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

Chapter 180 Snake Stream Substitute
When it comes to survival skills, Sasuke Umino, who possesses the Spore Technique, is no match for Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's Snake Style Skin-Shedding Substitution Technique, in particular, is unparalleled.

Faced with such a miraculous escape technique, Umino Sasuke naturally wouldn't miss it. So he used several vials of Kaguya's blood and marrow from a hundred battles to finally obtain this Snake Stream Skin-Shedding Substitution Technique.

Throughout the ninja world, among the many substitution techniques, Orochimaru's Snake Style Substitution Technique is undoubtedly unique and can be considered the most perfect substitution technique in the ninja world.

Using this ninjutsu, Orochimaru can freely transfer his body using his external body as a medium, and can even separate his body from his mouth.

What's even more amazing is that this transfer process doesn't require hand seals, and Orochimaru himself isn't harmed at all; he only loses some chakra. He can even easily dodge the incredibly powerful Amaterasu.

However, this Snake Stream Substitution Technique has a fatal flaw: the number of times cells can divide is limited. If the body suffers a fatal internal injury, even Orochimaru cannot use this ninjutsu indefinitely.

If it's just a superficial injury, Orochimaru can shed his skin like a snake, and theoretically, there's no limit to how much he can do.

"Brother-in-law No. 1, don't worry, after we get to the battlefield in the Land of Grass, I will take good care of my sister for you."

Senju Nawaki patted his chest, exuding a sunny, youthful vibe.

Taking care of your sister? You should take care of yourself first. You've been training for so long, don't get blown up by an explosive tag trap.

“I’m not your number one brother-in-law. Your sister Tsunade was just joking.”

"Brother-in-law No. 1, don't be shy. My sister said she likes rich, handsome tycoons like you."

"Didn't I already explain? Those explosive tags were all imprinted with chakra, they're not real. I still have a large family to support, I really don't have much money."

"My sister has a really good nose. She said she smells money on you, even your breath smells like money. You have to believe in my sister's ability. No matter where I hide my pocket money, my sister can find it. So, even if you don't have money now, you will definitely be a rich man in the future."

Senju Nawaki wasn't very confident in his sister's gambling skills, but he had absolute faith in her ability to make money.

My sister can find money anywhere with her sixth sense. She says if she smells money, then she's sure to find it.

Umino Sasuke was speechless. It was a waste of Tsunade's talent not to be a treasure hunter; she could actually discover that he had made a fortune just by using her sixth sense.

No wonder she's a spendthrift woman who always loses at gambling; she spends money like water, yet she can still develop a sixth sense for making money.

"Brother-in-law No. 1, you should have confidence in yourself. Although your strength is not as good as Jiraiya and Dan Kato, you are rich and handsome. The key is that you have awakened the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai."

Then, Senju Nawaki said dreamily, "When you and my sister have a baby, you will also have the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, and I can play in the snow with the baby."

"Who said I awakened the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai?"

Sasuke Umino looked puzzled. Where did this rumor come from?

"Brother-in-law No. 1, this matter has already spread, so stop hiding it. Wasn't Hanzo's summoning beast, Ibuki, killed by your Ice Release?"

Thousand Hands Rope Tree had an expression that said, "I saw right through you."

Just as Sasuke Umino was about to explain, the Sannin of Konoha had already reorganized the main force. Nawaki Senju quickly said his final farewell and ran to Tsunade's side.

Although the environment was noisy and quite far away, Sasuke Umino's hearing was extremely sharp, and he still heard Nawaki Senju say the word "baby." Tsunade, who was usually very carefree, became unusually shy upon hearing this and looked over.

Sasuke Umino felt his face flush. When he saw Tsunade looking over, he nodded and greeted her.

Jiraiya immediately blocked Tsunade's view, looking in their direction as if facing a formidable enemy, fearing his goddess might be seduced by a pretty boy. Orochimaru nodded to Umino Sasuke, then waved his hand, leading the main force on their way.

Watching the departing figures of the main force, Umino Sasuke suddenly felt an increased pressure.

In this war in the Land of Rain, the Unno forces achieved great merit, not only breaking through the Rain Ninja defense line but also annihilating a huge number of enemies. Commander Unno Sasuke even killed Hanzo's summoning beast, Ibuki.

Even Hanzo was ambushed by him, caught off guard, and ended up defeated.

After the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire signed a ceasefire agreement, the Iwa ninja army soon advanced into the Land of Grass. Most of the Konoha troops in the Land of Rain had been transferred to support the Land of Grass.

In particular, with the departure of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha, Konoha's military strength in the Land of Rain almost reached an all-time low.

As a highly decorated unit with a great reputation among the Rain Ninja, the Umino troops were left to guard the area.

The Umino Unit, which was originally a mobile support unit, has now become a garrison force stationed in the Land of Rain.

Fortunately, Hanzo stayed in Amegakure and didn't cause any trouble, otherwise the Umino forces might not have been able to suppress the Amegakure ninja.

"With Amegakure signing such a surrender agreement, who is truly the victor?"

As Sasuke Unno watched the large amount of supplies being transported from the Land of Fire into the Land of Rain, he felt that his efforts to help the Legendary Sannin of Konoha defeat Hanzo had been completely futile, as they had not changed the outcome Hanzo had intended.

Putting aside the issue of ceding territory and paying reparations, the Land of Fire is actually helping the Land of Rain restore production. They were fighting to the death just last month, but now they're as close as brothers.

"Forget it, I'll just go back to the Land of Waves and continue my research."

Sasuke Umino left behind several shadow clones to deal with any emergencies. He then used the shadow clones in conjunction with the Flying Lightning Technique to teleport to the Land of Waves.

The Land of Waves is currently bustling with activity. After hiring a number of wandering ninjas, it has taken on the air of an infrastructure-building maniac, with the entire Land of Waves undergoing massive infrastructure development.

With the start of the Ninja World War, business activities should have become more difficult, but the Land of Waves bucked the trend and its business flourished even more.

However, business on the mainland was still significantly affected, while maritime trade was changing rapidly, and the Land of Waves was showing signs of developing into the number one port city in the ninja world.

"Hiruko, how's the research on the salamander's neurotoxin going?"

"Lord Sasuke, we've made progress."

"Hiruko, there's no rush in researching the Oni-Garuru Technique. Let's focus on developing the neurotoxin of the salamander first and mass-producing it. If we don't make more money during the Shinobi World War, how will we afford to conduct experiments later?"

"Okay, give me a week, and I'll definitely find a way to mass-produce it."

"I'm optimistic about you."

Umino Sasuke patted Hiruko on the shoulder in affirmation.

Compared to the glorious reign of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, Hiruko's life was far less successful.

The three legendary Sannin of Konoha became Jonin at a young age, but Hiruko remained a Chunin for many years.

If it weren't for Umino Sasuke's discovery and his efforts to promote him to Special Jonin, he might not have had the chance to advance his ninja rank further even after the Second Shinobi World War ended.
