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

Chapter 443 Awakening Boiling Escape
In his perfect Jinchuriki state, Roshi's combat power has surpassed that of an ordinary Kage-level shinobi.

Old Purple charged into battle like a madman, alternating between Lava Release and small Tailed Beast Balls, becoming invincible and temporarily turning the tide in a small area.

Several Konoha elites who rushed forward were instantly burned by the high-temperature steam or blown away by the Tailed Beast Ball. On the Konoha side, there were finally some obvious casualties.

"Ninjas are indeed full of surprises!" Sasuke Umino, underground, frowned deeply.

The power that Old Purple suddenly unleashed has exceeded expectations. If this continues, Konoha's casualties will rise sharply.

Sasuke Umino was preparing to personally take action, even at the cost of exposing himself, to suppress Roshi with swift and decisive force.

at this time.

"Danzo! Aburame clan! You guys keep Ōnoki occupied! I'll handle this tailed beast!"

Uchiha Shun shouted loudly.

He stopped chasing Onoki, and with a few flashes, he appeared in front of the berserk Old Purple.

Danzo and the brothers Aburame Ryoma, who had just freed up their hands, cooperated quite well, using various wind-style and poisonous insect techniques to envelop Onoki, who was trying to escape, and slow him down.

"You beast, look me in the eyes!"

Uchiha Shun looked up at the rampaging Roshi, his Mangekyou Sharingan spinning to its limit, frantically pouring the remaining power into the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Blood and tears streamed down his face, blurring his vision, but he didn't care.

A far more powerful eye force than before, like an invisible shackle, instantly enveloped Lao Zi.

"Roar--!!!"

The Goku inside Old Purple let out a terrified and furious roar. It could sense that this power was more direct and more targeted at the Tailed Beasts than the illusion technique from underground.

This is definitely the Mangekyou Sharingan, and its ability to control tailed beasts is on full display at this moment!

In his perfect Jinchūriki state, Roshi's spirit is highly bound to Son Goku, and they fight together.

However, Shun Uchiha's eye technique was too domineering, especially since he was willing to sacrifice his eye power.

Old Purple's frenzied movements suddenly froze, and confusion and struggle appeared in his scarlet beast eyes. The tailed beast chakra around his body also became disordered.

His massive body swayed, as if trapped in an invisible mental prison.

"It's now!"

How could the Wood Release clone No. 9 let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

He slammed his hands onto the ground, pouring his immense chakra into it without reservation.

"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!!"

“BOOM Boom Boom Boom!!!”

The earth emitted a terrifying groan as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. It was not just a small hill that rose up, but rather, with Lao Zi, who was trapped in the illusion, as the center, the rock and soil layers on both sides, which were more than a hundred meters apart, transformed into two giant hemispherical mountains. With the overwhelming force of crushing everything, they suddenly closed together.

The massive earthen mound cast a shadow over the struggling Lao Zi. To everyone's astonishment, two enormous hemispherical earthen mounds, each over a hundred meters in diameter, collided violently with an aura of annihilation.

"Boom——!!!"

A deafening, muffled thud seemed to strike everyone's heart, and a circular shockwave erupted from the point of impact, kicking up clouds of dust.

Under that terrifying pressure and excruciating pain, Old Purple let out a shrill scream, actually managing to break free from the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, it was too late.

Its massive body was trapped between two converging hemispherical mounds, unable to move, only able to roar in anger and pain, struggling frantically, but unable to shake such a force of nature.

Just then, a dark shadow darted onto the body of the four-tailed creature; it was Samehada.

Samehada: Chakra Absorption!

Samehada opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth and frantically devoured the Four-Tails' chakra!

"Ouch——!!!"

The Four-Tails sensed an unprecedented crisis.

It could clearly feel that even its own source of power was being rapidly devoured by this strange fish, and was being permanently lost.

At this critical moment of life and death, Son Goku deactivated his perfect form and hid inside Old Purple's belly. The enormous tailed beast chakra receded like a tide, rapidly shrinking and finally dissipating.

"Pfft!"

The four tails disappeared, and Old Purple fell from mid-air.

He had regained his human form, his entire body charred black and emitting white smoke. His breath was extremely weak, and he had already fallen into a coma.

Samehada wrapped around the falling Old Purple, preventing him from being smashed into a pulp. It then rubbed against Old Purple with lingering relish, seemingly still savoring the delicious taste from before.

In the distance, Onoki, who was locked in combat with Danzo and the Aburame brothers, felt a chill run through his body upon witnessing this scene.

He knew that the Iwagakure Legion was completely finished.

"Lord Tsuchikage! Run!!!" Several Jonin from Iwagakure cried out in despair and desperation.

They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with no hesitation, only boundless loyalty to the village and the Earth Shadow.

"For Iwagakure!"

Two of them suddenly formed hand seals, and their bodies swelled up like inflating balloons.

"Earth Release: Self-Destructing Rock Golem Technique!"

They transformed into human bombs, charging towards Danzo and Ryoma Aburame with unstoppable momentum.

"boom--!!!"

Two deafening explosions rang out, and the violent earth-style chakra and shockwaves instantly swept around, forcing Danzo and Ryuma Aburame to temporarily retreat.

Meanwhile, some Iwa ninja burned all their life force to unleash their final ninjutsu:

"Earth Escape: Ten Thousand Miles Earth Current Wall!"

A long, albeit not particularly tall, earthen wall rose from the ground, attempting to block the Konoha ninja's pursuit of Onoki.

Although this earthen wall cannot stop Konoha's top fighters, it can at least prevent the Tsuchikage from being caught in a massive battle against Konoha's overwhelming numbers.

Many Iwa ninjas died from exhaustion after using up their last bit of chakra, their bodies stiff in the hand seals as they collapsed beneath the earthen walls.

Looking at his men who had bravely faced death for him, Onoki felt as if his heart was being torn apart. Their faces were so young, some of whom he couldn't even name, but their eyes at that moment were like the most steadfast rocks, filled with love for the village. "Aaaaaah—!!!" Onoki let out a roar of endless grief and anger, forcing down the blood that welled up in his mouth.

He couldn't let his subordinates die in vain; he had to escape. So, without looking back, he pushed the Light and Heavy Rock Technique to its limit, transforming into a streak of light, and with his last bit of strength, he fled desperately towards the Land of Earth.

Danzo and his group were blocked by the desperate self-destruction and defense of the Iwa ninja, and could not stop Onoki at all. Uchiha Shun had already withdrawn from the battlefield due to excessive consumption of his eye power.

Onoki's Dust Release technique is incredibly powerful in both offense and defense. If he's focused on escaping, even if Umino Sasuke, who's hiding underground, were to personally intervene, he might not be able to stop him. After all, Onoki has the ability to fly, and with the blood trail paved with the lives of the remnants of Iwagakure, it wouldn't be easy to stop this veteran Kage-level powerhouse whose offensive and defensive capabilities are almost maxed out.

On the battlefield, as Onoki fled, the last remaining organized resistance of Iwagakure began to disappear.

The remaining Iwagakure ninja either surrendered on their knees or were wiped out by Konoha ninja.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, the devastated land and mountains of corpses were revealed, the earth stained dark red with blood.

After a brief silence, the surviving Konoha ninjas erupted in deafening cheers.

"Win! We won!!"

"Annihilate the main force of Iwagakure! Long live Konoha!"

"Long live Lord Sasuke!"

Amid cheers, countless eyes were drawn to the figure standing in the center of the battlefield, whose legs were cold prosthetics but whose posture remained upright.

"That's incredible! Even with his legs crippled, Lord Sasuke still possesses Kage-level fighting power!"

"Yes! Those water and earth techniques just now were absolutely earth-shattering!"

"Lord Sasuke has sacrificed so much for Konoha! Even so, he still shines brightly on the battlefield!"

"And Elder Danzo! His Wind Release technique is also very powerful, and he played a crucial role in restraining Onoki!"

"I used to think that Elder Danzo was only good at losing battles... cough cough, I didn't expect him to be so brave on the front lines!"

As Danzo listened to the heartfelt praise and discussions of the ninjas around him, especially their admiration for him, a complex and unfathomable emotion flashed in his one eye—a mixture of relief, excitement, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

He dedicated his life to Konoha, bearing countless infamy and darkness. Never before has he basked in the sunlight, receiving the heartfelt recognition and praise of Konoha ninjas as he does today.
This feeling of being needed and affirmed stirred a long-lost warmth in his heart, which had long been cold and hard.

He looked at "Umino Sasuke" surrounded by the crowd, and his belief in following him became even stronger.

In this battle, nearly all of Iwagakure's tens of thousands of troops were wiped out, with only Onoki and a very few Jonin who were quick to react managing to escape.

The elite forces that Iwagakure had accumulated over many years were almost entirely wiped out in this battle!
Its strength plummeted to rock bottom, becoming even weaker than Sunagakure.

And Konoha achieved its most glorious victory against Iwagakure since the village was founded!
The clamor on the battlefield gradually subsided, replaced by the cheers of the Konoha ninja who had survived the ordeal and the busy work of cleaning up the battlefield, their faces beaming with uncontainable joy.

"Quickly! Take stock of the casualties, seize all valuable spoils of war! Put the prisoners in centralized custody!"

As the nominal frontline commander, Danzo was exhausted, but his one eye gleamed with excitement as he issued various orders in an orderly manner.

This is an unprecedented and resounding victory!
They almost completely annihilated the main force of Iwagakure, and the spoils of war were piled up like mountains. There were countless regular supplies such as kunai, shuriken, and explosive tags, but what was even more precious were the mission merit exchange materials in the Iwagakure logistics department's inventory.

What truly ignited Danzo's passion were the two unconscious Jinchuriki, firmly bound by sealing talismans.

Danzo was filled with excitement. If he could master these two ultimate weapons, Konoha's strength would become even greater.

Compared to Danzo's particular interest in the two Jinchuriki, Sasuke Umino was more focused on the steam armor that had been peeled off from Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

After handing over the tedious post-war work to his clone, Umino Sasuke returned to the underground laboratory in the Land of Waves, carrying his steam armor and Samehada.

Samehada was clearly stuffed after absorbing too much tailed beast chakra, and was too lazy to move.

Under the cold lights of the laboratory, the steam armor was placed on the analysis table, emitting a faint smell of machine oil and residual warmth. However, Umino Sasuke did not study it immediately, but instead focused his attention on Samehada, which was obviously "fatter".

"Are you full? Let me help you digest."

Sasuke Umino's lips curled slightly as he reached out and stroked Samehada's burning hot skin.

Samehada made a comfortable "purring" sound and rubbed its big head against his palm.

Sasuke Umino sat cross-legged, his hands forming a special hand seal, and chakra cores flashed in his palms.

The chakra core is now a deeper color, and its surface seems to have countless tiny gravitational vortexes rotating, radiating a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.

"Let's get started, old buddy."

Sasuke Umino pressed the chakra core close to Samehada, placing one hand on Samehada and the other hand lightly on the chakra core.

"Om-!"

A powerful suction force was generated from the chakra core.

The tailed beast chakra stored in Samehada's body is incorporated into the chakra outer core.

This chakra is violent and scorching; if an ordinary ninja were to come into contact with it, they would be instantly corroded and burned.

The chakra core is like a furnace, with its internal gravitational field running wildly, forcibly restraining, compressing, and purifying the surging, violent chakra. All negative emotional impurities and conflicting attributes are crushed and stripped away, leaving only the purest tailed beast primordial energy.

These purified chakra primordial energies flowed continuously into Sasuke Umino's meridians along his outstretched hand.

"Ugh!" As the pure chakra energy entered his body, Sasuke Umino groaned.

Although this energy was purified, its essence remained vast and domineering, frantically eroding his meridians and even triggering the original chakra nature within him.

He felt as if his body had become a high-pressure boiler, with chakra surging and roaring within him, the temperature rising sharply, and a primal desire to steam everything growing in his heart.

He fully utilized the powerful life force of the immortal body to continuously repair the burned meridians and strive to adapt to this new power.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Umino Sasuke felt a dull ache in his meridians, about to reach his limit.

"Om-!"

His aura suddenly changed, a layer of red steam faintly appeared on his skin, the temperature in the laboratory suddenly rose, and the water molecules in the air were quickly evaporated.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of crimson in them.

"Boiling Release Bloodline?!"

He subconsciously raised his hand, and a burst of high-temperature, high-pressure steam mixed with scorching chakra erupted from his palm, striking the specially made alloy wall and leaving a clear scorch mark.

He actually accelerated the development of Boil Release Bloodline Limit while absorbing and fusing the Tailed Beast's chakra essence, thus crossing the final hurdle.

At this moment, Samehada had red markings appearing on its body, and its aura had become increasingly fierce, clearly indicating that it had gained a great deal.
