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

Chapter 407 Six Paths Blessing?

“Rumble——!!!”

The giant ship capsized and crashed into the sea, creating towering waves tens of meters high. The massive whirlpool formed by the sinking ship was comparable to a powerful A-rank water-style ninjutsu, frantically swallowing up the Hidden Mist ninjas struggling to survive on the surrounding sea surface, dragging them along with the broken planks into the cold, dark seabed.

The Third Mizukage possessed exceptional strength and, at the last moment, used the Water Flicker Technique to escape the whirlpool of the sunken ship, landing in a sorry state on the wreckage of a nearby warship that had luckily escaped the collision.

He stared at the armored flagship being swallowed by the sea, and at the god-like figure in mid-air. His face was bloodless, filled only with boundless fear.

"What... what kind of power is this?!" he muttered to himself, his ninja will almost crumbling at this moment. To capsize an ironclad warship with bare hands? Is this really something a ninja can do?
Not only the Third Mizukage, but all the Kirigakure ninja who witnessed this scene had their last shred of courage to resist completely extinguished with the sinking of "Blood Mist No. 2," and despair began to envelop the hearts of every Kirigakure ninja.

"The ironclad warship has been capsized!"

"We're fucked."

"A demon, he is a real demon..."

"No! We still have a chance!" The Third Mizukage shook his head violently, forcibly dispelling the fear in his heart. His eyes turned ferociously to the petite figure on another warship not far away. "Yagura! Quickly activate your Tailed Beast Transformation! Use the power of the Three-Tails to smash through these sunken ships and crush all obstacles! Open a path to survival for the fleet!"

He knew this was his last chance. Only if the Three-Tails' enormous body appeared could he clear a bloody path. As for whether Yagura would lose control and undergo full tailed beast transformation, potentially causing indiscriminate destruction, he no longer cared. As long as he could escape, even if only a few ships escaped, Kirigakure would still have hope.

Yagura's youthful face was filled with solemnity. He knew that the situation had reached its most dangerous moment. He nodded heavily, no longer hesitating, and forcibly extracted the chakra of the Three-Tails Isobu from his body.

"Uhhhhhh-!"

Crimson, raging tailed beast chakra erupted from his body like flames, instantly forming a thick tailed beast cloak.

One, two... Chakra tails rapidly condensed, and Yagura's body began to tremble violently, a look of pain appearing on his face. Clearly, given his current age and control, forcibly unleashing the Two-Tails was already his limit, and he could lose control at any moment, completely devoured by the Three-Tails' will.

However, just as the second tail was fully formed, Yagura was preparing to risk losing control and break through the exit channel.

"Pfft!"

A dark shadow silently emerged from the water and precisely wrapped around the two enormous tails made of chakra behind Yagura Karatachi.

This dark figure was none other than Samehada, whose appearance had drastically changed. At this moment, it no longer resembled the Samehada sword at all; it was clearly a living, breathing, ferocious beast.

"Chirp chirp chirp—" Samehada let out a chilling chirp, opened its huge mouth, and suddenly clung to Yagura's tailed beast cloak.

The next moment, an unimaginably powerful suction force erupted from Samehada's body.

The surging tailed beast chakra on Yagura's body, like a flood bursting its banks, rushed uncontrollably and wildly toward Samehada. The two chakra tails that had just condensed became illusory and shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What kind of monster is this?!" Yagura Karatachi was horrified. He felt his power being rapidly drained away, and even maintaining consciousness became difficult.

He tried to struggle, but all resistance seemed futile in the face of Samehada's terrifying devouring power that specifically targets chakra.

"Roar! Samehada! You traitor! How dare you devour my chakra! When I get out, I'll tear you to pieces!!"

Deep within Yagura's consciousness, the furious roar of the Three-Tailed Isobu echoed, but its threatening words were meaningless to Samehada at this moment.

Samehada was originally the companion parasite of the Three-Tails and was extremely familiar with the Three-Tails' chakra. After consuming a lot of the God Tree Fruit gene evolution potion, it not only fully recovered its summoning beast body, but its chakra absorption ability also increased by more than ten times. In terms of strength alone, it has already firmly entered the Kage level. Although it is still not as good as the Three-Tails in its complete form, it is a nemesis to deal with a Jinchuriki who has not yet fully transformed into a tailed beast. It can be said to be easy to capture.

If Yagura had decisively undergone his full-scale tailed beast transformation from the beginning, he might have been able to break free with his massive size and absolute strength. However, he only maintained his two-tailed form, making him an easy target for Samehada.

In just a few seconds, the tailed beast cloak on Yagura Karatachi completely dissipated, and his two tails also disappeared. His face was ashen, his eyes rolled back, and the intense weakness brought on by the depletion of his chakra overwhelmed him instantly, causing him to faint and collapse to the ground.

Samehada licked its lips with lingering satisfaction, then coiled its thick body around the unconscious Yagura, before swishing its tail and leisurely swimming towards the direction where Sasuke Umino was.

All of this happened so fast; from Samehada's appearance to Yagura's subjugation, it only took about ten seconds.

The Third Mizukage stared in disbelief at the scene, his mind almost blank.

"The Samehada... Samehada?! It's become like this?!" He simply couldn't believe his eyes. When did that Seven Ninja Swords of the Seven Ninja Swords transform into such a terrifying summoning beast? What on earth did the White Blood Demon do to it?!

Under the watchful eyes of countless terrified figures, Samehada carried the unconscious Yagura Karatachi and swam to the sunken ironclad ship. Umino Sasuke released the Light-Heavy Rock Technique and landed on Samehada. Samehada affectionately rubbed its large head against his trouser leg and made a flattering "chirp" sound.

Umino Sasuke completely ignored the unconscious Yagura Karatachi, the Jinchūriki, and simply patted Samehada's head, his gaze calmly sweeping over the lifeless remnants of the Kirigakure army.

He stood alone, blocking the only exit of the waterway in Wave Moon Bay. Behind him was the Konoha Iron Wall Legion fleet, which was on high alert, and to his side and below was one side of the sunken "Blood Mist No. 2".

An overwhelming aura, as if it were a physical force, pressed down on the minds of every Mist Ninja.

"Lord Mizukage...why not surrender?" Ao's voice, filled with bitterness and despair, rang in the Third Mizukage's ears. "For the sake of Kirigakure, preserve our last strength. If we all perish here, the Land of Water's maritime dominance will likely be replaced by the Land of Waves!"

The Third Mizukage shuddered violently. He knew perfectly well that what Ao said was true. Looking at his subordinates, who were dead and wounded and whose morale was on the verge of collapse, and then at that figure who seemed like an insurmountable chasm, a deep sense of powerlessness swept over him. Surrender? It seemed to be the only option that could preserve some of his strength.

However, just as his lips moved as if he wanted to surrender, an extreme sense of unwillingness and pride as the Mizukage overwhelmed him once again.

"No! We still have a chance!" The Third Mizukage suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, pointing at the lone figure of Sasuke Umino, and roared hysterically, "He's too arrogant! Even the strongest has their limits! Everyone, listen to my command! Charge! Besiege the White Blood Demon! If we can take him down, we can turn the tide! Charge!!"

Before he finished speaking, the Third Mizukage took the lead, stepping on the waves and transforming into a streak of light as he charged towards Umino Sasuke, attempting to rekindle the last vestiges of courage in his subordinates.

Driven to the brink of despair and blinded by rage, the Mist Ninja, led by the Mizukage, roared in despair and surged towards Umino Sasuke from all directions like a tidal wave.

Faced with the desperate charge of hundreds and thousands of Mist Ninja, Sasuke Umino showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he revealed a mocking sneer.

"Stubborn."

He didn't even bother with hand seals; with a slight thought, the vast, ocean-like Magnet Release chakra once again spread out.

"Magnetic Release: Return of a Thousand Blades!" *Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!*

The next moment, something happened that sent chills down the spines of all the charging Mist Ninja.

The ninja tool pouches they carried contained a large number of kunai, shuriken, and even some metal headbands and accessories. At this moment, they all lost control and shot out automatically, as if they had been given life.

Their target was none other than their original owner.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft—!"

The dull thuds of sharp blades piercing flesh echoed like popping beans.

The Hidden Mist ninja at the forefront, before even understanding what was happening, felt a sharp pain in his chest, throat, and brow.

They looked down in shock and saw the kunai shuriken that had once belonged to them, deeply embedded in their bodies.

"Uh... how could this happen?!"

"My kunai..."

Screams rang out continuously as hordes of Mist Ninja fell like wheat being harvested, their blood instantly staining the entire sea red.

This bizarre and terrifying scene completely shattered the momentum of the Mist Village's subsequent charge.

"Quickly throw away your ninja tools!"

"And throw away the kunai in your hand too!"

"A devil! He's a devil who wields blades!"

The surviving Mist Ninjas who had charged forward were terrified and tore off their ninja tool bags. Some even threw away the kunai they were holding tightly as if they were hot potatoes, as if they were death warrants rather than weapons.

Those from Kirigakure who used ninja swords gripped their blades tightly, fearing they might also be controlled and suffer a backlash, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at Umino Sasuke.

Sasuke Umino spared no expense in expending a large amount of chakra for this very effect. Large-scale army battles are often protracted wars, and without metal blades, combat power will be greatly reduced. After all, chakra is limited, and how many ninjutsu can one unleash? Once chakra is exhausted, a tiger with its teeth pulled is no better than a sick cat.

Ordinary Hidden Mist Villagers couldn't even get close to Sasuke Umino's "Magnetic Blade Storm." Only the strongest, the Third Mizukage, managed to block the violent blades aimed at him with his powerful Ice Release defense and rushed to Sasuke Umino's side.

"Ice Release: Ice Rock Hall!" The Third Mizukage slammed his hands on the sea surface, and a thick ice wall rose from the ground, blocking him and Umino Sasuke.

"Oh? Your Ice Release has improved somewhat." Umino Sasuke raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of surprise, as if he were commenting on a junior.

"Hmph! I have to 'thank' you for your 'guidance' back then!" The Third Mizukage gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with humiliation and hatred.

The defeat and freezing of Umino Sasuke in the Land of Whirlpools last time was a huge blow to him. After returning, he reflected deeply on his experience and worked hard to improve his Ice Release, feeling that he had mastered it.

"Is that so?" Umino Sasuke remained noncommittal, casually forming a few hand seals. "Then let me see if your 'gift of gratitude' is substantial enough."

"Ice Release: Ice Dragon Bullet Technique!"

A colossal ice dragon, far larger and more solid than an ordinary ice dragon, so lifelike that even its scales were clearly visible, roared as it materialized in front of Umino Sasuke, carrying a chilling aura, and crashed into the Third Mizukage's ice wall.

The Third Mizukage dared not be negligent and also formed hand seals: "Ice Release: Ice Dragon Bullet Technique!"

An equally formidable ice dragon charged forward.

The two ice dragons collided violently in mid-air.

"Boom!"

Surprisingly, the ice dragon condensed by the Third Mizukage only lasted for less than two seconds after coming into contact with Sasuke Umino's ice dragon before it began to crumble from head to toe. Sasuke Umino's ice dragon, although it shrank in size, still maintained its complete form and continued to charge towards the Third Mizukage, whose expression had changed drastically, with its remaining power.

"What?! This is impossible!" The Third Mizukage exclaimed in shock, condensing an ice wall in defense.

"Bam—!"

The ice dragon crashed into the ice wall, scattering ice shards everywhere.

The Third Mizukage barely managed to block the attack, but the shock he felt was beyond words.

His Ice Release technique was completely defeated in a head-on confrontation?!
How long has it been? Last time in the Land of Whirlpools, the opponent's Ice Release was clearly far inferior to his own, and he only won because of the "Frost Orb." But now, without relying on the "Frost Orb," the opponent has actually surpassed him in Ice Release alone!
How can this be? !
Even with the blessing of the Sage of Six Paths, his progress couldn't possibly be this rapid!
"I don't believe it! Your Ice Release can really surpass mine!!" The Third Mizukage was like a madman, his hands forming hand seals at the fastest speed he had ever done, unleashing a massive amount of chakra without reservation. The surrounding temperature plummeted, and even the sea began to freeze over.

"Take this! Ice Release: Nine Dragons Binding Kill!"

This is his trump card, an S-rank forbidden ice technique.

Nine enormous ice dragons rose from the sea, each containing extreme cold and immense power capable of crushing everything, rushing towards Umino Sasuke from all directions and sealing off all his space to dodge.

Faced with this terrifying forbidden technique, Sasuke Umino's eyes remained calm, even showing a hint of boredom.

"You have a small skill, but you still dare to do the same thing?"

His hands were also forming hand seals, six seals per second, so fast that they left afterimages, and he arrived first even though he was the one who struck last.

"Ice Release: Nine Dragons Binding Kill!"

Om-!
The same technique, when performed by Umino Sasuke, had a completely different power. Nine more refined, more agile ice crystal dragons, radiating a chilling blue light, roared and fiercely met the Third Mizukage's nine dragons.
