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

Chapter 223 Lightning Armor
"Did the Cloud Ninja instigate the Hidden Cloud Village to invade my Leaf Village?"

Umino Sasuke took the initiative, immediately pinning the blame on the Cloud Ninja.

Although the attack on Konoha by the Sky Ninja was most likely carried out by Iwagakure, Kumogakure is certainly not without its own involvement, otherwise they wouldn't have arrived at Sky Ninja so quickly, clearly intending to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

It even raises suspicions that the Hidden Cloud Village had premeditated this, aiming to profit from both sides. The chakra cannon that the Hidden Cloud Village later developed might have been created by inheriting the legacy of the Hidden Sky Village.

The Hidden Cloud Village is quite experienced in making a fortune quietly.

The strength of the ninja army in Kumogakure even surpassed that of Konoha at one point, which shows the nature of this ninja village. Don't be fooled by the fact that the Raikage are all simple-minded and physically strong brutes with little political acumen; their assistants are all shrewd and capable individuals.

"The Iron Wall of Konoha is all a misunderstanding."

As one of the few strategists in Kumogakure and an assistant to the Third Raikage, Tsuchida was quite wise. He didn't give her a chance and immediately denied it, even shifting the blame directly to Iwagakure, and went on to talk about the historical ties between the two great ninja villages of fire and lightning.

The third Raikage's son, the next generation A, standing to the side, was quite young and impetuous: "Tsuchidai, why waste words with them? Let's just start fighting. They're about to take all the good stuff from the Hidden Void Village."

Upon hearing these words from A, the successor to the Fourth Raikage, the entire Konoha pursuit force drew their swords, and a great battle was about to break out.

Umino Sasuke, however, smiled and did not stop them. Although the Fire and Lightning Kingdoms had not declared war, if they could take advantage of the fact that the Sky Ninja were the masterminds behind the invasion of Konoha, they could seize the opportunity to take down all the Cloud Ninja, which would greatly weaken the Hidden Cloud Village.

Moreover, the fourth Raikage's successor, Ai, has only just come of age and has not yet reached his peak. He is clearly not at the Kage level and is definitely an elite Jonin-level fighter. If he can be killed, it will undoubtedly cripple the Cloud Village and may even trigger a power struggle for the Raikage's succession in the Cloud Village.

Tsuchikage, however, remained remarkably calm and wise. He quickly raised his hand to stop the impulsive actions of A, the successor to the Fourth Raikage: "Konoha's iron wall is in place. Everyone who sees it gets a share. You don't mean to try and take all of the Hidden Cloud Village's inheritance for yourself, do you?"

"Tsuchi-dai-nin, you don't seem to have contributed much. The entire Hidden Void Village was conquered by Konoha."

According to the rules of the ninja world, whoever comes down here gets to keep the spoils.

"Even if you are the Iron Wall of Konoha, you are nothing more than this."

The Fourth Raikage, A, clenched his fist, his body radiating a torrent of lightning-style chakra, and declared with fierce determination, "The rules of the ninja world dictate that the strong possess everything. You and I will fight a great battle, and the victor will take away the legacy of the Hidden Cloud Village."

Umino Sasuke chuckled dismissively: "Heh! The legacy of the Hidden Void Village is already Konoha's spoils of war. If you want to wager a war, shouldn't you offer something else?"

The Fourth Raikage, A, didn't say a word and charged straight over.

"Righteous thunder axe!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, unleashed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, transforming into a bolt of lightning and concentrating his Lightning Release chakra under his feet before striking with a stomp.

"Strange power!"

Sasuke Umino threw a punch that landed squarely on the shin of the Fourth Raikage, A.

There was a bang.

The Fourth Raikage, A, was immediately sent flying. This was a probing attack, and Sasuke Umino did not use the Weighted Rock Technique.

If enhanced with the strongest Super Gravity Rock Technique, this attack might even break the leg bone of the Fourth Raikage, A.

Although the Fourth Raikage A is the oldest among the Fourth Kage in the ninja world, he has only just come of age and his growth is attributed to speed, unlike his father, the Third Raikage, whose speed and strength are both maximized.

"What? He actually suppressed Xiao Ai in terms of strength."

Tu Tai's expression changed drastically; he was utterly shocked.

They thought they could get Xiao Ai close to Konoha's Iron Wall and take her down as a bargaining chip in the negotiations, but they never expected that Konoha's Iron Wall, known for its ninja army's command and combat skills, would possess such terrifying power.

Clearly, in terms of pure strength, Xiao Ai is no match for this iron wall of Konoha.

"This Cloud Ninja brat actually dares to compete with our Lord Sasuke in strength; he's simply overestimating himself."

"Lord Sasuke is a terrifying being who can defeat a high-level summoning beast with a single punch. This Cloud Ninja kid is undoubtedly throwing an egg against a rock."

"However, this Cloud Ninja kid is quite fast."

The Konoha pursuit force was abuzz with discussion, displaying considerable confidence in Umino Sasuke's combat prowess.

Ever since they witnessed the battle between Umino Sasuke and the Sky Ninja, especially the scene of the sky filled with sticky water cannons that could withstand the bombardment of chakra cannons.

With such amazing defensive techniques, even if they cannot win, they should be invincible.

"The Raikage's successor is nothing special."

Sasuke Umino swung his wrist to warm up, pretending that he didn't take the Fourth Raikage, A, seriously at all.

Since mastering the Yang Release technique, his strength has undergone a tremendous transformation. While he may not be as indestructible as the Kaguya clan, he is certainly one of the most powerful in the ninja world.

With the superhuman strength he learned from Senju Nawaki, even Tsunade might not have such power.

If he were to receive the enhancement of the Weighted Rock Technique, then in the entire ninja world, only Onoki and the Third Raikage could surpass him in power.

"hateful!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, was so enraged by being slighted that he immediately unleashed his strongest Lightning Release armor.

"Heavy flow storm!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, concentrated his Lightning Release chakra in his elbow and charged forward.

Upon seeing this scene, Tu Tai felt a pang of anxiety and was prepared to step in at any moment. In his opinion, Xiao Ai was still too young and needed to hone her character. She easily lost her composure after being slightly mocked by the enemy. It was one thing not to take advantage of her speed, but to actually try to outmuscle the enemy was completely unwise.

"Water Release: Water Candy Sticking to the Wall!"

Sasuke Umino had no intention of continuing to compete in strength with the Fourth Raikage, A. Instead, he quickly formed hand seals, and a spherical water candy wall appeared in front of him.

There was a loud bang.

The Fourth Raikage, A, struck the sticky wall of the water candy directly with his elbow. The powerful force created a large crater in the sticky wall.

With the defensive strength of the water candy wall, it could even defend against ordinary chakra cannons, yet it failed to defend against the elbow strike of the Fourth Raikage, A.

Fortunately, Sasuke Umino had anticipated this and easily blocked the Fourth Raikage A's elbow as he continued to attack.

"Got you."

Sasuke Umino knew the speed of the Fourth Raikage, A, and took advantage of A's carelessness as he became trapped in the sticky water wall to subdue him.

"not good!"

Tsuchida's expression changed drastically, and he rushed to the rescue, but it was too late. Uchiha Shun, Might Guy, and others blocked Tsuchida's path.
