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

Chapter 98: The Ten Nearmatsu

"Sasuke, you were able to kill a jonin puppeteer all by yourself. When did you become so powerful?"

Ebihiko was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He knew his good brother very well, but it had only been a short time since they last saw each other, so how come he had become so powerful? Isn't this progress too fast?
I used to think that my brother's promotion to Special Jonin was just a step forward, and that as long as he worked harder and paid less attention to the little uncle, he would be able to catch up. But now it seems that this is not just a step forward at all. It is obvious that my brother has already ascended the throne of Jonin and is already standing at the finish line, waiting for him.

In fact, Jonin was only his end point, not his brother's.

Who knows, my brother can go one step further and make others just look up to him.

This time, Ebihiko's mood was not so confused. The gap was not big, so he still had the courage to catch up. If the gap was too big, he could only look up to him. He was even more proud of his brother for achieving such a great achievement.

"Sasuke, you have to protect me from now on."

Ebihiko immediately became excited when he thought that he would have a Jonin brother in the future.

The three members of Bingzuban, Dieyiban and Tekudō were also equally happy. With such a strong captain leading the team, the safety of future patrol missions would be greatly improved.

If it was said that Water Bat No. 6's gift to win over people's hearts was only half completed before, now that Umino Sasuke has unleashed such terrifying combat power, he has completely won over everyone's hearts.

In the past, the Umino class was at the same level as them. Although the Bingzu class, the Diei class, and the Ebi class didn't say anything, they might have had some complaints in their hearts. It was obviously unrealistic to want to subdue all the ninjas by relying solely on the small favors of Water Bat No. 6.

Now that Umino Sasuke has unleashed such a powerful fighting force, and he has fought bravely together, annihilating a team of senior ninja puppets, the Ashikaga Squad, the Dei Squad, and the Ebi Squad immediately began to believe in Umino Sasuke's leadership from the bottom of their hearts.

Sasuke Umino did not explain much to clear up the misunderstanding. The reason why he was able to kill this senior ninja puppeteer was entirely because he happened to be able to restrain the Sand Ninja Puppet Master, especially the black secret technique that was good at sneak attacks.

If it is a white secret technique or a red secret technique, only the water jelly ninjutsu can play a countering role. As for the black secret technique, his ultrasonic radar technique can clearly see it, and all sneak attack tactics are completely ineffective.

It was precisely because after many sneak attacks failed, this senior ninja puppeteer who was skilled in dark techniques saw his teammates die and was afraid of being surrounded, so he lost his will to fight and wanted to escape, and his mind was shaken. He happened to be caught in the flaw by Konoha Ryu·Ryu, otherwise he really would not be able to quickly take down this senior ninja puppeteer.

At most, he could fight on equal terms, and then use the powerful recovery ability of the Taotie technique to wear down this senior ninja puppeteer step by step.

"I have received accurate intelligence. This puppet team is just the vanguard. There will be more powerful elite Sand Ninjas coming to break through."

In order to avoid panic among his men, Umino Sasuke did not tell them all about his grudge with Ebizo. Ebizo would definitely not give up revenge. Instead, he used the intelligence from his superiors as an excuse to gather all the forces of the 10 patrol squads in the defense zone and rearranged multiple traps to deal with Ebizo's next revenge.

At the same time, he also prepared a backup plan for evacuation at any time. In the 300-mile Xinchuan forest, he was a natural guerrilla fighter using the technique of sonic radar.

At this time.

shhhhhh...

There were bursts of loud noises coming from the woods behind, and the noise was quite loud.

Everyone was on guard, Umino Sasuke raised his hand to calm them down, but the person who showed up was the Wind God and Thunder God.

It was obviously the explosion of the detonating trap that attracted them to come over for support.

This time, even the captain, Shan Guiyao, was dragged over by the Wind God and Thunder God. "Big Brother, we're here to help you fight the Sand Ninja."

The God of Wind and the God of Thunder were leaning on a big iron stick, rushing all the way, but they stopped in front of Umino Sasuke very obediently.

Behind them, Yamaguchiko and Kurama Kon were panting and finally caught up.

Finding that the battle was over, Shan Guiyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling relieved that he didn't have to join the battle.

Although Kurama Kon was full of confidence in Umino Sasuke's strength, she was also very worried. Only when she saw that the battle was over and Umino Sasuke was not injured did she put her worries aside.

The main combat teams have all arrived, and now we can arrange for everyone to make tactical adjustments and layouts, such as trap placement, tactical coordination, and retreat backup plan arrangements, etc.

Of course, tactical adjustments are not something that can be completed in a day or two. It takes a lot of time to run in and adjust. Fortunately, this period of time was calm and Ebizo's revenge did not come as expected.

Sasuke Umino became even more worried. He thought that a standard battalion of elite Sand Ninjas would arrive in the next two days, but after waiting for almost a week, there was still no sign of any Sand Ninjas.

I think Ebizo's revenge will definitely not end there. He is planning a bigger one.

If he hadn't known that Ebizo was the commander of the Kawano Defense Line and was very busy with affairs, he would have begun to worry whether Ebizo would come personally to take revenge.

"Improving strength is the only way to go. For the rest, we can only deal with it as it comes."

Sasuke Umino put aside his worries and devoted himself to hard training again, especially in the field of Sand Village puppetry.

Of the eight puppets he had just obtained, six were in extremely good condition and all were high-level puppets, especially the mechanical shield puppet, which had extremely strong defense, much stronger than his sticky armor.

"As expected of the Sand Ninja Puppet Technique, it's indeed powerful."

After completely absorbing the stolen memories of the Shadow Clone, Umino Sasuke's puppetry skills improved by leaps and bounds, and he was now no less than a regular special jonin puppeteer.

"This mechanical shield puppet and shadow clone are a perfect match."

The shadow clone is relatively fragile, while the Mechanical Shield Puppet has strong defense. When the shadow clone puts on the Mechanical Shield Puppet, it is equivalent to wearing a small mecha. Combined with the Red Secret Technique: Dual-Mechanic Operation, it can control another puppet. This shadow clone can fully exert the combat power of an exceptional ninja puppeteer.

In this way, his combat power would be doubled.

If he could capture a few more mechanical shield puppets, he could even use a large number of shadow clones, put mechas on the shadow clones, and then control the puppets to achieve a copycat and weakened version of the White Secret Technique: The Ten Kinmatsu.

"Forget about seizing a large number of mechanical shield puppets. Let's just develop and manufacture them ourselves."

Sasuke Umino also knew that the mechanical shield puppets were expensive and had strong defensive capabilities. It was impossible to seize them in large quantities, so it would be more reliable to develop them on his own.

He did so. The number of shadow clones in the underground laboratory increased from one to six, which shows his emphasis on the research and development of mecha puppets.
