Chapter 607: Many more people have disappeared.
Chapter 607: Many more people have disappeared.
After some hesitation, Naoto finally told Aburame Shisei about what had happened over the years.
Five years ago, Konoha launched a surprise attack, resulting in significant losses, including the accidental death of Tina. Alphonse was disheartened and has since retired.
Most of the Nebula tribe have reached their age limit, and now only Huang Quan is trying to save the younger generation.
"As for Uzumaki Shirai, she's traveling the world with her daughter and hasn't contacted me in a long time. Nanshi and Shemu are busy with government affairs and can't get away. Deidara is still researching explosives, so he probably hasn't received any news yet."
Feng Hua Nu Tao was attending his brother's funeral. Feng Hua Zao Xue passed away yesterday, and today is the anniversary of his mother's death. He drank too much and fell to the ground. When he was found this morning, he was already cold. He must have been old.
The mother of Feng Hua Nu Tao and Feng Hua Zao Xue died naturally four years ago. A few months later, Da Sha also died due to a relapse of his old rheumatism. Then came the second son, who was assassinated last time and was left with hidden injuries.
They originally intended to give him a new body, but discovered that his soul had died young. It was obvious that this was the price to pay for the power.
In the early days, this group of people obtained power by exchanging fusion insects. Among the three fools, only Nozawa persisted in training and finally managed to break through to the cadre level in his soul before his death. Now his body can last for a few more years.
These straight people didn't go into details because it was already irrelevant to other matters.
"Oh, right, and Hidan's parents. After having a child, they chose to travel the world. We both passed away a few years ago, not because of physical reasons, but because our souls collapsed. Orochimaru said it was an injury he sustained a few years ago when he was stealing a soul. This kind of injury is not visible on the surface, but it will shorten the lifespan of the soul."
"As for Hidan and Homo, there should be a parent-teacher meeting at the kindergarten. His younger brother brought bugs to the kindergarten and scared the other children. A couple is currently demanding compensation from him!"
After hearing these words, Aburame Shisei stood there for a moment, feeling as if he had been in seclusion for five years.
With his close friends passing away and his subordinates leaving one by one, he wonders how many of the people in front of him will remain after a few years or a decade or so.
How many more unfamiliar faces will appear before him?
"Oh!" After a long while, he simply responded softly, "From now on, you don't need to bring any new recruits to me. You can handle the affairs of Taki no Kyushu yourselves."
After saying that, he turned to look at Aburame Zhiwei's family, "I remember you were eight years old when I defected. How are the other elders in the family?"
"Reporting to Lord Aburame Shisei, I am the oldest member of the Aburame clan," Aburame Shii replied humbly, his head bowed.
In fact, seeing his achievements now, they still have some regrets. There was once a path to heaven placed in front of their family, but they did not cherish it. Now they can only regret it.
"Your son has good talent. If he can break free from the will of chakra, he may well go even further in the future."
Aburame Shisei casually offered a compliment, but it was just a compliment. These traditional secret ninjas still used the ancient method of hollowing out their bodies, which had a very low ceiling, unless they learned non-action and transformed themselves into insect aggregates.
"If there's nothing else, you can all go your separate ways. I feel that some of you have a lot of things to deal with." Aburame Shisei didn't cling to her directly, but spoke very tactfully.
Naoto was very obedient and led the group away in a flash.
There's not much to say about Guang and Jing either; their relationship with Youbing Zhicheng is awkward, neither particularly close nor distant.
After that, he left with Kabuto and the others and returned to the base for training.
However, the witch and her party were very anxious. "My lord, we have something important to discuss. Our ghosts have been unable to communicate for quite some time. It's been about ten days."
Aburame Shisei replied, "Because I have subdued the worlds of Hell and Hungry Ghosts, the monsters there are still evolving and integrating. I will keep an eye out for those few of yours."
As for other ghosts and monsters, they will most likely be purified into pure yin energy and fed to the ghost immortal insects.
The profession of witch will likely only allow her to cultivate sealing techniques and soul ninjutsu in the future. There will probably only be four ghosts left that she can summon: the blind girl, the bull-headed demon, the six-armed centipede woman, and the demon mother.
The other witches have most likely withdrawn from the fight, and perhaps only four will remain in the future.
Upon hearing the answer, the group exchanged glances and silently accepted their fate as witches. In truth, it was for the best; they disliked fighting anyway, and perhaps they wouldn't have to deal with ghosts and monsters, and could even marry into good families in the future.
Thank you!
Whether their thanks were sincere or not, the group quietly left after expressing their gratitude, and it's likely they'll rarely see each other again in the future.
"My lord, there is one more thing. My mother senses that her lifespan is about to reach its limit and wishes to see you one last time before she passes away." After saying this, the purple-haired girl did not say anything more and turned to leave respectfully.
The old high priestess never ate insects, yet her soul still had a lifespan, most likely because she had been spying on fate all along.
Therefore, things beyond one's control are not without cost.
Soon, most of the people had left, leaving only Orochimaru, Kakuzu, and a few others.
"Haha, everyone's gone. Now it's time to talk about my business. My matter is rather urgent; it concerns the reconstruction of Takigakure Village. So far, we've tried various methods, but we still haven't been able to restore the waterfall… I wonder if you…"
Aburame Shigeaki waved his hand, interrupting him: "No need, broken things don't need fixing."
Chongming, standing to the side, jumped up and exclaimed, "How can we not fix it? That's my home!"
Seeing Chongming jumping up and down, Aburame Shisei looked helpless, then smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I'll fix it for you. Take me to see it."
With Kakuzu leading the way, Aburame Shisei looked at Orochimaru, who was following behind, and asked, "Don't you have anything to do?"
Orochimaru laughed and said, "No, Zhicheng-kun, I don't have anything to do either, so I'll go with you to take a look."
Crimson Scorpion stepped forward as well. "Me too."
Aburame Shisei didn't say anything more and let them follow.
Halfway there, Orochimaru asked, "Shicheng-kun, can you tell me what level you've reached?"
Aburame Shisei suddenly asked seriously, "Orochimaru, do you think you have a chance to escape this world?"
"I don't quite understand what you mean. Do you mean leaving the planet and going into outer space? I've never tried that, but it's probably impossible."
