Chapter 30 Money is just lubricant

Aburame Tetsumaru was a member of the ruling class in her previous life, but she herself was the ruled.

In this life, he is not only a member of the ruling class, but also a member of the rulers by birth, but his status is not high enough.

In short, Aburame Tetsumaru has never seen the world from the perspective of a ruler, so he has never experienced what "money is just a lubricant in the tools of rule".

Now that he was tormented by Konohagakure's wartime limited purchase order, Aburame Tetsumaru understood it and felt it deeply.

Under the purchase restriction order, even though I had tens of millions of taels in savings, I couldn't buy what I wanted and had no channels.

what to do?

By building connections and making connections, Aburame Tetsuwan bought more than 100 kilograms through her social connections, but it was not enough.

Konoha's governance model is generally a feudal system, and having money is not as good as having power.

The power of Konoha ninja depends entirely on the distance and intimacy with Lord Hokage.

For example, the three Hokage assistants, especially Danzo, must have no quota, otherwise what would he do to the root?

For example, the red-haired girl Uzumaki Kushina, does she lack anything or study materials?

But this path is tiring and time-consuming, and most importantly, Tetsumaru Aburame doesn't have the talent, so the path of a teacher is more suitable for him.

Be self-reliant and have enough food and clothing.

Aburame Iron Pill eliminated bugs whose conditions did not meet the needs, such as insufficient fecundity, substandard metal enrichment, and poor controllability, and finally selected three types of bugs.

The first is the gold-eating beetle, a wingless beetle that reproduces quickly and grows quickly. It likes to devour metals. It is similar in size to melon seeds. The carapace on its back is rich in metals to enhance defense. The strange thing is that the metals in the carapace exist in a mixed form of simple substances. High-quality resources directly smelted.

Although it borrowed the name of Han Laomo's spiritual insect, Aburame Tetsumaru's gold-eating insect has no fighting ability.

No, this little bug has to fight hard to stay alive. The carapace of the gold-eating bug is too heavy, and its ability to move and find food is very weak. The large-scale breeding of this little bug requires manual intervention, but Aburame Tetsumaru doesn't want to do that. He decided to match two types of bugs.

Burrowing worms are annular worms that look like earthworms. Adults are about 2 cm in diameter and 40 cm in length. Burrowing worms have no eyes and a keen sense of smell. They are good at digging caves. The mucus secreted on their body surface solidifies to strengthen the caves.

The weakness of the burrowing worm is that its bite force is not strong and it cannot deal with rocks. It can swallow small rocks in one bite, but it can only detour when it encounters large rocks.

The mole cricket that Aburame Tetsumaru finally selected was a bug that was good at digging holes in rocks. In addition to its shovel-shaped forelimbs that were good at digging, it also had a hammer-shaped appendage that could be used to crush rocks with charged strikes similar to those of a mantis shrimp.

In addition, the mole cricket's saliva is a strong acid that corrodes particularly hard rocks and then crushes them for excavation.

Mole crickets are also responsible for transporting minerals, crushing the excavated ores and transporting them to the insect nest to feed the gold-eating insects.

…

The eggs are soaked in a special hormone solution, and chakra and genitin are injected when they pupate. After this preparation, the mortality rate is 95%, and the insect is successfully mutated into a giant insect.

What Aburame Tetsumaru is most satisfied with is that he successfully created flaws in three giant bugs, and they are huge flaws in the life system, which are very easy to domesticate.

The gold-eating bug became the size of a thumb, and its six legs shrunk by half. After the second molt, it completely lost the ability to walk and relied entirely on mole crickets for feeding.

The mole cricket became as big as a palm, and its speed and strength increased significantly, but its consumption increased even more, and its digestive system was so fragile that it could only rely on artificial feed to survive.

The burrowing worm became a terrifying giant worm that was as thick as the mouth of a bowl and 12 meters long, but it lost the ability to divide and regenerate. Worm eggs cannot hatch naturally. They must be exposed to constant light in an artificially maintained environment of constant temperature and humidity to have a hatching rate of two to three percent.

Through simple domestication, the three types of bugs were combined to form a metal mineral mining system, which can mine metal minerals of extremely low quality at extremely low costs.

Aburame Tetsumaru controlled the worms by hatching them, providing feed and insect food, and spraying pheromones. He named the combination of three kinds of bugs, the Mineral Zerg.

It is completely controlled by Aburame Tetsumaru and is a resource that belongs exclusively to him and is not affected by the outside world.

By the time the holiday was over, the population of the mineral bugs had expanded to the limit expected by Aburame Tetsumaru, including 300 burrowing worms, 4,700 giant mole crickets, and 15,000 gold-eating bugs.

Centered in their own yard, the Mineral Zerg excavated underground in a radius of 400 meters, building a complex cave maze with a depth of 500 meters and a total length of about 17 kilometers.

Fortunately, a hematite vein was excavated. Even though it was a waste ore with a low quality and no mining value, the gold-eating insects were able to extract 70 kilograms of pure iron from this non-waste ore every day, which could completely satisfy the oil demand. The needs of female iron pills.

Aburame Tetsumaru didn't want anyone to know about this metal income, because his thinking was completely different from that of the feudal ninjas in the ninja world. He stood as a worker and was very dissatisfied with the feedback after contributing ant candy.

You don't care about money, do you? I won't tell you about the new source of wealth. I will enjoy it by myself.

Unfortunately, this idea could not be implemented. In the final analysis, the power of Aburame Tetsumaru was not sufficient and the technical coverage was not wide enough.

First of all, the slough of the gold-eating insect is composed of a mixture of various metals and must be smelted. To keep it secret, the only way is to expand the furnace in the basement and smelt it by yourself every few days.

Can one person complete 70 kilograms of metal smelting in one day? What about when the scale becomes larger in the future?

And how to solve the problem of fuel for metal smelting?

Secondly, the large amount of metal obtained will eventually be used for the cultivation of psychic insects. How do you explain it when Aburame Tetsumaru produces tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even larger insects?

After thinking about it, in the end, the only option was to take out all the shells of the gold-eating bugs, hand them to the Sarutobi family for smelting, purification and separation, and then scrape them together.

Fortunately, you don't have to pay any money from start to finish.

After figuring out the source of metal materials, the breeding and cultivation of bugs was soon on the right track.

Aburame Tetsumaru finally relaxed and took a good rest for a few days, enjoying delicious food, sleeping in, and sharing what she had seen on the front line with her father who was back home on vacation.

Having experienced the baptism of the battlefield, Aburame Tetsumaru can understand his father's instructions. As a veteran who has experienced two wars, he has much more experience than Aburame Tetsumaru.

The environment of various countries, the specialties of ninjas in various countries, the advantages and disadvantages of the ninja armies of various countries, combat experiences, senior ninjas in Konoha, famous senior ninjas in various countries, Aburame Tetsumaru seriously absorbed his father's experience, recorded notes, and recited them repeatedly.

After learning and absorbing his father's experience, Aburame Tetsumaru made a choice between the psychic technique and the shadow clone technique, which he had been struggling with for a long time, and temporarily gave up the shadow clone technique.

Aburame Tetsumaru had earned a lot of merit on the front line, and could have exchanged it for C-level psychic skills a long time ago. The reason why she did not exchange it immediately was because it would be useless to exchange it on the front line.

Spiritualism is divided into two types according to the channeling target. One type of channeling target is a blood pact psychic beast, and the other type of channeling target is an item.

The psychic technique itself is not different. The handprints and spells are exactly the same, and the effects are exactly the same. The caster uses the psychic technique, senses the target's chakra, resonates with the chakras of the two, and then converts the target to the caster. In front of the surgeon.

The psychic beast has its own chakra. The key is that it also has a certain amount of intelligence. It can distinguish whether the caster is its contractor and actively respond to the psychic to complete the channeling.

But psychic items are troublesome, and you need to make a fuss about psychic items.

The first is an item that can hold chakra, such as the Seven Great Swords of Kirigakure, which can solidify the sealing technique, and activate the psychic technique by writing a psychic scroll corresponding to the sealing technique, but it can only channel in one direction.

The second is to build a huge sealing magic array, place the psychic objects in the large array, and you can summon the items. The cost is huge, but like the psychic beasts, they can come and go, such as the psychic Luo Sheng. Door (set by the second author).

Aburame Tetsumaru wants to channel various insects to meet his unique logistical supply needs.

As an insect user who uses insect arrays as a fighting method, Aburame Tetsumaru's control limit has reached 4,000 insects. At the same time, he can deploy autonomous bugs with extremely simple functions such as mine bugs, and the number can exceed 15,000.

Such a huge scale can only be practiced in Konohagakure, because the total weight of fifteen thousand bugs exceeds two hundred kilograms, which is twice the weight limit of Aburame Tetsumaru itself and cannot be carried at all.

Fortunately, there are ready-made ninjutsu in the ninja world. The black technology of channeling, which can deliver materials, lives, and even intelligence across time and space, can fully meet Aburame Tetsumaru's needs.

Even large toads weighing more than ten tons were summoned, not to mention several kilograms of insects.

What? Spiritualism requires massive amounts of chakra?

Sorry, although I, Aburame Tetsuwan, don't have as much chakra as Huang Mao at this stage, what worries me the most is that I can't use up my chakra.

Nothing wrong.

However, although the psychic insect can absorb chakra, its intelligence is zero and cannot actively respond to the psychic blood contract. Therefore, it can only be achieved through the second method. The channeling target is the insect nest, and the insect hides in the insect nest to perform indirect channeling.

This requires spending money to build a sealing magic circle, and then learning the adjusted psychic technique based on the secret contract set in the sealing technique.

This is not a huge project that Aburame Tetsumaru can handle alone. He has no way to find the ninjas in the sealing class. Apart from providing money, the whole thing can only be handled by the family.

Therefore, the psychic sealing circle can only be the property of the family. I need to convince my father and elders to pay for the construction. After the construction is completed, I have to pay "rent" for use.

This economic routine has truly reached the pinnacle of feudal society, and only Blue Star Real Estate developers can smile with contempt.

He first convinced his father, and then visited Elder Shiki Aburame again.

Aburame Tetsumaru was really embarrassed. In the past few months since she returned to Konoha Village, she had been asking the elders for help every now and then. It was really rude.

…

"The size of the psychic array that you girls want is so big!"

A captain of the sealing team carefully flipped through the plan scroll and couldn't help scratching his head: "It will cost a lot of money."

Several old men from the Aburame family breathed a sigh of relief. If they could spend money to solve the problem, there would be no problem. Then they were all stunned and looked in a daze.

"It turns out that there are times when our Aburame family doesn't worry about money."

With money and the backing of Konoha Village, complete materials, complete technology, and abundant manpower, the Aburame family's largest project was quickly launched after building the village.

First, they demolished the buildings in the clan's forbidden area. Aburame Zhihui and several other elders took matters into their own hands, making a roaring noise while laughing and talking loudly.

"I have long disliked this dilapidated house. It can finally be demolished."

Then fifteen earth escape ninjas were invited to lift up the entire ground and dig down a full seventy meters.

Next, layers of boulders with sealing techniques were filled in. The boulders were stacked to a thickness of ten meters, leaving a space of thirty meters in length, width and height in the center.

After reserving various large and small passages, the core space was capped, and then covered with huge stones for ten meters. Then the family's secret storehouse was built. On top of the secret storehouse, a layer of ordinary warehouses and a layer of training rooms were built.

After the ground is paved, the foundation work is completed.

Next, according to the plan, the sealing team built the psychic sealing array on the bottom floor, and the family ninja built secret vaults and warehouses.

A two-story building had to be built on the ground and a wall built. Ordinary craftsmen in the village were hired to do the construction. They also needed to complete the construction of the underground training room.

After intensive construction, all the projects were completed forty days later. Not only did the Aburame family spend all their savings, they also owed a total of 70 million in debt.

In Konoha, the largest violent group in the shinobi world, the Aburame family is on the third level of the power structure. They have no shortage of powerful connections. However, they have no business talent and have no money. They have been troubled by the lack of money for a long time, and they are constrained in everything they do.

Aburame Tetsumaru looked at Shiki, Shishuang and other elders waving their hands expressionlessly in front of outsiders, spending hundreds of thousands or millions. When he turned around, he showed disbelief and a dull expression on his face.

He secretly used slime to take pictures of the expressions of the seven elders, and then kept them secretly. This thing was discovered before the elders passed away, and Aburame Tetsumaru, the instigator, might be killed.

In fact, now various ninja clans and chambers of commerce in Konoha Village and even the Land of Fire are actively looking for opportunities to lend money to the Aburame family, because the family now has a net income of millions of taels every month, and everyone wants to Want a piece of the pie.

Therefore, when the Aburame family wanted to start a big project and expressed that they were short of money, powerful people from all walks of life in Konoha and even the Fire Country took the initiative to help, providing money, effort, people, and technology.

What fascinates several Aburame elders is not just "having money to spend as they please", but more pleasure comes from tasting this power of "doing whatever you want" for the first time.

So, money is indeed just lubricant, but without it it is really frustrating.

…

Aburame Tetsumaru carefully placed the last insect nest and looked back. The psychic hall that was thirty meters long, wide and high a few days ago had changed beyond recognition.

The current channeling hall is a circle with a diameter of 24 meters and a height of only eight meters. In the center is a four-meter-high six-sided stone pillar with countless sealing runes engraved on the pillars.

In the middle of the cylinder is the list of psychic contracts engraved, and there are currently thirty-five names of Aburame ninjas.

The sealing runes on the cylinder extend all the way to the ground, divided into twelve tree-like structures and spread all over the ground of the psychic hall, all the way to the wall extending upwards to a height of three meters.

Elevated passage boards are laid on the floor of the hall for people to move around and avoid touching the runes.

According to the sizes of large, medium and small, there are three annular channeling areas inside and outside on the ground. There are twelve large channeling stations in the center, 360 medium-sized channeling stations in the middle, and a thousand small channeling areas on the outermost periphery. Souls.

Aburame Tetsumaru looked around and saw that there was nothing in the center, except for the eighty-four two-meter-high insect nests he had placed in the middle. There are more than a hundred groups of items scattered around the outside, including scrolls, swords, bundles of kunai, and everything else.

Well, the forty half-meter-high small insect nests in the more than one hundred groups still belong to Aburame Tetsumaru.

Aburame Tetsumaru smiled. One of the large insect nests was loaded with secret weapons, one was filled with supplies and medicines, one was filled with ninja tools and research equipment, and the remaining eighty-one insect nests contained one hundred and one dormant animals. One hundred and fifty thousand psychic insects.

This army of millions of bugs contains nineteen types of bugs, covering six combat types: detection, camouflage, attack, defense, interference, and field control.

It was Aburame Tetsumaru who finally selected these after strict screening based on more than half a year of combat experience, eliminating bugs that were impractical or had duplicate functions. He proudly named these nineteen types of bugs the Legion Zerg, the third after the Mineral Zerg. Two insect groups.

Being able to summon millions of bugs at any time, unless he encounters an AOE ninja like a jinchuriki, Aburame Tetsumaru feels that he has achieved his small goal of escaping from an elite jounin or even a shadow.

However, millions of insects have also emptied Aburame Tetsumaru's fortune. Now only the eggs and newly hatched nymphs are left in his home and pasture. The next batch of insects will not mature until three months later.

After setting up the insect nest, Aburame Tetsumaru left the Aburame forbidden area.

Now the Aburame family's forbidden area has walls, gates and many guards, and it is a serious forbidden area.

The next task today is to go shopping, shopping, eating a big meal with my parents, and take a hot spring bath with my father.

Tomorrow, Aburame Tetsumaru will return to the Land of Rain. The war has accumulated new energy in a gentle rhythm, and new collision opportunities have been brewing.
