Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 20 Finally established

Aburame Tetsumaru's hands were shaking. It was the first time he participated in a battle. Although he was not injured (the beetle armor resisted kunai and ninjutsu), he was still so nervous that his muscles were stiff.

The battle was over, but he couldn't relax at all. His mind went blank, the muscles in his body were stiff, and the muscles in his limbs were still twitching.

However, when he smelled the smell of blood in the air, he did not feel nausea or fear, nor did he feel like vomiting. He just felt empty, as if he had entered the time of the sage.

Aburame Tetsumaru waited until the stiffness eased a little, then stood up and looked at the enemy's corpse. The corpse that died of cardiac arrest had a purple face and its eyes were so angry that they almost fell out of their sockets.

Aburame Tetsumaru didn't intend to go up and touch the corpse. Searching for a ninja's corpse was a very professional job, especially one wearing a sand ninja forehead protector. With the rise of the Sunagakure Village's puppet master army, their poison became more and more effective.

It's getting more and more powerful.

In the past, the corpses of sand ninjas often only concealed highly poisonous scorpions. Now there are various mechanisms and deadly toxins. It is better to leave the corpse touching to professionals. Anyway, Aburame Tetsumaru has that.

Small money.

In addition, ninja schools specifically teach you not to expect to be able to obtain ninjutsu from the enemy during a war.

No ninja would carry a ninjutsu scroll on the battlefield, and teaching tools were never very useful. Too much burden would drag down a ninja and lead to death.

Aburame Tetsumaru then checked the two teammates. The teammate who was hit by the tree still showed signs of life, but the first teammate was already dead.

Aburame Tetsumaru didn't have the strength to move the big tree now, so he took out a knife and cut off all the branches of the big tree, revealing the pale faces of his teammates.

The teammate was breathing heavily. It was obvious that he was injured, and his nervousness and fear had exhausted his energy.

When he saw Aburame Tetsumaru for the first time, he asked: "We won?"

"Well, there are four sand ninjas in total. We killed them all."

"I'm sorry, I'm so useless."

"Don't say that. Without your help, I would have been killed."

Aburame Tetsumaru was not a consolation. Without two teammates to attract the enemy's attention, it would be difficult to hit all of the first wave of locust sneak attacks. And he was at his limit when dealing with one chuunin. He only narrowly escaped death with the protection of the beetle.

, if another sand ninja comes, he will definitely be beaten to death.

"Where's Gontaro, how is he?"

It turns out that his teammate is called Gontaro. Aburame Tetsumaru shook his head silently.

"!"

Sobs and cries sounded. The two of them were talking and laughing just now. They imagined what would happen after the frontline camp. A minute later, no one was there. It was the first time that a friend died. It was such a shock to a ten-year-old child.

Extremely excessive.

A child who faces death for the first time and acts as if nothing has happened is either a psychopath like Itachi Uchiha, or a time traveler like Tetsumaru Aburame who is almost fifty years old at heart. Anyway, they are not normal people.

Aburame Tetsumaru looked at his crying teammates and was gradually affected. He suddenly thought of his teammates who died in the battle and hurriedly left to see the situation of his teammates who died in the battle to avoid crying.

At this moment, support from the large army arrived, and Aburame Tetsumaru suppressed his sadness and faced it with a stern face.

The reinforcements arrived too late. From the time Aburame Tetsumaru sent the signal, a full four minutes passed until the reinforcements arrived.

The tempo of the ninja battle was too fast. Five of the seven ninjas on both sides were killed and one was injured. A battle with such tragic casualties actually only lasted thirty seconds.

Aburame Tetsumaru and his teammates looked at the support, and both of them looked a little unkind.

My position is only 150 meters away from the main force. What's the point of the support arriving four minutes later? Are they just here to collect the corpses?

When the reinforcements approached, both of them were stunned.

The reinforcements were two chuunin and six genin. The two chunin had battle marks on their bodies. They must have been in a battle. The two saw that only one of the team here was dead and one was injured. They couldn't help but relax and quickly took command.

The genin went to help.

One of the chunin called out to Aburame Tetsumaru.

"I am Chunin Yamashiro Chikata, reporting on the situation here."

"yes."

"I am the leader of the third temporary reconnaissance team, genin Aburame Tetsumaru. We discovered a four-person team while performing a reconnaissance mission..."

"...After killing the sand ninja, I couldn't help my teammates escape, so I could only wait for rescue on the spot."

Another chuunin directed the four genin to move the tree trunk, help the wounded treat their wounds, and then came over to listen to Aburame Tetsumaru's report.

The more the two chuunin heard, the more surprised they became. The two members of the reconnaissance team only played a role in distracting the enemy's attention. Aburame Tetsumaru actually wiped out an entire sand ninja combat team by himself.

Another genius?

The two chuunin muttered for a while, but didn't say anything. The genius of Konoha Village is worthless.

Aburame Tetsumaru also realized that his strength in this battle seemed a bit exaggerated, and the graduates who could fight against chuunin stood out a little bit.

It's just that in reality, he has no way to hide his strength. He was struggling on the edge of death just now and barely managed to survive. Thinking about hiding any strength at this time is tantamount to seeking death.

After the battlefield was cleaned, the chunin led the team back.

After the supporting chuunin returned to the group, Commander Jiraiya ordered them to move quickly. The place where they were attacked was very close to the frontline camp, and the march would not take more than forty minutes. The enemy deliberately set up an ambush here to create a psychological gap.

An hour later, the entire recruit team carrying the wounded arrived at the camp. Jiraiya felt relieved and arranged for the new genin to move into the camp and sort out the information.

The genin who had calmed down from the shock also began to exchange information with each other. Aburame Tetsumaru quickly obtained a lot of information and pieced together a full picture of the attack.

The attackers were undoubtedly sand ninjas. There were four teams in total, including a team of puppet masters.

The Sunagakure ninjas first attacked the reconnaissance team led by Aburame Tetsumaru. The attack on the right wing was only a feint attack by one team, intended to attract attention and support, and then raided the large team from the other side.

But Jiraiya made a correct judgment and first supported the other side. Two of the three sand ninja teams were intercepted. The attack turned into a strong attack. The effect of the raid was much lower than expected.

However, the casualties were still very heavy. Of the nine genin in the three reconnaissance teams on the left wing, only one was seriously injured, and the remaining eight were killed.

The brigade was attacked by a team of puppet masters who slipped through the net. Four puppet masters controlled six puppets to fire poison needles. In just eight seconds of covering fire, a total of more than 1,300 thousand needles were fired, causing more than 70 casualties.

The Senbon fired by the puppet's mechanism is not very lethal, and its lethality depends on the poison attached to the Senbon.

After being poisoned, the reaction of the newcomers determines their fate. Those who swallow the detoxification pill quickly are slightly injured, those who are a step too late are seriously injured, and those who run around in a panic are all dead.

Aburame Tetsumaru saw the names of his clan members in the death list. Aburame Shishin and Aburame Takata died in the battle. Two cousins ​​of the same age were missing in the blink of an eye.

…

I don’t know if it’s because the reinforcements suffered serious damage, but the atmosphere in the entire camp is quite depressing.

Aburame Tetsumaru was waiting for the order. He found an abandoned wooden pile as a bench and quietly reflected on today's battle. Although he won the battle unscathed, he did not rely on hard power.

I originally thought I could tie with the chuunin, but the reality is that I am like a weightlifter challenging a free-fighting athlete. I can't beat myself no matter what, and the enemy will feel comfortable no matter how hard I beat him.

In this battle, he was completely suppressed by the chunin-level sand ninja, especially in the short close combat. He was in the enemy's rhythm from beginning to end. All attacks were blocked, and almost all the enemy's attacks hit.

Being able to survive depends entirely on the defensive power of the beetle armor. Otherwise, there would be at least four or five bloody holes stabbed by kunai. The wounds caused by kunai are terrible. Even if they miss the vital point, they will lose a lot of blood, and they will bleed to death in the blink of an eye.

.

The winning factor was the pixel analysis ability of the snail-shaped Eye of Truth combined with the surprise attack ability of the Locust, which killed three Sand Ninja genin first, creating a numerical advantage.

In the end, the Muji Secret Technique and the Neurotoxic Crystal Powder sealed the victory, all of which were unexpected. No wonder I always heard senior ninjas say that intelligence is the number one combat power of ninjas.

This battle proved that Aburame Tetsumaru's skills were still far behind those of the chuunin, but with her reconnaissance ability, locust attack and beetle defense, her overall strength was enough to compete with the chuunin.

In the subsequent battles, we should focus on long-range attacks and take advantage of the advantages of locusts and snails.

When Aburame Tetsumaru carefully considered his new tactical model, the transfer order was issued, and he was added to an incomplete team. The leader's name was stated in the order: Konoha Chuunin Ueno Hayato.

With the help of the transfer order, Aburame Tetsumaru found a medium-sized tent in the northwest corner of the camp, but no one was there.

There was a bonfire surrounded by stones in front of the tent, which had been extinguished. There were four large stones used as stools around the bonfire. There was a pile of garbage in the shadow, mixed with bloody cloth and bandages, which was quite dazzling.

In a rather simple campsite, Aburame Tetsumaru searched around the tent. Although he found no one, he was able to confirm that he had not gone to the wrong place, so he picked a stone to sit down on and took out a box from his backpack.

Open the box, take out the rows of eggs inside, check them and use secret techniques to stimulate the activity of the eggs, spray some disinfectant, then sprinkle the eggs on the sunny land, and finally cover them with a layer

Thin soil.

Take out another box, which contains hatched locust larvae. After inspection, scatter the larvae into the surrounding grass and let them feed on their own.

In his last breath, he took out fifteen or six boxes, filled with sawdust, containing locusts that had pupated.

It is impossible for the migratory locusts cultivated by Aburame Iron Pills to survive the pupation stage on their own. The amount of iron and calcium they need to consume during this period is too much. Ingesting so much metal during the larvae period will cause poisoning and death. They can only be artificially fertilized during the pupation stage.

injection.

Carefully manipulate the parasites to inject enough nutrient solution and iron oxide solution into the pupae, and then put them away.

The sky has started to get dark, but no one has come back.

Aburame Tetsumaru was not in a hurry. After eating some dry food, he hung upside down at the end of the treetop and undulated with the wind. While exercising his chakra control, he thought about how to cultivate insects next.

To be honest, Aburame Tetsuwan was a little scared.

He had cultivated more than a hundred kinds of ninja insects in advance, all kinds of them, and he had devised various tactics, but today's battle proved that these ideas were all wrong.

If he hadn't had that sudden idea and successfully created two types of bugs, one offensive and one defensive, he would probably have been seriously injured in the battle today, and would have had to use other life-saving trump cards.

If some trump cards are revealed, the subsequent troubles may be even worse.

The main bugs in the battle, the migratory locusts and the armored beetles, both have a common feature, which is the insertion of genes that allow parasitic insects to devour chakra.

To a certain extent, these two ninja insects are specialized parasitic insects that can use chakra to greatly enhance their own characteristics, such as the speed and destructive power of locusts and the defensive power of armored beetles, but they cannot produce chakra themselves or

The amount of chakra is very small, and one must stay in the host's body for a long time to absorb enough chakra.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and actual combat is the only criterion for testing weapon design ideas.

Now that the actual combat results have come out, the correct idea is to turn the ninja into a bad insect, and all those messy designs and ideas can be sealed away.
