The matter with Insect Sister is temporarily concluded.
Miki was not in a hurry to hatch the insect eggs given by her grandfathers; instead, she proceeded to hatch the second type of insect eggs found at the base.
Each one was only the size of a soybean, and there was a large handful in the clay pot.
As they hatched, the insect eggs visibly grew larger, and after about several minutes, a flying insect broke out of its shell.
It was about the size of a finger joint, larger than hundreds of Insects, and unlike Insects, which are coleopterans, this insect belonged to the lepidopterans.
It resembled a Butterfly, covered entirely in white scales.
It had two pairs of delicate scaled wings.
With a small head, large eyes, and a fluffy appearance, it was extremely cute.
Its pure white body also made it look like a small rabbit, and its feathery antennae resembled both rabbit ears and twin pigtails.
In short, it was a very cute insect.
"Isn't this a silkworm moth?" Miki mumbled, looking at the little creature.
It's the thing that eats mulberry leaves and spins silk.
Then it's made into silk.
However, on Earth, the larva spins silk, while this one is an adult from birth.
It didn't look like it had much combat ability.
Miki frowned, watching the little creature flapping its wings on her finger, unable to fly.
What use does this guy have?
It looked like a courtship behavior, constantly releasing specific pheromones.
"It seems to be a failed product," Old Man Shiyū said.
"Failed product?" Miki questioned.
In nature, cute animals must have amazing qualities; for example, sharks and dolphins—don't let the shark's ferocious appearance fool you, unless it's suicidal, it usually won't mess with a dolphin.
"In the past, clan members tried to cultivate other types of insects, but none were as excellent as the Insects. Therefore, the clan did keep these failed attempts," Old Man Shiyū said.
However, the truth is that even powerful existences like Insect Sister were nearing death due to the passage of time.
Yet, these cute little insects still maintained vigorous vitality.
Just as Miki was about to test the little creature's abilities, Insect Sister beside her bit Miki's finger.
Miki couldn't help but look at Insect Sister.
Insect Sister looked at Miki innocently.
The poor little creature had already disappeared into Insect Sister's mouth.
"Let go!"
One really couldn't be too careful.
This child's energy and curiosity were simply too strong.
Insect Sister let go and looked at Miki.
Completely unaware of her mistake, her eyes looked expectantly at the clay pot in Miki's hand.
Seeing this, Miki licked her lips, as if it tasted very good.
"Is it delicious?"
Miki asked.
Insect Sister nodded wildly.
"I'll try it with a cold dressing when we get home," Miki said thoughtfully.
Then she raised her hand and chopped Insect Sister on the head with a palm strike.
Insect Sister tilted her head.
The beast's intuition could be trusted; if it was something that couldn't be eaten, Insect Sister, acting on instinct, should not have preyed on it.
"Mushi-Hime, I've given you the things. Remember to come find us for training after school tomorrow."
Old Man Shiyū didn't care about the moth-like insect. After speaking to Miki, he left decisively.
"Oh, and you can choose any Ninjutsu scroll you like. I won't accompany you."
"Yes."
After responding, Miki began to look through the clan's Ninjutsu scrolls.
They were basically some very common Earth Release.
There were virtually no forbidden Jutsu.
After some time, she made a few discoveries.
There was no Shadow Clone as she had expected, and of course, no sealing technique.
Among them, the Aburame Clan did not need Shadow Clone because they had the more cost-effective Insect Clone.
And when Miki was playing around with the Third Hokage before, she wasn't using Insect Clone, but the Transformation Technique, which was an illusion.
Insect Clone was recorded in the secret scrolls left by her father, with the three most powerful techniques being Insect Wall for defense, Insect Orb for attack, and Insect Tornado Technique.
Miki could use them without needing to specifically learn them.
However, the secret techniques discovered by the clan were pitifully few.
One technique Miki didn't have was the Secret Technique: Insect Summoning.
This technique could attract a large number of wild insects.
Its usefulness was neither great nor small.
It seemed to be of little use.
But it seemed very effective against Insects or other insect users.
The second was the Insect Evil Folk Tool Technique.
This technique could interfere with the perception of sensory Shinobi.
It was a very practical technique on the battlefield.
Although it was useless against the Byakugan.
The third was the Secret Technique: Poison Eradication Technique.
This technique was specifically for detoxification. The principle was simple: have the Insects absorb the toxins. The overall difficulty lay in the precision of operation and an accurate understanding of the human body.
It belonged to Medical Ninjutsu, and the overall difficulty was relatively high.
Miki only lacked medical knowledge, not operational precision, so learning it was not very difficult.
Conversely, it could also inject toxins.
Poisoning insects was quite simple; a packet of medicinal powder mixed with water could solve the problem.
However, clan members rarely used it, as one operational error by the insects could easily injure themselves.
My insects are poisoned! Lick!
This situation.
After several accidents, the secret scrolls stated that no one foolish enough still did this.
The fourth was the Secret Technique: Life Transfer Technique.
Also a Medical Ninjutsu, as mentioned before, Insects convert Chakra into life energy for their own consumption by absorbing it.
This technique utilized this fact: Insects, by transmitting Chakra, could convert a limited amount of life energy to sustain severely injured individuals.
The fifth was also Medical Ninjutsu, the Secret Technique: Wound Healing Technique. Insects themselves are products of Yang Release and can use simple Yang Release to heal wounds.
If not for this, the skin of the Aburame Clan would be full of dense, tiny holes dug by Insects, and their appearance would be several times more terrifying.
But basically, it was just like the efficacy of Yunnan Baiyao.
It's just that the speed of wound healing far exceeded Yunnan Baiyao.
Of these techniques, except for Secret Technique: Insect Summoning, although Miki hadn't learned them, she already knew them; they were essentially just applications of Insects.
The clan's secret techniques were mainly these, pitifully few.
The technique Miki valued most was the Forbidden Jutsu: Pot Poison Technique.
The technique was designed to work with Shihu's poisonous insects, created by predecessors.
Its destructive power was terrifying, and it indiscriminately harmed both friend and foe.
On the battlefield, it gathered a large number of corpses as a breeding ground for nano-poisonous insects, using a Barrier to accelerate their reproduction. Once enough were cultivated, they would be detonated and spread by the wind, diffusing rapidly.
The resulting insect cloud was extremely deadly.
Miki didn't care much about the destructive power.
She only cared about the Barrier that accelerated reproduction.
This thing was a super-amplified version of the secret technique for hatching.
The difference was that even if it wasn't Insects, organisms would also accelerate cell division and grow rapidly.
It was very useful for rapidly deploying troops in a short time and accelerating experimental cultivation of subjects.
It was, for Miki, an absolute treasure.
So, Miki first chose a C-rank Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage.
An Earth Release Hardening Technique.
Finally, a B-rank Wind Release: Vacuum Orb.
One for attack, one for defense, one for escape; the strategy was very clear.
Miki's Chakra affinities were Wind and Earth; Fire Release and Water Release were temporarily beyond her learning capabilities.
As a clan that co-evolved with Insects, Miki theoretically also had the Yang Release affinity.
But the clan had no Ninjutsu related to Yang Release.
Any Medical Ninjutsu she could learn would have to be sought in the Village.
As for Taijutsu, the clan had none at all.
After this trip, Miki's harvest was abundant.
