Naruto Puppet Master

"Actually! All this is because I am practicing a sworn family secret technique."

"Although the secret insect control skills that we, the Aburame clan, once practiced are very strong, they have very high command requirements for the insect masters who direct them. Under the same circumstances, the one with higher command ability is usually stronger. "

"However, this kind of command ability, like wisdom, is a personal talent. If you don't have a little talent, it will be difficult to cultivate it."

"Although the powerful command ability and wisdom will become stronger with the increase of experience and experience, if there is no talent, there will always be a limit, and how can there be so many opportunities to practice in the dangerous career of a ninja! A small If you make a mistake, you may be dead." Hearing this, the Third Hokage thought in his mind.

Seeing the Third Hokage's thoughtful look, Aburame Shizun, who secretly praised himself, suppressed the pride in his heart and continued: "And all this happened until a genius ancestor appeared in the Aburame clan. , he bypassed the idea of ​​directly making people smarter and instead thought about how to make people calm."

"After all, wisdom and talent aside, if a person can remain very calm, then even his mediocre wisdom and talent will be greatly amplified."

"With this thought, that ancestor created a secret technique of oath that can seal most of the suppressed emotions."

"Through this secret technique, most of the emotions of us Aburame clan members can be sealed in our hearts, so that we can be in a calm state without being disturbed by most emotions during battle."

"On this basis, I further strengthened the ability to seal the oath. On the condition that most of my emotions are sealed for a long time, my mental power can be slowly tempered and accumulated. The condition is that I lose the insect nest. Don’t make a move, otherwise the oath seal will be broken on the spot.”

"The insect nest is a sealing medium, and not taking action is an oath to one's inner beliefs." The third Hokage said in surprise.

You must know that even in the temple, only various meditation methods can truly cultivate spiritual power and hone the cultivator's faith. The Third Hokage really did not expect that the so-called family secret technique mentioned by Aburame Shizon actually involves spiritual faith. The secret technique of spiritual practice.

Regarding this, the Third Hokage could only sigh in his heart and said: "Sure enough, everyone in the past was too secretive. Many valuable secret techniques and research were only spread in a small area or even lost."

"Then what state are you in now, and what impact will the breaking of the oath have on you?" The deeply moved Third Hokage immediately asked with concern.

After confirming that Aburame Shisun had no dangerous changes, the third Hokage had already decided on the candidate for Demon Hunter. Naturally, he did not want Aburame Shisun's strength to have any impact at this time.

"Nothing? I have changed the secret technique of the oath. In the past, it was just a seal to suppress one's emotions and accumulate spiritual power. Now I have changed the content of the oath. For me, the purpose of practicing the secret technique of the oath is more to refine It’s just the heart.”

"So whether it is the training of sealing to suppress one's emotions or the wanton indulgence after the oath is broken, it is a process of refining the heart. Therefore, apart from some differences in personality expression, it actually does not have much impact on my own strength."

"On the contrary, once these two years of repressive training are overturned, the accumulated mental accumulation will quickly turn into my strength." Aburame Shizun said confidently and proudly.

"It's okay. I've heard other people say that your performance is very good. I also know the performance of most of the candidates now. Your biggest competitor, Kurama Yakumo, was seriously injured and comatose because of the enemy that sneaked in. Even if It is impossible for the vitality crystal to be fully restored in a short period of time, so if nothing unexpected happens, the identity of the Demon Hunter will be given to you, and I hope you can really get it." The Third Hokage assuredly asked.

"Is it a way of training one's heart between gain and loss, one closing and one releasing? I would like to think of the training method of a warrior to hone the fighting spirit!" The Third Hokage thought thoughtfully in his heart.

"Why, you think so highly of me, is there any trouble?" Aburame Shizun asked curiously.

Although Aburame Shison was the one who originally mobilized his efforts to promote the demon hunter, his secret only played a role in it. Therefore, although Aburame Shison knew about this matter, he had already I only know the general outline, but I don’t know much about some of the detailed changes.

It's just that he is extremely confident in his own strength and has determined that he can definitely get the title of Demon Hunter on his own. Therefore, for him, as long as this matter is promoted, no matter what happens next, He can solve it openly and openly.

The Third Hokage said with a slightly solemn expression: "The selection of demon hunters for their strength is open to the entire continent. Although because of the strong strength of the three major ninja village bases on the continent, the Red Sand Empire will arrange the candidates in our three base villages."

"But neither the Lei Yin Ninja Village Base nor the Earth Yin Ninja Village Base is a fuel-efficient lamp. For the convenience of selection, each of our three villages has a candidate quota for demon hunters. This quota can be arranged internally, but the final test is Only the candidate from that village who passes the test of the other two villages and performs better than the other two can be truly selected as a demon hunter by the Red Sand Empire."

"What is the assessment? Are there any rules?" Aburame Shizun said with a twitching corner of his mouth.

"According to the requirements of the empire, your survivability and actual combat effectiveness will still be used as the assessment purpose." The third Hokage said solemnly: "Ninety percent will be an assessment of strength."

"Strength? I just don't know what level of opponent is coming?" Aburame Shizun thought in his mind, and immediately asked: "The person being tested won't be too strong! There must be someone to test geniuses like us. Let’s set the upper limit! Otherwise, if everyone can’t pass, wouldn’t it be a slap in the empire’s face?”

"That's for sure. The strength is all limited to the extraordinary realm, that is, below the former shadow-level powerhouse. Anyone who exceeds it can't be used as assessors."

"If they all lose, it will definitely take a long battle to determine the final candidate." The Third Hokage said.

"Have you not completed the first chakra transformation? Then there is no problem." Aburame Shizun thought in his heart.

"Then when will they arrive?" Aburame Shizun continued to ask.

"The examiners they arranged will come over in half a month. At that time, the three parties will test each other and determine the final candidate for the Demon Hunter based on their actual combat capabilities." The Third Hokage looked at Aburame Shison with expectation and said.

"I've asked someone to chase you

The enemy has taken away your insect nest. When you recover your native insect nest, just tell me what resources you need. The village will strongly support you in cultivating insects and increasing your strength. "The Third Hokage said.

"Oh, there are also martial arts secrets. I heard they said that your internal martial arts have reached the level of dark strength. If you like any martial arts that you can practice, the village will buy them from the temple for you." The Third Hokage He looked at Inuzuka Hana and the other three around him and said.

"Ah! Why isn't it me!" At this moment, hearing what the Third Hokage said to Aburame Shison, Hana Inuzuka and the others were filled with more or less envy in their hearts.

Especially the heat in Inuzuka Hanagi's eyes almost turned into raging jealousy, burning Aburame Shison to death.

"He's just an insidious guy. I don't know how he achieved the instant lion's roar skill." Inuzuka Hana, who was dressed in age-old clothes, wished at this moment that Hyuga Neji could rise up and completely defeat this guy in front of her. arrive.

"Even if the match is evenly matched, at least I still have a chance! As it is now, I have been pre-determined." Inuzuka Hana thought in her heart.

"No, this ability is too insidious and powerful, and it is also very practical and versatile. It is the best large-scale martial arts for martial arts in close combat. Whether it is to deal with the siege of a large number of enemies, to attract the attention of monsters in the wild, to clear out the numbers The numerous and inherently fragile demonic insects and small demonic beasts that form the demonic tide are the best means of martial arts, and I, Hana Inuzuka, cannot lag behind."

"I'll go back and practice the Wolf Roaring Technique later. I must practice it to the point where it can be used instantly without the need to inhale to accumulate power. Then let's see who dares to defeat me in front of this lady." Inuzuka Hana thought with determination.

On the other side, ignoring the blazing eyes of Inuzuka Hana and the others, Aburame Shison immediately said with great joy after hearing the words of the Third Hokage: "Ah! Thank you so much, Hokage-sama."

Even if no one helps the native insect nest, after the golden beetle swarm inside is fully evolved, the mother insect will naturally lead the insect swarm back to Aburame Shisun with the empty nest, but it would be better if the Third Hokage is willing to help. After all, although the empty nest cannot be destroyed, it will be a little trouble if there are seal preparations.

"And he is actually willing to contribute resources to my cultivation. It's really a great thing for free!" Thinking of the countless cultivation resources and the swarms of golden beetles, Aburame Shizun thought with longing in his heart.

"As long as you understand." The Third Hokage nodded.

"Whoosh whoosh???"

At the same time, figures rushed over from a distance in the forest. Under the teleportation technique, a one-armed old man with a black-clothed ANBU appeared beside the Third Hokage on the road.

In addition to a dozen ANBU members in disguise, a thin prisoner was also brought over.

Shizune Aburame could tell at a glance that this prisoner was the enemy who had taken away his empty nest before. He seemed to be a guy named Kuichi.

"How's it going?" Seeing his old buddy Shimura Danzo coming over with a prisoner, the Third Hokage immediately knew how efficient the old buddy was.

"I'm going to take action. What's wrong with such a small character? I've lifted the seal in his mind halfway. But unfortunately, he is not the person we are looking for. There are still people lurking that have not been found." Zhicun Tuan Zang said with a darkened face.

"These three guys are from another team and have no contact with the previous group."

Hearing this, the Third Hokage, who thought he had temporarily solved all the troubles, immediately asked: "Have all the children been found?"

"Counting the dozen candidates you have here, there are still five candidates who have not been found." Danzo Shicun said.

"Are there no traces?" The Third Hokage knew Shicun Danzo's consciousness, but still asked with a hint of luck.

"There are no traces, or there are no natural traces. Either they ran further or all traces have been erased." Danzo Shicun said in a deep voice.

At this time, the four Aburame Shisons who were listening to the conversation between the Third Hokage and the two were also clearly aware of what was happening.

"An unknown enemy has sneaked in and attacked the candidates." Aburame Shison thought in his mind: "No wonder the Third Hokage came in person. It seems that the examination has been completely stopped."

"And is the enemy's target Kurama Yakumo?"

Just when Aburame Shizun was thinking happily, he didn't notice that Shicun Danzo, who was next to the Third Hokage, looked at him strangely and then said to his opponent, the Third Hokage: "Is there any problem on your side?"

This ordinary greeting had no problem in other people's ears, but when it was combined with Danzo's eyes in the ears of the Third Hokage, the Third Hokage knew what he meant.

Apparently Danzo Shikumo was asking whether the question of Shison Aburame had been investigated clearly.

After all, Aburame Shizono's temperament has changed to such an extent that anyone who has read his files can see something abnormal about him, so no one can help but doubt him.

After all, in today's dangerous world, there are always many tentacles of evil spirits and human beings who have been seduced and fallen by evil spirits.

And when Shizun Aburame suddenly had a drastic change in his personality after spending one night in the dangerous forest, all kinds of invasion methods of evil demons such as body snatching, substitutes, consciousness control, belief infection, etc. were all used. It's possible that it could happen to him.

Therefore, after they first discovered the change in Aburame Shizono's personality, although the Third Hokage and Shicun Danzo did not say it out loud, they thought of this problem in their minds. However, in the end, the relatively stronger Third Hokage came to determine the problem.

Therefore, as soon as the most important thing was said at this moment, Shicun Danzo naturally asked.After all, he also understood that although the Third Hokage was very decisive, but that was when facing the enemy. Sometimes he would also have moments of indecision, especially when facing his companions or acquaintances.

"Ah! It's okay, just give me the direction! The children are all here. Except for Neji who suffered a slight injury and passed out, everyone else is fine." The third Hokage said with a twinkle in his eye.

"Sure enough, Sarutobi hasn't tested this guy before?" Shimura Danzo thought unhappily.

Immediately, Shimura Danzo turned around and motioned for a root ninja to come forward and said, "Give him Aburame Shizon's insect nest."

"Yes, Lord Danzo." The next moment, the root member immediately took out a small scroll and opened it. With a "bang", a honeycomb-shaped golden object appeared in his hand.
