Chapter 8: Lord Danzo's Will is the Will of the Root, but the Will of the Root may not necessarily be Lord Danzo's Will

Aburame Tatsuma had never seen such a scene before.

Akihara Kagura simply stood there as the dense swarm of bugs surrounding the young man tumultuously fell to the ground, piling up a thick layer of insects!

How could there be an enemy who doesn't mind being bitten by bugs? His own bugs, how could they overeat to the point of bursting?

Aburame Tatsuma had used his clan's secret techniques to defeat many enemies. Any enemy caught by his controlled swarm would be devoured of their chakra by the bugs, losing their ability to fight.

This time...

An unexpected event occurred.

As Akihara Kagura said, bugs are just bugs after all.

The bugs can only contain so much chakra, and the imagination of their breeder, Aburame Tatsuma, is also limited. He had never imagined someone could have such abundant chakra that the parasites within him would lose their ability to move...

"Secret Technique: Insect Cocoon!"

Aburame Tatsuma had other methods.

The Aburame clan often encountered the problem of running out of bugs in battle, so they also had unique secret techniques, using chakra to create insect cocoons to hatch more bugs!

"Parasitic Insects: Insect Tornado!"

A swarm of bugs turned into a tornado and attacked Akihara Kagura!

"I've said it before..."

"Bugs are just bugs!"

Akihara Kagura stomped on the floor, causing his inner chakra to erupt!

The fluctuation of chakra on the boy's body made Aburame Tatsuma feel a great crisis, let alone the bugs he just hatched!

The bugs that encountered the chakra explosion suddenly stiffened, as if blown by a hurricane, and countless bugs were thrown out, all smashed against the wall by this strong impact force!

"This chakra..."

Cold sweat dripped down Aburame Tatsuma's forehead.

For all these years, it was the first time Aburame Tatsuma had seen someone merely causing their inner chakra to erupt could form such a momentum!

His chakra was so powerful that Aburame Tatsuma could say it was unparalleled in his life!

This kid...

Is a terrifying opponent!

While Aburame Tatsuma was still marveling in his heart, he saw Akihara Kagura's body suddenly turn into a black shadow and rush towards him, frightening him into hurriedly dodging!

"It seems there's not much combat technique..."

Aburame Tatsuma watched the boy's somewhat clumsy attack method and felt slightly relieved: "Although the chakra is very powerful, he has never received any formal ninja training."

It's undeniable, this kid has talent, but to become a powerful force in the Root organization, there is still a long way to go!

"Kid..."

"Ninja battles aren't just about chakra"

Aburame Tatsuma's mood slowly relaxed and he appeared quietly beside Akihara Kagura, elbowing heavily down on his shoulder and neck!

Akihara Kagura felt a severe pain in his shoulder!

However, by the time Akihara Kagura turned his head, Aburame Tatsuma had already moved to the front of the boy, kicking heavily into the boy's chest!

Akihara Kagura was sent flying!

Aburame Tatsuma flew forward in pursuit, tightly grasping the boy's neck and pressed him against the wall: "Are you going to behave now?"

"..."

A mischievous smile appeared on the boy's face.

This smile tightened Aburame Tatsuma's heart!

Could this kid have some other combat method? Now that he is controlled, can he still form seals and cast jutsu?

Crack!

Akihara Kagura's clothes suddenly ripped! A sharp wooden spike emerged from his body, piercing Aburame Tatsuma's shoulder!

This is...

No hand seal jutsu!

The wooden spike of a Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, not cast using ninjutsu but growed from inside the body of the user?

He had been too careless!

Aburame Tatsuma immediately realized his peril!

A wooden spike was not something Aburame Tatsuma would fear, but he had seen the boy use wooden spikes to catch fish and knew how dangerous it was!

This spike...

Would grow inside his body!

Even if the spike was only in the shoulder, once it branched and grew inside, it would certainly pierce his entire body!

To escape this crisis, he either had to stop the boy from forming seals or quickly remove the spike!

But...

It was too late!

Bang!

Taking advantage of the moment Aburame Tatsuma was distracted, Akihara Kagura's elbow smashed against the wall, and using the force, he sent Aburame Tatsuma flying!

"Wooden Release: Piercing..."

Akihara Kagura raised his fingers!

"I give up!"

Aburame Tatsuma hurriedly raised his hand!

This kid was not some kind-hearted coward!

Aburame Tatsuma had seen firsthand, he was someone who took pleasure in killing, and dying at the hands of this kid was too humiliating!

"Sorry for the offense, senpai..."

Akihara Kagura's face immediately revealed a friendly smile: "From now on, to each their own. I'll call you senpai, and you call me Lord Kagura."

"..."

Aburame Tatsuma didn't know how to react in his mind.

A newbie, wanting to ride on his head on the first day?

As a loser, Aburame Tatsuma really couldn't refute it. The kid was willing to call him senpai, which was somewhat respectful...

Akibara Kagura looked at the silent Aburame Tatsuma and asked with a smile, "Senpai, I am so respectful to you, are you not willing to even call me Lord Kagura?"

"This..."

Aburame Tatsuma's face was a bit embarrassed: "This violates the Will of the Root..."

"The Will of the Root..."

Akibara Kagura slowly shook his head, the young man's smile seemed somewhat innocent: "The Will of the Root doesn't matter to me, the Will of Lord Danzo is what's most important..."

"..."

This kid really knows what he's talking about!

Aburame Tatsuma had to admit that the kid really got the point!

"But..."

Aburame Tatsuma still felt something was off and explained: "Lord Danzo's Will is the Will of the Root, the Will of the Root..."

"The Will of the Root is just an extension of Lord Danzo's Will!"

Akibara Kagura interrupted Aburame Tatsuma's words and countered: "Lord Danzo's Will is the Will of the Root, but the Will of the Root may not necessarily be Lord Danzo's Will... According to you, we follow Lord Danzo's orders, does Lord Danzo have to follow the orders of us, the Root?"

"You are right..."

Aburame Tatsuma felt his brain wasn't working well enough and still wanted to prove his point: "But, we, the Root, and Lord Danzo are one..."

Akibara Kagura looked dissatisfied at Aburame Tatsuma and retorted: "We are not one with Lord Danzo, we are just subordinates of Lord Danzo, we can sacrifice for Lord Danzo... Does Lord Danzo have to sacrifice for us?"

"Of course not."

Aburame Tatsuma quickly shook his head.

Although Aburame Tatsuma still felt something was off, he couldn't refute Akibara Kagura's point, the kid made a lot of sense...

A feeling rose again in Aburame Tatsuma's heart... How is this kid more loyal to Lord Danzo than himself, who has followed Lord Danzo for many years as a guard?

"Alright, stop thinking."

Akibara Kagura waved his hand and glanced at the messy room, saying, "First take me to see Lord Danzo, and arrange a room for me tonight, put a bed in it in advance."

"Okay."

Aburame Tatsuma agreed.

This veteran member of the Root organization thought this little matter didn't violate any principles.
