Chapter 22 Mission Completed
There's also a Jonin who's incapacitated and lying on the ground—that's live intelligence.
Several ANBU ninjas used shadow clones to instantly appear around the Xuanyuan group of Jonin who had lost their ability to fight.
He used a simple sealing technique to seal the chakra of the Xuanyuan Jonin, then bound him and inserted several needles into his pressure points to ensure that he remained asleep throughout the journey to Konoha.
Seeing that the battle with the Xuanyuan Clan had ended, Aburame Shiki spoke up:
"Let me take the phosphorus worms back. It's not good for them to stay in my body, since they also steal nutrients from my body."
The ANBU ninja nodded in agreement. Having the Phosphorous Worms inside their bodies still made them somewhat uncomfortable.
Now that Yu Nu Zhiyi has taken the initiative to suggest it, they've gone along with it.
Otherwise, you'll have to find a way to get rid of the parasites in your body later, which is very troublesome.
"Secret Technique: Poison Contact Recovery"
Yu Nu Shiyi retrieved the injected phosphorus-damaged insects one by one.
The Dark Squad leader, Akari, secretly admired Aburame Shiichi's skillful movements. In fact, he had noticed Aburame Shiichi before the battle even began.
Now, seeing the corpses of the Xuanyuan clan scattered all over the ground, covered in purple, one knows that they were dealt with by Aburame Shiki.
I couldn't help but exclaim, "What a genius!"
Upon hearing the praise from the Dark Guard Captain, Aburame Shiki smiled and said:
"Let's clean up the battlefield and then go back to the village to rest. This mission has lasted for a month, and it's time for the mission to end."
Upon hearing this, the Dark Division Captain Deng nodded in agreement.
The time limit for the ninja elimination mission is one month, and this time we've cracked a tough nut to crack, so it's definitely time to go back to the village to rest and recuperate.
On the way back to the village, everyone remained vigilant, not wanting to be ambushed after completing their mission.
The journey back to the village was peaceful, and they made it back safely.
As soon as Shiki Aburame returned to the village, she personally reported the mission situation to the Third Hokage.
"It's the Xuanyuan clan. They're still very dangerous, the ninjas who hunt ninjas. You've really had a tough time, Zhiwei."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was also quite saddened to hear this, as the Xuanyuan clan was quite well-known in the ninja world.
Although the Xuanyuan clan was not as strong as before, it was still not weak, but now it has disappeared into history.
"Do you have any requests? Zhiwei, you've really worked hard this time."
"Lord Hokage, if possible, I would like to obtain information about the Exploding Insects from the Xuanyuan Clan."
"The Xuanyuan Clan's exploding insects are indeed a good match for the Aburame Clan. If it succeeds, it will be a good thing. Go to the interrogation department and ask them for it. I'll give you the warrant."
When Hiruzen Sarutobi heard Shiki Aburame's request, he immediately agreed.
"Thank you, Third Hokage."
Aburame Shiki was very grateful, as this would help him a lot and increase the strength and foundation of the Aburame clan.
Seeing Shiki's grateful expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction.
"Konoha needs ninjas like Shiki to have achieved its current prosperity."
"Without the leadership of the Third Hokage, Konoha would not be as prosperous as it is today."
Upon hearing this, Aburame immediately expressed her determination.
"That's going too far. Konoha is protected by everyone working together."
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi said this, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
"How are Shiatsu Aburame, Hinata Hiyori, and Aoi Inuzuka performing?"
"They all performed very well, and the cleanup mission was successfully completed thanks to their reconnaissance."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "They are all geniuses. Shii needs to put in some effort and nurture them properly."
Aburame Shiatsu was moved by the Third Hokage's words.
"You may leave now."
"Yes."
Upon receiving the order, Shiki Aburame left the Hokage Building, as the Third Hokage was busy with official duties.
Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned Akari, the captain of the Dark Guard who followed Shimi Aburame, and wanted to hear the Dark Guard's report.
Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't distrust Shiki Aburame; rather, he wanted to have a more comprehensive understanding of the situation.
"What do you think of Shizuka Aburame's performance in this mission?"
Aburame Shiichi performed very well; both his scout bugs and the combination of parasitic bugs and phosphorus bugs played a significant role.
"Dark unit leader Deng said seriously."
"Shiichi Aburame is a genius, but he is not just a genius. The combination of Parasite and Phosphorous Worm is enough for him to dominate the battlefield."
"If possible, I hope that Shizuki Aburame can join the Anbu and become one of my members."
Aburame Shiki's performance caught the eye of the Dark Division Captain, Akari, who desperately wanted to become one of his team members so that many missions could be completed easily.
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained noncommittal about what the Dark Army captain said; of course, he was also aware of Shiitsu Aburame's potential.
"It's a bit early to join the Anbu now. Let's wait for Minato to come back and have him make contact with them."
……
After Shiki Aburame came out of the Hokage Building, she went to find his team.
He smiled with satisfaction as he looked at Shizuka Aburame, Hinata, and Aoi Inuzuka.
"You three all did a great job on this mission. Now that the mission is over, I'll treat you to barbecue."
"Yay!"
Aoi Inuzuka hugged Haimaru and laughed happily. This mission was indeed very dangerous, even with Shii Aburame's protection.
Aburame Shizuka and Hinata Hiyori also smiled.
Aburame's words were not just a reward, but also a signal that you are safe.
Moreover, it would be wonderful if Teacher Zhiwei were willing to treat me to a meal to soothe my wounded heart.
At the barbecue restaurant, Ayame Shiki and her group didn't hold back at all, eating and drinking to their hearts' content without considering Ayame Shiki's wallet.
Although Shiki Aburame was a little distressed about her wallet, she was very happy to see Shiki and the other two enjoying their meal so much.
After completing the task, going to a barbecue restaurant is actually a way to release stress.
After all, ninjas carry out very dangerous missions, and they accumulate a lot of pressure during these missions. If they don't release it, they can become very extreme over time.
There are many ways to relieve stress, but for a small team like Aburame Shiki's, the most common way is to go to a barbecue restaurant.
Release your stress by eating barbecue.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, You Nu Zhiwei said to the three of them:
"You all need to rest well for the time being. Although this mission was very dangerous, now that it's done, you should relax."
"Great! I want to go out and play with Haimaru."
Inuzuka Aoi said, while playing with Haimaru.
Hinata nodded, but no happy expression appeared on her face.
That's true. During his vacation, he can only return to the Hyuga clan's territory, a heavy, lifeless place that feels like a prison.
Seeing this, Aburame Shiki sighed, as she didn't have any good solutions.
It's no use even if it's not Aburame Shiki, let alone the entire Aburame clan.
The strategic significance of the Byakugan is obvious. Konoha cannot accept the consequences of losing the Hyuga clan, and the main branch of the Hyuga clan is very weak.
After Inuzuka Aoi and Hinata Hiyori left, Aburame Shiki and Aburame Shiki strolled along the road leading to the Aburame clan's territory.
"Teacher Zhiwei, when the leaders of the Xuanyuan Clan used the Exploding Insects, the Exploding Insects in your bodies were killed by my Phosphorous Damage Insects, but the ones in my body were not; they were just trapped for the time being."
"I want to conduct an experiment to see if I can cultivate it."
Upon hearing Aburame Shiki's words, Aburame Shiki's expression froze for a moment, and he immediately asked:
"Is it safe? If there's any danger, then there's no need to go."
"Don't worry, Teacher Zhiwei, it's very safe. My body is covered with phosphorus worms, so the bursting worms can't cause any trouble."
"We can try to train them. If it's successful, it will benefit the entire Aburame clan."
"Zhiyi, I'll give you a copy of the information I collected from the interrogation department. Good luck."
Aburame Shimi's face was full of anticipation.
