Chapter 2: Special Evolution and Feedback

"Choose evolution eight, special evolution."

With Shishou's command, the system selected special evolution.

[Selection successful. Phosphorescent Destructive Insect evolved successfully, gaining special ability: Feedback]

[Can be placed in the breeding space for further cultivation. Once reaching a certain quantity, further evolution is possible]

[Note: Phosphorescent Destructive Insects are a special type of insect. Their evolution requirements differ from other insect types and need a simulation incubator]

After placing the evolved Phosphorescent Destructive Insects into the simulation incubator and storing them in the breeding space, Shishou felt pleased and headed home.

According to the system feedback, after evolution, the insects would enter a period of dormancy.

The dormancy time varied, sometimes long, sometimes short.

Long periods could last a month, while short periods might only be a few minutes.

The next day, just at dawn,

Shishou got up to start his daily physical training.

Chakra is formed by the fusion of physical energy and spiritual energy.

This means the better one's physical fitness, the greater their chakra volume.

In the absence of methods to enhance spiritual energy and without special bloodlines, eating well and exercising to strengthen the body were the only ways Shishou could increase his chakra volume.

"1, 2, 3... 98, 99, 100."

"1, 2, 3..."

After completing a hundred push-ups, Shishou started doing squats and sit-ups.

After morning training and a shower, Shishou activated the system to check the breeding space.

By now, the wasp-like insect had emerged from its cocoon, and the Phosphorescent Destructive Insects had awakened.

Injecting his chakra into the breeding space, Shishou clearly felt the wasp-like insect begin to grow.

The breeding space required Shishou to inject chakra to maintain it; otherwise, the insects inside would stop developing and eventually die if left too long.

Next,

Shishou took out another Phosphorescent Destructive Insect and placed it in his palm.

[Phosphorescent Destructive Insect: Epic nano-poison insect, can only reside within a host body, reproducing by consuming host cells. After the host's death, it can continue consuming the host to sustain itself but can only survive for five minutes in the air]

It seems that after upgrading and evolving, the Phosphorescent Destructive Insects not only gained special abilities but also improved their survival capabilities.

Shishou carefully observed the Phosphorescent Destructive Insect in his hand, feeling amazed.

Because he was bonded with the Phosphorescent Destructive Insects, Shishou could control them at will and was resistant to their effects, avoiding any harm.

Moreover, without Shishou's command, the Phosphorescent Destructive Insects would not actively consume anything.

In this regard, Shishou's Phosphorescent Destructive Insects were better than Root's.

He did not want to become an "untouchable" like Root.

Otherwise, it would be a great loss to the female population in the ninja world.

With Shishou's chakra feeding them, the Phosphorescent Destructive Insects began to reproduce rapidly.

The Aburame clan's chakra could quickly promote the growth and reproduction of their insects, which was key to their insect manipulation.

As a clan member and transmigrator, Shishou had learned chakra extraction techniques and jutsus like tree climbing, water walking, Body Flicker, Transformation, and Clone Jutsu from a young age.

Soon, the Phosphorescent Destructive Insects in Shishou's palm reproduced enough to cover a small section of his finger.

The Phosphorescent Destructive Insects, being nano-poison insects, numbered in the tens of millions on that small section of his finger.

As his chakra depleted, Shishou felt some fatigue.

This was a sign of physical energy deficiency.

At this time, the Phosphorescent Destructive Insects barely covered two sections of his finger.

This isn't enough!

His goal was to consume the Otsutsuki members who came to Earth, gain Kekkei Genkai through feedback, and become an immortal.

The Phosphorescent Destructive Insects he bred with his chakra alone weren't enough!

Shishou shook his head slightly, placing the Phosphorescent Destructive Insects back into the breeding space, deciding to find a wild beast after school to help breed more Phosphorescent Destructive Insects.

For now, the priority was going to school...

...

After school in the afternoon.

In the Konoha forest.

"Roar!"

A giant brown bear roared at Shishou.

The bear was furious at this intruder in its territory, swinging its massive paw down at Shishou.

If struck, Shishou would be severely injured, if not killed.

Shishou formed a hand seal, activated Body Flicker, and quickly appeared behind the bear, tapping its back.

The next second, purple-brown Phosphorescent Destructive Insects spread over the bear's back, then its entire body.

Intense pain filled the bear's mind, causing it to struggle wildly.

Boom!

Soon, the bear collapsed with a thud.

Its body was rapidly consumed by the Phosphorescent Destructive Insects, leaving only skin and bones after a few minutes.

"Truly a must-have for home travel and assassinations!"

Looking at the bear remains, Shishou smirked, recalling the Phosphorescent Destructive Insects.

After consuming an entire bear, the Phosphorescent Destructive Insects could now cover Shishou's entire palm.

"Feedback."

With Shishou's command, a dense and pure energy flowed from his right hand, covered by the Phosphorescent Destructive Insects, through his entire body.

It not only instantly restored his chakra but also continuously strengthened his body, filling him with energy.

"Phew~~~"

Exhaling, Shishou started searching for the next kind-hearted animal in the forest.

An animal that could help him breed his hungry Phosphorescent Destructive Insects.

Three hours later.

Many animals in the Konoha forest had gladly offered all their nutrients to Shishou's Phosphorescent Destructive Insects.

With the help of these kind-hearted animals, Shishou successfully bred enough Phosphorescent Destructive Insects to cover half of his body.

"That's enough for today."

"I will continue tomorrow."

Seeing the sky had darkened, Shishou placed the Phosphorescent Destructive Insects back into the breeding space and happily prepared to return home.
