonin is also in grave danger.

"Wait." Seeing that the Sand Village Jonin was determined to die and wanted to bite his teeth and take the poison to commit suicide, Umino Sasuke quickly stopped him. "Sand Village Jonin, don't rush to commit suicide. If you can defeat my three subordinates, I don't mind letting you live."

Even ants try to survive, and upon hearing this, the Sand Village Jonin finally stopped talking, but he did not let his guard down.

Now that there's a rare opportunity to test the strength of Tekudo, Koshino, and Inuzuka Ryo, Umino Sasuke naturally wouldn't miss it. In particular, Inuzuka Ryo has made tremendous progress during this time, having already mastered several powerful ninjutsu such as Fang Wolf Fang and Beast Transformation.

"Fang fang!"

Ryo Inuzuka and Akita Maru unleashed their ultimate attacks right away, forcing the Sand Village Jonin to dodge.

"Heavenly Blade Chaos!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Tekudo unleashed a sealing scroll, releasing a large number of blades that rained down on the Sand Village Jonin.

As expected of a Jonin, he moved with ease, seemingly dancing among the dense array of blades.

After the ninjutsu, the surroundings were filled with all sorts of blades.

"Dragnet!"

"rise!"

Tekudo formed a Yin seal with both hands.

Instantly, the large blades stuck in the ground sprang out a large number of steel wires, which connected with each other to form a huge blockade network.

Then, Tekudo pulled at the void, and a large number of small blades flew and spun in the formation like celestial maidens scattering flowers.

Those steel wire nets, in turn, compressed the hiding space of the Sand Village Jonin.

Just then, Xiaoxiao finished her hand seals and seized the opportunity to release her ninjutsu.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Chasing Fang!"

The C-rank Lightning Release technique released by Xiaoxiao is far more powerful than the D-rank Lightning Release: Hidden Pressure.

The Sand Village Jonin had extremely rich combat experience and used hand seals to release ninjutsu to counterattack.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

Numerous swirling waves appeared around the Sand Village Jonin, swirling up the surrounding blades and transforming them into a spinning ball blade.

The Thunder Beast's Fang struck precisely on it, actually amplifying the power of the spinning ball blade.

"Disperse!"

The rotating ball blade then reversed and disintegrated, scattering a large number of blades in all directions.

He shot towards the group of Konoha ninja around him.

Tekudo quickly formed hand seals and released a defensive ninjutsu.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

The earthen wall rose up, perfectly shielding Tekudo and Koshino behind it.

Fortunately, the earthen wall was thick enough, and with the addition of the Thunder Beast's Fang blade, it was very effective against earth-escape techniques, and the wall was almost broken through.

The surrounding Konoha ninja used various methods to cooperate in defense and withstand the attack.

The Sand Village Jonin didn't believe that the Konoha ninja would really let him go after he defeated three people, so he took the opportunity to use the Body Flicker Technique to try to break free from the encirclement.

"Wind Escape·Press!"

Umino Sasuke, however, released a Wind Release technique at just the right moment, striking the Sand Village Jonin's escape route.
