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

Chapter 350 Accepting Him as a Dog
"What is this?!"

The Third Mizukage's pupils dilated instantly as he stared intently at the jewel, an uncontrollable surge of desire and greed originating from the depths of his soul.

He could clearly feel that this precious pearl contained unimaginable pure energy, especially the flowing white patterns within it, which emitted an icy aura that caused his Ice Release chakra to resonate and tremble intensely.

"Ice Release: Super Magic Mirror Ice Crystal!"

Sasuke Umino gave his enemies no time to think. He continuously formed hand seals in the middle, infusing his chakra and spiritual energy into the chakra core.

"Om-!"

The chakra core suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant white light.

The white patterns seemed to come alive, shining brightly, and a pure, vast, and seemingly ancient ice-covered aura of extreme cold erupted from the center of the pearl.

Click! Click! Click—

The chilling sound of ice crystals condensing rang out in rapid succession, far exceeding the scale before.

Enormous walls of ice, incredibly thick and radiating an even more chilling aura than the Third Mizukage's ice mirrors, rose from the ground, their coverage so vast that they encompassed most of the ice mirrors previously created by the Third Mizukage.

The newly formed ice wall was crystal clear, with a faint white halo flowing across its surface. The intense cold made it sting the breath of the Shadow Guard members who approached, and their eyebrows and hair instantly frosted over.

The temperature on the entire battlefield plummeted once again!

"impossible?!"

"My God! What kind of treasure is this?! It can actually make Ice Release so powerful?!"

"His ice mirror is even larger and colder than Lord Mizukage's! How is that possible?!"

"Could it be that the Umino clan's Ice Release technique has truly surpassed that of Mizuki?!"

The mockery and feigned composure on the faces of the Shadow Guard members instantly crumbled, replaced by boundless fear and unbelievable despair.

They stared at the chakra core radiating tri-colored light as if they were seeing a divine artifact of the Six Paths. How could this treasure alone cause such a qualitative leap in the user's Ice Release power, even surpassing the Third Mizukage who had been immersed in this art for decades?!

This completely overturned their understanding!
The Third Mizukage trembled violently, his face turning from white to red and then to green, his eyes filled with greed. He stared intently at the chakra core, the greed and heat in his eyes almost turning into tangible flames.

His heart was pounding wildly. If he could obtain this treasure, his Ice Release would be greatly amplified. Then, what would become of the White Blood Demon, Konoha, or the balance of the Five Great Nations? He would be able to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world and become a being of the same power as the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju!

"This treasure! It should be mine!" The Third Mizukage's voice became hoarse and distorted with excitement and greed.

However, Sasuke Umino didn't give him any chance to covet it.

"Secret Technique: Mirror Instantaneous Movement!"

Sasuke Umino's body instantly merged into a huge new ice mirror behind him. With the support of the immense energy of the chakra core and the pure ice release power, his Mirror Instantaneous Body was faster and its trajectory was even more unpredictable.

He further discovered that this Mirror Instantaneous Body Technique was completely the opposite of the Nara clan's Shadow Technique. Although both involved the use of Yin Release and Light Release, the Nara clan's Shadow Technique was more focused on materialization, while Minazuki's Mirror Instantaneous Body Technique was more focused on the intangibility of light particles.

Both are the ultimate applications of Yin Release, and both are combined with Light Release to some extent, only in different directions.

Swish!
A flash of white light flashed.

Sasuke Umino appeared as if by teleportation, without warning, beside the Third Mizukage, who had just lost his composure due to greed.

They were so close, almost within reach.

"Spiral pills!"

In the center of Sasuke Umino's right palm, a highly compressed, azure-blue, rotating chakra sphere instantly took shape.

There was no need for hand seals; it was launched instantly and struck the Third Mizukage squarely in the back, where he was completely unprepared.

"Ice Release: Rapid Sealing Armor!" The Third Mizukage was, after all, a Kage-level powerhouse. At the critical moment of life and death, he unleashed an extremely strong combat instinct. In a haste, a thick layer of ice crystal armor instantly condensed on his back.

The Rasengan slammed into the ice armor!
Click!

boom--

The thick ice armor could only withstand the terrifying tearing force of the Rasengan for less than half a breath before it shattered with a bang.

The remaining power of the Rasengan slammed into the Third Mizukage's back like a heavy hammer.

"puff--!"

The Third Mizukage let out an extremely shrill scream, his body flying forward like a spinning afterimage as if struck by a high-speed train.

It drew a vacuum column in the air and slammed heavily onto the ice wall several meters away.

"Mizukage-sama!"

"Protect Lord Mizukage! Fight him to the death!"

The few remaining members of the Shadow Guard were enraged and completely insane. They rushed towards Umino Sasuke without regard for their own safety, unleashing all sorts of ninjutsu and hidden weapons in an attempt to buy the Mizukage a last chance to breathe.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot." Sasuke Umino's voice was cold and ruthless.

His figure merged into the ice mirror once more, unleashing the Mirror Instantaneous Body Technique.

Swish! Swish! Swish—

Within the chakra-enhanced ice crystal realm of the Demon Mirror, Umino Sasuke moved as if he were using the Flying Thunder God Technique, his figure flickering between the giant ice mirrors, each appearance accompanied by a deadly flash of cold light.

Each flash appeared precisely beside or behind a member of the Shadow Guard, taking away the lives of one elite member of the Mist Shadows.

With their throats slit, their hearts pierced, or their heads severed, these loyal Shadow Guard members were like lambs to the slaughter under the overwhelming speed and power, and with the home-field advantage of the Magic Mirror Ice Crystal, unable to put up any decent resistance.

In just a few breaths, they all fell into pools of blood, shedding their last drop of blood for their Water Shadow.

At this moment, the Third Mizukage, whose life had been briefly delayed by the Shadow Guards, was struggling to get up from the pool of blood. A large part of his back had collapsed, indicating that his spine had been severely injured. Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs kept gushing from his mouth, and his breath was extremely weak. Even his Ice Release technique could not keep his wounds frozen.

However, his eyes burned with a final madness and resentment, and his hands struggled to form one complex hand seal after another. A massive amount of ice-style chakra, carrying an aura of destruction, was being relentlessly extracted from his broken body and continuously gathered.

Clearly, he wanted to play his ultimate card and turn the tide of the battle.

After dealing with the Shadow Guards, Sasuke Umino's cold gaze instantly locked onto the Third Mizukage, who was forming hand seals. He naturally sensed the terrifying, destructive energy gathering in the Third Mizukage's hands.

"Then let's settle this with Ice Release!"

Sasuke Umino unleashed six hand seals in the middle of his body in a single second, creating afterimages, and once again activated his chakra core.

The Third Mizukage's hand seals were also quite fast, but compared to Umino Sasuke, he was clearly no match. Both of them were about to unleash S-rank Ice Release techniques, but with the energy support of his chakra core and his ultra-fast hand seals, Umino Sasuke's technique speed clearly surpassed that of the heavily injured Third Mizukage.

The two, separated by the shattered ice crystal battlefield and the pervasive stench of blood and cold, finally engaged in a final clash of forbidden techniques.

Time seemed to become sticky at this moment.

Blood kept spilling from the Third Mizukage's mouth, but his eyes were unusually bright, and every hand seal he made was extremely firm.

Sasuke Umino's hand seals were incredibly fluid, with his chakra core floating in his upper palm, its three colors swirling around it. The white light, in particular, was dazzling and provided him with a continuous stream of pure ice-style power and a vast amount of chakra.

"Ice Release: Nine Dragons Binding Kill!"

The Third Mizukage roared and clasped his hands together.

Roar--!
The earth-shaking roar of the dragon echoed through the sky.

Nine ferocious ice dragons, even larger and more refined than the one that had previously annihilated the Fourth Raikage's successor, A, and whose entire bodies were composed of deep blue ice, spiraled and rose into the air from around the Third Mizukage.

Each ice dragon was lifelike, with scales and claws flying, exuding a terrifying aura that could freeze everything and shatter space, its power reaching the peak of its life.

Nine ice dragons, carrying the power to destroy everything, rushed towards Umino Sasuke to strangle him!

Almost at the same time.

"Ice Release: Nine Dragons Binding Kill!"

Sasuke Umino's cold voice rang out, and the hand seals in the middle were completed. At the same time, his upper hands pressed down hard on the outer chakra core.

"Liberation of External Alchemy!"

hum-

The chakra core burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling white light.

The entire orb seemed to transform into a miniature, icy full moon, and the extremely pure and vast power of ice release was frantically extracted and injected into Umino Sasuke's technique!
Roar! Roar! Roar—!
Nine even more awe-inspiring and resounding dragon roars seemed to come from the ancient ice plains. Nine giant ice dragons, nearly a quarter larger than the Third Mizukage's ice dragon, with crystal-clear bodies like diamonds and radiating an extreme coldness of absolute zero, soared into the sky from behind Umino Sasuke.

Their forms are more perfect, their speed is faster, and wherever they go, even space seems to be frozen and distorted.

With the almost inexhaustible energy infused by the chakra core, the power of these nine ice dragons had reached a terrifying level that was enough to threaten or even severely injure the tailed beasts.

Rumble, rumble—!
Eighteen terrifying ice dragons, representing the strongest ice-style techniques of both sides, stood at the center of the battlefield.

A deafening collision!

Words cannot describe the magnificence and devastation of this moment.

Ice shards swept across the sky and earth like the most violent sandstorm.

The deafening sounds of impact, explosions, and the agonizing cries of the shattering ice dragon mingled together, creating a symphony of destruction.

The terrifying shockwave, mixed with extremely cold freezing air, spread wildly in a ring in all directions. The ground was scraped up, frozen, and pulverized layer by layer. Hidden Mist ninjas who were close by, whether they were injured and lying on the ground or trying to escape, were instantly frozen into ice sculptures and then turned into dust in the next wave of impact.

The entire west coast of Wochao Village seemed to be facing an apocalyptic judgment of absolute zero.

Strangling!

Biting! Collision!

Annihilation—

The nine colossal ice dragons summoned by the Third Mizukage with all his might were no match for the nine enormous ice dragons created by Sasuke Umino, which were catalyzed by the infinite energy of his chakra core.

They seemed powerless!

The Third Mizukage's ice dragons shattered and exploded one by one in the fierce battle.

Meanwhile, Sasuke Umino's ice dragons, though six were shattered by the opponent's desperate attack, still retained three relatively intact forms. With the residual power to crush everything, they tore through the chaotic energy storm and mercilessly slaughtered the Third Mizukage, whose chakra was exhausted, and the last few terrified Kirigakure soldiers nearby.

"Protect Lord Mizukage!"

"Run, sir!"

"Do not--"

The final scream abruptly ceased.

The Third Mizukage watched in despair as the three ice dragons descended, his eyes filled with resentment, bitterness, and a hint of disbelief. He used his last bit of chakra to condense several thick, massive ice shields in front of him.

Click! Click! Click—

Faced with absolute power, all defenses are as fragile as paper. The ice shield was instantly shattered, and the raging ice dragon's body slammed into the Third Mizukage and the Hidden Mist ninja around him.

puff!

boom--

The sounds of bones shattering, flesh freezing, and bodies twisting and disintegrating mingled together, and the last few Hidden Mist ninjas instantly turned into ice shards and minced meat.

The Third Mizukage's body was tossed high into the air like a broken doll, his bones shattered, the ice crystal armor covering his body completely disintegrated, and blood gushed from all over his body like a fountain, only to freeze rapidly in the extreme cold.

He finally fell from the massive crater created by the impact of the ice wall, taking one last deep look at the chakra core radiating three-colored divine light. His eyes were filled with endless greed and regret. Then everything went black, and he completely lost consciousness, crashing heavily onto the cold frozen ground like a kite with a broken string.

All the surviving Hidden Mist ninja, whether they were seriously injured and lying on the ground or lucky enough to hide in a corner, focused their gazes intently on this.

The Mizukage has actually been defeated?!

In the Land of Whirlpools, a place shrouded in moisture and which should have been his absolute home turf, the Mizukage was defeated by the White Blood Demon after unleashing the ultimate secret technique of the Mizuki clan!
And it was a complete and utter crushing defeat!

Not only in Water Release, but even in Ice Release, which Mizuki was so proud of, the opponent used the same method against him, using a stronger and more terrifying Ice Release technique to shatter all of the Mizukage's pride.

"Lord Mizukage lost?!"

"Impossible, this must be a hallucination!"

"Even the Mizukage was defeated, so wouldn't we be—"

"Run away!!"

After a brief period of deathly silence came utter collapse.

The despair brought about by the collapse of faith far surpassed the fear of being stabbed by swords. The remaining Hidden Mist ninjas let out terrified, broken screams, and their last shred of will to resist was extinguished in an instant, like a candle flame blown away in the cold wind.

They ignored all orders and disregarded their comrades, abandoning their armor and weapons, and fled in all directions, in any direction that seemed to lead them away from this hellish place.

"Run!" Suigetsu Hozuki's fat body burst forth with astonishing speed. He was almost the first to react and the first Kirigakure high-ranking official to turn and run.

Forget about camaraderie and the dignity of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen; in the face of death, all of that was bullshit. He just wanted to live and stay as far away from that white devil as possible!
"Lord Fuguki! Wait for us!" Several Kirigakure chunin instinctively wanted to follow this "powerful one" for protection.

However, Suigetsu Hobuki only cared about escaping, and he even found the Kirigakure ninja blocking his way annoying.

"Jizo! Stop the watermelon peel!" Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish kept running, abandoning the fight against Might Guy with Pipa Juzo.

"Damn it!" Juzo Biwa wielded his guillotine with incredible speed and precision, but he was no match for Might Guy's attacks and had already suffered multiple burns.

He was so enraged that the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon used him as a shield that he immediately started cursing.

In the instant he was distracted and started cursing.

"Youth! Burn, morning peacock!" Might Guy's eyes burned with fierce flames, and his speed increased to another level.

The overwhelming fiery fist pressure instantly converged, transforming into a condensed, almost tangible, crimson torrent that slammed into the gap in Pipa Juzo's defense.

puff!

boom--!
The decapitation sword was blasted out of his hand by the violent fist.

The chest of the loquat was instantly pierced, and the scorching heat instantly carbonized the flesh and bones, leaving a huge charred hole.

"Ugh! Pufferfish demon! You'll die a horrible death!"

Pipa Juzo's eyes were filled with endless resentment and unwillingness. He stared intently at the departing figure of Suigetsu Hobutsuki, used his last strength to utter a curse, and then his body went limp and he breathed his last.

Suigetsu Fuguki didn't even turn his head. Taking advantage of the moment when Kisame Hoshino was distracting Might Guy before his death, he unleashed another burst of chakra under his feet. Although his body was fat, he was extremely agile.

It transformed into a nimble, fat man and fled desperately towards Wochao Village.

At this moment, Umino Sasuke ignored the small fry scattering in all directions and instead focused his attention on the fat figure that was frantically fleeing.

He teleported to the Third Mizukage's side in an instant, and quickly formed hand seals in the middle.

Ice Release: Crystal Coffin!

The pure Ice Release chakra, mixed with the immense energy provided by the chakra core, rapidly spread and condensed on the unconscious Third Mizukage.

A thick, crystalline layer of ice, radiating an absolute zero chill, completely encased the Third Mizukage within, forming a massive ice coffin.

Inside the ice layer, vibrant emerald green chakra patterns flowed, constantly maintaining the extremely faint life signs of the Third Mizukage and ensuring his "activity".

"Kage-level Ice Release bloodline material, can't be wasted." A hint of satisfaction flashed in Umino Sasuke's eyes.

The Rubber Melt Release puppet platform has already demonstrated formidable combat power. If the Third Mizukage, a master of Ice Release and a seasoned veteran, could also be transformed into a perfect puppet, its value would be immeasurable, undoubtedly adding another trump card to the deck.

After dealing with the most important prisoner, Umino Sasuke turned his gaze back to the direction where Suigetsu Hozuki had disappeared and immediately gave chase.

"Pufferfish Demon! We're old friends, why are you running so fast?"

Swish!
Umino Sasuke's figure kept flashing by, and soon he blocked Suigetsu Hobutsuki's path.

"What?!" Suigetsu Hobutsuki suddenly stopped in his tracks, his fat face instantly drained of color, large beads of sweat mixed with ice dust rolled down his face, and his eyes were filled with extreme fear.

It's that white blood demon again!
The shadow of the land of rivers resurfaced in my mind once more.

"Demigod! It's been a long time!" Suigetsu Hozuki's voice trembled.

He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, but his gaze involuntarily drifted to the large sword wrapped in white bandages in Umino Sasuke's hand. It was his former partner, the symbol of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but now it had become the enemy's weapon. Intense fear and greed churned within him.

"Pufferfish Demon, I already let you go last time in the Land of Rivers." Umino Sasuke's tone was calm, with a hint of sarcasm. "Today, you'll stay."

"Damn it!" A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, and he abruptly shook his head, "Secret Technique: Thousand Needles!"

In an instant, his fluffy, seaweed-like red hair hardened and lengthened, transforming into countless fine, hair-like strands that, like a rain of pear blossoms, shot towards Umino Sasuke with a piercing whooshing sound.

This move has an extremely wide range, is extremely fast, and is very effective for surprise attacks; ordinary Jonin would find it very difficult to dodge.

However, Sasuke Umino didn't even form any hand seals.

With a thought, his Yang Release chakra surged within him.

"Ninjutsu: Needle Jizo!"

His long black hair instantly grew wildly, hardened, and stood on end! Like countless incredibly tough black needles, it intertwined in front of him to form an impenetrable black hair shield.

Ding! Ding! Ding—

The red senbon arrows fired by Suigetsu Hozuki were deflected and broken as if hitting an iron wall, unable to penetrate even a fraction of Umino Sasuke's defense.

"What?! How do you know that too?!" Suigetsu Hozuki was shocked. Not only was the opponent's Ice Release incredibly strong, but he was also so proficient in this unorthodox hair technique?!

"Just a trivial trick. Let me show you what the real Yang Release Hair Technique is!" Umino Sasuke sneered, forming hand seals in the middle.

"Ninja Art: Lion's Mane Technique!"

boom!
Umino Sasuke's hair seemed to come alive, instantly swelling and extending into dozens of black whips as tough as steel wires. With a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, they strangled and lashed at Suigetsu Hozuki, their power far exceeding Suigetsu Hozuki's Needle-Headed Senbon!

"Thousand needles!" Suigetsu Hozuki attempted to sneak up on Umino Sasuke's feet from below.

However, Sasuke Umino's lion-like mane seemed to have eyes, and part of it lashed the ground hard.

boom! boom! boom--

The hard stone floor was shattered by the force, and the hair that had just pierced the ground was instantly shattered and blown away by the violent force.

The other part of the whip continued its momentum, coiling around the limbs of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon like a nimble venomous snake.

"Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique!" Suigetsu Hozuki was terrified, his hands frantically forming hand seals, and a giant chakra water shark roared out, barely managing to break free from the whip's entanglement.

"Damn it!" A fierce glint flashed in Suigetsu Hobutsuki's eyes. His obese body erupted with a large amount of chakra, and his hands formed hand seals at an even faster pace.

"Water Release: Shark Bullet Technique!"

A super water shark, several times larger than the previous one, lifelike, with ferocious fangs and radiating terrifying chakra fluctuations, charged fiercely towards Umino Sasuke with an all-consuming aura.

This is one of the strongest single-target water jutsu he can unleash, with power approaching that of a regular S-rank ultimate technique!
