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

Chapter 155 Samehada Power Bank

"Could it be——"

Umino Sasuke shook his head, unable to be sure of his own thoughts.

Sensing that Suigetsu Hozuki and his two companions had already run far away, and that Raiga Kurosuki had long since disappeared, Umino Sasuke finally mustered his courage and grabbed the hilt of Samehada.

Just in case, he also placed four mecha puppets around him, ready to knock them down immediately if he noticed anything amiss with Samehada.

Sasuke Umino carefully transferred his chakra, and Samehada immediately became excited, clearly liking his chakra very much.

"Could it be that I practiced Tobirama Senju's forbidden Water Release technique, which changed the nature of my chakra, and that's why Samehada took a liking to me?"

Sasuke Umino's eyes lit up as his guess began to become clear. Samehada couldn't have been interested in him because of the amount of chakra he possessed; if it wasn't quantity, then it must be quality.

The difference in the quality of his chakra lies in his mastery of Tobirama Senju's forbidden Water Release technique, resulting in extremely high-quality Water Release chakra, as well as his mastery of the Breathing of the Wind technique, which allowed him to absorb a considerable amount of unknown and mysterious factors.

"No, the difference in my chakra should also include the food energy absorbed and transformed by the Gluttony Technique."

Umino Sasuke quickly swallowed several honey-infused energy blocks, activated the Gluttony Technique, and transferred the converted and absorbed food energy to Samehada in his hand.

Samehada immediately trembled all over, extremely excited, and even showed waves of extremely joyful emotions, as if saying, "So fragrant and sweet!"

Then, a series of water droplets flowed down Samehada, as if it were crying. It looked more like a summoning beast with a mind no less than that of a child than a ninja sword.

Sasuke Umino was greatly surprised. He continued to transmit food energy and sensed more emotions coming from his hands. It took him a long time to learn the information.

Originally, Samehada was a symbiotic organism of the Three-Tails, Isobu. Its daily duties were mainly to help the Three-Tails clean up food residue in its body, and to extract chakra by digesting these residues and feeding it back to the Three-Tails.

This symbiotic behavior not only ensures its survival but also grants it the ability to efficiently extract chakra from food residue. As for absorbing and storing chakra, that is merely a secondary ability.

Samehada extracts chakra from ordinary food with far greater efficiency than conventional methods, yielding several times the amount extracted normally. It can extract energy from these food residues into chakra, store it, and feed it back to the Three-Tails, demonstrating its extremely high efficiency in utilizing food.

After the Kirigakure captured Samehada from the Three-Tails, they discovered that it could absorb chakra and transformed it into a ninja sword.

Such an approach, however, is putting the cart before the horse.

The most important digestive and absorption ecosystem of Samehada has been destroyed, while its side ability to absorb chakra has been preserved.

After Samehada was transformed into a ninja sword, it couldn't resist eating some small fish to satisfy its appetite. Unfortunately, the fish meat was not pure chakra and contained a lot of indigestible impurities. These impurities were difficult to expel from the blade, causing it to feel bloated and uncomfortable. It took a long time for it to recover.

After several painful attempts, Samehada learned its lesson and stopped eating ordinary food, instead absorbing chakra as its primary source of nutrition.

Now, having absorbed the food energy transmitted by Umino Sasuke, Samehada has regained its memories and rediscovered the instinctive joy of eating. The process of converting food energy into chakra directly makes Samehada's soul tremble.

Eating to survive and reproducing are the ultimate programs written by the Creator of Nature for every living being, and the joy in them is indescribable.

Samehada's purpose is to digest the Three-Tails' food scraps, extract and store chakra to feed back to the Three-Tails, a process that brings Samehada immense joy.

The food energy that Umino Sasuke is sending him is equivalent to feeding him the finest food. How could he not feel satisfied?
As the energy from the food was transferred to Samehada, streams of chakra were fed back, making Umino Sasuke feel more full than ever before.

"This is truly a stroke of luck!" Umino Sasuke was overjoyed; Samehada was the perfect match for him.

He has plenty of food energy; what he lacks is simply chakra.

Nowadays, as long as Samehada is fed a lot of food energy, it can be extracted into chakra and stored. When needed, Samehada can then be fed back to Samehada.

"Doesn't this amount to obtaining a Yin seal?"

The Yin Seal can store a large amount of chakra and instantly heal injuries, enhancing combat power. Samehada, on the other hand, can replenish a large amount of chakra and instantly heal injuries, enhancing combat power. It's essentially another version of the Yin Seal.

Moreover, Samehada can be used multiple times consecutively, unlike the Yin Seal which requires a lot of time to slowly recharge using one's own chakra. Samehada only needs food energy, which is inexhaustible.

This isn't some kind of Yin seal; it's clearly a Samehada-branded life-saving power bank!

As long as he has Samehada, he's an unkillable cockroach with inexhaustible chakra.

"We still can't be too reckless, especially with cell regeneration; it absolutely cannot be used indiscriminately."

Sasuke Umino steadied himself and suppressed a hint of smugness in his heart.

Cells can only divide a limited number of times, and he didn't want to die young. Even a god of the ninja world like Hashirama Senju couldn't withstand this kind of death, so his body, with its ordinary bloodline, certainly couldn't withstand such treatment.

Given the concentration of the Otsutsuki bloodline of Hashirama Senju, he could easily live for a hundred or two hundred years, if not thousands or tens of thousands of years. Yet he died so young, there must be something wrong with that.

Furthermore, ninjas generally begin to decline after the age of thirty. Even ninjas from prestigious ninja clans experience a significant decrease in combat power after the age of forty. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is a typical example of this.

"It seems that cell regeneration can only be used as a last resort to save your life. You should also try not to get injured in normal times."

Umino Sasuke became increasingly wary. This chakra seemed magical, yet it was strange, like energy cultivated through demonic methods. It could rapidly increase strength, but it lacked the nurturing function that magical energy should have, making one wonder.

"If you want to live a long life, you still have to rely on magic."

Compared to the quick and easy use of chakra, Sage Mode, though domineering, seems more orthodox. At least those old immortals in the Three Sacred Lands have been practicing Sage Mode for thousands of years.

"I wonder if my Breathing of the Wind technique is related to Sage Mode?"

A hint of anticipation rose in Umino Sasuke's heart, but he didn't have too high hopes.

After all, his Breathing of Wind technique is far different from Sage Mode. Unlike Sage Mode, which can destroy the world as soon as it is activated, his Breathing of Wind technique only allowed him to develop wind-attribute chakra at the beginning, and then its improvement was extremely slow.

Relying solely on the Breathing of the Wind technique, it would likely require at least several decades of continuous training to reach the level of a Kage.

"Come on, Samehada, try this energy too."

Seeing that Samehada liked the food energy and high-quality water-style chakra, Umino Sasuke transferred the energy he had absorbed using the Wind Breathing Technique to Samehada so that it could also taste it.
