Annihilation and Tien's Improvement

"Can this even be called a clone technique?"

Tien punched the Aburame Clan ninja to the ground and spoke disdainfully.

His third eye possessed the ability to detect the aura of the Demon Clan. He could clearly distinguish between energy and physical entities.

Even if that energy was made up of countless parasitic insects, it did not possess a human aura.

In a sense, his third eye was also a kind of ocular technique.

"Insect Clone Technique!"

The Aburame Clan ninja still refused to believe it. Forming hand seals, he produced another clone with an even more solid aura.

"Can you still see through it now?"

The Aburame Clan ninja shouted confidently. More importantly, he was stalling for time!

No matter what, he had to send the intelligence out. His other two clones needed enough time to relay it.

"Hm? Is that so?"

Tien's third eye turned.

This clone was even more realistic. It had flesh, blood vessels, and chakra within its body. Most importantly, it even possessed a portion of the Aburame Clan ninja's aura.

The Aburame Clan ninja was secretly pleased.

But pain suddenly shot through his body. The agony of being torn apart made his nerves twitch.

"Now that's more like it. But do you really think you're the only smart one? Dodon Ray!"

Tien did not want to waste any more words on him. He fired a Dodon Ray from his hand, intending to take the Aburame Clan ninja's life directly.

"How is that possible?! The Kikaichū carrying my flesh and blood, along with part of the insect nest within my body, are already inside the clone. How could you distinguish me so easily?!"

The Aburame Clan ninja's abdomen was pierced by the Dodon Ray, revealing the body within, which had already been gnawed clean by insects.

"Still trying to stall for time? Let me show you a real clone technique!"

Tien shook his head. This trick could fool most people, but not him.

This kind of ninjutsu had its merits, but compared to his, it was still far inferior.

"Ahhh~~~" Tien let out a roar as his aura surged wildly. Sweat ran down his forehead. "Four Bodies Technique!"

Tien's body began to stretch from behind.

One~

Two~

Three~

Three Tiens split off and flew away using the Flying Technique!

"This is a real clone technique!"

Tien panted slightly as he looked at the increasingly weakened Aburame Clan ninja.

This technique directly split his body and consciousness, creating clones that were completely identical to the original.

But it also caused great harm to himself, so he rarely used it.

"Ahhh~~"

The Aburame Clan ninja let out several miserable screams and collapsed to the ground.

Tien's two clones flew back down from the sky.

"Was this really worth using the Four Bodies Technique for? There was no challenge at all!"

"His three clones have already been eliminated!"

After saying that, the two clones merged back into Tien's body.

One Four Bodies Technique clone still remained outside.

"Is this the aftereffect of your clone technique? Do you feel what they feel?"

Tien watched the Aburame Clan ninja with curiosity.

The reason he had grown so quickly in that world was because he was eager to learn.

The ninjas of this world really did possess some impressive ninjutsu!

"Secret Technique: Insect Gathering~"

The Aburame Clan ninja still refused to give up. The aftereffects of his clone technique were still ravaging his entire body. With the intense pain and his body falling apart, even if he survived, he would not meet a good end upon returning to Root.

One hand slapped the ground, and black patterns spread outward as his chakra poured forth.

Rustling sounds arose.

All kinds of insects gathered together, shielding the Aburame Clan ninja.

"Then let's fight properly!"

The Aburame Clan ninja roared. Chakra exploded beneath his feet, launching him into the air. Giant flying insects appeared beneath his feet one after another, serving as footholds.

He had actually chosen to fight Tien in close combat.

"You're not worthy of those words. Dodon Ray!"

Tien gathered a Dodon Ray at his index finger.

He aimed at the Aburame Clan ninja.

Whoosh~

The Dodon Ray pierced through the Aburame Clan ninja's chest.

Tap tap tap~

The Aburame Clan ninja acted as though nothing had happened and had already reached Tien.

"Secret Technique: Giant Parasitic Insect: Breakthrough!"

A beetle with enormous pincers tore open Tien's body, and a black giant parasitic insect entered Tien's body.

The giant parasitic insect rapidly multiplied within Tien's body, absorbing this clone's chakra.

Bang!

"I was careless! He was making a desperate final attack. The orders he gave were carried out by the insects inside his body, so that kind of damage was nowhere near enough to stop him!"

A Ki Blast Cannon erupted from Tien's palm, blasting the Aburame Clan ninja to the ground.

The black cloth wrapped around the Aburame Clan ninja's body had completely shattered, exposing the organs within.

They had already been replaced by insects. No wonder the Dodon Ray had not worked earlier.

"Haha~ Let's die together! Your body contains the giant parasitic insect I carefully cultivated. Just wait for your body to explode!"

The Aburame Clan ninja issued a final threat before death.

His desire to fight had completely vanished. From the start, he had only wanted to drag someone down with him before he died.

Like a venomous snake whose body had been severed, he still wanted to take someone with him.

Tien sensed the disturbance within his body.

"No wonder Yajirobe wanted his own body back. Fighting with a body like this really won't do!"

Tien revealed a strange smile and descended beside the Aburame Clan ninja.

Bang~

The chakra Uchiha Feng had used to create the clone was drained dry by the giant parasitic insect.

The clone dispersed!

"How is this possible? The one fighting me all along was actually a clone? But it was clearly the original body?"

The Aburame Clan ninja was utterly shocked. The ninja who had fought him was a clone, yet he had witnessed Tien perform the Four Bodies Technique from beginning to end.

Only then did he recall that two clones had returned to this body, but one clone remained. Where was it?

How could a clone possess so many abilities?

His heart was filled with doubt!

But his life was also nearing its end.

"Dodon Ray~"

Bang~

A beam of light pierced through the Aburame Clan ninja's skull, killing him completely.

"My Four Bodies Technique creates four bodies, and every one of them is the original body. Unfortunately, my current original body is someone else's clone."

Tien floated back into the air, with another figure beside him.

"Uchiha~~"

In his final moments, he saw only the Uchiha Clan's fan crest. This was the target they had been searching for, but he no longer had any chance to send the intelligence back.

Uchiha Feng floated in the air using the Flying Technique.

His hair drifted freely, and his demeanor was carefree.

He wore a black robe over a high-collared fitted shirt.

The fan clan crests on his chest and back symbolized blazing flames.

"End this quickly!"

Uchiha Feng gave the order. This time, the shortcomings of his clone had been exposed, making him feel a faint sense of crisis.

If Tien had not possessed such a bug-like ability as the Four Bodies Technique, along with such high combat intelligence, the Aburame Clan's giant parasitic insect would have destroyed it.

These card characters were currently relying on his Shadow Clone to fight, meaning he himself was their weakness.

[＋634~]

Arriving above the Aburame Clan ninja, Uchiha Feng harvested a relatively large amount of soul points.

Based on his previous experience, this ninja had been among the strongest elite jonin.

But the weakness Tien had exposed this time was unacceptable to him.

He had already struggled this much against merely an elite jonin of the Aburame Clan, yet Uchiha Feng had been counting on him to exchange a few moves with Uchiha Itachi.

On the other battlefield, Dumpling and Yajirobe sensed the dissatisfaction in those words.

They both began to fight with all their strength!

In Dumpling's battle against the Inuzuka Clan ninja, it seemed like a battle between idiots, completely head-on and brutal.

"Ninja Beast Technique: Kuro-maru Charge!" The Inuzuka Clan's ninja hound transformed into the appearance of a Root ninja.

Sharp claws grew from the hands of the two identical Root ninjas, and their teeth also became sharp. Their ninja hound transformations began, strengthening their physical attacks.

They spun at high speed, forming a whirlwind as they charged at Dumpling.
