Defining the Goal: The Pure Land of the Six Immortals

Chapter 23 Defining the Goal: The Sage of Six Paths' Pure Land

Aburame Shiki returned to her home, lay down on her soft bed to rest, and didn't want to move at all.

The long hours of performing A-level missions had taken a toll on Shiki Aburame's mental health, and now that he had finally managed to relax by eating barbecue, he was in the mood for a good rest.

Aburame Zhiyi closed his eyes, and his soul connected with the primordial Gu through the link between them.

The Primal Gu helped Aburame Shiki a lot, or rather, the reason why Aburame Shiki was able to rise to prominence was because of the Primal Gu.

However, Shiki Aburame's consciousness was unable to control the Primal Gu, resulting in the Primal Gu being in a half-dead state.

Now that Yu Nu Zhiyi has made some initial progress, she wonders if she can stimulate the primordial Gu to gain more functions.

Only when Aburame Shiki's soul touched the primordial Gu could he feel its terrifying power.

It was like facing a mountain; you couldn't budge it at all.

Aburame Zhiyi cannot describe the Primal Gu in words. Only by truly touching it can you feel that the Primal Gu is simply the origin of everything.

Aburame Zhiyi clenched his fist tightly. His soul was still not up to par, and even the Primal Gu could not help him.

"We need to find a way to strengthen our souls."

Aburame Shiki made up his mind.

In the ninja world, the soul is extremely mysterious, and it is almost impossible to strengthen it.

Just like Orochimaru's Reanimation Jutsu, didn't Orochimaru know that Reanimation Jutsu would damage the soul?

Orochimaru was well aware of the damage the Reanimation Jutsu had inflicted on his soul after being defeated by Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan genjutsu.

Orochimaru also considered many ways to make up for, repair, and strengthen his soul.

In the end, Orochimaru's weakness remained genjutsu (illusionary techniques).

This shows just how difficult it is to strengthen the soul.

Orochimaru is a master of forbidden techniques. Even Orochimaru doesn't have a good way to enhance his own soul, let alone others.

However, it's not that there's no way to quickly enhance one's soul; there are shortcuts to doing so.

There is a place that can be said to have accumulated soul energy for thousands of years.

If one can obtain even a tiny bit of soul energy from it to nourish one's soul, then one's soul will experience a leap forward.

Pure Land.

The territory of the Sage of Six Paths.

The Pure Land is where the soul of the Sage of Six Paths resides, or rather, it is the training ground prepared by the Sage of Six Paths for future enemies.

It contains the souls of many powerful beings and has accumulated a vast amount of soul energy.

Even a small gain can lead to a fortune.

However, this is very difficult. Let alone defeating the Sage of Six Paths to harvest soul energy in the Pure Land, you can't even find where the Pure Land is.

Aburame Shiki felt regretful that he wasn't a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths; otherwise, he would have gone directly to the Sage of Six Paths and told him he didn't want to try anymore.

But it's just a thought.

"First, we need to cultivate insects related to the soul; you can refer to the art of spiritification."

"As for the location of the Pure Land, there is no need to search for it deliberately; one can be reborn in the defiled land."

"At that time, we can let the spiritual insects reside in the souls of the reanimated ninjas, then cancel the reanimation, and return to the Pure Land along with the reanimated ninja souls."

"Then it hides itself, silently absorbs soul energy, and then transmits the energy to me through the primordial Gu."

The imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Danzo Shimura has not yet given him a reply, nor has he sent anyone to look for him.

This indicates that Danzo Shimura recognized Aburame Shiitsu's value, but it was not yet time for him to become a disciple; he still needed to observe Aburame Shiitsu further.

"I need to demonstrate its value further, and that's how the medical value of nanobots can be shown."

As Yuu-Nyo Shiki thought this, a wave of drowsiness washed over her, so she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

……

Aburame Shiki took three days off.

early morning.

Yu Nu Zhiyi yawned, stretched, and got up to wash.

"It's always the home that brings peace of mind."

In the past three days, You Nuzhiyi has completely adjusted her mental state and feels refreshed.

The medicinal value of phosphorus worms can wait; the immediate priority is to breed blasting worms.

Aburame Shizuka has already cultivated a small number of burst bugs inside her body.

Aburame Shiki's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. Although the Aburame clan's Phosphorous Waste Insects were nano-sized poisonous insects, they had reached the pinnacle of microscopic insect technology in Naruto.

However, it has one drawback: it can only rely on living things.

In other words, parasites can only attack their enemies through biological contact, and they die quickly once they leave the human body.

But with the Bursting Bugs, things are different. Although Bursting Bugs are cellular-level insects, they can scatter in the air and enter the human body through respiration.

It turns out that Shiki Aburame's parasitic worms can only kill enemies by touching them. Even though Shiki Aburame can combine the phosphorus worms with the parasitic worms, there are still limitations.

The enemy still has a way, although it is troublesome, but as long as you don't come into contact with the parasites, you can still avoid death to a large extent.

But now that Shizuka Aburame has the Burst Bug, things are different.

It's like turning a self-destructing truck into a nuclear-radiated self-destructing truck.

Suicide bombers are safe before they explode, but if a truck explodes due to nuclear radiation, you are in danger if you are next to it.

In this way, even if the enemy has a way to avoid the parasitic worms and not come into contact with them, as long as they dare to fight with Shiichi Aburame for a period of time, they will inevitably have to let the bursting worms enter their bodies.

Therefore, the comprehensiveness of Aburame Shiichi's parasites will be greatly improved.

Aburame Shiki couldn't help but grin; it was exactly what he wanted.

The value of the dead parasites has increased even further.

Aburame Shiki couldn't help but sigh, "There are still opportunities in the ninja world, as long as you're willing to put in the effort to find them."

Now, Shizuka has added both the bursting insect and the phosphorus-damaged insect to the parasitic insect.

Then, Shiki visited Shiki Aburame and handed over some of the Burst Bugs he had cultivated to her.

The reason I didn't give it to her on the same day was because I was afraid that I would appear too monstrous and that the Aburame clan wouldn't accept it.

"You successfully cultivated it?"

Yu Nu Zhiyi was a little skeptical; the fact that she had successfully raised an unfamiliar insect in just three days was truly beyond his expectations.

"The risk of raising Burrowing Bugs is not high, and it would be best to promote it within the species if possible."

Then he told Shiki Aburame what he knew about the habits of the bursting insects.

This is important because the habits of an insect indicate its breeding methods and uses.

After Aburame Shiki used the Primal Gu to assimilate the Exploding Worm, the Exploding Worm had no secrets from Aburame Shiki.

"The Bursting Bug is indeed very powerful. If what you say is true, it is indeed possible to promote it, but we need the permission of the elders of the Aburame clan."

"Elder?"

"I ask you this in a strange way," said Shiki Aburame.

The elders of the Aburame clan have a very low profile, not only in Konoha but also within the clan itself.

Aburame nodded slightly and said admiringly:

"The elders are no longer able to become ninjas due to age, injuries, or other reasons."

"Therefore, the elders cultivated insects within the clan's territory, and the parasitic insects of the Aburame clan grew stronger generation after generation. Their contribution was indispensable."

"Without a doubt, the elders have a wealth of experience in cultivating and raising insects. It can be said that they have dealt with all kinds of insects their whole lives, which is the true foundation of the Aburame clan."

Only then did Yu Nu Zhiyi understand that Elder Yu Nu wanted to determine the risks of the insects. For example, the large-scale breeding of phosphorus worms was prohibited for the tribe.

They are responsible for the entire Aburame clan.
