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

Chapter 408 One man is in charge

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Eighteen ice dragons were frantically strangling, colliding, and tearing each other apart in the airspace above the exit of Boyue Bay Channel.

The sound of ice crystals shattering was like thousands of pieces of glass exploding at the same time. A terrifying ice storm swept out, freezing a large area of ​​the sea instantly. Even the narrow waterway at the exit of Moon Bay was completely blocked by the thick ice layer.

Such a clash of ice-style techniques was so spectacular and terrifying that it left the ninjas on both sides speechless.

In the end, amidst countless shocked gazes, Sasuke Umino's released ice dragons, at the cost of five of them, completely tore apart the Third Mizukage's nine ice dragons.

The remaining four ice dragons, though shrunken in size, still carried a chilling killing intent as they savagely attacked the pale-faced Third Mizukage.

"Ice Release: Multiple Ice Walls!"

The Third Mizukage used his last strength to build layers upon layers of ice walls in front of him.

“Bang! Bang! Bang——!”

The ice dragon crashed repeatedly, shattering the ice wall continuously.

When the last ice dragon crashed into the ice wall, the Third Mizukage staggered backward, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Although he managed to block it, he was already at his last gasp.

He gazed at the figure on the sea whose aura remained unfathomable, his eyes finally filled with boundless despair. The difference in strength had become so vast that it utterly extinguished any thought of resistance.

"I... surrender!" The Third Mizukage opened his mouth with difficulty, trying to preserve the last bit of power of Kirigakure.

However, Sasuke Umino's cold voice interrupted him.

"Don't you think it's too late to surrender now?"

The Third Mizukage's pupils constricted sharply, a deadly sense of crisis instantly engulfing him: "You don't intend to annihilate us all—"

But the words are not finished yet.

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Sasuke Umino's figure vanished from the spot without warning.

In the next instant, he appeared behind the Third Mizukage.

On the Third Mizukage's body, there was an almost imperceptible spatial mark that flashed by.

"When...did the spatial imprint leave its mark?!" The Third Mizukage could only manage to conjure this thought in his mind.

"Rachel!"

Sasuke Umino's right hand, wrapped in highly concentrated white lightning, easily pierced the Third Mizukage's chest from behind, instantly destroying his heart.

"Huh?!" The Third Mizukage's body stiffened abruptly. He looked down in disbelief at the lightning hand emerging from his chest, blood gushing from the wound and the corner of his mouth.

"You really think I'd let the tiger return to the mountain without any backup plan? How naive." Umino Sasuke whispered coldly in his ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear.

The last light in the Third Mizukage's eyes dimmed completely, and he died with endless regret and confusion.

He only realized on his deathbed that ever since he was captured in the Land of Whirlpools, his life and death had been out of his own hands, and that Sasuke Umino had already planted the Flying Thunder God mark on him.

This mark is virtually undetectable and almost impossible to remove. Once marked, one's life or death is no longer in one's own hands. So far, it has only been unconsciously removed and rendered ineffective when the fourth Raikage's successor, A, was cultivating Black Lightning.

Sasuke Umino withdrew his bloody hand expressionlessly, and the Third Mizukage's body slumped into the cold seawater, where it was wrapped up by Samehada. The underground laboratory of the Land of Waves gained another high-value work of art.

"Mizukage-sama!!"

"Lord Mizukage died so easily!!"

"The White Blood Demon killed our Water Shadow!!"

After a brief silence, the Mist Shadow faction erupted in earth-shattering cries and utter collapse.

Even after enduring the brutal baptism of the initial Blood Mist, when the Mizukage, who symbolized the village's highest martial prowess and spiritual pillar, was so easily killed before their eyes, the remaining Kirigakure ninja could no longer maintain their Blood Mist will.

"Konoha will not accept surrender! The White Blood Demon wants to kill us all!" Qing shouted hoarsely, suppressing his grief and fear. "Fight him! Split up and break through! Every one of us who can escape is one more person!"

With bloodshot eyes, the remaining members of the Mist Ninja charged madly toward Umino Sasuke, trying to cut a bloody path through him.

"No matter how many there are, they are still ants!"

Sasuke Unno looked disdainful at the Mist Ninja rushing towards him to their deaths.

"Thunder Escape Chakra Mode!"

“Crackling—!”

A blinding white burst of lightning erupted, and the lightning armor, flowing with incandescent plasma light, instantly covered his entire body, far more violent and suffocating than the Third Raikage.

"kill!"

Sasuke Umino transformed into a true white lightning bolt, charging fearlessly into the ranks of the Hidden Mist Village.

Wherever it went, severed limbs and broken arms flew everywhere.

Whether it's kunai, ninja swords, water release, wind release, or other ninjutsu, when they strike the incandescent lightning armor, they can't even create a ripple before being instantly vaporized and decomposed by the high-temperature plasma layer.

His hands were like knives, wrapped with highly concentrated lightning blades. He didn't need any fancy skills; his simplest slashes and thrusts were like the scythe of death, injuring anyone who touched him and killing anyone who came near him.

No single Mist Ninja could withstand a single move from him.

He was like a reef standing in the sea, while Wuyin was like the crashing waves. No matter how loud the waves were, they could not shake the reef in the slightest. Instead, they crashed into the reef and were shattered to pieces.

The Third Raikage was able to fight against ten thousand Iwa ninja for three days and three nights with this technique, and now, Sasuke Umino, whose lightning armor far surpasses that of the Third Raikage, is facing the remnants of the Kirigakure army of less than a thousand men with ease, like a tiger among sheep. However, the Kirigakure are not completely mindless lambs to the slaughter. Driven by the absolute difference in strength and their will to survive, they quickly realize that a direct confrontation with this white demon is simply suicide.

Thus, the remaining nearly one hundred warships, large and small, like a school of startled fish, all changed direction and no longer tried to break through the main channel blocked by Umino Sasuke and the sunken ship. Instead, they rushed desperately towards the dangerous reef areas on both sides of Hagetsu Bay, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.

They're gambling on a probability!
With so many ships rushing together, surely some will be lucky enough to avoid hitting the reefs. Once they break out of Boyue Bay and enter the vast ocean, they can scatter and escape, and some will survive.

At that moment, the instinct for survival overcame the fear of the reef.

However, reality is always cruel.

"Bang! Crack—!"

"Ah! We've hit a reef!"

"Jump ship!"

"help me!"

One after another, the sounds of impact and screams rang out. Warships continued to break apart in the reef area and sink rapidly. However, there were a dozen or so lucky warships or smaller, more agile ones that narrowly avoided the main reefs and, with a ship full of terrified ninja, successfully made their way out of Hagetsuki Bay.

Even two large warships were affected, but only a few sealed compartments were flooded, so there was no risk of them sinking.

However, before these Mist Ninjas who rushed out could even feel relieved, their hearts sank to the bottom again.

Waiting for them outside were the main fleet of the Konoha Iron Wall Legion, which had begun to form an attack formation, and the Land of Waves submarine force, which had been waiting for a long time.

The Konoha fleet's ballistae and explosive tag catapults rained down like a thousand drops of dew, while the Land of Waves' submarines precisely launched torpedoes and chakra cannons, targeting the Kirigakure warships that attempted to escape.

On the sea, an even more desperate chase began.

Unlike on land, on the vast ocean, without the cover of complex terrain, the broken-out Mist Ninja are the most conspicuous targets.

Many Kirigakure ninja abandoned their ships and dived into the water to try to escape underwater, but under the tight blockade and search by the Konoha and Land of Waves allied forces, only a few Hozuki clan ninja or Jonin proficient in water release had a slight chance of escaping, and very few actually managed to break free.

The battle, or rather the one-sided encirclement, lasted for less than an hour.

After the last Hidden Mist warship attempting to escape was torn to pieces by the combined ninjutsu of the Wind Release squadron, and the Hidden Mist ninjas attempting to flee underwater were also eliminated, the entire Waigetsu Bay and its surrounding waters finally gradually returned to calm.

This sea area has been stained a light red, with countless planks, corpses and debris floating on it, telling the story of the extremely brutal annihilation battle that just took place.

A deafening cheer erupted aboard the Konoha Iron Wall Legion's warships!
"We win! We win!"

"Annihilate the main force of the Hidden Mist Fleet!"

"Great! The threat to the east of the Land of Fire has been eliminated!"

"Long live the Commander! Long live the Iron Wall Legion!"

Everyone's faces were filled with the joy and pride of victory.

After this battle, Kirigakure's last remaining naval mobility was completely destroyed, and for at least ten years, the Land of Water will be unable to pose a substantial threat to the eastern coast of the Land of Fire.

"As long as we defeat Iwagakure and win the battle at Takigakure, Konoha will be the biggest winner of the Second Shinobi World War!" Nara Shikaku looked at the cheering ninjas and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

The cheers were deafening, celebrating this resounding victory. However, in stark contrast to this enthusiastic atmosphere were the Sunagakure ninja servants, whose faces were filled with complex and indescribable expressions.

There was no cheering, no jubilation; instead, there was a deep-seated shock and fear, especially when they looked at the bow of the Zhenfeng ship, where Umino Sasuke was carrying the unconscious Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Yagura Karatachi, in one hand and the cold corpse of the Third Mizukage in the other.

That thing called fear almost materialized. Was this the true power of the "White Blood Demon" who had conquered their homeland and plunged Sunagakure into an abyss? Magnet Release to control ships, capsizing boats with bare hands, Ice Release to crush the Mizukage, Lightning Armor that made them invincible against a thousand armies... These inhuman powers made them tremble from the depths of their souls. So, Sunagakure's defeat was not unjust at all.

Of course, there were also some Sand Ninja with dark minds. Amidst their fear, they even developed a twisted sense of balance. Their Sand Village had been ravaged by the White Blood Demon, and now it was finally Kirigakure's turn.

A despicable mentality of "if we're going to have bad luck, we'll all have bad luck together" is quietly spreading.

Yekura arrived at the bow of the Zhenfeng ship. Her beautiful face was drained of color, and her lips trembled slightly. She stared at the corpse of the Third Mizukage in Umino Sasuke's hands, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

She couldn't help but ask, "How did you manage to kill the Third Mizukage so easily? That was the Third Mizukage!"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Umino glanced at her sideways, his eyes indifferent. He naturally wouldn't reveal his trump card—the Flying Thunder God Mark—so he spoke in a tone that was both contemptuous and matter-of-fact:
"In water battles, I am invincible! I only need to secretly condense a piece of ice as a spatial coordinate to replace the Flying Thunder God Kunai and arrive in an instant. The Third Mizukage was foolish enough to dare to fight me at sea; he was simply courting death."

His words were half true and half false. He emphasized the environmental advantages while cleverly attributing the activation conditions of the Flying Thunder God Technique to the "ice coordinates," thus misleading Yekura's judgment.

As expected, Ye Cang believed it to be true, and a terrifying image instantly appeared in his mind: on the endless sea, Umino Sasuke, with the omnipresent nature of Ice Release, could condense Flying Thunder God coordinates at any time, and his mobility would reach an unbelievable level.

This means that as long as he is in the water, he is almost invincible, forming a terrifying "invincible domain"!
"Ice Release plus Flying Thunder God... in the water!" Yecang muttered to himself, a bone-chilling cold rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

She realized that she had greatly underestimated how terrifying this man was. Such a terrifying combination of divine techniques could probably only be barely resisted by the Third Raikage, who had mastered the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its extreme, with absolute defense.
Thinking about the future fate of Sunagakure and its current predicament, like fish on a chopping board, Yekura felt a great sense of unease and powerlessness once again. She bit her lower lip, a struggle flashing across her face, but in the end, she seemed to have made up her mind.

She took a deep breath, trying to soften her expression, even adding a hint of allure. She took two steps forward, her voice much softer: "Sasuke, this great victory is truly... congratulations."

Sasuke Umino was a man of great stature, and he immediately noticed Yekura's abrupt change in attitude and her awkward "flirting."

He raised an eyebrow, his face revealing undisguised surprise and amusement: "What are you trying to do? I still prefer your previous unruly self. This sudden change is a bit unusual for me."

"You!" Ye Cang's face turned red and then pale from his blunt words, and the emotions she had just built up vanished instantly.

She was kind and strong-willed by nature, and this kind of seductive trick was even more difficult for her than an S-rank ninjutsu. Seeing that Umino Sasuke was not buying it, she immediately put on a cold face, snorted, and turned her head away.

Just then, Kakuzu leaped from a small boat onto the deck of the "Zhenfeng". His bloody aura and eerie green eyes caused the Konoha ninjas around him to instinctively make way for him.

When Sasuke Umino saw Kakuzu arrive, he knew there was important business to discuss, so he ignored the outsider, Pakura, and with a wave of his hand, a soundproof barrier enveloped him and Kakuzu, isolating them from the outside noise.

Seeing this, Ye Cang knew they had confidential matters to discuss and were already trying to get rid of them. Although he did, he could only stomp his foot angrily and turn away.
