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

Chapter 26: Establishing a Personality
Da da da……

A group of Konoha ninjas walked on the river surface and gathered here.

Seeing someone coming, Yue Guangye finally realized his childishness, so he quickly let go of Umino Sasuke, and for the sake of face, he restored his cold look, and immediately became a completely different person.

If it weren't for the shame revealed in the eyes of the cat-face mask, I would have thought it was just an illusion.

Sasuke Umino looked around the place and found that in addition to Akimichi Torifō's mobile patrol team, Sarutobi Kagejiro also came back to support.

Apparently, he encountered this mobile patrol team while escaping. Compared to the danger of delivering the intelligence back alone, Sarutobi Kagejiro obviously felt that it would be safer to follow his eldest master Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

When Umino Sasuke saw the five people coming, especially Sarutobi Shinnosuke, his heart ached and he was filled with envy.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke is really lucky. Even when he goes to the front line, he is protected by the elite Jonin Akimichi Torifong, and his temporary teammates are the ten thousand-year-old Genin Maru Seikosuke and the young clan leader of the Aburame clan Aburame Shiwei. Unlike them, they are penniless and are just cannon fodder.

With this terrifying lineup, they are invincible below the shadow level.

Not to mention the peak combat power of the strongest Geninmaru Seikosuke, just Akimichi Torifo, if he encounters an accident and uses a three-colored secret pill, he will surely be able to hold off a Kage-level strongman for a while.

"Good job, boy."

Akimichi Torifon held the hedgehog-headed ninja in one hand and patted Umino Sasuke on the shoulder with the other hand. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with Umino Sasuke, his nominal subordinate.

In addition to highly praising Sasuke Umino's will of fire, he was also very satisfied with the combat power displayed by Sasuke Umino.

As the captain of the mobile patrol squad, Akimichi Toribo is responsible for the defense of this area. Nominally, the nine sentry patrol squads in this area are all his subordinates.

Now, among the cannon fodder patrol squad, there is such a capable subordinate. As a superior, he should be proud. Moreover, how can he not be happy to have such a capable subordinate for free?
With the help of the parasitic bug Aburame Shiwei, Akimichi Toribo had already gotten a general idea of ​​the situation here while on his way to provide support.

Although the specific details are still unknown because it was recounted by Aburame Shiwei, the general direction is definitely correct, especially the amazing performances of Umino Sasuke.

In terms of mechanical manipulation alone, Umino Sasuke is already very close to the level of a jonin, and he also possesses the will of fire. The village should focus on training such high-quality talents. It is such a waste of talent to assign him to the outer sentry patrol team.

Now it has become a good thing for their mobile patrol team, as they have picked up a capable person for free. Such talents must be won over.

"Thank you, Lord Toribo, for your timely support. Otherwise, we would have been completely wiped out."

Umino Sasuke quickly expressed his friendly gratitude to his leader, and his words were full of praise.

This made Akimichi Toribo laugh out loud, and he felt that this subordinate was capable of handling things and was a good subordinate that he was willing to serve.

"Senior, you are also very powerful. You were able to hold out for so long against two Sand Ninja pursuit teams and even kill so many Sand Ninjas."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was very happy to be thanked and praised, but also a little shy. He admired the fighting power and will of fire shown by Umino Sasuke even more.

Obviously, Sarutobi Hiruzen protected his eldest son very well and educated him well, so that he did not grow up astray and did not have the arrogance and prejudice of a great ninja clan heir.

No matter how terrible the future of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen may be, his family education is indeed impeccable.

"Wherever the leaves dance, the fire grows."

Umino Sasuke made the [Kai Youth] gesture to Sarutobi Shinnosuke and encouraged him loudly, "You are the hope of Konoha. I believe that when you grow up, you will be even more powerful than us seniors!"

Umino Sasuke's words of encouragement highlighted his profound understanding of the Will of Fire. "Hmm!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice, clearly deeply influenced by the Will of Fire and very inspired.

"Hmph!" A cold snort sounded, and it came from Sarutobi Kagejiro who was standing beside him.

Sarutobi Kagejiro looked at him with disdain and sneered in a low voice: "You are just a cannon fodder Chunin with exhausted potential. Of course, we will be more powerful than you in the future."

"Huh? Kagejiro, didn't you ask us to cover our retreat and send the intelligence back first? Why are you back again?"

Umino Sasuke pretended to be confused, but it was a timely reminder to everyone present that someone had just fled the battlefield under the pretext of the mission being important, but now he was being inconsistent, not sending the information back, but running back, almost treating the mission information as a joke.

"Kagejiro, do you still have the information with you? Did you lose it?"

Umino Sasuke said as he walked over, looking like he wanted to check the information.

"Don't come over here!"

Sarutobi Kagejiro was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly and shouted, "Get out of here, you idiot! Do you want to blow me to death?"

Sarutobi Kagejiro hurriedly fled, pointing at the explosive tags all over Umino Sasuke's body, his eyes full of fear.

Obviously.

What Sarutobi Kagejiro was afraid of was not Umino Sasuke as a person, but the detonating tags on Umino Sasuke's body. He was afraid that if they went off accidentally, the explosion would affect him.

"Ah? I forgot to remove these detonating tags. I was just thinking about dying together with that Sand Ninja, and I forgot I still had them on me. I'll remove them right away, right away."

Umino Sasuke finally stopped, looking like he had just realized that he was covered in detonating tags.

Umino Sasuke kept apologizing to everyone sincerely, as if he had no intention of reminding everyone how brave he was just now, nor did he have any intention of implying that someone had deserted the battlefield.

Amidst the sincere apology, the Konoha ninjas couldn't help but recall the scene of Umino and Sasuke fighting to the death together. There was no doubt about his manifestation of the will of fire.

At the same time, it also made them realize that Sasuke Umino, who could hang explosive tags all over his body, was a ruthless person.

"Senior, let me help you solve it."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke volunteered and ran over without any fear.

"No, no, I can do it myself."

Sasuke Umino quickly stayed away from the prince of Konoha. If the Third Hokage knew that he asked the Hokage Daiho to help dismantle the detonating talisman, he would definitely be in trouble.

Although these detonating tags were not triggered and it was almost impossible for them to explode for no reason, putting the Crown Prince of Konoha in even the slightest danger would be a grave sin.

Sasuke Umino quickly removed all the detonating tags from his body and put them back into his tool bag.

"Humph! Why don't I blow you up?"

When Sarutobi Kagejiro saw that the dismantling was completed safely, he couldn't help but curse, but they were all ninjas with extremely sensitive hearing, so who didn't hear it?
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was immediately displeased, glaring at Sarutobi Kagejiro and scolding him: "Kagejiro, you've gone too far. Apologize now."
