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

Chapter 54 Secret Operation
"Forget it, just give me 500 kilograms of maltose."

"500 jin? That's so much!"

Kong Enzang was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to say much and hurried to prepare supplies.

Umino Sasuke also bought 10 detonating tags and some blades. After completing the transaction, he hurried away with the sealing scroll.

This time, Kong Enzang was very sensible. He bought back the four puppets at the highest premium, and the blades and supplies he sold were also at a relatively favorable price.

With the help of basic instant body movement technique, Umino Sasuke quickly caught up with the shadow clone leading the team.

He did not rush to remove the shadow clone, but walked ahead quietly, releasing the infrasonic radar technique to scout the situation along the way and beware of emergencies and traps.

It’s true, when luck comes, it can’t be stopped.

Through the large-scale scanning of the infrasonic radar technique, he actually discovered a group of Sand Ninjas who had infiltrated.

Moreover, this group of Sand Ninjas were obviously not in good condition. Two of them were injured and their wounds were infected. What was even worse was that even with infected wounds, they still hid in the mud to avoid detection by the Konoha Ninjas.

It seems that this group of Sand Ninjas want to hide first, wait for night to fall, and then withdraw from the defense line and escape back to the Wind Kingdom.

Sasuke Umino immediately ate a large amount of food and released 8 shadow clones in succession.

When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.

Although there were only four Sand Village Chunins, with the silent killing technique of the Mist Village technique, he would not be afraid even if there were twice as many Sand Village Ninjas, but it was still better to be cautious.

Soon, he surrounded these Sand Ninjas with a bunch of shadow clones. These Sand Ninjas were hiding in the mud, and their perception was greatly reduced. They were surrounded and did not notice the danger coming.

Being in the mud has its pros and cons.

The advantage is that it is not easy to be detected.

The downside is that once discovered, you will immediately be trapped in a jar, which is extremely dangerous.

The siege went smoothly without any danger. The eight shadow clones and the original body attacked together, and a large wave of kunai and shurikens directly took away the three Sand Village Chunins.

The reason why the surviving Sand Village Chunin was not stabbed to death directly was not because he was so strong, but because the other three colleagues acted as meat shields.

Another large wave of kunai and shurikens took away the last Sand Village Chunin on the spot, without even using the silent killing technique, and easily resolved the battle.

After this battle, he once again realized the importance of intelligence perception in conventional ninja warfare. At the same time, he had to sigh that the number of ninjas who died from kunai and shuriken far exceeded those from those fancy ninjutsu.

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield and carrying the easily obtained B-level mission merit, they continued on their way. Less than an hour later, the Umino patrol squad finally returned to the ninja army base.

The so-called ninja army base is actually a large city in the western part of River Country, called Shinano Castle, with a population of over 10,000.

A city with a population of over 10,000 can only be considered a small or medium-sized city in the Land of Fire, but in the Land of Rivers, it is already a very large city. The population of the Daimyo Prefecture in the Land of Rivers is less than 50,000.

However, most of the population in Shinano Castle had already moved to the rear, and those who remained were gamblers and adventurers who were trying to make a living or to make a fortune from the war.

"Yeah, I'm finally back. I can take a hot bath again. I hate being sticky all over."

Xiao Xiao was extremely happy before she even entered the city.

Tekudō was also happy. He could finally spend some of the money sent by his family. Life on the front line was too difficult, and he had no place to spend the money.

"Barking barking barking..."

The ninja dog Shutamaru also wagged his tail, clearly very happy. "Hey, Sasuke, you're back."

Before entering the city, the city gate guard Shen Yue Falcon, who always had a sharp eye, immediately waved and greeted him.

Gang Qianshi, who was also a city gate guard, also exchanged greetings.

Obviously, after six months of deliberate friendship, Umino Sasuke has become familiar with the gatekeepers of these two cities.

You don't have to make friends deliberately, just chat with these two people more, let them fully vent their desire to express themselves, and you can easily bring you closer.

Although the city gate guards look inconspicuous, they are the most well-informed.

Just after talking for a while, they learned that the front-line commander Mito Kado En was about to return to the village and would be replaced by Elder Shimura Danzo.

As for the case of a ninja on the front line who got cuckolded and had to go to the military base for entertainment every few days, there are even more cases like this.

"Let's talk later." After Umino Sasuke had obtained enough information, he took Tekudo and the other two and went straight to the logistics department.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the logistics department. As soon as they entered the logistics department and before they could report their mission, the busy logistics chief Nara Shikasa came to them.

Obviously, Nara Shikasa had already instructed his men to keep an eye on the movements of Umino Sasuke and the other three, which is why he came here as soon as possible.

"Sasuke, I was right about you. It seems I made the right decision to assign you to the sentry patrol team of Akimichi Toriibo."

Nara Shikasa's words were full of encouragement and optimism, completely devoid of his previous condescending attitude. His words were full of political appeal, and he subtly pointed out how much the father had cared for him in the past and asked him to remember this kindness.

"It's all thanks to Lord Shikasa's good leadership."

A man has to bow his head under the eaves. Umino Sasuke immediately complimented him, using the same attitude as when he bribed Kaze no Kuni Kodachi, and complimented him hard, almost kneeling down to lick his ass.

However, it was indeed Nara Shikasa who arranged for him to join the police patrol team. Although Nara Shikasa had only made a casual move out of political considerations of the Sarutobi clan, it allowed him to avoid those arduous missions, so he had to accept this favor.

"Sasuke, you just completed an S-rank mission a few days ago, and now you've completed an A-rank mission. It seems like you'll be able to become a Konoha Jonin soon."

Nara Shikasa patted Umino Sasuke's shoulder and kept encouraging him, his words full of attempts to win him over.

After another round of compliments, Umino Sasuke finally reported for the mission and handed over the seized Sand Ninja forehead protectors and even the bodies.

"What? On your way back to renew your post, you encountered a group of Sand Ninjas trying to evacuate their defenses, and you wiped them out?"

Nara Shikasa quickly checked the credentials and confirmed that it was exactly as he said.

After thinking for a while, Nara Shikasa said seriously, "Sasuke, it's a good thing that you wiped out this group of Sand Ninjas, otherwise our military logistics would be in danger."

"Huh?" Umino Sasuke stared at Nara Shikasa with his big, puzzled eyes.

Then, Nara Shikasa said with certainty, without a doubt, "This group of Sand Ninjas hid in the mud and evaded detection. They must be trying to infiltrate the rear of our defenses and attack our food supply routes.

If you hadn't discovered it early, our army's grain transport team would have been in danger.

This is a great achievement for you, it can definitely be considered an A-level mission."

Umino Sasuke:? ? ?
Is this even possible? As expected of a highly intelligent ninja from the Nara clan, his ability to lie with his eyes open is truly extraordinary.

I feel a little uncomfortable. I haven't even become a Jonin yet, but I have to start enjoying the treatment of the Konoha Ninja Clan and Jonin.
