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

Chapter 16: Master of Tactics
"Five hand seals in one second! Such a fast hand seal formation speed, he must be an elite jonin who is proficient in ninjutsu!"

"There's no doubt about it, he's definitely an elite jonin."

Sarutobi Kagejiro and the Gekko Chunin immediately gained confidence when they saw Umino Sasuke's terrifying hand seal-forming speed.

The speed of five seals per second is something I have only heard of before but never seen. Today I finally have the chance to see it.

It is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Others can make one seal every five seconds, but the [Uchiha Jonin] in front of him can make five seals in one second, and his hands have become afterimages. He is worthy of being an elite Jonin, even his hand seals are so superb.

He must be proficient in ninjutsu as he can form hand seals so quickly.

The elite jonin who are proficient in ninjutsu are all masters of group combat. Any one of their ninjutsu can easily eliminate a large number of enemies. It seems that this intelligence mission is a sure thing.

The boy from the Hyuga branch family rolled his eyes and saw the battlefield clearly. He couldn't help but roll his eyes again and again, but the anxiety in his eyes remained unchanged.

This fake [Uchiha] is so deceptive, with a speed of five seals per second, even elite jonin and above may not be able to have such a terrifying speed of hand seals. No wonder these Sand Ninjas have no suspicion at all.

The speed of forming seals is so convincing.

"How despicable! He has no mastery at all!"

The bald Chunin released a useless ninjutsu, wasting a lot of chakra, and suddenly became furious.

"Iran Wolf, don't be impulsive. This is a tactical level that only elite jonin and above can achieve. They can almost not miss even the slightest tactical advantage. Don't let him catch our weakness!"

The Hedgehog-headed Sand Village jonin had extremely rich combat experience and reacted immediately. He suddenly realized what was happening and looked like he had seen through the enemy's tactics. He actually used tactical deception to buy himself more time to form hand seals and release a more powerful and complex water escape technique.

What a tactical master!
It seems that the previous series of sneak attacks are not enough to summarize this person's amazing tactical level.

Moreover, in the face of such an absolute advantage, he can still be so cautious and not miss even the slightest advantage. I think he must be a senior elite ninja who has been through hundreds of battles and has rich experience.

Sasuke Umino was delighted to see that the hedgehog Sand Village senior ninja had indeed been fooled. It was a master like you who was fooled. If it were an ordinary ninja, he might not be able to have such a high level of tactical thinking.

Seeing that the battle situation was basically stable, Gekkou Chunin jumped to Sarutobi Kagejiro's side to ensure the safety of the information scroll. Then he turned to the Hyuga Chunin in the distance and asked about his injuries: "Asuka, are you okay?"

"Ye, I'm fine, I won't die yet!"

Hinata Asuka was leaning against a birch tree, her face was pale, she was almost unconscious from the poison, her eyes flickered, but she spoke with a very tough tone.

Moonlight Night nodded, then stood in front of Sarutobi Kagejiro, not directly joining the battle. Instead, he looked down at the entire battlefield and turned back to ask in a low voice, "Kagejiro, judging by the number of hand seals, what level of water jutsu is this? Could it be an A-level water jutsu: Great Waterfall Technique?"

The Gekko clan is good at Konoha-style swordsmanship, which is suitable for close combat, while Kagejiro's Sarutobi clan is good at various escape techniques. They have always been experienced in ninjutsu and have more say.

"No, it's definitely not the Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique."

Sarutobi Kagejiro shook his head and immediately denied this speculation.

"What exactly is that advanced water escape technique? Kagejiro, you don't know either, do you?"

"What? How is it possible? How could I not know?"

Sarutobi Kagejiro jumped up immediately as if his tail had been stepped on.

Among his peers in the Sarutobi clan, Kagejiro was a relative slacker, a mere idiot. How could he possibly know what level of Water Style was? However, he had always been a strong-willed person and didn't want to show his ignorance and let his teammates look down on him. Sarutobi Kagejiro's mind raced, pondering that a seal this long couldn't be an A-level Water Style, so it must be an S-level Water Style.

There are only a few S-level water jutsu in the Book of Seales. So, it seems that this ninjutsu is either S-level water jutsu·Water Break Wave or S-level water jutsu·Hard Vortex Water Blade?
This evil Uchiha planned to use the river behind him to perform water escape technique, which was definitely not Water Release: Water Break Wave.

Then the answer is revealed.

When Sarutobi Kagejiro thought of this, he suddenly realized it, and immediately showed an expression that said I understand very well and come and praise me.

So he said confidently, "Ye, actually, I've already seen it. This is definitely the legendary S-class Water Style: Hard Vortex Water Blade."

Hinata Asuka: #￥%@&
Hinata Asuka's eyes rolled back and forth as usual. What A-level Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique, what legendary S-level Water Style: Hard Vortex Water Blade, they were all fake, fake!
The speed of forming hand seals is very good, but it's useless. Through the meridian perspective of the Byakugan, it is clear that the chakra in the body of this fake [Uchiha] has not been activated at all. How can he release ninjutsu?
This guy Yingjiro is talking nonsense. It seems that in addition to being strong-willed, bad-tempered, jealous, and having little ability, Yingjiro is also a big talker.

Huh? Why does it feel like Kagejiro is unreliable?

Thinking about how Kagejiro had just angered the Sand Ninja for no reason and how he had exposed such a big flaw when passing through the explosive talisman trap, Hinata Asuka became more certain of her idea.

Thinking of this, Hinata Asuka almost fainted from anger. His teammates were unreliable and could hardly be relied upon. He hoped that this fake [Uchiha] could hold on a little longer.

I have to say that the tactics of this fake [Uchiha] are quite good, and his hand seal-forming speed is unprecedented.

But this deception tactic will not be able to delay for too long, let alone enough to delay until this group of Sand Ninjas are poisoned and lose their combat effectiveness.

At most, it can only consume the chakra and some bladed tools of this group of Sand Ninjas, but ultimately it cannot change the gap in strength between the two sides.

Hinata Asuka's Byakugan was already a little sleepy at this time, flickering. Due to the erosion of the toxin, the range of the Byakugan's vision was compressed to less than one kilometer.

Otherwise, they would definitely discover the imminent arrival of the mobile patrol team and understand the tactical deception of this fake [Uchiha]. Its real intention is not just to delay the poisoning of this group of Sand Ninjas and consume their chakra and some bladed supplies.

It's a three-pronged approach, with the bottom line being to delay the arrival of reinforcements.

"Ye, look, those three guys have been poisoned. They definitely won't be able to hold out for long. Hahahaha, we're definitely going to win."

Sarutobi Kagejiro scanned the battlefield and made a new discovery. He suddenly became full of confidence and burst into laughter.

Showing a look of arrogance and arrogance.

"Kagejiro, have you noticed that their special detoxification pills are actually ineffective? They are just relying on chakra to hold on."

Moonlight Night was very observant and insightful, and he quickly discovered the abnormalities and flaws of these poisoned Sand Ninjas.

"Hahaha!" Sarutobi Kagejiro's arrogance grew even stronger. Then, with a turn of his eyes, he suddenly suggested, "Ye, how about you take the intelligence and retreat first? I'll cover your retreat this time?"

"this--"

Yue Guang Ye was suddenly speechless and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Victory is already in sight. If I leave now, won't I miss out on mission merit points? However, the intelligence mission is paramount, and I can't take even the slightest risk. I really should send the intelligence back first.

"Kagejiro, you should retreat first and bring back the information. I will support this Uchiha Jonin."

Yue Guangye swung his sword and made the best tactical choice. In his opinion, his strength was obviously much higher than Yingjiro's, and he would be of greater help if he stayed. It would definitely be more appropriate to let Yingjiro send the information back first.

What's more, Sarutobi Kagejiro is a relative of the Third Hokage. Leaving him here is risky. If something really happens, how will he explain to his superiors?
