The Master of Konoha's Legacy

When the inky tornado had grown to the same height as the surrounding trees, Yu Nuzhi said in a low voice:

"Secret Technique: Parasitic Insect: Insect Devouring!"

The entire dark tornado suddenly contracted into a sphere.

These parasitic insects seemed to have gone mad, frantically burrowing inwards, trying to devour Uchiha Tonan's flesh and chakra.

Seeing that Uchiha Tonan offered no resistance whatsoever, he was simply swallowed up by the sea of ​​insects.

While feeling a little relieved, Aburame Shiki also found it hard to believe.

Isn't all of this too simple...?

A few breaths later, the satiated parasitic insect transformed into a stream of ink and returned to the insect jar.

However, where Uchiha Tonan was, only a skeleton remained.

After losing the support of the parasites, the bones fell apart and shattered on the ground.

Seeing this, Yu Nu Zhiwei finally felt completely relieved and took a deep breath.

It seems the other party was too arrogant and was countered by the secret techniques of the Aburame clan.

It feels so good to be alive.

Although I used up too much chakra, my body is in a little pain.

But as long as you're alive, you can continue to breathe fresh air and enjoy the warm, pleasant sunshine.

........

Sunlight?

Wait, what time is it now?

Aburame Shiki suddenly opened her eyes and saw that half of the setting sun had already sunk below the horizon.

In the distance, Uchiha Tonan, dressed in a black trench coat, stared at him with bloodshot eyes and an unsettling smile.

I'm under an illusion!

when?

Aburame Shiki instinctively tried to move, but found she couldn't control her body, as if...

It was as if his body had vanished...

In an instant, You Nuzhi rolled to the ground, landing on the back of her head.

The last thing I saw was a skeleton, completely devoured by parasites, scattered like dominoes.

This skeleton is missing a head...

In an instant, Aburame Shiki's chakra completely disappeared.

The insects in the jar suddenly became uncontrollable and rushed out of the jar one after another.

Other insects are fine; for them, it's a matter of freedom.

But for those parasites, it was a catastrophe.

Parasites are special insects bred by the Aburame clan, and their survival requires the chakra of their master.

If parasites are not taken in by other members of the oil lady clan within minutes of losing their owner, they will die quickly.

Normally, even if a member of the Aburame clan runs out of chakra, they may still suffer from a backlash, let alone now.

So at this moment, the parasites went crazy.

In a desperate attempt to survive, they surged toward Aburame Shimi's head.

Instinctively, they wanted to fight for the last bit of food and prolong their lives a little longer.

Just as the ink flow formed by the parasitic insects was about to sweep over the head of Yu Nu Zhiwei.

"Boom~"

Uchiha Tonan, who had already approached, casually snapped his fingers.

Of course, the snapping of fingers contained a considerable amount of ultrasonic waves.

After mastering sonic attacks, the Aburame clan, whose ninjas manipulated microorganisms for attacks, posed no threat whatsoever to Uchiha Tonan.

It's entirely due to natural self-control.

In an instant, these parasites lost their sense of direction and fell to the ground.

This was because Uchiha Tonan was worried that the power of the sonic attack was too strong and would damage Aburame Shiki's brain.

Otherwise, these parasites wouldn't just fall to the ground, but would all die suddenly.

Even ants try to survive...

Uchiha Tonan slowly approached Aburame Shiki's head.

Aburame Shiki's eyes were wide open, her expression still frozen in the surprise and fear before her death.

Uchiha Tonan squatted down, placed his hand on Aburame Shiki's head, and began to use his mind-reading technique.

Mind reading is the ability to probe the memories of the dead.

The conditions are somewhat demanding.

First, examining the brain of a deceased person requires dozens of times more mental energy and chakra.

If the brain of a living person is like water, then the brain of a dead person is like a quagmire, with a vastly different resistance.

Secondly, the neurons in the brain that store memories die rapidly after a person dies, and the memories also disappear.

Therefore, generally speaking, the longer a person has been dead, the fewer memories can be probed.

After a long while, Uchiha Tonan, satisfied that Aburame Shii had not told anyone else the information, withdrew his hand.

Looking at the lifeless, unseeing eyes of Aburame Shiki with a face full of regret, he sighed:

Why did you have to be so clever?

I'm not the kind of narrow-minded person.

If you admit it directly, then you'll naturally submit to me.

I will definitely spare your life.

But you just had to think of attacking me.

What a pity...

Shino is gone too...

But it's not a big problem.

[Chapter 276. Laying the groundwork for shifting the focus of conflict]

After a long while, Uchiha Tonan once again placed his hand on Aburame Shiki's head and searched it again.

Only after confirming that the memories in the brain had completely disappeared did he put the remains and the insect jar into the storage scroll.

The battlefield is a lawless zone.

Killing the chieftain of the Aburame clan during wartime would not cause much of a stir.

Just like the Sarutobi clan representative that Uchiha Tonan killed before, once he's dead, he's dead, and nobody cares much about it.

Anyway, Uchiha Tonan is going to start live experiments again soon, so it's a good time to use Aburame Shimi's corpse as a prelude.

This can be considered as making the best use of resources.

Soon, Uchiha Tonan returned to the Konoha camp and sent people to notify the high-ranking officials of the various clans to hold a meeting to discuss the matter.

Since taking over as commander of the northern front, Uchiha Tonan has rarely taken the initiative to contact higher-ups to hold meetings.

Unlike Nara Shikaku and Namikaze Minato, they always consulted with everyone before doing anything.

So as soon as these high-ranking officials received the notification, they immediately put down what they were doing and rushed to the commander's tent.

crackling sounds~

The campfire burning outside the commander's tent danced wildly in the night, driving away the surrounding darkness.

Inside the tent, Uchiha Tonan sat in the main seat with a gloomy expression, saying nothing.

Since no seats were assigned to Uchiha Tonan, the other high-ranking members all stood obediently in a row, just like students in a ninja academy.

Several people wanted to ask what had happened.

But after glancing at Uchiha Tonan's expression, he quickly withdrew his head to avoid incurring bad luck.

"Sorry, sorry, I was performing surgery on the injured person, so I was a little late."

Finally, the last medical team leader jogged into the tent.

All the participants for this meeting have now arrived.

Uchiha Tonan took out a storage scroll from his ninja tool pouch, unfolded it on the long table in front of him, and then formed hand seals to summon the contents inside.

A plume of white smoke rose, and a pile of bones, an insect jar, and the head of Yu Nu Zhiwei appeared on the table.

Immediately, exclamations of surprise rang out from the top executives inside the tent.

"Who is this?"

"Zhiwei!"

"Damn it...who did this?"

"Has the assassination of the Hidden Cloud Village begun again?"

........

Uchiha Tonan pointed a finger at Aburame Shizumi's head, then turned to the head of the corpse disposal squad and said:

"You check his memory and see if you can find any information about the enemy."

The head of the corpse disposal team was a member of the mountain tribe.

He immediately took a few steps to the long table and placed his hand on it.

The high-ranking officials inside the tent all stopped shouting and watched intently at the scene.
