The Xuanyuan Clan and the Exploding Insects

Chapter 20 The Xuanyuan Clan and the Exploding Insects

"How have you been lately?"

As the oil-producing woman Zhiwei added firewood to the fire, she asked.

"I've learned a lot and my skills have improved a lot. Practice is the best teacher."

"That's what Shiki Aburame replied."

"Improve your strength as soon as possible. Once you are noticed, various forces will try to assassinate you. It's very dangerous."

early morning.

A night passed, and nothing happened.

After resting and getting some rest, Aburame Shiki and her group began cleaning up the campsite.

No matter when, a ninja will never leave a trace, because you never know what might follow the trail to find you.

The Shiki squad has begun hunting down ninjas who have infiltrated the Land of Fire, and with the help of Hinata Hiyori's Byakugan, they are doing very well.

The White Eye truly lives up to its strategic value; it's incredibly convenient on the battlefield.

During this period, Zhiwei's team found a lot of ninjas, most of whom were wandering ninjas.

These wandering ninjas don't want to risk their lives on missions; they want to enjoy themselves. They already possess great power, so why should they be controlled by a group of ordinary people?

They should be in control of ordinary people, and even officials and dignitaries.

"There is enough chakra for three genin 2700 meters ahead."

The sun continues to shine brightly, occasionally turning its head to patrol in case of any accidents.

Because of the Caged Bird Seal, there is a blind spot in the Hyuga branch family's vision. To prevent enemies from rushing in from this blind spot, Hyuga Yo has to patrol it constantly.

This time, however, Aburame Shiki moved forward a short distance before gesturing for her to stop.

"Something's not right. If there's a problem, stop for a moment."

Aburame's extensive experience told him that something was wrong with the surrounding environment, and the atmosphere was also very tense.

"Teacher Zhiwei, let me give it a try. I've raised some ordinary insects that won't attract attention."

Aburame Shiki suggested that if Aburame Shiki felt something was wrong, it meant there was great danger.

After saying that, Shiki Aburame released three flying insects. They were ordinary, had no chakra, and were quite inconspicuous.

These are flying insects without chakra that Aburame Shiichi carefully cultivated. If it weren't for the connection between the original Gu, Aburame Shiichi might not have been able to control them.

Aburame Shiki knew perfectly well that when faced with a danger that could threaten Aburame Shiki, it was not the time to hide.

Aburame Shiki carefully observed the flying insects released by Aburame Shiki and nodded in approval.

"The breeding is quite good. Even I wouldn't have paid much attention if I hadn't known beforehand that there was something wrong with these insects. It's good that they don't contain chakra."

The Aburame clan can indeed raise a few ordinary flying insects, but the process is troublesome, consumes a lot of resources, and the insects without chakra have a short lifespan and are easy to die, making it a losing proposition.

But now we've encountered this situation, it's like the dragon-slaying technique has met its match, it's a kind of fate.

With permission from Shimi Aburame, Shiki controlled three flying insects to fly towards the sun's blazing point.

Three young ninjas were resting, but the wariness in their eyes was unmistakable.

One of them complained, "Our leader is really something, using us as bait. What if someone actually comes? I am the future hope of the Xuanyuan clan."

One of the men, who appeared to be a captain, said, "Stop complaining. It'll be even more troublesome if the leader hears you. Stay alert and watch out for enemy attacks."

"There's no need to worry too much. The leader has already surrounded this place. Anyone who dares to come here will definitely not be able to get out."

Upon hearing this, Aburame Shiki, who was controlling the insects, realized it was a trap, and the insects flew around.

Finally, Shiatsu Aburame's insects discovered the hidden ninjas in a tree. They were in a dormant state, carefully concealing their chakra.

Each of these ninjas has a tail on its back.

"The Xuanyuan Clan..."

Yu Nuzhiyi's mind raced, and suddenly it dawned on her that this kind of attire was exactly what the Xuanyuan clan was like.

The phantoms walking in the forest—Xuanyuan Zhong.

Xuanyuan Zhong himself is not very strong, but he has a very powerful technique called the Exploding Insect.

Those infected will be infested with a parasitic worm that can absorb chakra to grow. Once the worm grows to a certain size, the ninja will explode and die.

In the original work, this ninjutsu was very impressive, and the Raikage, Nikai, and Rakai were all affected and infected with exploding insects.

Aburame Shiki immediately told Aburame Shiki about the situation.

Aburame Shiki also became serious upon hearing Aburame Shiki's description.

Aburame Shiki was knowledgeable and had some understanding of the Xuanyuan clan, a ninja clan that also used insects.

The information about the Aburame clan also contains many records about other insect tamers.

I know that the Xuanyuan clan has a kind of explosive insect that is very dangerous, similar to the phosphorus worm of the Younu clan. Both are microscopic insects that are very difficult to deal with.

Since the Xuanyuan Clan has appeared here, they must have a mission, which is bound to be harmful to Konoha.

Yu Nuzhi's eyes were serious. Xuanyuan Zhong was not easy to deal with, especially since he was accompanied by his students.

"It's the Xuanyuan Clan. They are in great danger. Prepare to retreat and regroup with the Anbu ninja squad first."

Upon seeing this situation, Aburame Shiki immediately stepped forward and said:

"Teacher, I can help. The strength of the Xuanyuan Clan lies in their Exploding Bugs. I can inject Phosphorous Damage Bugs into your bodies first, so that once the Exploding Bugs enter, they will be killed by my Phosphorous Damage Bugs."

Aburame Shiki asked Aburame Shiki again to confirm:

"Zhiyi, can you really control the phosphorus worms so they don't harm people?"

"Don't worry, Professor Zhiwei, I've already tested it on many animals, there won't be any problems."

"That's what Shiki Aburame said firmly."

Aburame nodded slightly: "I'm willing to believe you. You all come with me and join the Anbu ninja squad."

It wasn't until Shiki's squad and the Anbu ninjas reunited that Shiki and his two companions felt a little more at ease.

Aburame Shiki and the ninja exchanged information and were all very serious upon learning that it was the Xuanyuan Clan.

In any case, the fact that the Xuanyuan Clan dared to appear inside the Land of Fire shows that they harbor ill intentions towards Konoha and must be dealt with.

"How many people and how strong is the enemy?"

"Three Jonin, seven Chunin, and some Genin."

Aburame Shiki replied, then added:

"The opponent's secret technique, Bursting Insect, can be countered by my Phosphorus Damage Insect. Injecting Phosphorus Damage Insect into my body beforehand can prevent me from being parasitized by the Bursting Insect of the Xuanyuan Clan."

The ANBU captain, Akari, silently assessed and compared the situation: the enemy had three Jonin, and their side also had three Jonin: Aburame Shiki, the ANBU captain Akari, and the vice-captain, Sho.

Furthermore, given that the enemy's intelligence was in the open while ours was in the dark, we ultimately concluded that we could fight.

However, there is some hesitation about injecting phosphorus parasites into the body.

Seeing this, Aburame Shii assured them, "Aburame Shii's phosphorescent insects will absolutely not harm you."

Seeing this, the ANBU ninjas exchanged glances and then nodded.

Since Shiki Aburame has given her assurance, there must be no problem.

At this moment, Aburame Shiki's prestige was fully revealed.

Then, Shiichi Aburame injected each person with phosphorus-destroying insects.

Once everything is ready.

The Aburame Shiki squad and the Anbu ninja squad secretly advanced toward the leader's location in Xuanyuan.

After getting close enough, it suddenly sprang into action.

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique

Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"

The ANBU ninja used fire-style techniques to rush towards the position of the leader of the Xuanyuan Clan.

The wind-style technique amplified the speed and power of the fire-style technique, and in an instant, the leaders of the Xuanyuan clan suffered a devastating blow.
