Naruto World: Acquiring the Dung Fruit and Joining the Second War - Chapter 76
Chapter 76: Shizukai’s Faith
A good day starts with a tour of the farm.
Today marks the fifth consecutive day of Aburame Shizuka’s farm tour.
As the designated farm manager appointed by Chiba, she takes a walk around the farm every morning.
“Why haven’t I seen Fat Chiba today?”
Walking to the base of the mountain, Shizuka opened a dirt burrow, a bit perplexed.
Previously, every time she approached the burrow, the little pig named ‘Fat Chiba’ would come out and oink at her. But today, the chubby pig was nowhere to be seen.
“There he is!”
Looking around, Shizuka spotted the little pig.
However, as she approached, she discovered that the little pig was already lifeless, foaming at the mouth.
“Could it be… poisoned?”
“But there are no poisonous plants in the back mountain.”
With doubts in her mind, Shizukai’s eyes froze.
“This is…”
She noticed two adult wild boars lying motionless on the grassy ground not far away.
It was evident that the entire pig family had been poisoned.
Suddenly realizing something, Shizuka quickened her pace and ran towards the mountainside.
“Why are they all dead?”
Along the way, she discovered that all the livestock had perished. Shizuka grew anxious.
“Chiba isn’t here. He entrusted the farm to me, but now…”
“That’s right! The water source!”
Suddenly, Shizuka remembered. There was a water source on the farm, and it was the only one available. Every morning, the livestock in the back mountain would run to that water source to drink.
Without hesitation, Shizuka sprinted towards the water source. There, she witnessed numerous livestock carcasses and a stranger poisoning the area. Shizuka couldn’t bear it any longer.
The stranger grew impatient as well.
“You! Stop right there!”
“You’re asking for death!”
Shizuka shouted for the person to stop, but they attacked directly.
Swish!
A kunai with a bright detonating symbol attached to it was launched.
Shizuka tried to evade.
However, due to the loss of her insect companions, her strength was greatly reduced, and she could only manage to avoid it within a short distance.
Boom!
An explosion resounded, scattering debris all around.
“With your strength, you dare to challenge me?” A sneer echoed.
But suddenly, the expression of the stranger froze.
‘I see.’
Shizuka, covered in blood, not only remained standing but stared firmly at them.
Swoosh!
Two more kunai were thrown, piercing Shizuka’s leg. Blood spurted, accompanied by muffled groans. Yet, Shizuka remained fixated on the stranger.
In the past, whenever faced with danger during a mission, Shizuka would always suggest running away. But now, she didn’t run.
This farm was entrusted to her by Chiba. It held great importance in her heart.
“If you seek death, I will grant it to you!”
Shizuka heard the stranger’s words. Unfazed, she closed her eyes.
“I promised Chiba that I would protect the farm. I can do it!”
“Secret Technique—Swarm of Flies!”
Buzz!
At that moment, the garbage dump in Konoha Village exploded. Countless flies emerged from the mound of rubbish, pouring out like a black sea. Hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions.
Flies surged forward like a dense black cloud, quickly heading towards the back mountain. Konoha Village was in chaos.
“What are those flies?”
“What am I witnessing?”
“Mom, run! The swarm of flies is coming!”
“This is too much!”
Danzo, who was having breakfast at his residence, witnessed the scene, and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. He threw his bowl aside and immediately activated a jutsu, rushing toward the back hill.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was on his way to the office when he saw a swarm of black flies flying towards the back mountain.
Thud!
With a powerful push off the ground, he shot forward, racing towards the back mountain.
Aburame Clan…
Hyuga Clan…
Back Mountain Farm.
…
Takakawa took out three kunai and affixed detonating symbols to them. He believed that this time, Aburame Shizuka would be obliterated.
“…Have you given up struggling?”
Observing Aburame Shizuka with closed eyes, Takakawa sneered. Suddenly, a peculiar sound reached their ears.
Was it… a fly? In the next moment, the buzzing sound intensified, shaking Takakawa’s mind. He turned to look.
“Oh, no!”
Takakawa’s face drastically changed, and he was almost frightened to death.
Countless flies swarmed towards him like an endless tide. He attempted to flee. However, the army of black flies had already encircled him, rushing towards his face frenziedly.
Ears, nostrils, mouth—every opening!
The swarm of flies bombarded his body, attempting to enter.
“Get away! Leave me alone!”
Takakawa swung his arms frantically. But it was futile. His ears felt deafened. A fly had entered his ear and damaged his eardrum. He tightly sealed his mouth, but it was already filled with flies. Every time he opened it, a large number of flies rushed in.
He wanted to sneeze, but his nose was already congested with flies. And not only that, the relentless flies continued to drill into his nostrils, blocking his windpipe.
“Ah!!!”
A piercing scream echoed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Takakawa detonated the explosive tags. He had been killed by his own actions.
“I failed to protect the farm… I did my best…”
At that moment, Aburame Shizuka weakly muttered, feeling her vision blur.
Plop!
She lost consciousness and collapsed onto the ground.
