Aoba's soul was in Tatsuma's body. He controlled Tatsuma and summoned all the bugs flying out of the sky through chakra.
Hum Hum Hum Hum Hum...
The densely packed bugs continuously flapped their wings and drilled into Tatsuma's body.
This process was not strange to Tatsuma.
But now, it was Aoba's spiritual will controlling it.
In Aoba's perspective, it was as if these bugs had drilled into his body, making him feel like he was in a difficult situation.
At the same time, the soul belonging to Tatsuma was stubbornly resisting the pressure of Aoba's soul.
"You haven't given up resisting yet,"
Aoba said indifferently. His spiritual energy was powerful, and without any suspense, it suppressed Tatsuma's soul. However, this process still consumed a lot of his spiritual energy.
He couldn't delay any longer.
He had to get rid of it quickly. Otherwise, he would be worn out.
Aoba first controlled Tatsuma's hand to touch the ninja bag at his waist. He untied the ninja bag and threw it at the motionless Aoba in front of him.
Then, Aoba continued to control his hands and began to form seals one after another.
Tatsuma's soul instantly begins to fiercely resist, almost crazily fighting for control of the body.
As a member of the Aburame Clan, Tatsuma was very clear about what the seals his body was making.
He had no time to think about how Aoba knew about this secret technique. Right now, he only wanted to quickly regain control of his body.
However, Aoba's soul was like a mountain. It pressed down on Tatsuma to the point where he could not even breathe.
No matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't be able to escape and was unable to regain control of his body.
"Hijutsu, Mushi-sō (Secret Technique: Insect Burial)!"
Aoba controlled Tatsuma's body and completed the secret technique that Aburame Clan rarely used.
The chakra command released all the bugs that made a contract in his body and ordered these bugs to devour his body.
Use their everything as a sacrifice to the bugs they raise.
This was the insect burial secret technique!
This was the secret technique of the Aburame Clan to commit suicide to save information when they had no other choice.
The bugs that carried out the insect burial would devour their host in an unstoppable manner, and then they would quickly die in a short period of time because they lost their host, the source of their chakra food.
Right now, Aoba was using this insect burial technique on Tatsuma.
Hum Hum Hum Hum Hum Hum Hum Hum
In an instant, all the bugs on Tatsuma's body flew out, turning his body into an empty nest. After that, these bugs swarmed towards Tatsuma's body as if they had gone crazy.
The insect burial had already begun, and there was no turning back.
Aoba released the Mind Body Switch Technique in an instant, and his soul returned to his body.
A feeling of exhaustion welled up in his heart.
After using the Mind Body Switch Technique just now, Aoba had used up a lot of energy. Although his Sage Body was recovering at a terrifying speed, it still made him feel very tired.
"Ahhhhhh!"
At this time, a sharp scream rang out.
As soon as this scream appeared, it immediately stopped.
Aoba raised his eyes and looked at the tree branch in front of him.
He saw that Tatsuma's body was surrounded by a dense number of bugs, constantly gnawing on his body. The part of his throat had been bitten off, so he could no longer make any sound.
"If you pretended not to see me, this would not have happened. In the end, it was you who brought this upon yourself."
Aoba indifferently watched as Tatsuma died under the bugs he raised. This was the most suitable way for the Aburame Clan to die to a certain extent.
Gradually.
As time passed.
Tatsuma's body was entirely devoured by these bugs under Aoba's gaze.
There was not even a single residue left.
It was even more clean and efficient than cremation.
After devouring Tatsuma's body, these bugs seemed to have lost their souls and fell to the ground one after another.
Almost in an instant, the ground was turned pitch black.
"I'll send you guys on your way."
Aoba stood on the branch. He did not use any ninjutsu but instead began to turn into white pieces of paper from his lower body.
Shikigami no Mai(Dance of the Shikigami)!
It was the ability that Aoba had obtained from reading Tatsuma's memory.
Let's use this ability to end these bugs!
Pieces of paper flew in the air, and the sharpness of the edges of this paper was no weaker than any sharp weapon.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The pieces of paper quickly flew out and bombarded the bugs on the ground.
These attacks cut the bugs on the ground into several pieces indiscriminately.
It lasted for ten minutes. Only then did it stop.
At this moment, there were no more bugs left on the ground.
The biggest reason Aoba didn't directly use fire ninjutsu to burn these bugs was that it was now a silent night. The sudden appearance of fire would probably attract the attention of others.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The white paper that filled the sky flew towards Aoba.
At the same time, Aoba jumped down from the branch.
The moment he landed on the ground. The white paper formed his legs again, returning to his normal form.
"Now it's time to bury you cute little ones."
Aoba looked down at the remains of the bugs on the ground. He then took out a small bottle from Tatsuma's ninja bag.
This small bottle contained Corpse Dissolving Water.
Not only could it dissolve the corpses of humans, but it could also be used on these bugs.
This was an everyday item that Tatsuma, as a ninja of Root, needed to prepare for an assassination mission.
Aoba opened the small bottle containing Corpse Dissolving Water and sprinkled it over the dense corpses of the bugs on the ground.
Chi chi chi chi chi chi...
In a split second, white smoke rose from the corpses of these bugs, and they were dissolving at speed visible to the naked eye.
In the memories of Tatsuma, Aoba had obtained some precautions regarding the usage of Corpse Dissolving Water. The most important thing was that it could only be used on corpses and not living bodies.
Corpse Dissolving Water will cause severe pain to the living body, and it was easy to cause the living body to do their dying counterattack.
Because of this, Aoba first uses Shikigami no Mai(Dance of the Shikigami) to kill the bugs before using Corpse Dissolving Water to destroy the bugs' trace.
Swish swish swish...
At this time, there was a rustling sound from the other side of the small forest.
It was the direction where the female voice had just shouted.
Aoba immediately felt a stream of chakra quickly coming closer to his position.
"Retreat!"
Aoba's pupils slightly shrunk. He could not afford to offend this woman who was coming closer.
Through the memories of Tatsuma, he already knew the identity of this woman.
This was a deliberate assassination and had unintentionally disturbed it.
Only.
Aoba was very clear.
Even without his interruption, this assassination would not have succeeded.
The reason was very simple. That woman was too strong!
"Time to go!"
Aoba suddenly exerted strength in his ankle and instantly flashed out extremely fast.
...
The moment Aoba left, an impressive figure appeared at the spot where Aoba had just been. Her eyes were staring in the direction Aoba had gone in.
Under the reflection of the moonlight.
Her sight captured the young man's back with golden hair that quickly left.
"Could it be Minato?"
The woman's face was pale. She obviously hadn't recovered her strength. When she saw the golden hair youth, she immediately thought of Minato.
