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

Chapter 45 The Art of Shadow Clone

For example, if an ordinary ninja wants to exchange for a B-level ninjutsu, he must complete at least one A-level mission. This is during wartime. If it is peacetime, he will have to complete at least three or four A-level missions.

But the problem is, for ordinary ninjas with no strength and no background, the purpose of exchanging for this B-level ninjutsu is to improve their strength. If they have no strength, how can they complete the A-level task? Doesn't this form a logical dead loop?

This is not a question of which came first, the chicken or the egg.

But for ordinary ninjas, the fundamental question is whether they have completed the original accumulation, and whether they have the ability to break the innate shackles brought about by their birth.

Therefore, in order to break this situation, many ordinary ninjas can only fight hard, take risks, and try to complete various tasks that are above their own strength level.

As long as this ninja survives to cross this hurdle, he will be able to leap into the vast sea and fly freely, and he can basically be promoted to the next level very quickly.

In this way, the purpose of the Konoha Village leaders in formulating this policy was achieved. The only loss would be the suffering of the ordinary ninjas in the middle and lower levels.

Moreover, in the minds of these top-level Konoha executives, they are still just. All this is for Konoha. Haven't you seen the rising mission rate? This is clear proof.

In the past, everyone was afraid to take on high-level tasks, but now they are taking the initiative to complete them. They are more obedient and proactive than cattle and horses. This shows that this policy is an excellent way to manage the village.

Even if there are any problems, they are insignificant little things and can be understood. After all, everything is for Konoha, right?

Wherever the leaves dance, the fire will never go out.

"Sasuke, you're not planning to use this S-rank mission completion record to exchange for a B-rank ninjutsu, are you?"

Seeing Umino Sasuke so happy about the extremely high level of the mission, Akimichi Toribo acted like a leader, saying, "I've been there, I know everything." He patiently said, "S-level mission completion records are rare. You'll definitely need them in the future, but don't rush to exchange them for B-level ninjutsu."

"Master Toribo, I only know a few low-level water jutsu at the moment, and I'm in urgent need of ninjutsu."

Sasuke Umino pretended to be hesitant to make a decision, but he had already made up his mind. It was impossible to exchange for low- and medium-level ninjutsu. It was so difficult to complete an S-level mission. At the very least, he had to see if there was a chance to exchange for an A-level ninjutsu.

"Sasuke, I took advantage of you this time, so I'll teach you a ninjutsu as compensation. As long as it's not an A-level ninjutsu or a family secret technique, I can teach you anything I know."

Akimichi Tobo was very fond of talented people, so he was very generous.

In his opinion, since he had completed many high-level tasks and had no need to exchange for high-level ninjutsu, teaching a few ninjutsu to his subordinates could be considered as an investment to win them over.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir." Umino Sasuke was overjoyed, but he didn't get carried away. Instead, he said very considerately, "Master Toribo, I am already very grateful that you can use your high-level mission completion records to teach me ninjutsu. How can I ask you to spend money? Tomorrow, when the patrol mission cycle ends and I return to the base to resume my duties, I will go to the logistics department to make up the mission merit points for exchanging for ninjutsu."

The Konohagakure has a rule that prohibits secretly learning and passing on ninjutsu.

Unless it is a unique ninjutsu or a family secret technique, even if a teacher teaches a disciple ninjutsu, it will consume task completion records and merit points.

"Hahaha! Sasuke, you're so polite."

"Of course I should. How can I let you teach me ninjutsu and spend money on it?"

"Well, since you insist, I won't be polite."

Akimichi Torifō felt like he'd gotten a great deal. Mission completion records were valuable to others, but to him, they were completely useless. He didn't need to exchange them for advanced ninjutsu, nor did he pursue ninja titles and power. Mission merit points were more valuable. At least, mission merit points could be exchanged for various blades and daily necessities at the logistics department.

"Sasuke, which ninjutsu do you want to learn?"

"Master Toribo, I wish to learn the Shadow Clone Technique."

"Shadow Clone Jutsu?"

Akimichi Torifon patted Umino Sasuke's shoulder, carefully sensed it, and then said earnestly, "Sasuke, although this Shadow Clone Technique is good and very practical, considering your chakra level, I still suggest you think about it again."

"Master Toribo, I am aware of my own chakra deficiency, but when I return to the base to renew my position, I intend to exchange it for knowledge related to developing a secondary attribute of chakra. If I succeed, my chakra capacity will surely increase significantly."

Sasuke Umino laid out his plan in full to see what suggestions Akimichi Torifo had. After all, Akimichi Torifo came from a powerful Konoha family and was a senior jonin of Konoha, so he must have extraordinary knowledge.

"Develop the second attribute chakra?"

Akimichi Torifo was startled, then looked at Umino Sasuke with some sympathy and said in a deep voice, "Sasuke, you may be disappointed."

"Oh?" Umino Sasuke looked confused.

After Akimichi Torifo's explanation, he finally understood the problem. It was not possible to increase chakra by developing the second attribute chakra.

Instead, one must possess enough chakra and potential to develop the second attribute chakra.

The amount of chakra is the cause, and the second attribute chakra is the result, not the other way around.

Developing the second attribute chakra, although it is called development, in fact, to put it more accurately, it should be said to tap the potential of the second attribute chakra contained in the body.

The former's development is creating something out of nothing, while the latter's tapping of potential is discovery, which are essentially different.

"Sasuke, don't be discouraged. Theoretically, every ninja has the potential to develop all-attribute chakra, it's just a matter of how much."

Then, Akimichi Torifon comforted him, "Although your chakra aptitude is average, if you can take a lot of Nara secret medicine to nourish yourself and make up for the potential you lost in the past few years, there is still a great chance that your chakra capacity will reach the level of a jonin."

"Sir, a normal dose of Nara secret medicine costs tens of thousands of taels, and I'm taking it in large quantities. Do you think I look like a rich man?"

Umino Sasuke had a look of disappointment on his face, but his mind was full of thoughts. In fact, he had not lost confidence. The so-called secret medicine of Nara only served to replenish the deficiency.

Medicine is three-quarters poisonous. No tonic prescription can be more effective than dietary therapy.

Now that he has mastered the Qiu Dao clan's digestion technique, isn't this digestion technique the best diet therapy?
As long as you eat enough food, which is converted into a continuous source of energy and subtly nourishes cells throughout your body, it won’t be long before all the previous deficiencies in your body are replenished.

It is even possible that a second growth spurt may occur.
