Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

A strange yet refreshing family.

He felt somewhat uncomfortable, but after a moment's thought, he said, "I'll choose some of them. The nature of that power is more of a matter of chance, and I'm not sure which one I can absorb and evolve from."

"Okay, come with me."

Aburame Shiki walked ahead and was the first to enter the forest.

Once inside the forest, he sprinkled a bottle of medicine.

Chiba sniffed.

"This potion is probably used to attract insects, right?"

"Uh, that's right."

Is there even a need to ask that?

Yu Nu Zhiwei was somewhat puzzled.

Chiba pondered for a moment and said, "There is a drug here that is similar in composition to the poison you used before."

"?!!!"

Zhiwei was first confused, then surprised, "You can even smell that?"

"The scent of Cordyceps is quite unique. The amount of Cordyceps in poisons is very small, so most people can't smell it."

Chiba replied.

Yu Nu Zhiwei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Cordyceps sinensis is indeed the main ingredient in the medicine, but what Chiba doesn't know is that this herb is only found in Konoha, and it's basically gone in other places.

The reason for this is naturally related to the Root and Aburame clans.

The fact that the other party possesses this medicinal herb makes their identity increasingly clear.

Orochimaru!

While there is a possibility that other villages might steal and frame him, the probability is far lower than Orochimaru's.

"I understand, thank you Chiba-kun."

Yu Nuzhi's expression was serious.

The expression on the root is even more subtle.

Orochimaru's creation of a poison specifically targeting parasites couldn't help but make him suspicious. Could it be...?

That guy is targeting the root of the problem?

"Chiba-kun, have you studied that poison?"

Aburame Muta frowned slightly.

"I saw it once in the lab."

"..."

She clearly didn't believe it.

Chiba didn't explain, he just smiled.

Yu Nuzhi shook her head slightly and said, "Let's not worry about that for now. What should we do later?"

"You convert a batch first, and I'll take a look at the process."

Chiba did not draw a direct conclusion.

Muta could tell that the clan chief didn't want to delve into the matter, so he didn't say anything and just watched from the sidelines.

Soon, the insects swarmed over.

The three were elites of their clan. When they attacked together, the swarm of insects that surrounded them was quickly affected by their respective parasitic insects and began to evolve into parasitic insects.

Chiba uses her senses to observe the changes in the parasites.

After observing it carefully, he seemed to be deep in thought, then took out his notebook and began to draw something simple.

The other three observed silently.

Is he drawing the morphological changes of insects?

"What's the use of these?"

Ask questions by starting with the root.

He was only a few years older than Chiba, so he didn't feel any pressure and asked questions whenever he had them.

"Find the most suitable stage for releasing special chakra. Of course, different stages may not necessarily be different; this is just a simple conjecture and attempt."

Chiba drew three arrows in the process.

In the first stage, the insect is "infected" by the chakra of the parasitic insect.

The second stage is mutation and evolution.

The third stage is assimilation.

The parasitic insects are of different species. At first, the insects fought each other, but after the third stage, they stopped fighting and became like members of the same species.

Chiba calls it assimilation.

Then, he drew a line under the second and third phases.

These two stages can be tested.

Aburame Torune and Aburame Muta looked at each other, both filled with shock.

They certainly knew these things, but they were knowledge accumulated by the family through years of observation and summarization.

Chiba only observed it once.

They simply couldn't believe it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

Chapter 78 To guard a secret technique in vain is a waste of resources.

"We will make several control groups for the second stage, the third stage, and the adult stage, to facilitate the analysis later."

Chiba closed his notebook.

While the younger generation was still in surprise, Aburame Shiki had already quietly begun to transform the insects.

He's used to it.

As the clan leader, Aburame Zhiwei was not so impulsive or careless.

If he hadn't been convinced by Chiba, how could he have readily agreed?

This child is a genius. Now that everyone needs each other, this is the opportunity for the oil woman's family.

Once the opportunity is missed, it's hard to say who will need whom once the other person has grown up.

Chiba concentrated intently, carefully observing the insect's movements, and then...

As soon as they showed the slightest change, he immediately extracted and released Sage Chakra, enveloping the still evolving parasitic insects.

"Yes, this time we'll start intervening from the third phase."

Chiba shook his head: "They've absorbed special chakra; whether they'll succeed remains to be seen."

The only concern is, who will listen to the bad insects when they are sent?

"Shall we move on to the next group?"

Oil Girl Zhiwei hurriedly asked.

"what's next?"

but.

"Success?"

Then come the adult insects.

The three of them, Shiki, Toru, and Muta, will release the parasitic insects and then supply them with Sage Chakra. Those that can absorb Sage Chakra will be selected.

Initially, there was very little chakra, but it gradually increased over time.

Compared to the potential gains, this risk is worth taking!

During the process, Chiba used chakra threads to pick out two at a time, and by the time the insects became parasitic worms, ten bottles had been filled.

The clan leader's eyes were sharp and discerning!

That's simple.

This special chakra is too powerful. If the insect can absorb it and evolve, a contract slot will not be a problem at all.

If parasites become a sacred place, what do mere quotas matter?

Do not!

There can be more than one; even Chiba's successors and family members can join if needed.

At this moment, Aburame Torune and Aburame Muta clearly realized—

Having had experience before, everyone was familiar with the process.

They have some concerns about this.

Soon, twelve insects at different stages were put into the bottle.

"This kind of power accumulates and changes over a very long period of time. Do you have a way to track its location after it is released?"

Chiba looked at Shiki Aburame.

The oil woman's family is so big, surely they have some kind of trick up their sleeve?

Zhiwei remained silent for a moment.

It's not difficult, but since they didn't have this need before, they naturally wouldn't research it.

If you ask him now, of course there is no answer.
