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

Chapter 149 Poison Gas Maze
"Lord Baizhan, be careful of an ambush."

Ao looked worried and quickly gave Kaguya Hyakuzan a tactical reminder.

As a legion commander, Kaguya Hyakusen was not as cautious as Karuo, but she still knew the basic principle of not entering the forest.

"Qing, I've heard you have good perception. Why don't you lead the team to scout ahead?"

"Uh?" Qing was speechless, but dared not show it. He could only reluctantly accept the situation and lead a small team to clear the way.

After some reconnaissance, Ao's team had already spread out for several miles. Kaguya Hyakuzan heard Ao's team's bird calls and felt relieved: "Ao is still too cowardly. There is no trap here. It is obvious that the Konoha Hundred are scared out of their wits and have rushed into the Misty Forest in a panic."

Kaguya Hyakuzan then sped up her pursuit and quickly caught up with the Ao team.

"Lord Baizhan, the White Blood Demon is cunning and treacherous. It's best to be careful."

"Qing, stop talking. What if the Leaf Village's hundred-man band of knights escapes? Even if there are traps, so what? At worst, we can just turn back and leave the forest."

Kaguya, after a hundred battles, waved her hand and continued to increase the speed of the pursuit.

Ambushing in the misty forest is the specialty of the Mist Ninja. Even if the Leaf Village's 100-person gang had an ambush, they would have suffered the consequences themselves, so what was there to fear?

Unbeknownst to them, the Hidden Mist Legion had pursued them for dozens of miles before finally catching up with the Leaf Village's hundred-man squad.

"Stop, there's miasma in the fog."

Kaguya Hyakuzen noticed something amiss in the fog ahead and immediately waved her hand, halting the pursuit of the Hidden Mist Legion.

Qing frowned and reminded him, "Lord Baizhan, this shouldn't be forest miasma, but rather poisonous gas released by the Konoha Hundred."

"Go, find a low-ranking ninja to test the poison."

Seeing the fear on the face of a nearby genin, Kaguya Hyakuzan casually pointed and said, "Little guy, you're the one."

"Huh?" The ninja was so frightened that his face turned pale, but he dared not disobey this order to his death.

Compared to risking one's life by walking on a minefield, the punishment for disobeying orders is obviously much harsher.

Walking on a landmine might mean certain death, but disobeying orders could lead to a fate worse than death, and could even implicate one's family.

The young ninja felt his whole body go numb as soon as he came into contact with the poison gas, and even his chakra froze, clearly indicating that he had been poisoned.

"There's a trap. Retreat."

Kaguya Hyakuzan finally realized something was wrong. Poisoning in the forest mist was extremely troublesome, so she decided to lead the Hidden Mist Legion back out of the forest the way they came.

However, before leaving, Kaguya Hyakuzan unleashed Ten-Finger Piercing Bullets, instantly killing the poisoned junior ninja. The Mist Ninja, upon seeing this, showed no surprise whatsoever.

Clearly, this junior ninja had become a burden after being poisoned, and killing such wounded soldiers to prevent information leaks was standard practice for the Mist Ninja.

Just as Kaguya Hyakuzan led the Hidden Mist Army back, Umino Sasuke's shadow clones, which had already been released, continuously unleashed a large number of Hidden Mist Techniques.

One by one, poison gas bombs and water bat venom were detonated. The mist created by the Mist Concealment Technique carried these poisons, forming isolation zones like a maze, blocking the Mist Concealment Legion's return route.

Of course, because the Kirigakure Sand Ninja forces had a very wide marching route, the traps were also set up extensively, and the amount of poison was very limited, so they could not completely seal off the Kirigakure army immediately.

However, after some planning, the gas isolation zone became narrower and narrower, and the amount of poison was barely enough.

The gaps in these isolation zones have been filled with numerous intricate traps and sniper squads from the Konoha Hundred.

Each team of Konoha's 100 is equipped with a shadow clone to conduct reconnaissance and also serve as a tactical instructor. Moreover, each of these shadow clones is equipped with two Jonin-level Sand Village standard puppets. When the shadow clones use the Red Secret Technique: Dual Machine Manipulation to control the two puppets, they already possess combat power no less than that of a Special Jonin. With the advantage of the Mist Forest, their combat power is greatly enhanced, making them in no way inferior to most Kirigakure Jonin.

With his full power, Sasuke Umino possesses 25 shadow clones. Apart from 10 more powerful mecha puppets, the remaining shadow clones are equivalent to 15 Jonin-level puppeteers, which immediately makes up for the weakness of the Konoha Hundred.

With the addition of Scorching Release user Yotaka, it's like adding wings to a tiger.

As long as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the Kirigakure commander Kaguya Hyakuba are held back, the Kirigakure army will undoubtedly be defeated in the face of numerous traps and encirclement.

"How could the Leaf Village's Hundred Puppet Masters possess so much deadly poison?"

After Kaguya Hundred Battles avoided some of the poison gas isolation zones, she discovered that the gas isolation zones were becoming increasingly dense, like a narrow maze, dividing the Mist Hidden Army into sections.

The Mist Ninja also tried to use ninjutsu to disperse the poisonous mist barrier, but they found that although the poison was greatly reduced after being dispersed, and the Mist Ninja experts could effectively resist it using chakra, the ordinary Mist Ninja were poisoned and fell to the ground one by one as they inhaled the poisonous gas.

Upon discovering this situation, the Mist Ninja Legion had no choice but to actively avoid it, and as they moved further and further along the isolation path, they eventually became completely trapped in the poisonous gas maze.

Later on, even if the Mist Ninja didn't use ninjutsu to disperse the poisonous mist, the Konoha 100 hidden in the maze would actively release Wind Release or explosive tags to make these poisonous gas isolation zones spread quickly and expand the range of poisonous gas contamination.

Because the Konoha 100 had seized a lot of antidotes left behind by the Sand Ninja Army, and with the help of the Shadow Clone Technique, they were minimally affected by the poison gas and could freely maneuver within the poison gas maze.

However, seeing that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and Kaguya Hyakuzan were so reckless, disregarding casualties, and that they would soon lead the Hidden Mist Army out of the poisonous gas maze, Umino Sasuke had no choice but to use himself as bait to change the direction of the Hidden Mist Army's advance.

"White Blood Demon, I've found you."

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist finally discovered the whereabouts of Sasuke Umino and Might Guy, and immediately gave chase.

Ao raised an objection, but was kicked away by Kaguya Hyakuzan.

"kill!"

Kaguya, having fought a hundred battles, went straight for Umino Sasuke, her fighting spirit at its peak.

"Open the Gate of Shock!"

Might Guy opened the seventh gate of the Eight Gates, blocking the path of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Two mecha puppets appeared in front of Umino Sasuke, blocking Kaguya Hyakuzan's bone spike attack.

"How did the Double-Sword Flounder end up in your hands?"

Kaguya Hyakusen drew her bone sword from her back, pointed it at Umino Sasuke, and demanded, "You killed that coward, Hozuki Ryusuke?"

"Chaos Wind Slash!"

Sasuke Umino had no obligation to answer, so he directly had the mecha puppet hold off Kaguya Hyakuzō.

Another mecha puppet held off the greatsword Samehada, Suigetsu Hozuki, while the real Umino Sasuke dealt with the Executioner's Blade, Biwa Juzo.

As for the remaining four Ninja Swordsmen, they can only be left to Might Guy.

With Might Guy's strength, dealing with four members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist would be quite easy.

Although Matt Dai has not yet developed the ultimate move "Day Tiger" from the Gate of Shock, the next level moves "Morning Peacock" and "Morning Rooster" from the Gate of View are more than enough and can be used multiple times.
