Phosphorus-damaged insects

Chapter 3 Phosphorus-damaged insects

"Zhiyi, your compatibility with the parasitic insects surprises me. You were able to sign a contract with them right after the ceremony and command them to leave your body and obey your orders."

Aburame Shiki let out a deep sigh, and at the same time took out a scroll from her waist behind her back.

"Your speed of adaptation to the insects is exceptional in the history of the Aburame clan. The secret techniques of our Aburame clan are essentially all about using insects. They don't have enough control over insects. Let alone making insects leave the body and obey commands, it's difficult for them to even adapt to parasitic insects inside the body. Therefore, they need a three-day adaptation period, but you don't."

Aburame Shiki took the scroll, opened it, and discovered that it contained the basic secret techniques of the Aburame clan.

"If you have any questions during these three days, you can ask me. After three days, someone will provide unified training for all the clansmen who participated in this ceremony."

The advantage of being a genius becomes apparent: they receive extra resources for development.

Ordinary members of the Aburame tribe cannot accept the personal training provided by Aburame Zhiwei.

Shiki Aburame is a contemporary of Minato Namikaze. Although she hasn't reached her peak yet, she is still a force to be reckoned with.

Now he is an elite Jonin, experienced and well-rounded with almost no weaknesses.

More importantly, the secret techniques used by Shiki Aburame and Shiki Aburame are of the same lineage, allowing them to share more experience and insights.

It was quite an opportunity that Shiki taught Shiki the secrets of the Aburame for three days.

"Lord Zhiwei, I would like to cultivate Uncle Zhihei's purple insect."

Aburame Shiki decisively stated her demands.

"No, those insects are too dangerous. You have such a high compatibility with parasitic insects, so you should focus on developing them. Zhihei's insects are too risky and might not be suitable for you."

Yu Nuzhi shook her head slightly and decisively refused.

While the Phosphorous Damage Bug is very strong, it is not as comprehensive as the Parasitic Damage Bug. It is much more powerful than the Parasitic Damage Bug in the early stages, but in the later stages, when facing Jonin with many tricks up their sleeves, the Phosphorous Damage Bug is not necessarily more convenient than the Parasitic Damage Bug.

The foundation of the Aburame clan is the Parasite Bug, which can attack, defend, detect, disguise, and heal—making it an all-around powerful insect.

Moreover, parasites can adapt to evolution, have many directions for development, and have enormous potential.

Although the Phosphorus Damage Insect is powerful, it is too limited. It can only exert its power in close contact, and it lacks long-range attack methods.

It has an advantage against taijutsu ninjas, since their attack method is close combat. However, it's not as overwhelmingly powerful against other ninjas as one might imagine.

Moreover, when the phosphorus worms cover the entire body, the body turns purple, which is very obvious.

If you encounter an experienced ninja, they won't give you a chance to get close.

Your whole body has turned purple; there's something wrong with that. Surely no one would make contact without probing first.

They can attack you from a distance without letting you get close, and still leave you helpless.

Therefore, parasitic insects are the first choice for the Oil Woman tribe. Although phosphorus insects are powerful, they have many limitations and are only suitable for specific occasions.

Moreover, raising them is very dangerous, with the risk of being devoured.

The Aburame tribe is small in number to begin with. If they were to raise the Phosphorous Worm on a large scale because they coveted its power, the consequences would be dire.

If things go wrong, they will be devoured by the phosphorus-borne insects, resulting in the deaths of many members of the clan and endangering the entire family.

Even if a few members of the clan successfully raise the Phosphorous Waste, what good will it do? It won't be enough to support the Aburame clan.

Putting the cart before the horse.

In peacetime, one phosphorus worm is enough; it doesn't matter if there are no oil women to use phosphorus worms.

What sustains the Oil Women clan is the parasitic insects; the phosphorus insects are merely icing on the cake, showcasing the Oil Women clan's inherent strength.

We will tell the outside world that our Aburame clan is not a small family with nothing, but has a rich historical heritage.

Don't underestimate me, you bastard.

I'm talking to you, Shimura Danzo!

"Lord Zhiwei, I can feel the connection between me and Uncle Zhihei's insect. It's like my lover. Even if you don't agree, we will eventually be together."

Aburame Zhiyi said tenderly, feeling slightly embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do. Phosphorous worms were very dangerous insects of the Aburame tribe, and they were generally not allowed to come into contact with them.

If they hadn't acted in an extreme way, they probably wouldn't have had the chance to make contact before the Fourth Shinobi World War broke out.

Aburame Shiki hesitated slightly; it was normal for the Aburame clan to have a special sensitivity to insects.

This intuition can roughly determine the outcome of using insects, and it's generally accurate.

But he still tried to dissuade him, his face serious: "The parasitism of phosphorus worms is extremely dangerous. If it fails, you may die. Even if it succeeds, it will kill the other worms inside you, so it's not worth it."

"Lord Zhiwei, I still want to try it. I was captivated by it the moment I saw it; it's so beautiful, so perfect!"

Aburame Zhiyi spoke firmly the love words she had learned online in her previous life, her voice revealing a deep longing.

He was thinking to himself that he had a primordial Gu that could assimilate phosphorus-borne insects just like the parasitic insects.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Aburame Shiki, Aburame Shiki gave up. In this day and age, having one more tribesman who uses phosphorus-damaged insects wasn't a bad thing.

He had worked with Minato Namikaze on many missions and could clearly sense that there were some unpleasant signs in the ninja world.

As the next clan leader of the Aburame clan, he must also shoulder the responsibility.

If Shiichi Aburame successfully raises the Phosphorus Waste Insects, at least the deterrent power of the Aburame clan can be increased.

"I'm going to prepare the ritual for the phosphorus-damaged insects. You wait here for a moment." Shiki Aburame couldn't dissuade Shiki Aburame from his will, and was also afraid that Shiki Aburame would secretly raise them in private.

It would be better to use a formal and comprehensive ceremony from the beginning, which would ensure safety and, if it fails, could discourage Ayumi Shiki from having any ideas.

Even if it fails, it can still lead Shiichi Aburame down the path of parasites, although it will take some time.

Based on the potential shown by Shiichi Aburame, becoming a Jonin is not a problem.

Success would be a good thing, at least in the current climate of increasing border friction, it can strengthen the power of the Aburame clan in a short period of time.

"Thank you very much, Lord Zhiwei," said Aburame Zhiyi gratefully.

Aburame Shiki gave Aburame Shiki a deep look before leaving the ceremony site to find Aburame Shikikuro, as the ritual for the Phosphorous Waste Insect required Aburame Shikikuro's assistance.

Shiro Aburame can help Shiichi Aburame survive when the Phosphorous Worm Ritual goes wrong.

Every member of the tribe is precious to the Aburame tribe.

After Aburame Shiki left, Aburame Shiki waited silently, his dark sunglasses unable to conceal the glint in his eyes.

Although Shiki Aburame is currently undergoing treatment by parasites, his mental state is remarkably good.

Aburame Shiki pushed up his sunglasses and slowly exhaled.

Everything unfolded according to Shiki Aburame's plan. He gained Shiki Aburame's attention and was given the opportunity to raise phosphorus worms.

Now comes the time to witness a miracle.
