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

Chapter 366 Magnet Release Bloodline

With boundless anticipation for the future and the powerful motivation to quickly fuse with Boil Release, Umino Ikkaku left the secret room. Thinking of the little life that was about to be conceived, he felt full of energy.

Outside the secret room, Umino Sasuke shook his head slightly, a hint of a smile on his face.

The trajectory of fate did indeed take a dramatic turn under the influence of this "butterfly." With the current development trend of the Umino clan, and the strength and status of Umino Iruka and his wife, both elite Jonin, the future Umino Iruka will no longer be an orphan who lost both parents, relied on the village's relief, and had to face the strange looks of others alone. Instead, he will be a true young master of a wealthy family, protected by his parents who are elite Jonin, and enjoy a large amount of secret techniques resources and a good educational environment from his clan.

"In that case, Mizuki might not even have the right to be jealous of Iruka in the future."

In Umino Sasuke's mind, the image of a Chunin teacher who was twisted by jealousy and induced Naruto to steal the Scroll of Seals flashed by.

When the gap becomes so large that it is despairing, jealousy is hard to breed, and what remains may only be admiration and humility.

Of course, given Mizuki's extreme personality, it's possible that he might go down another extreme path, but that's a trivial matter. Umino Sasuke quickly pulled his thoughts back from this distant future reverie.

At this moment, he also left the secret room, not in a hurry to take the Magnet Release Bloodline Fusion Secret Medicine. On the one hand, he needed to digest the experience of failing to assist Unno Ikkaku in the fusion, and on the other hand, a guest came to visit today.

Upon entering the family's reception room, two men dressed in green Jonin armor, their faces beaming with joy, immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Captain!" *2
The visitors were none other than Steel Sengoku and Kamizuki Hayabusa.

As veterans of the Iron Wall Legion, they are now all registered Jonin of Konoha. They came to visit during their break from rotating back to Konoha for a new term of service.

Sasuke Umino smiled sincerely and gestured for the two to sit down: "Sengoku, Hayato, no need for formalities. Judging from your radiant faces, it seems you have some great news to celebrate."

Gang Qianshi, being a straightforward person, immediately scratched his head and chuckled foolishly upon hearing this.

Kamui Hayato was relatively calmer, but he couldn't help but smile: "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Captain. Yes, Sengoku and I have both become fathers!"

"Oh? This is wonderful news!" Umino Sasuke laughed, his tone full of congratulations. "Let me guess, is the Sengoku family's son a boy named Kotetsu? And is yours, Hayabusa, also a boy named Izumo?"

Steel Sengoku and Kamizuki Hayato's eyes widened instantly, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Captain! How did you know?!" Gang Qianshi stammered. He had only returned to his post yesterday and had just confirmed that it was a boy and decided on a name.

Shen Yuejun was also shocked; his son's name had only been decided recently.

Sasuke Umino smiled mysteriously: "Maybe I heard you two in your dreams, haha. Congratulations, Tetsuo Koko and Izumo Kamizuki, those are two very good names."

He couldn't very well claim that he was "predictable" and remembered these two future Konoha's eternal goalkeepers, could he?

Although the two were surprised, they accepted the explanation after considering the various amazing abilities their captain had always displayed, and quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your kind words, Captain!"

During their casual conversation, Umino Sasuke learned that the two little ones were born just before the post-war baby boom in Konoha. Given their age and status as ninjas, they might not have had children so early. However, Umino Sasuke's intrusion had offended Mitokado Homura, leading to him being sent to the most dangerous front lines. With the shadow of war looming, no one knew whether tomorrow or an accident would come first. Both of them decided to have children when they returned to the village last year to continue their duties, which resulted in the birth of Kotetsu and Izumo.

This was a twist of fate that allowed this duo to arrive in the world a few months earlier than expected.

After exchanging pleasantries, the atmosphere calmed down a bit.

Kamitsuki Hayato and Kaneki Sengoku exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming serious.

As the representative, Shen Yuejun took a deep breath and said, "Captain, we came here not only to visit you and report on the situation at the front, but more importantly... for the future of our two races, and for these two newborn children."

Gang Qianshi nodded vigorously from the side.

Kamitsuki Hayato continued, "We know our own talents. Our promotion to Jonin is entirely due to your guidance and the mechanical manipulation tools and the secret technique of the water candy you bestowed upon us. There is a lot of cheating involved. Our true combat strength is far inferior to those senior Jonin. It can be said that without you, Captain, we would not be where we are today."

He spoke sincerely, with self-awareness: "We come from a small clan with a shallow family heritage and almost no decent lineage. It wasn't a big deal when we were all alone, but now that we have children, we have to think about them. We hope they can have a higher starting point and go further in the future, at least not as difficult as we were back then."

Gang Qianshi chimed in, "Yes, Captain! After much thought, we believe that only by attaching ourselves to the Haiye clan and receiving your protection can our family and descendants have a better future. Therefore, we implore you, Captain, to allow our Gang clan and Shenyue clan to become vassal families of the Haiye clan!"

After saying that, the two of them stood up at the same time and knelt on one knee in front of Umino Sasuke.

Looking at his two subordinates who had followed him for many years, Umino Sasuke understood their choice. The inspiration for the basic Mizugae Secret Technique came from them, which is why he taught it to them. The Mizugae Secret Technique, after his improvements and the addition of Yang Release and sealing techniques, has become the secret technique system it is today.

The basic Water Candy Secret Technique is highly effective against chuunibyou and genin, but it is less powerful and has a limited potential against true jonin masters. However, for small clans that lack a lineage, this is a precious secret technique that can break through the shackles of talent and cultivate jonin.

The fact that the two clans have become vassals means that they will unite closely around the Umino clan. Both Kaneki Sengoku and Kamui Hayato are Konoha Jonin with voting rights, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance the Umino clan's voice and influence in Konoha's upper echelons.

Although the two clans are far less powerful than the already declining Mitomon clan, they have the advantage of having almost no clan property and relying entirely on the Umino clan, so their loyalty may actually be higher.

Many considerations flashed through Umino Sasuke's mind in an instant. The Mitomon clan could be used to secretly handle some 'dirty and tiring work' that was inconvenient to talk about openly, while the two newly affiliated clans could operate openly to expand the influence of his Umino clan. One in the open and one in the dark, they complemented each other perfectly.

He stood up, helped the two up, and said solemnly, "Sengoku, Hayabusa, I understand your intentions and choices. You are my trusted subordinates, and your families are naturally partners that my Umino clan is willing to accept. From this day forward, the Steel Clan and the Shingetsu Clan will be vassal families of my Umino clan! The Umino clan will always be your support!"

Upon hearing this, the two of them instantly showed great joy and excitement.

Umino Sasuke continued, "Since we are one family, I will not treat you unfairly. Both clans' ninjas can learn the basic Mizugae Secret Technique. Those who make significant contributions can even learn the advanced Mizugae Secret Technique incorporating Yang Release power after passing an examination!"

This was undoubtedly a tremendous blessing. The basic Water Candy Secret Technique had already benefited them immensely, and they simply couldn't imagine the more advanced version.

"Thank you, Chieftain!" *2
Steel Stone and God Moon Falcon immediately changed their tune, kneeling on one knee once more, their voices filled with gratitude and loyalty. With this promise, the future path for their children and people would be much wider.

"Get up." Sasuke Umino told them to sit down. "Now that we're family, there are some things I can tell you. In a couple of days, I have an S-rank mission to give you."

The two, who had just been immersed in joy, suddenly became serious: "Please give your orders, Clan Chief!"

"The mission involves escorting Bunpuku, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, to the border of the Land of Rivers to sign a ceasefire agreement with Sunagakure."

"A ceasefire agreement?!" Steel Stone's eyes lit up, and he almost jumped up with excitement. "Great! Those guys from Sunagakure finally couldn't hold on and are surrendering unconditionally. I knew it! Our Iron Wall Legion has already entered the Land of Wind. What are they going to fight with!"

Kamiya Hayato also showed a look of joy, but he was more astute and quickly noticed that Umino Sasuke's expression did not show much joy, but rather a hint of coldness. An ominous premonition rose in his heart, and he tentatively asked, "Clan leader, what are the terms of this ceasefire?"

Umino Sasuke glanced at him and calmly uttered a few key words: "Unconditional ceasefire, prisoner exchange, Konoha returning the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, and Sunagakure not having to pay any war reparations."

"what?!"

"This is impossible!"

Steel Sengoku and Kamizuki Hayato exclaimed in shock almost simultaneously, standing up abruptly with expressions of astonishment and disbelief on their faces.

"No reparations?! And they want us to return the Jinchūriki?" Gang Qian Shi's face turned red with anger, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "We lost so many comrades, paid such a heavy price, and were about to win a glorious victory, and this is what we get in return? What kind of ceasefire agreement is this? This is clearly a humiliating defeat!"

Kamiya Hayato's face also turned extremely ugly. He suppressed his anger, his voice trembling slightly: "Clan leader! How could the higher-ups agree to such a treaty? This is simply absurd! We are clearly the victorious nation! The Land of Wind has exhausted its resources, the Sand Village has lost all its elite troops, and even the Jinchuriki have been captured by us. They have no means to continue the war. We should be making them cede territory and pay reparations!"

He became increasingly agitated as he spoke, then suddenly looked at Umino Sasuke, his tone urgent: "Clan leader! You absolutely cannot accept this mission! Whoever signs this agreement will be a sinner against Konoha! They will be scorned by the soldiers on the front lines and their reputation will plummet! Someone is trying to harm you! They want to push you out to take the blame!"

Gang Qianshi also realized what was happening and hurriedly chimed in, "That's right, clan leader! Falcon is right. Whoever wants to do this job can go, but you can't go! How about we let Elder Zhuanqin sign it? Anyway, she doesn't handle things!"

Seeing how anxious and indignant the two were about him, even going so far as to criticize the higher-ups, a warm feeling swept through Umino Sasuke's heart. This was the benefit of having your own team; they would consider you first.

He waved his hand, signaling the two to calm down: "I understand your concerns. This treaty is indeed absurd, and I know what some people are up to, but—"

Then, changing the subject, his eyes became deep and sharp, "Since I've accepted this mission, I naturally have my own plans. You just need to follow my instructions. Don't worry, I, Umino Sasuke, never do anything that doesn't benefit me, and I will never let others scheme against me without fighting back."

His tone was calm, yet carried a compelling and powerful confidence.

Kamiya Hayato and Kaneki Sengoku exchanged a glance. Thinking of their captain's consistently ingenious strategies and his ability to never suffer a loss, their anxiety and anger gradually subsided, replaced by a blind trust and expectation.

"Yes, clan leader, we understand," the two replied in unison, without any further questions.

After discussing some details about the vassal families, Kamitsuki Hayato and Kou Sengoku took their leave, eager to return and be with their newborn son.

After seeing the two off, Umino Sasuke received several groups of old subordinates from the Iron Wall Army who had returned from the front lines and came to visit. By the time he finished dealing with these trivial social matters, it was almost dusk.

He returned to his quiet room and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The next moment, ripples spread through space, and his figure vanished instantly from the Konoha Umino clan's territory. ...

The Land of Waves, the Underground Laboratory.

This place is now filled with various more sophisticated instruments and a rich aura of Grell Stone energy.

Sasuke Umino first inspected the various experimental areas. The cultivation of White Zetsu cells, the cloning of Tailed Beast flesh and blood, the Hashirama cell fusion experiment, and the life energy application experiment based on the Grell Stone were all proceeding in an orderly manner.

After inspecting all the experimental areas, he went straight to a separate cubicle at the deepest part of the laboratory.

Inside the compartment, a vibrant green light shone softly. A small sapling, only three feet tall and entirely emerald green, was rooted in a small pile of Grell Stone ore, slowly absorbing the life energy within. The aura it exuded was ancient and mysterious. Although it was still young, it already possessed a certain indescribable status.

This is the counterfeit "Little Divine Tree" cloned from the immense life energy of the Grell Stone.

Sasuke Umino looked at the sapling with a complicated expression. Each of its leaves contained a strange primal power, a key catalyst for making bloodline fusion potions, and was extremely precious. He took out several high-quality Grell Stones and carefully placed them around the roots of the tree as extra "fertilizer".

The sapling's branches and leaves seemed to sway gently, as if expressing joy, and its rate of absorbing life energy increased slightly.

"Grow up quickly, the future may depend on you." Umino Sasuke muttered to himself. Even though this was just a knock-off with limited potential, its value was immeasurable.

After observing for a while and confirming that the sapling was growing well, he stopped paying attention to it and turned to walk into a secret room next door filled with many sealing spells. This was where he conducted his most dangerous and confidential experiments.

There was only a futon in the center of the secret room. I sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and adjusted myself to the best state.

Instead of immediately taking out the Magnet Release bloodline fusion potion, he first took out a specially made talisman ink, a talisman brush, and a huge blank scroll. The talisman ink was made by mixing Shukaku's blood essence with the ink of the Eight-Tails Gyūki, and contained a rich Magnet Release chakra aura.

He picked up the talisman brush, dipped it in the pitch-black ink, and concentrated intently, channeling his immense chakra, along with his understanding of Yin-Yang Release, into the tip of the brush.

The brush moves like dragons and snakes, and chakra flows with the ink.

"Ink Escape: Super Beast Imitation Painting!"

Suddenly, a lifelike, jet-black Shukaku, only half a person's height, appeared on the scroll. It was so lifelike that even the way its tail swayed had the clumsiness and cuteness unique to Shukaku, and it radiated a strong chakra fluctuation.

“Let’s begin,” Umino Sasuke said softly.

The little black Shukaku let out a soft cry and suddenly leaped out of the scroll, landing on the floor of the secret room. With a wave of its little paw, a specially made Flying Thunder God kunai placed next to it floated up lightly, which was Magnet Release.

Sasuke Umino gently placed his hands on Shukaku's back, closed his eyes, and focused all his energy on sensing and analyzing the magnetic power flowing within the ink-style construct.

His understanding of Yin-Yang Escape was already extremely profound, so he no longer needed to use the relatively inefficient transformation technique of Beast Mimicry to experience it. Advanced transformation techniques are themselves an application of Yin-Yang Escape, so he could directly use Yin-Yang Escape to simulate and analyze the essential composition of this power.

Time passes slowly in silence.

Sasuke Umino's brow began to relax, and the light in his eyes grew brighter as he gained a clearer understanding of the mysteries of how the wind and earth chakra nature transformations combine and how they generate magnetic fields.

Finally, when the ink-style Shukaku's chakra was exhausted, it turned back into a puddle of ink with a "pop".

Without hesitation, he took out a tube of Magnet Release Bloodline Fusion Elixir. The liquid in the tube was a strange yellowish-brown color, with what appeared to be fine gold dust flowing inside, radiating powerful energy fluctuations.

He uncorked the medicine, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

The medicine entered his stomach like a mouthful of scalding quicksand; the incredibly violent energy exploded instantly, impacting his limbs and bones, and a tearing pain came from deep within his meridians.

"The Art of Gluttony!"

Sasuke Umino immediately activated his secret technique to maximize absorption efficiency and ensure that not a single drop of the medicine was wasted.

He could clearly feel his body undergoing drastic changes, as if his cells were being ground and reorganized by sand, causing immense pain and damage. However, he endured the pain and did not use his Yang Release power to repair himself. Instead, he took the opportunity to unleash his ninjutsu.

"Earth Release·Super Heavy Rock Technique!"

The immense gravity was instantly applied to him, especially in his internal meridians. The violent and rampant magnetic release source power and wind and earth chakra suddenly stagnated under this sudden extreme pressure, and their flow slowed down abruptly, as if they had sunk into a viscous quagmire.

"It's now!"

Sasuke Umino focused his mind and painstakingly guided the wind and earth chakra within his body, which were slightly bound by gravity, toward the source power of Magnet Release, attempting to fuse with it.

However, the fusion of magnetic escape is far more difficult than imagined, and the process is exceptionally slow and painful.

He frowned and quickly formed a Yin seal with his hands.

"Sealing - All Rivers Flow Back to Their Flow!"

slam-la-

On the huge sealing scroll spread out in front of his knees, the intricate sealing runes that had already been drawn were like black tadpoles that came to life. They detached from the scroll, climbed onto his body, and quickly disappeared under his skin, merging into his meridians.

With these intricate sealing runes added, working in conjunction with the gravity field of the "Super-Weighted Rock Technique," one applies pressure from the outside while the other provides fine guidance from within, together assisting the fusion process of the Magnet Release bloodline limit.

With dual assistance, the fusion speed is significantly accelerated.

He could sense that a new kind of chakra, imbued with the properties of magnetic sand, was being painstakingly born.

Time passed slowly, and the medicine's effects were mostly worn off, but the final step was still difficult to take.

Sasuke Umino's eyes sharpened, and without the slightest hesitation, he took out another vial of Magnet Release Bloodline Fusion Potion and tilted his head back to gulp it down.

"The Art of Gluttony!"

The drug's effects surged even more violently into his body, causing the pain to increase exponentially. Fine beads of blood even seeped from his skin. But he gritted his teeth and frantically activated the gravity seal and meridian seal, squeezing out his own potential and pushing the wind and earth chakra to merge with the immense magnetic power in a final fusion.

Inside the sealed room, the air seemed to grow heavy, and tiny metal fragments began to float uncontrollably around Umino Sasuke.

I don't know how much time passed, but when the second dose of medicine was also half exhausted.

hum!
An invisible force field suddenly spread out from him.

He suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He raised his left arm and made a vague grabbing motion towards the specially made Flying Thunder God Kunai not far away.

call out!
The kunai was instantly grasped by an invisible hand, hovering steadily above his palm, flexibly turning and moving as if it were his own arm.

"Success!"

Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai Awakening Complete!

"call……"

He finally let out a long sigh of relief, feeling the new and powerful energy within him, and a joyful smile finally appeared on his face.

While the direct destructive power of Magnet Release is not much stronger than Ice Release, its ability to manipulate magnetic fields and control metals makes it irreplaceable in certain situations, especially against armies of puppeteers or enemies who rely on ninja tools, where it is an absolute nemesis.

"Next, we need to thoroughly solidify and deepen this power, and complete the final transformation of the body by the bloodline limit."

Generally speaking, this transformation process takes several months to complete, during which the amount of chakra will steadily increase, and the body will gradually adapt to and optimize the power of Magnet Release.

But what he lacks most right now is time, and what he has no shortage of is money!
"Trading money for time seems like a worthwhile investment!"

Without hesitation, he took out a large number of attribute-enhancing medicines that he had prepared beforehand, picked up a set of earth and wind attribute medicines, and took them.

"The Art of Gluttony!"

boom!
The immense medicinal power dissipated, and this time, it was no longer pain, but an indescribable feeling of comfort. The newly formed Magnet Release bloodline was like an engine that had been ignited, frantically absorbing these homologous energies with unprecedented efficiency, accelerating the process of transforming the body.
