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

Chapter 373 Suppressing Ten Thousand Snakes
Might Guy had only opened the Eight Gates to the sixth gate, the Gate of View, when his body was already enveloped in surging green steam, and his speed and power reached an extremely terrifying level.

He transformed into a green whirlwind, rampaging through the Sand Village's defenses. Wherever he passed, the Sand Village ninjas were struck as if by a high-speed train, their bones broken and they were sent flying backward.

Neither the sturdy earth wall nor the dense barrage of ninja tools could stop him in the slightest. His mission was to break through any defensive lines that Sunagakure attempted to organize with absolute force, thus opening a path for subsequent troops. His role was irreplaceable.

Moonlight Night's figure moved like a ghost across the battlefield, his ninja sword "Moon Shadow" drawing chilling arcs of light. With each flash, a Sand Village ninja would clutch his throat and fall to the ground.

His swordsmanship has become increasingly refined, shedding its former immaturity and becoming shrewd and deadly. Although his pure attack power may not yet be comparable to the renowned Konoha White Fang, his potential and growth rate have led many to regard him as a younger version of White Fang. His partner, Mitarashi Shishou, has also shone brightly.

Mitarashi Shishou's ninjutsu is swift and ferocious, often killing enemies before they can even react. He and Gekko Yoru work together seamlessly, one in the light and the other in the shadows, making them a nightmare for the Sand Village Jonin.

The twin stars of the former Iron Wall Legion, Shiranui Ri and Inuzuka Ryo, also performed admirably.

Ryo Inuzuka merges with his ninja dog, Akita-maru, to form a three-headed wolf. Although limited by his talent, his strength barely reaches the threshold of an elite Jonin, but his fierce fighting style and seamless cooperation with his ninja dog are still remarkable.

Shiranui Ri's talent is in no way inferior to Gekko Yoru's. Her mastery of fire-style ninjutsu and her family's swordsmanship is superb, and she has firmly established herself among the elite Jonin, becoming a key member of the captain-level team.

The newly appointed twin stars, Inuzuka Jacques and Umino Tobirama, are still somewhat inexperienced, but they have grown rapidly through the baptism of war, reached the threshold of Jonin, and begun to be able to stand on their own and command their squads in battle.

Thanks to Sasuke Umino's vigorous reforms and resource allocation, the Iron Wall Army's potential was finally fully unleashed.

These ninjas all possessed at least one or two elemental ninjutsu, their chakra control far surpassed that of ordinary ninjas, and their individual combat capabilities were extremely formidable.

Even without considering the optimization of Konoha's bloodline by the Senju clan's integration, the overall talent of the Iron Wall Legion ninjas is quite good. The elites of Kirigakure are mostly honed through brutal elimination and training, while Konoha ninjas, especially the Iron Wall Legion, are products of a combination of talent and systematic training, with a deeper foundation and potential.

At this moment, dealing with the disorganized and leaderless Sunagakure is an absolute crushing victory.

Even if a small group of Sand Village ninjas spontaneously organizes an effective resistance, they will immediately be met with a fiercer and more organized counterattack from the Iron Wall Legion, and collapse instantly.

The key point is that the Iron Wall Legion also has several Kage-level powerhouses, while the Sand Village only has a handful of elite Jonin.

At this moment, Orochimaru moved effortlessly across the battlefield and saw that Sunagakure had used the terrain to build a temporary defensive line, seemingly showing signs of regrouping.

He gave a sinister smile, quickly formed hand seals, and slammed them onto the ground.

"Psychic art!"

Accompanied by a huge plume of white smoke, an enormous purple serpent, exuding a terrifying and ferocious aura, was summoned to the central street of Sunagakure.

The moment the massive body of Manda appeared, it crushed several houses. With a casual sweep of its enormous tail, it leveled the newly formed Sand Village defense line along with the buildings behind it, and the screams abruptly ceased.

"Orochimaru, you bastard! How dare you summon me to this godforsaken place full of sand!"

The myriad serpents roared hoarsely in anger, their enormous serpent eyes glaring with displeasure. "This time, I want a hundred sacrifices! No, two hundred!"

Orochimaru laughed nonchalantly, "Hehehe, you can eat as many Sand Village ninjas as you like."

Upon hearing this, Manda's enormous serpentine eyes flashed with greed and cruelty. He immediately became excited and began to rampage through Sunagakure. His massive body was his most terrifying weapon, and every roll and crushing caused enormous destruction. The little bit of resistance that Sunagakure had just mustered collapsed once again in the face of Manda's almost catastrophic destructive power.

However, Manda's rampage also brought problems. It did not distinguish between friend and foe. Its huge body inevitably affected the advancing Konoha ninjas as it moved, and even crushed several supply warehouses marked as important targets.

Standing on high ground, Sasuke Umino frowned and immediately shouted through his Sound Wave Release: "Manda! Watch your actions! Do not attack Konoha ninjas, and do not damage the marked warehouse area!"

Manda was having a great time when he was suddenly scolded by a "little bug," which made him furious.

It suddenly raised its huge snake head, its cold vertical pupils locking onto Umino Sasuke in the air. It sensed a strange and alluring "fragrance" from this human, a pure aura close to natural energy, which had a fatal attraction for the summoning beasts of Ryuchi Cave.

"Hmm? What a fragrant brat! Eating you will definitely be very nutritious!" Manda hissed, ignoring Orochimaru, and its huge snake head lunged at Umino Sasuke in the air like a cannonball, the fishy smell it brought was nauseating.

Sasuke Umino's perception was incredibly sharp; he sensed Manda the moment it revealed its killing intent.

Faced with this sudden attack, he remained expressionless and did not even dodge.

Just as that gaping maw was about to close, Umino Sasuke clenched his right fist, gathering terrifying power within it, and a flash of lightning surrounded him.

"Go away!"

boom--! ! !
A punch imbued with terrifying strength and lightning chakra slammed heavily into Manda's jaw.

A deafeningly loud thud resounded, and the enormous body of the Thousand Serpent was violently thrown upwards by this seemingly small punch, letting out a painful and incredulous hiss. The massive serpent head was even knocked off course and crashed heavily onto the nearby ruins, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Everyone who witnessed this scene, whether from Konoha or Sunagakure, was stunned.

That was Manda, the top-tier summoning beast of Ryuchi Cave, a terrifying being with strength comparable to a small tailed beast, and it was actually knocked down with a single punch?!
Manda, its head swaying slightly, lifted itself from the ruins. Its enormous serpentine eyes were filled with horror and a hint of fear. It felt as if its jawbone was about to crack. That terrifying power was even more exaggerated than that monstrous female ally of Orochimaru.

"You brat—"

Manda stared at Umino Sasuke with suspicion and dared not approach him again.

Susuke Umino hovered in the air and said coldly, "Manda, this is a critical moment in the war. If you continue to act recklessly, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Manda sensed the chilling killing intent and unfathomable strength in Umino Sasuke's words, and hesitated for a moment. Although it was irritable and ferocious, it was not stupid and knew that the human in front of it was not someone to be trifled with.

Seeing that verbal intimidation had little effect, Sasuke Umino decided to show off his strength. He quickly took out a huge blank scroll, spread it out, and held a cow horn pen. He mixed chakra with special ink and drew on the scroll at an astonishing speed.

"Ink Escape: Super Beast Imitation Painting!"

Roar--! ! !
With a deafening roar, a gigantic Shukaku, entirely composed of black ink, burst forth from the scroll. Its size was no less than that of Manda, standing over twenty meters tall, lifelike, and radiating a violent and terrifying chakra aura. It was essentially a smaller version of the One-Tailed Shukaku.

The appearance of Shukaku, the Ink Release, immediately shocked the entire audience.

"Shukaku?!"

"No! It's a black Shukaku!"

"Is that the White Blood Demon's summoned beast? How could he summon Shukaku?!"

Upon seeing Shukaku, the Sand Village ninjas' already fragile will crumbled even further, and countless cries of despair erupted, their will to resist crumbling even more.

Looking at the colossal black beast before it, which was in no way weaker than itself, Manda sensed a real threat from it. It finally abandoned its contempt and greed for Umino Sasuke, and its huge serpentine eyes were filled with fear.

Orochimaru, who was below, saw this scene and his golden snake eyes flashed with amazing light. He licked his lips with his long tongue and couldn't help but exclaim, "Tsk tsk, to use the Super Beast Imitation Drawing to such an extent to draw the Tailed Beast, Sasuke-kun, your talent in Yin-Yang Release really makes me feel ashamed of myself."

Even Orochimaru himself admitted that he was inferior, and Manda finally became completely obedient.

It let out a low growl, acknowledging Umino Sasuke's command. It stopped attacking the Konoha ninjas and ceased wantonly destroying the marked high-value facilities. Instead, it vented all its anger on the terrified Sunagakure ninjas.

Seeing this, Sasuke Umino nodded slightly. He looked down at the entire battlefield and saw that key locations such as the Kazekage Building, the hospital, and the logistics warehouse had been firmly controlled by the Iron Wall Army. No longer worried that the Sand Village would resort to desperate measures to destroy the spoils of war, he decided to no longer hold back his strength.

He formed hand seals, and a massive amount of chakra surged into the sky.

"Psychic art!"

Bang Bang Bang!
Continuous white smoke rose from all over the battlefield as puppets of various shapes and sizes, each radiating powerful chakra fluctuations, were summoned. Among them, the most conspicuous were nine mecha puppets that resembled small war fortresses, and a huge, stitched-together puppet made up of various puppets.

"Mech - Rooftop Collapse Technique!"

Nine mecha puppets descended from the sky, slamming heavily into the area where the Sand Village's resistance was most intense.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…!
Each mecha puppet's fall was like a small celestial meteor striking the ground, generating a violent explosion and shockwave that instantly shattered the Sand Village's resistance in that area. Its destructive power was in no way inferior to an S-rank forbidden technique.

The giant, stitched-together puppet hovered in mid-air, its back and shoulders opening up countless hatches that shot out dense chakra threads.

"A hundred machines in operation!"

It simultaneously controlled over a hundred elite puppets, transforming them into a killing legion that fearlessly charged into the Sand Village's ranks, leaving a trail of blood and carnage in its wake.

Its power is comparable to another Sasori of the Red Sand, possessing terrifying combat strength capable of taking on an entire nation single-handedly.

At the same time, Mechanical Rurihime also unleashed the Hundred Machine Manipulation Technique, a massive torrent of puppets weaving and crushing across the battlefield. For the Sand Village, whose members were only chuunibyou (junior-nin), this was an unstoppable disaster.

The puppets felt no pain, were unafraid of death, and their attacks were cunning and ruthless. Their perfect coordination greatly reduced casualties among the Iron Wall Legion's ordinary ninjas, accelerating the cleanup operation. In the chaotic legion battles, the tactical value demonstrated by Ruri and the stitched-together puppets far surpassed that of Kaguya, who excelled in one-on-one combat, and Tsuchida, who focused on defense.

Faced with the overwhelming army of puppets, the colossal Ink Release: Shukaku and Manda, and the top Konoha ninja wreaking havoc on the battlefield, Sunagakure's resistance finally lost all order and succumbed to utter despair.

The high-end combat force was completely crushed, the core force was slaughtered by the puppet army and the Iron Wall elite, and the morale of the lower-level ninjas collapsed... There was no hope left in Sunagakure.

Looking at this apocalyptic scene, Kui Shiyu's last bit of hope vanished, replaced by immense relief and a lingering fear. He immediately seized the opportunity to show his loyalty and took the initiative to approach Umino Sasuke.

"My lord! The elders of Sunagakure are still in the territories of various ninja clans. As long as we control them, we can force the remaining Sunagakure to surrender. I am willing to be your guide!"

Umino Sasuke gave him an approving look: "Very good! Lead the way!"

"Yes!"

Led by Kujiro, Umino Sasuke led a group of elite troops straight to the territory of the Sand Village's number one ninja clan, the Sand Waterfall Clan.

At this moment, the Sandfall clan's territory had become a formidable fortress. The Sandfall Elder led all the remaining fighting ninjas of the clan, relying on the clan's buildings and sand control techniques to construct a defensive line. Upon seeing Umino Sasuke and the others approaching, they immediately launched an attack.

"Joint Ninja Art: Sand Burial!"

A massive tsunami of quicksand surged in, attempting to engulf the invaders.

However, against Umino Sasuke, who possesses the Ink Release: Shukaku, playing with sand would be like showing off one's skills before an expert.

Umino Sasuke stood on the back of the giant white building, without even lifting a finger, but with a thought.

The Shukaku beneath his feet roared, unleashing an even more powerful sand control ability that immediately covered the entire Sandfall Clan, quelling the flowing sand directly.

Then, it opened its huge mouth, and countless black sand bullets sprayed out like a torrential rain, instantly riddling the Sandfall Clan's defenses with holes.

More importantly, Shukaku's sand control ability far surpasses that of the Sandfall Clan, and he has begun to take control of the flowing sand.

The Sandfall Clan's defenses collapsed instantly, and their soldiers suffered heavy casualties from the reverse-controlled quicksand, crying out in despair.

Taking advantage of the situation, Umino Sasuke led his elite troops in a surprise attack, entering as if they were in an empty field. They quickly defeated and captured the stubborn Sandfall Elder and the Sandfall Clan soldiers.

Looking at the two representatives of Sunagakure who had been brought before him, Umino Sasuke went straight to the point: "Elder Sunagakure, Sunagakure Gaku, the fate of Sunagakure is sealed. Surrender, and I can guarantee that the lineage of the Sunagakure clan will be preserved."

Although the Sandfall Elder was captured, he remained defiant. He spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and shouted, "Bah! Traitors of Konoha! Don't even think about it! Rasa has already received the news and is leading the army from the Rain Country's front line back to reinforce. If you don't escape now, you can expect to be attacked from both sides and wiped out!"

Sasuke Umino shook his head and sighed, "Stubborn to the end."

Without further ado, he waved to the Iron Wall Ninja behind him.

Several ninjas immediately pulled out the twenty-odd Sandfall Clan soldiers who had been captured nearby and swiftly brought them down with their swords.

Pfft! Pfft—

Blood stained the sand, and heads rolled down.

"Stop!" Elder Shapu roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot. These were his carefully nurtured family members.

Umino Sasuke looked at him coldly: "Surrender, or exterminate your clan. My patience is limited."

Elder Shapu gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, but he still said defiantly, "If you have the guts, then kill us all! There are no cowards in the Shapu clan. When Luo Sha returns, he will naturally avenge us!"

Just then, Sandfall Mountain, who had been held captive and remained silent, suddenly spoke, his voice trembling with struggle: "Elder! Don't hold on any longer!"

"Yue! You!" Elder Shapu looked at his chosen successor in disbelief.

Sunagi Gaku's face was filled with pain, but his eyes were unusually clear: "Elder! Even if Rasa can return in time to repel Konoha and Sunagakure is saved, our Sunagi clan will be wiped out, leaving only Rasa and a few others. Can our Sunagi clan still be the number one ninja clan in Sunagakure? At that time, will other clans let go of the opportunity to annex our interests? Without the support of the clan, can Rasa still become the Fourth Kazekage?!"

His words were like a sharp knife, dissecting the bloody reality.

Elder Shapu was stunned. He opened his mouth, but could not refute it. The survival and interests of the family were the primary issues he, as the elder, had to consider.

Just then, another scream rang out, and another member of the Sandfall tribe was executed.

Sunabuki suddenly looked at Umino Sasuke and hissed, "We surrender! The Sunabuki clan is willing to surrender, please stop the killing!"

"Yue! You're so foolish!" Elder Shapu cried out in anguish, but his tone was no longer as resolute as before.

Umino Sasuke waved his hand, halting the execution. He looked at the Sandfall Elder: "What is your decision? Will you take your entire clan with you, or will you preserve the last spark of the Sandfall clan?"

The Sandfall Elder looked at the corpses of his tribesmen on the ground, and then at the tribesmen around him, whose eyes were filled with fear and a will to survive, especially the old, weak, women and children.

He seemed to have all his strength drained away in an instant, and he lowered his head dejectedly, his voice hoarse: "I... surrender."

"A wise choice." Umino Sasuke nodded in satisfaction and immediately ordered the chakra of the Sandfall Elder and Sandfall Mountain to be sealed.

"Kazekage-sama and Chiyo?!"

When Elder Sandfall saw the captured Chiyo and the unconscious Third Kazekage, he cried out in shock.

Sasuke Umino's lips curled into a smile: "I originally intended to make an example of them, but it seems the Sandfall Clan is not destined to perish."

"Hiss..." Elder Sandfall gasped.

He felt a chill run down his spine; he had almost caused the Sandfall Clan to become history because of his wrong choice.

"Let's go, next!"

With a wave of his hand, Sasuke Umino continued on his way.

On the way, he handed the unconscious Third Kazekage over to the rear troops for strict guarding. Then he created a shadow clone, used the Transformation Jutsu to transform into the appearance of the Third Kazekage, and carefully disguised himself as injured and having unstable chakra.

Next, he escorted Elder Sandfall and Sandfall Mountain, along with the Third Generation Kazekage, Chiyo, and the captured Scorching Storm Toyojo, and marched in a grand procession toward their next target—the Scorching Storm Clan's territory.

The great battle continued. The individual combat strength of the Zhuo Lan clan's soldiers may not be as good as that of the Sha Pu clan, but they did not rely on sand to fight. Therefore, they were not restrained by Mo Dun Shukaku and resisted even more tenaciously.

They utilized the complex terrain and architecture of their clan's territory to construct defensive barriers and traps. Dense wind blades and fireballs were constantly shot out from the territory, causing considerable trouble for the Iron Wall Ninjas who attempted to attack.

Standing on the back of the giant white dragon, Sasuke Umino looked down at the fierce battle below. He frowned slightly, stretched out his hand, and a highly compressed chakra sphere that emitted a piercing buzzing sound quickly formed in his palm.

"Wind Release: Spiral Shuriken!"

With a flick of his arm, he hurled this terrifying S-rank ultimate ninjutsu directly at the densest area of ​​the Zhuolan clan's defenses.

hum-

boom! ! !
The Spiral Shuriken landed on the Scorching Storm Clan's territory and instantly expanded, unleashing countless fine, needle-like wind blades that frantically sliced ​​and annihilated everything within its range—barriers, traps, buildings, ninjas… everything was instantly decomposed and destroyed.

The Zhuolan clan's defenses were torn open by this attack, creating a huge gap and drastically weakening their resistance.

Umino Sasuke rode the Great White, lowering the altitude, and pushed the Third Kazekage, Chiyo, Scorching Storm Toyojo, and Sandfall Elder, who were bound by black ropes, to the front.

"Elder Zhuolan! Look who this is!" Umino Sasuke's voice echoed across the battlefield through his chakra. "Your Third Kazekage, Elder Chiyo, the head of the Sunagakure clan, and Chief Zhuolan Toyoki are all here. Sunagakure's fate is sealed. Stop making futile resistance. Lay down your weapons and surrender, and I can guarantee the safety of the Zhuolan clan!"

The resistance of the Zhuolan clan visibly faltered, and many ninjas recognized the captured high-ranking members, their faces showing panic and hesitation.

Elder Zhuolan hid behind the dilapidated wall, watching the prisoners in the air. His expression changed constantly, but he still shouted firmly, "Don't even think about it! Our Zhuolan clan only has ninjas who die in battle, not cowards who surrender. Who knows if you've used some kind of illusion technique to disguise yourself!"

Standing beside him was Ye Cang, a woman with long brown hair and a pretty face, but now her expression was full of anger and determination. She also shouted, "That's right! Lord Kazekage and Elder Chiyo will never yield! You invaders of Konoha, don't try to seduce us!"

Sasuke Umino had anticipated things wouldn't go so smoothly. He gestured, and his shadow clone, now the Third Kazekage, struggled to his feet, his face contorted with pain and humiliation. His voice was hoarse as he cried out, "Elder Zhulan, Yekura, we have already failed. Let's not add any more unnecessary casualties. For the future of Sunagakure, surrender..."

These words immediately caused an uproar among the Zhuolan Clan soldiers below.
