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

Chapter 293 Bloodline Transplantation

Now, with the help of "money power," Tekyukin's strength has also improved rapidly, and he focuses his main efforts on aerial combat using mechanical devices and summoned beasts.

With the Teku family's financial resources and large population, coupled with their family summoning beast, the Desert Falcon, they are already showing signs of catching up with the Inuzuka family, which has been somewhat stagnant.

If it weren't for the emergence of Ryo Inuzuka, a Jonin, and Jacques Inuzuka, a rising genius, in this generation, the Inuzuka family might not have been able to surpass the Hisa family in terms of ninja strength.

Unfortunately, while the mechanical tools enhanced by "money power" can be made quickly, they also have their limits, making it difficult to break through the Jonin barrier.

Tekudo had also consulted with Umino Sasuke about their future development direction and the feasible solutions they offered: first, to strengthen the strength and number of Desert Falcons; second, to develop mechanical puppet crossbows; and third, to develop the Iwagakure's Explosion Release technique.

The Teku family was quite obedient and adopted all their advice. They not only invested a lot of money in the Land of Waves laboratory to develop the Ninja Beast Secret Medicine 3.0, but also fully supported Tekudo's development in the direction of mechanical puppet crossbows. As for Tekukin, who had better talent, he trained in mechanical manipulation while learning Earth Release and Fire Release ninjutsu from Umino Sasuke in preparation for developing the Iwagakure Explosion Release.

The reason why Umino Sasuke supported Tekukin's development of Explosion Release was because he discovered a small flaw in the printing of explosive tags. Even with the technical support of Kagerou Village, the shelf life of these printed explosive tags had reached its limit. A week seemed like a long time, but it also meant that he could not completely extricate himself from it.

If Tekukin can develop Explosion Release, it can replace the function of printing explosive tags to a certain extent. Although the Senju bloodline of the Teku family is very thin, their chakra is still considerable. It should not be difficult to support the supply of bombs for the weapon troops and puppet troops.

Of the three young boys, Inuzuka Jacques and Tekukin, he didn't need to worry too much. However, his third brother, Umino Tobirama, required a lot of his attention.

Unfortunately, in this cruel ninja world, the shackles of talent and bloodline are not so easy to break, especially the issue of chakra quantity, which is indeed extremely difficult to solve.

Tobirama possesses two major control and defense techniques, Mizugae and Kuro Rope, along with the chakra-sharing assistance of Kaibozu's clones. Becoming a Chunin is not difficult for him, but becoming a Jonin, or even a Special Jonin, is not so easy.

If the battle takes place in a watery environment, the presence of Umibozu's clones will greatly reduce the impact on combat power. However, without Umibozu's chakra sharing, even with secret techniques, it will be in vain.

Among the first generation of commoner ninjas, Tobirama and Kaoru's talents were quite good, even better than their older brother's original talents. However, compared with the ninja clan members, they were not good enough.

Based on their talent and potential, he believed that with the help of family secret medicines and a large amount of resources, their limit was reaching the level of Special Jonin. Even in a watery environment, with the assistance of Umibozu, they could only compete with regular Jonin. For their future safety, he had been looking for ways to improve their talent and potential, but unfortunately, he had not found a good solution.

An accidental failed experiment led to an unexpected turning point.

Sasuke Umino's original experimental target was himself. When he helped Nawaki Senju examine his body, he took the opportunity to obtain some of Nawaki Senju's bone marrow tissue. He wanted to try transplanting it, hoping to stimulate the White Zetsu ability in his body and see if he could awaken the Wood Release bloodline limit. At the very least, by transplanting Nawaki Senju's bone marrow, he could obtain Nawaki Senju's rudimentary Sage physique derived from the Senju bloodline.

However, the results of the experiment were very disappointing.

The bone marrow of Senju Nawaki was incompatible with his, resulting in an extremely strong rejection reaction. Even advanced medical ninjutsu could not effectively suppress it, and the Yang Release chakra released by the medical ninjutsu actually exacerbated this aftereffect.

Fortunately, with his powerful cell regeneration ability and exquisite chakra control, the aftereffects were not significant. However, the transplanted Rope Tree bone marrow was completely eliminated by his own immune system, resulting in negligible improvement, far less effective than continuing to cultivate the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound Body Tempering Technique.

The failure of the bone marrow transplant experiment was due to the mismatch between the bone marrow and the rejection reaction. When he thought about the problem of bone marrow matching, an idea immediately flashed through Umino Sasuke's mind.

He, Tobirama, and Kaoru are siblings, sharing the same roots and origins, so their bone marrow compatibility is naturally extremely high. In addition, given the unique characteristics of medical ninjutsu and chakra, transplanting his bone marrow into Tobirama and Kaoru shouldn't be a problem.

To make up for his younger siblings' lack of talent, he immediately conducted a bone marrow matching experiment. The match was quite high. So, using his superb medical ninjutsu, he quietly transplanted his specially treated bone marrow cells into Tobirama and Kaoru respectively.

The process went surprisingly smoothly. Because they shared the same bloodline, the rejection reaction was minimal, and there were no problems even without medical ninjutsu to suppress it.

Since the bone marrow transplant, Tobirama and Kaoru have experienced virtually no side effects, except for an increased appetite.

In order to maximize the effect of the bone marrow transplant as soon as possible, he personally guided the two to practice the "Bone Marrow Yang Escape Blood Production Technique," imparting to them all the secret techniques he had stolen from the Kaguya clan and created by combining them with Yang Escape.

Tobirama, having mastered the secret techniques of Mizugae and Kurobo, already had some knowledge of Yang Release. Xiao Xin, having been taught by Tsunade, possessed Yang Release skills comparable to some senior medical chunin. Under his hands-on guidance, the two quickly mastered the "Bone Marrow Yang Release Blood Production Technique".

Although this secret technique is not much more advanced than the secret arts of the Kaguya clan, its essence is extraordinary.

He had already fused with the Ice Release bloodline limit and was in a period of rapid growth. His genetic DNA had also undergone a transformation, and the Ice Release hematopoietic stem cells in his bone marrow were particularly active.

Since receiving his bone marrow transplant and beginning to practice the "Bone Marrow Yang Release Blood Production Technique," Tobirama and Kaoru's originally dark skin began to lighten, changing dramatically every day. Their chakra levels also slowly increased, and their recovery speed far surpassed what it had been before.

Even more surprisingly, as they continued to practice the "Bone Marrow Yang Release Blood Production Technique," they unknowingly developed wind-attribute chakra.

This means that their original single water attribute chakra constitution has been transformed under the nourishment and modification of his powerful bone marrow, and now they possess both water and wind attribute chakra!

It's even possible that it already possesses the basic potential to awaken the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai!

To speed up the process, he began teaching the two Sound Release techniques to deepen their understanding of Wind Release. As for Water Release, their understanding would naturally improve as their Water Release techniques became more advanced.

However, their talent in transformation techniques was only average, far inferior to the Inuzuka family's innate affinity for transformation techniques. Their training in sound release techniques was not smooth, especially infrasound sound release. Whenever they tried to train it, they would be interfered with by the reverse shock of infrasound waves, making it impossible to master its frequency. Ultrasonic sound release was a little better, with less interference, but it was still quite difficult to get started.

He could only break down the ultrasonic sonic escape into smaller parts, and then have the two of them spend time every day using the water-grinding technique to gradually improve their skills. Although the cultivation speed was slow and could not compare to the simulated assimilation learning using transformation techniques, the method was effective. Moreover, the cultivation speed was not necessarily slower than the family secret techniques of the pig, deer, and butterfly clans.

With Tobirama and Kaoru now having the potential to awaken their Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, the Umino clan's secret technique system has also undergone significant adjustments.

Core members of the clan, such as Tobirama and Kaoru, not only practiced the Water Candy Secret Technique but also added the Sound Release Secret Technique to their training. Their main purpose was to deepen their understanding of the nature of Wind Release in order to awaken the Ice Release Bloodline Limit. Of course, the perception and insight capabilities of the Sound Release Secret Technique are also extremely powerful. Combined with the Silent Killing Technique, it is even more useful than the Ice Release Bloodline Limit in low to mid-level battles, and can be used as a means of self-defense in the early stages.

In this way, the secret arts system of the Umino clan was finally fully formed.

For the Umino clan members who have no talent for ninjas, if they really want to become ninjas, they can take Life Star II to directly tap into their potential, refine their chakra potential, and then put on the flying armor to quickly become Chunin. After that, they can copy the Teku family mode. Even though it is difficult to become a Technician Jonin due to limitations in chakra and money, becoming a Technician Special Jonin should not be difficult.

Even ordinary ninjas with natural talent can have their potential fully explored and develop into mechanical manipulation techniques. They can also cultivate the Mizugae Secret Technique or the Black Rope Secret Technique, pursuing a control-type ninja path. With the chakra-sharing assistance of the Umibozu clone, even those with mediocre ninja talent can at least master one of these secret techniques. These mediocre ninjas who have mastered these secret techniques are easy prey against Jonin, but they have an absolute advantage against ordinary Chunin and Genin, making them a formidable force.

Those Umino clan members with good ninja talent have more options. They can specialize in the Black Rope Technique while also working as medical ninjas, or they can specialize in the Water Cane Technique and pursue the path of a sealing and control ninja. The Water Cane Technique, in particular, has considerable potential. When mastered to a high level, it can have a certain sealing and control effect on large summoned beasts and even tailed beasts. Umino Kozuru is a prime example. Although she is currently only a Jonin, her mastery of the Water Cane Sealing Technique is such that she can even fight against top-level summoned beasts.

The key is that these clansmen can team up with Inuzuka and Teku clan ninjas to maximize the effect of control-type secret techniques. Even if such a powerful combination is not as good as the Ino-Shika-Cho combination in terms of ninjutsu coordination, with the addition of the powerful ninja beasts of the fish, bird and dog clans, the absolute advantage in numbers, and the advantage of land, sea and air terrain, their combat power is in no way inferior to the Ino-Shika-Cho combination.

With the formation of this combat system, the fish, bird, and dog clans are showing a strong trend of rapidly becoming first-class ninja clans; all they lack is high-end combat power and time.

As for high-end combat power, the Teku family will most likely only be able to rely on the Desert Falcon. As for the Inuzuka family, apart from Inuzuka Jaw and Inuzuka Ryo, they will not lack anything as long as they do not perish along the way. As for the Umino family, currently only Umino Sasuke is holding on. Umino Ikkaku and Umino Koshin have limited potential, and the threshold of elite Jonin is already their limit.

Fortunately, bone marrow transplants are now possible, creating artificial geniuses. However, currently, only Tobirama and Kaoru have undergone bone marrow transplants, which have altered their talents and aptitudes.

As for other members of the Sea Wild Clan, if the bone marrow match is high, some people can be selected to receive bone marrow transplants to improve their talents and aptitudes. However, it is likely that very few members of the clan will meet the requirements. After all, many members of the Sea Wild Clan are already beyond the fifth generation of kinship, and even relatives of the fourth or fifth generation have a very low probability of receiving bone marrow transplants. Those blood relatives within the second or third generation, on the other hand, have a better chance.

The closer the bloodline, the greater the chance of rejection and successful transplantation. His parents and older brother, Umino Taro, are ordinary people without chakra, so transplantation would be meaningless for them. For clansmen with distant blood relations, the risk of rejection is extremely high, the success rate is slim, and the effect is unknown. Only his cousins ​​have a chance.

However, he didn't have many cousins. Although his father had many brothers and sisters in Akimyouhara, it was during the period when major ninja villages were being established, and there was a lot of war. The mortality rate of children was extremely high, and even if they grew up, they still faced the risk of death.

Moreover, surviving doesn't guarantee marriage and offspring. For example, his fourth uncle remained a bachelor in Akimichi Plain until the Umino clan prospered and moved to Konoha Village, at which point his fourth uncle finally married a young wife.

Therefore, there are not many blood relatives within the next two or three generations, not even enough to count on both hands, and many of them have already passed the age of becoming ninjas. To cultivate a large number of genius clan members, we can only wait for our fourth aunt and eldest sister-in-law to give birth to more members for the Umino family.

Fortunately, they developed the Life Yang No. 1 longevity potion, allowing those uncles, cousins, and other relatives to continue working into their fifties and sixties, increasing the population of the Haiye clan.

Currently, only Tobirama and Kaoru have undergone bone marrow transplants in the Umino clan. In Konoha, there are a few other young people with close bloodlines who haven't even attended the Ninja Academy yet, so they're not in a hurry to have bone marrow transplants. Moreover, he doesn't plan to have them transplanted in the short term. Preserving their "useless" potential might even temper their character. If they were to experience a "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential" scenario, that would be even better. If they were to stage a "useless underdog's rise to power" drama and produce a Kage-level clansman, that would be a huge win.

Of course, revealing a Kage-level clansman is just wishful thinking. It would be more practical to train younger siblings first and let them become independent as soon as possible.

Since Tobirama and Kaoru received his bone marrow transplant and their talents were improved, they have become more confident and their faces are always beaming with smiles. Although their talents and potential still cannot compare with top ninja geniuses like Inuzuka Jacques, they have reached the standard of excellent ninja geniuses like Inuzuka Ryo.
