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

Chapter 21 Moonlight Dancer

"call……"

Umino Sasuke's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he was so relieved that he almost died.

If he had not developed the sonic radar technique and gained extremely strong perception, with his reaction speed at the Chunin level, he would never have been able to effectively use the substitution technique when facing the fatal sneak attack of the special Jonin.

"Huh?" The black-faced special ninja's eyes flashed, and his heart was shocked. He thought that the blow was a sure hit, but he dodged it so easily.

It seems that this Konoha Jonin in front of him is not only extremely proficient in transformation techniques, but also in substitution techniques.

His foundation is so solid, he is worthy of being a Konoha Jonin.

"Come again, I'll see how many times you can dodge it."

After the Gale Palm sneak attack failed, the Black-Faced Special Jonin took out another kunai and rushed straight towards Umino Sasuke.

"Hmph!" Umino Sasuke sneered. The man in front of him had kept a distance and controlled the rhythm of the battlefield to a certain extent, but did not take the opportunity to release wind ninjutsu for long-range attacks. It seemed that he had not much chakra left because of the repeated release of multiple wind ninjutsu and the suppression of toxins in his body.

Without wind escape and puppets, the so-called special jonin is just a stronger elite chunin. What is there to be afraid of?
Taking advantage of the greatly reduced pressure, Umino Sasuke increased the sensing range of the sonic radar technique to detect the battle situation of other teammates.

Overall, they are quite evenly matched.

The Konoha side is a little weak, but they are in good condition and well-equipped. The Sand Ninja are strong, but they are all poisoned. They are only suppressing the Konoha side temporarily, and I think they will be able to reverse the situation soon.

The balance of victory has begun to tilt towards Konoha.

The only three people who were somewhat dangerous were Tekudō. They were fighting against a bald Chunin who was proficient in earth escape. Because the bald Chunin had used three B-level earth escape techniques, Doryūbi, in a row, his chakra was exhausted. If it weren't for the Hyōryūmaru in his body, he would have been defeated by Inuzuka Ryo's Yatoga.

It has to be said that the elite policy implemented by the Sand Shinobi has its own unique features.

This bald Chunin was able to hold on even after his chakra was exhausted and he was poisoned, despite being besieged by Tekudō and the other two. This shows how strong his fighting will was.

He had predicted that Tekudō and his two companions would have the upper hand, so it was not unexpected. However, Yue Guangye was able to fight back against the Hedgehog-Headed Ninja, which was truly impressive.

The Hedgehog Head Ninja only had five fingers on his left hand broken, so he couldn't make hand seals to perform ninjutsu. His swordsmanship was not greatly affected.

Just this swordsmanship alone is enough to show the combat power of a jonin.

If he hadn't been poisoned and consumed a lot of chakra and physical strength, he alone could have easily taken care of the six of them.

Fortunately, Yue Guangye is also not weak. He is proficient in the secret swordsmanship of Konoha style, like a dancer under the moon, flowing smoothly.

The hazy afterimages of the moon are pleasing to the eye, but they also conceal an extremely murderous intent.

As for Sarutobi Kagejiro, he should be able to win quickly by defeating a half-crippled Chunin.

"Great Moonlight Dancer, this wave is stable!"

Sasuke Umino's anxious heart finally relaxed, and he became more adept at dealing with the black-faced special ninja.

What's more, Maruboshi Kosuke's mobile patrol team is less than half a mile away. Support will arrive soon and victory is at hand.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened to Sarutobi Kagejiro again.

"Ye, the mission is more important. You guys stay behind, I'll take the intelligence and withdraw first."

Sarutobi Kagejiro forced back the half-crippled Chunin puppeteer, turned around immediately, and ran away without looking back.

The Chunin puppeteer even stood there in a daze, without even thinking of giving chase. It seemed that all he had in his heart at that moment was the joy of escaping death. He had thought that he was about to be killed by the monkey-faced Konoha ninja, but he suddenly escaped with his life. No wonder he didn't think of giving chase.

Umino Sasuke:? ? ?
Don't go, support will be here soon, just hold on a little longer.

For a while.

The balance of power between the two sides was broken and began to tilt in the opposite direction. At this time, the Sand Ninja side had a half-crippled Chunin puppeteer available, which could break the deadlock.

Although this half-crippled Chunin puppeteer has been deeply poisoned and has very little chakra left in his body, he is already in a shaky state.

But his tenacious fighting spirit cannot be ignored.

"Three little guys, you're dead!"

Under the siege of two Sand Village Chunins who were almost at their limit, Tekudō and his two companions were in danger. If Inuzuka Ryo and the ninja dog Akitamaru had not used their human-animal hybrid transformation, the two-headed wolf, they would have been defeated.

"Inuzuka Ryo, hold on."

Sasuke Umino waved his sword to force away the black-faced special ninja, and looked at the battle situation on Inuzuka Ryo's side with some concern.

"At a time like this, you still have the mind to care about others. Aren't you afraid that if you get distracted, you'll be torn to pieces by my Wind Style?"

The black-faced special jonin kept interfering with his words, hoping to make Umino Sasuke lose his concern and reveal his flaws.

Unmoved, Umino Sasuke immediately responded with a verbal interruption, sneering, "Mr. Kurozumi, how much chakra do you have left? Can you unleash a C-rank Wind Style? Let me have a taste of it."

"Hmph!" The black-faced special ninja snorted coldly and stopped using words to interfere. It was obvious that his vital point had been hit. There was indeed not much chakra left in his body. Now it depended on who could hold on to the end.

"Don, retreat to the other side of the river!"

Sasuke Umino forced back the black-faced special ninja and joined the battle between Tekudō and the other two to help share the pressure. He then prepared to take them and retreat to the other side of the river using the river as a barrier.

Although if we continue like this, we can basically hold out until Maruboshi Kosuke and others come to support us, there is no need to continue taking risks. It is better to play it safe. Retreating first and then pursuing is also a good option. I think these Sand Ninjas will not be able to escape by then.

"I was right. You really care about the safety of these three subordinates."

The dark-faced jonin sneered repeatedly, as if he had finally caught Umino Sasuke's fatal flaw.

So, the black-faced special jonin specifically targeted the three little guys, forcing Umino Sasuke to fight back head-on. Fortunately, the other two Sand Village chunins were almost at their limit due to poisoning, and Tekudō and the other two were able to handle it, otherwise it would be a bit dangerous.

Just as Umino Sasuke once again forced back the black-faced special ninja and was about to retreat with Tekudo and the other two and cross the river.

"Hahaha! Die!"

The black-faced special ninja suddenly attacked and launched a tactical sneak attack that had been planned for a long time.

"Puppetry Technique: Like a Thousand Raindrops!"

Suddenly.

A large amount of dense Senbon rain covered Umino Sasuke, Tekudo and the other two.

"I didn't expect that you would fall into a trap sometimes."

The black-faced jonin was smug, with the arrogance of a successful plot, and he laughed heartily. Who said that without a puppet, he couldn't use the puppet mechanism technique? Without a puppet, couldn't he use someone else's?

He had already released the chakra lines and drilled into the ground, taking over Sakiro's black ant puppet.

When Sagerou was attacked by Steel Wire, only his legs were cut off, but his Black Ant Puppet was well preserved.

Although this black ant puppet is far less useful than his puppet, it is a standard puppet of the Sand Village Chunin after all, so it is still easy to use.

Such a large area is like raindrops falling from thousands of trees. Let's see how you can avoid it.

Even if you have extraordinary means and can escape yourself, can you bring your three subordinates to escape with you?
