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

Chapter 197 Hardening Technique

"If you want to capture me, you'll have to see if you have the ability."

The dead man from the east tore off his right shoulder sleeve, revealing his bare arm, his body brimming with fighting spirit.

In his view, although they were both elite Jonin and skilled in commanding and fighting in a legion, Earth Release counters Water Release, so defeating the opponent quickly should not be difficult.

"Earth Release·Rock Fist Technique!"

The Eastern Dead Man charged forward at top speed, his right arm rapidly expanding to form a giant rock fist, which he then unleashed a devastating blow.

"Six arms united as one!"

Sasuke Umino used all six of his arms to block the attack.

There was a loud bang.

He was sent flying and crashed into a giant tree, kicking up clouds of dust.

A large number of leaves fluttered down, adding to the desolate atmosphere.

"Such powerful strength, cough cough cough!"

Sasuke Umino fell from the giant tree and knelt on one knee, but he only suffered minor injuries from the shock and numbness in all six arms; he was otherwise unharmed.

With the restoration of Yang Release chakra, it was instantly restored to its original state.

Dong Siren wanted to take the opportunity to pursue, but two mecha puppets blocked his way.

"Chaos Wind Slash!"

"Chaos Wind Slash!"

The two mecha golems swung their decapitation swords, crossed them, and unleashed a flurry of spinning slashes.

Dong Siren tried to block with his rock fist, but it was shattered by the decapitation sword on his left, while the decapitation sword on his right slashed at him in the waist.

Earth Release: Hardening Technique!

A layer of yellowish-brown rock armor appeared on the Eastern Dead Man's body, which just managed to block the critical hit from the decapitation sword.

"What a strong defense!"

Umino Sasuke was shocked.

This hardening technique of the Eastern Dead is much stronger than that of a regular Jonin. The same defensive Earth Release technique can produce completely different effects in the hands of different people.

This is a decapitation sword. Its power is almost identical to that of Juzo Biwa's decapitation sword, except that it cannot absorb blood to recover. Faced with a slash that is almost equivalent to a single A-rank ninjutsu, Higashi Shijin was able to block it so easily, which shows that he is extremely good at defense.

Earth Release: Weighted Rock Technique!

Dong Siren continued to withstand the slashes from the mecha puppets, while taking the opportunity to place his hands on the two mecha puppets respectively.

A loud booming sound followed.

The ground beneath the two mecha puppets cracked slightly, and they lost their balance and fell to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

The mecha puppet tried to stand up, but found itself weighed down by an immense force. Even if it managed to stand, it could only move like a snail and couldn't even lift the greatsword in its hand.

"Ninjutsu counter?"

Umino Sasuke's eyes were sharp, and his heart was shocked.

Since being equipped with the decapitation sword, the two mecha puppets have seen their offensive and defensive capabilities rise to the level of elite Jonin, making them quite formidable.

Now, facing this Eastern Dead Man, he was easily subdued by the Heavy Rock Technique.

The massive body of the mecha golem, which combines offense and defense, has now become its weakness.

Fortunately, this weakness was discovered in time. If such a move were used against a formidable opponent in the future, it could lead to an unexpected defeat.

Seeing that Higashi was trying to get past the mecha puppet, Umino Sasuke quickly formed hand seals.

"Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade!"

Instantly, a vacuum bullet, like a cannonball, struck the dead man in the east.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

The Eastern Dead Man retreated rapidly, and at the same time, an earthen wall appeared in front of him. This earthen wall tried to withstand the blow of the vacuum bullet, but it was in vain; a single vacuum bullet shattered it.

The Eastern Dead are experienced in combat and possess extremely strong tactical abilities.

He also knew that this earthen wall could not defend against such a powerful wind attack. The reason he used the Earth Flow Wall was more to block the opponent's line of sight and make it easier to dodge.

Unfortunately, this tactic did not have much effect against an opponent with 360-degree unobstructed vision, and instead put him on the defensive.

The Eastern Dead Man didn't have time to form hand seals and use defensive Earth Escape Technique, so he could only use Hardening Technique to withstand the attack.

A vacuum bullet struck his left arm, instantly shattering the hardening spell on it. The powerful vacuum shockwave caused his entire arm to explode.

Even the bones inside were shattered, clearly rendering it useless.

Despite the excruciating pain, Dong Siren used the immense force transmitted through his left arm to flip and leap, barely dodging several vacuum bullets from behind and creating some distance between himself and the others.

Umino Sasuke used a quick movement technique to appear in front of the mecha puppet and placed Samehada on it.

Samehada: Chakra Absorption!

The weighted rock spell on the mecha golem was dispelled, and the mecha golem regained its mobility.

The two mecha puppets did not participate in the siege but instead helped the main body clear out the small fry. After the East Dead Man revealed his true form, some fleeing Iwa ninja would stop to rescue this Iwa ninja commander, and the two mecha puppets could help hold off these Iwa ninja.

"Earth Release·Rock Fist Technique!"

The Eastern Dead Man resorted to his old trick, swinging his rocky right hand, which was even larger than his own body, and delivered a devastating blow.

"Otama Rasengan!"

With Samehada's help, a giant ball of chakra energy condensed in Umino Sasuke's hand.

A loud booming sound followed.

The rocky right hand of the Eastern Dead Man was directly shattered by the Giant Rasengan. The powerful shockwave struck, and with a crack, the bones in his right arm broke.

Although the injury to his right arm was not as severe as the one to his left arm from the vacuum bullet, it was still serious, and he had basically lost the ability to fight again.

"escape!"

Knowing he was no match for the enemy, the dead man could only flee for his life.

"Breathing of the Wind!"

Sasuke Umino's aura surged, and the markings on his face became visible. He then transformed into a phantom and crashed into Higashi no Shijin.

There was a pop.

The Thor's Sword in his hand easily pierced through the East Dead Man's hardening technique and went straight through his kidneys.

A massive influx of lightning-attribute chakra caused Higashi-no-Kami to immediately collapse.

Samehada: Chakra Absorption!

Samehada then coiled around Higashi's body, absorbing all of his chakra.

Then, Sasuke Umino rapidly formed hand seals in the middle lane and unleashed a sealing technique, completely sealing it away.

"Done!"

It swung Samehada, lifted it up, and hung it on Samehada. Then it jumped onto Baymax's back and flew into the sky.

Standing high in the sky, Umino Sasuke could overlook the entire battlefield, and the ninjas on the battlefield below could also see what was happening above.

The sight of the dead man from the East hanging on Samehada by the ninjas on the battlefield immediately caused a sensation.

"Wow! It's Higashi Shijin, the commander of the Iwagakure Legion."

"As expected of Konoha's iron wall, you are truly formidable!"

"The Iwa ninja are finished, charge!"

The Konoha ninjas seemed to have been injected with stimulants; their pursuit suddenly surged, and they charged forward at breakneck speed.

When the Iwa ninja saw that their commander, Higashi no Shijin, had been captured, their morale plummeted to rock bottom. Even those Iwa ninja who had chosen to cover the rear began to desert.
