Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 189 Hiruko: No problem, leave the strengthening to me!

Seeing Shennong's devastated expression, Uchiha Teru still offered some words of comfort.

"You can inscribe a hundred White Zetsu into a sorcerer every day, and it will only take you three short years to complete the task."

Shennong did not respond to Uchiha Hikaru's words; he wanted to leave the Akatsuki organization immediately.

To inscribe the techniques of physical regeneration and physical activation into 100,000 White Zetsu—even cattle and horses wouldn't be exploited like this!

Do you have some misunderstanding about quantity?

That's 100,000!

Shennong looked utterly dejected, but when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

He has already taken the benefits from the Akatsuki, so he can forget about getting rid of their control.

Whether it was the powerful masked Madara, the leader with the Rinnegan, or the White Zetsu with 100,000 clones, these made Shennong lose his will to resist. These were not people that he, a mere former leader of the Hidden Village, could contend with.

"Don't worry, you're not the only one helping White Zetsu improve his strength. There will be others with you. You can discuss it together and maybe come up with a simple and easy method."

"You must believe that the future is bright, that the current difficulties are temporary, and that perseverance leads to victory!"

"Now you should rest well. Once all the researchers have arrived, you will immediately begin to enhance the strength of the White Zetsu."

Hearing Uchiha Hui's words of comfort, Shennong felt much better. Thankfully, he wasn't the only one suffering. He forced a smile.

"Okay, I'll use this time to study the Zero-Tails and the Eight Gates."

Shennong walked into the room assigned to him in a daze.

……

A secret experimental base.

Uchiha Akira's figure suddenly appeared not far away, and White Zetsu emerged from the side.

"This is the research base of Hiruko that you are looking for."

"Very good. Once Hiruko joins the organization, we can begin the White Zetsu enhancement plan."

"White Zetsu is too weak. It might not even be able to defeat a Chunin. It's not a qualified biological weapon at all."

Black Zetsu fell silent upon hearing Uchiha Teru's words.

Black Zetsu also felt that White Zetsu was too weak, barely good enough for reconnaissance; using them in combat was a joke. (Except for Uzumaki White Zetsu.)

For a thousand years, Black Zetsu never even considered using White Zetsu to achieve his goal.

Even if 100,000 White Zetsu are revealed now, it's only as cannon fodder for the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan; there's no intention to let the White Zetsu play a significant role.

Black Zetsu was now somewhat puzzled. He didn't know why his mother had created White Zetsu. Could these lowly creatures really resist the Otsutsuki pursuers, whom even his mother feared?

Therefore, after Uchiha Akira proposed the plan to strengthen White Zetsu, Black Zetsu immediately agreed.

All 100,000 White Zetsu will eventually become the power of their mother; it would be good if it could strengthen them.

Inside the experimental base.

"The Demon Sprout Technique is now perfected and can be used on me."

Hiruko watched with delight as the Oni-Garaku experiment was a success once again.

Hiruko was a ninja in the same class as the Sannin during her time at the Ninja Academy, but her talent was quite ordinary.

In order to catch up with the three, Hiruko disregarded his physical condition and spared no effort to follow in their footsteps.

But he still looked down on the three legendary ninjas. At that moment, he realized that the talents of different ninjas were not the same.

Some ninjas can easily become Chunin or Jonin; while others, even if they give it their all, can only reach the Genin level.

Therefore, Hiruko began to risk his life to research the forbidden technique—the Demon Sprout Technique!

For this, he was willing to break Konoha's taboos, abandon any obstacles, and even turn against his former friends.

But... power is such a sweet and delicious thing. Even knowing it's dangerous and leads to self-destruction, you still can't help but touch it.

"Has the Ghost Sprout Technique been perfected? It seems I've arrived just in time."

"Who?!"

Hiruko immediately moved away from the source of life, took out a kunai, and looked warily at the masked man who had suddenly appeared.

Hiruko did not underestimate this masked man; the fact that he could arrive at his side silently already spoke volumes.

It should be noted that Hiruko had placed many summoned beasts around him, all of which were experimental subjects of Kiroya.

"The Demon Sprout Technique is a ninjutsu that can fuse with ninjas or summoned beasts. Once fused with the user, the user will gain the abilities of the fused individual. It can even fuse with bloodline limits."

Hiruko frowned upon hearing the masked man's words.

The technique of Oni-Garra was perfected step by step by Hiruko, and it was never shown to the public.

How did the masked man know that?

"Sharingan, you're from the Uchiha clan?"

"I am... Uchiha Madara."

"Impossible! Although I don't know why you're impersonating Uchiha Madara, you've come at the perfect time. My Demon Sprout Technique just happens to lack materials. Be my first sacrifice!"

Hiruko formed hand seals, and strange black fleshy buds appeared on his body, constantly wriggling.

"Give me your bloodline! I'll make good use of your Sharingan!"

The black fleshy bud rushed towards Uchiha Akira, like a long black snake.

that moment.

With a few flashes of light, the black flesh was cleaved into pieces, and Hiruko's body was also slashed.

"Ban, why did you kill Hiruko? Now I have no way to improve my strength."

White Zetsu complained to the side, saying that it was always looked down upon because of its weak strength, especially by Black Zetsu, who kept calling it a lowly creature.

I am a lower being, so don't try to take over my body! You're taking over my body while calling me a lower being.

Excessive!

Having finally found an opportunity to improve his strength, Bai Jue was unwilling to give it up.

"Don't worry, Hiruko has modified his body, he won't die that easily."

"Besides, it doesn't matter if he dies. The information on Oni-Garara is right here. If all else fails, we can use Impure World Reincarnation."

As Uchiha Kagura finished speaking, Hiruko's body, which had been almost cut in two, underwent a strange change.

Numerous silk threads covered the tattered body, much like Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear, piecing his body back together.

"Are you awake now? You'd better understand the difference between us, and don't do anything stupid again."

"I understand, I will do as you command."

Hiruko felt that the enemy was too strong and that he needed to be patient.

"The purpose of my visit is to invite you to join the Akatsuki organization, and incidentally, to use your Oni-Garuru to enhance the power of the White Zetsu beside me."

"White Zetsu?"

Hiruko glanced at the White Zetsu beside the masked man and nodded.

"The Akatsuki's strength is not as simple as you think. If you are willing to join the Akatsuki, we will capture Bloodline Limit ninjas for you."

"Furthermore, we will provide you with ample opportunities to practice the Oni-Garra Technique, ensuring that you gain sufficient proficiency in it so that you can perform it perfectly even with your eyes closed."

White Zetsu and Black Zetsu, who were standing to the side, did not refute Uchiha Teru's words.

One hundred thousand White Zetsu, one hundred thousand opportunities to practice, were enough for Hiruko to take his understanding of the Oni-Garaku technique to the next level.

"No problem, I'm willing to join Akatsuki."

"The Demon Sprout Technique is already quite perfect; leave the strengthening of the White Zetsu to me!"

Hiruko had no idea that the last person to say those words was now regretting it inside the Akatsuki base.

I wish I could slap myself twice.
