Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 336 Hidden Star Palace of the Star Ninja Village

Inside the underground palace of Hoshigakure, Aburame Shisei smiled slightly after receiving the news. Yukimaru hadn't felt lonely for two or three years, so why was he suddenly going to learn forging techniques?

It was obvious the other party was lying, and it probably wasn't for his own sake. He was skilled with insects and not in hand-to-hand combat; he relied entirely on ranged attacks. What use would a knife be to him?

So who is it really for?

Aburame Shisei suddenly became interested. He wanted to know who his subordinate was asking him for.

Just then, the surveillance bugs he had placed outside also responded.

Aburame Shisei looked up and saw that the branch family member of the Hyuga clan had found their way here.

He released an insect. Soon after, Hyuga Kagami followed the insect into the underground palace. As soon as he saw Aburame Shisei, he bowed down and knelt on the ground.

"Hyuga Kagami greets you, sir."

"No need for formalities. It seems you've done a good job with your mission." Aburame Shigeaki turned around, stopping what he was doing. "Let's talk somewhere else. The radiation here is a bit strong; it's not good for your health anyway."

Hyuga Kagami was also slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that this powerful figure hiding in the shadows would be such a peaceful person.

As expected, the rumors from the outside world were not to be believed. How could an adult be such a vicious demon?

Upon arriving at the conference hall, Aburame Zhicheng raised his hand, and a large brown worm flew to the two of them, its tail peeking out from its small mouth, filling the teacups placed in front of them.

Hyuga Mirror was utterly astonished: "My lord, what is this?"

"Insect-making insects. They produce various kinds of fruit wine and fermented wine by sucking nectar from flowers and fruits. You can think of them as insects that can produce different drinks."

It's truly... truly amazing!

As expected, big shots know how to enjoy life. To get a good drink, they've actually cultivated a completely unproductive insect. I wonder how many resources and how much effort it takes to cultivate such an insect.

Hyuga Kagami picked up his teacup and took a small sip. The flavor was rich and sweet, with a hint of bitterness unique to insects, but it wasn't unpleasant; rather, it added a distinctive touch to the overall sweet and delicious taste.

In short, he likes it, he likes it a lot.

With another snap of his fingers, Yu Nu Zhicheng sent two tiny insects, no bigger than a fingernail, to the ground. They suddenly burst open and instantly swelled into two beanbag chairs.

He gestured for the other person to sit down.

Hinata Kagami sat down as instructed and felt that the sofa was exceptionally soft and perfectly suited to his bones, allowing him to relax completely.

"I presume you have already found that giant Reincarnation Eye."

"That's right, my lord. However, the eye power within contains the wills of hundreds of people, and there are too many distracting thoughts. If I were to absorb it rashly, I feel I would go insane. Therefore, I would like to offer my merits and request your assistance, my lord. I wonder if that would be sufficient?"

"Actually, it's not enough."

Aburame Shisei's words made Hyuga Kagami's heart sink. He knew it. However, his headache had been getting worse lately, which was probably because the main family members had been activating the Caged Bird Seiryu, trying to curse him to death.

If he hadn't absorbed both Byakugan beforehand, he'd probably be dead by now. But that's not enough, still not enough. To completely break free of the Caged Bird Seal, his eyes must undergo a drastic change, transforming into the Tenseigan.

So he got up again, knelt on the ground, crossed his hands and pressed them to his forehead, and kowtowed, saying, "Please, Lord, save me."

"Get up, I've already prepared everything for you. But there are still some tasks for you after this. Those tailed beasts have been imprisoned by humans for so long, it's truly pitiful. Once you've successfully completed your transformation, go and release them all."

"Are we going to break their seals?" Hyuga Kagami stood up and asked carefully.

Aburame Shisei replied, "Under normal circumstances, tailed beasts are immortal."

Hyuga Kagami instantly understood what he meant.

Suddenly, he noticed a pure white eye appearing in front of him.

It was a white eye, but it was a white eye that could not be transplanted because the veins on it had been completely removed.

Not only that, but many golden sealing techniques also appeared on it, making it a ninja tool that had been modified by sealing techniques.

"This is another eye from the Hyuga main family, but I've used a special sealing technique to transform it into a filter. When you absorb the giant Tenseigan, you can concentrate all the spiritual impurities within it here."

"Once it's fully absorbed, you can send it back. I still need what's inside."

"Thank you, sir!" Hyuga Kagami thanked him again, took the eyeball, and turned to leave the room.

He did not leave the underground palace, but went to another forbidden room for seclusion.

As for Shisei Aburame, he returned to the radiation chamber. In the center of this radiation chamber was the Star Stone of the Star Ninja Village, which was covered by a special crystal.

He had initially thought that the star stone was related to the Ten-Tails, but later found out that it wasn't.

This is a meteorite from outer space, but it was accidentally tainted with chakra energy.

Its energy level is one level higher than chakra, but it is not as high as pure natural energy.

However, it does possess some dark attribute, which could be used to cultivate Soul-Devouring Worms. The Box of Bliss is no longer useful; at this rate, it will likely be completely devoured in less than six months.

As for the beast without a mortal body here?

As soon as Yu Nu Zhicheng raised his hand, the one-eyed creature obediently flew over and hung on his hand.

There is nothing in this world that cannot be tamed. If there is, it's because the force is insufficient.

At that moment, the communication bug responded again, projecting Orochimaru's voice.

"Long time no see, Zhicheng-kun. I didn't expect you to have moved again." Orochimaru watched the projected image; it was clearly not the previous underground palace.

After chatting for a while, he finally got to the point: "Zhicheng-kun, I've caught the spider-like summon you wanted, and it's even an earth-attribute one, so it can use earth-style ninjutsu."

Aburame Shisei glanced at the screen and saw that it was indeed a very beautiful spider, and it even possessed a ninjutsu that could instantly lay eggs and split into baby spiders.

It should be the one that will become Kidomaru in the future; it does indeed have some talent to become a celestial pet.

Orochimaru then turned the camera aside and said, "And here are the remains of the first founder of the Tsuchigumo clan that you requested. Our previous transaction is now complete; I put in quite a bit of effort."

"By the way, I've recently made some progress in soul ninjutsu, but the missing part is in the hands of the witches of the Land of Demons, which is quite troublesome."

Although the other party is a witch, she is the apparent leader of the Demon Kingdom, making it inappropriate to directly rob her. Most importantly, she possesses the ability to foresee death.
