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

Chapter 393 Gene Potion
"Gulong——"

Having tasted the sweetness, Umino Sasuke picked another fruit and ate it.

After swallowing the second fruit, a surge of energy rushed in again, and his total chakra level soared once more, reaching about twice the level before consuming the first one. However, the improvement in the "quality" of his chakra and the enhancement effect of his bloodline limit were significantly weaker than those of the first fruit.

make persistent efforts!

The third fruit further slowed down the increase in chakra levels, increasing it by only about 50%, and the improvements in other aspects were significantly reduced.

The fourth, the fifth... until he swallowed the sixth fruit, he felt that his chakra capacity was approaching a certain limit, and the growth became extremely slow. His resistance to the drug was unusually obvious. Even so, his current chakra amount had reached an extremely terrifying level. He was a veritable chakra master, enough to support him to pilot a Gundam for a long time.

Feeling the surging chakra within him, Umino Sasuke's confidence soared. He carefully plucked the remaining three fruits, using the highest-level sealing technique to preserve them properly, preparing to take them back to the laboratory for in-depth research.

He then set up a powerful composite sealing barrier around the cloned divine tree. Even if a Kage-level expert came, it would take a considerable amount of time to forcibly break through the barrier. Once the barrier was attacked, he could sense it immediately, no matter where he was, and could instantly return using the pre-set Flying Thunder God Technique.

After doing all this, Umino Sasuke left the core area of ​​the underground dragon vein with satisfaction.

When he returned to the palace on the ground, he found that the Queen of Loulan was already waiting outside, her beautiful face filled with anxiety and unease, and her eyes were even bloodshot.

"Lord Sasuke, you're finally out!" The Queen rushed forward upon seeing him, her tone filled with relief yet also with new worries.

Sasuke Umino was slightly taken aback. After a conversation, he realized that he had been absorbing the fruit and adapting to the power underground for seven whole days without realizing it.

The queen was left hanging for a week, and during that time the Konoha Anbu completely took over the defense of Loulan without any negotiation or explanation. No wonder she was so anxious. The queen herself changed her address to this Konoha ninja, showing unusual respect.

The Queen was clearly having a difficult time lately, having already made the worst-case scenario assumptions. She believed that Konoha was going to confirm the charges against Loulan for "harboring rogue ninjas and manufacturing weapons of mass destruction," and then impose devastating sanctions on Loulan. Especially when she learned that the commander of this operation was Umino Sasuke, given Umino Sasuke's formidable reputation, he was an even more powerful and ruthless figure in Konoha's iron-blooded faction than Shimura Danzo. No wonder the Queen was so terrified.

That evening, the Queen hosted a grand banquet, ostensibly to entertain Umino Sasuke, but in reality, she wanted to probe for information and secure a glimmer of hope for Loulan.

At the banquet, a dazzling array of delicacies were laid out, but having just absorbed five fruits from the Divine Tree, Sasuke Umino's body was overflowing with energy and he felt no hunger. He only wanted to end this tedious social gathering as soon as possible and go back to consolidate and familiarize himself with his surging power. He simply touched his chopsticks a few times and then stopped eating, his expression slightly indifferent.

This posture, in the eyes of the Queen who felt like each day was an eternity, further confirmed the speculation that "Konoha intends to take drastic measures against Loulan."

She steeled her resolve, gritted her teeth, and decided to resort to her last resort.

She dismissed the servants on either side, personally picked up a pot of fine wine, and gracefully walked to Umino Sasuke's side. With a charming demeanor, she filled his wine cup, her voice so soft and alluring it could melt water: "Lord Sasuke, this is a century-old vintage wine treasured by Loulan. You have been through many battles, please drink this cup to relieve your fatigue."

Umino Sasuke initially wanted to refuse, but the aroma of the sake was indeed exceptionally rich, and considering his extraordinary physique and lack of fear of poison, he accepted the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

The wine entered his throat, mellow and refreshing, indeed a fine wine. Immediately afterwards, a strange heat rose from his stomach, quickly flowing through his limbs and bones, making him feel slightly warm all over.

"Good wine!" Sasuke Umino exclaimed, "This wine seems quite potent."

Little did he know that this was not simply the power of the alcohol, but rather a colorless and odorless royal drug that the Queen had added to the wine. More importantly, this drug combined with the energy of the divine tree fruit that he had not yet fully digested and absorbed, creating a miraculous catalytic reaction that greatly amplified his deep-seated desires.

Seeing that Umino Sasuke's face was flushed and his eyes were less cold than usual and more dreamy, the Queen was secretly pleased and urged him to drink even more. She poured him several more cups, which Umino Sasuke accepted and drank one by one.

As the effects of the alcohol and drugs surged, coupled with the primal desires ignited by the Divine Tree fruit, Umino Sasuke felt that the queen before him was becoming increasingly beautiful and alluring, every smile and gesture filled with temptation.

Seeing that the time was right, the Queen steeled herself and sat down in Umino Sasuke's lap, wrapping her slender arms around his neck and breathing sweetly as she continued to urge him to drink.

With a soft, warm body in his arms, and the alluring scent of her body mixed with the aroma of wine filling his nostrils, Umino Sasuke's last line of rational defense finally crumbled. He let out a low growl, picked up the startled and shy queen, and headed towards the inner palace.

The guards and members of the Iron Wall secret service outside the palace had already sensed that something was wrong. They exchanged glances, silently retreated, and carefully closed the palace doors.

That night, war raged in the Loulan Queen's palace.

The queen sacrificed herself for the survival of the country, while Umino Sasuke, with his strong physique, became exceptionally brave and powerful, tireless, under the dual catalysis of the medicine and the fruit's energy.

If he hadn't realized halfway through that the Queen couldn't take it, and hadn't used his Yang Release power to continuously restore her strength, he probably would have cruelly destroyed her.

The storm gradually subsided as dawn broke.

The palace was in a mess, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.

The Queen collapsed onto the chaise longue as if she had just survived a series of battles. Her hair was disheveled, her body was covered in hickeys, and her face was flushed with tears and extreme exhaustion. She had fallen into a deep sleep.

Umino Sasuke stood by the bed, looking at the sleeping queen with a complicated expression. As the effects of the drug wore off, he fully came to his senses and, recalling the madness of the previous night, couldn't help but rub his temples.

The development of things was somewhat beyond his expectations.

However, since it had already happened, Umino Sasuke naturally ignored it. Moreover, having this special relationship with the Queen of Loulan didn't seem to be a bad thing for him to completely control Loulan and the Dragon Vein.

The first rays of dawn shone through the ornate window frames, illuminating the disheveled bed. Queen Sarah of Loulan fluttered her long eyelashes a few times, slowly opening her eyes. The exhaustion and soreness in her body instantly overwhelmed her, causing her to let out a soft groan.

Immediately, the crazy and shameful memories of last night flooded her mind like a tidal wave, instantly blushing her fair cheeks.

She turned her head slightly and found that Umino Sasuke had already woken up and was leaning against the headboard, his deep eyes quietly watching her with a complex and unfathomable gaze.

Their eyes met, and Sarah was overwhelmed with shame. She instinctively wanted to pull up the quilt to cover herself, but when she thought that she had offered herself to him, she forced herself to suppress the shame.

She took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calm and rational, but there was still a slight, almost imperceptible tremor: "Sasuke, you're awake."

She avoided his gaze and whispered, "Don't worry, everything last night... last night was of my own free will. I also know that you and the Princess of Konoha have a deep bond. I will never use this to pester you, nor will I ask for any title. I only ask that, for the sake of this bond, you be lenient towards Loulan. Loulan is willing to submit to Konoha forever, only asking to preserve its kingdom so that its people can continue to live in peace and prosperity..."

Her voice carried a hint of pleading and resolve, placing herself in an extremely humble position.

Upon hearing this, Umino Sasuke was taken aback at first, then realized that the woman had misunderstood. She thought that he was ignoring her because he was plotting to annex Loulan, or even using the pretext of "harboring rogue ninjas and privately manufacturing weapons of mass destruction" to take action. Her offering herself up was nothing more than a political transaction in which she desperately tried to use her body to exchange for a glimmer of hope for the country and its people.

Having figured this out, he couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated. Looking at the queen in front of him, who was trying to remain calm but whose eyes still held a hint of spring, the unpleasantness he felt from being "tricked" dissipated considerably.

“Your Majesty, I think you have misunderstood.” Sasuke Umino spoke, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable power. “Konoha has no intention of annexing Loulan. As for the matter of the centipede, it will be judged fairly after investigation. As for the Dragon Vein… its power is indeed dangerous, and Konoha will take over its protection to prevent it from being used by criminals. Therefore, Loulan is still Loulan, and you are still the Queen of Loulan.”

Queen Sarah suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with immense joy, as if she had been given a new lease on life: "Really?"

"I never speak recklessly," Sasuke Unno said calmly. "As for the matter between you and me..."

He paused, looking at the Queen's tense yet expectant eyes, and suddenly found it somewhat interesting. He could sense that this woman seemed a bit fickle. After learning that it wasn't a political deal, she seemed to have developed some different feelings for him. Even after their conversation, when Tsunade was mentioned, there was a hint of barely perceptible jealousy in her tone.

Sasuke Umino realized this, but he didn't say anything sweet. A real man doesn't need to explain too much to a woman. To conquer a woman, sometimes actions are more direct and effective than words.

Without saying another word, he bowed down again under Queen Sarah's astonished gaze, declaring his sovereignty and answer through his actions.

"Wait, it's already dawn, um..."

Soon, sounds that made one blush rang out again in the palace.

This time, Umino Sasuke was still brave, but with more composure and control. Queen Sara, half-heartedly resisting, gradually became immersed in it until the sun was high in the sky, when she once again collapsed from exhaustion.

Sasuke Umino got up refreshed, dressed, and left the bedroom filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

As soon as the palace gates were opened, Senju Nawaki stood at the entrance like a door god, arms crossed, expressionless, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Umino Sasuke blushed, then straightened his face and lowered his voice to interrogate, "You little brat! You knew there was something wrong with that wine, why didn't you stop it? What were you up to? Are you thinking of getting a new brother-in-law?"

Thousand Hands Rope Tree chuckled, leaned closer, and replied in a similarly low voice, "Brother-in-law, what are you saying? You'll always be my most respected brother-in-law! I just saw you working so hard for the country, you're exhausted, and you need to relax! Besides, the Queen of Loulan delivered herself to our doorstep, why not take her? It's a perfect opportunity to completely control Loulan, killing two birds with one stone! As for my older sister..."

Senju Nawaki paused, then winked and said, "Can my older sister's charm compare to that of a queen from a small country? Brother-in-law, you're just playing around, having fun! I know what I'm doing, and I promise I won't tell my sister!"

Sasuke Umino was taken aback by his brother-in-law's twisted logic and glared at him irritably: "Hmph, if your sister finds out, I'll say that you and the little queen conspired to drug me, and that I'm just an innocent victim!"

"No, brother-in-law!" Rope Tree quickly begged for mercy, then said seriously, though his tone still carried a hint of teasing, "Seriously, brother-in-law, this Loulan Queen is just a wildflower. She can't possibly enter the family, not even as a concubine. What do I have to worry about? Anyway, my sister is the main wife, so that's fine. Although our Senju clan doesn't have as many wives and concubines as those nobles, we still know what it means to play along. Compared to those nobles, brother-in-law, you're already very chaste! Now, by sacrificing your 'purity,' we, Konoha, can take Loulan without bloodshed. This deal seems like a bargain!"

Sasuke Unno was speechless. It felt like a brother-in-law dragging his brother-in-law to a brothel and justifying it. Luckily, it was just a brother-in-law, not a father-in-law, or his integrity would have been shattered. But since Nawaki had already said so much and seemed to have great confidence in Tsunade, he couldn't be bothered to argue any further.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense, let's get down to business!"

"Yes!" Rope Tree immediately suppressed his smile and quickly reported on the defense arrangements of Loulan, public sentiment, and the progress of the interrogation of Baizu over the past few days.

After finishing his official business, Umino Sasuke returned to the core of the underground dragon vein.

The changes in the cloned divine tree are still surprising. Its height has not continued to increase, but new buds have sprouted on its branches. Although it does not flower and bear fruit as quickly as before under the influence of the power of time and space, judging from its growth cycle, it will probably only take a month or two for another batch of fruit to mature, which is far faster than the growth rate of ordinary plants. It is obviously affected by the power of the dragon vein's time and space.

After confirming that the Divine Tree was in good condition, Umino Sasuke used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at the underground laboratory in the Land of Waves.

He took out a fruit from the divine tree and began to study it in depth.

Dissection analysis under sophisticated instruments revealed that the fruit's structure contained the fundamental mysteries of chakra that he could not fully comprehend, with an extremely high and complex energy level, making it seem unlikely that all its secrets could be fully deciphered in a short period of time.

The fruit materials from the experiment were not wasted; they were all collected and incorporated into a special culture medium. Using one fruit, a dozen or so vials of potion shimmering with a pale purple halo were obtained.
