Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 87 Do you want to be my student?

Summon the bugs, then issue an attack order and forget about it.

How could the Aburame Iron Pills in the past have such luxury? Even dead insects will be recycled. If time is enough, even the insect meat will not be wasted. Even if the insect meat contains prions, it can be recycled through repeated cooking and sodium hydroxide solution.

Disinfected.

But this batch of bugs is different, very different.

Of course the bugs were made from iron pills, but he submitted an application through Lord Orochimaru, and the village agreed to reimburse the money, iron materials, copper ingots, medicine, and insect food.

In this case, should you be frugal?

It's so inhumane.

This is a fight against the Kazekage and the three thousand elite ninja troops of Sunagakure led by him. This is a top-notch S-class mission. I, Aburame Tetsumaru, led a genin team to handle such a life-threatening mission. Who can say that with confidence?

You can do it yourself, but you still want me to save money for the village?

Anyone who dares to say this is helping Sunagakure Village and holding back Konoha, and his conscience is greatly damaged.

No, we need to check carefully to see if this person is a spy arranged by the Kazekage to come to Konoha!

I, Aburame Tetsumaru, have done a good job, the task is completed, and I have saved a lot of money for the village. I just made some inflated quotations, discounts, this and that, yes

Nothing to nitpick.

hey-hey.

Being able to spend other people's money while working is a great feeling.

Very cool.

After resting enough, Aburame Tetsumaru took turns taking Uchiha Hiroshi and Nara Yoshino out to harass Sunagakure. With his direct command, the organization of the insect swarm was greatly improved. The well-dense waves of attacks coupled with the intensive attack of the sword mantis made the insect swarm more organized.

Sunagakure, who had become accustomed to the mindless attacks of the insect swarm overnight, suffered a bit, and also announced that Aburame Tetsumaru was coming again.

So the angry Feng Ying quickly appeared and has been fighting on the front line.

The Kazekage refused to leave, which in turn made Aburame Tetsumaru nervous and unknowingly exerted too much force. In one afternoon, two million bugs were consumed, and more than a hundred Bomb Locusts were used.

.

Although the result of the battle was unsatisfactory due to the strong counterattack by the Kazekage, and even Aburame Tetsumaru was not sure how many kills he got, the tactical goal was achieved very well, and Sunagakure only advanced ten kilometers that day.

After nightfall, Aburame Tetsumaru recruited new insects with strong energy to replace the insects during the day, and continued to harass them. He directed the insects to make noise around Sunagakure, and launch a soft attack every half hour and forty minutes.

After several feint attacks, the sand ninja inevitably relaxed. After Aburame Tetsumaru found out through the secret technique and field barrier, he immediately launched a powerful attack. Not only did he use the sword mantis, but he also personally led Uchiha Hiro and Nara

Yoshino participated in the raid and broke through Sunagakure's line in one fell swoop.

Because he was worried that the Kazekage was in the camp, Aburame Tetsumaru did not dare to go too deep into the Sand Gakure position. After breaking through, he went around the edge and killed a dozen sand ninjas. He simply left hundreds of thousands of bugs behind to cause trouble and took the lead himself.

Uchiha Hiro retreated.

This time I just went back to the base to sleep, leaving all the rest of the time to the bugs. There was no need to launch a powerful attack in the second half of the night, the noise harassment was enough.

There was absolutely no way for Sunagakure and Kazekage to rest, because after this breakthrough, Aburame Tetsumaru released more than 5,000 mine bugs into Sunagakure's position. These ambush-type bugs dug caves in Sunagakure's position.

It goes into hibernation and is activated at a randomly set time according to Iron Pill.

At dawn, insects will be activated from time to time, and even Aburame Iron Pill can't worry about which area is safe and when.

The sand ninja was absolutely miserable in the second half of the night. He had to either endure completely random attacks, dig three feet into the ground to completely remove all the bugs, or change his camping place overnight.

No matter what we do, Sand Ninja will be very busy tonight.

It will also be very frustrating.

Therefore, Aburame Tetsumaru felt very refreshed and in a great mood.

Aburame Tetsumaru, who was in a happy mood, returned to the base and asked her three subordinates: "Do you want to be my student?"

Team 121 is a standard team leadership model. As a special jounin, Aburame Tetsumaru not only assumes the responsibility of the leader, but also the responsibility of guiding the training of three subordinates. The three subordinates can also call him "teacher".

However, this relationship is not a formal master-disciple relationship. The leading jounin has the responsibility of guiding and will teach combat experience and ninjutsu, but rarely teaches the true skills of the master.

The three genin could only call Aburame Tetsumaru "captain" in public. When the team was disbanded or someone was transferred, they would have a relatively close comrade-in-arms relationship when they met again.

Today, Aburame Tetsumaru's inquiry is to officially accept a disciple. As long as the three genin agree, they will have a master-disciple relationship from now on.

The four of them had been getting along for more than a year and already knew each other well, so Aburame Tetsumaru just made a simple inquiry. There was no need to come up with various conditions to seduce him like Jiraiya did to Naruto.

Upon hearing Aburame Tetsumaru's inquiry, the three of them had different reactions.

Nara Yoshino knelt down without hesitation and said, "Teacher."

He is a lonely pig deer butterfly. Two of his childhood sweetheart teammates were killed in the war, leaving him with a bleak future. He is also very smart and rational, and he is very clear about his situation. He has already thought about becoming a disciple, so there is nothing wrong with him.

hesitantly.

Inuzukao was stunned for a moment before he understood what had happened. He grinned happily, and then simply knelt down to worship.

But Hiro Uchiha hesitated a little.

First of all, Uchiha's pride and face are at play. Traditionally, Uchiha are apprenticed to jounin in the clan. The few foreign teachers they are apprenticed to are either the Hokage himself or the disciples of the Hokage. This can prevent the clan from gossiping.

He had become a ninja from the Aburame clan as his teacher today. There would definitely be various gossips in the clan, and there would even be radical Uchiha targeting him, blaming him for losing Uchiha's face.

However, the rebellious heart of a young man defeated unnecessary pride. I am lucky to have a powerful ninja like Mr. Tetsumaru as my teacher. What does the clan's idiotic tradition mean to me?

But another reason had been bothering him for two days, so he simply took this opportunity to ask: "Teacher, why did you let the three sand ninjas go?"

Aburame Tetsumaru was stunned for a moment, then laughed and asked, "Do you think I am right to do this?"

Then he looked at the other two disciples who had already become disciples. Neither of them showed any surprise, which meant that they both discovered the incident at that time, so they asked: "What do you two think?"

Inuzukao immediately replied: "What the teacher did was right."

"Oh why?"

"have no idea."

This confident and decisive answer made Aburame Tetsumaru dumbfounded, but he felt warm in his heart. Inuzukao, this silly boy, really trusted him.

"Yoshino, what do you think?"

Nara Yoshi's ambition already had the answer, and he answered without any hesitation: "There is no need for senseless killing."

"Well, that's right." Aburame Tetsumaru nodded. He looked at Uchiha Hiro and asked, "Hiro, do you have anything to add?"

Uchiha Hiro thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't think this is a meaningless killing. They are all ninjas, people suitable for us to fight."

"Okay, let me tell you what I think."

Aburame Tetsumaru asked the three students to sit down together, and then said: "First of all, as Yoshino said, I think this is unnecessary killing."

"We are the Konoha ninjas of the Land of Fire. It is our obligation to kill after we step onto the battlefield. If we do not kill the enemy, the enemy will kill ourselves, our teammates, and our companions. So this is a life and death battle, we cannot

If you hesitate, there is no need to worry.”

"However, I agree that killing should not be done without a bottom line, not for others, but for yourself."

"Some people say that ninjas are just tools, which is nonsense." Tetsumaru Aburame's voice became louder, and he said loudly: "Ninjas are people first, and people have hearts: love, empathy, and fighting.

, you have to have whatever you want.”

"Without a heart, we can't feel all the beauty in the world, so why would we have ideals? Without ideals and no yearning for a better life, why do we ninjas go to the battlefield and fight our lives?"

"For glory? For money? No! It's for everyone who protects Konoha, and it's because we feel the beauty of Konoha. If not for this beautiful ideal, why did the First Generation put down his hatred and build the village? Why did he work so hard to quell the Warring States Rebellion?"

[Emma, ​​I can say such disgusting words smoothly now. The key is that I don’t feel sick yet.]

"A heart that can feel beautiful things is precious, but also very fragile. It is most easily contaminated by killing, so the use of force must not break the bottom line."

"There are three bottom lines that I recognize: not to rob and massacre civilians, not to carry out senseless killings, and not to indulge your own desires."

Uchiha Hiro asked: "I understand not to rob and massacre civilians and not to indulge one's own desires, but what is meaningful killing?"

"Killing the enemy can protect the interests of Konoha Village and the Country of Fire, and can reduce the casualties of Konoha ninjas. This kind of killing is necessary and necessary."

"But if those three sand ninjas are not killed, they may return to the battlefield and become our enemies in the future. Wouldn't they also threaten the lives of Konoha ninjas?"

Aburame Tetsumaru was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "This is a matter of degree."

"A matter of degree?"

"Yes, from the perspective of what you just said, I admit that the logic is correct, but it is too easy to amplify uncontrollably based on this logic."

"Farmers in the Kingdom of Wind will cultivate the land, and the food they produce will be eaten by the sand ninjas. When the sand ninjas are full, they will have the strength to fight us, so we want to kill the farmers?"

"Civilians will have children, and the children may become sand ninjas, so we need to kill the civilians?"

"This..., this is different."

"Don't the farmers and civilians of the Kingdom of Wind support the Sand Ninjas?"

"...Yes, but, but they are different from the genin of the sand ninja!"

"You think civilians and farmers should not be killed, and I think those who have lost their combat effectiveness should not be killed. In fact, they may all be a threat to us Konoha ninjas, but the possibility of the threat and the intensity of the threat are different. You see, this is actually

It’s just a matter of degree.”

"Killing the sand ninjas who directly threaten us is to protect your own life. Not killing the sand ninjas who are not a direct threat to us is to protect your heart from being lost in the killing."

"I still think your bottom line is too high. Letting them go is not good for other Konoha ninjas."

"Hahahaha, I don't have much confidence in myself, so I chose a relatively high standard. Everyone can have their own standards. As long as they can stick to their own bottom line, there will be no problem."

In fact, Aburame Tetsumaru's calculations in his heart could not be so upright. There was a reason why he couldn't let the three sand ninja genin go. Nonsense, the basic concept of right and wrong that had been cultivated for forty years could not be destroyed so easily.

In his previous life, Xiaoli had done extremely unconscionable and cruel things. When the fellow villagers caught Xiaoli's kid fighting with a gun, in the end, instead of killing him, they adopted him.

When he first saw this report, although he was filled with resentment and resentment, he did not think that the fellow villagers had done anything wrong because the war was about to end.

But the good intentions are actually only part of the reason. The key is that the environment is different. If Tetsumaru Aburame was born in Kirigakure Village, he would have no choice but to take action.

Why?

Because the general environment of Konoha Village is changing towards a kind stance, the future situation can be clearly seen.

No matter what the Sandaime Hokage does, as a politician he always firmly promotes the spirit of fire, which shows that many people accept this concept, otherwise they would not persist until his death.

And in the end, the supporters of this idea were almost everyone in Konoha, at least there were no public opponents.

The Sannin met three children with potential in the Land of Rain. Orochimaru wanted to kill them, not because he thought the three children were threats, but because he felt that the orphans were waiting to die in pain in the war-torn land.

It would be better to just die.

After Jiraiya stopped them, he stayed in the Land of Rain to protect them and teach them ninjutsu. Didn't the three ninjas think that they might cultivate three powerful enemies in the future?

But including Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who really stopped Jiraiya?

The key is that more than twenty years later, the three children really became enemies of Konoha. Nagato razed the entire Konoha village to the ground. Did anyone in Konoha village complain about Jiraiya?

No.

As a good old man, Jiraiya taught the enemies of Konoha Village, and although he wandered around regardless of the village, he was the undisputed boss of Konoha Village and the first candidate for Hokage that the Hokage assistants thought of.

There are also many reverse examples.

After the cold and wise Orochimaru was hidden, he still stuck to his scientific research position and continued to make great contributions to Konoha. Did he get the reward in the end?

No, Orochimaru eventually became a rebel ninja.

The Uchiha clan has been fighting on the front line of the war for Konoha since before the village was founded. Countless clan members have contributed to the establishment and growth of Konoha Village. Their contributions are too numerous to count. Shouldn't there be a Hokage?

No, the Uchiha were eventually wiped out.

Excluding the small actions of the Third Hokage and the Nabe Kage, it is actually because the urban management brigade strictly enforces the law in their work, and they are heartbroken if they are guided by someone who is caring.

Judging from the future situation, bonds and kindness are the political correctness of Konoha Village, and will soon become an irresistible trend. Before he is ready to leave Konoha, Aburame Tetsumaru does not intend to go against the trend.

On the contrary, he will also create a kind-hearted, soft-hearted and full of fetters.

Aburame Tetsumaru pays special attention to his subordinates, and would not hesitate to face the Kazekage alone in order to protect his disciples. Who dares to say that he has no bonds?

It was indeed wrong to occasionally let go of a few genin who were no longer a threat, but this small mistake just proved that Aburame Tetsumaru was kind-hearted.

Most people would think that Aburame Tetsumaru is not a cold profit animal, but a person worth getting to know.

Extraordinary people will find such iron pills reassuring, especially if they are responsible for small mistakes that may or may not be punished, and they are easier to handle.

The most important thing is that Hokage-sama will feel relieved.

A strategic-level ninja who can fight against an army of thousands of people has neither a master-student relationship nor a kinship relationship with Naruto, which is terrible. But this ninja has a kind heart, a soft personality, and has made mistakes, which is really great.

With the Hokage's approval, Aburame Tetsumaru's life will be much easier after the war.

Uchiha Hiro thought for a long time, and he didn't know what he thought of. Anyway, he figured it out, knelt down, bowed to Aburame Tetsumaru, and said, "Aburame-sensei, please take good care of me in the future."

"Okay, from now on, you three will be my disciples." After finishing speaking, Aburame Tetsumaru pulled the three disciples up.

Ninja apprenticeship is very serious, but the ceremony is very simple: one bow and it's done.
