Chapter 190: Aburame Ryoma Must Die
Parasitic Insects tornado, dense spider silk appeared, preparing to tie up Yakushi Nonou and bring her back to Danzo.
Yakushi Nonou side-eyed toward the sea surface.
A great sword whirled through the air with a whistling sound and smashed into the Parasitic Insects tornado.
Aburame Ryoma hurriedly turned his head, looking in the direction the great sword had flown from.
Suikazan Fuguya’s tall figure rose and fell with the seawater.
Suikazan Fuguya said: “Walking Witch, you killed Hozuki Murgetsu, do you still want to return to Konoha?
I need to get your corpse to make the Hozuki Clan shut up and stop demanding Samehada from me.”
The great sword Samehada was nailed into the stone, its bandages unwinding circle by circle, revealing a blade covered in spikes.
Aburame Ryoma said: “Yakushi Nonou! You actually brought Mist Ninja to ambush me!”
Yakushi Nonou explained: “I told you, the Sword Seizing Unit was utterly defeated, my situation is extremely dire, and I don’t know when Suikazan Fuguya tracked me.”
Aburame Ryoma moved.
He rapidly charged toward Samehada, grabbing its hilt.
Suikazan Fuguya had gotten cocky, actually throwing such a precious ninja sword over.
However, spikes suddenly protruded from the hilt, slashing Aburame Ryoma’s hand.
Aburame Ryoma hurriedly threw the great sword Samehada away; he hadn’t expected Samehada to have such an ability.
The great sword Samehada swam back to Suikazan Fuguya’s feet.
Suikazan Fuguya picked up the great sword Samehada: “You, a Konoha Anbu, what qualification do you have to hold Samehada?”
The two’s battle erupted suddenly.
Samehada swung, smashing toward Aburame Ryoma’s head.
Bang!
Aburame Ryoma burst open in an instant, turning into countless Parasitic Insects.
“Insect Clone?”
The Parasitic Insects flew in the air, then gathered in the distance into Aburame Ryoma’s upper body.
Everything below the waist was gone, only increasingly sparse, fewer and fewer flying Parasitic Insects.
Aburame Ryoma was known as Root’s most skilled ninja at infiltration; even a gap of a few millimeters allowed him to infiltrate with an Insect Clone.
His body could completely turn into insects and reassemble at will.
Aburame Ryoma said: “Yakushi Nonou, fight Suikazan Fuguya with me, then return to the village!”
He wasn’t worried about Yakushi Nonou refusing; the Konoha Orphanage was under Lord Danzo’s control, and if the Danzo Advisor got angry, he would really kill all the orphans.
At the end of every year, Danzo would let Yakushi Nonou return to the village, back to the orphanage.
That was Yakushi Nonou’s weakness.
Yakushi Nonou lowered her palm, a chakra scalpel appearing in her hand.
As soon as she advanced, she was swept flying by Samehada.
Suikazan Fuguya ignored the Walking Witch; this woman’s combat power wasn’t strong, the main enemy was the Aburame Anbu.
Crashing onto a stone, Yakushi Nonou bit her lip on purpose, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
The stone behind her cracked; in reality, she wasn’t injured at all.
She had always cultivated an image of excelling at disguise and lurking; no one knew her true combat strength.
Seeing Yakushi Nonou as useless, Aburame Ryoma formed hand seals with both hands, the Parasitic Insects under him multiplying.
“Secret Jutsu · Insect Tide Prison!”
Countless insects burst from the ground, instantly covering the entire ground.
The surroundings were pitch black, filled with the sound of insects devouring.
The insects suddenly took flight, dozens of insect pillars over a meter thick and more than ten meters high dividing the battlefield.
Suikazan Fuguya hurriedly leaped into mid-air.
The dozens of surrounding insect pillars instantly turned into insect dragons, pouncing toward Suikazan Fuguya from different directions.
On the distant sea surface, Yoru was startled.
Aburame Ryoma’s strength was truly formidable; the scale of Parasitic Insects was at least four or five times that of Aries.
Suikazan Fuguya in mid-air formed hand seals: “Water Release: Raging Waves!”
The nearby sea level dropped instantly; Yoru hurriedly sank, nearly exposed by the changing water level.
Tens-of-meters-high waves directly smashed the towering seaside cliffs, and as for Aburame Ryoma’s Parasitic Insects, they were directly engulfed by Water Style.
In terms of ninjutsu scale, no village could compare to the Hidden Mist Village.
Mist Technique could easily cover several kilometers.
Combined Water Style was like a tsunami, stretching endlessly left and right.
Aburame Ryoma’s Insect Tide Prison spanned dozens of meters, already exaggerated, but it was still insignificant against Suikazan Fuguya’s Water Style.
Suikazan Fuguya stood on the water wave, forming seals again.
The tips of his hair hardened, piercing into the water.
Dense hair, like hundreds or thousands of steel wires, rampaged in the water.
“Hair Needle Seaweed!”
Aburame Ryoma’s body vanished, visible only as a cloud-like mass of insects in the water.
Suikazan Fuguya’s hair spread like seaweed, instantly filling the tens-of-meters-high waves.
The hair couldn’t pierce every insect, so Hair Needle Seaweed formed a vortex sphere underwater, enveloping all the insects and instantly collapsing inward to crush them.
The insects were crushed in the gaps between the hair, inside the sphere formed by the hair.
Green juice appeared in the seawater—that was the burst pulp from the crushed Parasitic Insects.
As the waves receded, Suikazan Fuguya released the large Hair Needle Seaweed sphere, revealing heaps of crushed Parasitic Insects inside.
He used another Water Style to scatter the Parasitic Insects corpses, but found no bodies inside.
Had he actually killed the Aburame Anbu?
He turned his head again and found the Walking Witch was gone too.
Busy for half a day, all for nothing—no one killed, no one captured.
As Suikazan Fuguya’s Water Style ended, the borrowed seawater quickly returned to the ocean, and the surrounding sea level rose significantly.
Yoru hid in the seawater and noticed a dark shadow, following it.
Aburame Ryoma escaped Suikazan Fuguya’s terrifying Water Style Needle Secret Jutsu.
To counter the Land of Whirlpools’ Mist Ninja, Aburame Ryoma had cultivated many Water Lice Insects.
The Water Lice Insects freely moving in the water finally reassembled his body, allowing him to narrowly escape Suikazan Fuguya’s killing move.
The Aburame Clan’s insects were far stronger than others imagined.
A mass of Water Lice Insects swam rapidly underwater until far from the battlefield, then reassembled into Aburame Ryoma’s body.
Aburame Ryoma in the water looked up at the sea surface; the moon was shattered by the ripples, sparkling, and as soon as he surfaced, he could breathe fresh oxygen.
The next instant!
His whole body shuddered!
A hand pierced through his back and out his front chest!
This hand crushed his heart right before his eyes.
The Parasitic Insects nurtured in his heart swam out with the shattered heart, quickly dying.
What Aburame Ryoma saw was a red copper color arm!
Copper Fox!
How dare he?
How did he body flicker behind him? Why had he felt nothing?
What ability was this?
Another hand pierced out from his right chest lung, crushing Aburame Ryoma’s lung.
The Parasitic Insects in his lungs were squeezed out, dying in the seawater.
A fox mask slowly emerged from behind Aburame Ryoma’s neck.
This Black Tiger Heart Dig, even Uchiha Madara couldn’t withstand it, let alone you Aburame Ryoma.
Aburame Ryoma’s Insect Clone was too strong, so this cruel and disgusting method was necessary to ensure the kill.
Water Clone was Yoru’s greatest trump card.
Absolute Defense Copper Light was just a show for outsiders; Water Clone was his sure-kill technique.
In this vast ocean, Water Clone’s power was infinitely amplified.
Hanzo earned the demigod title in the Hidden Rain Village with Water Clone; Yoru in the seawater was equally godlike.
Root must be systematically weakened.
With Danzo’s personality of achieving major events while cherishing his own life, he always sent subordinates to probe in battles; if subordinates’ strength weakened, Danzo’s actions would be restricted.
Aburame Ryoma was Root’s number two; with Orochimaru only nominally under command, he was actually Danzo’s most capable subordinate and had to die.
After smashing Aburame Ryoma’s head, waiting a long time with no Clone Jutsu reformation, it seemed Aburame Ryoma was truly dead.
Dragging Aburame Ryoma’s corpse into the deep sea, weighing it down with stone, Yoru surfaced.
Next, time to meet the Walking Witch···
