Chapter 6: Became an A-Rank Rogue Ninja
"I will deal with the matter of Shisei Aburame seriously. He murdered Shiku Yuhi and his comrade; the nature of his actions is extremely heinous. I have already issued an A-rank rogue ninja warrant with a bounty of 28 million ryo."
"Hiruzen, in that case, let Root handle the task of eliminating the rogue ninja."
Shimura Danzo spoke with righteous indignation, but then changed the subject and revealed his true purpose: "However, Root just lost a third of its men in the north, and I need to replenish our fighting strength, preferably with high-potential experts."
"Danzo, you and I both know perfectly well why Aburame Shisei defected."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a document out of his desk drawer and continued, "Some clan leaders and elders came to see me yesterday. You've been forcibly conscripting their clansmen recently, which has angered them."
"During wartime, the interests of the village must be the top priority."
"But we also need to be mindful of our approach." Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the documents and patiently advised, "Danzo, I know you've sacrificed a lot for the village, but some things can't be rushed. Ninjas are human too; they have feelings and the right to choose."
Danzo suddenly sneered, "Hiruzen, are you accusing me? Don't forget, you also tacitly approved this; it's the price Orochimaru paid for not contacting Root beforehand."
A brief silence fell over the office. Just then, a knock broke the silence.
"Come in."
An ANBU member pushed open the door and knelt on one knee: "Hokage-sama, the widow of Jonin Yuhi Shinku has passed away in the hospital. The baby was born prematurely and is currently in stable condition, but requires long-term monitoring."
Hiruzen Sarutobi silently closed his eyes; this time, he seemed truly enraged.
Aburame Shisei has given the ninja world another orphan.
After a long pause, he loosened his fist: "Arrange for the best medical ninjas, make sure the child is saved, and all expenses will be covered by my personal account."
"Yes." The ANBU withdrew.
"Hiruzen, you're still holding back. Look at the damage Aburame Shisei has caused. If we don't deal with him quickly, the other major nations will think Konoha is weak, and the consequences will continue to escalate."
"He left in the west. I will inform Orochimaru and Jiraiya to keep an eye on his movements at the border and resolve this matter as soon as possible."
Seeing Hiruzen's change in attitude, Danzo pressed his advantage: "Furthermore, regarding Orochimaru, I still hope he can come to Root. His talents should be used in the right place..."
"Don't mention Orochimaru again." Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted forcefully, uttering his oft-repeated words, "Danzo, I am the Hokage."
"Hiruzen, you'll regret this." Shimura Danzo was finally enraged by these words and slammed the door shut as he left.
These two former partners once again parted ways on bad terms due to their respective disagreements.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up by the window, sunlight shining on the Hokage Rock, where three statues stood in a row, representing responsibility and inheritance.
But now, Konoha is suffocating him. At only forty-something years old, he has already contracted nicotine lung disease.
He took a deep drag of his cigarette and coughed lightly.
He had no regrets about Aburame Shisei; even if he had to do it all over again, he would still make the same choice.
This is not just about weighing the pros and cons, nor is it about failing to see Shisei Aburame's potential. The most important thing is that the child does not possess the Will of Fire.
After a long while, he instructed the Anbu, "Issue the wanted posters for the traitorous ninja, and then inform Orochimaru and Jiraiya to kill the traitor as soon as possible."
After flying for another two hours, Aburame Shisei landed near a waterfall.
This is already the border of the Land of Fire. The Land of Grass is another 150 miles to the west, but he doesn't plan to go any further.
During the war, the Grass Country was a war preparedness zone with frequent border patrols, so he also needed to rest and adjust his condition.
The sound of the waterfall masked other noises, providing natural cover. He released his Destruction Insects, creating a three-kilometer-wide perimeter, before sitting down and taking out his dry rations from his ninja tool pouch.
The soldiers' rations tasted as bad as ever, but unfortunately he left in a hurry and didn't bring any food with him, only some seasonings he had made himself.
After the continuous battles, his chakra was almost depleted, if not completely exhausted.
So for now, we can only make do with military rations to recover our strength. As for good food, we can only consider that after things stabilize.
After swallowing a few military ration pills and regaining some strength, Yu Nu Zhicheng jumped into the water and caught some fish.
As he swam in the water, he suddenly murmured to himself, "So this is what it feels like to be alive. I almost forgot."
He transmigrated to the ninja world for eighteen years, and at the age of four, his memories were completely integrated. With a child's body and an adult's mind, looking at the unfamiliar world and at himself, he once thought he was dreaming.
Undeniably, in my previous life, I was indeed drawn to the passion and all sorts of amazing ninjutsu in anime.
However, after truly understanding the ninja world, the reality is that true ninjas are people who will stop at nothing to complete their missions and achieve their goals.
Therefore, he resisted it internally, a natural aversion.
At the age of six, he received a family tradition to raise insects inside his body and turn his body into an insect nest.
His instinct was to resist, but to no avail. It was then that he discovered his special ability.
A special petri dish can obtain energy by hunting living beings, accelerate time, and thus speed up the evolution of species in the petri dish.
The petri dish has an interior space only the size of a palm. It is spiritually bound to him and highly integrated with him, and can only cultivate small insects, or things like bacteria and viruses.
In addition to the cultivation layer, there is also a storage space. When the insects enter the storage space, they will enter a dormant state. At this time, they do not need to be provided with food or chakra. However, once it is used, some insects must eat.
Therefore, his body was not hollowed out by insects like other members of the Oil Woman tribe.
Because he didn't like killing, he didn't use the culture dish much in the early stages. It wasn't until the war started and he arrived on the battlefield that he unleashed his full power, using insects to smuggle some corpses and obtain energy.
The corrosive insects, the invisible scorpions, the stinking insects, and these floating insects that can carry him are all excellent insect species that he has cultivated in petri dishes in recent years.
buzzing-
The petri dish on my chest was stirring; the insects were hungry.
The worm is the best of the benign mutations and can completely replace the parasitic worm.
It eats everything, but its only drawback is that it needs to consume a lot of energy after each battle, and if it is not fed for a long time, a large number of people will starve to death.
"Your appetites are getting bigger and bigger. Don't worry, the pests are back, and they've found a bandit stronghold nearby."
