Metamorphosis, the Resurrection of the Primal Gu

Chapter 41 Metamorphosis, the Resurrection of the Primal Gu

The territory of the Oil Women clan.

A heavily disguised black figure stealthily entered the forest.

The black figure stood for a moment, sensing whether there were any ninjas nearby through the insects in the forest.

After confirming that no one was nearby, the dark figure arrived at his meticulously constructed secret base.

The black figure is Aburame Shiki.

This is the base that Shizuki Aburame meticulously built. It is surrounded by Shizuki Aburame's insects, which will warn Shizuki of any trouble immediately.

There's nothing particularly important here; it's just a simple secret base where secrecy is the most important factor.

Aburame Shiki came here for the revival of the Primal Gu. The Primal Gu is Aburame Shiki's deepest secret, and naturally, Aburame Shiki must be careful about everything related to the Primal Gu.

"The secret base we arranged in advance came in handy. Indeed, we should always prepare in advance for everything."

After a month of continuous supply of soul energy, the primordial Gu's throbbing became increasingly intense, reaching a certain point.

You Nu Zhiyi had a sudden realization that the Primal Gu was about to revive, so she secretly came to this secret base.

You Nu Zhiyi sat cross-legged, and soon her consciousness began to approach the Primal Gu through the connection.

This time, Aburame Shiki approached the Primal Gu very smoothly.

"As expected, all my previous attempts were difficult. This time it went so smoothly because the soul energy nourished and strengthened my soul. I am now getting closer to the Primal Gu in every aspect."

As Aburame Shiki got closer and closer, the Primal Gu's throbbing became stronger, as if Aburame Shiki's approach had stimulated the Primal Gu.

Yu Nu Zhiyi had a premonition that the Primal Gu was about to break through that layer of restriction.

"Recover, my love."

Aromatic Shiki's eyes were deep; after so much planning, he had finally reaped the rewards.

Aburame Zhiyi carefully sensed the Primal Gu. Even though the Primal Gu was in a deep slumber, it still emitted waves of terrifying pressure, as if he were facing an entire world.

Ayami Shiki wasn't afraid; on the contrary, he was even more excited. The stronger the Primal Gu, the better, because it meant his future potential was even greater.

The primordial Gu's throbbing grew stronger and stronger, reaching a limit before calming down.

"It's a success."

Yu Nu Zhiyi had a feeling.

With the connection between Aburame Shiki and the Primal Gu becoming stronger, he was able to do even more.

Previously, the Primal Gu could only act passively, relying on instinct. Given Aburame Shiki's soul strength at the time, he simply couldn't control the Primal Gu.

But now, Aburame Shiki can barely use the power of the Primal Gu. Even though most of the Primal Gu are still in a deep dormant state, he can control a little bit of it.

This is a huge step forward, a shift from passive to proactive, and even a small step can accomplish a lot.

In reality, Shiki Aburame is slowly opening his eyes, his gaze unusually bright.

Yu Nu Zhiyi did not move; he was silently sensing the abilities that the Primal Gu had brought him after its initial revival.

The resurgence of the Primal Gu has brought Aburame Shiki an enhancement of its abilities.

The assimilation ability of the Primal Gu has been greatly enhanced. Originally, it could only be passively assimilated through the aura of the Primal Gu, but this could be resisted by some powerful life forms.

Now, Shiichi Aburame can provide chakra to make the original Gu actively de-assimilate.

As long as Shiichi Aburame continues to provide chakra, the original Gu can continue to assimilate until it succeeds.

More importantly, Shiichi Aburame no longer needs to assimilate directly; he can assimilate through those who are already being assimilated. This greatly increases his flexibility.

The assimilation ability of the original Gu has also been greatly enhanced. The parasitic worms in the Pure Land have completely merged with the parasitic souls and can no longer distinguish between friend and foe.

"Most importantly, my life is safe."

For You Nuzhiyi, the most important gain from the revival of the Primal Gu was the revival of the Primal Gu itself.

Both the Primal Gu and the beings assimilated by the Primal Gu are Aburame Shiki.

Even if Aburame Shiichi's original form dies, there is still the existence of the primordial Gu in the dark.

The primordial Gu exists on a dimension even higher than that of the soul, and in the ninja world, it is virtually impossible for anyone to discover it.

In this way, the Primal Gu can project the existence of Aburame Shiki back onto the assimilated being.

Aburame Shiki is resurrected.

Aburame Shizuka wasn't like this before; it wasn't that she was unwilling, but that she couldn't do it.

Previously, the original Gu itself had fallen into a deep slumber, which Aburame Shiki could not control.

Once Aburame Shiitsu dies, the primordial Gu will be in a deep slumber and unable to transmit Aburame Shiitsu's existence to the assimilated body, thus Aburame Shiitsu cannot be resurrected.

Therefore, in the past, once Shiichi Aburame died, it was a logical dead loop.

To revive, the Primal Gu needs to transfer Aburame Shiichi's existence to other assimilated beings. However, for the Primal Gu to transfer Aburame Shiichi's existence, Aburame Shiichi needs to be alive. Find a way to revive the Primal Gu.

Those beings assimilated by the Primal Gu, though also belonging to Aburame Shizuki, will remain the same as before unless Aburame Shizuki actively takes control.

Perhaps in the future, both the original Gu and those assimilated by the original Gu will become Aburame Shiki.

However, Shiichi Aburame's current level of understanding is not sufficient for him to achieve this, and he cannot make every assimilated being become Shiichi Aburame.

Of course, Shiki Aburame didn't care.

Now that the primordial Gu has revived, even just a little bit is enough to save his life.

Aside from the final Infinite Tsukuyomi, the arrival of the Otsutsuki clan, and other threats that might pose a threat to him.

Aburame Shiichi's vitality is now stronger than Orochimaru's.

In terms of survival skills alone, Orochimaru would have to be called "Little Shizuru" compared to Shizuru Aburame.

Next, some insects can be released into the entire ninja world. These insects do not need to have any powerful abilities; they just need to be able to spread throughout the ninja world and ideally become a part of nature.

Whether studying or using natural energy, it can be used as a medium.

……

Aburame Shiki left his secret base. Quietly I leave, just as quietly I came.

Upon arriving home, Aburame Shiki took out his insect pot and cast a spell on it to seal the energy of the soul.

Looking at the insect pot engraved with sealing magic, Aburame Shiki smiled slightly; this was his bargaining chip.

Then, Shiki Aburame poured the pure soul energy from the Pure Land into the Insect Jar, and stopped once the Insect Jar was full.

"This is the soul energy I accidentally absorbed from the souls of mysterious beasts in the forest through the soul-parasitic insects."

Next, she showed it to Orochimaru, and then reluctantly handed over the Soul-Spirit Insect to Orochimaru, thus getting a free share of Orochimaru's research results.

As he thought about it, Shiki Aburame couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
