Bab 24: Chapter 24: You Knocked Her Out Again

Pretty capable, huh!

You can even use the Great Fireball Jutsu.

Watching Sasuke form hand seals, Shishou stood still, making no movements.

Hehe!

Scared stiff, huh? This time, you're definitely going to lose.

Seeing Shishou standing there dazed, Sasuke felt a surge of pride as he quickly formed his hand seals.

"Sasuke is so cool!"

"Sasuke is amazing."

Seeing Sasuke use ninjutsu, the girls who hadn't learned any ninjutsu yet, including Sakura Haruno, screamed with excitement.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball..."

"Shishou Aburame wins!"

Just as Sasuke was about to form the last seal, Iruka appeared beside him with a Body Flicker Technique, gripping Sasuke's hands and interrupting his jutsu, announcing the match's result.

"Hmph."

You got lucky this time.

Seeing Iruka declare the result, Uchiha Sasuke snorted, looking displeased at Shishou Aburame opposite him.

Wait...

Shishou Aburame wins?

Suddenly, Sasuke realized what had happened and looked at Iruka in disbelief.

Wasn't I supposed to win?

The surrounding girls, including Sakura Haruno, also looked at Iruka with confusion.

Clearly, Sasuke was about to win, but Iruka stopped him. How did Shishou win?

Teacher, are you playing favorites?

If she wasn't afraid of angering Iruka, Sakura would have shouted this out.

"Shikamaru, what's going on?"

Ino Yamanaka, holding the unconscious Hinata, asked Shikamaru beside her.

Shikamaru might be unreliable in other areas, but his intelligence was unquestionable.

"This time, Shishou really won."

"Look up."

Shikamaru sighed, pointing to the sky with his index finger, while lamenting inwardly.

Each one of them is so fierce; how will we ever get by in the future?

"What is..."

Ino Yamanaka looked up, shocked.

Is Shishou really that strong?

On the other side, noticing the puzzled gazes of everyone, Iruka also pointed to the sky like Shikamaru.

"Look up."

Everyone looked up to see a massive swarm of insects about five meters wide hovering above Sasuke's head, ready to strike at any moment.

"This!"

The sight of the dense swarm of insects chilled everyone to the bone.

Imagining themselves surrounded by that swarm made them shiver.

I lost!

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Shishou, gritted his teeth, and left immediately.

He planned to go back and continue training the Great Fireball Jutsu.

Next time, he would definitely defeat Shishou!

Watching Sasuke leave in frustration, Shishou smiled slightly.

If anything, Sasuke's indomitable spirit was what Shishou admired most.

This was why, after every show of arrogance, Sasuke got stronger despite being beaten.

These setbacks wouldn't make Sasuke fearful; they would only make him stronger.

This was something even Naruto couldn't do.

It was a unique charm of Sasuke.

"After blocking Sasuke's shuriken, Shishou's insects flew into the air."

"We were all so focused on their close combat that we didn't notice."

"Shishou had already prepared his insects but didn't use them against Sasuke right away."

"Once Sasuke finished forming his seals, the swarm would have descended and engulfed him, causing his Great Fireball to explode and injure him."

"So, in this match, Shishou won."

Seeing the shocked expressions of Ino and the others, Shikamaru continued explaining.

"Ew, gross!"

Unexpectedly, Ino shivered, looking at the insect swarm in the air with disgust.

She hated bugs the most.

"You don't need to worry about that. I keep the insects in a gourd and only raise one queen insect."

"These insects are spawned with chakra and will die soon after."

"And the dead insects will be fed to the destructive insects I raise, so nothing is wasted."

Seeing Ino's expression, Shishou quickly explained as he walked down the field.

Ino had finally distanced herself from Sasuke and gotten closer to him.

He didn't want Ino's slight fondness for him to be scared away by the insects.

If that happened, he'd be devastated.

"By the way, how is Hinata now?"

Seeing Ino still somewhat concerned, Shishou quickly changed the topic to Hinata.

"She hasn't woken up yet," Ino said, her attention diverted.

"Not yet?"

Shishou reached out to gently pat Hinata's face, examining her closely.

"Hmm...uh..."

Just as Hinata Hyuga opened her eyes, she saw Shishou staring intently at her. Her face instantly turned red, and just as quickly, she fainted again.

Shishou: "..."

Ino: "..."

"Ahh, you made her faint again."

Seeing Hinata pass out again, Ino exclaimed.

"How is that my fault?"

Scratching his head, Shishou defended himself.

...

On the second day of the final exams, Iruka announced everyone's overall grades.

Having defeated Sasuke, Shishou unsurprisingly earned the top spot in their grade.

He received a set of shuriken as a reward.

As a child of the ninja clan, Shishou didn't need the shuriken.

He gave them to Naruto Uzumaki, who was so touched he almost wanted to become sworn brothers with Shishou.

It was the first time Naruto had received a gift from someone.

Because he lost to Shishou, Uchiha Sasuke didn't make it into the top ten.

Sasuke didn't react much to this.

He just trained secretly at night, aiming to defeat Shishou soon.

Shuriken were nothing special to Sasuke, who was the wealthiest in their class with his vast inheritance.

Due to the comprehensive grading, including academic subjects, Shino and Kiba only made it into the top ten.

Hinata, Sakura Haruno, and others made it into the top fifteen.

Ino was upset about not making the top fifteen and vowed to surpass them next time.

Shikamaru and Choji were indifferent to their grades, one focused on sleeping and the other on eating chips.

Their nonchalant attitudes frustrated Iruka greatly.

Of course, Iruka was most frustrated with Naruto.

Failing in academics, shuriken practice, and taijutsu combat, Naruto undoubtedly ranked last.

Naruto didn't care, showing off the shuriken Shishou gave him, making Iruka grind his teeth in anger.

Then, Iruka announced the end of the school year, officially starting the winter break, and told everyone to report back in two months.

The whole class cheered.

"Woohoo!!!"

Shishou was also very happy.

He finally had time to do what he wanted to do.

Bab 25: Chapter 25: Danzo, You Old Dog, what Are You Up to?

At the school gate, Yamanaka Ino cheerfully bid farewell to Shishou.

"It's winter now, and school won't start again until two months later, in the new year."

"Yeah, see you next year."

Shishou waved goodbye to Ino as well.

Seeing Ino leave, Hyuga Hinata hurried forward, looking at Shishou nervously. Before she could speak, her face had already turned red, blushing deeply.

"Shishou-kun, see you next year."

After saying this, Hinata ran away with a red face, her heart pounding.

If she didn't run, she feared she might faint again like she did yesterday.

That would be too embarrassing.

"I don't bite. Why is she running so fast?"

Watching Hinata run off, Shishou couldn't help but laugh.

"Shishou, aren't you coming to our house this year?"

After everyone else had left, Aburame Shino approached Shishou and asked.

Although Shishou was nominally adopted by Shino's father, he mostly lived on his own and rarely visited Shino's house.

"Yeah, I'm busy studying ninjutsu and really don't like crowded places. I believe you understand how I feel."

Shishou patted Shino on the shoulder, explaining.

"Yes, I understand."

Shino, who also disliked crowded places, nodded in understanding.

"Say hello to your father for me."

"Okay."

...

Back home.

Shishou sat at his desk, took out paper and pen, and began planning his future activities.

"The animals in the Forest of Death have almost all been influenced by me. If I continue, it will attract Konoha's attention. I need to find another place to cultivate my destructive bugs."

"Although I've already awakened my Mangekyo Sharingan, I still have issues using ocular genjutsu. This is because my basic knowledge of genjutsu is too poor, so I need to find a teacher to learn from properly."

"At the same time, the search for Hashirama cells needs to be prioritized. Otherwise, these eyes won't last long."

"I also need to start looking for a sensory technique to pair with the Flying Thunder God technique, otherwise, I can't utilize its full power."

"I need to find ways to further increase my chakra reserves..."

"I also need to attempt to control some mineral resources in Fire Source City..."

"I need to find ways to further increase Mikoto's and the others' chakra reserves as well..."

Shishou kept pondering these issues, writing and drawing on the paper.

Half an hour later, Shishou slumped in his chair and sighed.

"Sigh~"

"So many things to do."

He casually burned the paper he had just written on, walked to the window, and stared at the sun, lost in thought.

"However, to obtain the Kekkei Genkai and become an immortal like Kaguya, all of this is necessary."

Since the day he acquired the system, Shishou had set his sights on becoming an immortal like the lunar goddess, Kaguya.

After the paper burned to ashes, Shishou used the Flying Thunder God technique and disappeared from his spot.

...

Forest of Death.

Danzo's newly established experimental base.

"Lord Danzo, the experiment failed again."

"All subjects have died."

In an office, Aburame Ryoma reported to Shimura Danzo.

"What went wrong?"

Danzo's face showed no emotion as he inquired about the reason for the experiment's failure.

He had no emotional attachment to the deceased subjects.

They were just tools, after all.

Tools didn't warrant emotional investment.

"The original experimental data was mostly taken by Orochimaru."

"Trying to replicate the process now will be very difficult."

Hearing Ryoma's words, Danzo frowned and remained silent.

Back then, he and Orochimaru conducted the Hashirama cell transplantation experiments together, but Orochimaru carried out most of the work, and Danzo wasn't heavily involved.

Although Danzo successfully transplanted a Sharingan-implanted arm to suppress the Hashirama cells,

his understanding of the cells was limited.

This wasn't much help in restarting the Wood Release experiments.

Without successfully transplanting Hashirama cells, Danzo couldn't defeat the powerful Sarutobi Hiruzen and claim the Hokage seat.

Moreover, Konoha's higher-ups were already aware of his Kotoamatsukami in his right eye, ensuring he had no opportunity to use it.

Besides, Danzo planned to use Kotoamatsukami to control the heads of various ninja clans after becoming Hokage.

He wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.

"Orochimaru, huh."

Danzo regretted not keeping in touch with 'Orochimaru' during their last encounter.

"Orochimaru, huh."

In the shadows of the experimental base, Shishou sighed as he listened through his destructive bugs.

During their last face-off, he had attached a few bugs to Danzo and ordered them to go dormant, planning to track Danzo.

He intended to steal or deceive Danzo's research once it succeeded.

Unexpectedly, Danzo got stuck at the first step.

"Danzo, you old dog, are you up to this or not?"

Shishou cursed inwardly.

"But it's not entirely useless."

Shishou withdrew his focus from Danzo and quietly headed towards the underground laboratory.

The failed experimental subjects were all discarded in a deep pit at the base's lowest point.

Although they failed, these subjects still contained some Hashirama cells and a lot of energy.

By having his bugs devour these corpses, Shishou might gain some of Hashirama's power through feedback.

Even if he didn't gain Hashirama's power,

he would at least obtain some chakra, which was beneficial.

An hour later.

In the Forest of Death.

"As expected, nothing happened."

"I should have used this energy to breed more bugs."

After sensing no change within himself,

Shishou sighed. Last time, he had devoured and fed back from two to three hundred Uchiha clan members to gain the Uchiha bloodline and awaken the Sharingan.

This time, he had only devoured ten experimental subjects with a bit of Hashirama cells, so it was unlikely to gain Hashirama's power.

With Danzo's failure, if Shishou wanted to obtain Hashirama cells,

he had to seek out Orochimaru or Uchiha Obito.

However, Obito's Kamui was too troublesome, and he wouldn't share the Hashirama cell transplantation technique.

That left Orochimaru as Shishou's only option.

As for snatching some Hashirama cells from Danzo?

Shishou hadn't even considered it.

Even though he had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, the success rate of transplantation was higher than others, but he wouldn't take that risk.

Since there was a safe way to obtain Hashirama's power,

Shishou wouldn't take unnecessary risks.

"Forget it, let's do something else first."

Shishou sighed and disappeared from the spot.
