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

Chapter 352 Invincible Raikage
The Third Raikage descended like a god, landing heavily on the battered deck of the "Thundercloud".

His massive, mountain-like body exuded a suffocating sense of oppression. His bronze skin gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen in the afterglow of the setting sun, and his short, needle-like hair stood on end, revealing the boiling rage within him.

His sharp, hawk-like eyes swept across the battlefield, but his pupils suddenly contracted. The scene that came into view sent a chill down his spine and filled him with unbelievable shock, even though he was a veteran of countless battles and had a heart as hard as iron.

On the west coast, this landing beach has now been transformed into a frozen hell.

The shattered, enormous ice mirror covered most of the battlefield, the ice layer covered with solidified dark red bloodstains, and the corpses of countless Hidden Mist ninjas, some frozen, some torn apart, in various postures, their deaths gruesome.

The Third Mizukage was even frozen in a crystal coffin, which greatly alarmed the Third Raikage.

Turning our gaze back to the sea, the horrific state of the Cloud Hidden Fleet was even more shocking.

The once invincible fleet that dominated the northern seas is now reduced to its flagship "Thundercloud" and a few transport ships used as shields, barely clinging to life.

Countless twisted shipwrecks, burning debris, and the corpses of Cloud Village ninjas floated on the sea, thick smoke mingling with the stench of blood, permeating the air with the scent of death.

The once proud 800 elite landing ninja troops are now reduced to just a few dozen wounded and exhausted figures on the flagship.

"What's going on?!" The Third Raikage's voice was deep and rumbling like thunder, each word containing the fury of an impending thunderbolt, causing the surviving Cloud Village ninja to tremble violently.

His sharp gaze instantly locked onto his son, Xiao Ai.

Despite the excruciating pain and weakness, Xiao Ai broke free from the guards' support, knelt on one knee, and cried out in a hoarse, indignant voice, "Father! We've fallen into Konoha's trap! He exploited Kirigakure's desire to seize the Uzumaki treasure, sowing discord and causing us to fight each other! He then struck last, reaping the benefits! The Kirigakure army has been completely wiped out, and so have we..."

"What?!" The Third Raikage clenched his fist instantly, his knuckles cracking like popping beans, and violent lightning chakra overflowed uncontrollably from his body, making a terrifying hissing sound.

Eight hundred elite Cloud Village soldiers, including many Jonin-level core members, along with a massive fleet, were almost completely annihilated by the Umino clan of the newly opened Uzuki clan in the small Land of Whirlpools?!
An unprecedented surge of rage and heartache pounded in his heart.

His gaze toward Xiao Ai was filled with disappointment and sternness: "Is this the result of your command?! The entire fleet and landing force were almost completely wiped out?!"

"Lord Raikage! This isn't entirely Lord Aiolia's fault!" A Jonin with a missing arm, despite his pain and weakness, spoke up excitedly, "The Leaf Village's Iron Wall is extremely cunning; we and Kirigakure were kept in the dark! Fortunately, we completed the mission at the cost of our lives, and we've obtained the Uzumaki Clan's Scroll of Sealing!"

The Third Raikage looked in the direction the finger was pointing and saw the huge scroll that the guards were protecting. The powerful sealing aura emanating from the ancient scroll acted like a shot of adrenaline, calming his furious emotions slightly.

Obtaining the sealing techniques inherited from the Uzumaki clan, especially the advanced sealing techniques that can suppress the rampage of tailed beasts, is of paramount importance to the Hidden Cloud Village. This is indeed the most important strategic objective of this trip.

"Hoo..." The Third Raikage took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the destructive impulse that was about to burst forth.

Such a heavy sacrifice, only to obtain such a sealing scroll, the price was so heavy that it suffocated him. His gaze, like two tangible bolts of lightning, pierced through the smoke and cold air that filled the sea, and locked onto the three-headed, six-armed figure standing on the waves in the distance.

"Konoha's Iron Wall! What skillful tactics and cunning! To possess such cunning and strength at such a young age, no wonder he can stir up trouble in the ninja world!"

The Third Raikage's voice, like rolling thunder, resounded across the sea and sky, "I heard that Konoha has produced a young junior skilled in strategy. Seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved!"

Then, his voice suddenly rose, filled with a ferocious fighting spirit and killing intent: "I just don't know if your so-called 'Iron Wall of Konoha' is truly formidable or just an empty reputation!"

The words have not yet fallen.

"Thunder Escape Chakra Mode!"

boom--!
A terrifying lightning bolt, ten or even a hundred times stronger than Aiolia's, suddenly erupted from the Third Raikage.

A blinding blue flash of lightning instantly engulfed his figure, transforming into a raging storm of thunder. The air was ionized, crackling and popping, forming visible, twisted arcs of electricity.

A destructive pressure that sent shivers down one's spine swept across the entire battlefield like a tsunami.

"Om-!"

The deck beneath the Third Raikage's feet shattered with a deafening roar. He transformed into a blue lightning bolt that tore through space, traversing a hundred meters of sea surface in the blink of an eye. His speed was so extreme that it created a long-lasting vacuum tunnel behind him, his target being Umino Sasuke.

"Well done!" Sasuke Umino remained fearless, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Faced with this universally acknowledged pinnacle of taijutsu in the ninja world, he also wanted to weigh his own limits.

The muscles in his arms bulged and bulged instantly, the veins under his skin stood out like dragons, and his chakra gathered wildly.

"Strange power!"

There were no fancy tricks, just a pure clash of forces.

Sasuke Umino's fist, imbued with terrifying power capable of shattering mountains, slammed fiercely towards the incoming blue lightning.

The Third Raikage, encased in his lightning armor, also delivered a straight punch without reservation.

boom--!
A deafening, terrifying explosion resounded.

At the point where their fists collided, space itself seemed to distort, and a violent shockwave exploded out in a spherical shape, instantly pushing aside the seawater beneath their feet and forming a huge depression tens of meters in diameter. The edges of the depression churned up a ring of giant waves several meters high.

With a slight sway, the ice beneath Umino Sasuke's feet instantly turned to dust.

The Third Raikage appeared amidst the lightning, standing steadily at the bottom of the sunken seawater pit, a clear look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

"Impressive power!" The Third Raikage's voice came through the lightning, filled with a hint of solemnity. "Konoha's Iron Wall truly lives up to its name!"

Sasuke Unno was even more shocked!

His current monstrous strength, after being deeply tempered by the Yang Release technique of bone marrow and amplified by the external chakra core, has long surpassed Tsunade's peak level.

In the realm of pure power, he was confident that no one in the ninja world could match him!

However, the Third Raikage, relying solely on his physical strength and the explosive amplification of his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, actually managed to withstand a punch with enough force to shatter the bones of a top-tier summoning beast?!

"Is this the physique that can fight the Eight-Tails Gyūki hand-to-hand? It's terrifying!" Alarm bells rang in Umino Sasuke's mind.

"Again!" Umino Sasuke shouted, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"Monstrous Strength - Six-Armed Asura Fist!"

boom--!
Sasuke Umino's advantage of having three heads and six arms was instantly brought to its fullest potential.

All six arms simultaneously transformed into a blurry afterimage, each punch containing a monstrous force capable of shattering mountains and splitting the earth, the wind from the punches tearing through the air and emitting a piercing shriek.

Six terrifying shockwaves from the fists, coming from all directions and from all angles, crashed towards the Third Raikage, who was enveloped in blue lightning, like a storm.

With all six arms extended, their superhuman strength was amplified!

Faced with this overwhelming barrage of powerful punches, the Third Raikage's eyes flashed even brighter. He unleashed both fists simultaneously, moving so fast that only two blue streaks of light could be seen as he continuously parried and blocked.

However, the coverage and frequency of the six-armed monster's strength were simply too dense and violent!
boom! boom! boom--!
"Hah!" The Third Raikage roared, crossing his arms across his chest and unleashing his full power of Lightning Release chakra for defense.

Boom——!
Six terrifying, powerful fist shadows struck his crossed arms almost simultaneously.

The Third Raikage's body was struck as if by a comet, the immense force sending him slid backward.

A huge trench, nearly 100 meters long and several meters deep, was carved out of the sea surface.

The waves were thrown high into the air, forming two spectacular walls of water.

Wow!

When the Third Raikage finally regained his footing and stood firmly on the sea surface.

The lightning still shone brightly on his crossed arms as he blocked, but the muscles in his arms trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he had endured a tremendous impact.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

The cheers on the Cloud Village flagship came to an abrupt halt, and all the Cloud Village ninja stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

In their minds, the invincible Raikage, who was like a god of war, was actually suppressed and blasted back by that three-headed, six-armed Konoha Iron Wall in a pure clash of strength?!
"impossible?!"

"Someone's power actually surpasses that of Lord Raikage?!"

"This guy has three heads and six arms, is he really human?"

Panic gripped the hearts of the Cloud Village ninja once more. The flame of hope that had just been ignited by the arrival of the Third Raikage was as if doused with a bucket of ice water.

On the other hand, the Umino ninja army, whether it was the Uzumaki clan members inside the submarine or the Umino flying squadron in the air, instantly erupted in deafening cheers.

The previous worries and fears about the Third Raikage's reputation were now replaced by immense pride and confidence. The power displayed by Sasuke Umino greatly boosted their morale.

However, at the heart of the battlefield, Sasuke Umino was experiencing a turbulent storm in his heart, and alarm bells were rising.

"Damn it! This old guy's defense is way too abnormal!" Umino Sasuke was shocked.

That combined attack from six arms only managed to knock this old guy back?! And he didn't even show the slightest sign of injury!

Strength has always been one of his greatest assets, and this old guy is known as the strongest spear and the strongest shield. Attack and defense are his strengths!

His strongest power had only barely given him a slight advantage? Just how terrifying were this old man's attacks and defenses?!
As expected, the Third Raikage shook his slightly numb arms, and the lightning on his body not only did not weaken, but became even more intense and violent. His gaze toward Umino Sasuke was finally filled with burning fighting spirit and a trace of offended anger.

"Your strength is quite impressive! However, a ninja's battle is not just about strength!" The Third Raikage's voice was as cold as iron.

Before the words were even finished, *sizzle*—!
A blue lightning bolt, even more dazzling and refined than before, tore through the sea.

The Third Raikage's figure vanished instantly, leaving only a ring of sonic boom clouds created by the high-speed breakthrough.

fast!
Almost reaching the extreme!
It was so fast that even Umino Sasuke's dynamic vision, enhanced by multiple Yang Release chakra boosts, could only barely catch a blurry blue trajectory.

Sasuke Umino's three heads spun wildly, and the pupils of his three eyes suddenly contracted. However, the Third Raikage's speed had already exceeded the reaction limit of visual perception.

A series of afterimages appeared simultaneously from almost different directions. These were the afterimages left by the Third Raikage's probing high-speed attack. Each flash was accompanied by a heavy punch or kick like a battering ram, aimed directly at Umino Sasuke's upper, middle, and lower vital points!

Fortunately, Sasuke Umino possessed exceptional perception, which allowed him to detect the attack trajectory. With the help of his three heads and six arms, which provided him with an all-around field of vision and a strong combat instinct, he narrowly managed to block and parry the attack!
boom! boom! boom--

The immense power, accompanied by terrifying lightning strikes, caused Sasuke Umino's arm to tremble violently with each block. A tingling electric sensation continuously assaulted his entire body, and the force of the impact forced him backward, creating ripples on the sea surface.

The Third Raikage's speed is just too fast!

His attacks were like a whirlwind, giving Umino Sasuke no chance to catch his breath or retaliate.

The combination of strength, speed, and defense demonstrates the absolute dominance of the pinnacle of taijutsu in the ninja world!

"Left side!" Sasuke Umino's spiritual senses in the middle of his head keenly detected the energy fluctuations.

However, it was still a step too late.

A condensed blue lightning bolt appeared as if teleported behind Umino Sasuke. The Third Raikage's hand blade, wrapped in destructive lightning, with a sharpness that could tear everything apart, silently and swiftly slashed towards Umino Sasuke's neck.

A deadly sense of crisis is looming!

Sasuke Umino's fighting instincts were brought to their fullest extent at this moment. In the nick of time, he suddenly squatted down, his arms crossing instantly like an iron gate, blocking the vital area in front of his neck.

boom!
A terrifying impact rang out suddenly.

The Third Raikage's hand blade, powerful enough to split mountains, slashed fiercely at Sasuke Umino's crossed arms. The immense force caused Sasuke Umino to shrink in height, and the seawater beneath his feet exploded with a deafening roar.

"It's blocked!" Just as a sense of relief rose in Umino Sasuke's heart, an even more terrifying sense of crisis descended instantly.

Zizzi——!
The violent lightning chakra, far surpassing that of Aiolia, transformed into countless blue electric eels, flowing wildly along the Third Raikage's arm and into Sasuke Umino's crossed arms as he blocked, before instantly spreading throughout his entire body.

A strong sensation of numbness and burning pain instantly swept through his nervous system.

"Now!" A hint of madness and calculation flashed in Umino Sasuke's eyes.

"Lightning Release Chakra Mode - Activated!"

boom! ! !
The same dazzling blue lightning suddenly erupted from Umino Sasuke. Although it was far less violent and refined than that of the Third Raikage, it was indeed the secret of Kumogakure—Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

More importantly, the moment Umino Sasuke activated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, the violent Lightning Release Chakra that had invaded his body and was trying to damage his meridians and muscles was absorbed by his body like rivers flowing into the sea. Although it was only a very small amount, this instantaneous absorption greatly alleviated the paralysis effect and added a bit of "fuel" to his Lightning Release Mode!
More importantly, he took the opportunity to comprehend many of the ultimate secrets of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

"What?!" The coldness and killing intent on the Third Raikage's face froze instantly, turning into utter shock and disbelief. "Lightning Release Chakra Mode?! How do you know my Hidden Cloud Village's secret technique?!"

This was even more absurd and infuriating to him than seeing the Third Mizukage frozen in ice! The core secrets upon which the Hidden Cloud Village stood, had actually been mastered by a mere Konoha ninja? This was absolutely a matter of life and death!

Just as the Third Raikage was so shocked by this sudden event that he was momentarily stunned, his mind reeling.

"Ice Release: Twin Dragon Binding Kill!"

Umino Sasuke's hands had already completed six complex hand seals in a second on the bottom lane, while his hands on the top lane suddenly pressed down to activate his chakra core.

"Liberation of External Alchemy!"

Om-!
The chakra core suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly brilliant white light, transforming into a miniature icy moon. The pure and vast ice-escape power was frantically extracted, and the seawater beneath its feet instantly froze to a depth of tens of meters.

Two colossal ice dragons, far thicker and more refined than before, radiating absolute zero cold, broke through the ice and roared as they soared into the sky.

Roar! Roar—

The dragon's roar shakes the sky!

Although these two ice dragons are not as powerful as the Nine Dragons Binding Kill, the extreme cold and strangulation power they contain, under the full infusion of the chakra core, have reached the power of a regular S-rank ninjutsu.

They came from the left and right, carrying a terrifying power that could freeze souls and crush everything, and took advantage of the Third Raikage's momentary lapse in concentration to viciously attack.

Wherever it passed, even the air was frozen into white ice flowers.

Rumble——!
The two ice dragons instantly engulfed the Third Raikage's blue lightning-like figure, and a terrifying burst of cold air formed a huge ice storm vortex with a diameter of nearly 100 meters!

The sound of ice crystals shattering from friction was extremely piercing, as if even space itself was about to be crushed by this extreme cold and crushing force.

"Lord Raikage!" cried a terrified ninja from the Cloud Village on the flagship.

The Umino ninja army erupted in wild cheers.

However, Sasuke Umino showed no joy on his face; instead, his expression grew even more serious as he stared intently at the center of the raging ice storm.

Click...

boom! ! !
The ice storm suddenly exploded!

A blue figure covered in thick ice crystals broke through the ice and emerged.

Ice shards fell down, revealing the Third Raikage inside, completely unharmed.

His lightning armor remained dazzling, with violent arcs of electricity leaping around it, instantly evaporating the ice crystals attached to it into water vapor.

"The strongest shield truly lives up to its name!" Sasuke Umino's heart sank to the bottom.

Such an Ice Release technique, enhanced by the chakra core, hit head-on, yet it didn't even scratch a single hair on the opponent's head?!

This defensive power has already surpassed that of a tailed beast!
Upon seeing this, the Cloud Village ninja breathed a sigh of relief and then erupted into even more enthusiastic cheers.

The cheers of the Umino ninja army came to an abrupt halt, replaced by deep fear and disbelief.

"Is that human being?"

"Even a tailed beast would be injured from such a heavy blow, yet he actually..."

"too frightening!"

At this moment, the Third Raikage ignored the last trace of cold air on his body and locked his gaze on Umino Sasuke: "Konoha's Iron Wall! Answer me! Where did you steal this Lightning Release Chakra Mode from?"

Suppressing his shock and forcing himself to remain calm, Umino Sasuke sneered, "Stealing? Is Lightning Release Chakra Mode hard to develop? It's just a combination of chakra nature transformation and physical activation. Watch closely, old man, I know more than just Lightning Release Chakra Mode."

The voice just fell.

The violent blue lightning on Umino Sasuke's body instantly subsided and dissipated, followed by a sudden burst of a light, ethereal yet incredibly sharp aura.

"Wind Release Chakra Mode - Activated!"

A bluish-white chakra light instantly covered his entire body.

His figure seemed to become lighter and sharper, and the air around him made a subtle cutting sound.

Speed, reaction time, and sharpness of the body have all been significantly improved. Although the defensive power is far inferior to Lightning Release Chakra Mode, the speed is still comparable to that of the Third Raikage.

"Wind Release Chakra Mode?!" The Third Raikage's eyes widened in even greater surprise and disbelief.

Not only had this opponent mastered the core secrets of Kumogakure, but he had also mastered a completely different Wind Release chakra mode? This was utterly unbelievable, and the Third Raikage's killing intent surged to its peak! This child must not be allowed to live!
"Stubborn fool! Once I capture you, let's see if your mouth will still be so stubborn!" The Third Raikage completely lost his patience, his killing intent boiling over.

Zila——!
The blue lightning tore through space once more. This time, the Third Raikage didn't hesitate and immediately unleashed his killing move.

He raised his right hand, his four fingers pressed together like knives, and the violent lightning chakra frantically gathered and compressed towards his fingertips. The lightning that condensed at his fingertips was no longer blue, but instead presented a chilling, blazing white.

"Hell Thrust·Four Pen Hands!"

The Third Raikage's figure transformed into a blazing white lightning bolt, condensed to its extreme, moving even faster than before, its target aimed directly at Sasuke Umino's heart.

Wherever it passed, the seawater below was automatically parted by an invisible sharp force, forming a deep trench.

"Oh no!" Sasuke Umino's hair stood on end.

A deadly sense of crisis surfaced in his mind; it seemed the Third Raikage was serious.

"Water candy, sticky candy, hollow wall!"

Sasuke Umino instantly formed hand seals in the bottom lane, and several layers of incredibly thick, sticky walls instantly materialized in front of him.

However, this sticky, hollow wall was as fragile as paper in the face of the Four-Element Penetrating Hand technique, which had been refined to the extreme.

The blazing white lightning fingertip pierced through layers of sticky walls without hindrance. The sticky material that swept over was instantly carbonized and vaporized by the terrifying heat and violent lightning chakra upon contact with the lightning. It couldn't even slow down the opponent, let alone stick to them.
