Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 68

Aburame Tetsumaru Jonin, one of the three heroes of the Aburame family, has good fame and strength, but that's all.

There were more than eighty jounin present, most of them were as confident as Aburame Tetsumaru. Why should he take on the task second only to Konoha White Fang?

That's outrageous.

Orochimaru continued to announce the mission in his hoarse voice, and the Jonin quietly exchanged their doubts with their eyes. They did not directly express their dissatisfaction, because no one present felt that they could take on this mission.

The defense area is 150 kilometers vertically and more than 300 kilometers horizontally. It is so big that it even exceeds the perception range of sensing ninjas. How can a team of four people block the enemy in this area? Can they monitor such

It's a problem on a large scale.

Aburame Tetsumaru's biggest gimmick is to protect his subordinates. He is well known for his cautiousness and prudence, just like his reputation for hating mobile missions.

No way……

Nara Shikaku frowned. Lord Orochimaru formulated such an outrageous mission because he was convinced that Aburame Tetsumaru could complete it, just like Lord White Fang could complete the equally exaggerated guerrilla mission.

Thinking this way, Orochimaru learned a year ago that Aburame Tetsumaru had strong specialties in defensive operations, so he transferred him from the country of rain, which focuses on mobile warfare, to the country of Kawa, which focuses on positional warfare.

But a year has passed and it is still unknown.

If this guess is correct, Mito Monohan's ability as a commander is so useless that there is nothing to say.

Forget it, Orochimaru-sama has made the decision now, let me see how strong the Aburame Jounin's defensive combat is.

The final combat meeting came to an end, and Orochimaru began to give his final emphasis.

"The key to this battle lies with you all. Only if your hard work seals the chance of victory, will I send out a large army to defeat Sunagakure in one fell swoop."

"So, please do everything."

"Drink!"

All jonin responded to the commander in unison. As for the chuunin and genin who came to observe, they could only bow their heads and salute, and were not qualified to respond to the commander.

After the meeting ended, everyone started to set off. The Kawa no Kuni camp was completely empty. The last few earth escape and fire escape ninjas left were responsible for destroying the buildings here to prevent them from falling into the hands of thieves.

This camp surrounded by mountains and forests focused on defensive site selection from the beginning. When Konoha was on the offensive, logistics and transportation had to take a detour, adding hundreds of miles to the journey.

Orochimaru decided to abandon this camp as soon as he arrived in Kawa no Kuni. Considering that it would be too expensive to build a new camp, he had to endure it.

…

Four people, Aburame Tetsumaru, formed a standard diamond formation, Inuzukao walked at the front as the vanguard, and Tetsumaru walked at the end to hold down the formation. Team 121 marched north at high speed and soon entered the territory of Kawa no Kuni.

The environment of Kawakuni is very different. After turning from plains to rugged mountains, the team cannot travel in the valleys. Once encountering an ambush, they cannot resist, nor can they choose to walk on the ridge. The risk of exposure is too high.

The team chooses to march on one side of the ridge. If there is an ambush, they can only attack from the front or upward, and the enemies on the other side of the ridge will not see them.

The formation of Team 121 is now transformed into a snake formation, with Inuzukao as the leading soldier, Tetsumaru Aburame taking the second position, and Hiro Uchiha taking the rear.

Since entering the country of Kawawa, there have been three more sword mantises in the team. They are responsible for carrying the baggage and liberating the fighting power of the four ninjas. In order to protect them, Aburame Tetsumaru placed the sword mantis in front of Uchiha Hiro.

Along the way, I kept seeing various signals taking off, some of which were 'I'm in position' released by Konoha ninjas, some were alarm signals released by Sunagakure ninjas, and I also saw two Swift Eagles taking off.

The atmosphere of the war has become very intense, and it must have attracted the attention of the entire ninja world. Presumably all capable countries will send spies to pay attention to this war.

Those who can release the Swift Eagle are all important figures among spies. As long as the Swift Eagle is not too far away, Aburame Tetsumaru will lead a team to chase it. Both times, they successfully captured enemy ninjas, belonging to Iwagakure and Kirigakure respectively.

.

Among them, Kirigakure's ninja is a jounin. His sword skills are very fierce, and his water escape is also very slippery. Especially due to the increase in the environment of Kawanogoku, his power is very powerful. During the battle, one sword mantis died, and the other two

The dogs were also injured to varying degrees. Inuzukao's dog was shaved off its head, but fortunately no one was injured.

Moreover, this Jonin was extremely smart and decisive, and he didn't know what he had discovered, but he suddenly ran away without any warning, leaving Aburame Tetsumaru in a state of shock.

However, the secret technique and the field barrier were not covered. Aburame Tetsumaru easily recognized the fog ninja from the water. He spent a lot of effort to catch up with the jounin. Four people and four insects surrounded him.

, and in the end, he was beaten to death in the water with one punch after another.

In order to avoid serious losses caused by the next encounter with powerful ninjas, Aburame Tetsumaru channeled more sword mantises to replace the injured sword mantises.

Interrupted by the constant outbreak of encounters, Team 121 rushed to a valley in the center of the designated mission area. It was already noon the next day.

Under the hot sunshine, one hundred and seventeen giant insects have gathered here. Tens of thousands of giant insects are busy around the giant insects, feeding and watering the giant insects, cleaning the debris on the insect shells, and digging.

Hiding cave.

The three genin were stunned when they saw this busy and noisy scene, but the worries and anxiety along the way disappeared.

The three of them watched the final meeting. Nara Yoshino first understood what kind of mission the captain had received. On the way, he spent a lot of time explaining to the other two little guys that they had to defend a piece that was hundreds of times larger than others.

Area.

Inuzukao's naivety, Uchiha Hiro's arrogance, and Nara Yoshino's intelligence all wilt in the face of the terrible mission. How can four people accomplish the mission of a hundred teams?

Seeing the bustling scene in the valley, they understood that it was no wonder that such a difficult task was assigned. The teacher actually had hundreds of sword mantises in his hands, which was comparable to the combat power of a hundred senior chunin.

Once you have the troops that can meet the requirements of the mission, it will be possible to complete the mission.

The mission was likely to be completed, but Nara Yoshino became even more nervous. He involuntarily started biting the nail of his thumb, and began to think about how to use the giant insect army to complete the mission as much as possible.

Aburame Tetsumaru then continued to direct the two mantises to put down their luggage. In the process, six mantises covered in camouflage came from a distance and joined the giant insect army.

Immediately, the giant insects began to provide treatment, cleaning, feeding and other services to these tired mantises.

Aburame Tetsumaru then used her psychic technique to channel four giant insect nests, releasing more bugs, including the mineral bugs headed by the burrowing worms.

Aburame Tetsumaru drove the insects out and started working to build a large underground camp.

Then he continuously used his psychic skills, channeling a total of thirty-six large and medium-sized insect nests in the continuous white smoke, and countless large insects slowly crawled out of the insect nests.

The bugs that climbed out also looked like they had just completed pupation. Their shells were white, light green, pink, translucent, and soft, and their crawling movements were trembling.

In the past year, Aburame Tetsumaru had always been on escort missions or bridge building missions, and there was no need for a large insect army. His students all thought that his fighting style was that of a taijutsu ninja.

There is also a time limit for bugs to stay dormant in the insect nest. If the time is too long, they will die in large numbers. Aburame Tetsumaru came up with this method of dormancy and pupation, sacrificing the ability to fight in exchange for the bugs.

The ultra-long standby time also increases the loading capacity of the insect nest by 30%.

He didn't know how long the specific standby time could be. It had been on standby for seven months from the beginning to now, and no bugs had declined or died during the test.

The next step is to freeze pupae. The insect nest is filled with frozen pupae, and pupae continue after channeling. In this way, the insect nest can reduce the number of life-sustaining devices, and the loading capacity can be increased by another 30%.

One step further is that the pupation is completely controllable. The insect nest is just a pupa, with only pupation slurry inside. The pupa can transform into tens of thousands of different types of large insects, or the pupa can transform into several giant insects as needed.

When the level of technology reaches that level, Aburame Tetsumaru will be the insect god on the surface, and you can roughly see the outline of the Creator.

Two hours later, all the bugs completed their emergence, took off under the command of Aburame Tetsumaru, and spread out to conduct terrain reconnaissance and make preliminary preparations for more infrastructure construction.

This defense mission should officially start in five days, and may eventually last for more than ten days. He needs a strong enough infrastructure, and he cannot monitor such a vast defense area with his bare hands.

On the way here, Aburame Tetsumaru calculated that a total of five brood nests would be built at the current location, as well as locations one hundred kilometers east and west, and seventy kilometers north and south.

With these five mother nests as the center, 29 more signal base stations with only signal transceiver functions can be built to transmit their own secret signals to the entire defense area. With the help of giant dragonflies for signal relay, it can achieve thousands of signals within a range of 300 kilometers.

The command of a swarm of tens of thousands of insects.

There were tens of millions of insect swarms. Aburame Tetsumaru couldn't help but look in the direction of Konoha Village. That batch of goods should be on the way.

…

Next, Aburame Tetsumaru led three students around, building signal base stations everywhere, while his shadow clone was responsible for building the mother nest. After running for three days and three nights, Team 121 finally returned to the center of the defense zone.

The three genin were first frightened by millions of insects, and then they were dragged to run around for construction work day and night. Their tired eyes were dull.

Well, Aburame Tetsumaru did it on purpose.

Aburame Tetsumaru showed his million giant insects on the battlefield for the first time. The scene that could drive people to death from trypophobia frightened the three children, and they were obviously afraid of insects.

This is not acceptable. For more than half a month or even a month, Team 121 will always be fighting surrounded by millions of bugs. All team members must get used to this fighting environment.

So there was a continuous operation that lasted for three days and three nights. During this period, tens of thousands of insects accompanied the operation. In the end, the three students were exhausted to the limit. They were so tired that they no longer cared about being afraid. Now even Nara Yoshino is lying on the bed of insects.

He was sleeping soundly in the pile.

Aburame Tetsumaru looked at the three students who were snoring during the competition, smiled and left.

The establishment of five nests and 29 signal base stations allowed him to monitor large-scale operations two hundred kilometers away. The transport team from Konoha Village was discovered by dragonflies soon after entering the defense zone, and then the nearby giant dragonflies transmitted the information through the base stations.

It goes to the western brood, then passes to the central brood, and is finally received by Aburame Tetsumaru.

Aburame Tetsumaru received the message from the brood and initiated communication. After many layers of transfers, he connected with the vision of the dragonfly and confirmed that it was the Aburame family's transport team. Only seven minutes had passed.

The straight-line distance between the transportation team and the core military station is one hundred and seventy kilometers. The Kawa no Kuni Road is very difficult to walk. The actual distance of the detour may be several times longer. It may take three days for them to walk over.

Knowing that it would only take three days for this transport team to set off from Konoha Village, Aburame Tetsumaru decided to greet it. Anyway, most of the transported supplies did not need to reach the core military station.

…

When it got dark, Aburame Tetsumaru rushed to the location of the transport team. The person in charge of the transport team was also a ninja from the Aburame family. The two confirmed each other's identities through communication with the bad bugs.

At this time, the transportation team had unloaded all the supplies, and people lit a bonfire and prepared dinner.

Eiji Aburame, the leader of the transport team, and Tetsumaru got together and occupied a bonfire alone. The two brothers communicated while eating.

"You're getting more and more arrogant now. I have to work for you even if you say hello."

"Ha, it's like I haven't helped you transport anything."

"Oh, that's a lot of stuff I just asked for. It's just a package. Here, this is a whole transport team with more than 200 truckloads of goods."

Aburame Eiji looked around cautiously, then approached and asked, "What kind of mission are you carrying out? You need so many things, and the Hokage actually ordered me to go there. It's too exaggerated."

Aburame Tetsumaru held the bowl with her left hand and pointed at the ground with her right hand.

"From here to the west, all the way to the border of the Kingdom of Wind," he turned his right hand over, spread his fingers first, and then clenched them tightly, "the range of 150 kilometers from north to south is my defensive operation.

district."

"I go……"

After being confused for a long time, Aburame Eiji finally suppressed a series of emotions: "Unbelievable, unbelievable, do you have a grudge against Hokage-sama, or have you offended Orochimaru-sama?"

After another silence for a while, Eiji became anxious: "You will die, do you know? Once Sunagakure discovers it, Kazekage will definitely bring thousands of Sand ninjas to rush over and besiege you. Why do you resist?"

"Just with those two hundred carts of goods."

"Two hundred carts of large insects, 1.4 million adults, 260,000 pupae, and 70 million eggs."

"Especially 70 million insect eggs, which can achieve a hatching rate of about 25% even in the wild. If half of them die during the development process, I can get at least 8 million large insects. In this way, I will have

Tens of millions of large ninja insects.”

"I have made an agreement with Lord Orochimaru. Once he is attacked by the Kazekage's main force, he only needs to hold on for five days before he can surround the Sunagakure ninja army and annihilate it on the spot."

"How many bugs do I have? Ten million."

"Ten million!!"

"Even if the Kazekage's technique can restrain me, and even if the Kazekage brings thousands of ninjas, it will still take five days to kill 10 million bugs."

Aburame Tetsumaru finished all her ideas and drank the soup in the bowl proudly, as if she was drinking wine.

There are still more than three years left until the age where he can drink, which means that after the war, Aburame Tetsumaru still can't drink in public, which is too depressing.
