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

Chapter 208 The Art of Light and Heavy Rocks

For the next few days, Sasuke Umino stayed in the Land of Waves, releasing a large number of shadow clones and frantically working on the Earth Release techniques in the Book of Seals.

In particular, the Light and Heavy Rock Technique and the Hardening Technique are both low-level ninjutsu, but they are extremely practical.

Once you master the art of light and heavy rocks, you will gain the ability to fly, and your ability to survive on the battlefield will naturally increase significantly.

Mastering the Hardening Technique is like adding another layer of thick armor to oneself, greatly increasing defensive capabilities and significantly improving battlefield survivability.

Furthermore, Hardening can be used in conjunction with Adhesive Armor. Applying Hardening with another layer of Adhesive Armor will drastically increase your defense.

In addition, through the practice of hardening techniques, and by gaining a broader understanding of related skills, it also played a significant role in the further development of the sticky armor.

Now, the improved Mucin Armor, while not capable of withstanding Rasengan head-on, can handle most regular A-rank ninjutsu without much trouble.

Even with the Rock Fist technique, layered upon the Heavy Rock technique, he could only barely break through two layers of sticky armor.

The improved syrup armor can have three layers. Since the syrup armor was layered and two layers of flowing syrup were added, its defensive power has increased several times over.

Of course, the learning difficulty has also skyrocketed from the original C level to A level, even surpassing the learning difficulty of the Hardening Technique.

Faced with three layers of sticky armor, he could only break through it in one blow by using his superhuman strength and then adding the weighted rock technique.

The super strength he just learned is not the Boil Release super strength from the Book of Seals, but the super strength fist that Tsunade taught to Senju Nawaki as a tuition fee for his instruction.

Of course, Tsunade and Orochimaru asked him to teach them these ninjutsu as a way of thanking him for saving Senju Nawaki and sharing his ninjutsu.

"Brother-in-law, I have mastered the Art of Erasing Faces and even the Art of Hardening. Can I go to the front lines of the Land of Grass now?"

"Alright, once you get to the battlefield, you must follow orders, or we'll send you back here to continue your training."

"Really?"

When Senju Nawaki heard that Umino Sasuke had actually agreed, he thought he had misheard.

Seeing Umino Sasuke nod, Senju Nawaki finally confirmed it.

"Yay!" Senju Nawaki jumped up and cheered excitedly. He could finally return to the front lines of the Land of Grass.

"Don't move around. I won't be responsible if your hands, feet, or arms are severed by the spatial rift."

Sasuke Umino held down Nawaki Senju, causing the six shadow clones in the formation to use the Flying Thunder God Technique in conjunction with the Shadow Clone Technique.

Upon returning to the front lines of the Land of Grass, I sensed a chilling aura permeating the entire Konoha army's base.

"Captain, who is this? He looks so much like you!"

Upon seeing Senju Nawaki, Tekudo teased, "Captain, is this your illegitimate son? I've heard that you had an affair with Ruritama from Sunagakure and even cuckolded Kazekage candidate Sandielan. Could this little guy be Sasori?"

"Tekudo, are you asking for trouble again? This is my distant cousin, Umino Itsuki. You'll have to keep an eye on him from now on."

Sasuke Umino pushed Nawaki Senju in front of Tekudo so they could get to know each other.

Senju Nawaki bowed and said, "Brother, hello. I am Umino Itsuki. Please take care of me."

"Of course, of course." Tekudo's old bureaucratic habits kicked in again, and he immediately began to plan how to recruit Senju Nawaki as his subordinate. After hearing that this newcomer was a ninja from the Umino clan, he became even more friendly.

Now that the Umino, Tehisa, and Inuzuka clans have formed an alliance, they are in a period of rapid development. They should communicate more so that they can support each other on the battlefield in the future.

Tekudo wasn't curious as to why the Umino clan had gained another ninja. It was mainly because the Umino clan had moved too many members from the Akina Plain fishing village. Not to mention Tekudo, even Umino Sasuke, the head of the clan, might not be able to recognize all the clan members.

Senju Nawaki simply appeared in the Umino army as a member of the Umino clan from the fishing village of Akikihara, as a ninja of the Umino family.

Even when Tobirama Umino saw it, he didn't suspect anything, assuming that another cousin had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

With the help of the seasoned veteran Tekudo, Senju Nawaki quickly became familiar with the affairs of the Umino unit.

Not long after the two returned to the front lines of the Land of Grass, an Anbu member came to them, conveying an urgent mission personally issued by the Third Hokage.

"The Kamisama clan is planning a sneak attack on Konoha?"

Sasuke Umino opened the mission scroll and checked the mission information, only to discover that the Kamisumi clan was incredibly audacious, intending to use the flying advantage of the summoning wood bees to secretly cross the Grass Country's defense line from the Land of Waterfall and enter the heart of the Land of Fire to directly attack Konoha Village.

If the above-mentioned swarms of bees from the Water Stream Clan were to invade Konoha Village, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If they were to actually accomplish this, even if Konoha ultimately defeats the Kamisumi clan ninjas, they would certainly suffer heavy losses.

Hundreds of thousands of ordinary villagers in Konoha cannot withstand the attack of the summoning bee swarm. Once there are large-scale casualties among the Konoha villagers, the morale of the Konoha ninjas on the front line will definitely be unstable, and they will worry about the safety of the elderly, weak, women and children at home. If Onoki takes the opportunity to attack the Grassland defense line, he will very likely defeat the Konoha army.

As expected of Onoki, he is indeed cunning and ruthless, even capable of devising such a vicious scheme.

"Onoki, since you dare to carry out such a vicious plan, don't blame me for retaliating in the same way in the future."

Sasuke Umino's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He had already thought of several revenge plans. His first thought was to find an opportunity to release the tailed beast in Iwagakure; the second was to use Earth Release combined with a dust explosion to blow up Iwagakure; the next was to use mutual explosion tags or poison the village.

Revenge can wait; the most urgent task is to return to the village as soon as possible and stop these ninjas from the Kamisumi clan.

Soon, the Aburame clan ninjas arrived at the Umino unit's base. Umino Sasuke gave them some instructions and then, along with Might Guy and Uchiha Shun, went to greet the Aburame clan ninjas.

"Head of the Umino family, thank you for your help this time."

Aburame Shiki and the five Aburame ninjas were all completely covered up, wearing sunglasses, and one of the Aburame ninjas was even wearing gloves, so not a single inch of their skin was exposed.

"Clan Head Aburame, it's all for Konoha, let's set off now."

Without much small talk, Umino Sasuke summoned Byakuya and planned to lead everyone back to Konoha Village as quickly as possible.

"Patriarch Haiye, although this desert falcon is already an adult and has a huge carrying capacity, carrying so many of us will probably take quite a while, won't it?"

As the head of the household, Yu Nu Zhiwei spoke rather subtly and did not directly point out the problem of Da Bai's insufficient load capacity.

"It doesn't matter, I have my own way."

Sasuke Umino, however, was confident and jumped directly onto Byakuya's back, with Shun Uchiha and Might Guy following suit.
