Create a swarm technology tree in Konoha

The insect swarm retreated in all directions, but did not go very far. When they were out of sight, they dug holes and hid on the spot. Only a dozen reconnaissance dragonflies were left to scout around, three of which were specifically responsible for monitoring the retreat of the Iwa Ninja team.

It wasn't until the Iwa Ninja team was far away that the insect swarm emerged from the ground. This time, all the insects concentrated on one location.

A swarm of insects gathered in a mediocre clearing. The ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a dozen huge insect nests.

It turns out that this open space is actually a depression, with tens of thousands of camouflaged insects linking their limbs and holding up rocks, soil, fallen leaves, and weeds, pretending to be a flat ground and covering up the insect nest.

All the insects entered the insect nest, and Aburame Tetsumaru lifted the psychic spell and sent the insect nest back to the Aburame tribe.

After everything was packed up, Aburame Tetsumaru called his subordinates, and the four of them returned to the Konoha camp together.

Along the way, the two newly added genin kept complaining to the captain that they were not allowed to fight and had no chance to show their talents.

Aburame Tetsumaru hurried on with an expressionless expression, while Saburo Yukimura, the only old subordinate in the team, smiled and said nothing. He gloated as he watched the two juniors commit suicide.

The captain is about to be promoted to special jounin, and Yukimura himself is also going to be promoted to chuunin. When they return to the camp, the Aburame team will be disbanded, and the two newcomers will have no time to enjoy the treatment of the "chuunin cradle team".

Having said that, if there is still time, how can we get two Sanmo genin to join the Aburame team.

The so-called three no genin are the blank slate ninjas who graduate from the ninja school: no ninja number, no guidance captain, no ninjutsu above D level, commonly known as cannon fodder.

Two years ago, Aburame Tetsumaru was promoted to chunin and left the Ueno team to lead a brand new team as captain. It is said that he achieved many outstanding results and his subordinates were promoted one after another. (In fact, none of them were promoted. Uchiha Kei was a chuunin from the beginning, and Kurama Yun retired before he could be promoted, but both of them left without incident. This is the original version of the legend)

To everyone's surprise, Aburame Tetsumaru demonstrated a completely different battle mode in her personal mission. The insect array that was once sparsely constructed with a few thousand insects was upgraded to a swarm of hundreds of thousands of insects. It was like a sea of ​​​​insects drowning the enemy. The emphasis is on non-contact combat.

With this method of warfare that was completely different from that of ninjas but more suitable for war, Aburame Tetsumaru not only completed all the tasks, but also continuously created exaggerated achievements.

Top ninjas such as Hanzo, Lao Zi, and Qingyan took action one after another, but no matter how they chased him, they couldn't stop him. At most, they beat him and fled in panic, and no one could even see his true body.

But the inexplicable Aburame Tetsumaru gradually fell into silence. His later fame was actually because none of his subordinates were killed or disabled in battle, and all those who left were successfully promoted to chuunin.

The source is the graduation season of Konoha in 2012. Orochimaru gave Aburame Tetsumaru three graduate genin, all of whom were Sanmu ninjas, including Saburo Yukimura.

Aburame Tetsumaru is a person with a teacher's ethics. He is obviously a team leader, but he assumes the responsibility of guiding the team leader. He carefully guides the training of his three subordinates and even instructs them to exchange suitable ninjutsu.

Two of the genin were more talented, but their minds were confused. After being praised for a few words after their strength improved, they became dizzy. In order to be promoted to chuunin earlier, they took the initiative to leave the Aburame team.

Saburo Yukimura was born into a family of small businessmen and had a lot of experience. He knew that he was lucky, so he resolutely followed Aburame Tetsumaru and even spent money to keep his position. He would rather not be promoted than leave the Aburame team.

Because he knew that once he left the Aburame team, he would be easily killed by the enemy, just like the first two teammates, although they were promoted to chunin, they disappeared in Konoha's previous defeats.

It has never been smooth sailing for Konoha in the Country of Rain. As the battlefield in the Country of Rain continues to change, Konoha has experienced both high moments and tragic defeats.

After the end of the Toxic Wasteland time, Konoha completed the reorganization of power. Orochimaru used multi-faceted containment tactics to great effect, leaving Sansho Hanzo exhausted, but still unable to prevent Amegakure Village from being directly attacked.

After the Great War in the Bear Country and the Great Retreat from the Wasteland of the Rain Country, the weak Sunagakure Village was left powerless and could only watch Konoha show its power. The Amegakure Village was on the verge of collapse and had to join forces more closely with the Iwagakure Village.

Konoha has the upper hand in the Rain Country.

But then Shimura Danzo made a mistake again. After being completely ignored, he fought hard to regain his power and sent out the root ninja to attack in all directions, but he only got many achievements that were not worthy of recognition.

The root's sexy moves aroused fierce hatred, causing Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Amegakure to join forces.

The most magical scene of the Second Ninja World War appeared. Iwagakure and Sunagakure Village were fighting in the Bear Country, but they fought together in the Rain Country, and Iwagakure even provided supplies to Sunagakure Village.

Tsuchikage Onoki knew very well that some of these supplies must flow into the Bear Country and then become resources to fight against the Iwagakure. Iwagakure Village's supply to Sunagakure Village is still endless.

All because of Konoha's overpowering. In order to resist Konoha, the two countries had no choice but to ignore their past grievances. Oh no, it should be that the two countries ignored their left hands and locked hands with each other to fight against the evil Fire Empire. ism.

The complexity of the contradictions and interests between the big powers is so vividly displayed that an old guy from the Warring States Period would never be able to understand it, and it would even make him have a shattered outlook on life and a mental breakdown.

After the three villages united, their power in the Land of Rain far exceeded that of Konoha. Orochimaru did not hesitate to decide to give up the land to protect the ninjas, and organized a retreat with Jiraiya and Tsunade.

During the retreat, the Sannin fought Hanzo again, setting a record for their third defeat, but they managed to hold Hanzo back for a whole day. About four thousand ninjas retreated to the Land of Fire intact to regroup.

Later statistics found that more than 2,600 Konoha ninjas were killed, missing or captured, all because Danzo firmly opposed retreat. After all, he is a genuine commander and has influenced many ninjas. These ninjas believed Danzo's words that Konoha would win, and followed him to launch a counterattack against the Iwagakure, but were besieged by the Iwagakure and Sunagakure villages, and were eventually annihilated.

Danzo himself was beaten by Jinchūriki Lao Murasaki and Sand Hidden Village Chiyo throughout the whole process. Unfortunately, he was hit by Lao Purple's Meltdown and lost one eye.

But Shinobi's greatest skill is his shamelessness. He finally managed to escape using the sacrifices of his subordinates. As for the oath that he would rather die in battle than retreat, who said that? Anyway, it’s not me, Danzo, who said that.

But more than two thousand Konoha ninja followed you, and then you came back alone. Such a huge loss could not be covered up. Danzo was dismissed for the second time, and Orochimaru was appointed as the acting commander.

The Three Kingdoms Alliance of Wind, Earth and Rain was formed due to the strength of the Fire Country. Everyone knew that this alliance was not reliable, but the speed of Ohnoki and Hanzo's decision was beyond the Sand Ninja's expectations.

On the afternoon when Konoha withdrew from the Country of Rain, the Iwa Ninja and the Rain Ninja attacked the Sand Ninja. The Sunagakure Village was unable to resist and was forced to withdraw from the Country of Rain.

The Sand Ninja's defeat was so fast that the Iwa Ninja not only snatched back a large batch of aid supplies, but even received the last batch of supplies to aid the Sand Ninja at the Sand Ninja's station.

That day, the Iwa Ninja responsible for delivering supplies and the Iwa Ninja responsible for cleaning the battlefield looked at each other, not knowing what to do at all.

Iwa Ninja of the Land of Rain: Can these supplies be considered seized?

Local Iwa Ninja: Let’s transport the things back. Is the mission completed?

After repelling two major countries in succession, Iwa Ninja was satisfied and increased his troops massively, preparing to cooperate with the main force of the Bear Country to attack from both sides and completely defeat the Wind Country.

But an accident happened, and several Iwa Ninja massacres of villages and cities occurred in succession. The Iwa Ninjas were tyrannical in the Land of Rain by virtue of their status as allies, but the massacre should not be done anyway, and the Rain Ninjas could not tolerate it in any case.

Although these massacres were inexplicable, and although there might be a conspiracy, the Rain and Earth Alliance collapsed, and the two countries' ninjas fought.

Hanzo got so excited on the spot that he even drove the Iwa Ninja out of the Rain Country. The two countries, Wind and Fire, watched the excitement and had a great time. They all agreed that Hanzo deserved the title of "demigod".

Since then, the ninja armies of the four countries have come and gone in the Land of Rain, and no one can continue to have the upper hand. The tug-of-war continues to this day.

In the past two years, Yukimura, the only veteran member of the Aburame team, was fortunate enough to meet more than a dozen new teammates, most of whom came from famous ninja families such as Gekko, Shiranui, Kurama, and Inuzuka.

These teammates had outstanding talents and profound knowledge. Under the protection of Aburame Tetsumaru, they grew up rapidly. After two or three months, they were promoted to chuunin and left to form their own team.

Aburame Tetsumaru's reputation is growing, and there are rumors spreading that Shimura, Aburame, Inokacho, and even big families like Hinata, Uchiha, and even the Hokage family are beginning to compete for a spot in Aburame's team.

This is not nonsense. Every ninja grows up from weak to strong. Especially the first few months on the battlefield are the most vulnerable, and the death rate is extremely high.

A direct descendant of a rich family, with high talent and education level, and abundant ninjutsu education resources, it is impossible to be born with rich experience. It is always necessary to have experience on the battlefield, to see killing and blood, and to personally experience the danger of life before you can grow up.

It was very rare for someone like Aburame Tetsumaru to lead the team on the battlefield for three years without any casualties among his genin subordinates.

Especially the battlefield like the Kingdom of Rain, where the four kingdoms are fighting, is so chaotic that even someone as powerful as Orochimaru misses, and his beloved disciple dies inexplicably.

Who would have thought that Senju Rouki, the majestic grandson of the First Hokage, would be killed by a detonating talisman trap, and his internal organs would even disappear.

It can only be said that once caught in the political whirlpool, the crisis for the children of the rich family is far greater than that of ordinary people. It is never just enemy ninjas who want their lives. The daggers coming from the darkness inside Konoha Village are even more deadly.

Therefore, Aburame Tetsumaru, a chunin captain who protected his subordinates 100%, was particularly popular. Many people hoped that he would be promoted to Jonin as soon as possible, and then officially lead the newcomers as the leading Jonin.

But someone blocked Aburame Tetsumaru's promotion, but it was unreasonable for a chuunin with seven jounin kill records, so the Hokage specially set up a new class: special jounin.

Special jonins have most of the rights of a jounin, including the ability to independently perform A-level tasks. The only difference is that they cannot participate in jounin voting and lack crucial political rights.

Return to the camp, go to the mission area to pay mission items, receive mission rewards, and update mission records.

After completing a set of procedures, Aburame Tetsumaru disbanded the team and asked the two unfamiliar genin to find a new team on their own, while he took Saburo Yukimura to the administrative area.

The two of them had received promotion notices before and needed to formally complete the process and receive new forehead protectors and equipment.

…

"Aburame Jounin, congratulations."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir, but I am not yet a jounin, just a special jounin."

Aburame Tetsumaru turned a blind eye to Orochimaru's sinister expression and responded expressionlessly.

He took over the new forehead protector and armor, replaced them directly, and handed the old equipment to the ninja on the side to handle.

It's been more than two years since Naoki-senpai died inexplicably, and Orochimaru's human touch has basically completely disappeared. Now, even Aburame Tetsumaru, who is most familiar with him, can't help but get goosebumps if he wants to talk to him.

"Lord Orochimaru, has the application I submitted been approved?"

"Hmm, Hokage approved half of it, Tetsumaru-kun."

Orochimaru pulled out a document from the table, looked at it carefully, and said: "Tetsumaru-kun led the team perfectly, with a 100% completion rate for more than two hundred missions, and even zero casualties."

"With such an amazing talent, you should think about it and understand that it is impossible for a big family to allow you to perform tasks alone."

Aburame Tetsumaru understood that he had protected his subordinates too well, and now he had become a big trouble. Too many wealthy families wanted their direct descendants to join their squad.

You must lead a team, you cannot go alone.

Orochimaru took a scroll from another ninja and handed it directly to Aburame Tetsumaru.

"This is the other half of your application, transferred to the Kawa Country Army."

Aburame Tetsumaru took the scroll and opened it directly. Sure enough, it was the transfer order signed by the Hokage.

"Congratulations, you finally have the opportunity to get rid of Snow and be able to use your abilities to your heart's content." Orochimaru smiled and continued, "I have been looking forward to what your insect swarm looks like now."

Of course, what Orochimaru was talking about was not the insect swarm that drove back the Iwa Ninja's team of dead men, but the new insect unit that Aburame Tetsumaru kept hidden and refused to show off at will.

As the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Earth turned against each other, this battlefield completely turned into a melee between all parties. Whoever became stronger would be besieged by two foreign and three factions, and in the end no one could gain the upper hand.

In addition, Hanzo, who is almost invincible and cannot be defeated by anyone, is mixed in the middle. Hanzo is best at dealing with large groups of enemies. The more people gathered, the more dangerous it is.

And as the Rain Hidden Village becomes weaker and weaker, Hanzo becomes more and more independent, and his threat becomes greater and greater. An unfettered and strongest shadow-level ninja is an intolerable danger to either party.

So the three major countries even made a tacit agreement to release water on the rain ninja, in order to make Hanzo have concerns and not be too wild.

As the new commander who replaced Danzo, Orochimaru's chosen tactics were mobile warfare that emphasized mobility, and he actually performed very well in the war.

In fact, he has another set of tactical options in mind, which is a front-line push-through tactic of large corps that emphasizes the thickness of the troops. It can also be said to be a mindless crushing with the strength of the troops.

Although it is not aesthetically pleasing, Orochimaru pays more attention to effectiveness, especially if he has suitable subordinates who can implement the tactics, and the probability of victory is high.

Pity.

"It's just a pity that I won't be able to discuss science and immortality with Tetsumaru-kun for a while."

"Thank you for your compliment, sir. I look forward to working with you again in the Country of Sichuan."

"Hahahaha, Mr. Tiewan is indeed my smartest subordinate. I'm looking forward to our next cooperation."
