"Genjutsu! It must be Genjutsu!"
"Genjutsu: Release!"
"Release!"
"Release!"
"Release!"
"Haaah!"
Seeing Aburame Ryoma on the verge of completely breaking down, Uchiha Yoru secretly thought, *He's still just an eleven- or twelve-year-old kid!*
He wasn't the fully developed Aburame Ryoma of later years, and his destructive parasite insect technique still lacked venom, its attack method relying on the traditional chakra absorption of the destructive parasite insect technique.
But Uchiha Yoru wouldn't choose to sympathize.
Instead, he doubled his efforts, not only speeding up the theft of insects but also controlling the insects to extract even more chakra from Aburame Ryoma, beginning the synthesis of +3 grade-3 destructive parasite insects.
However, Aburame Ryoma didn't notice.
Instead, he worked harder, increasing his output, trying to make the destructive parasite insects wrapped around Uchiha Yoru's body exert more force.
And he quickly divided even more destructive parasite insects from his body.
Completely ignoring the abnormal speed of his chakra consumption at that moment.
Meanwhile, the chakra in Uchiha Yoru's body was becoming more and more abundant.
Uchiha Yoru laughed inwardly, then commented calmly, "Hehehe, in my opinion, the Aburame clan's Destructive Parasite Insects are only formidable because of their rapid growth. An excellent insect user can not only help them adapt quickly to various extreme combat situations but also make them infiltrate the human body, absorb chakra, and make the enemy explode."
"Your destructive parasite insect technique seems powerful, smaller, and harder to counter, but in the end, it hasn't reached the point of being invisible to the naked eye."
"And it's lost the ability to expand rapidly, not to mention the loss of a fatal strike."
"As long as special means are used to counter it, the current situation will persist."
"Captain Ryoma! Admit it, in this duel, you've already lost!"
"You've completely lost!"
The grade-3 destructive parasite insects became even more powerful, their size so small they were completely invisible to the naked eye, while their chakra storage limit increased further, and their release range extended from his body to three meters.
This made Uchiha Yoru realize that to turn the tide now, the best way was to upgrade the destructive parasite insects as much as possible.
And Uchiha Yoru was also very curious to see what level the higher-grade destructive parasite insects could reach.
The massive chakra from Aburame Ryoma made his eyes burn with desire.
If he didn't use such a significant power bank now, he wouldn't know when the next opportunity to rapidly upgrade his destructive parasite insects would come.
Although a single destructive parasite insect didn't consume much chakra to upgrade due to its small size, because of their massive numbers, upgrading them consumed an astronomical amount of chakra.
And he didn't belong to the Aburame clan and lacked the ability to create insects. If he didn't seize the chance to harvest from Aburame Ryoma today, the next time he wanted his insects to progress quickly, he'd have to wait for them to reproduce naturally!
"Shut up, stop talking to yourself, kid! How could you understand the true meaning of a nano-level Destructive Parasite Insect Technique! I am the true future of the Aburame clan! The Destructive Parasite Insect Technique is the true direction for the Aburame clan! Die!"
To Uchiha Yoru, the people of the Hokage world seemed to have some kind of eccentricity.
Killing teammates was commonplace for Aburame Ryoma, but insulting his insects could directly enrage him.
With his movements, Aburame Ryoma's chakra surged wildly.
The next instant, a massive number of destructive parasite insects emerged from the ground around them.
Forming four thick pillars of insects that blotted out the sky.
Trees collapsed with a loud rumble.
The commotion in the Forest of Death grew even greater.
But it still couldn't shake the three-meter radius around Uchiha Yoru, where invisible "currents" spun rapidly like a revolving sky.
That's right, all the destructive parasite insects on Uchiha Yoru had evolved into grade-3 destructive parasite insects.
This made Uchiha Yoru even more at ease.
Even his older Tai Chi movements became more relaxed.
While converting the Destructive Parasite Insects, he even had the leisure to adjust his posture, seeming so bored with the fight that he began perfecting his martial arts.
Aburame Ryoma's hands and feet trembled with rage.
This naturally evil Uchiha!
He doesn't treat me like a person at all!
However, the battle was short-lived. As Uchiha Yoru considered intensifying his efforts and focusing on rapidly upgrading a portion of the Destructive Parasite Insects, momentarily neglecting quantity…
Suddenly, the sound of ninjas leaping through the forest could be heard from afar.
It startled both of them simultaneously.
Aburame Ryoma had consumed a lot of chakra, and his internal insect swarm was somewhat restless, but he had no injuries on his body.
In contrast, Uchiha Yoru's clothes were in tatters, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and with the obvious dried corpses around him killed by the destructive parasite insects, right and wrong were clear at a glance.
How could Aburame Ryoma dare to stay longer?
He immediately prepared to recall his insects and leave first.
Uchiha Yoru grew anxious at the sight.
He quickly began draining his chakra reserves, for no other reason than wanting to see how much change upgrading an object to grade 10 could bring.
He had a hunch that an insect or object upgraded to level 10 would surely bring an unexpected surprise.
Otherwise, wouldn't the "God" in "Super God Fusion" become a joke?
Though his system had completely vanished after leaving behind a golden finger, appearing as a small workshop, friends who frequently cross dimensions know that small workshops are generous with their materials!
Thinking of this, Uchiha Yoru immediately focused all his attention, placing his consciousness on a small handful of insects he had casually grabbed in his palm.
He began rapidly fusing them in pairs.
It was extraordinary!
According to standard destructive parasite insects, to upgrade one insect to grade 10, it would require 1024 insects, each undergoing ten fusions.
It sounds complicated, but in reality, it happened in a brief instant.
Not only the chakra Uchiha Yoru had just replenished from the insects but also the chakra stored in his other grade-3 insects was completely drained in less than a second, nearly to nothing.
If Uchiha Yoru hadn't stopped in time, leaving a few behind, not only he but even the insects on his body might have fallen into a dormant state!
As a result, only three +10 grade-10 destructive parasite insects appeared in Uchiha Yoru's hand, along with two grade-9 destructive parasite insects that almost fused successfully but were stopped in time.
At this point, if Aburame Ryoma's so-called destructive parasite insect technique was at most at the micron level, then Uchiha Yoru's destructive parasite insects were truly at the nano level.
Truly invisible to the naked eye.
Seeing Aburame Ryoma about to escape, Uchiha Yoru had no time to meticulously examine the differences in the grade-10 destructive parasite insects.
With a thought, the destructive parasite insects in his hand chased Aburame Ryoma at a speed that surprised even Uchiha Yoru.
And instantly, they burrowed into his body, heading straight for his heart.
Finally, as Aburame Ryoma's figure disappeared from view, his connection with the destructive parasite insects vanished completely.
Only a vague sense of direction remained in his mind.
This also meant that even though Uchiha Yoru hadn't completely lost contact with the three destructive parasite insects, he could no longer give them orders.
Just then, figures arrived, stunned by everything that had happened.
At the same moment, as a small white snake vanished nearby, Orochimaru, deep in the Forest of Death, suddenly felt a jolt.
A look of astonishment crossed his face, replaced by an expression of extreme excitement, and the fatigue on his face vanished instantly.
His eyes gleamed with a captivating light.
"Sage Body? Magnificent! Truly, on the path to seeking truth, one always encounters delightful winds!"
