Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 45 The Loot Almost Forgotten

"I hope the four elders will keep today's events a secret, not reveal them to anyone, and not try to find me in the village. Therefore, to ensure you keep your word, I would like to give you four a small gift."

As Yu Nu Zhicheng spoke, he took out four insect eggs from his bosom: "These are the immortal insects I cultivated. They can revitalize your aging bodies and increase your lifespan. Perhaps they can even improve your strength."

"you……"

Two of the elders clearly resisted, as if they were about to drink the Hero's Water and risk their lives to preserve their reputation.

Aburame Zhicheng didn't do anything special; he simply turned around and looked at the peaceful and serene village.

"It's so quiet! Don't you think it would be wonderful if this quiet could stay forever?"

A threat, a blatant threat!

They used those defenseless civilians and ninjas to threaten these old men who were half-buried in the ground.

But what can they do?

Unable to resist, they were forced to accept it.

The group of people deflated like punctured balloons, their faces ashen as they accepted the insect eggs he handed them and swallowed them.

As Aburame Shisei formed the hand seals, they soon felt changes in their bodies; their strength increased, and the flesh beneath their skin seemed to be revitalized.

Seeing that the others had submitted, Yu Nu Zhicheng transformed into a swarm of gray insects and scattered away.

Finally, all the insects disappeared into the night, and the village returned to peace and tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

Even the bones and clothing of the dead were completely devoured and disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

The four elders didn't dare to breathe loudly until the very end, when they finally breathed a sigh of relief and almost collapsed to the ground.

On the second basement level, Aburame Shisei sat cross-legged on the ground, the gentle light of the insects illuminating his face, revealing extreme weakness and paleness.

Because at this moment, he had exhausted all the chakra in his body.

In addition, a large number of insects died in the petri dishes due to forced growth and insufficient nutrition, and now they have all been recycled by him and turned into primordial energy.

This massacre and looting of corpses caused the culture dish inside his body to accumulate over 1,300 years' worth of primordial energy in one go.

He even considered using this opportunity to kill everyone, but the thought only flashed through his mind before being completely extinguished.

The temptation of killing is great, but if one cannot guard one's true nature, one will fall into the abyss and be devoured by greed, becoming neither human nor ghost.

Wasn't his escape from Konoha a form of resistance against being assimilated by Konoha and the ninja world?

However, such perseverance and resistance were too difficult to endure. After all, in his previous life, he was just an ordinary person.

"As expected, I'm not suited to be the Great Demon King. I'm too willful; I won't do things that would make me unhappy for the sake of profit."

He slowly closed his eyes as he spoke, just as he was about to rest and fall asleep, when he suddenly opened his eyes and remembered that there were still a few big treasures that hadn't been moved over.

Those things were the sealed, unattended cauldron and the divine tree that could produce the Hero's Water.

"The things inside Togo Shrine are all mine."

The thought of this immediately dispelled his sleepiness.

But moving them back would require a great deal of physical effort, and the thought of this made him hesitate.

Finally, he thought of insect eggs. Although he disliked them, if he inactivated them and swallowed them, the energy and nutrients they contained would quickly restore his strength.

Thinking of this, he took out two insect eggs, neutralized their activity, and swallowed them. His body indeed recovered in a warm current, the effect being hundreds of times better than military ration pills, especially since it didn't strain his body.

However, it did not produce the effect of enhancing physical fitness, so it seems that it can only work after symbiosis.

That night, a figure appeared again at Togo Shrine.

He stroked the sealed cauldron, preparing to take it away.

Just then, he sensed the restlessness of some insects. Following the direction indicated by the insects, he discovered something buried underground.

Curious, he manipulated the insects to dig the object out. When the soil was cleared away, two pure white human bodies came into view, which were in a light sleep and were awakened as soon as they were dug out.

Just as the two were about to escape into the basement, Aburame Shisei reacted quickly and subdued the two precious materials.

It's a White Zetsu.

But why are these two things here?

Were they here to spy on me for my own benefit?

"Probably not," Yu Nuzhicheng shook his head inwardly. He knew his own limitations, judging from his current performance.

He's at best a minor supporting character with a little bit of power, not powerful enough to be controlled and closely monitored by a big shot like White Zetsu.

He figured these two things were probably used to monitor the Seven-Tails, but they accidentally fell into his illusion, exposed their tracks, and were captured by him.

What a pleasant surprise! This is absolutely a pleasant surprise!

While White Zetsu will be everywhere in the future, for now, they are indeed top-tier materials that surpass ordinary Jonin in the ninja world.

The two white zeppelins were still struggling, seemingly trying to send a message outwards. Shisei Aburame casually knocked them unconscious and had the insects drag them away.

Afterwards, he dissipated this clone, and then another clone carried the cauldron that sealed the Seven-Tailed Chongming back to his residence, in order to avoid leaving spores on this clone.

Inside the basement, Aburame Shisei touched the bronze artifact and discovered a seal on it that he could not break.

Although Takigakure's sealing techniques are not as good as Konoha's, they were once a formidable force, otherwise they wouldn't have been assigned a tailed beast.

Although it has fallen on hard times, its former foundation should still remain. Thinking of this, Aburame Shisei realized that he had overlooked some precious things again.

Moreover, it would be impossible to imprison these experimental subjects alive without a powerful sealing technique.

Thinking of this, he created another clone, this time heading to the leader's residence, where there should be many ninjutsu scrolls and sealing scrolls.

When Shisei Aburame arrived, the four elders were indeed there, preparing to divide up the ninjutsu and knowledge here.

Upon seeing him appear, they immediately put down their scrolls and sighed inwardly.

"Gentlemen, I will also be part of the village from now on. So I should have a share in these traditions."

What can they say?

Not only did he recite ninjutsu information, but he also recited all the sealing techniques of the shrines that protected the tailed beasts throughout history, word for word.

This time, however, the four elders were no longer as fearful as before. Perhaps, as Aburame Shisei said, he only wanted the village to become what he desired.
