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

Chapter 240 The Rock Ninja Thief
Now that Mito Uzumaki has returned to the Pure Land, the day when the Uzumaki clan will be wiped out is not far off.

I'll find an opportunity to infiltrate the Land of Whirlpools and, with my Spore Technique, obtain the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan. That shouldn't be a problem.

As for the Wood Release bloodline limit, since his body was assimilated by White Zetsu, it seems that he has already developed some of the prototype of the Wood Release bloodline limit within him. With the continuous cultivation of the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound Secret Technique and the increasing refinement of both internal and external cultivation, he has gradually developed a Sage Body and mastered the power of Yang Release. He should be able to awaken Wood Release.

If I really can't awaken Wood Release, I can always transplant Hashirama's cells and use the Yin-Yang Release properties of chakra to gradually cultivate it. If that still doesn't work, Black Zetsu has 100,000 White Zetsu hidden underground, right? I don't need too many. I can just devour a thousand or eight hundred White Zetsu and awaken basic Wood Release, right?

If none of these work, then the only option is to use the Mangekyou Sharingan to suppress Hashirama's cells and follow Obito's path.

The reason I wanted to master Wood Release was not because I thought Wood Release was particularly powerful; the only powerful one was Hashirama Senju.

He values ​​Wood Release simply because he wants to obtain its devouring power to suppress the tailed beasts. If he can actually fuse a mini Ten-Tails, and sealing techniques and the Mangekyou Sharingan aren't effective enough, he can still use Wood Release to suppress it.

"The power of the Six Paths can be planned in the long term, but the most urgent task is to raise our combat strength to the Kage level as soon as possible."

Sasuke Umino abandoned his unrealistic ambitions and refocused his attention on the meteorite.

The meteorite was placed on the broken talon of a desert falcon, radiating energy that even the most powerful wind-escape technique couldn't detect. Even with the sealing technique's isolation, it still caused a burning sensation on the skin.

Only purple chakra refined from radiation can effectively resist this radiation stimulation.

After waiting for a while, a shadow clone finally emerged from the ground and handed him a ninjutsu scroll.

"Heh! You dare call yourself the Book of Sealing Techniques with just a few ninjutsu?"

Umino Sasuke unfolded the scroll, which contained only a few attribute-neutral ninjutsu techniques besides the Peacock Technique series. It was even more meager than the ninjutsu book of the Sky Village.

The Ninja Book of the Hidden Sky Village at least contains advanced materials like physical activation and Zero-Tails creation techniques. This so-called Star Hidden Sealing Book, apart from the knowledge about chakra shape transformation which is somewhat passable, is all garbage. It doesn't even qualify as a Ninja Book, let alone a sealing book.

I now have a completely new understanding of these arrogant and ignorant people.

"Forget it, we shouldn't have too high expectations for the small ninja village."

Sasuke Umino shook his head, took out the Breaking Sword, and easily broke the sealing technique on the meteorite, putting it into his possession.

"Huh? This Third Hoshikage is something else."

As soon as the seal was broken, the Third Hoshikage on the other side of the valley sensed the anomaly and immediately used the Peacock Technique, spreading his chakra wings and flying over.

"Spore Technique!"

Umino Sasuke hid underground and dived towards the outside of the village.

"You despicable scoundrel, you won't escape from Hoshigakure!"

The Third Generation Star Shadow was extremely fast, and in just a few breaths, he flew to the stone house training room, only to find that the meteorite was nowhere to be found.

"Peacock's Wonderful Technique - Eye!"

The Third Hokage concentrated his star chakra into his pupils, peering at the traces left by the chakra, before flying high into the sky and chasing after it in the southeast direction.

"Peacock's Wonderful Method: Tiger!"

The Third Hokage condensed his star chakra into a tiger shape and slammed it into the ground below.

With a loud bang.

Forced to emerge from the ground by the shockwave, pieces of sticky residue fell from his body, revealing his form underneath. To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he took the opportunity to use a transformation technique to change his appearance, body shape, and clothing.

"Cough cough cough! Such strong perception."

The fact that the Third Hoshikage could still detect him despite his invisibility using the Spore Technique demonstrates an insight that surpasses that of most Jonin from the Five Great Ninja Villages. Moreover, judging from the Third Hoshikage's combat strength, he is no less than an elite Jonin.

No wonder he dares to call himself Star Shadow; he's got some skills, and with his aerial advantage, he's quite a formidable opponent. "Hand over Star, and I'll leave you a whole corpse!"

The Third Hokage was quite confident in his own strength, hovering in the void, looking down at Umino Sasuke.

Without saying much, Umino Sasuke used the Body Flicker Technique and dashed out of the village.

"Peacock's Wonderful Technique: Falcon!"

The Third Hokage condensed his star chakra into more than a dozen falcons, which then launched a fierce attack.

"Explosive step!"

Sasuke Umino activated his Breath of Wind and easily dodged the attack.

"Where do you think you're going to run to?"

Seeing that the Valley of Poisonous Gas was ahead, the Third Hoshikage put on a gas mask and continued the pursuit.

"Light and Heavy Rock Technique!"

Umino Sasuke didn't slow down at all, rushing straight off the cliff. Instead of falling into the poisonous valley below, he flew forward.

However, while the Light-Heavy Rock Technique allows for flight, it is far slower than the Peacock Mystic Technique from the Star Ninja Village.

In the blink of an eye, the Third Hoshikage caught up and unleashed another barrage of attacks.

"Peacock's Wonderful Method: Eagle!"

The Third Hokage condensed his star chakra into the shape of an eagle and attacked Umino Sasuke, who was floating above the poisonous valley.

"Earth Release·Rock Fist Technique!"

Umino Sasuke swung his right fist and easily crushed the Eagle-Shaped Peacock Technique.

During his brief escape, he had already discerned a fatal flaw in this Peacock Technique.

The Peacock Technique appears powerful, capable of delivering a single strike comparable to a B-rank single-target ninjutsu, or even an A-rank ninjutsu. However, it is not particularly strong in terms of physical attack.

The Peacock Technique, formed from pure chakra, is indeed extremely powerful in terms of magical attack, but it is even inferior to conventional ninjutsu in terms of physical defense against earth-style ninjutsu.

"You traitorous Iwa ninja, die!"

Seeing that Umino Sasuke was about to fly over the poisonous valley, the Third Hokage finally unleashed his killing move.

"Peacock's Wonderful Method - Bear!"

Suddenly, markings appeared on the Third Hokage's face, and his entire body radiated purple light, coalescing into a bear-shaped chakra behemoth over ten meters tall.

The bear-shaped chakra behemoth clasped its fists and slammed them down with all its might at Umino Sasuke in the void.

Such a powerful strike clearly compensated for some of the shortcomings of the Peacock Technique, combining the characteristics of both magic and physical attacks. Its power has surpassed that of a regular A-rank ninjutsu.

"Secret Technique: Air Defense Wall!"

Sasuke Umino spat out a large amount of sticky candy, which formed a multi-layered hemispherical sphere in front of him.

The Bear-Type Peacock Mystic Technique was indeed powerful, actually shattering two layers of sticky candy defenses. Its power far exceeded expectations, almost comparable to the Sky Ninja's Chakra Cannon.
