Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 662 Xiao Li's Mysterious Death

"Did you fall into the magma layer? That's getting interesting," Shisei Aburame replied to the camera. "Don't worry, it might be a stroke of luck."

"Master, if I hadn't noticed anything unusual about my body, I would have suspected that you had peeked into the future." The Time Insect was very frank; Aburame Shisei had not allowed it to peek into the future, and it had indeed never seen it.

However, its master's confident demeanor made it suspicious.

Aburame Shisei's lips curled up slightly: "I did not use your abilities to see the future, but when others peered into the future, I happened to catch a glimpse of it, which of course does not count as what I saw."

"Who is it? And how did you manage to see it, Master?" The Time Insect was full of questions.

Ayame Shichen gently stroked the insect-like body on her wrist, which resembled a watch bracelet: "The first-generation insect medicine relies on symbiosis with living organisms. If one does not cultivate the Earthly Grudge Fear, the faster the host's body develops, the faster the insect-like body will grow. In the end, the host's body will become bloated and malnourished, becoming a container for the insects to reproduce."

So, based on this, I developed the second-generation insect medicine, replacing the live insect ingredients with a combination of white asteroids and gel. However, the second-generation insect medicine was quickly phased out because the white asteroids were exhausted and became a scarce medicinal material. Although it underwent many improvements afterward, it always remained an improved version of the second-generation insect medicine. It wasn't until shortly after the establishment of the nation that I created the third-generation insect medicine.

"Master, I don't understand what you mean."

"All the insect bodies are my consciousness clones. I myself am the entire swarm of insects." After saying this, Aburame Shisei closed his eyes again and continued to deduce the world of the White Hole Insects.

"I still don't understand, what exactly is the third-generation insecticide?"

Crystal Scorpion Xiao Lai explained, "It is made from a highly concentrated nutrient solution combined with nano-repair insects, so the third-generation insect medicine cannot make people instantly stronger."

However, after the host engages in strenuous exercise, these insects can repair body tissues and even mend broken or distorted biochemical bonds, which is commonly referred to as gene defect repair.

However, we can only improve existing genetic defects; we cannot create new genes out of thin air.

In other words, relying on the third-generation insect medicine, the human body can gradually approach a perfect state, reaching the theoretical peak of individual development in terms of physical fitness. Ordinary people can also cultivate to the peak of the cadre level, equivalent to the level of the former Kage.

"But once everyone breaks through to the Transcendent Realm, they will all perish. This is because once the host has complete control over their own power, these insects will lose their function and will be excreted as metabolic waste."

"So, Master has always been aware of the physical condition of everyone in Konoha?"

"That's roughly it, but not everyone has the opportunity to use the third-generation insecticide. Learn it, little brother, this is all work."

After hearing the explanation, the Time Worm was shocked. "So this is how it can be done? Then isn't the Lord just playing with them?"

"Perhaps, or perhaps the master has a bigger conspiracy."

Returning our gaze to Konoha, the Divine Tree bore fruit once more, and Sasuke floated up and gently plucked a fruit.

At that moment, a pale golden light appeared behind him.

He turned around with a smile, handing over the fruit in his hand. "Naruto, I didn't expect you to succeed so quickly. Congratulations! This is for you."

"Sasuke, what have you done now? Who have you hurt this time?"

"Naruto, how could you think of me like that? I only defeated enemies this time!"

"I will not eat anything that grows on this sinful tree." Naruto slapped Sasuke's hand away, and the fruit instantly fell to the ground and rolled away.

Sasuke hurriedly bent down to pick it up, extremely nervous, but Naruto grabbed him and punched him hard.

The punch caused his nose to bleed profusely, and his body slammed heavily against the sacred tree.

"Even without the fruit, I can still become very strong." He picked up the fruit from the ground. "I won't eat such a sinful thing. I'd rather it be destroyed!"

"No!" Sasuke shouted, managing to protect the fruit with Amenotejikara before it could be crushed.

"Naruto, you said you could defeat me on your own, so today I'll make you eat the fruit." Sasuke took back the fruit and put it into a special container. At this moment, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became terrifyingly gloomy.

The next second, he appeared beside Naruto and kicked him hard in the side of the face, sending him flying.

This time he showed no mercy. Even though he felt a pang of heartache, he was determined to give Naruto a good beating and make him realize that without the power of the Six Paths, his Sage Mode was insignificant.

The two resumed their battle, creating a tremendous commotion.

Of the surviving ninja civilians, only a few stopped to watch; the vast majority covered their heads in their hands. I was in my own home, under my bed, under my table, or in my basement.

That fear of death is probably deeply etched in their hearts.

The constant upheavals were testing their nerves.

When will this end? And they don't have the courage to enter the Infinite Tsukuyomi, because they are terrified by the scene of the creatures hanging on the trees like insect eggs.

The thought of them being trapped in false memories and then slowly devoured by the divine tree is terrifying.

That's how people are; when they have the ability, they yearn to create their own future.

Therefore, increasing one's own strength can also be very harmful, making others unable to see their own limitations.

"They're fighting again." Sakura looked up at the sky and urged Hinata and Ino to move to a safe place.

Just then, she saw a tiny slug hurry by and then quickly leave.

"What's the Slug Sage doing here?" Sakura asked, puzzled. Could it be that someone else was injured because of their fight?

Sakura sighed and shook her head slightly. From somewhere, she took out another bottle of wine and drank it while watching the battle in the sky.

"Sakura!" Rock Lee suddenly sat down next to Sakura. "They're safe now. Do you want to hide too?"

Sakura shook her head. "I'm not pregnant. The aftershocks of their battle won't hurt me at all."

But as he was talking, Xiao Li suddenly yawned. He felt very tired and his eyelids were very heavy.

Finally, he collapsed onto Sakura's shoulder with a thud. Sakura looked at Lee sleeping on her shoulder, smiled helplessly, and then straightened his clothes.

Just then, she unexpectedly felt Xiao Li's pulse and suddenly discovered that Xiao Li's pulse had stopped beating. She nervously reached for his heart.

Before anyone knew it, Xiao Li had become a cold corpse.

"Rock Lee, get up!"
