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

Chapter 394 Great Increase in Power
These potions contain pure and abundant energy, far exceeding that of the Bloodline Fusion Elixir, and their properties are relatively mild, similar to Life Yang No. 1, making them easy to absorb.

He picked up a vial, tilted his head back, and swallowed it. The surging energy flowed into his body again, but the effect was exactly as he expected. Because he had directly consumed six fruits before, his drug resistance was already very obvious, and the improvement was not significant.

"Chirp! Chirp!" Just then, Samehada, standing to the side, let out an impatient chirp, wriggling its body and staring intently at the remaining potion with its large eyes, filled with extreme longing.

Sasuke Umino smiled slightly. He had developed a resistance to the drug, but Samehada had never eaten the fruit.

He took out a vial of medicine and fed it to Samehada.

As the drug entered his body, Samehada's massive body shuddered violently, then began to expand at a visible speed. His already astonishing chakra level surged again, and the "quality" of his chakra began to undergo a leap in transformation, with his aura rising steadily.

He finally broke through that bottleneck and reached the Shadow level.

Although it is still no match for the Three-Tails Isobu, Samehada is now an absolutely terrifying weapon of war, with its chakra quantity and quality undergoing earth-shattering changes.

Seeing the dramatic changes in Samehada, Umino Sasuke naturally wouldn't show favoritism. He left the laboratory and found an open space on the coast of the Land of Waves.

"Psychic art!"

As the white mist dissipated, a gigantic white creature lowered its head affectionately, nuzzling Umino Sasuke with its massive beak and making cooing sounds.

As Sasuke Umino's strength rapidly increased, Byakuya could no longer keep up with him and was mostly used as a means of transportation.

Umino Sasuke patted it affectionately and took out a potion made from the fruit of the Divine Tree.

Big White seemed to sense the amazing energy contained in the potion and became extremely excited.

After taking the medicine, Big White's reaction was much more intense than Samehada's.

"Wow—"

It let out a high-pitched cry, its feathers stood on end, and countless energies seemed to surge within its body. The faint trace of ancestral bloodline within it was completely activated and began to evolve wildly.

Sasuke Umino could clearly sense that this medicine mainly affected the quantity and quality of chakra for creatures with higher bloodlines, while for creatures with ordinary bloodlines, the effect was phenomenal, almost equivalent to the legendary gene evolution fluid.

Big White's body began to grow at a visible rate, and at the same time, it felt a strong hunger.

Sasuke Umino was prepared and immediately summoned several huge sealing scrolls.

boom! boom! boom--!
Fresh sea fish and specially made energy blocks were piled up like small mountains.

Like a bottomless pit, the giant white dog began to eat voraciously, devouring tens of tons of food at an astonishing rate. Its body continued to swell in the process, its feathers became harder and sharper, and its eyes became increasingly piercing.

Finally, after consuming a massive amount of food, Big White let out a satisfied croak, collapsed to the ground, and fell into a deep sleep, its body still absorbing the last of its energy, undergoing its final transformation.

Three days flew by.

When it awoke again, its size had become enormous. Although it was not as sturdy as Gamabunta, its wingspan exceeded 100 meters. Its massive body stood there, casting a large shadow, and the pressure it exuded reached the level of a top-tier summoning beast, in no way inferior to terrifying beings like Manda and Gamabunta.

Moreover, thanks to its air superiority, its actual combat capability may even be superior.

Big White lowered its head affectionately and gently nuzzled Umino Sasuke, its eyes filled with gratitude and dependence.

Sasuke Umino stroked the great white's smooth, metallic feathers with satisfaction, and was about to tell it to go find food when a slightly awkward but exceptionally clear voice rang out.

"Thank you... Master!"

Umino Sasuke was startled and looked at Byakuya in surprise: "Byakuya? Was that you speaking?"

The massive falcon head bobbed up and down, its sharp eagle eyes revealing anthropomorphic joy and a hint of curiosity at having just acquired a new ability: "Yes...yes, Master, I've learned to speak."

Sasuke Umino was deeply shaken. Whether a summoning beast can speak often depends not only on its strength, but also on its bloodline and lineage. Wild summoning beasts, especially bird summoning beasts, are extremely rare when they can awaken the ability to speak. Kakashi's ninja dogs and Jiraiya's toads are examples of summoning beasts from lineages. Byakuya was originally a falcon-type summoning beast with a thin ancestral bloodline. Now, it has been able to forcibly enhance its bloodline and awaken the ability to speak with this potion. Based on this alone, it is enough to make it the undisputed "ancestor" of this lineage of summoning beasts.

Having just gained the ability to speak, Baymax was clearly very excited, like a curious child, constantly asking various questions in his still slightly stuttering words: "Master... the sea... is so big, what's over there? Is there anything delicious?..."

Sasuke patiently talked to it for a while before sending it off to find food at sea. With the strength of Big White as a top-tier summoning beast, as long as it doesn't provoke those Kage-level powerhouses or tailed beasts, it can practically roam freely in this sea area. Instead, he specifically instructed it not to transform into an evil dragon and attack islanders and merchant caravans. It would be best if it could find a resource-rich uninhabited island as its nest.

After all, with such a huge size and corresponding appetite, it is destined that it cannot always be by one's side. The best option is to summon it when needed, like Manda and Bunta.

In contrast, although Samehada has also grown considerably in size, it can still be used as a conventional weapon. Moreover, it mainly feeds on chakra and has a higher growth potential than Byakuya. He still has more than thirty doses of Divine Tree Fruit potion. When the next batch of fruits ripens, he can refine even more, and he can continue to feed Samehada until it develops obvious drug resistance.

After arranging for the Great White, Umino Sasuke used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the Loulan Palace.

He had barely appeared when Queen Sarah, having received the news, rushed to find him.

After a few days apart, Her Majesty seemed even more radiant than before. Upon seeing Umino Sasuke, she unabashedly threw herself into his arms, her eyes sparkling with spring and her tenderness overflowing, clearly having tasted the sweetness of love.

Sasuke Umino laughed heartily, then swept the Queen up in his arms and carried her towards the palace.

Now he is incredibly strong and has so much energy that he has nowhere to vent it, so he's just getting some exercise.

The result was predictable. Although Her Majesty tried her best to please him, she was no match for him and was soon defeated, falling into a deep sleep covered in sweat.

Umino Sasuke used his Yang Release technique to relieve his fatigue and restore his strength.

Sara slowly awoke, feeling the soreness and surge of energy in her body. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Sasuke, you... you're so strong! Are all ninjas' physiques this terrifying? It seems that in order to satisfy you, I'll have to find a way to refine my chakra and become a ninja myself..."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Unno smiled confidently: "The one with a strong physique isn't a ninja, it's me."

This is no exaggeration. Before consuming the six fruits of the Divine Tree, although his physique was strong, he mainly relied on Lightning Release Chakra Mode and Body Activation Technique. He was still quite different from the Third Raikage, a peak Kage-level ninja who specialized in taijutsu. Now, his body has undergone a transformative enhancement from the Divine Tree fruits, and in terms of physical strength alone, he is absolutely no less than the Third Raikage.

Seeing the Queen's eyes filled with both fear and desire, Umino Sasuke once again transformed into a hungry wolf and pounced. Another fierce battle ensued, until the Queen collapsed from exhaustion once more. Only then did he finally emerge from the palace refreshed, showing no signs of fatigue on his face. Instead, he felt relaxed and at ease, and the slight agitation in his blood and energy caused by his surge in strength over the past few days had subsided considerably.

"It seems that the energy of this divine tree fruit is too great. Although it has countless benefits after absorption, it also has some subtle side effects, such as making a person's blood and energy too vigorous, which requires an appropriate way to release it..." Umino Sasuke pondered to himself, recalling a similar feeling of blood and energy surging when he first took the honey-based energy block, only this time it was more subtle and intense.

As soon as he stepped out of the palace, he saw Senju Nawaki leaning against a pillar with his arms crossed, looking at him strangely: "Brother-in-law, you haven't actually fallen for this Loulan Queen, have you? Be careful, or I'll tell my sister when we get back!"

Umino Sasuke flicked him on the head in an annoyed tone: "Isn't this all the trouble you caused? For the sake of Konoha's great cause of Loulan, I'm sacrificing myself for the greater good, feeding the tiger with my own body. A tigress is hard to tame, okay? Do you think it's easy for me?"

Rope Tree covered his forehead, looking doubtful: "Really? I get the feeling you're putting personal matters before public duties and enjoying it?"

"Alright!" Sasuke Umino made a move to leave. "Then I'll tell Tsunade right now that her good brother conspired with the Queen of Loulan to drug her brother-in-law for the so-called greater good of Konoha. Let's go, let's go talk to him!"

"No, no, no! Brother-in-law! I was wrong!"

Nawaki turned pale with fright and quickly grabbed Umino Sasuke, who had a deep psychological trauma from his older sister's iron fist.

"Just kidding, absolutely just kidding. Brother-in-law, you are a man of great righteousness, sacrificing yourself for the country... uh, I mean working hard for the country. You've worked so hard."

Umino Sasuke snorted. He had finally dealt with his brother-in-law, but to be on the safe side, he still had to pay him some hush money.

He pondered for a moment, then took out a potion made from the fruit of a divine tree that emitted a faint purple glow from his pocket and handed it over: "Here, don't say that your brother-in-law didn't think of you when he had something good. This is a newly developed secret medicine for gene evolution. The quantity is extremely limited and it is very rare. Drink it quickly. It can only be taken on the spot. You must not take it away or tell anyone."

Rope Tree took the potion and instantly felt the immense and pure energy it contained; every cell in his body sent out signals of extreme desire.

He was shocked: "What kind of potion is this? The energy fluctuations are astonishing! Brother-in-law, this is such a precious thing, you should take it yourself to improve your strength! Improving top-tier combat power like yours in Konoha is the best choice!"

"Just drink it, stop asking so many questions!" Sasuke Umino waved his hand. "I've already taken it. This stuff has a high tolerance, drinking more won't do any good. Hurry up!"

Seeing that Umino Sasuke was determined, Nawaki stopped refusing, took a deep breath, uncorked the medicine, and drank it all in one gulp.

The moment the medicine entered his throat, Rope Tree trembled violently.

The effect was far more astonishing than when Da Bai took it. It wasn't that his foundation was worse than Da Bai's, but rather that the potion seemed to resonate and react amazingly with his Thousand Hands bloodline.

A surge of energy erupted within him, his total chakra soared at an unprecedented rate, and more importantly, a sense of evolution at a life level arose spontaneously.

The dormant immortal bloodline within him was completely activated.

Centered on him, the flowers and plants in the surrounding corridors and flowerbeds seemed to receive some kind of nourishment, and began to grow, sprout, and bloom at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Wood Release?!" Sasuke Umino's gaze sharpened, his heart pounding with shock.

He immediately formed a hand seal, creating a sealed barrier that enveloped the two of them, preventing outsiders from noticing the unusual phenomenon.

Half a day later.

Nawaki slowly opened his eyes, feeling the earth-shattering changes in his chakra, his face filled with unbelievable ecstasy.

"Brother-in-law! What kind of potion is this?! It's incredible! My chakra feels like it's increased several times over!" He was so excited that he was almost incoherent.

“Top secret.” Sasuke Umino interrupted him, his expression serious. “Remember, keep this to yourself and don’t mention it to anyone.”

Nawaki nodded emphatically, knowing full well the bloodshed that would ensue if word got out about this transformative drug.

"Ah!"

Rope Tree then smelled a strong floral fragrance and sneezed.

Only then did they notice that the area inside the barrier seemed to have turned into a small garden, with abnormally lush flowers and plants.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? How come these flowers and plants are growing so fast?"

Umino Sasuke laughed and said, "Feel the nature of your chakra right now."

Upon hearing this, Rope Tree closed his eyes and concentrated, his brows furrowing slightly. Then, an expression of unbelievable ecstasy gradually appeared on his face.

He finally opened his eyes, trembling as he opened his right palm.

laugh!
A vibrant green sapling sprouted from his palm out of thin air and quickly grew into a lush, leafy tree.

"Wood...Wood Release?! I've awakened Grandpa's Wood Release?!" Nawaki's voice trembled with excitement. He looked up sharply at Umino Sasuke, his eyes instantly reddening. "Brother-in-law! Am I dreaming?"

Umino Sasuke laughed and flicked his forehead again, quite hard: "Is this a dream now?"

"Ouch! It's not a dream! It's real! Haha! It's real!" Rope Tree covered his forehead and jumped up with joy like a child. All his composure and competence vanished at this moment, leaving only the purest joy and excitement.

Looking at his bright, sunny smile, which seemed to bring back memories of his youth, Umino Sasuke felt quite gratified.

Having experienced the infighting within Konoha and the brutality of the battlefield, Nawaki had been suppressing his inner turmoil. Now, he has finally awakened Wood Release, which seems to have unlocked his inner knot and allowed him to regain some of his former brilliance.

"Alright, stop being so happy." Sasuke Umino's smile faded, and he solemnly instructed, "Go and familiarize yourself with and consolidate your power. Remember, never reveal your Wood Release to outsiders, especially in the village."

Rope Tree quickly suppressed his joy, his expression becoming extremely solemn: "I understand, brother-in-law, don't worry."

Having experienced so much, he was no longer a political novice. He knew very well what the reappearance of the Wood Release bloodline limit, especially when it appeared on a direct descendant of the Senju clan, meant. It would not only attract the madness and assassination attempts of other ninja villages, but even within Konoha, not everyone would necessarily be happy to see it happen.
