Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 55 Completely Recapture the Caravan

A few days later, Kurosaki Ichiro, who had recovered his health, appeared beside Aburame Shisei, and more than a dozen guards with strength comparable to Jonin appeared in the bunker.

These ninjas are still inhabited by a new generation of symbiotic parasites.

Even with the use of ninjutsu to catalyze the outbreak, it will still be a year before the insects fully erupt.

During this period, their physical attributes will continue to improve slowly, so they will not be converted into insect hives for the time being, so as not to waste their potential.

In addition, they also played a role in assisting Shisei Aburame in completing two experiments: one was an experiment on extracting insect pheromones, and the other was an experiment on the fusion of a modified version of the Earth Grudge Ninjutsu.

"Thank you for saving my life, sir. From now on, I will serve you with my life," Kurosaki Ichiro said, bowing his head.

"No need to thank me," Aburame Shisei replied calmly. "If you want to thank someone, thank Ida Ryuji. If he hadn't brought you back in time and begged me to save you, you wouldn't have survived."

Kurosaki Ichiro asked in a low voice, "Lord Shisei, Ryuji already knows the truth. Does he also need to undergo reformation?"

"He didn't know the truth."

Yu Nu Zhicheng shook his head and said, "He only knows that you have a health problem, and he can probably guess that I used some kind of method, and that only I can solve it, so he sent you here."

As for the specific methods used or who I am, he has no idea. He only remembers that I am now called Takikawa Hide, and that I have many methods and great strength.

As for the renovation, let's just forget about it.

As a businessman, he will inevitably come into contact with ninjas from various villages in the future, among whom there will surely be those with keen senses who may notice the abnormalities in his body.

A merchant who travels extensively and suddenly gains chakra and experiences a significant increase in physical strength would inevitably attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

"Let's go, you'll come with me today. I have some things to take care of."

You Nu Zhicheng instructed the others to guard the underground palace and sealed several important laboratories with a sealing technique.

Although these people's lives were in his hands, it was still hard to guarantee that some of them wouldn't harbor resentment.

It's best to be cautious while he's away.

Afterwards, the two left the underground palace, passed through the barrier of Takigakure Village, and headed straight for the mine in the main city.

Inside the castle lord's mansion, Lord Heiji was chatting idly with Ryuji Ida.

During this period, thanks to the symbiotic parasites in his body, Heiji's physical condition improved significantly, and his fat gradually disappeared, replaced by firm muscles.

Moreover, as his health improved, his abilities in certain areas also increased. Recently, several of his aristocratic colleagues have privately inquired about the secret to his regained youth.

But when it came to physical transformation, he always laughed it off and never mentioned it.

Looking at the slightly chubby Ryuji Ida below the stage, Heiji couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority.

"Brother Long Er, we're all working for the higher-ups. Why did you have to give up such a valuable opportunity to that peasant when you clearly had a chance to profit?"

Although Ida Ryuji looked bewildered, he still replied with a smile, "Mr. Ichiro may not have been very reliable in the past, but he has treated me well now. I am a person who values ​​conscience above all else; he saved my life, so naturally I should save his. As for any benefits... they are irrelevant to me."

"Sigh..." Lord Heiji sighed, and just as he was about to say something, the sound of the door being pushed open came from outside.

Just as he was about to erupt in anger, two familiar figures walked in. Startled, he hurriedly rose from his seat and knelt before Aburame Shisei: "Your subordinate Heiji greets Lord Takikawa."

Instead of blaming her, Yu Nu Zhicheng asked, "You just said that many people want to know the secret to your recovery and rejuvenation?"

"No...that's right, sir! But I have kept my mouth shut and have not uttered a single word."

"You've done well. However, I don't plan to spread this method yet. And your changes are too obvious, and your actions are too flamboyant."

Lord Heiji broke out in a cold sweat. Before he could utter a sound, Aburame Shisei had already approached him.

In an instant, the worms inside Heiji's body began to rapidly transform. Before long, his abdomen swelled up high, while his body quickly shrank.

Yu Nu Zhicheng bent down and flicked the swollen abdomen, and soon, three insect eggs slid out from the opening.

These insect eggs were of ordinary quality, only half the size of normal insect eggs.

Ryuji Ida, sitting to the side, was sweating profusely as he watched.

At this moment, he finally glimpsed the astonishing secret of the person behind the scenes.

But the secret was too horrifying; he had lost the right to cooperate on an equal footing and had no choice but to kneel and submit.

"Taki...Takikawa-sama..."

Aburame Shisei glanced at him and said, "You want it too?"

Ryuji Ida shook his head vigorously, then realized something was wrong and quickly nodded.

"Since you want it, then you can have it."

Yu Nu Zhicheng inactivated all three insect eggs, and a faint, cooked aroma wafted from the eggshells.

He handed over the insect eggs, saying, "Don't worry, they're already cooked. Eating them will only make up for your previous physical deficiencies and give your body, which lacks exercise, a bit more strength. They won't take root and grow into worms in your stomach."

"Thank you so much for your kindness, sir!"

Ryuji Ida swallowed the insect eggs, thus completely joining the camp.

At that moment, the long-absent butler Matsumoto led a teenager into the room.

This child was the illegitimate son of Lord Heiji. Because his birth mother was a prostitute, Heiji was never sure if he was truly his own flesh and blood. Although he was raised in the mansion, he was always treated as a servant.

Aburame Shisei's purpose in coming out this time is to deal with the insect infestation of some people, but Heiji's character is too bad, and giving him power will cause trouble, so it is better to just replace him with someone else.

As for others, he still does not intend to perform worm egg implantation.

High-quality insect eggs are extremely difficult to hatch. Inferior parasites not only have limited ability to improve their strength, but even if they are used to hatch insect eggs, the quality will be poor.

The insect eggs he used previously were all directly materialized in a petri dish through energy catalysis, and they were very valuable.

One day later, the old city lord passed away, and the new city lord succeeded him.

Ryuji Ida, carrying chests and chests of gold and silver jewelry, embarked on another trade route with Ichiro Kurosaki.

After that, he no longer just accumulated wealth for his own family, but became the organization's moneybag, traveling to various countries to raise funds.

In addition, he also needs to use his son's connections to quickly integrate into the noble circles of the Land of Earth in order to obtain more valuable mineral resources.

Firstly, the insects in the mine need to be fed with various ores; secondly, the refined metals can be sold to the Iron Country and the Craftsman Country via trade routes to be processed into various armors, ninja tools, kunai, and shuriken.

The weapons and equipment of the Blade Clan are far too worn out. This batch of minerals and resources can be used to exchange for some better equipment.
