Create a swarm technology tree in Konoha

Having tasted the benefits of chemical gene cutting, Aburame Tetsumaru naturally began to look forward to further gene editing technology, which can operate in units of base pairs.

First of all, the accuracy of the insight must break through the nanometer range into the picometer range, so that it can be identified and accurately recorded.

Then, the accuracy of insight was achieved, and tools were able to operate base pairs. Chemical tools were not good and were too rough for base pairs.

The highest level that Aburame Tetsumaru can reach now is determined by the ability to observe the tools and operate the tools. There is still hope for observing the tools, but the biggest problem is the ones operating the tools.

But this is all in the future, and now he has a new target: the giant desert insect.

The advice given by Orochimaru was to find real giant bugs as a reference, and there was intelligence showing that there were traces of giant bugs in the desert. This information was reported by Hatake Sakumo, and it was very reliable.

This is life-saving timely rain, it's really great.

Aburame Tetsumaru always thought he got the chance. After the war, he applied to travel for a few years to find those giant insects channeled by the hell realm, or sneak into Kumogakure's forbidden turtle island.

After Orochimaru's reminder, he finally remembered that there are giant bugs in the desert of the Land of Wind, and there are at least two kinds, social ants with a body length of more than 8 meters, and four ants with a body length of more than 40 meters. Giant scorpion with tail.

Both bugs fit his expectations perfectly, so perfect.

The several giant bugs he has now are able to grow to such a large size because they all rely on the genes of palm-sized bugs. Their life systems are so fragile that they completely rely on symbiotic bugs and chakra runes to make up for it.

That is to say, most of the strengthening methods are used to maintain the survival of the insects, and almost none are used to enhance the combat effectiveness. They all rely on the size advantage of the insects themselves to fight.

If we can get natural giant bug samples, we can fully strengthen the defense, speed and attack. This is what giant bugs should be like.

…

Aburame Tetsumaru detoured around Konoha Village and made a special trip home. He pretended to adjust the configuration of the psychic insects in the psychic formation, and then ran towards Kawa no Kuni.

This time he went home to cover up the existence of the Brood. He planned to keep the Brood a secret for as long as he could. After all, it was one of the most important trump cards.

When leaving the village, Aburame Tetsumaru moved openly with two giant bugs, causing a commotion in the village. Some people were even frightened and fainted on the spot. He was also pulled by Uchiha to drink tea for a while.

However, because of Uchiha Kei's relationship, there was no conflict and he was quickly released.

He had no choice but to reveal the Dao Mantis. Although the Dao Mantis was very thin, it was very tall and could only be accommodated in the largest insect nests, and only one of them could be accommodated.

So if you want to let Dao Mantis go to the battlefield, most of them can only run over with their own legs, because they have never considered this issue before, and now they have to test it before they go to the battlefield.

Sure enough, something went wrong during the long-distance march. After marching continuously for 300 kilometers, the two mantises died suddenly half an hour apart. The cause of death was both organ failure.

This kind of forcibly enlarged insect was really useless. It couldn't control its body at all, and it didn't even feel tired. It actually ran to death like this.

Aburame Tetsumaru let out a long breath, not only to test a major problem, but also to mourn the cost of the Death Knife Mantis, and then channeled a new mantis without hesitation and continued the test.

…

The Kingdom of Sichuan is sandwiched between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire. It is a famous buffer zone and a natural battlefield during wars.

Seventy percent of the huge rainfall in the Kingdom of Rain flows to the Kingdom of Rivers. In this country of long and narrow valleys running north to south, countless rivers flowing southward are formed, and eventually merge into the sea.

The rivers converged into a large river. Under the huge gap between high in the north and low in the south, the river surged, cutting the country of Sichuan into countless north-south canyons, causing the east-west traffic to be cut off.

The raging river also blew away the soil of Kawa no Kuni. Although Kawa no Kuni is densely forested, it lacks flat land suitable for farming and has become a famously poor country. Only the southern part of the country has alluvial plains, and most of the population and valleys are hidden. The village is also in the south.

Of course, the terrain of the Kingdom of Sichuan can only block the baggage, but it is particularly suitable for the activities of the ninja team, and the road leading to the south from the two countries of Wind and Fire is very close to the border of the Kingdom of Sichuan.

The geographical environment determines that the Kingdom of Sichuan is the main battlefield when the two countries are at war. The southern plain is suitable for large army operations and is the main battlefield. The central part is suitable for infiltration attacks and is the secondary battlefield.

Both countries must control the Kingdom of Sichuan to prevent the other party from infiltrating, ensure their own transportation lines, and then launch an attack through the southern plains.

Sunagakure Village had the upper hand in the early stage, controlled the Kingdom of Sichuan, and continued to attack the Kingdom of Fire.

With the sudden rise of Konoha's White Fang, they killed more than thirty Jonin of Sunagakure, most of whom were puppet masters. This abruptly reversed the combat power of both sides, and the battle line was pushed back to the Kingdom of Wind.

After Konoha switched to an offensive posture in Kawa no Kuni, it faced the same dilemma as Sunagakure. It had to take into account the attack on the southern plains and the defense of Kawa no Kuni at the same time.

At that time, Konoha was already fighting in three directions, and the Sandaime Hokage drew out the troops of Kawanoguni and Hatake Sakumo to support the battlefields in several other directions.

This year, the form of the war has evolved in favor of Konoha, with the situation on several battlefields stabilizing, especially the victory on all four battlefields on the Eastern Front, which temporarily drove the Kingdom of Water out of the mainland.

Looking around, four ninja villages are entangled in a melee on the battlefield of the Land of Rain. Kumogakure of the Land of the Country has full potential and restrains his minions. Kirigakure of the East is the weakest, but is the most difficult to attack because he is far away from the sea.

Only the Sand Ninjas were weak in national strength and were in obvious decline, and the desert was not considered an extinct territory for the Ninjas.

Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to focus on the Kingdom of Wind this year and defeat Sunagakure Village within half a year and make them withdraw.

The Hokage's determination has been made, and Konoha Village has mobilized elites from various fronts, such as the Land of Waves, the Land of Whirlpools, the Land of Thunder, and the Land of Grass. Hundreds of elite ninjas began to gather, including Shigesaku Hatake, who also came from the Land of Thunder. was recalled.

When Aburame Tetsumaru was on his way, he was a little excited when he thought that he would see Konoha White Fang this time.

In the eleven years since his awakening, he has met many celebrities in the plot, including the Third Hokage, the Sannin, and Danzo. This time he returned to the village and also met Minato and Kushina. Among the strong men at this level, only Konoha White Fang and Evil Eye Fugaku Haven't seen it yet.

Konoha White Fang Hatake Shigesaku is currently the most prestigious ninja in Konoha, no one, because his record is unmatched.

Neither can the Sandaime Hokage. He has never been on the battlefield since he became Hokage. No matter how much he publicizes, he can't fabricate his record.

Danzo Shimura first lost to Hanzo Amegakure, and then to Chiyo Sunagakure. Finally, he was disfigured and blinded by Lao Murasaki. After a series of defeats, he was completely humiliated. He can be regarded as the goalkeeper of Kage-level ninjas.

The reputation of the Konoha Sannin is getting louder and louder day by day, but their record is just that they did not suffer a disastrous defeat against Chiyo and Hanzo. In the final analysis, they are all defeats.

Hatake Sakumo is completely different. He has a record of winning every battle. He killed 34 Sunagakure jounin in the Kingdom of Kawakawa, 11 Kirigakure jonin in the Land of Waves, and 13 Kumogakure jonin in the Land of Thunder. Including the two-tailed jinchūriki.

It's shocking to hear, he is the God of Killing in Konoha, a firefighter, he goes wherever there is danger.

No matter which battlefield he went to, White Fang was responsible for crisscrossing the battlefield behind enemy lines, killing and killing until he could reverse the situation. His value had jumped from the tactical level to the strategic level.

The fame of Shigesaku Hatake is so great that the Konoha Ninjas more than 20 years later cannot understand it at all, just like those born in 1995 have a hard time understanding the popularity of Jay Chou, let alone how crazy MJ can be in his prime.

It's just that in Konoha, a good reputation often turns into a bad thing.

After the war, Hatake Shigesaku and Uchiha Fugaku were suppressed one after another.

The first step was very successful. Fugaku had the temperament of an old tortoise. When faced with pressure, he immediately turned into a coward. He was not aggressive at all.

The second step failed, White Fang committed suicide in anger, Konoha's top combat power was suddenly cut in half, and it was simply defeated without defeat.

In short, seize the opportunity to meet her, otherwise you will regret it in the future if you don't.

…

After four days of running wildly, Aburame Tetsumaru killed six sword mantises and finally reached the southern part of Kawa no Kuni.

The frontline camp is on the seaside in the southwest corner of the Country of Fire, next to the alluvial plain in the south of the Country of Sichuan. Through this small plain is the Country of Wind.

There was still one day left before the reporting time specified in the transfer order. Aburame Tetsumaru went to the mission center to observe and found that half of the free missions released were to build bridges and guard bridges.

Not bad, Aburame Tetsumaru thought to himself, if he has not been assigned defense tasks, he can lead a team to receive these tasks, which is safer than protecting the transport team in the rear.

The rivers on the estuary plain are densely packed, and the corresponding bridges are exaggeratedly numerous, much more than the total number of Sunagakure jonins. Therefore, the Sunagakure ninjas who interfere with the construction of bridges can only be mainly chuunin teams.

Missions related to building bridges have a high probability of encountering enemy harassment, but without jounin, they are B-level missions.

The escort mission is just the opposite, because the routes are all in the Country of Fire, and it is extremely difficult to infiltrate from the Kawa Country occupied by Konoha. Every Sunagakure team that successfully infiltrates is definitely not an ordinary team.

These escort missions are usually C-level. Once a battle occurs, they are A-level, which is extremely dangerous.

After understanding the mission, Aburame Tetsumaru walked around the entire camp again, keeping the environment around the camp and the functional facilities in the camp firmly in mind.

Finally, based on this information, he figured out where was suitable for training, where was suitable for exercises, and where was suitable for teaching. After thinking about it, he went to report.

After completing the registration and receiving the appointment letter, Aburame Tetsumaru's new title was the captain of Team 121, and his subordinates were three recently graduated genin, Nara Yoshino, Inuzukao, and Uchiha Hiro.

As expected of a jounin, the subordinates were all from big families, but Aburame Tetsumaru had no impression of any of them, and they were not the parents of the little strong ones. And there is a Nara in the team, which is a bit strange. Normally, the group of Ino, Deer and Butterfly should not be broken up, but the broken ones should be regrouped. After all, they are only ten years old.

Through the ninja at the mission center, Aburame Tetsumaru gave an order to his three subordinates to gather at Training Ground No. 1 tomorrow morning.

Training Ground No. 1 is an open space named by Tetsumaru Aburame. He specially left three hand-drawn maps with prominent marks on several of the training grounds he selected.

With the status of captain, he can receive tasks. He tried to receive the bridge task three days later, but was told that these tasks can only be released after the completion of pre-requisite tasks and cannot be booked in advance.

Aburame Tetsumaru shrugged and left the mission center, waiting for the team to get used up before choosing missions.

…

In addition to more than a hundred elites, Konoha also sent four thousand additional ninjas, including graduates, family ninjas, and those who were recuperating in the village and those who were holding back.

When the Kawa no Kuni camp was built, it was expected to have a size of 4,000 people. Now more than 7,000 people have poured in, making it extremely crowded.

Even in the middle of the night, there were countless people walking back and forth, making it impossible to rest. Aburame Tetsumaru dismantled the tent and moved it to Camp 1 outside the camp. Anyway, the Aburame family was least afraid of mosquitoes.

After moving, he slept peacefully until the next morning, when Aburame Tetsumaru's bug informed him that three little ninjas had arrived.

He knew that his men were coming.

The gathering time in the order was six o'clock, but it was only early five o'clock now. These three children were quite active.

Aburame Tetsumaru was not in a hurry, and got up, dressed, and tidied up step by step, while observing the three children through insects.

…

The first one to arrive was Uchiha Hiro, a black-haired boy wearing clothes with the Uchiha clan emblem printed on the back.

After he arrived, he took out the map to confirm, then jumped to the tree on the edge of the clearing, folded his arms, leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes and rested.

Then there was Inuzukao, face painted, leading a full-grown slender-waisted hound.

Finally, there is the lazy-looking pineapple head, Nara Yoshino.

When Nara Yoshino arrived, Uchiha Hiro jumped down from the tree, and the three of them stood in the middle of the open space, forming a triangle and looking at each other.

"Hiro Uchiha."

"I know, I am the oldest one, I am Inuzukao."

"Oh, I am Nara Yoshino."

"It is indeed Nara, but why did you team up with us?" Uchiha Hiro expressed his doubts.

Nara Yoshino shook his head and said nothing.

The other two people didn't ask further. There are always many tragedies in war years.

Uchiha Hiro automatically positioned himself as the captain and took the initiative to speak: "We each report what we are good at. The captain may be tested later."

"I propose, let me speak first. I am good at fire escape, Uchiha shuriken, Uchiha swordsmanship, and a little bit of illusion."

"Hmph, you stinky Uchiha. I'm good at taijutsu and Inuzuka secret arts, and I'm better at tracking."

"As for me, I just know a little bit about shadow secrets and can do some auxiliary work."

Nara Yoshino glanced at Uchiha and acquiesced that Uchiha Hiro had obtained the power of team leader.

Uchiha Hiro looked at his two teammates. One of them was lazy and the other was reckless. They were not qualified to cooperate with him, and he felt somewhat dissatisfied.

"Among the three of us, I am the main attacker, Stinky Dog is responsible for reconnaissance and storming, and Pineapple Head is responsible for assisting. The configuration is quite reasonable."

"Hey, who is the stinky dog? Please speak politely."

"You were the one who said 'stinky Uchiha' first. Is there a problem?"

"I..." Hiro Uchiha blocked him, but he couldn't reply. Veins popped out on Inuzukao's forehead.

Nara Yoshino quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, we are all teammates in the same team."

A real fight would be even more troublesome. He changed the subject: "Hong, what information do you have about the captain?"

"Nothing special." Uchiha Hiro curled his lips, "I heard that the captain is from the Aburame clan and has just been promoted to special jounin. We are his first batch of subordinates as special jounin."

After the demise of the Senju, the Uchiha family was undoubtedly the most powerful family in Konoha, but their relationship with the Hokage family was very bad, and the news was very limited.

Another wealthy family, the Byakugan family, is similar, but the Byakugan has high strategic value and is popular everywhere, so the situation is better.

The Nara family is particularly smart. They have people serving in various departments, especially the main staff members on the front lines. In terms of being well-informed, they are second only to the Yamanaka clan in charge of intelligence.

However, the smart Nara clan adheres to the principle of confidentiality and will not talk nonsense to the younger generation. Therefore, Nara Yoshino only knows about the ant candy. After all, the Aburame clan rents a large area of ​​land in Nara.

"My family has some connections with the Aburame clan. I heard that he is a very good business man and very good at protecting his subordinates, but I don't know much about the specific situation."
