Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 25 Dispersed Retreat

After sending Aburame Shiguro away, Tetsumaru returned to his tent in the camp and chewed the information he got today alone.

As the first golden finger of time travellers, Aburame Tetsumaru's memory of the plot is a beacon. He can analyze the current intelligence against the plot with very high accuracy and credibility.

Danzo Shimura, a character that most ninjas in Konoha cannot get around.

The Aburame family was deeply involved with him. I remember that the last two guards who provided cover for Danzo before his death were one of them from the Aburame family and the other from the Yamanaka family.

Well, that time should be Konoha 63 or 64. At the same time, the Aburame family still had at least one named root, but I don’t know the rest.

According to the calculation of time, these two Aburora ninjas were not born yet, so they should be the elites of the next generation.

Judging from the fragments in the memory, the Aburonna ninja's whole body will turn purple, and she will be poisoned if she touches it. The parasites she controls are nano poisonous insects...

Wait, nano poisonous insects.

The mainstream of the family is the patriarch's lineage, which is an all-round parasite that develops in all aspects. Elder Zhixin's lineage is a macrophage parasite that develops in the direction of enlarging the size. Only Brother Zhihei's lineage develops in the direction of reducing the size.

of nanoparasites.

Is that purple-skinned boy the child of Brother Zhihei?

It should be.

The child of Brother Shiguro, the inheritor of the poisonous nano-insect, this is the core elite of the Aburame family. Just to gain some meaningless time to lift the seal, he was thrown away like cannon fodder.

Gan, your stubborn nature will not change.

It has been proven before and after that it should be true that Danzo completely wiped out the ninja at his core.

In the future, he will be the Hokage (a fifth and a half acting agent) as he wishes. He will be proud and his true nature will be exposed. Now he should be young and energetic, but he still doesn't know how to hide it.

If this is true, then the matter of the Hokage and other ninja clan collectively boycotting Danzo should be similar.

Because of the loss of members of the Aburome family, the family not only feels sorry for their children, but also feels sorry for the loss of strategic investments.

Dozens of family elites invest in a department. This is a major strategic investment for a family, with nearly 30% of its strength invested. The idea is to make the roots bigger and stronger, and then occupy a position.

As a result, Ku checked and found that no one was there.

You, Danzo, have tormented all of our family members and turned them into empty shells. What do you want to do?

Are dozens of elites, not just a few people, deliberately trying to trick our family?

Or is it that the root cause is just to use our children as cannon fodder in the pioneering period, and has long planned to wipe out all my children?

The reason why several families are working together to make a fuss is actually because they want the top management to express their opinion: Danzo, do you want to share the power of the root with us?

After analyzing this, Aburame Tetsumaru breathed a sigh of relief, and everything was right.

None of these things have anything to do with me.

…

An hour later, Captain Ueno called Tetsumaru, and the two went to the center of the camp to select team members.

Yes, the team members are selected now, which is a honey operation that makes people smart.

Except for the elite teams led by jounin and direct ninjas from large families, all ninja teams randomly select members.

In addition to ensuring that the ninja team is full, the team composition and the compatibility of the team members are not considered at all. It can be called the strongest combat effectiveness reduction strategy.

Because "more than half of the casualties" is one of the conditions for completing the mission, no captain dares to perform the mission without personnel. As a result, the grassroots teams are constantly being dismantled, and the casualty rate quickly rises to an incredible 60%.

For this reason, Matt Dai never returned to the team after recovering from his injury, and was transferred away from other teams and used as cannon fodder. This tough guy charged at the front and retreated from behind during the battle. Without the support of his familiar teammates, not only was he unable to obtain

Excellent record, but also very prone to injuries.

Matt Dai only performed one mission after recovering from injuries three times before he was seriously injured again and returned to the hospital. Now he has been hospitalized for the third time. He stayed in the hospital for two months and fifty-five days.

Moreover, not a single person has been snatched. I heard that Matt Dai has been judged as a "waste" and will most likely be returned to the village to perform coolie tasks such as transportation.

Picking two unknown genin at random, the Ueno team set off. This time it was a long-range reconnaissance mission.

After running ten kilometers away from the camp, Aburame Tetsumaru deployed the insect array, and all the scout bugs were dispatched to form a five-layer detection circle: the outermost dragonfly, carrying parasite bugs on its back, mainly used visual reconnaissance; the second layer was

The blood flies mainly use their sense of smell to detect the smell of blood and body odor; the third layer is the firefly, which produces aggregation and stimulating luminous effects on the dissipated chakra, and is specially used for night reconnaissance; the fourth layer is the large-eyed moth, which uses infrared vision

It is a detection method; the innermost layer is a jumping spider, which uses vibration as a detection method.

Of course, there is also the fourth-generation True Eye that he carries, which can observe infrared, ultraviolet, and fluorescence at the same time. After the detection insect array is deployed, Aburame Tetsumaru feels at ease and sends a signal to the captain that it is ready to go.

Captain Ueno gave orders to the two inexplicable newcomers, and the team headed due north.

The biggest result of two months of continuous fighting was the expulsion of the enemy. The Ueno team was on the road all night, and except for encountering two Konoha teams, nothing else happened.

The team selected a campsite at dawn and rested for half a day before continuing the mission.

The campsite chosen by Ueno had water. The two exhausted newcomers took the time to drink water and eat dry food, looking gloomy and silent.

Aburame Tetsumaru glanced at it, but was not in the mood to speak.

The mission standard of "if casualties exceed half, you can retreat" is so disgusting. Now the veterans and newcomers in the team can't trust each other at all.

The newcomers feel that they are tools used by the old ninjas to complete their missions. The old ninjas can't say that they don't think so, otherwise why would they bring two newcomers who are burdensome?

The Ueno team was divided into two groups and rested silently.

After eating and drinking, the two newcomers felt a little more energetic. Because the two veterans did not assign them to watch, they relaxed a lot.

They are not pure newcomers, they have also been in other teams.

Generally, the new members will stand guard when the team is resting, the new members will stay behind during the battle, and the new members will retreat after casualties. They are treated as pure cannon fodder.

They thought they might be lucky this time and met a reliable team that could even accept them.

As everyone knows, in Ueno and Aburame's hearts, as long as the mission method cannot be changed, they have no intention of accepting new people.

Although the two of them do not exploit or deliberately frame them, they will take care of them. However, the task completion standards are unreasonable, and the frequency of task execution is too high. Even if they give their full help, it is unlikely that the newcomer will persist. This is a reality.

…

After the break, they continued to move forward. Tetsumaru walked in the forward position, maintaining a speed of one hour and eight kilometers. This speed was too slow for ninjas, leaving the two newcomers walking in the middle baffled.

This speed is determined by the speed at which Iron Pill detects bugs. The detection must go first, and I really don’t dare to act haphazardly.

The Konoha ninjas rushed in and out, and the Sunagakure ninjas were equally uncomfortable. Because they lacked enough troops to fight tit for tat, they had to ambush everywhere and organize large forces to launch counterattacks at critical moments. Otherwise, they would be doomed if the Konoha ninjas found the camp.

To sum up, Konoha is trying its best to clear the fog of war, and Sunagakure is trying its best to stop it.

Therefore, after entering the Land of Rain, you don't know when you will encounter an ambush, or even bump into Sunagakure's counterattack squadron, and someone will die.

After bypassing six ambush points and traveling in circles for four hours, Aburame Tetsumaru suddenly raised his right hand and made a stop gesture. The two new ninjas immediately took cover. Captain Ueno Hayato noticed Tetsumaru himself.

There was no concealment. He understood that he had discovered the enemy situation in a distance and immediately stepped forward to understand the situation.

"One o'clock, three kilometers, six ninja teams, with puppets."

"Ten thirty, three point five kilometers, five ninja teams, a lot of puppets."

"Twelve o'clock, four kilometers, four ninja teams, and a large number of puppets."

Ueno Hayato took a deep breath, the situation was not good.

Sunagakure's counterattack usually consists of a squadron of forty-eight people, attacking in two lines.

Occasionally, there will be a larger-scale counterattack. Several squads will form a battle group, and seven or eight battle groups will form a horizontal line to sweep. The most dangerous thing is that there will be one or two larger-scale battle groups, sweeping from the front line.

The left and right sides were interspersed and outflanked, cutting off the Konoha ninja's retreat and forming an encirclement.

This time, three battle groups have been discovered on the front. It is a large-scale counterattack. It depends on whether one group or two groups are interspersed behind them.

"What's going on behind the scenes?"

"Wait a moment, let me confirm." Aburame Tetsumaru closed his eyes and activated his secret technique with all his strength to sense the reconnaissance bugs left behind.

The two newcomers stood out from the hiding place and approached the captain uneasily. They also realized that something was wrong, but they were confused when listening to the conversation between the captain and their seniors.

What? Can an enemy three kilometers away detect the specific number of people? Can they also determine the number of puppets?

Aburame-senpai is actually such a powerful sentient ninja?

There are so many enemies?

Aburame Tetsumaru opened his eyes and said solemnly: "About eight kilometers behind, there are two groups of ninjas. We didn't have time to break through before they encircled them."

"There is no other way." Hayato Ueno said apologetically, "Everyone, we can only retreat now."

"Let me tell you about the retreat tactics."

"The number of sand ninjas in the rear is enough for them to form two blocking lines of defense, and our strength is enough to break through a warning line of defense."

"The problem is that after breaking through the first line of defense, the enemies in the second line of defense will gather at the breakthrough point. At least three teams will gather. In the worst case, they will attract Jonin."

"So, after we broke through the first line of defense, we detoured to both sides and then broke out separately."

The rest depends on personal strength and luck. Hayato Ueno didn't say it out loud, but everyone understood this.

"Any questions?"

The three genin shook their heads together.

"Then act."

This time Captain Ueno walked first, Aburame Tetsumaru followed, and the two newcomers walked last.

Following the captain's footsteps, Aburame Tetsumaru had the power to activate the secret technique, and he could also use the psychic thread to mobilize the insects. He left a lot of inventory on the way here.

A few dragonflies took the lead, and the pheromones they carried woke up all the bugs and gathered at the predetermined breakthrough.

After all preparations were completed, Aburame Tetsumaru switched to the leading position of the team, replaced by Ueno Hayato to follow, and prepared for battle.

The two newcomers were in a hurry, unsure of what preparations they should make. The last one prepared a few detonating charms, and the other rummaged through the ninja bag and took out a kunai and held it in his hand.

Hayato Yamano got ready, and when he saw the preparations of the two newcomers, he was speechless for a while.

There's still a lot of distance left, won't holding a kunai affect the running rhythm?

The advantages of taking out the detonating talisman are limited.

He couldn't help but point out the two newcomers, even though the chance of them breaking out alive this time was slim.

"Tangle all the detonating charms around the kunai handle and pull the detonating cord. The next breakout battle will require maximum firepower immediately."

"Don't hold it in your hand, just put it in your bag and make sure it's on the outside."

"Remember not to throw all the kunai out, but keep a handful for use when breaking out."

"If the enemy shows up, throw it with a shuriken. Don't worry about whether it hits or not, just run away."

"If the enemy uses ninjutsu, use the last kunai, don't be reluctant."

"If the enemy is #@%&, you will ￥%...&*."

"..."

As he spoke, Ueno shut up, and the two newcomers were even more at a loss.

Aburame Tetsumaru curled her lips and said, "You said too much, captain."

The first three sentences are just right, but the rest of the adaptability is all nonsense. People are just bitter insects. If they don’t experience the suffering for themselves, they can’t remember the lessons. Any summaries of experience are all in vain.

"Wrap the detonating talisman around the kunai, pull the detonating cord, and put it on the outside of the ninja bag. Throw them out as soon as you start fighting. Remember to keep the last one." The captain emphasized one last time.

"The rest depends on your luck."
