Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 18 Reasons to participate in the war? Non-existent

In the early spring of Konoha's 31st year, graduation season has arrived.

There is no such thing as unemployment after graduation in Konoha, especially when the war has started. Everyone goes to the battlefield right after graduation.

Aburame Tetsumaru made all possible war preparations.

In terms of Ninjutsu, he completed a complete chakra meridian adjustment method. By comparing it with other Ninjutsu data, it was determined to be an A-level training technique and named Ninjutsu.

Because the first version of the Ninjutsu practice method only had the parasite surgery method, and could only be practiced by the ninjas of the Aburame family, Aburame Tetsumaru thought about it and finally did not dare to give this ninjutsu to the family.

A brand new secret technique, with a difficulty level of A, can change the qualifications of ninjas, enhance their physique and total amount of chakra, which is enough to make people greedy.

If only the ninjas of the Aburame family could practice, greed would turn into jealousy. Aburame Tetsumaru was sure that the disclosure of the Ninja Technique would become a disaster that the family could not afford.

In terms of ninja insects, Aburame Tetsumaru also made a huge breakthrough, and the insect swarm plan really began to be implemented.

It was simply unbelievable that after he verified that chakra actually had the ability to make wishes come true, he mixed sperm and insect eggs at will, and half of them were able to hatch, as if there was no reproductive isolation in this world.

Every time the hybrid experiment was successful, Tetsumaru Aburame would experience a creepy feeling. It was so terrifying.

Chakra's ability to break the boundaries of species, in the eyes of him, a biological laboratory dog, far exceeds the level of science fiction and reaches the realm of fantasy.

And what's even more terrifying is that he can merge two species of insects as he wishes. When he wants to use locusts to obtain the sharp horns of stag beetles, the hybrid eggs can get about 10% of the desired locusts after hatching.

Hey, this is a miracle, no, it’s a miracle!

Among the genes of the catalpa beetle, the gene fragment expressing the pointed horn accounts for only one in a few million of the total. Excluding the factor of reproductive isolation, the probability of successfully grafting onto the locust gene is only one in a trillion.

It's considered high.

Through the hybrid operation after chakra infusion, 10% successful locusts can be obtained. This is truly a dream come true.

He had a new guess about the nature of chakra, and the origin of the Otsutsuki clan was even more suspicious. A mere space bandit was not worthy of possessing such terrifying technology.

If we had to compare it, Chakra and the legendary star-destroying weapon Water Drop are at the same level, and the technical level of the two should be relatively close.

The more I think about it, the more I get scared.

…

As the top student from enrollment to graduation, Aburame Tetsumaru's reputation is still very resounding.

According to Elder Zhihui and Lord Hokage, this child is very talented. He needs to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, realize his talent and become a unique talent. He cannot waste his talent.

Aburame Tetsumaru had long been accustomed to the values ​​​​of the ninja world and was ready to go to the battlefield, but the explanations given by Elder Shiki and the Hokage still made him unable to help but complain about the wonderful logic.

What a waste of legs!

Death is the ultimate waste, right?

However, everyone from the Hokage down to the elder Aburame believed that ninjas must fight, and Aburame Tetsumaru had no choice.

People under the eaves cannot but bow their heads.

…

Many major events have occurred in the ninja world.

The biggest impact on Konoha Village was the destruction of Uzushio Village. In this incident, Konoha behaved very badly and strangely.

There was no warning in advance, no reinforcements were sent when the incident occurred, and it is said that no call for help was received.

What cannot be explained is that at that time, a group of ninjas from the Senju family went to support them, and eventually all of them died in the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

Afterwards, Konoha sent reinforcements but failed to rescue even a single Uzumaki clan member.

The most striking contrast to this fact is that half a year after the destruction of Uzushio Village, Konohagakure brought back the young and extremely talented Uzumaki Kushina without much effort in order to find a successor to the Jinchuriki.

The Uzushio Village incident had a huge impact. The first person to bear the brunt was Uzumaki Mito, the widow of the First Hokage, who was devastated and her health declined sharply. Moreover, she was extremely resentful of the Third Hokage and never saw anyone in the Sarutobi family behind closed doors.

Yecun lost its strongest combat power.

Secondly, no matter how Sarutobi Hiruzen explains it, the fact is that Konoha's die-hard allies have been destroyed, and other small alliance villages naturally doubt Konoha's ability and credibility.

In the decades since then, Konoha has never gained a single true ally. The so-called allies are all rat-like.

For example, Sunagakure cooperated with Orochimaru to carry out the "Konoha Collapse Plan". After being an alliance with Konoha for who knows what ten years, he felt invisible threats from his allies. In order to avoid being betrayed by Konoha, he simply betrayed them first.

Everyone knows the consequences of Konoha's collapse plan. Sunagakure paid a mere fourth-generation Kazekage, and the Wind and Fire Alliance was re-established.

How careless this is.

The second major event was the outbreak of the Ninja War, known as the Second Ninja War.

The initiator of the war turned out to be the village of Hidden Rain in the last war. Under the leadership of the leader Hanzo, the rain ninjas attacked the Kingdom of Iron.

When Aburame Tetsumaru saw this information, a question mark appeared on his forehead. The Land of Rain and the Land of Iron are not bordering each other. They are separated by the Land of Grass and the Land of Taki, a distance of several hundred kilometers.

What kind of honey operation is this?

You must know that the samurai and ninja career modes are completely failed. Samurai do not accept employment tasks and have no direct conflict of interest with ninjas.

Is Hanzo planning to build a large enclave nearly a thousand kilometers away? Or is he really unable to stand the climate of the Rain Country and plans to move the entire country to the Iron Country?

What are you doing in a barren land of ice and snow like the Iron Country?

In any case, this is the era of ninjas. The samurai are being beaten and retreating, and they can only ask for help from everywhere.

The Iron Kingdom's status as a neutral country is recognized by the five major powers. This recognition is not a verbal guarantee, but a guarantee by force.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Rain was boycotted by the five major countries. Among them, Konoha and Sunagakure directly sent troops to the Kingdom of Rain, and Kumogakure and Kirigakure sent troops to the Kingdom of Iron. Only Iwagakure's resistance remained verbal.

Facing the ninja armies of the four nations, Hanzo had no choice but to retreat, and then declared war on Konoha and Sunagakure. The ensuing war began the legendary performance of the demigods.

After returning to the Land of Rain, Hanzo led the Rain Ninja to take advantage of the favorable location and the ferocious attack of the Sansho Fish. They not only withstood the attacks of Konoha and Sunagakure, but also caused huge casualties.

The two countries repeatedly increased their troops, but they could not suppress Hanzo. Both Kage felt deeply humiliated.

When Iwagakure saw that Amegakure Village had withstood the attacks of two major ninja villages, the Third Tsuchikage reached out and wiped his face, turned around and formed an alliance with Amegakure, sending troops to the Land of Rain to fight against Sunagakure and Konoha.

After Iwagakure entered the situation, the young Sunagakure senior management quickly invested the main force and mobilized the puppet master troops to send into the Land of Rain.

The new leader of the Sunagakure Ninja Army is Chiyo of the Puppet Force. She is not only the puppet master, but also the top medical ninja of Sunagakure and a first-generation poison-making master in the ninja world.

Chiyo quickly developed an antidote to the highly toxic Sansho fish. Although it could not completely detoxify it, half an hour after drinking it, it could greatly enhance the resistance of the Sansho fish toxin, greatly weakening Hanzo's lethality.

This is enough. After all, the quality of the Amegakure ninjas is far inferior to that of the Sunagakure ninjas. The number of Sunagakure ninjas who have entered the Land of Rain to fight has long been several times that of the Amegakure ninjas.

On the battlefield of the Land of Rain, Sunagakure's troops had an absolute advantage, and they offset the poisonous advantage of the Sansho Fish, so they naturally won successively.

After Hanzo and Onoki had some time to ventilate, they decided to shrink their troops and retreat to Amegakure Village for defense.

Sunagakure, who had captured half of the Rain Country, was not surprised. Before the Rain Hidden Village was captured, the Third Kazekage issued an order to launch an attack on the invisible ally Konoha in an attempt to monopolize the Rain Country.

Sunagakure's attack was caught off guard, and he surrounded and annihilated thousands of Konoha ninjas in one fell swoop, completely defeating Konoha. The remaining soldiers were defeated and retreated to the Land of Fire in embarrassment.

Seeing Chiyo's world-renowned achievements, the Sandaime Kazekage could not sit still. He personally led the army in the direction of Kawakuni to launch an offensive to invade the Land of Fire, cooperating with the direction of the Rain Country.

At this point, the strategy of the Kingdom of Wind shifted from attacking on all sides to an all-out attack on the Kingdom of Fire.

At this time, Kirigakure Village was like an octopus that couldn't control its tentacles. The big and small ninja clans in the village formed alliances and invaded the Country of Thunder, the Country of Waves, the Country of Whirlpool, the Country of Fire, and Kumogakure at the same time.

Konoha and Sunagakure went to war at the same time.

It is said that the Sandaime Mizukage of Kirigakure Village was completely unable to control Kirigakure Village. He was so angry that an old injury broke out, he vomited blood and passed out. He lay down on the bed and could not get up.

The entire ninja world has turned into a mess.

Only Kumo was hiding in the Land of Thunder, and the Sandaime Raikage, who was known for his violent temper, was silently observing the ninja world.

…

The Kingdom of Fire was invaded by the Kingdom of Wind to the west and plundered by the Kingdom of Water to the east. Naturally, the Daimyo was very worried and sent people to send messages to urge the Hokage to solve the problem.

Aburame Tetsumaru's graduating students no longer have instructors assigned to them. During the war, jounin were either on the front line or on their way to the front line.

But it would be too much to not even organize the team. Perhaps in the eyes of the senior management, the best of this class have graduated early, and the rest are mediocre people, pure cannon fodder, and are quickly sent to the front line to supplement the vacant teams.

go.

As a result, 344 students were organized into a super-organized brigade, a rare sight in the ninja army, led by several experienced chuunin, and prepared to go to the front line.

As usual, they gathered before departure to receive the "spirit of fire" injected by the Hokage. Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had become better and better at speaking, smoothly boosted morale.

The students who received the spiritual infusion were also students from lower grades. Lord Hokage was unwilling to give up every opportunity to promote his ideas.

Thirty minutes have passed, and Hokage-sama still has twenty-seven minutes to speak, ugh.

The bored Aburame Tetsumaru closed his eyes and looked around through the snail-shaped second-generation eyes of reality.

"Good guy, finally a strong man appears."

In the third-grade team, there is a pair of red-and-yellow-haired CP team, this is the future Golden Flash and the soon-to-be-famous Blood Red Pepper, right? They got together at the age of eight?

Oh, no, they are not a couple yet, Namikaze Minato is flirting with Uzumaki Kushina, this xsp.

If the relationship between the two has not broken through yet, it means that the Kushina kidnapping incident has not happened yet. Minato, come on.

Ah, I found a white-haired one. Jiraiya appeared here. Is he going to lead the team? But I don’t want to go to the Rain Country front. Sunagakure and Rain Gakure are both good at playing poison. Plus, the environment with continuous heavy rain is what I hate the most.

battlefield.

The biggest problem is not the environment, but the ninja Hanzo.

The top management of Konoha allowed students from the Ninja School to graduate early. Although there was a gap in the frontline troops, they also judged the situation to be relatively confident and allowed the new recruits to familiarize themselves with the war on a less stressful battlefield.

But Aburame Tetsumaru knew that the Land of Rain was extremely dangerous, because the future Hanzo defeated the Konoha Ninja Army and three of Hokage's disciples head-on, gained the title of "Demigod", and also gave away the title of "Konoha Sannin".

Now Hanzo is just a "powerful" ninja, nicknamed "Sanshouyu" rather than "demigod".

The Land of Rain was ravaged, but Hanzo showed great prestige, his nickname became a surname, and he was awarded the new title of "Demigod". Although the plot in my memory does not describe the specific exaggerated achievements Hanzo achieved, but "Demigod"

This title obviously corresponds to "God of Ninja".

Senju Hashirama is called a god because he swept across the entire ninja world, so it would be appropriate for the demigod Sansho Hanzo to be honored as a demigod for defeating the three major ninja villages.

This shows that Hanzo has not yet completely defeated the ninja army of a big country, and has not yet achieved the success of a small ninja village challenging the five major ninja villages for the first time.

If the Kingdom of Rain is a little more remote, such as the location of the Kingdom of Ghosts, this record will be enough to stay in a corner and escape the chaos of war.

However, the Kingdom of Rain is a transportation thoroughfare that connects the three major countries of Air, Earth, and Fire at the same time. Its strategic location is very important. The three major countries have no reason to give up. Even if the ninja army is defeated, they will gather heavy troops to fight back.

The more Aburame Tetsumaru thinks about it, the worse she feels. Is it okay not to participate in this war mobilization? It can be done.

Just forcibly delaying one recruitment will have serious backlash, and you will definitely be forced to be assigned in a targeted manner next time, and there will be a record of cowardice, and you will be targeted by the commander in a separate book.

More importantly, Aburame Tetsumaru only knew that Hanzo was very strong, but did not know the exact timing. Who knows which year will be Hanzo's battle to become famous.

If the information is inaccurate, then it is better to stay still than to move. Moving with the trend is the best option.

I'm not the weakest in strength, and I'm not the worst in luck. I'm just going to the battlefield to earn my life, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

Aburame Tetsumaru took out a locust from the ninja bag on his waist. The sharp metal head of the locust felt cool, which calmed his mood a little.

About to go to the battlefield, Aburame Tetsumaru couldn't help but panic.

In fact, he also understood that the fundamental reason for the panic was that he could not find a reason to join the war. Why did he fight so hard?

Speaking more broadly, fighting for the Land of Fire, fighting for the Leaf Village?

It’s funny, to paraphrase an old saying: What’s the difference between Dili and me? To put it another way, it means: Konohagakure, headed by the Sandaime, has no favors to the Aburame family and my little family of Aburame Tetsumaru.

It’s right to fight for the Leaf Village of the First Generation era, and it’s okay to fight for the Leaf Village of the Second Generation era. Sandaime, why do you think you can let me risk my life?

When I was young, I fought for my family and my parents.

This is indeed a sufficient reason. Aburame Tetsumaru received great kindness from his family and parents in raising him, and it is appropriate to repay him with his life.

But Tetsumaru doesn't trust the top management of Konoha Village. He doesn't think that winning the war will make his parents' lives better, nor can his family benefit. In the last war, Konoha Village won a complete victory, but the result was that the whole family would starve.

.

Aburame Tetsumaru is not a war madman, nor is he a fool. He does not consider success and fame in the war at all. Glory and wealth are just a cloud.

He would only think about himself in case the family would get worse, and he felt that he was a strong man who was dragged into the battlefield. How can a strong cannon fodder not be afraid of death?

…

Amidst the anxiety, the Hokage's speech ended.
