Chapter 37 It’s great to be disliked

In the afternoon, Uchiha Kei and Kurama Yun finally returned.

The rebel Jiu Yuan is already dead. The delay was too long and the guy was poisoned to death by a large dose of sleeping pills.

As for the specific cause of death, it was impossible to figure out. Uchiha Kei found that the rebellious ninja could not be saved, so he only brought his head back.

After completing the mission with his two subordinates and turning in the loot and mission items, Aburame Tetsumaru drove the two mud monkeys to wash them, and then arranged for them to rest while he continued to think about bugs.

In last night's battle, Aburame Tetsumaru used hundreds of thousands of insects, but actually lost more than 12,000.

This is still an attack on the Rock Ninja, who is not good at killing insects. If it were the Cloud Ninja and Sand Ninja, wouldn't the entire army be annihilated?

I had fought against sand ninjas a lot in the Ueno team before, but I didn't think it was that difficult at the time.

Aburame Tetsumaru carefully listed the differences between the two teams, eliminating unreliable factors, and finally focused on two factors.

In the Ueno team, Captain Ueno Hayato has always been the main force, and other team members, including Aburame Tetsumaru, serve as auxiliary tasks.

Now he can only serve as the main player in the Aburame team, and his mentality has not yet changed from an auxiliary player to the main captain.

Since the Ueno team was playing support role, Aburame Tetsumaru's bugs almost always performed ambush missions in addition to reconnaissance.

What was carried out last night was an active and frontal attack on the enemy. Especially after the enemy reacted, the damage caused by organized ninjutsu was very terrifying.

The conclusion is obvious. Aburame Tetsumaru's big bug is not qualified to serve as the main force, especially the frontal assault capability is seriously lacking.

[Can I take on the main task? 】

Aburame Tetsumaru couldn't help but be a little doubtful. Being the main force meant being on top at critical moments.

As the main force, you will definitely be attacked by the enemy. You must have considerable defensive power and cannot be killed by the enemy in one hit. Aburame Tetsumaru is still very confident in his own defense. He has never relaxed in upgrading the armored beetle. It has been updated to five versions since the first battle.

However, almost all ninjas have fragile attributes, while the attack power of ninjutsu is extremely high. This requires the main members of the team to have higher attack power and play a decisive role at critical moments.

To put it bluntly, a ninja with insufficient attack power is like a MT without taunts. The enemy ninjas will not hesitate to ignore you. No matter how strong your defense is, it will have no effect.

This is exactly Aburame Tetsumaru's weakness. What he lacks most is the means to convert huge chakra into combat power.

There is another issue that must be considered. Since acquiring the Puppet Technique and perfecting the insect swarm tactics, Aburame Tetsumaru has enjoyed dividends for more than half a year and has unknowingly invested a huge amount of money in insect development.

The sunk cost of millions of insect swarms is too much. His next path can only be based on the insect swarms. Without the determination of a strong man to cut off his wrist, there is no way to choose another path.

No, changing the road at this time is no longer a strong man's wrist cut off, but a strong man's waist cut off. Not only is it extremely painful, but it is also certain to die.

worry.

While Aburame Tetsumaru was worrying about making up for his shortcomings, the root ninja had already reported on today's mission.

Shimura Danzo had already received the news that the mission to hunt down the traitorous ninja had been completed, and he naturally became interested in Aburame Tetsumaru who had completed the mission.

The roots have absorbed a lot of oil kunoichi since its inception, so adding another one just makes sense.

Moreover, the name Aburame Tetsumaru can be seen at a glance as being a branch of the Aburame family. As long as he first requests Aburame Shiwei to join the root, and then takes a step back in the face of the fierce opposition of the Aburame family, he will be able to join him naturally. Hide the desired goal.

This old-fashioned little trick has been played too many times, but it is almost instinctive for the ninja to sacrifice the collateral line to protect the direct descendants, so that the routine succeeds every time, and Danzo naturally gets along like a fish in water.

Except for the two families, all the collateral ninjas of the Byakugan family have been sealed with the caged bird. Life and death are in the hands of the clan. Danzo cannot accept the situation where his subordinates are controlled by others.

The relationship between the Uchiha family and Danzo is openly hostile, especially since the current Uchiha family is not headed by the soft-hearted Fugaku, who will refuse all Danzo's requests.

The Uchiha family even used their security powers to repeatedly arrest and detain the root ninjas who were engaged in secret operations in Konoha Village, and even engaged in conflicts that blocked the gate of the root and demanded Danzo's surrender.

Ordering his subordinates to bring in Aburame Tetsumaru's intelligence file, Danzo Shimura studied it carefully.

"As the top student in the Ninja School, he refused to graduate early during the war, and was not recruited as a disciple by the Sannin after graduation. Well, this is because Hiruzen is disgusted. Very good, very good, there is no obstacle."

"Mission completion rate 100%?" This is very suitable for my roots.

"Huge amount of chakra, not good at Aburame's secret technique, suspected to have Senju bloodline?"

Danzo Shimura brought in information about Aiko Aburame, and quickly determined that she was not a descendant of the Senju. Tetsumaru Aburame's grandfather was a ninja who joined Konoha as an individual when the village was founded, and his origins were clear.

"The sense of presence is low, and it is very difficult to sense the person." The presence of large chakra is low. This is the seedling of a natural assassin ninja, which is very suitable for the root.

After seeing the last part of the information, Danzo Shimura suddenly felt bad. He felt like he had eaten half a worm. He closed the file with a gloomy face and threw it to his subordinates: "Put it away."

Genbu claims to accept all comers and can train all ninjas to become sharp swords in the village. In fact, there are three types of ninjas that are not needed:

The Uchiha ninjas don't want it, Danzo only wants their red eyes;

The Hyuga family doesn’t want it, for the reason mentioned before;

Finally, there are the ninjas of the Akimichi family, who are shaking the earth when fighting, which is naturally inconsistent with the secret actions of the roots;

Everyone else is required, and those who are not strong enough will not be rejected. At least they can be used as spies, cannon fodder, etc. If they are really bad, they can be sent to the operating table for experiments and so on.

Of course, later an unwanted ninja type was added to the Roots. A certain taijutsu ninja even asked to join the Roots, but Danzo Shimura refused in disgust.

Even the Inuzuka family was disliked from the bottom of their hearts. Ninjas with poor brains could accidentally mess things up or even make a big fuss. The risk was too great.

Aburame Tetsumaru's situation is similar to that of the Akimichi family. Their fighting methods are too noisy, but they are still unable to carry out tasks independently.

What a waste.

More than thirty years later, the Roots were disbanded and relevant information was declassified. Only then did Tetsumaru Aburame realize that he was disliked by the Roots because of the excessive movement of the insect swarm.

He felt extremely lucky, it was great to be disliked.

Recalling the pain of making no progress in researching the insect swarm, the pain of having my wallet eaten up by the insect swarm, and the despair when there was no way forward, I couldn't help but admire that the principle of good and evil interdependent is really an unbreakable truth.

Of course, Aburame Tetsumaru is currently troubled by the next step of the insect swarm, and does not know how to solve the problem of insufficient combat effectiveness.

The first eliminated solution is to take the Aburame Iron Pill yourself and act as the tip of the spear for the entire insect swarm.

After a year of war, his trump card has long been upgraded. His true combat power is certainly much stronger than what he shows, but he will definitely not be able to beat the Jonin.

The war this year was not intense. The Ueno team fought a total of thirty-one battles in the first half of the year. Captain Ueno, as the core, experienced no less than twenty life-and-death crises.

The name Hayato Ueno definitely carries an aura of luck, and he only suffered minor injuries in twenty life-and-death trials.

Aburame Tetsumaru didn't think she had such a powerful talent. When she and her captain faced the Jinchuuriki, the captain lost a bunch of hair. He was so seriously injured that he couldn't be treated on the front line, so he had to return to the village to recuperate for more than a month before he recovered.

Aburame Tetsumaru is just a chuunin and doesn't have a lucky aura. Isn't it just asking for death to stand on the front line?

To be honest, what he is worried about now is happiness. The loss of money is too great and he is not sure about completing the task, but his life is not in danger.

If your strength gradually improves in the future, for example, if you can beat an elite jounin, then don't do it. Why risk it if you can do the job safely?

The second eliminated option is to recruit awesome ninjas to join your team. This depends on your appearance. Again: I don’t have a lucky halo.

The third and only option that has not been ruled out is to cultivate more powerful combat bugs. This plan is being promoted in full swing.

Aburame Tetsumaru can use chakra's wish-fulfilling properties to almost combine insects at will, but the problem is that there is a lack of truly powerful insect blueprints as a reference, such as the giant centipede among the psychic beasts in the hell realm.

Without a ready-made blueprint as a basis, Aburome Iron Pill could only use existing large bugs as a basis and combine them with each other for repeated testing in an attempt to obtain a powerful bug sample.

Well, it was back to the track of fighting for character. Aburame Tetsumaru was very unhappy because the related work had been going on for half a year and still achieved nothing.

After Aburame Tetsumaru sent his two subordinates to sleep, he checked the development status of the insects in the culture tank and picked out all the dead eggs and disposed of them. There was nothing to do today.

Being on the front line, the simple laboratory is very crude and cannot do much.

In the end, there was only one thing left to kill time, and it was also the most exhausting task, which was sorting out the chakra runes.

Before graduating from the ninja school, Aburame Tetsumaru collected all the runes that could be produced by the combination of five seals.

There are 12 single-printed runes, 33 double-printed runes, 165 triple-printed runes, 742 four-printed runes, and 2970 five-printed runes, for a total of 3922 runes.

Higher hand seal combinations are beyond the capabilities of Aburame Tetsumaru, and his hand speed cannot meet the requirements of the six seal combinations.

It was a long and arduous job, which took eight months and left Tiewan with a pair of dark bags under his eyes that would never go away.

After graduation, following Mendeleev's idea of ​​discovering the periodic table of elements, Aburame Tetsumaru marked and arranged the discovered runes, trying to find out the rules and create a periodic table of chakra runes.

As he sorted and compared the runes, Aburame Tetsumaru unexpectedly discovered that the properties of many runes were repeated, and their effects were different in strength and weakness.

Runes with powerful effects will affect or diffract a large number of similarly weak runes. These weak runes are affected by more than one powerful rune, and their attributes appear ever-changing.

However, no matter how wonderful it is, weak runes can be replaced by powerful runes.

Aburame Tetsumaru immediately changed the direction of his research and focused on investigating which runes were powerful runes.

This job is not easy to do. Except for a few single runes, the attributes of most powerful runes are also ever-changing. The effects of the attributes can only be analyzed one by one by comparing them one by one.

Fortunately, Aburame Tetsumaru is not afraid of trouble. He likes this kind of job that requires patience and stability in exchange for success. At least it does not need to test his character.

It was another all-nighter without confirming a new powerful rune. Seeing the dawn, Aburame Tetsumaru calmly packed up his research tools and started doing morning exercises in preparation for a new day of work.

After he finished exercising and prepared breakfast, Uchiha Kei and Kurama Yun woke up. They were still looking very tired. It seemed that they didn't have the energy to take on new tasks today.

Don't accept missions when the front line is in poor condition, as it could be fatal.

Aburame Tetsumaru simply gave her two subordinates a day off, letting them have a good breakfast, arrange restorative training, and continue to rest in the afternoon.

He ran to the mission center to indicate that he would not accept missions today. After the operation was completed, he was informed that it was now a level 2 alert. Teams without missions could not leave the camp at will. Team members could not take personal missions and must be ready to accept orders at all times. Tasks assigned by the department.

Level two alert?

Aburame Tetsumaru scratched her head. This was the most annoying state. She couldn't go anywhere, couldn't do anything, and there was a high probability that she would do nothing at the end of the day and wait in vain.

Just go back to sleep and continue working on the runes when you have had enough sleep.

Aburame Tetsumaru returned to the camp. Uchiha Kei and Kurama Yun were practicing ninjutsu and genjutsu. He naturally stood aside and watched for a while.

Onlookers could not tell anything about Kurama Yun's genjutsu training, but Uchiha Kei's ninjutsu training was very interesting. After practicing for a while, he would open the scroll and read it for a while, and then continue practicing.

Soon Aburame Tetsumaru saw that Uchiha Kei was practicing the family's classic tactics, starting with a fire ball, then connecting to the first offensive tactic of the instantaneous technique, the second offensive tactic of the throwing technique, and the second offensive tactic of the transformation technique. It connects the interference tactics of Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique and the trap tactics of the second Fire Ball Technique.

This tactic sounds very simple, but it is the basic tactic of the Uchiha family, which is famous in the ninja world. The details hidden in it are all family secrets, how to judge the enemy's situation, how to smoothly connect the two stages, how to deal with the output and shock of chakra, etc.

Over the past hundred years, this set of tactics has been improved by countless talented Uchiha, and they have been perfected for a long time. It can be said that it has been imitated, but never surpassed.

The power of the Sharingan is not only reflected in combat. Observation and research on oneself can greatly improve the efficiency of practice, and it has great advantages in family inheritance.

Merely using the Sharingan in battle like the second pillar is a huge waste of the strongest blood successor.
