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

Chapter 118: Divide the forces to break through
Under the pressure of Umino Sasuke, the Umino troops finally escaped from the pursuit of the Sand Ninja and opened up a distance of several miles.

However, the Sand Ninjas on the left and right wings in the rear finally joined together.

And this time.

"Wow!"

A burst of chirping was heard.

In the distance, two huge desert falcons, accompanied by a group of small and medium-sized flying spirit beasts, also flew towards this side.

Obviously.

The main force of the Sand Ninja ambushed in the north sent out air support troops to pursue them first.

"The Sand Village can actually send out air forces!"

Umino Sasuke's eyes narrowed.

Ever since Hatake Sakumo destroyed the Sand Village's summoning beast logistics breeding base, the Sand Village's air force has suffered severe damage.

Most of the remaining air force units of the Sand Village have been deployed on the battlefield in Rain Country. As for the battlefield in River Country, the air force is naturally seriously insufficient. The air force is extremely important and should be used to resist the main force of Konoha led by Danzo Shimura. Now that they can separate such an air force to pursue, it seems that the Sand Ninja is very confident in the defense of their base.

Small flying spirit beasts are easier to train, but large flying spirit beasts are extremely rare.

Looking at the entire ninja world, only the Sand Village and the Konoha Village have established large-scale flying summoning beasts.

Konoha can have a large flying summoning beast because it is rich and powerful, while the Sand Village benefits from the special environment of the Wind Country.

With the current air force strength of the Sand Village, they can send out two adult desert giant falcons at a time, leading a group of small and medium-sized flying summoned beasts to pursue in front. It seems that they have invested a lot of money.

An adult desert giant falcon is a high-level summoned beast, and its combat power is no weaker than that of a senior ninja.

When Sasuke Umino saw these two giant desert falcons, he could only temporarily avoid their attack and catch up with the troops in front.

At this time, one of Sasuke Umino's shadow clones finally caught up with the Uchiha Army in front.

"Uchiha, are you trying to escape in the middle of a battle? Please send someone to support the rear troops!"

Umino Sasuke blocked the Uchiha army's way and asked them to lead the way. In order to let these Uchiha send people to support them, he even brought out the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Will of Fire.

"keep going!"

Uchiha Tetsuka waved his hand and commanded the troops to continue on their way. He still chose to cut off the tail to survive, wanting to abandon the Kaino troops and buy more time to escape.

Uchiha Inahimi on the side drew out his sword and slashed directly at Sasuke Umino's shadow clone.

The shadow clone was trying to dodge, but a figure blocked his way.

A clanging sound.

This figure easily blocked Uchiha Inahime's sword attack.

"Uchiha Shun, do you want to rebel?"

Uchiha Inahimi pointed his sword forward, his eyes full of coldness.

"Inahimi, we must support the rear troops, otherwise they will definitely be eaten by the Sand Ninja."

At this time, Uchiha Shun put the long sword back into the scabbard, and moved Uchiha Inahimi Akatsuki's righteousness with emotion. Obviously.

This Uchiha Shun is different from other Uchiha. Not only does he not have the slightest arrogance, but he is very approachable and even exudes a sense of fire will. He has great respect for the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hmph!" Uchiha Inahiro also put the sword back into the scabbard and said coldly, "Uchiha Shun, you want to die, I won't stop you."

Hearing Uchiha Inahiro's words, Uchiha Shun was overjoyed and immediately announced loudly: "Is there anyone willing to stay with me to provide support?"

Uchiha Shun's voice was so loud that everyone present could hear it clearly, but they all acted as if they didn't hear it and chose to remain silent.

In the end, except for Uchiha Shun's two teammates, no one else was willing to stay and provide support.

"Haha!" Umino Sasuke's shadow clone chuckled, but he didn't care at all. He came to ask for support, but he didn't really ask Uchiha for help, but to see if he could save some Konoha ninjas.

After all, among these two hundred Uchiha ninja soldiers, many were Konoha allied ninjas of the Uchiha clan, who were dragged into it for no reason.

For example, Yamashiro Midoriya and Shiranui Shinma, who chose to stay and provide support, were from Konoha's third-rate ninja clan. Like the Hatake clan, these two ninja clans were relatively close to the Uchiha clan and had a semi-alliance relationship with them.

The entire Konoha ninja clan has complex relationships and alliances with each other, but basically, it is divided into three and a half parts.

Among them, the Ninja Alliance of the Hokage line is headed by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, assisted by Ino-Shika-Cho, and includes a large number of small and medium-sized ninja clans such as the Elders' Group. It is the strongest and the loosest.

The second group is the Konoha ninja clan, headed by the Uchiha clan, with whom they have established a deep alliance from the Warring States period to the early days of the village.

The third group is headed by the Hyuga clan, which includes a large number of ninja forces that follow ancient traditions. There are even many ninja clans outside the village that have formed an alliance with the Hyuga clan, including ancient ninja forces similar to the Tsuchigumo clan.

The remaining half belongs to the Senju clan.

Although the Senju clan has declined today, its influence cannot be underestimated and it has a large number of fans.

With the decline of the Senju clan, this powerful force was gradually taken over by the Hokage forces, and in turn suppressed the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

However, the Naruto series is not a monolithic entity, just like the Uchiha clan, no matter how united they are, is not completely monolithic.

The Uchiha Shun in front of him is obviously the dovish representative of the Uchiha clan. As for his teammates Yamashiro Midoriya and Shiranui Shinma, they are probably ninjas close to the Hokage lineage and do not completely follow the lead of the Uchiha clan.

"What a pity." Umino Sasuke's shadow clone shook his head. He originally wanted to rescue more Konoha ninjas, but ended up getting a cold shoulder. His good intentions were in vain.

In his opinion, the Uchiha Legion would definitely not have a good ending. It was impossible for them to detour eastward, cross the forests and mountains, and escape back to the Shinano Plain. Not to mention breaking the blockade of the main Sand Ninja Legion, even Shimura Danzo might not let them go back.

With the help of the sonic radar, he discovered the presence of many parasites.

Among all the ninjas who came to attack deep behind enemy lines this time, there were no ninjas from the Aburame clan. So it goes without saying where these parasitic bugs came from.

Now it seems that Danzo Shimura's plan this time is not just to use the Uchiha Corps as bait to break the Sand Ninja's defense line, he may also want to seize the Uchiha's Sharingan.

Looking at the Uchiha Army's receding backs, Umino Sasuke's shadow clone did not stay where he was and wait for the troops in the rear, but took Uchiha Shun and the other two and headed south, setting up a sniper ambush in advance.

At this time, the Kaino troops finally stopped following the Uchiha Legion, but turned south and completely separated from the Uchiha Legion to break out.

Seeing that the Konoha Ninja Army had actually divided its forces, the Sand Ninjas who were chasing closely behind also implemented a policy of dividing their forces.

Moreover, these Sand Ninjas obviously valued the Uchiha Legion more and concentrated most of their forces to pursue the Uchiha Legion.

However, in order to prevent the Kaino force from escaping, the Sand Ninja left the air force to the southern pursuit force.
