Naruto: Swarm System

"Begin the match!"

With the examiner's command, the battle between Shishou and Gaara commenced immediately.

Behind Gaara, countless grains of sand emerged from his gourd.

On Shishou's side, swarms of parasitic insects erupted from his small gourd, covering the sky.

Under their control, the sand and insect swarms continued to grow, clashing repeatedly.

Soon, the entire arena was filled with yellow sand and black insect swarms, making it impossible for the spectators to see what was happening inside.

After a short while, the sand and insects dispersed, revealing an unconscious Gaara.

Shishou stood in his original spot, yawning out of boredom.

If it weren't for the desire to become a Chunin and gain more freedom, he wouldn't bother bullying kids.

Everyone present was shocked.

They knew Shishou was strong, but this was beyond their expectations. He had defeated the Sand Village's Jinchuriki so quickly?

The dumbfounded examiner, Genma Shiranui, declared, "The winner is Shishou Aburame."

Although he was present, he had no idea what had happened.

"Gaara!"

Temari was startled and immediately appeared beside Gaara to check on him.

"Ah!!!"

As soon as Temari touched Gaara, she screamed and quickly pulled back her right hand.

Upon closer inspection, she saw several caterpillars crawling on Gaara's body, one of which had stung her.

"Hehehe, got stung again."

Seeing his prank succeed, Shishou laughed and used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear.

Sting and run, that was the thrill!

"You bastard, stop right there!"

Seeing Shishou run away, Temari, holding her swollen right hand, chased after him in anger.

If she didn't catch Shishou and get the antidote, she would be in trouble.

Watching the chase, Kankuro shook his head, used his puppet to remove the caterpillars from Gaara, and left with him.

Elsewhere, Shishou ran through the Konoha forest, stopping by a river.

Temari quickly followed, arriving by his side, her face filled with anger.

"Give me the antidote!"

Her stung right hand was itchy and uncomfortable, driving her mad.

Shishou sat on the grass by the river and smiled at Temari, "Apologize to me."

"Apologize? For what?" Temari was puzzled.

Shishou lay down by the river, smiling, "You said I was bragging, hurting my delicate feelings. So, you need to apologize. After that, I'll treat you."

Temari was so angry she nearly ground her teeth to dust.

She had never met such a petty person before.

Seeing Temari's angry expression, Shishou sat up, extended his hand, and smiled, "Seeing how reluctant you are, I'll generously forgive you. Give me your hand."

By proposing an excessive demand first and then a smaller one, Shishou ensured she would choose the latter.

His main goal was to hold her hand and deepen their relationship.

Given Temari's proud and strong-willed nature, apologizing was out of the question.

So, when Shishou suggested treating her hand, she immediately lowered her guard and handed it to him.

Holding Temari's swollen hand, Shishou gently massaged it to alleviate the caterpillar's venom.

Feeling the peculiar sensation of Shishou holding and massaging her hand, Temari's face flushed slightly.

She felt as if he was taking advantage of her.

To alleviate the awkward and strange feelings inside, Temari asked, "How did you defeat Gaara?"

Gaara was the Sand Village's Jinchuriki, and being defeated so quickly was a serious matter.

While relieving the venom, Shishou explained, "It's simple. Gaara's sand defense couldn't block my attacks. Once my insects distracted his sand, it was easy to defeat him."

Temari raised an eyebrow and continued, "Your attacks can penetrate Gaara's sand defense? How?"

Shishou looked at her and smiled, "If you promise to keep it a secret, I'll tell you."

Temari responded, "As long as you tell me, I'll keep it a secret."

Shishou, still holding her hand, extended his right hand and raised a finger.

Buzz!!!

A blue chakra glow appeared, forming a Rasengan at his fingertip.

Temari was stunned, "You know this technique too?"

She vividly remembered Naruto using this move to break through Gaara's defense.

Shishou, still holding her hand, continued, "That's not all."

As he spoke, the Rasengan at his fingertip transformed into a pure white Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

Seeing the white Rasenshuriken, Temari was speechless with shock.

Just from the terrifying energy emanating from the Rasenshuriken, she could tell its power was immense.

Shishou explained, "This is the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, integrating wind chakra nature into the Rasengan, making it dozens of times more powerful."

After explaining, he dispelled the Rasenshuriken.

After a long pause, Temari recovered from her shock and said, "Your wind release is that strong?"

From Shishou's display, it was clear his control over wind chakra far exceeded hers.

Shishou smiled, "Want to learn?"

Temari nodded eagerly, "Yes!"

Learning Shishou's wind release techniques would greatly enhance her strength.

Seeing Temari take the bait, Shishou couldn't help but laugh, "Then meet me here every evening for the next few days. I'll teach you as much as I can before you return to the Sand Village."

"Deal!" Temari exclaimed excitedly, her eyes shining.

In her excitement, she realized her right hand was still in Shishou's grasp, causing her face to turn red as she quickly pulled her hand away.

"See you tomorrow then," Shishou said, standing up and using the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

Watching him disappear, Temari bit her lip.

"See you tomorrow."

...

Land of Rivers.

Inside Orochimaru's village base.

While discussing relocation plans with Orochimaru, Raiko suddenly turned her head.

In her line of sight, space distorted, and Uchiha Obito appeared before her and Orochimaru.

Seeing Obito, Raiko's eyes lit up.

"Space-time ninjutsu?"
