Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 285 Creating a Powerful Being with a Wave of the Hand

She then began to form the summoning hand seals. In reality, she was not capable of summoning any divine beasts, but with Shisei Aburame's advance payment, she did not need to expend much chakra.

As the final seal was completed, a giant moth appeared in the already small space.

Maria tilted her head back, her face filled with shock. "Wow, so big!"

The young man, Xiaobai, asked, "Sir, is there something you need from me?"

Yu Nu Zhicheng pointed to the other side, "Xiao Bai, you are best at harmonizing. The natural energy in this piece of meat is too chaotic. You need to extract it cleanly, or perhaps mix it into something without attributes, and put it into his body."

"Understood!" In Xiaobai's view, this was just a small matter. He could manipulate such extreme attributes as ice and fire, let alone this little bit of natural energy.

He simply stepped forward and blew on it, and the natural energy within the piece of meat was transformed into the same attribute-less Sage Chakra as him.

Orochimaru watched with envy, but it was a pity that he couldn't possess such a divine insect. It was his turn to make a move.

"Ninja Art: Heaven's Curse Seal!"

Orochimaru formed hand seals and finally pressed the piece of flesh onto the girl's shoulder, which was indeed very painful at first.

Maria frowned, her mouth opened, and her body trembled.

"You're so weak! What a nuisance, I, Moth Maru, still have to step in!"

He spat out bundles of silk, which tightly bound Maria within them, eventually stabilizing all the energy in her body like an incubator.

As the cocoon cracked open, the girl succeeded and became a demigod.

She reached out, looked at her own body, and said excitedly, "Thank you, thank you so much, Master Xiaobai!"

"Don't call me Shiro. How dare you call me Shiro? Please call me Lord Tenmoku!"

"We should go now." Aburame Shisei said, and Xiaobai immediately nodded, then turned into white mist and disappeared into the cave.

"What a perfect creature!" Orochimaru exclaimed.

Aburame Shisei said, "It's nothing. He's just the weakest sage insect I have. Don't be fooled by his large size and ability to use natural powers; he can't even beat some Jonin."

"Shall we begin?"

"Of course," Orochimaru said with a smile.

Maria Ozawa dons a mask, shakes flower bells, beats a drum, and follows the steps recorded on the scroll to perform an ancient yet eerie dance.

Below the stage, Orochimaru sang a ritual song, looking like a shaman summoning demons and gods.

The process of the ceremony... was very strange.

After all, he remembered that this was the ninja world and Orochimaru was a scientist. He didn't expect Orochimaru to have such a wide range of interests, and he was even proficient in shamanistic rituals.

Soon, the shadow of the girl in the center of the altar began to distort, and a sweet, metallic scent filled the air.

Finally, she bit her finger, wrote a psychic incantation in her palm with her blood, and then swallowed the small piece of flesh that belonged to Kato Dan.

In an instant, a cold wind arose, and as space twisted, what appeared was not a ghost or god, but four shadowy figures intertwined with reality.

In the center is a twisted girl with her eyes covered by a black cloth, her figure swaying as if she might dissolve into the air at any moment.

Behind her followed three monstrous demons wielding giant clubs and with ferocious faces.

The blindfolded girl's existence was extremely secretive, and only those with powerful souls or her psychics could see her; while the three demons were much more solid, roughly at the level of Jonin, with unusually tall bodies, ferocious faces, and an unsettling aura of malevolence.

Aburame Shisei stared at the three evil spirits, and the more he looked at them, the more familiar they seemed.

Soon, it suddenly occurred to him that those were the three soul-devouring demons that Tayuya had summoned in the original story!

"It seems Zhicheng is quite surprised!"

For the first time, Orochimaru felt a sense of superiority over his own expertise, and he introduced the topic with a hint of pride in his voice.

"There is no need to doubt it; they are the spiritual objects of the hungry ghost realm. When I was researching historical records, I discovered that the six realms of reincarnation seemed to exist in ancient times, and they were closely related to our spiritual communication techniques."

Rashomon is the gateway to the underworld. Beyond it lie the realms of hell, hungry ghosts, animals, and asuras… Unfortunately, I only reconstructed a small portion of the hungry ghost realm, and could only summon this 'blindfolded demon.'

"Time to get to work, Zhicheng-kun." Orochimaru formed hand seals and quickly changed them.

He passed on a sealing technique to Aburame Shisei, allowing him to temporarily subdue the three mindless evil spirits.

He then unrolled a blank scroll and began drawing a psychic contract.

Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he were capturing a rare specimen.

Although these evil spirits are not powerful, they possess a unique ability to perceive and control souls, making them exceptionally valuable.

This was a rare opportunity, so he naturally wanted to capture as many as possible and turn them into spiritual beings.

Just then, the blindfolded girl in the center seemed to sense the danger, and her figure suddenly became ethereal.

But she still couldn't escape. Sensing the seal getting closer and closer, she dodged left and right, her face showing fear.

Finally, she turned her head to Maria Ozawa, who was hiding on the altar. The other woman was covering her head and pretending not to see her.

Unfortunately, the blindfolded girl relied on her sense of smell, not sight, so Maria Ozawa's hiding was useless.

She flew over and took the initiative to form a contract with Maria Ozawa, transforming into a beam of light that entered Maria's brow and settled deep within her soul.

The remaining three evil spirits were powerless to resist and were all sealed inside the scroll.

"You succeeded." Orochimaru licked his lips, looking at Maria Ozawa, who was slumped on the ground, pale-faced but with surprise in her eyes. "Your luck... is really good."

The girl never expected that what was originally a near-death situation would lead her to receive help from a Kage-level psychic.

So, is she considered a strong person now?

Aburame Zhicheng approached him, expressionless, and said, "The matter is settled; now it's time to point out the direction."

"Oh, oh!" Maria Ozawa nodded repeatedly and reported, "Sir, she has already smelled the scent."

After saying that, she changed her hand seal, and the illusory image of the blindfolded girl reappeared. She raised her finger and pointed in a certain direction.

The group looked in the direction she was pointing and discovered that it was within the Land of Fire.

Orochimaru and Shisei Aburame exchanged a glance, their eyes full of smiles.

Orochimaru chuckled in a hoarse voice, "I never expected that after all this time, I'd end up back in the Land of Fire. Things are getting interesting."

"Should we hurry over there?" Maria Ozawa asked.

Orochimaru summoned a small white snake and sent a message to the camp, saying that he had to leave for a while and that during this time, everyone should retreat thirty miles and try to avoid conflict.

Having done all this, Orochimaru began preparing to summon Manda, intending to have the summoning beast carry them there.

Aburame Shisei stopped him, saying, "It's too slow. Let's fly there instead."

Then wings sprouted from its back, grabbed the two of them, and soared into the sky.
