Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 488 Results

Shino Aburame is a guy with an unusually weak presence.

He has always found this trait of his to be extremely annoying.

When he was a child, he would always end up alone when playing with his friends at the amusement park.

They can even get lost when they go out to play with their parents.

Although the Genius watch prevented me from actually getting lost, the feeling of being alone was really unpleasant.

Then it was time for school.

Shino Aburame also has her own friends now.

However, the situation has not improved.

He is still a nobody.

He originally thought that things would continue like this, and that he would be alone for the rest of his life.

However, some students in the class were unaffected by this.

No, or rather, not too much affected by his rather absurd passive way of concealing himself.

Naruto, Sasuke, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Choji, perhaps because they are much stronger than their peers, were also affected, but not to the point that they couldn't directly sense Shino Aburame's presence.

Although if we go to an internet cafe or other places together, we might forget that Shino Aburame even exists after a while, but we'll still remember her the next time we meet.

that's enough.

Shino Aburame thought to herself.

After all, the Aburame clan isn't very popular these days...

Or rather...

They have been unpopular from ancient times to the present.

The Aburame clan is a very special clan, and Yua has absolutely no interest in this clan.

Naturally, they had no interest in the vast amount of land owned by this family.

The Aburame clan is located in the northwest of Konoha, and they own several hills in the northwest of Konoha's inner city.

This land is a very large area, but Youya has no interest in it.

The unique nature of the Aburame clan dictates that they need a large amount of land to raise chakra insects.

and……

That was in the past.

Now...

Raising bees, ants, cicadas, lizards, reptiles... Hmm, it seems like some strange things have gotten mixed in.

Well, actually, Yua felt that the species in Konoha Village were a bit too limited, so she mentioned it to the Aburame clan to try raising more diverse species.

Then the Aburame clan faithfully carried out Yua's orders, making them the third largest clan in Konoha in terms of land area.

However, given the family's habits and abilities, they have absolutely no chance of competing for the position of Hokage.

Their strength isn't particularly high. The Aburame clan's greatest strength lies in their ability to use chakra insects as spies. Unlike drones, which require significant investment, the Aburame clan doesn't need to spend money. Although a small drone with a range of 1,000 kilometers only costs a few hundred thousand ryo, the Aburame clan doesn't need to spend any money.

Not only are they weak, but the Aburame clan also has another problem...

Because of their family structure, no one wanted to marry or be married to someone from the Aburame clan.

After all, no one wants their husband (wife) to open their clothes and find them full of bugs.

When the women of the oil-producing tribe heard about this, they were furious and retorted, "What?! Open your clothes?! We keep the bugs inside our bodies!"

Then even fewer people wanted to play with the oil-loving women.

In fact, the Aburame clan was the first in Konoha to respond to Yua's call.

Their clansmen used to receive year-end bonuses from Youya every year, and even though Youya didn't say anything, they felt it was too much to handle.

Later, when You Ya casually mentioned it, they took it to heart and started all sorts of aquaculture. Now, the ecology of several mountains has been completely transformed by them.

They naturally made a fortune.

Therefore, everyone in the Aburame clan held Yua in the highest esteem.

And today...

Shino Aburame received a message from Yua to the Aburame clan.

"The Hokage gave me an order?" Shino Aburame was taken aback, then immediately nodded seriously. "No problem, I will do my best to complete the mission. As for why, it's because the Hokage has been incredibly kind to our Aburame clan."

Aburame Shino's parents also nodded with serious expressions.

To be fair, Shino Aburame's parents weren't actually that gloomy; they just didn't like to talk much because of their personalities.

After all, not everyone is like Sasuke and Naruto, who have no objection to the Aburame clan raising insects on their bodies.

Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, Shino Aburame's parents had experienced malice and ridicule from others to varying degrees.

Well, actually, most of the time, what Youya does is just ordinary stuff for him.

However, for some special people, the ordinary things that You Ya did were enough for them to remember and be grateful for.

Of course, this doesn't just apply to the Aburame clan; there are many, many more people like them in Konoha.

Afterwards, Shino Aburame received new orders from her parents.

Despite some doubts, Shino Aburame still went to the research institute in Konoha Village.

In the research institute, he encountered two men who sent chills down his spine...

Yeah, two Orochimarus.

As mentioned before, the corpse of that bastard Urashiki Otsutsuki is in Konoha. Although other ninja villages also want it, in reality, Yua doesn't understand chakra research, since his mind is more focused on various scientific research.

He certainly doesn't know as much about chakra as he does.

However, Orochimaru is definitely a talent in this area.

So Yua lured Orochimaru over, and the bait was the corpse of Urashiki Otsutsuki.

It is quite obvious that, with the two Orochimarus working together, they achieved results in just over a month.

Although it's a small thing, having achieved something means having something to show for it.

However, achieving results is one thing, but how to translate those results into benefits for Konoha Village itself is another.

You Ya could never directly conduct human experiments; that would be harmful.

After learning about the characteristics proposed by Orochimaru, Yua summoned Shino Aburame to this place.

Shino Aburame fully cooperated with Orochimaru until a week later...

……

One week later, at the Konoha Ninja Academy:

"Haa... How boring..." Naruto stretched out his arms while lying on the table.

In the classroom, Hinata, who was sitting in the second row, turned her head to look at Naruto, who was sitting in the second-to-last row behind. After thinking for a moment, Hinata looked away and continued to look at the book in her hand called Introduction to Psychology.

These are books on the third floor of the library. Since Hinata is not yet an adult, her solution is to copy this book down and then study it carefully.

This method was also used when people from other villages came to Konoha to learn.

Although I still have feelings for Naruto, Hinata is now...

I just want to learn more...

Just then, Iruka walked into the classroom.

"Everyone, I'm granting you special permission today to conduct a practical test. I need you all to assemble on the playground within one minute."
