Chapter 65: Insect Fusion Technique

Crack~ Crack~ Hearing the subtle cracking sound, Seimei didn't hesitate at all. He immediately took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, tied an explosive tag to it, and threw it over. However, before the kunai could get close, the unknown thing seemed to sense the danger and "bang", it broke through the Queen Bee's abdomen and flew into the sky at an extremely fast speed. Boom~ The explosive tag exploded, but it didn't cause any damage to it. With the excellent insight brought by the Sharingan, Seimei saw the appearance of the unknown thing clearly. It was Akabane. However, his appearance at this time was more like a bee than a human, and it was a bee standing upright. His eyes were bulging, his body was hunched, his limbs were strangely twisted, and a pair of transparent wings on his shoulder blades were vibrating slightly. If it weren't for the fact that he still looked a bit like a human, Seimei would have thought that he was the Queen Bee number two. It was also at this time that Seimei understood why he felt that Akabane's appearance was a bit like a bee before. Obviously, this secret technique that the other party used at the end had considerable side effects, perhaps transforming people in the direction of bees. In addition, his irritable and easily angered personality should also be related to this. Otherwise, as a special Jonin, even if he had a deep hatred for the Aburame clan, he shouldn't have become so unwise under Seimei's few taunts. In fact, it was indeed the case. The 'Insect Fusion Technique' had significant flaws from the moment it was created. Although performing this technique would allow people to gain some of the Queen Bee's abilities, it would also subtly transform the human body, making people constantly approach bees. This was not only reflected in appearance but would also affect people's minds. The longer the fusion time, the greater the impact. Therefore, even in the Kamizuru clan, the 'Insect Fusion Technique' was taboo and should never be used lightly unless absolutely necessary. But it had to be said that the effect of this technique was still very good. Just like now, Akabane used those wings to fly into the sky, and Seimei had no good way to deal with it. Also, the life-threatening injury on his body had also healed. The combination of these two almost gave Akabane a second life and a chance to turn the tables. However, Seimei stared at Akabane with a gloomy gaze, feeling that something was wrong with his state. He seemed to lack some human touch. Seimei's feeling was not wrong. This was related to another drawback of the 'Insect Fusion Technique', that is, the weaker the caster's mental will, the greater the influence of the Queen Bee after the fusion. Originally, Akabane was already seriously injured before the technique, and his mental will had almost fallen to the bottom. Then, the influence he received after the fusion was naturally the greatest. Now, it was not so much that Akabane was in control of this body, but rather that the Queen Bee was in charge. It was estimated that even if Seimei was killed, the Queen Bee would not undo the 'Insect Fusion Technique'. In this way, as time went by, it could gradually become the new Queen Bee, thus completely occupying this body. And this was also the reason why Akabane couldn't make up his mind to use the 'Insect Fusion Technique' for a long time. Judging from his appearance, it was clear that he had used this technique many times in the past. Then, he must be well aware of the risks involved and the consequences of using the 'Insect Fusion Technique' in that state. Unfortunately, forced by the situation, he had to take a gamble. Now it seemed that he had lost the bet. But for Seimei, this was undoubtedly good news. Compared to dealing with a human, it was easier to target the Queen Bee. Even if it had mastered part of Akabane's memory, it was impossible to perfectly inherit his combat experience. In this way, he might be able to solve it without much effort. With this in mind, Seimei glanced at the蠢蠢欲动的 bee swarm around him and launched the attack first. Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Several shurikens flew out, aiming directly at 'Akabane'. Lv4 'Ninja Tool Throwing', coupled with the Sharingan's powerful insight, the shurikens thrown by Seimei were quite threatening. Of course, this was mainly because 'Akabane' hadn't obtained the Queen Bee's iron-hard shell. Otherwise, let alone a few shurikens, even dozens more wouldn't be able to break through his defense. In that case, even if he shot accurately, it wouldn't be of much use. Fortunately, this situation didn't happen. 'Akabane' sensed the danger and immediately flapped his wings, moving half a meter sideways, easily dodging Seimei's attack. Seeing this, the corner of Seimei's mouth twitched slightly. He knew that it was impossible to kill the opponent by throwing ninja tools, so there was only one way left. Whoosh whoosh whoosh~ Dense bee stings shot over, interrupting Seimei's thoughts and forcing him to dodge. Fortunately, there were enough trees in the forest, and Seimei had the Sharingan to assist him, otherwise such a dense attack would not be something ordinary people could dodge. 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique~' Seimei was not someone who would only be beaten and not fight back. After dodging a round of stingers, he seized the opportunity and immediately launched a counterattack. The enhancement from the Sharingan made his ninjutsu more accurate. Immediately, the bees in the air fell down like rain. 'Akabane' was not to be outdone and immediately controlled the bee swarm to counterattack. The two sides went back and forth, fighting fiercely, which attracted the attention of many people. Fortunately, the battle line was long enough, and there was a bee swarm blocking it, so Seimei's Sharingan was not exposed. Everyone only saw a large group of bees flying frantically around a jungle, and they had no idea what was happening inside. Time passed by. Finally, when the number of bees decreased to two-thirds, Seimei found an opportunity. Looking at 'Akabane' on top of the treetop in front, Seimei's eyes flashed slightly. In the next defense and counterattack, he accidentally stepped on a pool of sticky honey. Seeing this, 'Akabane's eyes lit up, and he quickly controlled more bees to shoot out stingers, while opening his mouth to spit out more honey, trying to completely wrap Seimei. At the critical moment, Seimei used the 'Substitution Jutsu', leaving only a wooden stake in place. Seeing this, a trace of imperceptible disappointment appeared on 'Akabane's ugly face. Then, he looked around for Seimei's trace. At this moment, a call came from the big tree beside him: "Hey, look here!" 'Akabane', without the original owner's vigilance, instinctively looked towards the sound, and then saw a pair of blood-red Sharingan. 'Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique~' That's right, Seimei was waiting for the opportunity to use this technique at close range. 'Akabane' had been flying in the sky all the time, and he had no chance to get close. After planning for a long time, he finally created such an opportunity. First, he pretended to make a mistake to relax 'Akabane', then used the 'Substitution Jutsu' to divert his attention and took the opportunity to get close. Finally, he used the 'Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique' to seal the deal. Looking at 'Akabane' in free fall, Seimei jumped out, swung his short sword in the air, and instantly cut the opponent's throat. Even so, Seimei was still not at ease. He threw another kunai, piercing through the opponent's heart. Feeling the opponent's aura rapidly fading, Seimei finally let out a long sigh of relief. Just as he had expected, dealing with 'Akabane', who was dominated by the Queen Bee, didn't require much effort as long as he found the right opportunity. (End of this chapter)
