Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 552 The Resurrected Minato Couple

"That's exactly right." Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with fanaticism.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique is extremely difficult to learn, requiring almost impossibly high spatial talent. But if we could turn this talent into a transferable ability, and every one of our key members could use the Flying Thunder God Technique, our strategic mobility would be elevated to an unprecedented level."

Of course, the main reason was that Orochimaru wanted to study why his spatial talent was so special that it couldn't be compensated for by talent and hard work.

Shuimen remained silent for a moment.

He tried to sense the space again, attempting to find the weak point in the insect domain barrier, but he found that all his efforts were in vain.

Just then, Kushina finally realized the problem, because the place they had just mentioned was called the Waterfall Insect Empire. This didn't sound like a name that belonged in the ninja world.

He immediately demanded, "Where is Konoha?"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst out laughing.

In the end, Orochimaru explained to them, "Konoha no longer exists, and the Five Great Nations no longer exist."

"How is this possible!" Kushina exclaimed in surprise.

Minato tightened his grip on his wife, pulling her closer. "So it was you who destroyed Konoha!"

As expected, he already had the answer in his heart, but when he received the affirmative answer, he still couldn't accept it.

These people don't look old. How much time has passed? How could it be so fast? Konoha and the Five Great Nations are gone!

However, what he didn't know was that this happened twelve or thirteen years after his death.

The reason they don't look old is that each of them has cultivated special techniques or used special methods to maintain their appearance.

"Actually, Konoha wasn't exactly destroyed. After all, they created an alternate dimension halfway through, dug up a piece of land, and ran away with the people. Heh heh!" Deidara started mocking again.

Hearing that Konoha still existed, the couple breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But soon, Kushina became excited again.

"Where's Naruto? Where's our child, Naruto?"

Aburame Shisei glanced at Orochimaru, who shrugged. Actually, he didn't want to waste any more words with the couple, but if they resisted, the experiment's progress would be slowed down.

So he could only step forward and patiently say, "Naruto Uzumaki is still alive. He lives in a separate alternate dimension with the remnants of Konoha."

Hearing that his son was still alive, Minato smiled. "Thank you for informing me, Lord Orochimaru. However, I would like to reiterate that I refuse to be a test subject. If you feel that reviving me is unfair, you are free to dispose of us without complaint."

"Minato, we have the strength, why don't we break out!" Kushina tapped her husband's forehead, only to find that she couldn't move her body.

Kabuto Yakushi stepped forward with his hands forming hand seals. "Excuse me, but you are still under my control."

How is that possible? The person controlling the couple is just a teenager!

Has he already fallen into evil at such a young age?

If they were all over eighteen and knew their true thoughts, they would definitely complain.

The couple eventually compromised and agreed.

Because they are impure bodies, there is nothing that can be done. It is said that Shisei Aburame has a way to truly revive them. Perhaps after they are truly revived, they will have a chance.

Soon, a giant rhinoceros beetle appeared before them, and Aburame Shisei used the Reincarnation Technique on them.

The impure skin quickly faded, revealing real flesh, and the couple instantly appeared naked before everyone.

Kushina screamed and quickly hid behind her husband, but no one paid any attention.

Because this group of people has no interest in women's bodies whatsoever. Some of them like money, some like to study insects, some like to raise insects, some have lovers, and some simply appreciate the material.

Orochimaru took out a couple of pieces of clothing and threw them over, but as soon as he stepped forward, he was met with Kushina's fist.

He was punched and sent flying several meters away. The couple wrapped themselves in their clothes and immediately assumed a fighting stance.

However, among the crowd, no one reacted much.

Nanshi, who has regained his youthful vigor, is eager to try. In the past six months, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds and is almost back to his peak condition.

Aburame Shisei didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

Nanshi walked out from the crowd.

The battle ended faster than expected.

Minato was indeed a genius. Even with the Flying Thunder God Technique sealed, he still displayed peak Kage-level strength.

Unfortunately, he didn't realize that the version had already been updated.

In particular, since the Empire had already thoroughly studied the theory of chakra authority, Nan Shi, by virtue of his own higher authority, would only suffer physical damage from the chakra's impact on him.

There are no fancy ninja techniques in Nanshi.

His fighting style is simple to the point of being brutal: greater strength, faster speed, and more accurate judgment.

And that unreasonable swordsmanship that can sever the self-awareness within chakra and cause energy collapse.

Three slashes shattered the hero's soul; one kick shattered his ribs.

Kushina tried to make a move, but as soon as she moved, Kakuzu's shadow enveloped her.

"It's better for a young girl to be more honest."

"Stop! Don't touch him!" Minato Uzumaki became agitated, and the half of the Nine-Tails inside him also began to rage.

However, with a simple snap of his fingers, Aburame Shisei caused all the condensed power in the surrounding space to collapse instantly.

"Alright, the game is over."

He stepped forward, looking down at him, and said, "Your era is over. Research on the Flying Thunder God Technique will not stop just because you refuse."

Minato finally closed his eyes. "I'll cooperate."

"Minato!" Kushina shouted, "Don't do it because of me!"

"We have no chance with Kushina." Minato lowered his head because he realized that even the half of the Nine-Tails inside him couldn't gather its power.

"Only by living can you have a chance."

Kushina bit her lip and remained silent.

Seeing that her body was being controlled and about to be sealed away again, Yin Jiuwei made a decisive decision and chose to annihilate herself.

You two good-for-nothings, I might regain my freedom if I go back into my other half of my body.

At this moment, the others said, "My lord, the Nine-Tails has committed suicide."

"It's alright!" Aburame Shisei said, then turned and left.

Since professional tasks should be left to professionals, there's no point in just standing around. Seeing that the excitement had died down, the others also left to do their own things.

It's also a bit of a shame that Minato Namikaze, who was known as the pinnacle of Kage-level power, didn't seem to be that strong after he lost his Flying Thunder God Technique; his skill level was just so-so.
