Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

On the training field, the black insect wall continued to shrink, like a huge, writhing stomach, trying to digest the prey trapped inside.

And Shuoye Qianxuan is that flying insect that runs wildly along the stomach wall, futilely prolonging the time it takes to be digested.

"Ha, I knew it! What kind of skill is it to just run?"

Sarutobi Shin in the audience let out a disdainful sneer.

"It's only a matter of time before he gets caught by Ryoma's insects."

"Yeah, if you run out of chakra, you're doomed."

"He's no match for Lord Kakashi at all; it's a disgrace."

Mocking voices rose and fell; in their eyes, the outcome of the assessment was already decided.

Shuo Ye Qianxuan was merely making a last-ditch effort.

Even Nohara Rin nervously gripped the hem of her dress; she couldn't bear to watch any longer.

Kakashi on the sidelines had a furrowed brow.

He looked at the figure that only knew how to run at high speed along the inner wall, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

that's all?

All they do is run away?

Just when everyone thought Qian Xuan was about to be exhausted and devoured by the swarm of insects—

boom.

The rapidly moving figure suddenly burst into a cloud of white smoke before everyone's eyes.

Instead, an ordinary wooden stake fell to the ground and was instantly engulfed by a swarm of black insects.

A substitution technique?!

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Sarutobi Shin's smile froze on his face.

The extinguished flame in Kakashi's eyes reignited.

It wasn't a simple escape; it was a precise execution of hand seals and a substitution technique while moving at high speed.

"I see."

Minato Namikaze looked at the field, his blue eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

"It's somewhat similar to the Eight Gates Formation, a secret technique that forcibly stimulates the body's potential, granting speed and power beyond limits in a short period of time. Qian Xuanjun is truly a genius for developing a technique of this caliber on his own."

Eight Gates Formation?

genius?

Upon hearing Minato's assessment, the surrounding ninjas' gazes towards the arena changed.

"But, teacher."

Kakashi's analysis did not stop.

"Even with the aid of secret techniques, his chakra reserves are a major weakness. Moreover, he lacks effective means of attack; if he only dodges, once his chakra is exhausted, the result will be the same."

Minato nodded without refuting.

Kakashi's analysis was calm and correct.

However, as soon as he finished speaking—

Boom!!

A violent explosion suddenly erupted from the center of the writhing insect wall!

A violent shockwave, carrying countless charred insect corpses and mud, swept outwards in all directions.

The once impenetrable black wall of insects was blasted open with a huge gap!

Kakashi's pupils contracted to their maximum size.

"Explosive tags!?"

When was he...?

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the figure of Aburame Ryoma appeared outside the gap.

He raised his arm, and three kunai, gleaming with a cold light, accurately struck him, blocking three shuriken that came hurtling through the air.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The crisp sound of the impact caused his expression to change slightly.

He looked down at his sleeve, which had a small hole bitten by an insect; there, was only a stand-in.

The detonator was tied to that piece of wood.

"A good plan."

Aburame Ryoma's voice remained cold as he looked around.

"But it's no use. My parasitic insects are everywhere in the training ground, and I can sense every single flow of chakra. Your chakra is as faint as a candle in the wind; no matter where you hide, you can't escape my notice."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure burst out from the woods behind him, making no attempt to conceal himself.

Shuo Ye Qianxuan has appeared.

He held a long, narrow katana in his hand, the blade reflecting a chilling light in the sunlight.

Without uttering a single wasted word, he exerted force with his feet, transforming himself into a straight line and charging towards Aburame Ryoma!

Aburame Ryoma didn't move, he just looked at him coldly.

The moment Qian Xuan rushed close, several black arms made of insects emerged from the ground and wrapped around his ankles.

Qianxuan's blade flashed, precisely severing those insect arms, but his forward momentum inevitably slowed down for a moment.

Aburame Ryoma seized the opportunity, lunged forward, and cleaved Sengen's neck with a kunai.

Qian Xuan parried with his sword, and the two instantly engaged in close combat.

The kunai clashed with the blade, the sound of metal colliding echoing incessantly.

However, Aburame Ryoma's fighting style was extremely strange. Each of his attacks was accompanied by a large number of parasitic insects, like a layer of sticky black oil, which constantly adhered to Sengen's body and burrowed into the gaps in his clothes.

Qianxuan felt itchy all over, and his movements became sluggish.

After parrying the opponent's attack once again, he used the momentum to leap backward, creating distance, and disappeared into the woods once more.

"Has it reached its limit?"

Aburame Ryoma looked in the direction where Sengen had disappeared, his tone carrying a hint of judgment.

The burst of the secret technique has a limited duration, and the chakra should be almost depleted.

The close combat just now had left him with enough insects attached to his body.

"I've found you."

Aburame Ryoma clasped his hands together, and the swarm of insects lurking in the forest instantly erupted, like a black tide, once again completely surrounding the newly appeared Sengen.

This time, Qianxuan did not run away.

He stood surrounded by the swarm of insects, once again assuming a charging stance.

"it's over."

Aburame Ryoma stared at him coldly.

Qianxuan's figure moved, transforming into a streak of light once again, rushing towards Aburame Ryoma without hesitation!

Aburame Ryoma neither dodged nor avoided, but simply raised the kunai in his hand to meet the figure.

However, just before Qianxuan's body was about to make contact with the kunai, his figure suddenly swayed like ripples on water, and then with a "bang," he turned into a cloud of white smoke and disappeared.

Another clone?

Ryoma Aburame's expression finally changed.

A deadly chill ran down my spine.

He turned around abruptly and saw a face so close to his, a face that looked weary yet icy cold.

Shuo Ye Qian Xuan!

Pfft—!

The long, narrow blade pierced through Aburame Ryoma's chest from behind without any obstruction.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at this unbelievable scene.

That "super repeat student" actually... stabbed the examiner with a knife!

However, there was no trace of joy on Qianxuan's face.

His hand gripping the hilt of the knife could clearly feel that the sensation coming from the tip of the blade was not the feeling of flesh being pierced, but rather a... wriggling, sticky, and eerie feeling.

The pierced Aburame Ryoma slowly lowered his head, looked at the knife that had pierced his chest, and then his entire body began to disintegrate.

Instead of flesh and blood, countless black beetles scattered like sand from under his trench coat.

"Insect clones..."

Qianxuan squeezed out three words through his teeth.

And at the very moment that insect clone completely collapsed, Qianxuan saw it.

At the core of the clone, a dozen or so strips of paper covered with runes were flashing a dangerous red light.

Explosive tags!

"Any sacrifice is necessary to complete the mission."

Ryoma Aburame's cold voice came from behind another tree not far away.

"burst."

boom--!!!

An even more violent explosion erupted in the center of the training ground.

The terrifying flames and shockwaves instantly engulfed Shuo Ye Qianxuan's figure.
