Konoha's strongest bug

Making money in Ninja Village is somewhat different from other places.

As the largest professional group in the village, ninjas get paid by performing tasks.

The stronger the ability of the ninja, the higher the level of the completed tasks, the more rewards they get, and at the same time, they can generate income for the village.

They are the main incomers in Muye Village.

Other industries are more or less linked to ninjas, such as the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi families in the village.

The Yamanaka clan controls the village's intelligence and boundary management, the Nara clan is Konoha's largest medicinal herb dealer, and the Akimichi clan has developed Hōryō pills, which are ninja war preparation supplies.

The oil girl clan also has their own industry, which is chitin.

Chitin, also known as chitin, is mainly extracted from insects and is widely used in many fields such as medicine, cosmetics and food manufacturing. .seven

Relying on the Shangshuiliu Clan who defeated Yanyin Village in the First World War, the Yuuyue Clan established its unshakable position in Konoha.

By supplying chitin to other Konoha families, the family's stability and long-term development were ensured.

As a member of the Younv family, Younv Zhigao also enjoys the dividends brought by the family business and has an extra income than others.

After dinner, he carried a small bag and went to the chitin-refining workshop of the Aburame family.

Seeing him coming, a oily ninja wearing sunglasses standing at the door suddenly laughed.

"Hey, it's Xiao Zhigao. Are you sending bugs again so soon? Please pay more attention to your health!"

"Ok!"

Aburame Shiga nodded.

Unlike outside, he was taciturn when he was in the clan, because the Aburame clan was full of talkers. Even though these guys were usually taciturn, once they started talking, they would talk endlessly.

He doesn't have that much time for chatting, so he might as well go back to sleep if he has this spare time, recovering a little more chakra can also synthesize a few more bugs to improve his strength.

Seeing that he nodded and stopped talking, the gatekeeper ninja shook his head helplessly.

"I really can't help you, go in!"

"Thank you!"

After thanking in a low voice, Younv Zhigao walked into the workshop, came to the material warehouse, and handed the small bag in her hand to the reception window of the material warehouse.

"This is the parasite that was replaced this month."

The parasites feed on chakra. After maturation and aging, not only can they extract more chitin, but they are also of high quality. They are used to produce some precious materials or luxury goods, which are high-grade materials among raw materials.

Opposite the window sat a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses. He took the small bag from Aburame Shiga's hand, then opened it and grabbed a handful of parasites from inside.

"Well, they are all parasites that died after they matured and aged, and there are quite a few of them that are of good quality. I'll give them to you at the same price as last time!"

As he spoke, he put the small bag of bad bugs on the scale next to him and weighed it, then counted out a small wad of bills and handed them to Aburame Shigao.

"Three hundred and seventy-six grams. I'll give you three thousand eight hundred taels. Count them."

"Thank you!"

Aburame Shiga took the banknotes and stuffed them directly into her pocket, then bowed to the middle-aged man, turned around and left.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man sighed with some emotion.

"Hey, this child actually works very hard. The parasites he replaces every month are almost the same as many genin in the clan. It's a pity..."

"It's a pity that he is still a waste!"

A young man wearing sunglasses sitting next to him curled his lips in disdain.

"He has always used the support money given by the clan to buy Bingliang Pills, relying on Bingliang Pills to supplement Chakra to maintain the worm population, parasitic worms often get out of control, such a person is destined to have no future, and at most he will only be able to survive in this life. Be a bearer."

"..."

Hearing the young man's words, the middle-aged man frowned, but said nothing.

Naturally, Aburame Shigao didn't know all this. After getting the money, he first bought some daily necessities, and the rest was used to buy military food pills.

In order to improve his strength, he must increase the number of parasites in his body as much as possible, and then rely on the chakra they feed back to breed more common parasites.

This is also commonly known as "supporting war with war".

In order to do this, he must ensure that the number of newly added soldiers and grains infected with parasites is greater than those that die due to aging.

This is a difficult problem.

Despite the existence of military ration parasites, his total chakra has been increasing, and the efficiency of synthesizing military ration parasites has also changed from one per day at the beginning to the current steady ten per day about.

But this also means that he consumes ten times as many military ration pills every month as he did in the past!

Relying on the child support from the clan, the income from selling old and dead parasitic insects, and frugality, he was able to barely maintain the monthly expenses of buying military food pills.

But more is gone.

If he doesn't have money to buy more Bingliang Pills, he won't be able to synthesize more Bingliang Parasites, which will also cause his growth to stagnate.

Seeing that the second ninja world war is about to usher in, if the strength is too weak, even if the equipment is left in the village, it may not be able to guarantee absolute safety.

Once encountering an enemy ninja who sneaked in, if the strength is too weak, it is basically a dead end.

Aburame Shiga's assessment of his own strength is very objective. He is just a little stronger than ordinary genin. He can still fight tooth and nail when encountering people of the same level. Once he reaches a higher level, he can only cry for help.

If there is no one to save, you can only die.

He doesn't want to die.

Since you don't want to die, you can only work hard to improve your own strength, so that you can advance, attack, retreat, and defend, thereby greatly increasing your chances of survival.

Thinking of this, the oily girl Zhigao couldn't help but clenched her fist on the way home.

"No matter what, I must get more Bingliang Pills!"

Just as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Hmm... Zhigao, why do you want Bingliangwan?"

"Ok?"

Aburame Zhigao looked back and saw a little fat man holding a large bag of snacks and munching away.

Seeing him turn around, he even brought the snack bar in front of him.

"Would you like some food?"

Although he said that, his true thoughts could be seen from the look of reluctance on his face.

His name is Akido Yoshimaru, a classmate of Yume Shidaka and Namikaze Minato, and belongs to one of the bottom of the class.

Because I am fat, gluttonous, and not good at studying, I don't have many friends in class, and I get bullied occasionally.

Once when he was bullied by others, Aburame Shiga couldn't help but help him, and thus gained his friendship, becoming one of his few friends.

Since he had always focused on Namikaze Minato, Aburame Shiga subconsciously ignored him.

But in this moment, everything will be different!

Looking at the fat little Akimichi Yoshimaru in front of him, Aburame Shiga immediately hugged his neck and smiled brightly at him.

"Yoshimaru, my best friend, I'm so happy to meet you!"

"Uh... isn't your best friend Minato, Shigo?"

"No, you too!"

"..."
