Chapter 531 The Seven Defectors
When Shisei Aburame returned to the Snow Country experimental base, all the experimental personnel and important guards stood there obediently with their heads down.
They all thought their master would be angry and fly into a rage, but Aburame Shisei simply waved his hand at them and said, "It's alright, go do what you need to do."
"My lord, I'm sorry, we..." King Feng Hua wiped the sweat from his brow apologetically. Perhaps he was no longer a king, but a provincial governor.
Aburame Shisei also said to him, "There's no need to apologize. People have thoughts, and I never thought anyone would follow me wholeheartedly."
Looking at the factory building in the distance, still emitting smoke, the flames on it have been extinguished. The economic losses caused by the explosion inside are estimated to be in the hundreds of millions.
This hundreds of millions is not the original price, but the changed currency they produced themselves.
It was eventually confirmed that there were about seven defectors, one of whom was a scientist named Hu who had joined the group a long time ago.
Aburame Shisei knew exactly who he was—Hiruko. A former Konoha rogue ninja who later wandered the ninja world, he joined the Akatsuki organization after meeting Black Zetsu, eventually changing his name and infiltrating their base.
The reason why Aburame Shisei kept him around was mainly because he was still useful. His improved Oni-Ra-Gar technique could combine the fusion of six genes and help him quickly recreate the Otsutsuki clan.
His sudden defection suggests two possibilities: firstly, Black Zetsu's side is finished, and secondly, the involvement of the Shell organization.
Aburame Shisei arrived at the laboratory he had used before and turned on the searchlight. Inside was actually a bug that could record everything.
At that moment, the video started playing on the insect. Sure enough, a masked researcher walked up to him and talked to him face to face, but there was no sound in the video, presumably because they used some kind of soundproofing.
Soon after, Hu began packing his bags, taking almost all of his research materials with him.
He overlooked one point: the lights here, or more precisely, all luminous objects, have video recording capabilities.
Meanwhile, the experimental table has also been modified so that it can retain a portion of the tissue.
"It seems he has modified his Ghost Fang Technique into a gene editing and splicing technique." Aburame Shicheng looked at the hundreds of pages of cost data on the screen, a smile appearing on his face.
Besides this, there was another group that was intercepted and cultivated, which should be the original and purest Otsutsuki clan.
So his gene-fusion worm can finally retire. Or rather, well, it's been upgraded.
"Hey, why are you running away? It's not like I won't treat you well here. I'm a very generous person, and you haven't done anything to harm me."
Actually, he was just a spy. He didn't betray him halfway through. If someone who betrays him is truly repentant, he will give them another chance. What's more, someone who suddenly repents and joins me halfway through?
Of course, Hiruko might also have been influenced by the prevailing ninja mentality, believing that Aburame Shisei wouldn't let him off so easily.
Actually, there's another crucial point: he probably doesn't believe deep down that he and Shisei Aburame are the same kind of people.
Although Shisei Aburame studied ninjutsu, he was not a ninja in essence and had no ninja mindset. Those who worked under him for a long time were the same.
However, Hiruko considered himself a ninja, a pure ninja. Although he was good at scientific research, a ninja was still a ninja.
Little did he know that from this day forward, ninjas would be obsolete, and the era of the Mushishi would begin.
As for the other two defectors, they were quite unexpected for Aburame Shisei: one was named Amdo, and the other was his assistant, Teres.
These two can be considered the most outstanding talents in the base. One researches human cloning and regeneration technology, while the other is the innovator of core artificial humans.
But now that I think about it, these two were probably members of the Shell organization from the beginning, so they came to him just to use their resources to their advantage.
"But the data was left behind!" Aburame Shisei found all the insects installed in the various laboratories, pieced them together, and roughly reconstructed about 90% of the original data.
He looked it over and realized that the most crucial information inside was probably not something they had created; it was somewhat like a contract.
The outer shell looks like science, but in essence it is the work of divine magic.
In the laboratory building, Shisei Aburame sat in the main seat, deep in thought. Actually, he hadn't watched much of the second part of Boruto because it wasn't very good, and he was also busy with work at the time, so he didn't know much about the later plot.
Moreover, with his records now, the plot has been completely altered. However, he still clearly remembers some important things, namely that there should be the remains of the Otsutsuki God in the ninja world.
So, could it be that the members of the Shell organization found the remains and stole the divine information from them for scientific research?
Aburame Shisei shook his head. In any case, whether it is now or not, the matter is already settled, and there is no point in thinking about it any further.
Soon after, the Crimson Scorpion arrived inside the office building.
He was summoned by Shisei Aburame, and he was also the only person in this base who had some insights into artificial humans.
"Take these materials back and take a good look at them. They might be helpful in improving your puppetry skills."
Crimson Scorpion took the documents, nodded slightly, and then pushed up his glasses, saying, "There's a traitor within the organization, and you don't seem nervous at all."
"Because there's no need to be nervous."
"How do you plan to rule the ninja world from now on? You should know that a country without external enemies is prone to internal problems."
Aburame Shisei said, "It's impossible not to have external enemies. Even if there are no people on the ground, we still have to guard against people from outer space."
"Are you going to announce news about the Otsutsuki?" Red Sasori asked, somewhat surprised.
"It's something that will be revealed sooner or later, so rather than keeping them in the dark, it's better to let them know the truth sooner."
Actually, the previous comics were designed to be in advance, but everyone just treated them as stories. Now that we're telling them that the things in the comics are real, I guess a lot of people won't be able to accept it.
"The other four who defected were the four most renowned weapon makers in the Kingdom of Craftsmen. Their reason for defecting was absurd: they claimed they wanted to resurrect the ancestor of the Kingdom of Craftsmen from a thousand years ago."
Upon hearing this, Aburame Shigeaki paused immediately. "Don't they know I have a way to resurrect?"
"Perhaps they have too much confidence in their ancestors, thinking that if their ancestors were resurrected, they could lead them to rule the ninja world."
Crimson Scorpion finished recounting the matter as if it were a joke, then nodded, took the stack of documents, and turned to leave.
