Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 14 Unplanned Discovery

The practical class was a mess and I couldn't continue, so I had to leave school early.

A small group of seven people, headed by Aburame Tetsumaru, rented a training ground in the village for additional training. They sat down to rest, drink water and chat until it was almost dark.

"I'm going to graduate early."

Uchiha Fenghuo held a grass stem in his mouth and said calmly.

...

"Why don't you say anything?" Fenghuo, who had failed to pretend to be calm, angrily asked the six friends lying next to him.

Hinata Tokuma rolled his eyes. He had already opened his eyes and said disdainfully: "I'll be with you."

"We will be together next year." Gouzi and Zhuludie answered together.

"..."

"I plan to study for two more years and graduate on time." Aburame Tetsumaru answered casually.

"Eh? If you, Tetsumaru, don't apply as the top candidate, Tokuma and I will be embarrassed to graduate early."

Uchiha Fenghuo started shouting in a fuss, which aroused Hyuga Tokuma's dissatisfaction, but he did not fight back.

The friends all felt a little strange that Tetsumaru didn't plan to graduate early. It has always been the tradition that those who graduate early are the undisputed number one in the same year.

They would indeed feel a little embarrassed if Tetsumaru, the well-deserved top student, refused to graduate.

Aburame Tetsumaru turned over, sat cross-legged, put her hands on her chin, and explained seriously to her friends.

"Our family's situation is different from yours."

"Senju Nawaki-senpai graduated this year and has been accepted as a disciple by Lord Orochimaru. The Uchiha family and the Hyuga family, both of which are the three most powerful families, must show their respect and maintain their own momentum.

If you can’t shut down quality, then show off quantity, so Tokuma and Fenghuo you two must graduate two years in advance.”

Uchiha Fenghuo and Hinata Tokuma's eyes widened. The two little brats had no idea that being asked to graduate early would actually lead to a relationship with a senior who was two years older.

Aburame Tetsumaru said to Inuzuka Takeshi, Yamanaka Rain, Narakamoto, and Akimichi Hall: "Your graduation next year may have something to do with the war."

"It has been several years since the war ended. The number of ninjas in Konoha has long exceeded that when the Nidaime was still there, and it is still growing rapidly. We will be able to increase the number of genin by 500 after graduating this year."

"I guess the other four major ninja villages have also seen large-scale genin concentrating on military service."

"There are too many ninjas. This is not the number required for the mission. It can only be used to prepare for war."

"In addition, the price rise in the past two years has been annoying. Do you still remember the crazy price increase before the last war? The rise in prices should be caused by the Ninja Village carrying out war reserves and hoarding war and daily necessities."

"The shadow of the second war is getting closer and closer. The more materials prepared for war are stored, the more consumption of storage and maintenance will increase. By the end of next year, the consumption of war preparations will exceed the cost of purchasing materials."

"So, I conclude that war will break out in the second half of next year."

Half of the friends listened thoughtfully, and half listened as if they were reading from heaven. Only Naramo was dumbfounded. He completely understood and was completely shocked at the same time.

The Nara family has always had members who serve as the Hokage's think tank and hold staff positions in many departments. If they combine their information within the family, they can get the secrets of all Konoha.

Nagamo knew the news that the war was coming, and relied on the military intelligence collection of the five major ninja villages, but he never thought of inferring the course of the war from commodity prices.

But Aburame Tetsumaru's inference is more convincing. As a military organization with a mercenary structure, the Ninja Village plays a decisive role in money and is more authoritative than the Hokage to a certain extent.

If preparing for war results in making ends meet, and starting a war can alleviate economic problems, then the Ninja Village of the Great Power must demand war from top to bottom, and it is impossible for a few individuals to stop the general trend.

Naraka calmed down, nodded and said, "That makes sense. We graduate next spring and can adapt to actual combat before the war breaks out and become a team that has a tacit understanding."

"My younger brothers, except Zhiwei, will apply for early graduation next year. How about you guys?"

Several people nodded together, and Hyuga Tokuma said: "Yes, next year all the Hyuga family's third-grade families and above will graduate early."

After a while of silence, Narama simply asked for everyone: "Tetsumaru, why do you have to wait another two years?"

"Because I didn't find the way."

"The path? Is it the path of ninja?" asked Inuzuka Takeshi, a straight-minded person.

Aburame Tetsumaru shook her head and said, "No, it's the way to become stronger."

"You all know that most of my current strength lies in physical skills. My talent does not match my family's secret skills. I have no future in the secret skills of insect control."

"As a ninja from the Aburame family, it is simply a joke to rely on taijutsu and messy ninjutsu that I have figured out to fight."

"No ninja today can reach the top with physical skills. Even the soft fist requires the blessing of Byakugan to be strong enough."

Hinata Tokuma nodded. After he awakened the Byakugan, the power of his soft fist increased dramatically. The gap between him and Aburame Tetsumaru was greatly shortened. He had a deep understanding of the effect of the Byakugan.

Of course, Aburame Tetsumaru knew that Konoha really had some physical skills that could reach a higher peak, but the path of Eight Gate Dunka, which had been accumulated for decades and had a moment of brilliance, was not suitable for him.

"I need time to find a path that suits me."

"..."

The topics of life and war were too heavy, so everyone stopped talking and just blew the wind quietly.

…

After a long silence, Aburame Tetsumaru broke the silence: "By the way, I recently discovered a particularly interesting insect, let me show it to you."

Aburame Tetsumaru stood up, patted the grass clippings on her body, moved her body, then took out a beetle from her arms and held it on her right thumb.

Then he snapped his fingers and threw out a wind blade, which hit the trunk of a big tree ten meters away and sent sawdust flying everywhere.

Wind Escape·Wind Arrow

It’s just a D-level ninjutsu, bah, Muyin casts it!!

All six people jumped up, Muyin Ninjutsu.

"how did you do that?"

Naraka stared closely at the beetle on Aburame Tetsumaru's finger. The beetle with its outer shell open and emitting white smoke was already dead. The Muji Ninjutsu just now must have something to do with this beetle.

Aburame Tetsumaru explained sternly: "Last year, I heard my elders tell the legendary story of the Nidaime, and I learned that the Nidaime needed to form three seals to use water release and water dragon bullet. A normal water dragon bullet requires forty-four seals, so I

I have a question: Are hand seals necessary to perform ninjutsu?"

"No, it's not." Naramo replied directly. He had just seen the evidence, so of course it was not necessary.

"Yes, it's not necessary."

"Yes, many jounin have fewer ninjutsu than others."

Friends have all proved this point of view. Subversive discoveries often have countless clues, but they are not connected together. After a certain result appears, various evidences will be easily associated.

stand up.

"Iron Pill is amazing."

Aburame Tetsumaru chuckled, and used the Muhin technique, making eye seals, hand seals, and foot seals. The powerful ninjas in the future will all have unique skills to bypass the hand seals.

No serious top ninja has the Honesty Seal.

Except for the honest man Kisame.

In the real ninja world, there must be ninjas who have summed up various techniques to reduce seals, but on the one hand, the discoverers will intentionally hide them, and on the other hand, people's perspective is not God's perspective, and it is impossible to lock in advance the protagonist or supporting role.

People receive too much information, but there are many repetitions and errors. The effective information is incomplete and difficult to extract.

The plot is real and effective information, one of the golden fingers for time travellers.

"This year I have been studying the true relationship between hand seals and ninjutsu, and finally..."

"You figured it out!?" X6

"Of course..." Aburame Tetsumaru raised his eyebrows.

"No." His eyes suddenly turned into fish eyes that could not be blocked by sunglasses.

"..."

(°ー°〃)(°ー°〃)(°ー°〃)(°ー°〃)(°ー°〃)(°ー°〃)

Six classmates immediately surrounded Aburame Tetsumaru and blasted him with explosive hammers.

(￣ε(#￣)☆╰╮o(￣俣///)

"Go to hell, you bastard."

"I knew this bastard was that bad."

Yamanaka Yu kicked her twice and found out that the feeling of her kick was wrong.

She sighed, took out a hammer from behind, and pointed it at Aburame Tetsumaru's head.

With a bang, the Aburame Iron Pill turned into a wooden pile.

"Tch, you've practiced the transformation skill really well."

"when?"

"Didn't notice it at all."

Aburame Tetsumaru stood outside the crowd and answered with a smile.

"I really don't understand the relationship between hand seals and ninjutsu, but I found some special bugs in the process of looking for the answer."

"After being washed away by a large amount of chakra, most bugs will die, but a few bugs will survive. The bugs with the best appearance will be selected from them to breed offspring."

"After repeated breeding for more than ten generations, we finally got this mutant beetle, which can naturally inspire ninjutsu."

"The problem is that cultivating hundreds of bugs may not necessarily result in a successful mutation, and the ninjutsu that the bugs can activate is not known. They will die the moment they activate the ninjutsu, so it is not practical."

Yamanaka Yu raised his white and tender hands and said, "Wait a minute, you don't know what ninjutsu will appear?"

"yes."

"The wind arrow just now..."

"Oh, I was lucky this time. What appeared was a normal attacking ninjutsu."

(°ー°〃) x6

My friend's face is getting ugly. There are many ninjutsus, but there are a lot of inexplicable ninjutsus among the low-level ninjutsus, which means that just now it may trigger confusion, rage, violent sweating, incontinence and other strange ninjutsu effects.

Uchiha Fenghuo couldn't help but question.

"It's not that serious. No C-level ninjutsu has been found so far, and there are still some signs that can be roughly judged."

Aburame Tetsumaru explained while taking out six insects.

"The neater the shape of the insect's carapace, the higher its gloss, and the higher the level of ninjutsu it can inspire. The pattern, color and shape of the carapace are consistent with the nature of ninjutsu."

"In short, it can be used for research. You can share some of these ninjutsu insects and play with them."

The six friends rushed up and divided the insects, exhaling the fragrance as they did so.

"We are being used as test subjects again. The key is that it's just this one."

"That's right, the last time I alerted Cricket, I said it was a gift, but after using it, I sold it and made so much money."

"You are just asking us to do sales promotion. Each of us will be given a few hundred more, otherwise we will use them all here."

Aburame Tetsumaru felt that these little brats really deserved to be the elite seeds of the ninja clan, so he let it slip once and understood his salesmanship.

"Bah, I'll give you a few hundred bugs. I'll give them back to everyone. In my dreams, I said I could only get a mutated bug by raising hundreds of bugs."

What? Aburame Zhiwei has it in hand, Aburame Zhihei has more.

I don’t know.

Not given by me.

I won’t give it to you if you ask again.

Three quality warnings.

After playing enough, the friends collected the assigned bugs and dispersed to go home.

When the friends left, they couldn't help but take out the bug and play with it. The bug was really beautiful, with a well-proportioned body, a lustrous carapace, and a pair of big black bean eyes that were so cute.

Aburame Tetsumaru often says that appearance equals combat effectiveness. Regardless of whether the bugs he produces are functional or not, they definitely look good, and many of them are used as pets or decorations.

The Ninjutsu Insect was a major discovery made by Tetsumaru Aburame, and it was completely beyond the plan.

Through insight, it can be observed that these insects have unique chakra veins in their bodies. When chakra penetrates the veins, ninjutsu will be activated, without the need for hand seals at all.

This peculiar context is the underlying structure of ninjutsu? What is its relationship with mudra?

Aburame Tetsumaru's curiosity almost exploded. He vaguely felt that he might have caught the little tail of chakra, or even the hope of truly creating a swarm of insects.

Let him graduate and do some boring tasks at this time?

Just kidding, he's not short of money, and he doesn't need anything to prove himself.

Aburame Tetsumaru didn't tell a few friends about the real discovery because he couldn't explain the method of discovery and the darkness in Konoha Village was not easy to deal with.

The water in the ninja world is deep.

Aburame Tetsumaru carefully safeguarded her reputation, maintained an appropriate limelight and an appropriate promotion speed, and silently prepared more trump cards.

Two days later, Uchiha Fenghuo and Hyuga Tokuma took the assessment for early graduation and passed successfully.

Afterwards, Uchiha Fenghuo and Hyuga Tokuma were organized into ninja teams and began to be busy with tasks. In the future, gatherings of friends will become more and more rare.

After seeing off his two friends, Aburame Tetsumaru went too far in class and even openly skipped class.

Domoto Daimon was extremely annoyed by this, but the school had long been defeated by Tetsumaru Aburame's grades. A mere chuunin teacher had nothing to do with the bad student who ranked first in the grade.
