Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 50 Gradually Taking Control of the Land of Waterfalls

Nanshi acted swiftly and decisively, personally slaughtering several bandit groups in the vicinity before packing the bodies into wooden boxes and having them transported back.

However, over time, the corpse will eventually rot and decompose. Although the insects eat everything, the amount of primal energy they obtain is greatly reduced.

To ensure a stable increase in energy, Shisei Aburame specially created a shadow clone to break the barrier of Takigakure and personally went there to teach him how to use the sealing scroll.

As for these scrolls, they were all made by his own hands.

After all, there's basically nothing to do all day. Aside from maintaining his daily one-hour training to ensure his taijutsu and ninjutsu don't deteriorate, he spends the rest of his time either patrolling, lying down, planting vegetables in the fields, or fishing in the pond.

He thought he would be able to relax, but in reality, there were very few forms of entertainment in the ninja world.

After a few days of free time, he began to study sealing techniques and made a lot of sealing scrolls during this period, which were just right for transporting corpses.

With the guidance of Shisei Aburame, Nanshi quickly learned how to use the sealing scroll.

For a while afterward, the shadow clone was not idle either, passing on some practical Three-Body Technique, Body Instantaneous Movement Technique, as well as some practical illusion and sealing techniques to its subordinates.

The difficulty level is not high, and the number of techniques is not large, with most being D-rank. However, these ninjutsu techniques have been improved by Shisei Aburame, and although they are not difficult, they are extremely practical.

It can be said that as long as you don't encounter a particularly well-rounded Jonin, or an elite Jonin, these ninjutsu can play a certain role; even when dealing with elite Jonin, they can still provide some disruption.

Three days later, Aburame Shisei's shadow clone was also about to dissipate due to exhaustion of chakra.

He suggested to Nan Shi, "If you're relying on yourself, how long will it take you to wipe out the bandits and spies within the Dragon Kingdom? With your strength, it would be best to recruit some people and establish an organization. As for funding, that's not a problem; go find Heiji, and he'll take care of everything for you."

Nan Shi asked, "Sir, don't you need to leave some insect eggs behind?"

"No need." Aburame Zhicheng never intended to give them important positions, and besides, the more they did, the more mistakes they would make.

Currently, he has fed insect eggs to ten people, but only five of them know his true identity, which is more than enough for him.

Nanshi then asked, "But what about the loyalty of these people?"

"I don't need them to be particularly loyal, but I need you to make good use of the worms inside you. They've been accelerated to maturity and are very sensitive to high energy, which will allow you to better defend against and monitor spies."

After Aburame Shisei finished speaking, the clone disappeared. As for what policies the organization should implement, he believed that this subordinate could handle it well.

March has passed in the blink of an eye, the sweltering summer is over, and autumn is just around the corner.

During this period, Takigakure Village has been completely sealed off, strictly prohibiting anyone from going out, and even making it extremely difficult for outsiders to enter.

Most of the ninjas who went out have returned; as for those who did not return, the higher-ups of Takigakure all consider them dead—even if they are not dead, they are considered to have defected, and they will not be accepted back if they want to come back in the future.

During this period, the new leader of Takigakure Village also received letters from the Daimyo of the Dragon Country and several nearby nobles from time to time, as well as various mission appointment letters.

The main reason is that a few nights ago, a powerful organization appeared in the country of Takigakure called the Totoshu.

The organization is mostly composed of wandering samurai and ninjas who spread chakra training methods within the organization. In addition, they also teach basic taijutsu, swordsmanship, and the Three Body Techniques of ninjutsu.

In addition, there will be regular study sessions covering a wide range of knowledge, including basic politics, economics, and military strategy.

These people, under the pretext of suppressing bandits and eliminating enemy spies, carried out a large-scale purge of local gangs and amassed wealth, causing great suffering to some gentry, landlords, and city nobles.

As for why the mountain bandits and outlaws were all wiped out, they would feel sorry for them; those who understand, understand.

The nobles even recruited warriors and gathered a large number of soldiers to besiege and exterminate them on several occasions.

Initially, it did show some success, routing them completely.

However, the other side quickly demonstrated a high degree of organization and discipline, no longer the disorganized mob they had been before.

Especially after their leader, Nanichi, appeared and forcefully killed the ninjas kept by the Daimyo's mansion, the Daimyo and nobles of Takigakure couldn't sit still any longer. They immediately contacted Takigakure, which they hadn't paid attention to for a long time, and provided them with money and food. Their only request was that they send ninjas over as soon as possible to wipe out this vicious organization.

During this period, most of the ninjas in Takigakure Village had nothing to do. Even Shisei Aburame spent most of his days wandering around the village with Naoto and the others.

Yes, although it's called a D-level patrol mission, it actually just involves taking a leisurely stroll around the village every day.

In addition, with the village completely sealed off, Takigakure Village can no longer receive any missions from the outside world.

To prevent the village's ninjas from causing trouble, the four elders racked their brains and finally came up with this method:

That meant assigning them D-rank missions, such as patrolling, building houses, weeding fields, and picking up trash. Tasks that ordinary villagers could do were all handed over to ninjas.

Aburame Shisei knew very well that this method was not a long-term solution.

In fact, it wasn't just him; all the high-ranking members of Takigakure were aware of this matter.

But there are some things they have to do, and some things they have to postpone.

The war outside has now reached a fever pitch. If they do not retreat and avoid direct confrontation, they will easily be drawn into it.

However, recently, due to the Daimyo's constant overtures, the ninjas who had been suppressing their desires for so long have begun to stir.

"Four Elders, we will not participate in the war, but we cannot simply ignore the demands of our daimyo, can we?"

"Yes, that's a lot of money, a full eighty million taels! That's enough for us to buy tons of weapons, armor, and vests, which will not only improve our combat capabilities but also allow us to live a better life!"

Inside the conference hall, a dozen Jonin were discussing among themselves.

But the four elders sitting in the first seat were already in a state of panic, and even had cold sweat dripping down their backs.

Because just last night, they had received orders to stop these ninjas from launching an attack at all costs.

As for why, who knows?

Perhaps the Toto-shoku clan within the land of Taki is also an organization of that person.
