Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 611 First Collective Meeting

Under the hazy sky above Snow King Castle, fine snowflakes drifted down from the clouds, landing on the shoulders of the mourners, as if the sky itself was draping the former king in mourning clothes.

Feng Hua Zao Xue's body was placed in an ice coffin, surrounded by ice crystal flowers unique to Snow King Castle. These flowers bloom only below zero degrees Celsius, with petals as thin as cicada wings that reflect a cold light in the sunlight.

Aburame Zhicheng stood before the coffin, feeling a little irritated for some reason, and disliked the atmosphere.

The main problem was that there were too many people attending the funeral, most of whom were not trained, and some had never even seen those so-called celebrities.

Think about it, Feng Huazaoxue was once a king, then a scientist, and finally a director, a famous one at that. The career leap for his daughter's dream of becoming a star is quite large.

As for Feng Hua Xiaoxue, she was already crying her eyes out, showing no trace of the former movie queen's dignity. At this moment, she was just a little girl who had lost her father, even though she was already in her early thirties.

Feng Hua Nu Tao stood to the side, with Deidara, whom he didn't get along with, beside him. He was usually very noisy, but he quieted down in this situation.

"Teacher, did my brother really die in an accident?" He turned around and asked a very pointless question.

"There was no mastermind behind it all," Aburame Shigechi answered calmly. "They all died in accidents, and very quickly. Don't you already know? High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar plus sudden death."

Feng Hua Nu Tao nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He believed that You Nu Zhi Cheng wouldn't lie to him, as the tone of her answer was very problematic and too stiff.

So the Lord probably already knows the answer, or perhaps he simply doesn't care what the answer is.

That's true. His disciple was only nominally his, and he had only inherited some physical techniques and one technique that he hadn't fully mastered yet.

He later learned that ocean currents are a way of sensing and utilizing the power of heaven and earth.

Xiaoxue, who had fainted from crying, was dragged away by her boyfriend, as flames rose up.

The ice coffin melted in the high temperature, mingling with the flames and turning into rising water vapor.

The remains of Feng Hua Zao Xue gradually blurred in the firelight, eventually mingling with the snowflakes dancing in the sky, inseparable from each other.

The surrounding fans were also in tears; the scene felt even more painful than if their own loved ones had died.

Aburame Shicheng frowned, turned and left. Actually, he was a little regretful now, regretting that he had come to attend this funeral.

Because it's meaningless.

The dead will not be resurrected because of the living's attachment, nor will the living stop moving forward because of the dead's departure.

Some truths are cheap to say, but sometimes time will prove everything.

After leaving the Land of Snow, Aburame Shisei did not return directly to the capital, but instead landed in a desolate wilderness halfway through his journey.

This place is desolate and uninhabited, covered with green grass, stretching as far as the eye can see. He never imagined that the former desert would turn into grassland.

He absorbed the relaxing atmosphere of the grassland and soon noticed that there were insects invisible to the naked eye under the grass.

So what looks like grass is actually an insect. It's a dried grass insect, the creator of which is unaware of its purpose, but it's quite useful.

"Find him, reward him tomorrow!" Since he was all alone, no one knew who he was talking to.

He stood there in the wilderness, eyes closed, motionless, while the ghost insects and invisible scorpions behind him dared not utter a sound.

This was the first time they had seen their Lord in such a state, after following him for so long.

"My lord, do you like grass?" the invisible scorpion asked cautiously.

Even the ghost fairy was speechless. How could you ask such a question?

He immediately guessed that the Lord not only liked grass, but also grass's father, the creator of this grass.

Can't you see everyone is asking about his whereabouts?

Aburame Shisei did not respond to the two insects' words, nor did he expect them to be considering any strange or unusual things.

He suddenly said, "I'm wondering why some people can come and go so freely."

"Huh?" This sudden turn of events left Lai Lai completely bewildered.

"The Otsutsuki all possess spatial abilities, allowing them to appear anywhere at any time. This allows those hiding in their own little worlds to observe the outside world at any time; they're like rats, constantly coming to steal things from homes."

"If we could sense the spatial fluctuations in advance and envelop the entire world in a barrier, wouldn't the situation be different?"

Why are you thinking of locking people up again, my lord?

The Invisible Scorpion was speechless. He said he didn't care, but in reality, he probably already considered the planet his own.

Go ahead and pretend, I've seen through your master.

The Invisible Scorpion feigned surprise for a moment: "My lord, you mean...?"

"I want to create a barrier," said Shisei Aburame. "That will cover the entire globe."

The Ghost Immortal Insect gasped in shock: "Global coverage?!"

"No-fly barrier".

Aburame Shisei continued, "Except for the specific areas and locations I designate, no one is allowed to use teleportation abilities anywhere. Space-time ninjutsu, time travel, and interdimensional transfer are all locked down."

In addition, he also needs to find some broken alternate dimensions and fill them into his own space.

There are just too many dilapidated worlds around this planet, so many that he's starting to get annoyed. He figured it would be better to find them sooner, destroy them sooner, and have some peace and quiet sooner.

Then, we can wholeheartedly welcome the arrival of the Otsutsuki clan. If we catch a few more and feed them to the insects, they should be able to complete their final metamorphosis.

The human body and soul still provide too little energy, especially for most people. Because they have lived with insects for too long, some of their genes have been partially assimilated, which may be the reason for the weakening of energy.

Another issue is that the energy level is too low; quantity alone is not enough, quality is also necessary.

The next day, Yu Nu Zhicheng appeared in the conference room of the Five Elements Academy in the capital.

Because this was the first time he had announced a meeting, almost all of the organization's top executives were gathered in the conference room.

From left to right, they belong to multiple camps. The folding fan-shaped theater is the podium, and Aburame Shisei stands in the very center.

On the far right, Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi sat in the first row, Anko Mitarashi, Kimimaro Kaguya, Suigetsu Hozuki, Haku Minazuki, and Guren sat in the second row, Kidomaru, Sakon and Ukon, Jirobo and Tayuya sat in the third row, and the fourth row was occupied by several strange and unfamiliar creatures.

The middle section is considered a directly affiliated administrative department of the state. The first row consists of Kakuzu, Naoto, Minami, Shibuki, Kota Ida, and Belta. Behind them are Shino Aburame, Shimi Arimome, Michi, Ryuzetsu, and some newly recruited organization members.

The leftmost group consists of five witches: Fuuka, Deidara, Red Sasori, Yomi, Yuukimaru, Fu, Mui, Hikari and Kagami, Chikachi, and Maria Ozawa.
