Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 57 The nickname "Insect Demon" is really unpleasant.

A ninja wearing a Iwagakure forehead protector and a jounin armor carefully observed the movements around him. After finding no problems, he sent out a coded signal.

Then the three Iwagakure ninjas came out of their hiding positions, gathered with the observers, and then arranged themselves in a diamond shape and started running.

Four ninjas were jumping forward in the woods. Suddenly, the tree trunk where the last ninja in the formation was standing exploded. In an instant, the three ninjas in front disappeared and each of them hid.

After the loud noise, the white smoke from the explosion slowly floated, and the bombed ninja fell to the bottom of the tree. All kinds of insects in the woods exploded and flew up, densely packed.

After a few seconds, the smoke from the explosion dissipated, and various insects began to quiet down, landing on branches and leaves.

The injured Iwagakure ninja trembled all over, and then moaned softly, gradually turning into loud screams, completely unlike a ninja.

The leading Iwa ninjounin felt his heart skip a beat, feeling as if someone had heard of this situation.

Ambush, explosion, white smoke, unbearable screams, where have I heard this information? What are the key points?

At this time, a palm-sized beetle landed on the tree trunk in front of Iwa Ninja. After retracting its wings, the beetle turned its tentacles, then jumped at an incredible speed, and instantly hit his nose.

The speed of the beetle was so fast that Iwa Ninja felt as if he had been punched hard. His nose was bleeding, his eyes were bulging, and his head was bent back at 90 degrees, almost breaking his neck.

"Bug!!" At the same time as he shouted out the key information, Iwa Ninja fell backwards uncontrollably and fell to the ground.

"team leader!"

When the two younger Iwa Ninja saw their captain being knocked down, they couldn't help but panic. One took out a kunai and the other made a seal directly.

Earth Release·Split Earth and Turn Palm

After the Iwa Ninja completed the seal, he placed his palms on the ground. The earth shook and the trees tilted.

When the exact location of the enemy is not discovered, using large-scale disruptive ninjutsu to disrupt the enemy is a standard tactical choice in the textbook.

However, tactics are only about victory and not about reason. The knowledge in textbooks is not necessarily correct when applied in actual combat. The key depends on who the enemy is.

"Idiot, get out of the way."

Captain Iwa Ninja turned over and knelt on one leg. He covered his bleeding nose with his left hand and pulled out the short sword from his waist with his right hand. He had already confirmed which ninja was ambushing him. When he saw his subordinates performing ninjutsu, he couldn't help but remind him.

.

On the crooked trunk of the big tree, pieces of bark were bounced off, revealing large and small tree holes hidden underneath.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom boom, three different sounds sounded at the same time, locusts, tiger-spotted wasps, bloody turtles, and three kinds of psychic insects ejected from the tree hole.

There were at least 400 tree holes exposed around the three rock ninjas. In less than two seconds, five or six bugs popped out of each tree hole. A total of two thousand psychic bugs spread their wings and accelerated, drawing various arcs.

Rush towards your goal.

There were too many bugs, they all flew in arcs, and they could calibrate their targets by themselves. Captain Iwa Ninja knew that he couldn't completely avoid them.

The slowest of the three psychic bugs, the blood turtle, is the most dangerous. Once it is hit, it loses its combat effectiveness because the poisonous effect of this bug is to dissolve muscles.

The venom of the blood turtle does not pursue lethality. Its venom does not enter the blood system, but directly dissolves the cell wall and penetrates between cells. This makes it difficult to kill, but no matter how effective the antidote is, it is difficult to use. In the end,

The best way is to cut the flesh with a knife.

Captain Iwa Ninja used the teleportation technique and kicked two of his subordinates to the side of the first injured team member, then he also ducked over and quickly formed a seal.

Earth Escape·Tu Lao Tang Wu

The soil rose up from both sides and quickly closed up, forming a closed space to protect the four Iwa Ninjas.

Two thousand insects continued to attack the semicircular rock shell, and the crashing sound like a rainstorm lasted for a full ten seconds. The captain of the rock ninja had to put his hands against the inside of the rock wall and input chakra to maintain the stability of the technique.

After the collision subsided, the three young Iwa Ninja breathed a sigh of relief, but the Iwa Ninja Captain became more and more nervous.

"Quick, you two come too."

Obedience, cooperation and tenacity are the greatest strengths of Iwa Ninja. The two young Iwa Ninjas who were not injured immediately stood up, back to back with the captain, put their hands against the rock wall and input chakra.

After a few seconds, the rustling sound of countless insects crawling became louder and louder, and turned into a roaring vibration.

The three rock ninjas felt that countless insects were gnawing at the outer shell of the dungeon, and the thickness of the rock wall was rapidly thinning.

The Iwa Ninja did not dare to neglect, and increased the input of chakra to restore the thickness of the rock wall, and the two sides began to stalemate.

The three Iwa Ninja persisted until the first injured Iwa Ninja regained his composure and began to input chakra. The insects felt that the gnawing speed could not keep up with the speed of recovery, and then retreated like an ebbing tide.

"You three can stop and get ready, I'm going to lift the dungeon."

Captain Iwa Ninja confirmed again that the bug had left and released the ninjutsu.

As the earth cover collapsed, four rock ninjas were exposed.

The four nervous ninjas stood in a swastika formation with one corner missing. Everyone was holding their handprints, and the surroundings were quiet.

It's extremely quiet, but extremely crowded. On the ground and on the crooked tree trunks, layers of poisonous needle beetles are neatly arranged, and the order demonstrates power.

The carapace of the beetles, which reflects the metallic luster, opens row by row from left to right. The ultimate order naturally has the ultimate beauty, and it is a beauty with power.

It is difficult for human beings to resist the beauty of order. The four rock ninjas couldn't help but follow the changing insect formation. While they were distracted, four centipedes successfully approached the four people's feet.

When Captain Iwa Ninja dismantled the dungeon, he didn't notice that the shell of the rock wall was crawling with camouflage insects.

Camouflage bugs have six legs and four appendages. They use their appendages to grab leaves, clods of soil and other debris. When the rock wall collapses, they naturally fall off and spread a layer on the ground.

They lifted up the leaves and clods they caught to cover themselves, and at the same time connected with each other to build a passable secret passage.

Centipede used these passages to get close to the enemy, and then attacked violently, subduing three rock ninjas in one fell swoop. Only the captain of the rock ninja reacted in time and chopped the centipede into two pieces.

Captain Iwa Ninja used the Substitute Technique, got rid of the attack and jumped out of the insect swarm, and then continued to form seals to perform Earth Escape.

Earth Escape·Rock Pillar

Huge rock pillars rose from the ground. Captain Iwa Ninja appeared at the top of the rock pillars, avoiding most of the insects. He was already panting after continuously performing ninjutsu.

His three subordinates fell to the ground, gritting their teeth and enduring, while their muscles spasmed uncontrollably.

Captain Iwa Ninja noticed that the centipede attacked the hands or feet of his subordinates, and connected them head to tail, tightening them, and the body of the insect sunk deeply into the skin.

"Xing Chong, is this the insect demon telling me that he doesn't want to kill anyone?"

He knew what kind of bug it was, the damn Konoha bug demon. The venom injected by his torture bug would cause severe muscle spasms and pain.

Captain Iwa Ninja looked hesitant, and then he noticed the movement not far away. More than thirty huge colorful moths took off in an uncertain manner, occupying the upper hand.

Thirty highly poisonous colorful moths were dispatched. There is no way to continue fighting at this scale. The poisonous powder spread by such colorful moths is too large. The poisonous powder will not cause death, but it will seriously weaken the combat effectiveness. Even I can only

Leave your subordinates behind and run away immediately to save your life.

Captain Iwa Ninja was very confident and ran out, but his subordinates were dead, but there was one guy in the middle who couldn't die here, otherwise he, a Jonin, wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

"What bad luck."

The Iwa ninja reluctantly took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag and raised it high.

A huge dragonfly flew out from behind the colorful moths, flew over silently, and snatched the scroll away.

Then the colorful moths landed on the tree crown and disappeared. Three centipedes let go of their captives. The large swarm of beetles and ants retreated like the tide, and thousands of insects quickly disappeared from sight.

Only insect corpses were left on the ground.

A few minutes later, the team of rock ninjas left dejectedly. Their expressions were a mixture of frustration at the failure of the mission and secret joy at surviving.

Captain Iwa Ninja also had mixed emotions. It was really unlucky that the mission conflicted with the Konoha insect demon, but when he encountered the conflict with the insect demon, it happened that the other party was performing a mission that did not require killing, and he was very lucky.

If he had been replaced by other Konoha ninjas of equal combat power, his team would most likely be wiped out, and even his family would be retaliated against.

…

After walking out of the woods, the Iwa Ninja team relaxed a little, and the three young subordinates were frustrated with their incompetence.

"Captain Che Shiren, you should abandon the three of us and break out with the intelligence."

"Yes, Captain Che, it's all our fault for being too weak."

"Sorry, the mission to implicate the captain failed."

"..."

After listening to the messy apologies from his subordinates, Iwa Ninja felt much better and shook his head.

"It can't be done. Since I was ambushed by the 'Konoha Insect Demon', even I can't possibly break through."

The three young Iwa ninjas fell silent. The shadow caused by the ambush was really not small. The Cadet Team was suppressed from beginning to end, and the captain, who was a Jonin, was helpless.

From the time the branch exploded to the captain's decision to give up, the battle only lasted two minutes, and most of the time the Iwa ninja was hiding in the dungeon to avoid attacks.

The three young Iwa ninjas are also known as geniuses. They formed a team independently just after graduation. They were led by the youngest jounin in Iwagakure Village and carried out several difficult tasks in succession.

With outstanding records and rich results, they are expected to be promoted to Chuunin two months after graduation based on their records, which naturally increases the arrogance of the three young ninjas.

Then, just now, all the pride was completely shattered.

"Leech, Firelight, Dashi, don't be discouraged." The dead man spoke quickly, "This is Konoha's 'Broken Hand Insect Demon'. How many ninjas in Iwagakure Village, Sunagakure Village and Amegakure Village died from his insect swarm?

There are too many ninjas who had to retire after breaking their arms, so we are lucky to be able to retreat with all our hair and tail."

Oishi raised his head and asked the ninja: "I have heard of the 'Konoha Insect Demon', but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. Captain, do you know his information?"

"Well, I do know a little bit." The dead man gritted his teeth, "After all, Captain Ikeda died at his hands."

"The Insect Demon has become famous in the past two years. His main activities are on the battlefield in the Kingdom of Rain. He controls an extremely large number of psychic insects to fight, and wherever he goes, there is a sea of ​​insects running rampant."

"When the insect demon fights, there are always overwhelming psychic insects. It is said that psychic insects can even cover the land with a radius of more than ten kilometers. It is really incredible."

"This man's fighting style is extremely cautious. He would rather let the enemy go than show his face. So far, no one in our Iwagakure, Amegakure and Sandgakure villages has seen him. We don't even know who the insect demon is.

, it is still a tactical team. After all, there are too many psychic insect armies, and the range of control is unbelievably large. It would be too exaggerated to be commanded by one person."

"The only thing that can be determined is that the insect demon comes from the Aburame family, because there are a small amount of parasitic insects mixed in the psychic insects. Other than that, the only information available is about the thirty-nine species of psychic insects that have been displayed."

"This information is still not accurate because his bugs are always changing."

"This bastard rarely kills people in the past year. Instead, he deliberately avoids killing people and breaks the enemy's hands and feet to become cripples. Twenty-four of the thirty-nine species of psychic insects are poisonous, but very few are fatal.

, the vast majority are incapacitating and disabling biotoxins.”

"The centipede that just wrapped around the arms of the three of you is the torture insect that the insect demon often uses to cut off people's hands and feet. If we continue to fight, the centipede will explode on its own, and the explosion power is just enough to break your arms."

"The body fluids of the centipede after the explosion will corrode the wound, making it impossible to reattach the severed limb."

"I don't know the situation in Amegakure and Sunagakure villages, but in our Iwagakure village, four jounin retired due to broken hands this year, and at least thirty chuunin and more than two hundred genin also retired for the same reason."

"So many." The three young chuunin were all surprised. This kind of achievement was too exaggerated.

In fact, the performance of the Insect Demon in Yanyin Village is only average.

Looking forward, there was once Madara Uchiha who ravaged Iwagakure Village by himself, beating the first Tsuchikage to the point where he bowed his head and gave in.

Looking back, the current Sandaime Raikage of Kumogakure Village blocked the 10,000 troops of Iwagakure Village and fought wildly for three days and three nights. The exact number of casualties was not disclosed.

There will be something even more ruthless later. A certain yellow-haired boy who is about to graduate from the Konoha Ninja School, a few years later, defeated fifty ninjas from Iwagakure in one second.

In that battle, one-tenth of Iwagakure's jounin were killed by him, and the ninja heritage of Iwagakure Village was abruptly wiped out for him. The Third Tsuchikage Onoki couldn't even find a successor.

Later, when the Five Kage Conference was held, Onoki could only rub his old waist and quarrel with the three Fifth Generations, all of whom had grandchildren. It was miserable.

The demon leech asked: "With such an exaggerated record, didn't Lord Tsuchikage arrange to eliminate the insect demons?"

"Why not? Of course there is, more than once."

"The Kingdom of Rain is only 600 to 700 kilometers wide. The insect demon can control almost 1% of the battlefield once it is launched. No one can accept this."

"The most recent attack on insect demons in our Iwagakure Village was led by Jonin Ikeda. He was the team leader during my genin and chunin days, a seasoned senior jounin."

"Using a supply reserve as bait, four jounin led by Captain Ikeda, two jounin from Amegakure Village, and eighteen elite chuunin launched an ambush."

"As a result, the ambush turned into a siege. Six jounin were killed and five were maimed. All chuunin were disabled. The result was only more than 600,000 psychic insect corpses. The surviving ninjas never saw the insect demon at all."

"The only Jonin who died in the battle was Captain Ikeda. Perhaps it was because he was too strong and caught the insect demon's tail that he died in the battle."

"In short, this is a very dangerous enemy, and you are not his opponent yet."

"But don't be discouraged. Each of you is a genius. Soon you will be able to catch up with me in strength, and one day you will be able to master the power to kill the insect demon. Captain Ikeda's hatred, and the resentment of so many senior cripples, all need you.

Come and take responsibility."

"We understand, Captain."

"Then let's speed up and bring back the information about the insect demon."

"yes."
