Chương 170: Chapter 170: Beetle Advancement, Symbiote Beetle!

"How can I make Shizune master this?"

After experiencing the soul wandering, Mr. Lurigan withdrew his spirit. If he wanted Shizune to learn the Spirit Transformation Technique, he would have to enhance her Yin Release proficiency.

In Konoha, the Yamanaka clan specializes in mind-related jutsu and likely has methods to practice Yin Release. The Yuhi clan, known for their genjutsu, should also have ways to practice Yin Release.

Of course, Mr. Lurigan had another method, which was to awaken Shizune's Sharingan. However, cultivating Uchiha Madara's cells was not easy. It would take an unknown amount of time for Shizune to absorb and awaken the Sharingan.

Uchiha Madara's cells, unlike Hashirama's cells, didn't possess aggressive properties that could autonomously erode the host cells and absorb the host's life energy to reproduce themselves. Furthermore, Uchiha Madara's cells, being of Six Paths level, contained immense energy.

Similarly, cultivating and proliferating these cells would require vast amounts of energy and experimental materials. Unless Mr. Lurigan had many willing creatures to provide him with vast life energy, which he could then use to feed and proliferate Uchiha Madara's cells using his parasitic beetles.

Thinking about willing creatures, Mr. Lurigan recalled the snakes in Ryuchi Cave. "Once I find a way to the moon and master the Tenseigan and awaken the Rinnegan, maybe I can kill the White Snake Sage and turn Ryuchi Cave into a farm."

"This way, I won't have to worry about life energy..."

With that thought, Mr. Lurigan traveled to the forests of the Land of Water to find creatures to absorb life energy from. He then returned to his lab to continue transplanting Uchiha Madara's cells into White Zetsu, manipulating them to "mitotic divide" and absorb and feed back the energy.

By the afternoon, Mr. Lurigan returned to Tsunade's house to cook and dine with Shizune, enjoying their time together.

After a few days of this routine, Mr. Lurigan finally observed a significant advancement in his beetle.

"Is it finally evolving?"

In his lab, Mr. Lurigan took out the beetle and activated his Mangekyou Sharingan to accelerate its growth to a suitable state for advancement.

[Beetle: Can attach to the target's surface, providing a perfectly fitting armor suit, enhancing their defense. The armor model can be adjusted by the host.]

The parasitic beetle had already evolved into a legendary insect, so there was no hurry to further evolve it. Mr. Lurigan's current task was to cultivate three types of insects to the epic level before advancing them to the legendary level and receiving system rewards.

At this point, both the leaf beetle and the healing beetle were in the process of evolving. The only one left was the beetle.

[Beetle, rare insect species, has evolved nine times, currently able to advance.]

[Advancement is irreversible, please choose carefully.]

[Please select...]

[Option One: Armor Beetle: Epic species, attaches to the target's surface, providing a perfectly fitting full-body armor, significantly increasing their defense. Defense is related to the target's physique—the higher the physique, the greater the defense boost. The armor model can be adjusted by the host.]

[Option Two: Exoskeleton Beetle: Epic species, attaches to the target's surface, providing a perfectly fitting exoskeleton suit, enhancing their defense and physical attack. The stronger the target, the greater the attack power. The exoskeleton model can be adjusted by the host.]

[Option Three: Symbiote Beetle: Epic species, fuses with the target, granting them the ability to transform into armored form, enhancing all of the target's abilities. The higher the target's overall quality, the greater the boost. The transformation model can be adjusted by the host.]

Wow...

All three advancement options were excellent! No, they were amazing!

Seeing the options, Mr. Lurigan squinted his eyes, contemplating which one to choose. The Armor Beetle greatly increased defense, while the Exoskeleton Beetle enhanced physical attacks. The Symbiote Beetle, however, improved all abilities and granted an armored transformation ability, though its defense and attack boosts were not as high as the other two.

"Well, since it can transform, I'll choose the transformation."

After some thought, Mr. Lurigan selected Option Three: Symbiote Beetle!

He was curious to see what his transformation would look like.

[Selection successful, beetle advancing, advancement time: 30 days]

[During the advancement period, the beetle cannot be summoned or used.]

"It seems that the first advancement for any insect species takes thirty days."

"The second advancement requires sixty days. How long will the third take? One hundred twenty days? Ninety days?"

Looking at the now dormant beetle, Mr. Lurigan frowned slightly. The long advancement period was a bit frustrating.

Then, Mr. Lurigan thought it over and felt relieved. The insect species only had six levels. Even if it advanced from a common insect to a calamity insect, it would only need five advancements, taking just two to three years.

He was being too impatient.

"Next, I need to find a way to control Rimei Hyuga and seize the Hyuga clan's ancestral records."

"But before that, I should fully awaken Uchiha Madara's bloodline power."

"Another few rounds of absorption and feedback should completely awaken Uchiha Madara's bloodline power. Then, I'll just wait for the Rinnegan to awaken."

With this in mind, Mr. Lurigan headed to his lab to continue transplanting Uchiha Madara's cells.

By 4 PM, he returned to Tsunade's house to spend time with Shizune or went to Hotspring Town, the Land of Demons, and other places to accompany Mikoto and Miroku.

At night, he would sneak into Rimei Hyuga's room to feed her some life energy using his parasitic beetles, keeping her alive.

Every morning, Rimei would feel puzzled, noticing changes in her body as if something had happened the night before.

After some time, Mr. Lurigan finally obtained all of Uchiha Madara's bloodline power. Now, he just had to wait for the day his Rinnegan awakened.

March 31, Konoha Year 60.

Disguised as Mr. Lurigan, Shishou returned to Konoha to provide the Third Hokage with information on the Akatsuki members.

After a month, Shishou was confident that Kurenai Yuhi hadn't revealed his identity to anyone.

"Third Hokage, this is the list of Akatsuki members."

Shishou handed a photo of Sasori to the Third Hokage.

"Thank you, Mr. Lurigan," the Third Hokage said with a smile, inspecting the envelope before looking back at Shishou.

"I have a favor to ask of you, Mr. Lurigan."

Shishou was delighted. He could guess what the Third Hokage wanted.

During this time, Konoha and the Hyuga clan had been frantically searching for the Flying Thunder God user, while the Mist Village returned the Third Hokage's letter, stating they had no information to provide.

With no other options, the Third Hokage turned to Mr. Lurigan.

"I'd like to ask you to investigate the whereabouts of the Flying Thunder God user. What would you require as compensation?"

As Shishou nodded, the Third Hokage made his request.

From the Third Hokage's perspective, finding the Flying Thunder God user might lead to finding Tsunade, killing two birds with one stone.

As soon as the Third Hokage finished speaking, Hiashi Hyuga entered the room, having just received the news, and solemnly addressed Shishou.

"As long as you can find the Flying Thunder God user, you can name your price."


Chương 171: Chapter 171: Two Big Fools

"Anything I want?"

"Then can I have a pair of Byakugan?"

Mr. Lurigan looked at Hiashi Hyuga with disdain, clearly not believing his promise. The Hyuga clan's reverence for the Byakugan far surpassed any other thing. This, Mr. Lurigan knew well.

"This..."

Hiashi Hyuga's face turned sour. He regretted making such an absolute statement without leaving any room for negotiation.

"Mr. Lurigan, could you perhaps choose a different request?"

The Third Hokage quickly stepped in to mediate. The Byakugan was a Konoha's bloodline limit, and he naturally did not want it to fall into the wrong hands.

Knock, knock, knock!

At this moment, a knocking sound echoed, and Kurenai Yuhi entered the office to report on a mission. Seeing Mr. Lurigan, she froze.

"Miss Kurenai, long time no see."

"I might need your help later."

Seeing her frozen, Mr. Lurigan quickly greeted her, preventing the Third Hokage from noticing anything.

"Oh, Mr. Lurigan, long time no see indeed." Kurenai bit her lip and turned to the Third Hokage, saying, "Hokage-sama, this is the report on our squad's investigation of the Flying Thunder God user."

When she mentioned the 'Flying Thunder God user,' she couldn't help but glance at Mr. Lurigan. She really wanted to expose this bastard.

Kurenai mentally screamed.

"I understand." The Third Hokage took the report from Kurenai.

"Mr. Lurigan, could you perhaps choose a different request? As long as you can find the Flying Thunder God user, I will satisfy any other request you have."

Seeing Kurenai enter, Hiashi Hyuga wasn't concerned and once again pleaded with Mr. Lurigan.

This bastard is the Flying Thunder God user you're looking for.

Hearing Hiashi's plea, Kurenai rolled her eyes and stood by, not planning to leave. After all, she had to teach Mr. Lurigan genjutsu later and might as well watch him act, rip them off, and make outrageous demands.

She glanced at the Third Hokage and Hiashi, feeling like she was watching two big fools.

Paying Mr. Lurigan to investigate himself, how foolish is that?

"Fine, I'll accept your commission for now. Once I find the Flying Thunder God user, we can negotiate. Don't disappoint me then."

Mr. Lurigan turned to Kurenai, saying, "Miss Kurenai, let's go practice genjutsu."

Having agreed to Hiashi's request, seeing Kurenai nearby, Mr. Lurigan was in no mood to continue acting.

"Okay."

Seeing Mr. Lurigan staring at her, Kurenai blushed and nodded, walking out.

"See you next time."

Mr. Lurigan waved, following Kurenai out, leaving the Third Hokage and Hiashi bewildered.

"Does he have feelings for Kurenai?"

Seeing Mr. Lurigan become so agreeable when Kurenai appeared, Hiashi was taken aback.

"Maybe..."

The Third Hokage was also puzzled.

He suddenly questioned if spending 35 million ryo to learn genjutsu was Mr. Lurigan's real intention.

Hearing this, Hiashi squinted his eyes, considering that perhaps he could use this angle. The Hyuga clan didn't lack handsome men and beautiful women.

Finding a few attractive branch family girls might win Mr. Lurigan over.

Whether those girls would agree wasn't his concern. Branch families serving the main family was their duty.

Meanwhile...

Once outside, Kurenai suddenly sped towards the forest outside Konoha. It was unclear if she wanted to shake off Shishou or if she wanted him to chase her.

"Is Tsunade with you?"

Reaching the spot where she used to practice genjutsu, Kurenai asked the question she was most concerned about.

"Uh, no, I don't know where she is right now. But she should be back soon."

Shishou resumed his true form, arms crossed, leaning against a tree. He glanced at Kurenai's stunning face, then looked up at the sky, thinking about how to get her to reveal the Yuhi clan's Yin Release training methods.

Yin Release would be very useful for Shizune, Mikoto, and Yakumo.

"You didn't come last time, so why are you here now?"

Not satisfied with his answer, Kurenai's tone was cold. Although she wasn't sure what response would satisfy her, hearing Tsunade would be back soon didn't make her happy.

Is she blaming me for standing her up last time?

Shishou glanced at her and said, "I heard Konoha was looking for me, so I came."

Hearing this, Kurenai felt a twinge of disappointment. She had thought he came to see her...

Wait, why am I disappointed? He's Tsunade's man. I shouldn't have any inappropriate thoughts about him...

It's his fault for teasing me last time and then standing me up, making me think these unnecessary thoughts. It must be that.

Realizing this, Kurenai was shocked by her own thoughts and quickly tried to rationalize her feelings.

"Miss Kurenai, I want your clan's Yin Release training methods."

Seeing her silent, Shishou spoke again.

"Yin Release training methods?"

Kurenai froze, then coldly said, "Family secrets, cannot be shared."

Shishou was speechless.

"Genjutsu: Demonic Illusion: Three Jewels Suction Crush, Genjutsu: Tree Bind Death..."

"These are techniques I developed myself, not family secrets."

Hearing him recite the genjutsu she taught him, Kurenai blushed in defense.

"Then what would it take for you to give me the Yin Release training methods?"

Break up with Tsunade and be my boyfriend...

Kurenai subconsciously thought, looking at his handsome face.

Then she was shocked at her own shameless thought...

This man is toxic!

He's definitely toxic.

I absolutely can't stay with him anymore, or I'll be in trouble.

He's Tsunade's man...

Blushing, Kurenai performed the Body Flicker Technique and fled.

"Huh?"

Seeing her run away, Shishou was puzzled. He followed her, chasing after her.

Why is he chasing me...

Kurenai, seeing him follow, panicked and sped up, heading away from Konoha.

"What is she up to?"

Having finally gotten Kurenai to meet, Shishou didn't plan to let her go easily. He needed to get the Yin Release training methods.

Otherwise, he would have to turn to the Yamanaka clan.

Although Inoichi Yamanaka wasn't a bad alternative...

With this in mind, Shishou sped up, following Kurenai to see what she was planning.

Why is he still chasing me...

Kurenai, worried, sped up again, trying to shake him off, heading towards the outskirts of a small town called Hino in the Land of Fire.

Kakuzu, leaving the bounty station near the town, saw Kurenai and squinted his eyes.

"Heh heh, today is my lucky day."
