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

Chapter 309 One-Tailed Shukaku

At the same time, the Konoha Iron Wall Legion's formation was fully deployed, with the three armies resembling three unsheathed blades, their sharpness fully revealed.

In the central army, Sasuke Umino stood proudly at the front of the formation, with the Wind Release Joint Ninja Art Team and the Earth Release Joint Ninja Art Team behind him.

The Wind Release squad of ninjas exuded a sharp aura; the Earth Release squad of ninjas, on the other hand, were as steady as mountains, their heavy chakra fluctuations causing the sand beneath their feet to tremble slightly. The two squads were in perfect formation, their imposing presence aimed directly at the lone monk Bunpuku who stood in their way. Umino Sasuke's gaze calmly swept across the sand, meeting Bunpuku's compassionate yet resolute eyes across the distance.

On the left flank, the figure of Hatake Sagumo stood as straight as a javelin. Although his White Fang short sword was not yet drawn, it already exuded a chilling sharpness. Behind him were three combined ninjutsu squads of Water Release, Lightning Release, and Fire Release, as well as a well-equipped blade squad carrying a large number of ninja tool scrolls.

The Water Release squad's chakra was as deep as the ocean; the Lightning Release squad's lightning flashed; the Fire Release squad's aura was scorching; and with the Blade Squad's deadly kunai and explosive tag firepower ready to be unleashed at any moment, this 800-strong left flank army exuded the purest aura of offense and tearing apart.

On the right flank, Akimichi Torifu's massive body, like a moving mountain, gave people an unparalleled sense of security. Beside him, the contemporary "Ino-Shika-Cho" trio gathered together. Nara Shikasa's gaze was calm, and he seemed to have everything under control. Yamanaka Kyu's mental perception was fully activated, like an invisible radar. Akimichi Torifu was also eager to fight, with his massive chakra ready to be unleashed.

Behind them were five mecha puppets hovering in mid-air, radiating a cold metallic luster. Further behind them were the remaining eight hundred Konoha ninjas, including taijutsu ninjas skilled in close combat, puppet troops with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and ninjas providing logistical support. This right flank army, combining strategy, strength, and puppet troops, was targeting the right flank defensive position of Sunagakure.

A chilling atmosphere permeated the oasis, and even the scorching desert wind seemed to stand still.

Sasuke Umino slowly raised his right hand, his gaze sweeping across the left and right lanes before finally settling on Bunpuku in the center. His voice, calm yet clear, echoed throughout the battlefield: "Konoha Army! Attack!"

With a sudden swing of his arm, it was as if the fuse of war had been lit!
Without any probing, they launched a full-scale attack.

"kill!!!"

"For Konoha!!!"

The deafening shouts of battle instantly shattered the silence of the desert.

The three armies, like three torrents bursting their banks, launched a thunderous all-out attack on their respective targets with unstoppable momentum.

On the left flank, Hatake Sagumo took the lead, his White Fang short sword transforming into a streak of silver lightning. The weapon squad behind him was already poised to attack. As he pointed his sword forward, countless kunai, accompanied by piercing shrieks, poured down like a torrential rain onto the left flank of Sunagakure's position.

Without exception, each of these kunai had a brightly lit explosive tag attached to its end.

Rumbling--

The continuous explosions instantly turned the left flank of the Sunagakure positions into a sea of ​​fire and a sandstorm.

The makeshift sand wall was blasted to pieces, the traps were triggered prematurely, and the Sand Ninja were suppressed by the violent firepower and could not raise their heads. Their screams were drowned out by the roar of the explosions.

Immediately afterwards, the ninjas from the three combined ninjutsu squads of Water Release, Lightning Release, and Fire Release began to form hand seals, and violent chakra fluctuations converged, foreshadowing an even more terrifying combination ninjutsu that was about to descend.

On the right flank, Akimichi Torifu's massive body advanced rapidly like a battering ram, with five mecha puppets hovering beside him. Their cold, mirrored armor reflected a chilling light in the sunlight. At Akimichi Torifu's command, the chakra cannons on the chests of the mecha puppets lit up with a blinding light!
“Swish—Boom!!!”

Ten thick beams of chakra slammed into the Sand Village's right flank defenses, instantly blasting a huge breach in them. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio, leading their puppet army, charged forward like precise scalpels, beginning to cut through the Sand Village's defenses.

In stark contrast to the earth-shattering battles on both flanks was the battle in the middle.

Sasuke Umino stood calmly at the front of the formation, arms crossed, while the combined wind and earth ninjutsu squad behind him remained as still as a rock.

His gaze pierced through hundreds of meters of sand, landing on that solitary, gaunt figure.

Monk Fenfu clasped his hands together, his eyes filled with compassion.

The shouts and explosions from both flanks grew increasingly intense. The screams of the Sand Ninja and the roars of the Leaf Village intertwined. Monk Bunpuku watched as the defensive lines on both flanks teetered on the brink of collapse under the powerful offensive of the Leaf Village. The left flank, in particular, was in dire straits under the fierce attack of Hatake Sagumo. His withered body trembled slightly, and a trace of reluctance and determination flashed in his eyes.

"Amitabha Buddha... I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

With a heavy chant of Buddhist prayer, Monk Fenfu finally stopped waiting.

His thin fingers moved rapidly, forming hand seals faster than Sasuke Umino, but faster than a regular Jonin, far exceeding the impression his appearance gave.

"Wind Release·Sand Shot!"

call--

A sudden gust of wind arose, whipping up a cloud of yellow sand.

These sands were not flying around randomly, but under the precise control of Wind Release chakra, they condensed into countless high-speed rotating sand bullets with powerful penetrating force. Like a dense swarm of bees, they emitted a piercing whistle and covered the sky and earth towards Umino Sasuke and the Konoha army in the middle behind him.

While sand bullets are not particularly lethal, once they hit a target, the sand will instantly embed itself into flesh, greatly restricting the opponent's ability to move.

Faced with this terrifying wind release technique that could instantly paralyze an ordinary army, Umino Sasuke remained standing with his arms crossed, not even lifting his eyelids.

"Earth Escape Squad!"

A steady command rang out.

Behind Umino Sasuke, twenty Earth Release Chunin simultaneously stepped forward, their movements perfectly synchronized, their hands quickly forming the same hand seals.

"Combined Earth Escape Technique: Ten Thousand Mile Earth Flow Wall!"

Rumbling--

The sand beneath Umino Sasuke's feet churned violently, and a massive, thick, arched earthen wall, over ten meters high, rose up with a deafening roar.

This earthen wall was not only thick and wide, but its surface was also covered with a rich flow of Earth Release chakra, making it exceptionally sturdy.

Puff puff……

The dense barrage of sand bullets slammed into the earthen wall, producing a dull thud.

The high-speed spinning sand bullets shattered upon impact with the solid earthen wall, sending up clouds of dust, but only leaving a dense array of shallow pits on the wall's surface, unable to shake its foundation at all.

Those sand projectiles that tried to bypass the earthen wall were blocked or deflected by the wall's enormous curvature.

Sasuke Umino's figure rose as the earthen wall ascended, just in time to avoid the sand bullet attack below.

The scattered sand and gravel that splashed around him were easily blocked by the sharkskin that was coiled on his shoulders and back before it even touched the hem of his clothes.

Having blocked the attack, Umino Sasuke and the Fudo Joint Ninja Team made no offensive moves, simply watching Bunpuku Monk quietly, as if waiting for his next move.

Seeing the increasingly critical battle situation on both flanks, especially the Sand Ninja on the left flank being pushed back step by step by Hatake Sagumo and the combined ninjutsu, the defensive line was in danger of collapsing at any moment.

The last trace of hesitation in his eyes was replaced by resolve: "Shukaku, I'm troubling you again."

"Hmph! You talkative little monk, watch me!"

hum~
An unimaginable chakra, filled with violence and destruction, emanated from Monk Fenfu, and a huge tornado formed around him amidst a raging sandstorm.

As the sandstorm subsided, a colossal object appeared in the center of the battlefield.

It was a gigantic raccoon-shaped monster, over forty meters tall, made entirely of yellow sand.

Its size and appearance are almost identical to the legendary One-Tailed Shukaku, except that it is slightly smaller and the purple curse marks on its body are blurry and not as clear and ferocious as the real Shukaku. However, this does not affect the terrifying pressure it exudes. This is the complete tailed beast form of the perfect Jinchūriki, Bunpuku.

"Roar--"

The giant sand raccoon roared to the sky, its sound waves carrying sand and gravel that crashed in all directions. Its enormous form, like a mountain, stood tall on the desert, instantly drawing the attention of the entire battlefield.

"It's Bunpuku-sama in his tailed beast form!"

"He's fully transformed into a tailed beast! We're saved!" "In the desert, Master Bunpuku is invincible. Not only can we defend against him, but we might even be able to turn the tide and hunt down the Konoha ninja!"

On both flanks of the Sand Village, the Sand ninja, whose morale had been low after being defeated by Konoha, were now cheering wildly as if they had received a shot of adrenaline.

They seemed to see a glimmer of hope for a comeback, and their resistance became even more tenacious.

Despite the fierce attacks from Konoha, which even became more ferocious upon seeing the Tailed Beasts, the Sand Ninja firmly believed that as long as Master Bunpuku broke through the middle lane, victory would ultimately belong to them.

Faced with this colossal tailed beast that could make any Kage-level powerhouse tremble, Umino Sasuke's eyes narrowed, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Samehada Chakra Transfer!

With a low shout, Samehada, which was coiled around his body, opened its mouth wide, and a pure and enormous amount of chakra surged into his body like a torrent.

He quickly formed hand seals, his movements so fast they left afterimages.

"Earth Release: Gangli Style Technique!"

Suddenly, Umino Sasuke opened his mouth and spat out a huge amount of clay. This clay expanded in the wind, rolled up the yellow sand and rocks, and quickly solidified and shaped itself.

Boom! ! !
Soon, a colossal object, over thirty meters tall and composed of hard rock, yellow sand, and clay, rose from the ground.

This giant of rock and earth, with its bulging muscles and ferocious appearance, exudes an immense sense of power.

Such immense weight instantly crushed the massive earthen wall beneath its feet, causing it to crumble inch by inch and finally collapse with a deafening roar.

The rock giant stood firmly on the desert, facing the sand raccoon opposite him.

"What kind of monster is that?"

"Konoha has giant beasts too?!"

"Impossible! It definitely can't beat Master Fenfu!"

The Sand Ninja's newly nascent hope was instantly overshadowed by the sudden appearance of the giant earth and rock.

They weren't worried that Fenfu couldn't defeat this rocky obstacle, but rather they were terrified of how the battle would unfold.

Judging from this situation, the White Blood Demon of Konoha clearly intends to use this rock giant to hold back Master Bunpuku. If Master Bunpuku is held back and unable to provide timely support to the flanks, given the current precarious state of the flanks, the Sand Village ninja army will likely not be able to hold out for long before being completely defeated by the Konoha ninja army. Even if Master Bunpuku defeats the rock giant, he will probably have no choice but to retreat in the face of the Konoha army that is surrounded on three sides.

With eyes blazing with fury, Sha Baoyue roared hoarsely toward Monk Fenfu, "Master Fenfu! Attack with all your might and crush them! The left wing can't hold on any longer! If this drags on, we're all doomed!"

Monk Fenfu was compassionate, not without wisdom. On the contrary, he was one of the few wise men in the Land of Wind. He naturally understood what Sandstorm Peak's cry meant. A trace of anxiety flashed in his huge beast eyes. Without further hesitation, he finally launched a powerful attack first.

The enormous sand raccoon opened its massive maw, and a torrent of wind-attribute chakra gathered and compressed to its limit within it.

"Wind Style: Air Training Bullet!"

boom! ! !
A massive whirlwind, several meters in diameter, tore through the air, emitting a sharp, piercing roar, and hurtled towards the rock giant at an astonishing speed.

The penetrating power and destructive force of this attack, amplified by the desert environment, are almost comparable to a regular Tailed Beast Ball.

Faced with an attack powerful enough to pierce through mountains and rocks, the Earth Giant controlled by Umino Sasuke did not dodge. Its enormous size made it impossible for it to evade the high-speed attack.

The rock giant crossed its arms to protect its head where Umino Sasuke was standing. Its massive body leaned slightly forward, and instead of retreating, it charged forward, fiercely meeting the air bullet head-on.

bang——

Click! ! !

The training bullet struck the rock giant's crossed arms squarely. The terrifying penetrating power instantly blasted a huge crater in the giant's hard arms, sending countless fragments of rock and clay flying. The enormous impact caused the rock giant's heavy body to stagger back half a step, carving a deep furrow in the sand.

Meanwhile, Sasuke Umino, standing atop the rock giant, placed one hand on the giant's body, and the immense chakra transmitted from Samehada within his body surged forth.

hum~
A yellowish-brown chakra light flowed across the giant's body, and the crater blasted out by the Sky Bullet began to writhe as if it were alive. The shattered rocks and clay quickly filled and merged the crater, restoring it to its original state in the blink of an eye.

The giant let out a silent roar, braving the lingering shockwave pressure, and continued to stride forward with an aura of crushing everything in its path, covering ten meters with each step as it charged towards the sand raccoon behemoth.

"Roar!" The sand raccoon practiced shooting air, spitting out bullets repeatedly.

boom! boom! boom!
The massive body of the rock giant became the perfect target, constantly being bombarded by air-penetrating bullets, which blasted large holes in its body, hindering its advance time and time again, and even causing it to stagger backward.

But each time, Umino Sasuke calmly infused chakra into the giant, and the damage on the giant's body healed rapidly at a visible speed. It was like an indestructible rock fortress, unwavering, closing the distance with the sand monster step by step.

Finally, after withstanding nearly ten practice shots, the Rock Giant charged up to the Sand Raccoon. Its giant fist, made of rock and clay, slammed down on the Sand Raccoon's head with the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Although the sand raccoon is larger, stronger, and faster, the monk Bunpuku is not good at close combat. The tailed beast transformation gave him great power, but it could not instantly give him top-notch fighting skills.

Faced with the simple, brutal, yet powerful punch from the Earth Giant, the Sand Raccoon seemed somewhat flustered, hastily raising its massive sand claws to block.

Bang! ! !
The dull, thunderous impact echoed across the battlefield.

The sand claws were smashed, sending sand flying everywhere, and the sand raccoon's massive body was violently shaken by the impact.

The rock giant, having gained the upper hand, pressed its advantage relentlessly. Its fists, like massive battering rams, attacked the sand raccoon with overwhelming force, employing simple moves such as grabbing, grappling, throwing, and smashing. It relied entirely on its terrifying weight and defensive capabilities to engage in the most primal form of grappling.

Despite its superior strength and speed, the Sand Fox was constantly on the defensive by the rock giant, which clung to it like glue. Its massive tail swept across the giant, and its sharp claws tore at it, leaving deep furrows and scratches on the rock giant's body. Several times, it even nearly overturned the giant. However, thanks to its powerful regenerative abilities and Sasuke Umino's precise chakra control, the rock giant was always able to quickly regain its footing and tightly entangle the Sand Fox, preventing it from escaping.

Two colossal creatures rolled and fought in the center of the battlefield. Every collision caused the earth to tremble, and every roll stirred up towering dust.

Yellow sand filled the sky, like two moving mountain peaks engaged in the most primitive and violent struggle.

The entire central battlefield was turned upside down by them.

Time flew by amidst the fierce battle.

Under the personal attack of Kage-level powerhouse Sagumo Hatake, and the continuous bombardment of the Blade Tool Squad and the combined water, lightning, and fire ninjutsu, the Sand Village's left wing was finally on the verge of collapse.

A huge gap was finally torn open by Hatake Sagumo, and Konoha ninjas poured in like a tide. The first line of defense on the left flank of the Sand Village was directly dismantled, and they were plunged into a desperate situation of fighting each other!
Although Monk Fenfu was entangled, his senses remained intact. He clearly perceived the tragic state of the left flank, heard the desperate cries of the Sand Ninja, and saw the Sand Tanuki's enormous beastly eyes filled with anxiety, pain, and deep self-reproach.

"Shouhe! This can't go on!" Monk Fenfu's consciousness was filled with helplessness in his mental space.

"Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!" Shukaku stomped around in his consciousness, his massive tail whipping up illusory dust. "You're wasting my power! Look at the lousy fighting you're doing! You can't even handle a broken rock golem! Get out of my way! Let me handle this! It's infuriating!"

Seeing the dire situation outside and hearing the screams of the Sand Ninja suffering under Konoha's blades, Monk Bunpuku finally closed his eyes in anguish: "Amitabha, Shukaku, I beg you, please minimize the killing..."

"Shut up, I know, I know." Shukaku growled impatiently, but deep down, there seemed to be a hint of seriousness in his voice.

outside world.

The enormous sand raccoon suddenly froze.

boom! ! !
A surge of chakra, far more violent, ferocious, and pure than before, erupted forth.

The sand raccoon's body, which was already over forty meters tall, expanded and grew taller again, instantly breaking through fifty meters. The originally blurry purple curse marks on its body suddenly became incredibly clear, flowing across its body made of yellow sand as if they were alive.

Its entire form became more ferocious and oppressive, no longer exuding the compassion and struggle of Bunpuku, but rather the pure wildness and destructive aura of Shukaku.
