Naruto World: Acquiring the Dung Fruit and Joining the Second War - Chapter 66
Chapter 66: Send 100 Million Flies
“In just two days, a wall was built at the foot of the mountain, and at the same time, livestock and wild boars were released into the area behind the hills.”
Chiba stood calmly while Danzo trembled with excitement.
“All of this… is it for me?” Danzo asked, stunned, as he looked at the room filled with gold bars.
Chiba waved his hand impatiently. “Take it away quickly.”
With half a room full of gold bars, Chiba had acquired them effortlessly.
“Chiba!” A familiar voice called out as he left the house.
It was Aburame Shizuka, holding a box lunch.
“Did you go outside the village?” Chiba asked casually upon seeing her.
“I went bug catching, but I came back empty-handed,” Shizuka replied, turning around as if searching for something. “Why haven’t my bugs appeared?”
Chiba suspected the bugs had ended up in the septic tank.
“Are you raising pigs?” Shizuka asked, looking at the farm curiously.
“Yes, would you like to help me manage it?” Chiba asked, realizing that Shizuka’s assistance would be beneficial.
Danzo’s voice interrupted their conversation. “Aburame Shizumi?”
Danzo walked out of the house, observing Shizuka and Chiba. His expression suddenly changed.
“Since it’s your young people’s business, I’ll leave first…” Danzo hurriedly walked away and disappeared.
Chiba continued cooking, and Shizuka waited patiently nearby.
“I promised to help you manage it, but you have to protect me,” Shizuka spoke up.
“Of course,” Chiba agreed, looking into her eyes. He believed there wouldn’t be much danger, at most a battle of wits and courage with wild boars.
“By the way,” Chiba suddenly remembered something, “Can you control insects?”
“Yes, but only if there are bugs present,” Shizuka replied with a hint of disappointment.
“What about flies?” Chiba inquired.
Shizuka rolled her eyes. “Flies just buzz around, what’s the use of controlling them?”
Chiba had a plan in mind. “But what if you could control a large number of flies?”
“Do we have enough quantity?” Shizuka questioned, skeptical.
Chiba thought for a moment. “What if there were 100,000 flies?”
Shizuka pondered for a while and shook her head. “Controlling them would still be useless unless there are 100 million flies.”
“One hundred million?” Chiba’s mind raced with the idea of the vast number of flies in the garbage dump.
Shizuka finally understood his intention. “If there were 100 million flies in front of me, I could control them for about a minute.”
Chiba smiled mysteriously. “I have a gift for you. Follow me.”
Shizuka felt a bit uneasy as they closed the farm gate and headed back to the village.
“Chiba, where are you taking me? Don’t buy anything too expensive,” Shizuka whispered behind him.
“Don’t worry, it won’t cost any money,” Chiba assured her.
And so, they arrived at the garbage dump.
“Hey, this is the gift!” Chiba pointed at the dump, grinning.
Shizuka fell into silence, her eyes widening with disbelief. She had thought it was a romantic gesture, but instead, it was a pile of garbage.
Feeling insulted, Shizuka’s face turned red, and anger welled up inside her delicate body.
“Don’t be angry! It’s not trash!” Chiba quickly tried to explain, noticing her reaction.
“But it clearly looks like garbage,” Shizuka retorted, her eyes welling up with tears.
“In those piles, there are hundreds of millions of fly eggs!” Chiba exclaimed.
Shizuka, intrigued, picked up a piece of garbage with a wooden stick and discovered the eggs.
“Hmm… They will likely hatch into cocoons soon,” Shizuka observed, her expertise in insects allowing her to make a quick judgment.
Chiba was puzzled. “Then, how long do you think it will take for these flies to emerge?”
“One week,” Shizuka replied confidently. “However, during this week, the garbage dump will need to be watered more.”
“Watered more? Like watering flowers?” Chiba questioned.
