Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 34 You two are the protagonists, right?

After a big battle, Sunagakure Village temporarily retreated, but Konoha Village was undecided whether to launch an attack, so the battlefield situation eased.

Hatake Sakumo did not stay in the Kingdom of Rain when the war was suspended. He was transferred from the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind as a fire captain, and soon went to the battlefield of the Kingdom of Water.

In order to boost morale, the top management of Konoha did not conceal the whereabouts of Konoha White Fang, but the specific time when he left and the route he took were absolute secrets.

Although Hatake Sakumo killed 4 Sunagakure jounin in this battle, raising his jounin kill record to 39, this was achieved with support and cover. If his whereabouts were leaked,

Being blocked by four or five jounin is still very dangerous.

After all, today's Sunagakure Village issued an order to take down White Fang's head at all costs against this formidable enemy who had killed thirty of their own jounin, instead of "retreat immediately upon seeing White Fang" a few years later.

A great ninja village must be killed to such an extent that it would issue such a desperate and unfulfilled order.

Anyway, the Sandaime Hokage was not able to gain such a reputation until his death, and every now and then some rubbish combinations like the Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swords would claim to kill him, so they really didn't take him seriously.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't complain. After he ascended to the position of Hokage, he never fought seriously on the battlefield again.

The Sandaime doesn't have the title of "The Strongest Hokage of All Time" on his head. A rubbish title like "Doctor of Ninjutsu" is really not a deterrent. He hasn't set a new record in ten years.

For Konoha ninjas like Aburame Tetsumaru, the biggest impact after Hatake Sakumo's departure is that the Sunagakure ninjas are back, and the good days of returning to the Land of Fire to bask in the sun are over.

Uchiha Kei was very happy because he received a heavy reward from his family for being promoted to Romatama. Not only did he get money, but he also mastered several ninjutsu, especially the thunder escape ninjutsu that was suitable for the Land of Rain. He was very happy to show it.

Two.

But this guy is really an outlier among the outliers in the Uchiha family. Aburame Tetsumaru discovered that he had been pretending to be proud, but in fact he was extremely cautious and cautious, without any hint of rebelliousness.

But Uchiha Keiya is not an Uchiha with boundless love. He is not kind at all. Ordinary people are very active in hiding their whereabouts and silencing them.

Obviously an illusion can be done, and it is more reliable, but he is more willing to kill people, then burn them to ashes, and then bury the ashes deep or simply spread them.

There is always something about this behavior that makes people want to laugh and feel embarrassed, and it feels very familiar.

Aburame Tetsuwan savored it carefully: Well~~~, the taste of the protagonist.

…

"There is a new mission."

Aburame Tetsumaru took the task letter, a thin piece of paper, folded it in half three times, and sealed the edges with wax.

In front of the messenger ninja, Aburame Tetsumaru confirmed the integrity of the wax seal, then opened the mission book. After remembering the mission content firmly, he summoned a swarm of insects to eat the mission book.

After signing the document proving acceptance of the mission, handing it to the messenger ninja, and sending him away, Aburame Tetsumaru scratched his head. It turned out to be a mission to clear out the traitorous ninja.

As we all know, Konoha Village is the most tolerant of rebellious ninjas. It rarely takes the initiative to issue missions to hunt down rebellious ninjas, causing a lot of Konoha rebellious ninjas to cause trouble in the ninja world. At the peak of the Four Wars,

It's basically the Konoha rebel Ninja group beating the five major Ninja villages.

So if a rare mission to hunt down traitorous ninjas is released, it will be very troublesome, super troublesome.

For example, the pursuit of Orochimaru more than ten years later, Konoha Village was indeed pretending, but for the ninja who was hit by the mission, it would inevitably add a failure record, which was tiring and had no money.

What's even worse is that you are just pretending to be a good person but are unlucky enough to bump into the real one. That's the end of the world. Anyone who rebels must have something wrong in their heart, and they might kill you.

Fortunately, the target of this mission was a chuunin, not a jounin, let alone a genin. Tetsumaru felt a lot more relieved, at least he didn't worry that he would be killed by a traitorous ninja.

After packing up the bugs and equipment that they carried with them, summoning their two subordinates, Aburame Tetsumaru's team embarked on the pursuit.

According to the information in the mission book, this traitorous ninja is called Jiu Yuan. He is thirty-three years old and belongs to the ninja stationed in Konoha Village. He set out from Konoha Village six days ago to perform a mission. During the period, he killed two teammates and defected.

The last time he was seen was two days ago. At that time, Jiuyuan's defection had not yet been exposed. He received an important piece of information from an intelligence station.

This information station is an intelligence center set up for the Kingdom of Earth. It is very close to the camp of the Kingdom of Rain army, so the pursuit mission is assigned to the frontline ninja army.

While on the road, Aburame Tetsumaru informed his two subordinates of the intelligence and mission details.

Uchiha Kei didn't say a word, but his murderous aura became more intense. He wanted to kill someone.

What surprised Aburame Tetsumaru was Kurama Yun. After hearing the information, the little girl rolled her eyes and suddenly her temperament changed drastically.

She is obviously still the skinny little girl with no breasts and no butt, but she becomes more charming when she walks and jumps, and a lazy and charming atmosphere permeates her.

Even his voice changed when he spoke, and he muttered in a slightly hoarse voice: "It's really troublesome at the root."

"!!"

Damn it, another monster.

Aburame Tetsumaru continued to move forward calmly, but in her heart she felt ten thousand divine beasts running past. Yes, the information in the mission book was vague on the key information.

The traitor Jiu Yuan accepted a piece of "important" information and defected. It is normal not to disclose the specific content of the information, but it is not right to not say what kind of information it is, nor to demand that the information be recovered or destroyed.

The logical task should be to kill the traitorous ninja, recover and confirm the intelligence, but there was none.

There is a high probability that there is something in this information that is not suitable for you to know, and someone else is responsible for executing the information.

This is annoying.

The ones who do such dirty work in the Leaf Village are the roots.

If you look at the composition of Aburame's Tetsumaru team, there is one Uchiha, one Kurama, and one Aburame. They are either targets of persecution by the root, or they are talents coveted by the root.

Of course, Aburame Tetsumaru would wonder if there was something fishy about assigning this mission to his team. For example, a man who was not yet blind wanted to hunt rabbits, kill the traitorous ninja and regain the information, and kill an eyesore at the same time, so that the two wanted to

Talents "volunteer" to join ANBU.

These things are complicated, and even though Aburame Tetsumaru II is a person and knows a lot of plot information, it still took me a while to figure it out.

Kurama Yun rolled his eyes and figured it out. Isn't this a monster? The most important thing is that this little girl's voice and temperament have changed. Is it an old ghost possessing her? Or maybe she has a split personality, and a person with an IQ of 300 has emerged.

Personality?

It also feels like looking directly at the protagonist.

[I hope I’m overthinking]

The three people came to Konoha's intelligence station, which was hidden under a remote grocery store in the town. There were very few businesses in the town and there were very few customers, so it was very suitable as a cover for covert activities.

Sneaking past the drowsy clerk, Aburame Tetsumaru entered the secret passage behind the store and met the Konoha intelligence ninja stationed there.

Catching traitorous ninjas in the ninja world is different from capturing fugitives in Blue Star. In most cases, traitorous ninjas are premeditated and fully prepared to defect during the mission time. When they find out that at least one day has passed, the subsequent pursuit and competition will be fierce.

It's tracking and anti-tracking.

For example, Beiruhu of Konoha Village and Scorpion of Sunagakure Village are typical rebellious ninjas. They were disappeared before reappearing.

The later defection of Orochimaru and Erzhuzi was actually a huge failure. They were discovered before they even left the house and were beaten out. Isn't this nonsense?

It’s not that the background of these two people is too deep, the whole village went crazy together, and everyone died at the gate of the village.

According to the latest newly obtained information, Jiuyuan is most likely a spy rather than a traitor. He killed two teammates during the mission and then disappeared.

At the same time, a piece of information about Iwagakure Village carried by the three ninjas also disappeared.

The reason why it was judged that the chuunin Jiugen defected was because the two dead ninjas were killed by close-range sneak attacks and ate poisonous food before they died. This was obviously the work of an acquaintance.

Two of the three people died at the hands of acquaintances, and the remaining one was missing. Moreover, the information held by the three people was also missing. Everyone could conclude that Jiuyuan defected.

After receiving Jiu Yuan's information, Aburame Tetsumaru set off with his team without any delay. Two and a half days had passed, and tracking was quite difficult.

First, they came to the place where the two sacrificial ninjas were found. All the traces became very blurry, and the three of them could not analyze any information. Finally, the parasitic bug barely managed to capture a faint aura belonging to Jiuyuan, and finally

The task can continue to be executed.

However, the parasites captured the scent of many people, including the scent of ninja dogs.

Aburame Tetsumaru immediately thought of his classmate Inuzuka Takeshi. His ninja and ninja dog combination was the most suitable for tracking tasks, but Aburame's parasitic bug was a little worse.

There is no doubt that this mission is still a nasty competition mission, and there is another team of ninjas who are also performing this mission.

"It's annoying now. There are people from the Inuzuka family competing with us. It's not easy to deal with." Uchiha Kei frowned and said that he had no confidence in defeating the Inuzuka in this kind of task.

Aburame Tetsumaru interrupted him and said: "Perform the mission at our own pace, and don't think we will lose until the result is determined."

"Follow me."

Aburame Tetsumaru gave the order, and then started heading northeast.

Before dark, the Aburame team arrived close to the border of the Land of Fire. After walking a few dozen miles, they would enter the Land of Fields. However, the smell of the target became stronger here, and it seemed to linger many times.

In addition to Jiuyuan's scent, there are also the scents of the ninja dog, its owner, and more people. Are they hiding and seeking here?

Aburame Tetsumaru was a little strange, but that didn't stop him from leading his men to follow the freshest smell. He just had to chase the latest smell. This was the Land of Fire after all, and there weren't that many surprises.

[We can’t bump into the Jinchuuriki again.]

"Bah, bah, bah"

Planting flags on the battlefield, isn't this asking for death?

Gradually, the smell became stronger and stronger, and obvious traces of movement could be seen, so Uchiha Kai walked at the front of the team.

After more than half an hour, the three people tracked to a hillside. Aburame Tetsumaru suddenly stopped. Here he discovered a new situation.

The very obvious smell and movement traces went over the hillside towards a village below. Standing on the hillside, you can even see the movement tracks in the rice fields outside the village.

Uchiha Kei was a little anxious. The guy with excellent eyes saw the traces in the rice fields. At least a dozen ninjas ran along this road. The three of them were obviously lagging behind.

As a result, Aburame Tetsumaru stopped at the top of the uphill slope. He looked left and right, but he had no intention of going down.

Qi finally couldn't help but said: "Captain, if you don't hurry up, it will be too late."

Aburame Tetsumaru turned her head and stared at Uchiha Kei indifferently without saying a word, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Uchiha Kei's face.

This lightning-like explosion made Uchiha Kai completely unable to react, especially since the one-hand spread of the 1.7-meter Aburame Tetsumaru was much larger than the entire head of the 1.5-meter Uchiha Kai, as if a college student had caught a volleyball.

Not only was Uchiha Kei's head tightly grasped, but a surge of chakra also came from Aburame Tetsumaru's big hand, impacting his whole body like a tsunami, dispersing all the chakra in his body.

This is a completely violent imitation of the Hyuga Family Juju Boxing Technique, which uses a massive amount of chakra to overwhelm the enemy's chakra, leaving people in a predicament where their whole bodies are weak.

After confirming that Uchiha Kei's whole body was soft, Aburame Tetsumaru lifted him up with force, and then shook him from side to side, causing Kei's whole body to be tossed around like noodles.

"Pfft, goose goose goose goose~"

When Kurama Yun saw the always tugged, cold and gloomy Uchiha Kei being tossed around like a rag doll, he couldn't hold back and was frightened, and then he laughed like a big white goose.

"..."

"..."

The two male ninjas looked at the girl together, but she still kept laughing. Now it was better, and the serious atmosphere was gone.

As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

This classic famous sentence came to Aburame Tetsumaru's mind. Now he was really embarrassed, so he threw Uchiha Kei on the ground without saying a word and continued to observe the surrounding situation and traces.

By the time Uchiha Kai's body returned to normal and he got up from the ground, Aburame Tetsumaru had already checked the entire surrounding environment and confirmed the problem.

The problem is that the rebel Kugen is not alone. On both sides of the route he passed, there are traces of three teams of ninjas lurking. Aburame Tetsumaru was even sure that these lurkers were after more than a dozen ninjas chased Kugen. , stood where he stood for a while, then cleaned up the traces and retreated calmly.

[Fortunately I was a step too late, otherwise I wouldn’t have discovered these lurkers. 】

Aburame Tetsumaru narrowed his eyes. These ninjas were all top-notch, and their stealth skills were very good, with no flaws.

If they hadn't slightly destroyed the traces traced by the Konoha ninjas when they cleaned up the traces before retreating, Tetsumaru wouldn't have been able to find anyone lurking on both sides.

The mission has been upgraded.
